As soon as the boat left the shore and Myra and Manav departed for Germany, Ayan and his two men prepared themselves for the final part of the plan. They already established a satellite network on the island from their location and had connected a lot of devices through that system. Then in their time spent on the island, they found the people who were stuck on the island without their will and who were willing to rescue themselves and their families and who wanted to destroy the island. Those people already knew the plan. They had to respond the signal sent by Ayan on the devices provided to them and stay silent about the plan. As soon as the boat left the shore, Ray called Keshav who was prepared with couple of ships on an island with just 2 hours distance from the location of the island on which Ayan was waiting for them. They reached there earlier on the same day and were fully prepared with all the equipment. On getting a green flag from their boss, they sailed towards the island hidden within the fog and darkness of nights. They were careful to not cross their way with the Manav's boat and soon they reached the radius of the boundaries of the island, they sent a stranded boat towards the front of the island. They knew that fighting a lot of people on an island unknown to them will be suicidal and thus, it was necessary to win this battle through their wits and not through their power. So, their objective was to only divert the attention of the night guards for a few hours till the time they all escape from the island, and it worked. The night guards saw the boat from a distance and the re enforcements were called towards the direction from which the boat was coming. No one was paying attention to the already isolated part of shore and thus, the 2 boats reached the shore as per Keshav's order. As soon as the boats reached the shore, the people who were on Ayan's side were already waiting for them. They received the signal on the devices provided by Ayan and thus, they reached there with a hope of gaining freedom. They boarded the ships on Ayan's cue and once everyone boarded the ships, Ayan and San carefully planted the timed nuclear bomb in the same cave in which they were living for the past few days. They carried the material for making the bomb and San spent his last few days in assembling the bomb and the bomb was now ready to be planted. They set the timer for 8 hours in which they will finally be able to cover a safe distance so as to remain unharmed from the effects of explosion. As soon as the timer of the bomb started, they too boarded the ships and the ships then again sailed back, towards freedom. Ayan, Keshav, Ray and San were all on the same boat and San updated Ayan about the successful implementation of the bomb when Keshav came after having discussion with the captain.

Keshav: Weather is on our side today. The water is silent and with our fast pace, we will reach within the safe location before morning.

San: Boss, Myra madam's locator has already covered a safe distance and they will be boarding the chopper soon. The ship is then planned to follow the chopper as the ship has a few of the trusted men of Manav. But the ship will not reach there before tomorrow night. If you take the chopper after 2 hours from now, then you'll reach their tonight. This is our best chance. Once the chopper takes off from the ship, then we can destroy the ship.

Keshav: Yes boss, our ship is already placed on the route of their ship and once the chopper takes off, we can bomb their ship on your orders.

Ayan: Perfect. Good work boys. Keshav and Ray, you will come with me in the chopper. San you take charge from here. Take both the ships back to the England and take all the rescuers to our rehab center. We will see where we can use them later. Once we rescue Myra, I want to take her to India immediately, so I'll not be available in England for a few days, but Ray will join you after tomorrow. Take your positions. I'm going to rest for some time, inform me once we are in safe zone to fly and we will depart immediately.

Keshav: Yes boss, see you in 2 hours.

Ayan went towards his suite in the ship and shut his door after entering inside. He breathed a sigh of relief and muttered.

"I will protect you at all costs this time Myra. I'll not let that bastard harm you. Just hold on a little longer. I'll not fail you this time."

His body was enraged while thinking about their fate for the last 2 years just because he let Manav live last time. This time, he won't repeat the same mistake.

Meanwhile on the other ship, Manav was sitting beside a sleeping Myra in his suit when one of his men informed him about their entrance in the safe zone. He signaled him to wait outside and nudged Myra.

Manav: Hey, Myra, wake up now. It's time. We have to take a chopper now and you'll have to steady yourself for a while.

Myra opened her eyes and nodded slightly to Manav. He picked her up again and moved towards the upper portion of the boat where the chopper was landed on the helipad. The pilot bowed to him and Manav along with Myra and his one man boarded the chopper.

Pilot: Sir, the coast is clear, and weather is fine. We will reach our destination by evening. Shall we depart? I request you to buckle up and make sure that madam is also properly buckled up.

Manav was sitting with Myra on the back seat, and he nodded while buckling both of them. Since Myra was feeling weak, he made her lean on him and caress her hair. She didn't protest and lean on his lap while closing her eyes.

Manav: Myra, I want to confess something, please listen to me.

The pilot already started the chopper and Myra opened her eyes listening to Manav's sad voice.

Manav: You know what; I fell in love with you when I first saw you. You were this cute bubbly girl who was always looking to help others out. I fell for you hard when I saw that you are beautiful inside out. But I knew you didn't want to be in a relationship at that time, you just weren't ready. So, I respected your boundaries and befriended you. Being a friend with you was the best thing happened to me ever. You were always there for me, and I was always there for you. Everything was going in the perfect direction. I was soon going to propose you after our graduation, but before that, I made the biggest mistake of my life by introducing you to Ayan. He was my friend, and he was this big playboy who was a hard nut to crack. Never in my wildest dream did I hope that he can fell for you, but he did. I tried to keep him away from you, but he already went too far. You were scared, scared after the farewell incident. So, I thought to give you some space. I almost got you and you too started liking me, but then again, that devil re appeared in our lives to make It a hell. Yes, he let me live, but tell me, what did I do to deserve what I got? I loved you. I loved you before he even knew you. I was always there for you. And I was a good guy but see where my goodness led me to. I was alone, broke and without any support. I had no choice but to turn to the evil side. I joined the mafia who was against Ayan, and I just wanted to get you. I had no intentions of hurting anyone. 2 years back, you came to me again, but only to tell me that you are going away from me forever. I know I did wrong by trying to force you at that time and I was doing wrong till date before you got sick. I admit my mistakes and my wrong deeds. I admit that I bore intentions to harm you and your loved ones when I ordered my men to destroy the shelter home, but I had no realization till that time. I just wanted to win you, with hook or crook. But when you fell ill this time, I know that even if I keep you captive by my side, I am no one to force your love. You will never be mine for what I did.

To say Myra was shocked, would be an understatement. After all these years, was Manav really repenting his mistakes?

Myra: Manav, are you lying to me?

A chuckle escaped from Manav's mouth before he spoke again.

Manav: Look around you Myra. You are with me and that's all that I have desired since I first saw you. You know that comparing the strengths of our body, I can easily force you this instant. I have absolutely no reason to lie to you. Yes, I admit that I adopted the wrong means. Even when you were brought here, my first intention was to punish you, to make you regret running away from me. But last few days have completely overturned my life. I am regretting all my actions and deeds. Tell me Myra, you were always a spiritual person, and you were even living with Catholics from the last 2 years, is there any way I can redeem myself? I'll do anything you say. I want to right all the wrongs done by me. I wasn't this person, and you know this. Situations forced me to do these things and now that my eyes are opened, I just want to see you happy, with me or without me. I have made a decision, after getting you treated, I'll let you go safely to wherever you want and then I'll go serve the mankind. I promise you today, that one day, you'll be proud of me again and maybe, on that day you will forgive your friend and I will regain your friendship.

Myra: Are you serious Manav? I don't trust you.

Manav: I understand Myra, and after all, I haven't done anything for you to trust me. But I'll show you now. My most trusted man is in the front seat; he will take you to the hospital and get you treated well. Then he will drop you wherever you want to go. You despise me and you too believe that I am beyond redemption, so, it will be better if the world goes on without me. If I have ever been good to you, then please carry only good memories of us in future and forget about the bad Manav. I hope to see you in next lifetime. I'll then definitely regain your friendship then. Goodbye my sweetheart.

With this, Manav instructed the pilot to slow down the chopper and opened up the back gate. He was about to jump when Myra did something completely unexpected. She took out the spy device hidden under her bra and threw away the spy device outside the chopper. She immediately held Manav's hand tightly and shouted.

Myra: Please shut the door Manav, I have to tell you something.

Manav was surprised from her sudden force and did as tell. When he closed the door, then Myra left his hand and maintained some distance between them.

Myra: Manav, you are one person who was once my most trusted friend. I know what happened to you was wrong and I know that somewhere, only I am responsible for all of that. Ayan did that to you because of me. So, it's not completely your fault. You got the second chance, but you didn't have enough faith to be good at that time, and that is why you took the wrong path. However, it is never too late to realize. I am happy today that you understood your mistake and decided to turn back to the path of good. Dying is never an option. You will not get anything out of dying. If you really want to repent your sins, then make amends. Will you, Manav?

Manav: Yes Myra, I will. But what did you throw out of the chopper.

Myra: That was... nothing. Just trust me this last time. I have saved your life today and by doing so; I have trusted you this one last time. Please don't break my trust. Now, can you please let me go?

Manav: Yes Myra. I trust you with my life. But you aren't well. Can I get you treated before I let you go?

Myra: No Manav, a promise is a promise. I am fine and I can manage on my one. Can you please send me back to India? I want to see my parents, how they are doing. I haven't seen them in last 2 years and I want to go home now.

Manav: I can't deny you now, not when I actually want to change for good. However, we have to change course of our route if you want to go to India and the chopper doesn't have that much fuel. Can you trust me this one last time? We have to take a stop in Mexico for a refill. I also know some people over there who will arrange for our visas to India and then we will be good to go. Without proper visa, you might have to face difficulty over there so it will be good if we prepare everything beforehand.

Myra: Okay, Mexico it is then.

Manav instructed the pilot, and they change their course towards Mexico. He was sitting beside Myra and tears were flowing from his eyes. Myra was looking at him intently and she was somewhere feeling guilty of this state as he was in this disastrous condition because of her. He once used to be a good man but maybe this is what result of loving someone is. She also paid a price because of someone else's love and Manav was also suffering because of loving someone. In her heart, she silently vowed, to not trust love anymore.

She threw away the spy device because she saw the actual guilt in Manav's eyes. She knew that everyone deserves a second chance and if Ayan got a hold of Manav, then he will kill him right away. Manav to deserve a second chance, at least when he was repenting his mistakes and was ready to make amends. She saw the truth in the eyes of her long-lost friend and decided to trust him one more time. Moreover, if Ayan would have been successful in his plan, then not only he would have killed Manav, but she wasn't even sure of her fate, then. Ayan helped her when she needed the most and he was all sweet and sugary when he came to meet her on the island, but she knew that Ayan was also no less monstrous than Manav. After all, it all started because of Ayan. In her heart, she was scared of the after math once Ayan rescued her. But God finally came to her rescue before Ayan. In this way, not only Manav will get a second chance, but she will get one chance too. She just wanted to see her family for the last time and then she wanted to go away, once and for all. She wanted to go as far as possible and to open a school for kids somewhere. She wanted to spend rest of her life in giving the society as much as she can and to not love anyone anymore. She was tired of being scared, she was tired of hiding and she was tired of over thinking. She just wanted to live her life away from the traitorous emotion of love, even if it was only for a while.

Meanwhile somewhere in the middle of the sea, Ayan was preparing to take off to Germany from his chopper when San came running towards him.

San: Boss, we have a problem, the spy device is not showing any signal. The last spotted location of the device was in the middle of the ocean towards the way to Germany but now, we have lost its signal, and we aren't able to track it anymore.

Ayan takes a look at the tab showing the last location of the device. He clenched his figures in anger and gritted his teeth.

Keshav: But how is this possible boss? It must be because of winds maybe. We should start soon and reach our destined location on time if wind is the problem. But the weather reports seem fine. Anyway, boss, I think we should hurry.

Ayan: It's of no use now Keshav. He already knew...
