Yukti and Steve were hugging each other, she was sobbing, after a while she stopped. Steve gently asked- "M..Miss a..are you okay? " That she lost her senses,  but Steve's strong arms caught her. While Ranjiv arrived, he asked- what happened to ma'am? Steve- Umm...I think she needs rest , she got stabbed by that stranger! Ranjiv- Whatt!? Then let's quickly take her to her home.

Steve- But...everyone knows her address , enemies can attack 

Ranjiv- Yeah mine's too.....but wait! no one knows your  address,  let's take her to your residence..I mean if you are comfortable enough. 

Steve- Sure , I would be happy if I could help my county's Bravehearts.

At Steve's residence 

Ranjiv- OH.. OK Steve,  take care of her. I got some work 

Steve- OK sir..have a safe journey ( Ranjiv leaves)

It's the evening time....Steve told Yukti to bandage herself and offered her tea. He asked her about the case, when she told that it's strange that the court has extended the date, and she needs his help. In reply Steve told her that he can to anything to give his uncle aunt justice. 

Yukti- Well if don't mind and are comfortable so...can I live at your residence as a guest until this case solves?

Steve- Yeah sure...let me show you my house and your bedroom. 

(While walking)

Yukti- Aa.....I'm..I'm sorry 😐

Steve- Can I ask why?

Yukti- Actually I was not in senses back then, so I just hugged you..🙁

Steve-Haha...it's OK  , I can understand.....it's totally OK (walking upstairs)  SO, this room is yours from now.

Yukti was about to slip from the uppermost stair but Steve catched  her. 

Steve- Why do you always fell in my arms?

Yukti- What!?( she felt butterflies in her stomach)

Steve- Nothing..I'm downstairs , feel free to ask anything 

Yukti- Thanks!( she was still in his arms)

Steve in mind- Why do I always feel butterflies in my stomach holding her.......ah..my heart is beating like a bullet train. Breaking the silence he said- sorry ! (aparting from her) Good night!

Yukti- Good night!

But there eyes were still on each other
