"Why are you still here?" Ruth asked with a shy face, as Das is staring at her face.

"How is it? Did the pain go away?" Das asked Ruth without turning his gaze.

"I'm perfectly alright. You should leave now." Ruth said while turning her face away from him.

"What happened between you? Why are you hating that Finn guy?" Das asked her in a serious tone.

"Why do you care? It's not your business to know about my affairs. Please leave…" Ruth spoke in a plain voice.

"Ruth, I can't leave you in this condition. Please share your burden with me." Das said while holding her hand. Her eyes became moist after hearing Das reply. She hid her face between her knees and started sobbing silently.

Das let her relieve her emotions and did not disturb her for a long time. Ruth, who always looked dominant and strong, turned into a fragile and vulnerable flower. With red eyes, she stared at Das for a moment before asking him a question that he never expected.

"Das, did you ever love someone?" Ruth asked with a serious face that was covered in tears.

Instead of answering her question, Das cleaned her tears with his finger and caressed her cheeks like a caring partner.

"It's alright. You're already ahead of your past. So, stop burdening yourself with what has already happened". Das said with a sweet smile while adjusting her hair to the back of her ear.

"Das, Master Finn, was my lover in the past." Ruth said with a straight face. She continued to stare at Das to see his reaction. But Das acted calmly without showing any surprise on his face.

"What happened?" Das asked again after a short delay.

"Around fifteen years ago, we used to work for a secret agency. After two years of training, one day Finn proposed to me in front of all the members of the agency, and I accepted his love wholeheartedly."

"That was the biggest mistake I made in life." Ruth said in an aggrieved tone while staring at Das with a stoic face. Das kept his silence and kept on hearing the full story from Ruth.

"After one month of proposing, the palace master of the secret agency conducted a competition to select a personal disciple."

"As the strongest pair in the organisation, we were both selected for the finals. But a night before the competition, Finn begged me for the winner's position. He promised to marry me after getting the position of personal disciple of the palace master."

"Like a brainless idiot, I accepted his proposal." Ruth said while staring at her face in the green-coloured water in the bathtub.

"Ruth, don't blame yourself. It is not your mistake to love someone." Das said in a consoling tone.

"You don't know Das. That Finn not only betrayed me after the competition, he married the daughter of the palace master and forced me to kneel before him with authority." Ruth spoke in an aggrieved tone.

After consoling her for a long time, Das helped her get out of the bath tub. He passed on a towel along with fighter uniform and turned around to give her some privacy.

Without caring about the presence of Das, Ruth cleaned her wet body and changed into new fighter clothes. Later, with the help of Das, she walked near the bed. After arranging water, snacks, and a mobile near Ruth, Das decided to leave as he was getting late for college.

"Das, if it is okay for you, please stay here for some more time." Ruth asked with a shy face and avoided his gaze by turning her face towards the opposite wall.

With a sweet smile, Das sat beside her on the bed and placed her head on his lap. Ruth did not oppose his actions, even though he was taking her for granted. She slowly fell asleep in his lap like a fragile doll.

It really looked odd to see a forty-year-old fat woman sleeping like a baby while a teenager in his twenties is caressing her hair like a caring husband.

Inside the Shetty family training centre (different location)

On the top floor, the Shetty family patriarch, the Mittal brothers, the strategist of the Shetty family, and the three main fighters hired by the Shetty family gather around a round table.

Everyone is waiting for the Shetty family patriarch's announcement, as he called for this meeting urgently.

The Shetty family's second brother stood up to explain the important news.

"Our spies in the Reddy family training centre sent important news. Master Li, hired by the Reddy family, announced that he is preparing the Crescent Formation for the upcoming blood duel." The second brother of the Shetty family explained loudly and sat beside his brother.

"Madam, what do you think about our future plan? Which strategy should we use to counter their crescent formation?" The Shetty family patriarch asked the old woman, who is in her sixties. She is the strategist hired by the Shetty family.

"Mr. Shetty, they really chose to play safely by taking on the crescent formation. But the good thing is we have three high-level fighters, so we will also follow the crescent formation. Let's fight head-on." The old woman suggested it with an evil laugh.

The three strong fighters also nodded their heads, as it would be easy for them to counter the crescent formation with a 3:2 advantage.

Later, the old woman sent the three fighters out of the room after explaining to them what to do in the next three days.

"Shetty, what happened with the high-level fighter we sent to the Reddy family? Did he succeed?" The old woman asked in a low voice, as this is their biggest trump card in the upcoming blood duel.

"Madam, you don't need to worry. He is already inside the Reddy family training centre, and most probably he will lead one side of the crescent formation." The Shetty family patriarch replied with a wide smile.
