Recap: Ajey saw you and Akash at the shoot. He felt bad and left from their angrily. He came back home and fought with you too. You went up and locked yourself in.
The whole night you couldn't sleep. In the morning, you got up and went to wash your face. The mascara was spread all over your cheek because of crying. Your eyes were red. You splashed water on your face and suddenly got a flashback of Ajey's words, "actress or characterless".
You came out of your room and looked at Ajey's room with a disappointment. It was still locked. You went downstairs and saw left over food on the dining table, smelling very bad. Then you saw roses lying on the ground, dead.

You picked them up and then saw a folded piece of paper lying near the dinning table. You picked it up and was about to read when your phone rang. It was your Mom.
On Call:
Alisha: Hey Mom.
Your Mom: Good Morning, love. How are you? [Smiles]
Alisha: I'm good. You tell me, how are you? How's Dad?
Your Mom: We both are good. So had breakfast?
Alisha: No I was about to make it.
Your Mom: Ajey's awake?
Alisha: No Mom he's asleep.
Your Mom: Oh.. Babe you sound a little off today, what happened?
Alisha: Ah.. Nothing. I didn't sleep well so maybe.. I'm fine Mom. [Fakes Laugh]
Your Mom: Okay then. Take Care. I love you. [Smiles]
Alisha: Yeah.. Love you too Mom.
[Your POV: Why am I lying to Mom that I'm fine? I'm not fine at all. I'm broken and depressed. Why I can't say this to anyone?]
You put your phone back and kept the letter inside your pocket and went to make breakfast. It was an off day for you. There was no shoot today. So you were somehow relaxed.
On the other side, Ajey just woke up and got fresh.
[Ajey's POV: I shouldn't have said that to her. She was hurt but she's more hurt now. Fuck me! But I really felt bad about that scene and I don't have control over my anger. I think I should apologise to her. But when it will feel right then I'll do. ]
He went downstairs and saw you in the kitchen. He approached you. He wanted to talk to you and say sorry but he wasn't able to.
Ajey: My friends are coming for lunch today.
You nodded your head in agreement. Indirectly, he was saying that you have to cook lunch for them too. You understood that and started doing your work again. You made coffee and passed it to Ajey and went to do other works. Ajey too went to his studio.
Time passed and now Ajey's friends came for the lunch. He talked to them for a while and asked you to serve lunch.
All this time you were faking your smile in front of them. They complimented you as well. Finally, they were gone after a few hours. You went to the kitchen and started cleaning all the dishes.

There was a haunted silence echoing in the house. You were still hurt because of past night's incident but were controlling your tears. At last, you couldn't hold it anymore. You started crying and started talking to yourself.
Alisha: Do I really deserve this? I'm tired. I'm tired of disappointing people. Every single time I try to fix things, It becomes more messed up and complex. I end up losing people whom I love the most. Why I can't be normal and happy? I tired of this drama. My whole life has been a drama itself and now this. I just hate myself. I hate my life. I wish I were dead. [Screams]
Ajey: Don't you even dare think about that.
Ajey was standing outside the kitchen. He heard everything and stepped in when you screamed that you want to be dead.
Alisha: What are you doing here? [Wipes tears]
Ajey: I'm here to talk over last night's matter.
Alisha: I don't wanna talk about it. [Keeps glass aside]
Ajey: But I wanna. Maybe we can fix things again.
Alisha: I can't fix what I've broken. It will be better if you won't bother yourself for me now.
Ajey: How can you say that? It's not like that Alisha. I know you're hurt and somehow it's my fault. You were just doing your work. I was the one who behaved possessive.
Alisha: I'm not hurt. Who told you I'm hurt? I'm fine.
Ajey: How can you say you're fine when you're actually not? I can clearly see that you're not fine.
Ajey tried to come forward and hold you but you pushed him back.
Alisha: Look you've no need to care about me. I'm not your responsibility, after all. I'll do everything that a GOOD WIFE does but I won't be your WIFE.
You left from there, went to your room and locked yourself.
Ajey was so hurt by your words. But he didn't bothered you further because he knew that you were furious and decided to talk to you later.
A few days passed like this. You started giving Ajey silence treatment. He tried to talk to you but you used to ignore him. Ajey was broken deep down as you were not talking to him. He felt unloved. It was like he's going crazy without hearing your voice.
One day in the evening, you sat to have some coffee and self-time. On the coffee table, in your room, you saw a folded paper. It was the same paper that you found near the dining table. It was Ajey's letter that he went to give you with those roses but angrily threw them on the floor, later.
You opened the letter to read it. The letter said....
