Pallavi returned to her shop and continued her daily chores.... At night, after shutting down the shop, Pallavi was walking back home when a car started following her.

Pa : Yeah car mujhe follow kyu kar raha hai... (She speeds up and walks fast. But the car too picks up pace. Pallavi runs. After a while,the car was no longer spotted) Thank you Bappa. Bachaliya.

She took a few minutes to rest and started walking back home. Suddenly out of no where a car was advancing in her direction from front. Pallavi closed her eyes due to sudden light. When she opened her eyes,her blood almost drained. Car was advancing with full speed. It can hit/kill her. She started walking backwards

Pa : (in fear) Help.. help.... He.... Ahh!!!(she screamed as the car stopped just a few inches away from her. This was too much of fear. Pallavi shakily moved her legs back. But her legs twisted and she felt on the road. Her forehead got hurt.)

A man came out of the car and smirked looking at her condition.

Voice : Aww!! Tch tch tch.... Tumko toh bina dhakka khaye lag gaya.... Saree ka dukan...
Pa : (snapped back in anger) Raghav Rao.... Tum... Himmat kaise hui tumhari mere sath itna ganda mazak karne ka... You're about to kill me... Tumm... Ouch!(her leg was hurt. She was not able to stand)
Ra : Careful (concern) bohot lag gaya?(he went near her and held her hand and pulled her up with force that she ended up crashing against his chest. Pallavi detached and looked at him with anger). Tumhara forehead... (Pallavi moved away not allowing him to touch) Sorry,but,(Now,his expression is changing. He smirked, evil one) I'm not sorry... Saree ka dukan..... Tum kya bola... Mazak!! Mai koi mazak Nahi kar raha, Raghav Rao mazak wala relationship rakta nai... Mai cahate toh tujhko maar deta aur kisiko dur dur taak bhanak nahi lagta ki tum kaise maar gaya.... Yeah baash trailer hai... Raghav Rao apna enemies koh kaisa treat karta hai.... Ardham aindi? You better understand.... Now,get lost... (He turned to go... He's about to open the car door. Suddenly Pallavi held his hand stopping him.) Kya hua.... Aaj ka quota tera pura nahi hua?
Pa : Aab hoga (before Raghav could understand what she meant,a loud slap echoed. Yes, Pallavi slapped him hard. Her finger marks were imprinted on his cheeks. Raghav held his cheeks and was looking at her with pure rage.) Mujhe laga tha tumko mai galat insan Samajh baithi.... Meri misunderstanding hai.... But no,tum Insan hi galat ho... Mujhe daya ho raha hai... Jaya aunty keh liye,she must be ashamed of you... Isiliye aaj taak tumhara introduction as her son nahi deti woh... Such a pity... Na jane kisne ki tumhari parvarish....
Ra : (Roaring. It got echoed) CHUP...... EK DUM SE CHUP....(he held her hand and pinned her against the car.) DON'T, DON'T TEST MY PATIENCE.... BARBAD KAR DUNGA TUJHE MAIN....
Pa : choro mujhe you cheap...Jaya aunty keh bete nahi.... Galti ho tum... Galti...

Now, that was enough for him. He was keeping or atleast trying to keep his calm. But her words broke the last string of patience in him. Next he did something none of them were ready for. Raghav Rao KISSES Pallavi Deshmukh. No,not at all in a romantic way. He was smooching the life out of her bitting her lips. Pallavi was too shocked to react. But when he bit her lips,she came back to sence,she was trying to push and detach from. But,who was she fooling. Raghav was strong and his anger was making him put in all his strength on her. Raghav was taking all anger out with the smooch. He held Pallavi's hand tightly so she can't hit him or push him. He forced his tongue inside her mouth by pinching her waist. He was smooching her throughly. Once done,he left her moving a bit away and was looking at the distorted condition of Pallavi. A smirk played on his lips. He was satisfied now. Pallavi was bewildered. She stood blankly.

Ra : Ghar jao Pallavi... Raat ho gaya (acting innocent)
Pa : No..(blabbering to herself) no...(she ran. She was looking puzzled. She just ran way).
Ra : Raghav Rao seh koi nahi jit sakta Ardham aindi!

He rode his car and left. On the other hand, Pallavi entered home all bewildered and in a devastates state. Sardha was waiting for her. Seeing Pallavi in such a state, Sardha became shocked.

Sa : Pallu, beta kya hua. Tu aise ish halath mei kyu hai. Koi accident hua hai kya? 
Pa : (Not showing any emotions), Ayi...Mai kamre mei ja rahi hu (She's walking like a statue)
Sa : (She got worried looking at Pallavi's situation) Beta, kya hua, kuch toh bol? (Pallavi stood stiff like a statue) Acha, thik hai, khana toh kha le. 
Pa : Nahi Ayi, mujhe bhook nahi hai. (She just walked away)
Sa : Ruko(noticing something) Beta, tera pao seh khun nikal raha hai...tera toh forhead pe bhi scratch hai..... (getting worried) Sach bol Pallu kya hua hai.... 
Pa : Mai rest lene ja rahi hu Ayi... 
Sa : Beta paar 

Pallavi just walked away, entered her room and closed the door 

Jhootha jag rain basera
Saancha dard mera
Mrig-trishna sa moh piya
Naata mera tera

Pallavi walked inside the washroom closed the door and turned on the shower and sat under the shower

Naina.. jo saanjhe khwab dekhte the
Naina.. bichad ke aaj ro diye hain yun
Naina.. jo milke raat jaagte the
Naina.. sehar mein palken meechte hain yun

Pallavi closed her eyes and the flashback of the kiss incident came to her mind. She suddenly opened her eyes and stood in front of the mirror. 

Juda huye kadam
Jinhone li thi ye kasam
Milke chalenge hardum
Ab baant'te hain ye gham
Bheege naina.. jo khidkhiyon se jhankte the
Naina.. ghutan mein band ho gaye hai yun

Memories of her time spend with Deshmukhs came to her mind. 
She rubbed her lips profusely as if trying to remove the Raghav's marks. She started crying incoherently while doing this. But her lips didn't even spare a word. As if she has lost her power of speaking.

Saans hairaan hai
Mann pareshaan hai
Ho rahi si kyun ruaansa ye meri jaan hai

Here in Rao mansion, Raghav entered and closed his doors. He started hitting his punching bag in frustration. He closed his eyes and everytime, the kiss and Pallavi's blank face came in  front of him. He screamed in frustation

Kyun nirasha se hai
Aas haari huyi
Kyun sawaalon ka utha sa
Dil mein toofaan hai

Jaya and Keerthi were in the hall and hearing Raghav's scream rushed to see him. Unfortunately, Farhad stopped them stating his Anna preferred to be alone when angry. Keerthi left, but Jaya looked at Raghav's room with sadness

Naina.. thhe aasmaan ke sitaare
Naina.. grahan mein aaj toot'te hain yun
Naina.. kabhi jo dhoop senkte thhe
Naina.. thehar ke chhaaon dhoondhte hain yun

Sardha was standing in front of Pallavi's room and heard the sound of shower and was worried exactly what happened to her Pallu. 

The screen divides into 4. Both Jaya and Sardha are unable to understand the reason of their children's anger and pain. 

Raghav and Pallavi both are in a complicated situation. Raghav, he is trying to forget what Pallavi said about he being a mistake .. the kiss everything

Pallavi.... She changed and stood in front of the window still silent without any expression.

Juda huye kadam
Jinhone li thi ye kasam
Milke chalenge hardum
Ab baant'te hain ye gham
Bheege naina.. jo sanjhe khwab dekhte the
Naina.. bichhad ke aaj ro diye hain yun

Her eyes are still shedding tears probably her vision is by now blurred.

Saradha couldn't hold it any longer... She knocked Pallavi's room's door and called her.
Sa : Pallu beta please darwaza khol... Teri Ayi ko bata na beta kya hua hai!(she's about to knock again,but Pallavi opened the door and what she saw made her heart sink).
