The story begins after the anniversary fallout, Samrat returning home, The café scene, and the night after the café scene with Sairat's nok-jhok.

Virat went to sleep after their bantering while Sai stayed up. It was still bothering her. Why were they holding hands, why was Pakhi didi crying, why did Virat sir have to console her, why wouldn't he tell Sai anything.

Sai (in her mind): Sai tum ye sab ke baare mein kyu soch rahi hai, jab tumhe jawaab jaante hai. Virat sir, Pakhi didi se p-pyaar karte hai, is liye unhone mila tha café mein aur haath padka tha.

(Sai why are you thinking about all of this when you know the answer. Virat sir loves Pakhi didi, that's why they met in the café and were holding hands)

Her own thoughts hurt her, and she couldn't understand why. She knew that Virat said everything with him and Pakhi was in the past...but she thought that just meant whatever relationship they had. To her it didn't mean that Virat didn't still love Pakhi, and seeing them holding hands in the café and Virat refusing to tell her more, just reassured her that she was right. And the thought of it bothered her.

The next day

The next day they had dahi handi.

{Shiva-Jeeva reunion remains the same}

After the dahi handi, Chavan parivaar had lunch together and spent the day with each other as Virat had to leave the next day.

Sai and Virat didn't even talk that night. Virat packed his things while Sai tried to study, and then they both went to bed. However, this time Sai didn't build her pillow bridge.

Virat leaves

That morning everyone said their goodbyes to Virat as he left to go for his transfer. Sai tried her best to be normal but him leaving was bothering her, a lot more than she was willing to accept. She just tried to bury those feelings and convinced herself it was only because she was used to having him around, that's why him leaving made her upset.

After he left, she left for college. For the whole day he kept running across her mind, no matter how hard she tried not to think about him.

Sai (in her mind): Virat sir abhi tak paunch gaya hoga ya nahi? Mujhe ye bhi nahi pata ki vo kaha ja raha hai. (She thought worriedly)

(Would Virat sir have reached yet or not? I don't even know where he is going)

She checked her phone for like the 100th time to see if there was any message from him...but there was none.

She then remembered the change in his behavior over the past few days. He was barely talking to her, ignoring her, being distant and cold.

Sai (in her mind): Agar vo mujhe call ya message nahi kare to? (She felt a little hurt)

(What if he doesn't call or message me?)

New City

Virat arrived in the new city a few hours after leaving Nagpur. He called Aai to let her know he arrived, and then he filled out all the formalities to start his duty there. He also went to the flat he was given, where he was going to be staying for the next few months.

No matter how hard he tried he couldn't get Sai out of his mind. He was wondering if he should call her.

Virat (in his mind): Call karu kya?

(Should I call her?)

Virat (in his mind): Nahi yaar. Agar main call karu to ye doori kaise banaye rakhenge? (Virat scolded himself)
