Context:- It's been six months since Ishqi broke her marriage with Mayank but this time Ahaan didn't destroy her or promised himself that he will always hate her. Why?? Even Ahaan doesn't know the answer to it. For the first time in his life he followed his heart, he listened to his heart. It was his instincts that told his that what Ishqi was right. Maybe in everyone else's point if view she was wrong but he knew deep down that Ishqi is not that selfish or shallow to break her marriage just because she loves someone else. He knew she won't break many people's heart just to listen to hers. Ahaan trusted Ishqi, even though Ishqi didn't tell him the reason behind her sudden actions, yet he knew she was right...
On the other hand Ishqi was just confused with her feelings. She had a lot of things going on in her life. She knew if she made a decision right now then she might regret it later. She didn't wanted to hurry so she did the first thing that came in her mind...and what's that, she left the resort just the next day of breaking marriage with Mayank. Ahaan tried searching her the next day but all he found was a note which said...
"Mujhe pata hai maine jo kiya woh galat tha par trust me jab aapko mere action ke peeche ke reason pata chalenge tab aap bhi mujhe support karenge. Ho sake toh mujhe maaf kardena"
That was all that the letter said. All Ahaan could do now was to miss her. He tried calling her numerous times but every time it said that he dialing a wrong number. Ahaan was really dishearted by her behavior not because she broke her marriage with his best friend but because she left...she left him all alone...
In these six months nothing really changed with Ahaan it was just that Dadi fixed Ahaan's marriage with Rhea. After many failed attempts of convincing Dadi, she was not ready to understand. Ahaan soon just gave up, he felt like the only thing he had...Ishqi...his Ishqi had already left him. It didn't matter now if there was anyone else who cared about him, the only one who truly cared about him in now far away from him. Kartik was taken aback by seeing Ahaan's condition, his heart broke when he saw how heartbroken his brother is but even he couldn't do anything...
Meanwhile with Ishqi...she lost her everything in these six months but not because of Ahaan but because of her Massa. She and Massi had to go back to her Massa's house. He was really mad that Ishqi broke her marriage so he used to beat Massi way more than before and sometimes even Ishqi. One day when Ishqi was at her office he bet her so bad that because of excessive blood loss Massi passed away. This news broke everything in Ishqi, she lost her Mom, her dad, her only family she had. She was all alone in this world. Ishqi had no courage or energy to punish Massa so she just quietly left the house with her stuff. She used to cry soo much at nights that now her eyes were so dry that not even one tear fell from them...
Ishqi is currently working in an event managing company while she was living in an old apartment. She was not financially stable yet so she had to live in an old cranky apartment. Ishqi forgot to smile in these six months. She felt lost and alone. There were times when Ishqi would just forget eating anything or even drink water. She was getting weak day by day and the will of living life was also decreasing...
Ishqi would usually wake as early as possible and then leave for her office soon. She would engross herself in her work and most of the times she would work overtime just to keep her mind busy so that she wouldn't overthink. She would plaster a fake smile when she was in her office so that no one would get any doubt about her past. There were times when Ishqi would get a question, what is Ahaan doing right now? This question kept bugging Ishqi but after Massi's death, she just felt lost. Her heart always felt that Ahaan too loved her but her mind was against her heart. Her mind always thought that Ahaan never really cared about her, he must be happily living with Rhea and almost would've forget that there was once a girl called Ishqi... Because of this impression Ishqi most of the time felt alone...
Meanwhile, Sonu tried her level best to tell her brothers and husband about what Mayank did to her but she was unable to do so. Every time she tried to tell anything to Raj something would happen and she won't be able to tell anything. Sonu was also really worried about Ishqi. Sonu tried messaging her but had no reply...
•Now let's start the story now...
It was a peaceful morning in Malhotra mansion. Everyone were having breakfast when Rhea entered the house. She firstly touched Dadi's feet and then side hugged Ahaan, to which Ahaan barely reciprocated...
Rhea- Ahaan aaj hame event managing company mein jaana hai, hamari shaadi ke liye ek accha weeding planner chahiye...
Ahaan- Rhea main aaj bohot busy hu
Dadi- oye kya nahi jayega, tu zarur jayega...
Ahaan- par Dadi...
Dadi- main par var kuch nahi sunungi Ahaan, ek mahina hogaya teri shaadi fix karke. Ek mahine se tu bol raha hai busy hu busy hu ab main kuch nahi sunungi. Tu aaj Rhea ke saath jaa raha hai...
Meanwhile with Ishqi...
She woke up and got ready. She had no energy to have breakfast, now-a-days she usually skipped breakfast. Ishqi got ready and wore her formal clothes and put her fake happy face on and then immediately left for office. She usually had lunch just because she didn't wanted her colleagues to know about her situation...
Ishqi reached her office and immediately started working. She was not the bubbly extrovert girl anymore. She did talk when someone asked her something or just started a conversation but she would never start a conversation herself. Everyone in her office just thinks that Ishqi is a shy and extrovert girl...
Ishqi was quietly working when her boss called her...
Boss- Ishqi aaj hamare yaha Delhi ke bohit bade businessman aane wale hai, unhe ek wedding planner chahiye aur best chahiye. Hamare yaha toh best tum hi ho issliye tum hamare uss client ko attend karogi...
Ishqi- ok sir...
