Rahul:

Oh God! Have I gone mad? Why'd I do it? I'm only troubling her! But what do I do? I can't stay away from her now! And neither I can go infront of her! I'm a coward. How can I face her after what I did to her. She'll never forgive me. I had betrayed her three years ago! No! I just can't. I'll never face her. I'm dead for this world as well as for her.
I wiped my tears and sat silently. My phone rang and it displayed Dad. "Hello? Yes dad" I spoke with a husky voice.
"What are you doing Rahul? Did you meet her?" I couldn't say anything for a moment. I didn't know what to answer. "I....umm..no dad actually I was not feeling very well so I've postponed it." I tried to make an excuse.
"Please don't lie to me. You know I know everything. But its ok. Take it easy. I know you're hesitant to face her.. but Rahul, have you forgotten who is she? She's your Love Rahul! She loves you. And she misses you like crazy. She may react strange to see you after these many years and it is natural and its comprehensible. But sooner or later she'll be beyond happy to see that you're alive. Believe me Rahul she doesn't hate you. She's incomplete without you. She needs you. Read some articles about her on internet and most of them subjects to her depression. It says that she hides it too well to be seen but her fans feels that she's not herself after you separated with her. She doesn't goes to parties and just focus on her work. She never talks about her personal life in interviews. She rejected several movie offers because she didn't want to be on camera."
By this time..I was crying incessantly. Knowing how miserable I made her life was heartbreaking to me. Dad seemed to knew what I was feeling. He started again," see Rahul, I'm not telling you all this to make you feel guilty. I'll not even console you saying you're not responsible for this but the situation demanded that and what ought to happen, happened. It was a bad timing. But life has given you a second chance. Life is not that fair to everyone, but maybe you were special. Don't waste this golden opportunity. Let's make everything right again. Go to her. Tell her you were sorry and never ever going to leave her again. Go my son. Go!" I was feeling mixed emotions. I knew dad was right. But still, the courage I needed to face her was falling short. I was angry with myself to turn my back towards her three years ago.

Three Years ago:

"Hello? Dad?"
"Rahul?" I could hear him sobbing on the other side of the call.
"Rahul is that you? Is that really you? How come you're contacting me now?  You were alive and...."
"I'm sorry Dad. I'm really sorry. I know I should have reached out to you sooner but I had lost my memory. And as soon as I regained my memory I remembered your number and called you." I explained myself. "I missed you dad" .
"I missed you too beta. I can't even tell how happy I am to hear your voice after such a long time." I could feel his excitement over the phone.
"where are you? Tell me the address. I'm coming over right now. And who you were with all this time?"
"Dad ..I was found unconscious at a sea shore at here Ratnagiri. A doctor saved me. All this time he has looked after me. He's just like you dad" I looked at the doctor and tears filled my eyes. I handed over the phone to him.
"Hello, this is Dr. Rane. I've been treating your son since a few months now" the doctor introduced himself to my dad.  "Hello doctor. I'm ...uh you know already. I'm actually very grateful for your kindness. You're a God for us. I could feel my dad's eyes glittering.
"Oh no Mr. Jaykar. Please don't say that. I'm just a human and worked according to humanity. And also, Rahul is a very nice kid. He didn't trouble me even a bit. He is just like my son who is no more with me. I couldn't save him but I'm glad that I was able to save your son. Here, talk to him". I looked at him astonished. He had never told me that. Niw I knew why hus embrace was filled with so much love and warm. He missed his son. Whenever he looked at me he was reminded of his son as I was reminded of my dad. He handed the phone over to me. "Yes dad." I answered.
"Rahul, immediately send me the address where you've been staying. I will come pick you up myself so that no media person can see you. Otherwise it'd become a big controversy." 
"Dad, i'd love to meet you. B...but..I've to.. meet her first." I hesitated while explaining to him. He didn't speak for a while. "I understand" I was shocked that he agreed. "But" here we go.. "I'll come there first. Do not move anywhere from there until I arrive and then we'll talk about this" yes, it was comprehensible. I agreed.

After my dad arrived, we hugged each other for a long time.  After all, it was after six months. We talked a lot and I constantly apologized to him. We agreed that I'll go see Aarohi, but deep down I knew I couldn't do it so I decided I'll just watch her from afar.

Malhotra Studio:

She got out of the car. But her smile, why was it so dim? Damn, it's because of me. Why did I do that to her. She's meeting people but not looking them at eyes. She looks so depressed! I wish I could just die. I couldn't see her like that. She went in the studio. I couldn't go in as the guards stopped me. Though I disguised myself as a worker but only VIPs were allowed inside the studio. I waited for her outside. She came out after almost three hours. She looks extremely tired. I was about to follow her but I saw a white car following behind her. I think a girl was in the  car who looked extremely furious. I  wanted to go after them but my body didn't support me. I lost consciousness. I was about to fall on the floor but my dad came and held onto me. After that, everything became dark.
