Arjun Walk into the penthouse with ridhima in his arms. She slept during the drive. Arvind lead them to a room, a doctor was waiting for them already. Arvind motion arjun to lay ridhima on bed. They both Walk out of the room since the doctor asked them to give them privacy. They wait patiently for the doctor, after a few minutes the doctor comes out from the room.

" There is nothing serious. Just hand marks, robe marks. The bottle she broke scratched her palms deeply. I gave her Tetanus Toxoid injection, you don't need to worry about anything. I prescribed a few medicine please follow them and let me know if  she cries in her sleep. We'll check if the incident haunting her, if yes we need to approach my friend who can help her come out from this. I hope that's it. I'll take my leave now. Please call me if you have any queries. "

They Walk into the room saw ridhima sleeping peacefully, arjun sat beside her stroke her hair before placing a tender kiss on forehead. Arvind cleared his throat to get his attention

" You can take a rest if you want. You can sleep here or in the room next to this. " Arjun nodded without looking at him. Arvind sighs and walks out closing the door behind. Arjun saw the retracting figure his heart dread with fear, he wants to push the time as much as he can. At least he needs ridhima besides him to hold him when he faces the reality. He lay down beside her. His body felt weak his eyes brimming tears,.

" Please wake up baby girl. I need you!" He choked hide his face into her neck.

Sanjay came to the penthouse after hearing what happened. He was glad arjun and ridhima are safe now and he knows his friend needs him the most now.

Ridhima opens her eyes seeing her husband crying on her, she hugs him and let him cry. She understood he needs time.

" I..I don't know what is happening baby..I ... Am scared to face it" he says making ridhima tighten her hold on him.

" Its okay arjun. Everything is fine. I'm with you " she assured. She kept stroking his hair until he stops crying, arjun look up at her once he calmed down.

" Thank you" he said kissing her forehead.

Arjun wipes his tears and help ridhima to sit down, he know now he's ready to face anything because his love is besides him.

" Do you want some water! " He asks. Arjun Walk out of the room when he didn't find the water in the room. He heard some voice from a room and followed, he gasps looking at the person with arvind.

When arjun was trying to figure out who helped him in the business all he got was the name Sanjay. He's not the person who helped him but he was someone related to the person who helped him. Now seeing arvind and Sanjay he understood it was arvind behind all these. Arvind was the one who helped him to get clients at first, he was the one who helped him to extend his business.

" You need to tell him everything. I'm sure he'll understand. " Sanjay assured his friend,

" I don't want to hurt him. "Arvind choked tears,

" And you think you can keep him in dark because he'll get hurt. Arjun is not a kid. He'll find it out and what if she change the whole thing. Can you see his hate towards you? Its better you tell the truth. ARJUN IS YOUR SON. He'll understand.... Arjun who was standing outside of the room opened the door harshly making them let know his presence, ridhima walks to him when he didn't return. She joined him sensing the tension in the air while arvind and sajay look each other knowing he heard them.

Arvind was debating on how to start the conversation. Sensing his hesitation sajay started the conversation.

" Arjun... You..  " arjun didn't say anything he Walk past them looking at the photo frame. It was a picture of arvind, Sanjay and his father rithesh . They were smiling, he can see their bond in the picture. He gulps the saliva, he knew he has no choice.

With a trembling voice he said" please explain this! I w.. want to know. "

Flashback

Arvind , Sanjay and rithesh were schoolmates. They were from wealthy family.  They met swetha when they were 15. She become friend with them because of her nature. She's poor, an orphan , no one knows her while the whole town knows them.

Rithesh's father lost his business when he was 16. The people who befriend with him Till the time stopped talking to him after that while swetha treated him well than before. This nature of her attracted arvind.

Swetha was the only girl in their group. She was a soft spoken girl, a girl always wants to do something for the orphan kids. She had a secret crush on Arvind but never said anything thinking she might lose his friendship as well but to her surprise arvind proposed her on her birthday.

Arvind helped her to Join the college, they studied together in a famous college in allahabad. Sanjay met his love deepa in college. Partha was deepa's friend so they become close to the gang after Sanjay proposed deepa.

arvind's family weren't fond of swetha knowing her background. But he was adamant to marry her after studies . no one knows about their relationship except Sanjay, rithesh and their families because they didn't want anyone call swetha in names when they're not around.

Partha fall for arvind not knowing he's already in relationship with swetha. Partha proposed arvind in his birthday party at home. Arvind called only his close friends for the party so except them no one knows this. Arvind said he's in relationship with swetha since their school days. Partha was shattered after hearing this but Soon she console herself and praised their pair. They breathed in relief thinking partha is not hurt and accepted their relationship.
