Amaya was silent as she followed Mantu. She understood that he heard everything but thanked God that he didn't came in front as then it would have been impossible to control his anger or Nanaji’s wrath.
Mantu entered her room and so does Amaya and Mantu closed and latched the gate. He leaned against the door as he tried to control his emotions. It was too much for him. His confidence was dripping down with his tears. He was trying his level best but Chaubeyji words was hurting him, hurting him to the core.
Amaya pressed his shoulder as she hugged his back tightly. She spread her hands in his chest to soothe him. "Mantu...", said Amaya softly as she kissed his back. "Amaya do I really deserve you?", said Mantu after a long pause. Amaya was surprised by his question. "What does you mean by that? Of course. There is no doubt in it Mantu.", said Amaya as she turned him to face her. His eyes were red, tears were all over his face. "Mantu...its nothing with you. The problem is Nanaji’s ego. Stop crying.", said Amaya as she lovingly removed her tears and cupped his face.
"No, the problem is with me Amaya.", said Mantu as he brushed away her hands. "Look at yourself Amaya. You are Rishi Mathur's daughter. Gajanand Chaubey’s natin. You itself are such a big name. You have earned so much. I stand nothing in front of you. He would obviously reject me." "Have you gone mad Mantu. Remember you only told me that happiness can't be brought by money. And you make me happy Mantu, your love does. Why are you saying such things?", said Amaya as she held his hand.
"But after a period of time you need money Amaya. This is the truth...a…a very bitter truth. I think we are just thinking which is not possible. Its far from reality. And there is no use of my love and care if I'll never be able to give you what you need. Its impossible.", said Mantu as his heart broke into several million pieces. Amaya was about to say something when he said, "Yes I was the one who said that I can't bear to lose you. Yes I'm the only one who said that I love you. And today I am the only one who is saying that we should accept our reality. And our reality is that we can't be together." And with that, he went away.
Amaya slipped to the ground as she couldn't fathom what just happened. Everything was perfect until morning. Until Chaubeyji ruined it. These two days were heaven for her and now again this hell. Someone called Amaya as she got up slowly and removed her tears and went downstairs. Jazz called her to apply haldi on Rachita. Amaya gave a slight nod as she took haldi from the plate and applied on Rachita. Rachita saw her sister's dead face as she whispered, "What happened Amaya." Amaya replied, "Everything is finished di..."
There, Mantu reached his house to change his clothes to go to Rama's house. His condition was worse. He was continuously recalling Amaya. His mind was continuously diverting him towards her. He banged his door as he cried. Masi and Uma understood and knocked to grab this perfect opportunity. "Mantu?", said Uma as she tried to open the door.
"One second.", said Mantu as he removed his tears and removed his shirt. He saw a lipstick mark on the back which was Amaya's. He caressed the scar as he safely placed that shirt inside the cupboard. This shirt was now the only thing he had of Amaya's. He carefully placed it with that mala and Amaya's dress. He opened the gate and asked, "What happened Uma? Why are you disturbing me?" He avoided her gaze as he said that. "Are you okay Mantu?", asked Uma. "Arre, can't you see Uma he looks so upset. I told you na that firangan will break our Mantu's heart.", said Masi. "Masi I will not hear a word against Amaya do you get that. What do you need. Just tell me that.", said Mantu as he clenched his fists.
"Now what are your thoughts about marrying Uma, Mantu?", asked Masi. Mantu went quiet. He knew if he will be single Amaya will not give up. He needs to say yes so that Amaya can move on ahead, so that she doesn't feel guilty. So that she can find a better guy. "Okay, I'll marry Uma.", said Mantu as he closed his eyes and saw Amaya.
