Ruhana learns that she’s pregnant and she also learns that Vineet has gone through physical and sexual abuse. She thinks of giving him a chance as he’s gone through the pain that he’s given her and has given to the girls in the past. All that Ruhana wants is to let him realise his bad deeds and help him become a gentleman.

She never wanted to be prey to a beast. She only wanted a nice job but her fate had other plans. She only wanted some accommodation but that decision of staying in his house ruined her life. She’s now pregnant and she hates the man to whom the child belongs. She’s crying but knowing his reality, she wants to give him a chance.

*****
The same night, her decision is proven wrong when Vineet again tries to molest her, forcing himself upon her. She manages to hit on his groin letting his grip lose on herself and then slaps him multiple times. She shouts at him and slaps him until he falls unconscious. She then leaves the house with Jyoti.

*****
They run away and stopped nearby Rainbow Hotel.  Ruhana is out of breath and Jyoti gets a water bottle for her. She drinks up the water and then Jyoti looks at her.

“What are we going to do now?” Jyoti asks, clueless about the happenings.

“We will figure it out, Jyoti

“We will figure it out, Jyoti. Don’t worry. He will not reach us. Things will be fine now.” Ruhana says.

“We don’t have much money. How will we manage?” Jyoti is clueless.

“I have some money. We can take a room for 2 days in a hotel. And until then I will figure out what I can do?” Ruhana says while looking at Jyoti.

Jyoti is perplexed but agrees with her. They enter Hotel Rainbow, and Ruhana books a room and they get the key. Ruhana makes the payment as well and books the room for two days. Taking the keys, Jyoti and Ruhana move into the room. They lock the door of the room and they sit on the bed, taking a deep breath. Jyoti fills the glasses with water and gives one to Ruhana. They drink the water and sit still at the moment. Jyoti looks at her.

“I never thought that we will be out of that hell.” Jyoti says softly.

“We ought to, Jyoti. Because he’s not worth the explanation. I thought that he might change, but he won’t. And…” Ruhana says softly and keeps her hand on her belly.
