2 weeks passed, and things were going great.
Karan was so frustrated that he fired his old PA. Hence, he hired Krithika Puri, a girl of age 26 as his PA. Dyuti never liked Krithika and usually fights with Karan because of her.
"I am telling you, Karan! She is upto no good!" Dyuti said and Karan slammed the table.
"Enough, Dyuti! I am sick and tired of your constant accusations against Krithika. She is my employee, and I trust her. You need to learn to get along with her," Karan said firmly.
Dyuti huffed and crossed her arms, but didn't argue further. She knew Karan wouldn't budge once he had made up his mind. However, she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something off about Krithika.
Meanwhile, Karan and Krithika were working great together. Krithika was efficient, organized, and always one step ahead of Karan's needs. He couldn't believe how much easier his life had become with her as his PA.
One evening, as they were finishing up work, Krithika leaned in closer to Karan.
"Sir, I want to tell you something!" She whispered huskily.
"Krthika! Maintain a proper distance!" Karan said in his usual cold tone.
"I love you, sir! Leave your wife! She is not as good as me!" She said boldly, looking straight into Karan's eyes.
"Krithika, this is not appropriate. I am a married man!" Karan tried to reason with her, but his own voice sounded weak to his ears.
"But why stay trapped in a loveless marriage, sir? I can make you happier than she..."
"ENOUGH! NOT A WORD AGAINST MY WIFE!" Karan screeched, slammed the table hard.
Krithika then came closer to him and kissed him on his lips.
Karan felt disgusted but his eyes fell on the glass door.
Karan pushed Krithika away so hard.
"Dyuti! It's not what you think!" Karan said only to see his wife running away with tears in her eyes.
Karan felt his world crumble beneath him as he watched Dyuti run away from the office. He had never seen her so upset before. He looked at Krithika, who was now standing there with a smirk on her face.
"What have you done?!" Karan shouted at her.
Krithika shrugged. "I just told you how I felt, sir. It's not my fault if your wife can't handle the truth."
Karan couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had trusted Krithika, and she had betrayed him in the worst way possible.
"Ok! You know what! YOU ARE FIRED!" He spat and went behind his wife.
He knew that his marriage was in shambles now and that he had to do something to fix it.
He left the office and went home, hoping to talk to Dyuti. But she was nowhere to be found. He searched the entire house, but she wasn't there. He then checked his phone and saw that she had sent him a message.
"I can't do this anymore, Karan.I can't be with someone who cheats on me and disrespects our marriage. I need some time away to clear my head." The message read.
Karan felt a pang in his chest as he realized the gravity of what he had done. He had hurt the woman he loved, and he had himself to blame for it.
He called Meera to check with her whether she was her but Meera said she didn't know.

Meera gave a ticket to Dyuti before saying, "I hope you find the truth fast Dyuti!"
Dyuti nodded and smiled and went to the airport, She is travelling to London. Meera arranged a job for her in one of the companies.
As Dyuti boarded the plane, her heart ached. She was leaving the man who cheated on her for good. She leaving the past and trying to live a new life. Tears were flowing through her eyes continuously.
Dyuti wiped her tears and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and tried to picture her new life in London. It would be a fresh start, a chance to leave behind the pain and betrayal of her past relationship. She was grateful to Meera for giving her this opportunity and she was determined to make the best of it.
As the plane took off, Dyuti felt a sense of freedom wash over her. She opened her eyes and looked out of the window. The view was breathtaking, with the clouds stretching out as far as the eye could see. It was a new beginning, a chance to start over.
Dyuti arrived in London and started her new job. She worked hard and made new friends. She explored the city and fell in love with its history, architecture, and culture. She was happy, but there was always a part of her that felt incomplete. She missed the warmth of a loving relationship, the feeling of being cherished and valued.
One day, while she was working she felt dizzy. She took half day leave and walked out of the office. As she reached the crosswalk, she felt darkness surrounding, the sound becoming more and more less.
Dyuti opened her eyes and saw white ceiling.
"Where am I?" she asks.
"Miss, I am Prem Bhatt, You fainted in front of my car today, Can you call your husband please?" the man who looks like in his early 30s.
"We don't live together anymore!" Dyuti said simple and clean.
"What? But you are two months pregnant!" He said and her whole world came crashing down.
"I don't have my husband to support me! I don't have a family! How am I going to raise a child?" Dyuti said.
"I WILL ADOPT YOU!" A male voice echoed and both of them turned around.
"Um, This is Lokesh Bhatt, my father! Miss..." Prem said unsure about her name.
"Dyuti! Dyuti Kapoor!" She continues
"Ok! So, if my father wants to adopt you, then you are my sister, you don't need to worry about work! We will help you in every way we can." Prem said with a warm smile.
Dyuti nodded and asked if she could have some time to pack her bags.
With that, Dyuti was set to set foot on a journey. A journey to find the truth and beliefs.
