"Main kuch samjha nahi!",
says Vikram.
"Magar main sub kuch samjh rahi hoon.",
says Nitya, glaring at infinity.
Nitya wipes off her tears and says,
"Vikram, tum... tum chaho to yahan ruk sakte ho. Vivaan ke saath uske kamre mein so sakte ho."
That flutters Vikram's heart.
"Kya! Main... main... yahan ruk sakta hoon?",
he asks, unable to believe.
Nitya looks towards him and nods her head, smiling.
"Apne... apne bete ke paa...s...??",
asks Vikram.
Nitya's eyes well up and she nods her head.
"Tha...nk... thank you Nitya... Thank you so...",
Vikram opens his arms to hug her but stops abruptly. Blood drains out of Vikram's face. Nitya's heart skips a beat too. She looks away hesitantly. Vikram too looks away briefly before slowly looking back towards her. His face still flushed.
"Bohot der ho chuki hai, I think... I think humein so jaana chahiye.",
suggests Nitya, avoiding looking towards Vikram.
Vikram nods his head, feeling awkward.
Taking a deep breath, Nitya leaves for her room.
Vikram stares towards the retreating figure of Nitya.

Vikram after spending some more quality time with Vivaan pats him to sleep. Himself laying next to him.
Meanwhile in her room Nitya walks to and fro in frustration and anger, remembering eveything that had happened in the past. She shakes her head in slow motion every now and then; her brows tightly knit. Her arms folded and rested against her abdominal. Her speed of walk - quick.
"Main kaise nahi dekh payi pehle? Kaise mujhse ye chook ho gayi!",
Nitya blames herself.
"Seema ki nazar pehle se hi Vikram par thi!",
she realises.
"Bahane banakar wo ghar par aati rehti thi!",
remembers Nitya.
She slaps her forehead in anger and says,
"Aur main bewakoof samjhti thi ke usey meri fikr hai isliye aati hai baar-baar milne!"
"God! Kaise? Kaise mujhse aisi galti hui?",
she couldn't help but blame herself over and over.
Stopping, determined, she says,
"Magar koi baat nahi. Der se hi sahi, tumhe apna gunaah kuboolna hoga Seema! Kuboolna hoga!"
She creases her brows further.

Next morning Sujal and Kashish were having their breakfast in their room when Sujal asks her, almost like reminds her,
