Around 6:30 a.m. 🕡, Armaan was splashing cold water on his face. He look like shit. Damn he was still in his nightsuit. Does he give a ***k about that? No! Is he gonna arrange for a change of clothes? No! The world can witness a messy Armaan Poddar, but he's in no mood to groom himself. He had drove at maximum speed last night to cover a distance of 951 km in 4 hours. A big damn! One wrong bump, would have ended his life. So Armaan has basically converted a 13 hour journey from Udaipur to Mussoorie to a mere 4 hours. He really needs to appreciate his Fufasa's level headedness as he's still driving at a sane speed. Just at the thought of Sanjay, Armaan's phone rang.
Armaan: Hello
Sanjay: Where are you at present? I've reached Mussoorie.
Armaan mentally striked out his Fufasa's level headedness.
Armaan: Don't you want to give priority to your client?
Sanjay: Yuvraj has left to Mumbai, a couple of hours ago. The minister wants to settle the issue in person. Is Akshara Sharma's daughter going to file FIR?
Armaan: No.
Sanjay: Where is she now?
Armaan: I don't know!
Sanjay: What?!
Armaan: You can go and assure your client.
Armaan cuts the call. Sanjay is done with everything right now. How come Akshara Sharma's daughter did not try to fight for justice. Definitely she might have ran away now to gather herself and strike back unexpectedly. Sanjay hit the steering wheel in anger and turned his car around to reach the Minister's house.
After the phone call, Armaan left for the hospital to do Akshara's last rites. He then headed to meet Mr. Pankaj.

8:00 a.m. 🕗
*At Poddar house*
The house was hustling and bustling with the last minute preparation for the Haldi ceremony. The absence of Sanjay and Armaan was found in a span of minutes. Kajal and Vidhya decided to call Sanjay and Armaan respectively. Sanjay picked up but Armaan didn't. Sanjay made an excuse of an urgent work at office as he didn't want to disclose his location to his wife.
Kaveri: *angrily* Jamaisa might have got struck in work. But there is no excuse for Armaan. He did not even have a proper excuse for leaving the house at an auspicious day.
At the exact moment, the Goenkas came into the Poddar house in folded hands. After they conveyed the issue. Vidhya fell down in shock. Manisha and kajal supported her. Rohit ran upstairs and locked himself inside his room. Kaveri angrily snatched Ruhi's letter and she was pissed off to eternity as she observed Ruhi's individual message to Armaan.
The Poddars then sent away the Goenkas after a nasty verbal spat. The family then got busy in knocking Rohit's door.
Rohit: Go away! I don't want to face anyone now!
Madhav: Let's give him some time to calm down.
Vidhya got pissed at Madhav's statement and started bashing him. Manoj and Manisha tried to intervene. Kajal sent Krish, Charu, Aryan and Kiara away to their rooms. Just as the cousins left, Kaveri came there angrily and concluded that Armaan knew about Ruhi's plan. This shocked everyone.
They spent the next few hours knocking Rohit's room door and calling Armaan simultaneously. Armaan was still grieving his teacher and was in no mood to talk with his family. He has concluded that Goenkas told about Ruhi to the Poddars. So Armaan has blocked all his family's numbers except Sanjay who was in Mussoorie. He also blocked all the notifications. He needs to have his full focus on the huge money transfer from selling the resort. His family really needs to give him a break. A broken marriage is way too small of a problem in his opinion than what Abhira went through.
