Sanjay tried his best to focus on the road but his past knocked the doors of his conscience. Sanjay knew Akshara Sharma, from the days when he was a trainee. Sanjay has seen a heavily pregnant Akshara voicing out for justice. Curiosity has got the better of him and he has tried to associate with her. Together they have formed a group of new practicing Advocates and vowed to stand with the right. But Power was really addicting. Ask Sanjay, he'll nod a big Yes. Their constant success brought them to a limelight. Soon the former Poddar Patriarch (Late Dadasa) noted them and came with an offer to join their firm. Akshara took only few seconds to decline the offer, as she wants to be available to the poor and needy. But Sanjay, immediately took the offer. Though Akshara did not blame him for accepting the offer, their little group was slowly dissolved. Their paths never crossed save for Armaan chirping now and then about his amazing teacher.
Armaan, his nephew by law is a talented one, even better than Sanjay. But Sanjay would never admit this to the world. Sanjay could not bring himself to accept that he was quite jealous of Armaan's fame. Sanjay's car bumped in the speed braker on the road. No! not now. He needs his attention on driving. He can dwell on his inner dilemmas later. Sanjay sighed.
*At Mussoorie Resort*
Armaan has completed the formalities online for selling the resort. Now he has to wait till the register office to open for finalizing the documents. Armaan has contacted Mr. Pankaj, in these late hours of night. But Mr. Pankaj was a good man. He offered his condolences, and even doubled the amount for the resort. Armaan tried to keep the bid value reasonable, but Mr. Pankaj wanted to secure Abhira's future as he has seen that bubbly girl grow up. So Mr. Pankaj won the argument. Armaan appreciated his kindness.
Armaan quickly closed his laptop and glanced at the time, 3.00 am. He does have a few more hours before sunrise. He went in search of Abhira for conveying the information. His efforts went in vain as he only found a letter instead of Abhira. Armaan became as white as a ghost.

Abhira's letter.
Armaan, I'm really very sorry for running away like this. But you've no idea how much my stalker Yuvraj can go to any extent to harm anyone. He ran over the man, who tried to help me. I even lost my Mumma to him. I'm not ready to have the blood of one more person on my hands. So I'm running away now, to become the lawyer my mother and I dreamt of. I'm a misfortunate woman to lose the opportunity of doing last rites of my mother. But I'll wash this misfortune away by throwing Yuvraj behind bars. No Advocate will be ready to go against a Minister's son. But, I'll make him pay. I'll complete my studies and I'll give Justice to my mother and whoever Yuvraj has wronged in his life. Thank you so much for helping me in selling the resort and I've left my account details for depositing the amount. I promise not to dump any more responsibilities on you. But please be there with my mother in her last journey. Also please don't try to track me down from my account details, the more you stay away from me, is the best for you. Thank you so much for everything.

Armaan sat down in shock. He'll definitely track Abhira down. Tracking down someone's location with their account details is easy. And Armaan is an Advocate. What was Abhira even thinking before running away? But the lawyer in Armaan reminded him that Abhira going away from Mussoorie as fast as she could is good for her. That monster, Yuvraj is still roaming freely.
*At Mussoorie's railway station*
Ruhi was taunting herself. What the hell was she thinking? Yes she wanted to explore Mussoorie some more. Because the last time, she was busy with Armaan and could not concentrate on anything else. But what if? The Poddars decide to bring Rohit here to cheer him up. When both the Goenkas and Poddars visited Mussoorie individually but at the same time, Rohit was not with them. Though the probability is low, Ruhi did not want to take a chance. So here, Ruhi was sulking in the Railway station awaiting the next train to go somewhere else. The train was due to arrive in half an hour. Just then Ruhi saw a girl coming running to the station. That girl was clearly disturbed and she's panicking. Ruhi sensed that something was wrong. Is someone trying to harm the girl? Ruhi quickly fetched her new water bottle which she bought in the shop and went near the girl.
Ruhi: Here! Drink this.
Abhira was startled by the new voice. Abhira did not realise being approached by someone, as she was busy catching her breath. But when she looked up the stranger offering water to her.
Abhira: I need to catch the next train. Do you know the timing?
Ruhi: Yes, it is going to arrive in half an hour. I've not opened the bottle, so take this before going to the ticket counter. Also are you alright? Is there any trouble?
Abhira smiled at the kind stranger.
Abhira: Thank you so much sister. And no there's no trouble. I was just panicking about missing the train.
Ruhi smiled back and extended her arms for a handshake.
Ruhi: I'm Ruhi. I'm also waiting for that train.
Abhira shook Ruhi's hand.
Abhira: Hi, I'm Abhira! Your new travel companion.
