The case was over, and Dev was impressed with Abhira and was ready to give a promotion to Abhria, but Abhira requested that he find another intern. She asked if he wanted to help her, try to help her find another position, in Somnath if he could, as she was leaving town to move there.

Luckily, Dev had a friend that had a firm there, and he made a quick phone call and was able to get Abhira in. He did let Abhira know that there would always be an opening in his office for her.

When Abhira arrived at the Poddar House, she saw everyone, including the Geonka's celebrating in the hall, and she quietly went upstairs to Armaan's room. She started to pack her stuff.

While she was upstairs, Charu came running into the hall.

"Charu, what's wrong?" asked Armaan.

"It's all my fault. I'm sorry, Bhai. Please stop Bhabi. I am so sorry. I thought I was helping. I didn't know that you would blame Bhabi. Please stop her." cried Charu

"What are you talking about?" aske Armaan confused.

"I was the one who took the papers. Not Abhira Bhabi. I'm sorry, Bhai." cried Charu, shocking everyone. "And another thing, Bhabi has left the internship at Dev sir's. She's leaving town. Please, Bhai, stop Bhabi."

"Where is she?" said a panicked Armaan

"She already came home. Dev sir was able to get her an internship in Somnath." answered Charu. Armaan rushed upstairs to see if Abhira came upstairs without him noticing. Abhira was finished packing and ready to leave.

Armaan was trying to apologize to Abhira, yet Abhira wasn't listening to Armaan. Abhira was trying to take her suitcase out of their room. Abhira was finally able to leave Armaan's room and leave with Armaan following her, trying to change her mind.

"Enough! Armaan! I don't want to talk. I don't care for your apology, nor do I care to stay here. You called me a thief, correct? Let's leave at that. Let's pretend that you have already helped your mentor's daughter. You have been released from your promise. I promise you I will never think to look backward. Congratulations, I will never treat you as my family, nor will I ever think of your family as mine. As far as I am concerned, you and your family are strangers to me." said Abhira

Armaan was trying to stop her. "Abhira, please. Don't go. I promise. I will do anything, please don't go. I am sorry."

"Why would I stay? Where I am insulted? Where is my upbringing questioned? Where I am told that I don't belong in a family? Fine, I agree to them all. Why would you want a person like me living here. So it is better if I leave." stated Abhira

She was greeted by the whole family, and she froze. "Ladki, where do you think you are going?" said Dadisa.

"Um, I am leaving the house?" Abhria said it like a question?

"What do you mean? What's going on?" said Vidya

"Um, I am leaving the house?" Said Abhira again like a question

"Abhira is not leaving the house. She is not leaving me!" said Armaan.

"You raised questions on my upbringing on my character. It is better that I go away." said Abhira

"Sorry, Bhabi, I was the one that took those papers," said Charu, shocking everyone.

"It's ok. It worked out well in the end. I found out what the family thought of me. Doesn't matter anymore." said Abhira.

"Chachasa and Manisha Chachi, you two are the sweetest, I've only known my mother as my family. You two showed me the love that can be between a husband and wife. It's nice to see, and it's very rare. Never change."
