Abhimanyu sat outside the hospital, his mind filled with thoughts of Akshara. He dialed her number, hoping to hear her voice. Meanwhile, Akshara was surprised to receive a call from an unknown number, only to discover it was Abhimanyu. Their conversation flowed as they shared their beliefs and feelings, each unable to shake the thoughts of the other from their mind.

Abhimanyu: Hello, Kya kar rahi ho?

Akshara: Tum? How did you get my number?

Abhimanyu: I took it from Neel.

Akshara: Oh!

Abhimanyu: By the way, what are you doing?

Akshara: I am applying my homemade  oil on my hair.

Abhimanyu: You like home remedies, don't you?

Akshara: Yes, I like it a lot. And, I also believe that there are a lot of things that we can cure with home remedies without taking medicines. There is no need for prescription every time.

Abhimanyu: Yes, some things can be cured, but not mine.

Akshara: Why?

Abhimanyu: I don't know why, but ever since I have come here, I miss someone a lot. I neither get sleep nor peace. I miss someone a lot.

Akshara: Who is she?

Abhimanyu: I don't know who she is, but whoever she is, she is very close to my heart. Aur ab toh woh hi mera maraz  aur dawa hai.

[They continue talking for a while before bidding each other good night.]

Akshara lying on her bed was thinking about their conversation.

Akshara: (to herself) About whom was he talking? Who took his peace and sleep? Why am I even thinking about it? It must be someone special to him. Miss Akshara Karthik Goenka, leave all these things. Right now you have to focus on your music, only on your singing, no distraction.

[She covers her face with the blanket and goes to sleep.]

After she went to sleep, Krishna came into her room while saying.

Krishna: (whispering) Akshu, I want to tell you something. (noticing Akshara asleep) It's okay. Tomorrow I will tell you everything. So, you will be surprised tomorrow.

[She kisses Akshara's forehead and covers her with the blanket before leaving the room. Outside, she meets Kartik and Naira.]

Kartik: What happened? What is Akshu doing?

Krishna: She is sleeping Papa.

Naira: Okay! Now you also go and she it's very late now.

[Krishna goes to her room and Kartik speaks to Naira about Krishna.]

Kartik: Krishna loves Akshu a lot. Wow! I wish Krishna was our Kaira, Akshara's elder sister.

Naira: You're right, Kartik. If our Kaira  was alive, she would have been like Krishna.

[They both head to their room and go to sleep.]
