Armaan sits on the floor, his room a chaotic mess mirroring his shattered heart. His once tidy hair is now tangled and all messed up, his eyes swollen and red from endless tears. He clutches a picture of Abhira tightly in his trembling hands, his gaze fixated on her image, longing for her presence. The broken mirror reflects his inner turmoil. With his back against the bed, he feels the loneliness pressing down on him.

"Kyu? Ab....Abhira? Kyu muj...mujhe chod ka....kar chali gayi. Ek baar mujh....mujhe maafi maangne ka mauka de deti..... mai sab theek ka....kar deta. Kabh....kabhi tumhe khu....khud se door nahi karta. Sa....sabko lag....lagta hai tum mar....mar chuki ho.....par mere dil....dil kehta hai ki.....tum the...theek ho. Bilkul theek ho. Me...mera dil dhadak ra.... raha hai, meri saansein chal rah.....rahi hai matlab tumhe bhi kuch na....nahi hua hai. Tu....tum zinda ho. Kahi na kahi toh jaroor ho. Please mere pass vaapis aa jaao." He said.

He paused for a second and thought something, "Yaa....yaa phir kah...kahi tum sa....sach mein toh muj....mujhe chod kar ....kar toh nah...nahi chal....chali gayi na.... Main janta hoon, maine tum par vishwas nahi kiya tha. Maine tumhe galatfehmiyon mein uljha liya tha. Par ab mujhe samajh aa raha hai, tumne kabhi mera bharosa toda nahi. Tum mere liye kitni important thi, aur maine tumhe kabhi samjha hi nahi. Ab jab tum mere paas nahi ho, tab mujhe ehsaas ho raha hai ki tumhare bina meri zindagi adhoori hai. Main yeh nahi bardasht kar sakta ki tum mujhe chhod kar chali gayi ho. Shayad maine tumhe pehle samajhna chahiye tha. Ab bas, ab tum laut kar aao, please."

Here on the other side, Ruhi was sitting in her room crying her heart out. Her whole face was red due to heavy crying. The whole room was messed up.

Suddenly the door opened. She flinched and turned to see Kaveri standing there.

"Da... Dadi-sa " She stammered as her eyes met Kaveri's angry eyes.

Before Ruhi could say anything further, Kaveri came and slapped her tightly. He face fell to other side with her hand on her cheek. She looked up at her again with teary eyes.

"Tumhari himmat kese hui humare Rohit ko dhokha dene ki." Kaveri said angrily

Kaveri's anger flared, "Tumne hamare Rohit ka dil toda, uska vishwas toda. Usne tum par bharosa kiya tha, aur tumne uska saath chhod diya. Tumne uska dil todiya, Ruhi!"

Ruhi's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to Kaveri's words. "Dadi-sa, main... maine kuch galat nahi kiya. Main toh bas..."

"Bas kya Ruhi? Tumne uska dil toda, aur ab bas yahi keh rahi ho? Tumhe sharam aani chahiye apne kiye hue karamo par. Tumne ghar ko toda hai, Ruhi. Tumne sabko dhoka diya hai."

Ruhi tried to speak up, but Kaveri again interrupted, "Tum toh parayi thi lekin Armaan, Armaan toh apna tha na. Usne bhi tumhare aur uske rishte ke baare mein nahi bataya. Aur tumne, tumne Rohit se shaadi ke liye haa ki hi kyu jab tum Armaan se pyaar karti thi? Kyu uska dil tod diya? Kyu humesha Armaan aur Abhira ke beech mein aayi tum?"

"Daadi-sa, main sach much Armaan se pyaar karti hoon. Mai use Abhira ke saath nahi dekh pati thi. Aur jab mujhe pata chala ki un dono ki shaadi sirf ek saal ka contract hai toh mai bas Armaan ko usse dur rakhne ki koshish kar rahi thi. Kyuki mai nahi chahti thi ki Armaan aur Abhira ke bich kabhi bhi thoda sa bhi pyar ho. Kyunki agar ine donon ke bich mein pyar ho gaya to main kahan jaati." Ruhi said.

"Toh tum humen Rohit se shaadi karne se pahle yah baat bata sakti thi na ki tum Armaan se pyar karti ho. Jab ham tumhare liye Rohit ka rishta lekar aaye tab tum bata sakti thi na humne. Toh kyu nahi bataya?" Kaveri asked.
