Jhanvi tried to convince him the next morning too, but nothing worked. She tried to convey to him that she doesn't want to leave him at any cost, no matter what kind of bond he expects from her. She was even prepared to be a sister to him. He called her in the afternoon, though he was angry with her, he tried to know her perspective. She cried a lot. Don't know why, but she felt that she did not want to lose the bond. Somehow she convinced him. He also felt bad, but previous heartache was so deep that he couldn't trust anyone.

Jhanvi started a mission of suppressing her feelings in her heart, fighting a battle. She tried to flirt with boys to forget or bury his feelings, but she couldn't. What was left was a broken heart and beautiful poems. She decided that she will never  hurt or disappoint him. 

Within a year everything changed, she was finally free from his feelings. Their friendship and everything was going good. Even they planned how they will attend each other's marriage in future.

It was the COVID period, when the roads were closed, but Sagar's heart started opening for Jhanvi. Sagar was an OCD patient, along with depression. One day he expressed Jhanvi how he felt about her. He has feelings for her, but can't assure her about the marriage. Jhanvi's world crashed, she had no answer for this proposal. It took her a year to bury her feelings and emotions towards. How could she accept his proposal? It was not a game to shift her feelings from friendship to love and love to friendship. He tried to express himself indirectly, but all she said was no everytime.
