It was the last time Nandini called Atharva before her death. Atharva was devastated and couldn't believe what had happened.
During Nandini's funeral, As everyone grieved, the atmosphere was shattered by the arrival of Ashwin's family.
Even in such a difficult time, they had the audacity to propose a marriage alliance between Dhruvi and Ashwin. This angered everyone, and Atharva, filled with rage, confronted them and demanded they leave.
However, Ashwin's family retaliated by blackmailing Atharva, threatening to never allow Dhruvi to marry anyone else. Anger and frustration consumed Atharva as he retreated to his room. There, he overheard his mother talking about how both his and Dhruvi's lives had been disrupted.
Atharva felt a mix of emotions - confusion, anger, and sadness. He yearned for answers and wished Nandini was still alive so they could talk it out. Now, he had to unravel the truth and find a way to protect Dhruvi from Ashwin's family.
.....
It was after 6 month , when Dhruvi returned. Everyone was happy but worried about Ashwin's family also. They earlier postponed her trip but she had made her decision to come back .

"I don't know why you guys had made such alliance or promise about me when I clearly said I don't wanna marry anyone " Dhruvi angrily said to her family.

' But beta , Nandini told me you still like him and you guys had decided this when you will come back .And you know several years ago you had to suffer cause of your this affair with Ashwin . Everyone in this family knew this. so we thought it would be better to let you guys get married then you don't have to be ashamed also cause of your actions. " Her mom explained.

" And several years ago also , I told you all this all things are fake . I never had an affair with him !!! It was just Nandini's assumptions and again her. She is dead but still don't leave any chance to ruin my life again !! and why all will believe me ? you guys always had believe others than me " She said bitterly.

" Don't say things like that.. We want your best only , and we always wantes Atharva to be your groom but you only ruined your friendship with him don't know how . And then he and Nandini started being in relation, but Now Nandini is dead , if you want I can ask your proposal for him even his mother wants that " Her mother again tried to convinced her .

" SUCH A SELFISH PERSON YOU ALL ARE !! " Dhruvi shouted and left the place .

......

Atharva was concerned about Dhruvi so he went to meet her . He knocked her door and she opened to find Atharva standing there. She was taken aback, feeling a whirlwind of anger, sadness, love, and anxiety all at once.

Reluctant to face him, Dhruvi asked why he had come. Atharva, with genuine intentions, explained that he wanted to see her after many years and tried to engage in a normal conversation. However, Dhruvi remained distant, keeping the conversation formal.

Atharva grew frustrated by Dhruvi's behavior and questioned " why you are acting this way. I had already forgiven you for spiking Nandini's drink at a farewell party years ago.

But Dhruvi, still hurt by the past, rudely asked " why you wanted to talk to me ? " . She questioned "Is it's your business, caring for one sister and then leaving her for another.Then now she is dead, you came back to me . What do you want to marry you ? This is why you are acting so sweet now but listen I will rather marry Ashwin than you.

Hurt and angered by Dhruvi's words, Atharva stormed out of the room,
Days turned into weeks, and silence filled the void between Atharva and Dhruvi but still Atharva was concerned for her , he can't lose her friend and let her choose the wrong path he tried his every possibility to make her change decision. Everyone was confused by her behaviour earlier she don't want to get marry and now she want to get marry . The only last option left for Atharva was to marry her and thought it only 1 year passed of Nandini's death , he can't think of that but still it was his compulsiveness.. Everyone was happy by his decision but Dhruvi wasn't. She don't want him because he had hurted her in many ways he still didn't knew .And seeing him only made her frustation more .

She was rigid for her decision, she could do anything to avoid Atharva .How ironically she used to do anything to get attention from him earlier but due to her grandpa she had to get agree because the only person now she loves in her family is him because her family never understood her, they did everything for themselves not for her and she can't lose her another love .

.......

It was night before their wedding when Atharva was feeling upset and guilty about his decision. How could he do this to Nandini? But still there was something in him which didn't let him to see Dhruvi suffer and this all happened because of Nandini's decision only ..

He frustratedly bang his hand on his table when a note fell down . He picked that not and it took him sec to recognized the writing. It was of Nandini .

Note :

" Atharva you are angry now, and I am also but I know it's my fault but still . I am leaving this note here in your diary because Idk if my mood will be better in morning or not and you will not pick my calls . I know you very well .But the thing I want to say is very important. I didn't wanted Ashwin to marry Dhruvi , he is not good for her . I knew that 6 years ago also but my dumbness I still trusted him and now I did this because he was blaickmailing me This is why I was behaving like this from the past weeks . I will tell you in person the reason because it's one of my secret which left a scared mark in my soul and one more reason is you may not believe is Dhruvi also "

Atharva's anger towards Ashwin reached its peak as he believed that Ashwin had been tormenting him. He was consumed by the desire to seek revenge and even contemplated harming Ashwin. However, everything changed when Dhruvi's name entered the picture.

Atharva couldn't ignore the connection between Dhruvi's behavior and her desire to marry Ashwin. It made him question the truth behind Nandini's previous accusations. He started to believe that Nandini had been right all along, and it was Dhruvi who had caused Nandini's suffering.

As these thoughts swirled in Atharva's mind, he realized that he needed to uncover the truth and he have thw best opportunities now, he called Anmay .
