One week later:
Mr. Viraj Sehgal and Andy were arrested for all murders. They were exactly where the deserved to be- behind the bar. Karmo ka fal bhogte hue. Mr. Sehgal tried every twisted way to get a bail and to come out from the jail, but Ahaan managed to fail every twisted way of his. Afterall, he got his senses back. Mr. Sehgal finally accepted his defeat. His EGO lost! But so did Ahaan and Anaya, they lost.

Have you noticed their flat numbers?
401- In the war of 4 people, she now has 0 and lost 1 person she loved.
402- In the war of 4 people, he now has 0 and lost 2 person he loved.
4 people were Ahaan, Ayaan, Anaya and the main player Mr. Sehgal.

The last conversation they had was three days ago.
Anaya was trying to bring back her calmness and sense of understanding.
"Ahaan, I understand everything. I get it that it's not your fault for charging me for murders. It was your attachment and trust towards Mr. Sehg- ... Viraj! Towards Viraj,  that made you do all this. But Ahaan, I loved you as Ayaan. I didn't fall for your looks or money that's still the same. I fell for that personality, that soul which isn't same anymore." Anaya tried to explain.
"It's still the same soul, Lily!" cried Ahaan.
"Don't! Don't call me Lily." There it goes. Here comes the wrath of a broken heart.
"I'm sorry."
"Everything was a lie Ahaan! Even your name wasn't true, wasn't yours." Her voice resembled the voice of a lioness.
"Not everything. I loved you! I really did."
"I heard it on the phone call. You loved me and hated me simultaneously." She said in a sarcastic tone.
"Because I thought-"
"Exactly! You did what you thought was right. You did what you believe. You did what you want. Where is my part?" Anaya grabbed his collar and tears started rolling off her eyes. She continued "Kabhi bhi zindagi me aaoge kabhi bhi chale jaaoge? Mere emotions ka kya? Mere pyaar ka kya?" Her voice started breaking. "I'm really really trying to understand your situation but I cannot forget what you did to me. Kisi bhi rishtey ki buniyaat bharosa hoti hai... kese karu me tumpe bharosa?"
"I get it Li- ... Anaya. You won't be able to trust me right now. But I won't leave you! I won't give up. I'll keep trying, until my last breath. I'll gain your trust again."
"I'm not giving you second chance Ahaan, whenever I look at your face, all I see is lie. I wish to never see it."
"Don't hate me."
"That's the problem. I can't!"
"Then I'll wait for you until you are mine again."
"Not in this lifetime."
"I'll keep trying until the last lifetime."

Present:
Ahaan is resigning as detective and shifting all his focus on EcoGreen. Whenever he enters the office, he recalls how Anaya decorated it once. He still has that teddy kept there. Mrs. Sehgal is now the head of Sehgal's group of industries. And Anaya resigned from EcoGreen and got a job offer in Churchgate.

Mr. D'Souza's son decided to sell the apartment and now Anaya and Ishika have to leave the apartment after 3 months when their contract ends. House hunting in Mumbai is tough. But they are managing it.

Ishika is trying to engage Anaya in all random activities to keep her distracted. Parth brings an ice-cream for her everyday, to bring her back to normalcy,  but she refuses to eat everyday. 'Har musibat ki jad ice-cream hi hai' is what she says. She managed to keep herself all rough and tough- 'a fighter and not a weeper.' But deep inside she hated how much she loves Ahaan and yet she cannot forgive him.

Two days later:
Anaya went to the mandir for peace of mind. Bhagwan ji kyu aap mujhse har wo shaqs cheen lete ho jiske sath hone se mujhe khushi milti hai? Pehle mummy papa or ab Ahaan.
"Mere baare me baat kar rahi ho bhagwan ji se? Tareef ya shikayat?"
Anaya was shocked to see Ahaan there. He comes to the temple everyday since that incident. He made it a ritual of his to talk to Ayaan when he sits in the temple.
"Mere paas itni fursat nahi hai ki main tumhare baare me sochu."
Anaya turned and started to walk away. Her speed fastened. She turned for a second and said "Stop sending me Lilies and love letters."
"You don't throw them, do you? Or idhar hi aapne mujhe hukum diya tha ki hum kabhi naa badle, aapka Ayaan-Ahaan kese paalan na kare uska?"
"Jese pehle nahi kiya tha jab tumne mujhe jail me rakha tha. Aur naa hi tum mere ho naa me tumhari! So stop calling 'aapka' Ahaan."
"Tum na hue mere to kya
Me tumhara me tumhara me tumhara raha" he started singing these lines. Nostalgia hit her and a single trail of tears led way through her eyes. She left him.

Okay so readers... I have two endings for this! A happy ending and a sad (semi-happy I prefer) ending. Based on your opinions, I would upload the next and the final chapter. So please let me know!

And remember the prologue where Parth was dead? Well we'll see to it too!

(This was a half filler chapter since I hadn't updated for a long time. And I'll add the translation soon don't worry)
