Vineet is sitting alone in his room, enveloped by darkness. He now realises that his decision has proved to be painful and life-changing for him as well. In the last eighteen years, he has been through many things, and lately, his business has suffered losses. His mom often quotes that he's responsible for his condition.

"Tune jo faisla liya hai na, Vineet! Isme main tera saath nahi dungi."

"Tune ghar ki lakshmi ka apmaan kiya, aur saath mein uss nanhi si jaan ko dekha bhi nahi."

"Saubhagya se betiyan hoti hain, Vineet, tune khud apne bhavishya par kulhadi maari hai. Jab Ruhaana ko sabse zyada teri zarurat thi, tab hi tune usey akele chhod diya, aisa pyaar tha tera?

He could hear his mother's voice echoing in his ears. Truly, he's responsible for his vulnerable condition. Life hasn't been nice to him, but he has been harsh towards his wife and daughter. He didn't even see the little girl. Meanwhile, his phone rings, bringing him out of his reverie. He attends the call, only to get another shock that a client has broken their business ties with Dhawan Enterprises.

"Sir, aap bhool gaye? Aapko Mr. Krishiv se milna tha aaj? He's so disappointed. Unhone toh deal hi cancel karne ke liye keh diya hai." His manager speaks from the other side.

"Oh! Main...main kisi aur kaam mein pad gaya. Lekin problem kya hui? Rajat, tum toh baat kar sakte they na Krishiv se? Why didn't you settle the matter?" He shouts at him.

"Sir, main kya karta? Vo meri baat sunna hi nahi chahte they. Maine aapko kitna phone try kiya par aapne bhi nahi uthaya. Aap hi bataiye, main kya karta? Mr. Krishiv bahut gusse mein gaye hain, Sir, please aap unse baat kar lijiye, nai toh mil aaiye." the manager says.

Vineet's demeanour and tone soften, and he hums in agreement and cuts the call. He sighs deeply and then a voice falls in his ears. He looks up, only to find a familiar silhouette approaching him. As he tries to look closely, he sees Ruhana's face.

"Kya hua? Tum toh keh rahe they ki tum sab kuch akele handle kar loge? Kya hua? Business bhi nahi sambhal raha."

"Tumne kaha tha ki tumhare pas hamari.....noo! Meri beti ke ilaaj ke liye paise nahi hai, aur na hi tum karvaoge!"
