Mahika has a good time with her best friends, Shruti and Siddharth. Those two came to her rescue, and while talking with them, she finished most of her tasks. She's forever grateful to her friends. After her friends leave, Mahika locks the doors properly and begins to declutter her room. Her laptop, books, printouts of the entries, pens, pen drives, everything is scattered on the table and bed. She's been working while sitting on the bed and now she's super tired. She stacks her books properly, keeps the stationary in the right places, and sets the laptop in the centre of the table. Right after the cleanup, she collapses on the bed, and her thoughts return to one person.

Siddharth - her best friend.

He's been a sweet friend since childhood. They've studied together in school and now in college too. Both of them are career-oriented and know that they can't do without each other. For Mahika, this friendship is something more, but she's unaware of Siddharth's emotions.

She trails back to when Siddharth served her food and even fed her a few hours ago. He often does this, and even Shruti does so. Shruti is a sweet addition to their group and Mahika knows well that Siddharth can't do without either of them. Her lips curve into a smile. She can't do without him either, he has become a part of her soul, and she knows she will need him at every stage of her life. He has become a driving force in her life and she doesn't want to imagine her life without him. With all such thoughts, Mahika falls asleep.

Gautam and his father are in the office, busy with an important meeting. It's only Gautam, who's presenting his key takeaways for the deal, while Anoop is gazing at him proudly. In no time, his son had taken their business to new heights. He hadn't anticipated this, as Gautam had his aspirations and goals. He wanted to start a new venture alongside their family business.

Anoop set up his business which sells eco-friendly products and along with it, his company provides language and vocational skills to everyone who demands to learn them. Back in time too, Anoop has made sure to have perfect mentors in culinary skills or the skills like plumbing, stitching and other such skills. Gautam has put his brain into the business and has opened two training centres in the whole of Mumbai and it's working well. However, the young lad wants to initiate a venture that deals with application development. He's working on it diligently and his parents couldn't be more proud of him.
