Feeling thirsty Jivika wakes up from her sleep but then gets confused when she doesn't see Shivansh on the bed. Thinking that he must be in the washroom, she looks at the nightstand to see that the glass is empty. So, she gets up from the bed and takes the glass in her hand to fill water from the jug that is kept on the table present in the room.

However, she hears someone talking so she looks at the source to see that it's Shivansh who is talking with someone on the phone. She decides to go to him and see who has called so early in the morning. But her steps halt hearing what her husband is saying on the phone while the glass drops on the floor from her hands breaking into numerous pieces.

"First his wife and then he died so soon. After what they did to Jivika, they should have stayed alive so that they could be tortured more. But I don't know why God is showing so much kindness to them that they're dead before I let them die." Shivansh says on the phone but the breaking of something makes him turn around to see that Jivika is standing there.

"You lied to me." Jivika whispers looking at Shivansh while one by one tears start to fall out of her eyes.

"Rani Sahiba.." Shivansh says not liking the blank look on his wife's face. He tries to walk near her but she shows him her palm stopping him from any further.

"Mere sirf ek sawal ka jawab dijiye, Shiv. Uske baad na koi sawal puchhungi aur na hi aapko koi jawab dena hoga. Kya aap Balwant Patil aur unki patni ke bare mein baat kar rahe the? Jhuth mat boloyiga kyunki maine apna naam bhi suna hain. Sirf ha ya na mein jawab dijiye." Jivika says gulping down her emotions to control herself from breaking down.

(Just answer one of my question, Shiv. After that I will not ask you any questions and you won't have to answer me anything. Were you talking about Balwant Patil and his wife? Don't lie because I have also heard my name being mentioned. Answer in yes or no.)

"Ha.." Shivansh replies looking at his wife who just nods her head in response.

(Yes.)

"Main Bua Maa ke kamre mein ja rahi hu." By saying this Jivika walks away from there while Shivansh keeps looking at her retreating figure.

(I am going to Bua Maa's room.)

For the first time, Shivansh doesn't know what to do. He feels like he has done a crime because of the way Jivika has found out about her tormentors. She only knows about their death and she is reacting like this. Then what will she do when everything will be cleared in front of her?

Shivansh's phone again starts vibrating making him look at the caller ID to see that Adwait is calling him again. Although he doesn't have any energy to talk but he needs to tell what happened to his best friend.

"What happened, Shivansh? Why did you stop talking in the middle? Are you going to come or not?" Adwait asks question after question.

"Jivika has heard everything." Shivansh replies closing his eyes while a drop of tears rolls out of his eyes.

"What the hell are you talking, man?" Adwait asks getting alert.

"Yes, she heard everything and then asked me if I was talking about that Sarpanch and his wife I couldn't lie to her and told her yes that I was talking about them. Now she has gone to Buaji's room. Adwait, she simply left without letting me give her any explanation." Shivansh says clutching his chest as if he is feeling some pain there.

"Bro, you calm down. Please you can't break down like this. Look she needs time to adjust to the truth that we have hidden from her. Just give her some alone time and I am sure she will understand. My sister is very understanding and I have my full faith in her." Adwait replies while getting inside his car.
