Next day, Kayal went to office little earlier as one of the sponsors replied to her mail asking her to meet at a hotel to get the money. She was little scared because of the place he mentioned. He checked with other people if anyone can accompany her. But other are in work place and couldn't get permission. So, in her lunch break she went to bank and deposited the cash in home care account and went to the hotel. Its looked fancy, she went to the floor and pressed the calling bell for the room # 525. She took the pepper spray in her hand from her bag and hide it in her dress. The man opened the door was in the age of 50, and he dressed normally. She thanked him for his kind help and stand there to get money. He asked her to sit first and have a drink. She politely refused stating she is in hurry and need to return back to office. He slowly standup from his place, and moved near her. She went back holding the spray tightly and not to show her nervousness. He asked what he will gain from giving her 1 L and asked her to understand nothing comes free in this world.

She immediately alerted from his words, and started moving towards door refusing his money. But he pulled her by force which made her startled and she shouted for help. He put his hand over her mouth, but she took the bottle and sprayed in his face and ran outside immediately. She came to the hotel corridor and cursed herself being insane to come here alone and believing these people words. She hurriedly moved from there and stopped by a figure which shocked her life to death. Its Arjun.

He too shocked to see her there, and suddenly the room # 525 door opened and the man shouted and called her with mean words and insulted her. She holds her tears and tried to move from there, but she noticed his secretary behind him and ran hurriedly from there and went to staircase area. She cried keeping her hands in mouth and thought how Arjun eyes were when looking at her. She felt like insects are running over her body and ashamed herself. She felt her body burning in fire, when remembering the look in Arjun's face.

She cried for sometime and went out in hurry hearing someone voice. The last thing in her mind was Arjun. What she will answer? Will he believe her? No obviously not?

She cried and was walking in front where ever the road leads. She doesn't know where she is going until she hear her phone ring. Its Arjun. She picked up with her whole body shaking in fear, and she heard him asking about her whereabouts. She could feel his anger, and couldn't able to reply. Without further talk, he asked her to come to home now. Arjun punched the person who was coming behind Kayal and asked his secretary to take care of it and moved from the hotel. He couldn't find her in the streets, so he called her.

She cut the call, and looked up her surrounding and called a cab and went to home. She messaged to her teammate about her absence and she already finished her task for the day. She wiped her tears, and went inside the house. Its 3 PM, and she know dadi, Ria would be sleeping in their room. Latha and Anjali had some work, so they wont be there till evening. She see Arjun car at entrance, and freezes there. He entered into house like a bull in rage, and Kayal was standing there not knowing what to do having tears in her eyes.

When she was about to say, he pulled her harshly and dragged her to their room. He pushed her inside and closed the door. He asked her what she was doing there in hotel at that time. Why was she not in office, and who is the person in the room. Seeing Arjun anger, Kayal couldn't able to bring words and kept her head down crying. When he didn't get any response he pulled her by her hair and asked if she is she in shock about him finding her true self and that she couldn't lie anymore. How long was she doing this, and asked how she can cheat all his family members who believe she is innocent.

He asked her how much he offered and whether she didn't find it enough that she came out. His words made her body to burn more and even her tears couldn't wash it. Arjun pushed her, where she lost her balance and fell over the table and got hit in her head and she can feel the blood in her head. Arjun immediately felt hurt by his behavior and seeing her in such state. He asked her to say something instead of crying like this. He asked her to come up with some excuse, and why she is keeping silence. 

At the time she got a call from her mother, and as she didn't picked up, she messages her about receiving the money she deposited. Also not to worry about remaining amount, as she already found a sponsor who is ready to help the child. When she tried to hide her phone, Arjun immediately picked up from her and saw the chat conversation with her orphanage friends and mother. He thought how he misunderstood her and  didn't give her time to explain and how he behaved like a monster.
