Everyone was dancing happily after Rohit and Ruhi's romantic dance. The Poddar and Chauhan families were enjoying themselves. The hall was dimly lit, music filled the air, and the media captured every moment. Guests admired the families, including Rohit and Ruhi, who were also there.

Ruhi danced with her father, but Rohit stood still, looking around for Abhira. Suddenly, he spotted her sitting quietly on a sofa with her family. Abhira was silently crying after seeing Rohit and Ruhi dance together. Abhir tried to comfort her, urging their family to leave, but Abhimanyu disagreed and wasn't ready to go home yet.

Abhira quietly said to Abhir, "Bhaiya, mujhe washroom jaana hai. Main thodi der mein vapas aa jaungi."

Abhir replied, "Main bhi aata hoon tumhare saath."

Abhira shook her head gently, "Nahi bhaiya, it's okay. Main chali jaaungi."

Abhir nodded reluctantly. Abhira got up, wiping her tears, and walked towards the washroom.

Rohit who observed her going away slowly moved out of the crowd and followed her.

"Ummm, excuse me." She called a servant who was walking in a corridor.

"Yes mam?" He asked.

"Kya aap mujhe bata sakte hai ki washroom kaha hai?" Abhira asked.

"Yes mam, yaha se left mein guest room hai. Aap vaha ka washroom use kar lijiye." He replied.

"Thank You." She said and went towards the direction which he told.

She looked at a room and said, "Shayad yehi hai guest room."

Abhira entered the guest room, her heart heavy with emotion. She found the washroom and closed the door behind her. Inside, she leaned against the sink, tears streaming down her cheeks. The mirror in front of her reflected a face filled with sadness and confusion.

She whispered to herself, "Main yahan kyun aayi thi? Mujhe pata tha yeh sab hoga."

She splashed some water on her face, trying to calm herself down. Her mind raced with memories of moments shared with Rohit, now painfully contrasted with the reality of his engagement to Ruhi.

The sound of music from the hall outside faintly reached her ears, a stark reminder of the celebration she couldn't bear to be a part of anymore.

Taking a deep breath, Abhira wiped her tears with a tissue. She looked back into the mirror, trying to gather strength.

"I need to be strong." she whispered to her reflection, willing herself to face the situation.

Abhira left the washroom and closed the door behind her. When she turned around, she saw Rohit standing there. She looked at him for a moment and then tried to walk towards the room door.

"Abhira ruko."

Rohit moved in front of her, blocking her way.

Abhira felt conflicted and didn't know what to say. She felt hurt and sad because Rohit had chosen someone else.

She again tried to go but Rohit held her wrist.

"Please mujhe jaane do." Abhira said without looking at him.

"Please meri baat sun lo Abhira." He said.

Abhira shook her head and again tried to go but Rohit didn't let her go. He held her wrist a little more tightly and moved inside the room.

"Chodo mujhe Rohit. Please jaane do. Kisine dekh liya toh sab galat samajhenge." Abhira said trying to free herself from his grip.

"Tum meri baat sune bina kahi nahi jaaogi." He said.
