Ragini and swara gives each other hi-five.
Ragini: this book is perfect for you
Swara: yeah atleast now no girl will leave you
Laksh: by this book "how to impress a girl"
Swara: lucky tell me you really became nervous (pretending that she is serious for his situation).
Laksh: yes yaar, I felt nervous
Swara: really
swaragini starts laughing loudly
Laksh: you both are laughing, as you have kissed someone.
SWARAGINI( both say together): yeah aarav
suddenly this name brought tears in everyone's eyes but every tears have different senses.
Ragini is crying due to guilt, a guilt of cheating her sister, a guilt of breaking her heart, a guilt of breaking her shona's trust.
Laksh is crying because his best friend is hurt. His tears are, for giving respect to his shona, for his strong shona. he is also crying due to his helplessness that he can not do any thing for her.
Swara is trying to control her self but in vain she failed, she is not crying because she thinks her sister has cheated on her( she know she hasn't). She is also not crying because her best friend could not help her. She is crying because she knows that her sister and her best friend is crying due to her and thats why she want to control her tears but she failed because somewhere she is helpless she can not control her tears after thinking about that AARAV.

Scene 3;

Sanskar is in that man's house.
Man: sir here is her number talk to her
Sanskar: Yeah I will, but let me thank you first, you have done a great favor on me.
There is also tears in sanskar's eyes but these tears are of happiness, yeah he is happy because he has moved a step ahead in his mission
