At the coffee shop next to St.Louis college:

Swayam was waiting for Kriya for past 15mins but there was no signs of her till now. He tried to call her but got a message that her phone is switched off. He then remembered Rey's attitude towards him and thought he might have forbidden her from meeting him. As he sat there lost in his thoughts, he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He looks up and a smile appears on his face on seeing the person standing next to him.

Swayam : Hi Kriya

Kriya : Hi Swayam

Swayam gestures Kriya to take a seat. As Kriya sat down opposite him, a waiter approach their table.

Swayam : Kriya, coffee?

Kriya nods her head in yes.

Swayam : 2 coffee please.

Waiter goes from there after taking the order.

Kriya : Tell me Swayam, why did you ask me to meet?

Swayam : I need your help Kriya.

Kriya : If it has anything to do with Sharon, I cannot help you.

Swayam : But why?

Kriya : Because Rey is very possessive about her and he does not want you anywhere near her.

Swayam : But Kriya. ..

Kriya : Swayam, please try to understand. He almost lost her 2yrs back and he will not allow anyone near her if they are a risk to her life.

Swayam looks at Kriya pleading for help.

Kriya : 2yrs back when you left for London, she waited for you at your house just to apologize to you one last time. But when she realized that you have left without even giving her a chance to apologize, it broke her down completely. Her asthma got triggered because of the stress and she went unconscious. Rey rushed her to the nearest hospital but what happened next was a complete nightmare for all of us.

2 years back at the hospital :

Rey sat beside Sharon's bed waiting for her to wake up. As he sat there watching her, she began to open her eyes slowly. She looked at Rey for couple of minutes and then started screaming and breaking things in the room. Nilesh, Simmi and Kriya was standing outside Sharon's room. On hearing her scream,they rushed inside and was shocked to see the state of the room. Sharon was standing in one corner holding a scalpel in her hand threatening to cut herself while Rey was trying to pacify her.

She agreed to put the scalpel down after talking to Rey but before he realized her intentions, she had cut her wrist. Rey and Nilesh somehow managed to hold her down while Kriya went to call the doctor. Soon the doctor arrives and gives her some sedative. She slowly drifts to sleep because of the medicine. Kriya and Simmi sat next to her while Rey and Nilesh went to meet the doctor.

Doctor informs Rey and Nilesh that Sharon has lost her mental stability due to some shock. Doctor also informs them that she can be cured if they treat her with love and care. Rey and Nilesh leave the doctor's cabin in shock unable digest the fact that their Sharon is suffering from mental disorder. They reach Sharon's room and finds Kriya sitting beside her holding her hand.

As he approach Sharon's bed, he hears her murmuring something. He goes closer to her to hear what she was saying.

Sharon (murmuring): I am sorry Swayam. Please don't leave me alone. I love you.

Tears start flowing down her friends eyes as they hear her taking Swayam's name even in this condition. All of them except Kriya felt a strong hatred towards Swayam as they felt he was responsible for Sharon's condition. Kriya was unable to blame Swayam completely because she knew that both Sharon and Swayam were responsible for their relationship failure.

After a week, Sharon gets discharged from the hospital and Rey brings her to his house opposing her parents decision to put her in an asylum. Since then Rey has been taking caring of her with the help of Kriya and his friends.

Present time :

Swayam was in tears after hearing what happened to Sharon 2yrs back. His decision to bring her back to normal life becomes strong after hearing the story.

Swayam : Please Kriya. You know that I can help Sharon but I need my friends with me to do that. Please help me.

Kriya : I cannot take this decision because Sharon is Rey's responsibility.

Kriya finally decides to talk to Rey about Swayam's request after seeing his helplessness.
At Rey's house :

Rey literally burst after hearing Swayam's request.

Rey : No, No, No. I cannot leave my Sharon with this person. Last time she fell in love with him, he broke her spirit and left her mentally unstable. This time, if he come near her, she may lose her life.

Kriya : Rey...

Swayam flinch.on hearing his accusation.

Rey : I lost my bestfriend because of him. Atleast she is around us right now but his presence will kill her forever.

Kriya : Rey, stop taunting Swayam. I agree that he did wrong 2yrs back but even Sharon was at fault because she denied their relationship before everyone.

Rey : I agree Kriya that Sharon was wrong but she regretted her deed. She apologized many times, tried to save their relationship but he didn't give her a single chance. He was the one who always boasted that he understands her better than anyone else in this world but he failed to read her eyes when she needed him the most. At that moment, he proved that his love is a complete failure.

Swayam : I agree Rey that I am responsible for Sharon's condition. I failed in my love but why should she suffer because of my failure. Please give me a chance to help her.

Kriya : Rey, please try to understand that Sharon is still waiting for her Swayam. He is the only one she is thinking about even in this condition. He may be able to do some miracle where we have all failed in last 2yrs.

Rey thinks for some time and looks at Swayam who was sitting on his knees literally begging for Rey's approval.

Rey : Okay, he can try to help Sharon but I will not leave her alone with him. One of us will always be with him every time he visits her.

Kriya and Swayam agrees to this condition.

Rey : Tomorrow, we will meet Sharon's doctor to get suggestions on what Swayam can do to help her.

Kriyam : Okay.

Swayam was really happy that Rey has finally agreed to accept his help.

Precap:

What will Swayam do to help Sharon?
