It's night,Ruhi had not slept and was cranky since morning, she was not eating her food and is crying for Ishita continuously. Raman has a hard time to handle Ruhi, he is tensed also as Ishita has not returned back till now. He thought to call Ishita keeping aside his ego, he is going to pick up his phone when he saw Ishita opening the lock of her house.
Ishita hear Ruhi crying and turned back to see Ruhi. Ruhi opened her arms in the hope that Ishita will take her but Ishita is hesitatant to take her as Raman instructed her to stay away from his daughter. She wiped her tears and shows her back to Ruhi making both Raman and Ruhi shocked. Ishita again starts unlocking her door when she again heard Ruhi loud voice of crying and this time she ignored Raman's words and ran towards them and take Ruhi in her arms to console her.
He rudely said, I told you naa, not to show your face to us.
while comforting Ruhi in her arms, she said angrily, I know and don't worry bear me till tomorrow as I am going to Chennai for forever. But for now, Ruhi health is important, seeing her red face I can easily assume that she was crying from morning. I am taking her with me for now, I will make her eat and sleep then I will give back your daughter to you and with that she opened her house and entered with Ruhi.
He was shocked listening to her when Toshi came to him and said, puttar Ruhi is already tired with her crying session,she will make her sleep. Toshi dragged Raman inside their house and Raman was in the thought that Ishita will leave him for forever.

Raman Room(self talk)
He angrily starts throwing his things in the room.
How can she leave me and Ruhi, doesn't she think about us. How we will live without her. Is she going Chennai for some marriage proposal but she told me that she will never get married even for her parents.
But yesterday, suddenly she was talking about her marrige, does It means she was already in a plan to leave us.
He angrily walk out from his house to Ishita's house, he banged her door loudly. She opens her door and told him can't he ring the bell, as he unnecessarily made Ruhi scared. He without saying anything enters into the house and told her that he wants to talk with her.
I- there is nothing to talk between us, you go to your house I am bringing Ruhi in sometime after making her sleep
R- are you over with your lecture??
I- gave him unbelievable look. If you think I am giving you lecture then why are you here, you can leave now😒
R- it raises his anger, I am not going anywhere. Make my daughter sleep so that I can take her from here and by the way congratulations for your wedding.
I- shocked, have I given you any invitation?
R- No.. but you only told me that your amma is calling you and if you go there then she will force you for marriage. So by this, I can easily assume that you are going to get married
I- her eyes become moist about thinking that how unaffectedly he is talking about her marriage. But she calmed herself and said thank you for your wish and turned towards her room to make Ruhi sleep. Raman is shattered with her  words and thought she thanked me... does it mean she is going to get married  in real.He is frustrated that he even can't express his love to her nor he can't stop her from going to Chennai.
After some half an hour she came back and give Ruhi to him. She was feeling too low as she is seeing both Raman and Ruhi for last time.

Raman take care of Ruhi and yourself also. I know we had shared a strange relationship but once you also considered me as your friend, So as a friend I want you to be happy forever.
Hesitantly, she asked Raman I want a favor  from you, I am going to Chennai  tomorrow, can you allow me to see Ruhi for the last time? With that she kissed ruhi's forehead and raman without saying anything left with sleeping ruhi from there making Ishita heart break into zillion of pieces.

Raman's Room
He angrily sat on his bed and said, What should I do?? She is getting married and leaving us for forever but still I am not able to stop her because of my fear of love. I can't afford to love her because this time if my heart get breaks then I will not be able to live and for my Ruhi I have to live. But Ishita... Will I able to live without her?? Will I able to see her with someone else??
His eyes becomes moist and said, I know I will not be able to live without Ishita but she is not in my destiny. Suddenly, Ruhi started crying loudly drawing his attention to herself. He takes her into his arms but not finding Ishita nearby, she again starts crying.
Raman- beta stop crying, papa is here for you forever but she is inconsolable.
Suddenly, Ruhi murmured mum mum... Raman was shocked to hear this from Ruhi.
Ruhi again murmured mum mum... and starts pushing Raman from her little hands to make herself free so that she can crawl and go to Ishita . Seeing her cute efforts, he smiled with his moist eyes and said, Ruhi thank you.. I was hesitant to love again but you give me all answers. He kissed his little bundle and walked outside to express his love with Ruhi to Ishita.
