Thapki was looking for Bihaan but was unable to find him. She inquired Suman and Suman told her that Bihaan was here but suddenly left which made Thapki worried. She tried to call him several times but no one picked up the phone and that made Thapki even more worried.

Besides her no one else seemed to notice Bihaan's absence as everyone was busy with the function. She with a worried and sad heart came out in the open. Some kids were playing with the firecrackers in the porch area. Thapki looked at the happiness on the kids faces and this made her more sad. The feeling that she might not be able to give birth ever, made her heart pain severely. A tear escaped her eye followed by a few more. She still needed to discuss the issue of her pregnancy with Bihaan and she needed to be strong till then.

She was lost in her thoughts when something hit her arm hard and she started feeling the sensation of burning. She turned her head towards her arm and saw her dupatta on fire.

She screamed but her screams were unheard due to the loud music in the house.

-------------------------------------------------------

Seeing the red rose in Thapki's hair made Bihaan so upset that he instantly left the house. In the hurry he totally forgot his mobile in the house that he had put on charging. He had nthg particular in mind... he just wanted some time away from all this. After spending his time here and there and thinking abt how to handle this thing, he looked at his wrist watch and realised that he had been away from his house for more than 2 hrs. He quickly turned his bike towards his home and increased its speed.

-------------------------------------------------------

Bau Ji was sitting in the lawn waiting for Bihaan. After the incident every one tried to reach him but he was not picking up his phone. Later on some one found his cell phone in the house. Bau Ji was worried for him as he knew Bihaan was not this careless to leave without informing any one. There must have been sthg really serious behind his disappearance. Suddenly he noticed Bihaan's bike entering the gate. He quickly got up and hurriedly walked towards him. Bihaan noticed the hurry and worry in Bau Ji's walk. He walked towards Bau Ji to say sorry but Bau Ji interrupted.

Bau Ji: "Don't waste ur time in giving any explanations. Go to ur room and check on Thapki. She needs u"

Bihaan wanted to inquire but seeing the worried look on Bau Ji's face, he ran inside.

Bihaan had his head in Dadi's lap and was crying silently. Dadi who had tried to keep him calm had finally given up and was letting him cry. She thought that he was crying for Thapki who got injured due to the firecracker incident. Apparently some kid had fired a rocket who instead of going upwards, went towards Thapki and hit her. This not only hurt her arm but her clothes caught fire too and she burnt her arm badly. It was Kabir who found her screaming and saved her in time.

When Bihaan went to their room, Thapki was sleeping as doctor had given her injection so that she could rest. He sat on the sofa and kept looking at her. He saw fear, pain and even traces of sorrow on her face even though she was sleeping under the influence of sedatives. He was not sure if delaying things was a gud idea but he could not bring this issue up like that. It was the occasion of his sisters wedding and he needed to act sensible and he had been doing it since the past few days but the pain of betrayal was too much to handle. He did not know wat to do. He decided to talk to Thapki abt it but then decided otherwise. A war had started in his mind and scared of his own thoughts, he left the room and took solace in Dadi's lap.
Dadi did not know the real reason behind his tears so she kept assuring him that everything will be okay. Bihaan however knew that things will never be the same way. He knew wat he was planned ahead will hurt a lot of ppl but he had to make a decision. Bihaan stayed there for around half an hour and when he finally reached on a decision, he suddenly left the room.
