Ashi is looking up at the moon, and thinking about something. She is alone at home, and Randeep is not there. Ashi decides to meet her counsellor, as she still feels that her past is effecting her relationships with her close ones. She hasn't spoken to anyone of her friends up till now. She texts her counsellor asking for an appointment for tommorow.

Ashi: I better go to sleep now, let's see what tommorow brings.

It is the next morning, and she wakes up early. She comes out of her room, and prays to God. After doing that she makes breakfast for herself. Ashi sits down to eat, and looks at her social media accounts.

Ashi: I really am hurting my fans for not interacting with them.

She checks the time, and sits down in her car leaving from there just concentrating on the road as it is very quiet. She arrives at Priya home, and closes the door behind her. Ashi rings the doorbell, and Priya lets her come in.

Priya: How are you Ashi?

Ashi: I don't feel very good, it's like I'm loosing myself after everything. I'm not the same Ashi that I used to be. I'm not close to anyone anymore, I push others away from myself, and I'm only realising that right now.

Priya: What your saying is that you want your space, but that one person keeps destroying your inner self, and your relationships. How is your relationship with Randeep right now?

Ashi: It's alright at the moment, I think he wants his own time with his friends, because he's always stuck with me, right now he's in Maldives.

Priya: Are you still taking your anti-deppressants?

Ashi: I stopped it in March, because I was starting a new relationship, and I didn't wanted Randeep to know about it, so I hid it from him. I thought it would get better in time, but they say that your past will always come out one way or another. And Rocky did show up before I got married calling me charecterless, and I feel back then that I could keep it within me, but every person always has a breaking point. I can't discuss this with anyone else but you, my family do know about it.

Priya: Being in this type of industry is really hard, the media knows every little detail about you, your always under a spotlight, and your life is an open book, do you feel sometimes that I should have been something else?

Ashi: I just wanted to fufill my parents dreams, other than that I would have been a C.A. I don't mind being an actress, but sometimes it gets too much. I did complete my degree in 2018, but my passion has always been acting.

Priya: Besides acting do you take up any other hobbies, that can distract you from this?

Ashi: I've always loved painting and singing, maybe I can take that up as I'm not doing too much after my show ended.

Priya: Always open up to your friends or family about what your feeling, maybe they can help you, and I'm also there as well.

Ashi: Thank you so much for understanding, and giving me advice, I feel a bit better now.

Two Weeks Later

Ashi has picked up a new hobby, and that is playing the piano. She starts to sing a song from her heart. Ashi starts recording herself.

Ashi: Itni mohabbat karo na
Main doob na jaaun kahin
Waapas kinaare pe aana
Main bhool na jaaun kahin
Dekha jabse chehra tera
Main toh hafton se soya nahin

Bol do na zara
Dil mein jo hai chhipa
Main kisi se kahunga nahi
Main kisi se kahunga nahi

Mujhe neend aati nahi hai akele
Khawabon mein aaya karo
Nahi chal sakunga tumhare bina main
Mera tum sahara bano
Ik tumhe chahne ke alaawa
Aur kuch humse hoga nahi

Bol do na zara
Dil mein jo hai chhipa
Main kisi se kahunga nahi
Main kisi se kahunga nahi

Hamari kami tumko mehsoos hogi
Bhiga dengi jab baarishein
Main bhar kar ke laaya hoon
Aankhon mein apni
Adhuri si kuch khwahishein
Rooh se chahne wale aashiq
Baatein jismon ki karte nahin

Bol do na zara
Dil mein jo hai chhipa
Main kisi se kahunga nahi

Bol do na zara
Dil mein jo hai chhipa
Main kisi se kahunga nahi
Main kisi se kahunga nahi

Randeep starts clapping for her, and she becomes stunned that he is here. Ashi stops the recording, and turns around looking at him. She becomes shy that he heard her sing after a long time.

Randeep: Are you not going to come and hug me Ashu?

Ashi walks slowly, and he spreads his arms out. She runs towards him, and hugs him passionately. He can tell that she has not been sleeping properly because of her dark eye bags

Randeep: You've become even more slimmer and beautiful in the past two weeks? Are you trying to impress someone?

Ashi: No I'm trying to impress Mr. Randeep Rai, you know he always used to tell me that you should join the gym, that's what I'm doing, and now I'm writing some songs and playing the piano from my own will. I feel more better and calm than before. By the way I made your favourite food my dear Pati.

Randeep: Has someone possessed you? Where did this new Ashi come out from?

Ashi: Nothing has changed, but I have. The old, bubbly, cheerful Ashi has returned, now come on or else the food will get cold.

Randeep: Your hiding something from me?

Ashi: Okay you caught me, two weeks ago I went to see my counsellor, because I wans't feeling like my usual self, but she helps me a lot with my mental health. Without her, I don't think I would be here with you, and besides I'm the one who is spoiling this relationship, so I need to fix it.

Randeep: Give me one minute I need to get something

She sits down on the chair waiting for him, and he finally comes to her. He gives her a present, and she becomes confused. He tells her to open it as he wants to see her reaction. She opens it, and becomes overjoyed to see a beautiful diomond necklace.

Ashi: This is so gorgeous, but when did you buy this?

Randeep: When we were in Paris, I got it for you then in the shopping mall.

Ashi: Your the best husband in the world

He makes her wear it, and it looks really pretty on her. After dinner he lifts her up bridal style and takes her into thier room as she is feeling sleepy.

Randeep: She looks so peaceful whilst she is sleeping.

Ashi: Randeep I was just pretending to sleep

She sticks her tongue out, and he starts to chase her around the bed, they end up having a pillow fight. Ashi recognises the desire he has in his eyes, and she nods her head.

Randeep: Let's make love all night!
