Sanskar: No Arjun! Don't blame yourself for this! If anyone is to blame then it is Kiara! And I'm grateful to you that you stood by Swara all this time when I wasn't around! But one question is still in my head. How did you meet Swara?
Arjun: Me and Ruhi were at the airport as we were picking Suraj up because he went to America for his studies and we found her there but in a really bad state. She was crying so we went to her and asked what happened and if we could be of any help. She told us all that happened but I didn't know that she was your wife. We then took her to our house and everyone tried to make her better but it was all in vain until one day.
Flashback:
Arjun: Swara where are you going?
Priya: Yes Swara it's 6 am where are you going this early?
Swara: Actually ma I think it's time for me to let go of the past. Living in the past won't let me live in the present. You all have given me so much love and support and I can't just let that go.
Arjun looks at Ruhi and Ruhi looks back. They share a proud smile on their lips as Swara was finally letting go of the past. It had taken them ages to get her out of the trauma that she faced. She cried everyday and barely talked to anyone. They tried pacifying her and gave her love more than she needed. She had considered them her family now and thought that if they're doing so much for her then she can at least do something for them.
Ruhi: But Swara where are you going?
Swara: I want to be independent. I want to make something out of myself. I want to join the business or make a business myself. I want to let go. Will you support me?
Ruhi, Ananya and Aadya all hug her while the rest were in tears and felt proud of her. Their efforts finally paid off. Swara was finally moving on. They shared a family hug and went to eat breakfast. While they were eating Arjun and Ruhi were discussing with Swara on how she could start the business. They decided that she would start off by working in their company and then she could make her own.
Months later when Swara had built her business, she worked day and night and never took a leave. She thought it would be best for her to keep occupied or else she would go back to the past memories which she had taken so much effort to move on from. The family missed her a lot and tried to distract her but it was of no use. Then Ruhi decided to be her secretary so she could at least spend time with her. Swara hadn't spent time with the family since she joined the business. Joining it was just an excuse for her so that she didn't have to show her sadness to anybody especially when they tried so much on her.
End of flashback:
Sanskar: She distanced herself from everybody. All because of me. If I had just told her the truth then she wouldn't have gone through all that pain! I'm responsible for her condition!
He punches his fist to the nearby tree.
Arjun: What are you doing?! Are you crazy! This isn't your fault! If anyone is to be blamed it is me and Kiara. Not you. You were helping me. I was in jail under false accusation because of her and you were helping me. Listen to me you have to win her back. I can't see you both in this condition. You both can't live without each other then why the pain?
Sanskar: What do I do? She doesn't even want to see my face. And I deserve it. She's right. I hurt her so much. I caused her so much pain. She didn't deserve any of it.
Arjun: Tell her the truth then! She deserves to know the truth. Even if she leaves you after that at least she would know the true reason you did that. She won't think anymore that there was something lacking in her and that's why you cheated on her. Tell her the truth! And I'm with you in this!
Sanskar looks at him and gives a
Sanskar: Ok I'll tell her she deserves to know it all. She needs to know that I still love her. I have always loved her.
Back in the hall
Ruhi: Swara come here!
Swara: What happened?
Aadya: Oh my God! Swara did you forget?!
Swara: Forget what?
Ananya: Yep she's forgotten. I'm wondering if she even prepared for it.
Swara: Guys what are you talking about? What did I forget?
Ruhi, Aadya, Ananya: The surprise! For Arjun bhai and Riya bhabhi!
Swara: Oh that! Don't worry about that! I've come full prepared!
Aadya: And would you care to tell us what you have prepared?
Swara: Here! The pen drive.
Aadya: Swara. My dear sister. You do realise this an engagement not a business meeting right?
Ananya: Aadya! Let her speak first.
Aadya: Ok ok!
Swara: Yes Aadya I do know it's not a meeting.(giving a sarcastic smile). Anyways back to the pen drive. This contains a video and whilst everyone is busy watching it, Ruhi will go upstairs to the left side and I will go to the right, then we will pull the rope on the count of three and flowers will fall on them along with family photos. So how's the plan?
Ruhi: Amazing!
Aadya: Ok you weren't thinking of turning this into a business meeting. That's fine then.
Swara glares at her.
Aadya: Alright alright! It's not bad.
Ananya: It's awesome!
They all share a hug.
Ananya: By the way where did Bhai go?
