No one knows why...That's when Rhea thinks to herself' Nani is right, It's better not to tell Buji and Dad the truth, because buji hates my Mumma so so much i don't know what she may do in anger. ' Meanwhile Neil remembers the events that took place after Pragya, Ragini and Kiara left the mansion...He remembers Rhea going into initial shock and Sarla too walking away from their family as she was too pained to see her daughter again and had no strength in herself to console her grand child...He also remembers the promise he made to Rhea that he would take her to her mother if he came out of the shock...as soon as he said said those words the girl had come out of her shock. However, he had observed that she would often question him as to when he would take her and she herself made him book tickets for the next week...Neil had messaged Ragini's manager informing them that the next meeting would take place in Mumbai and the manager had happily obliged unaware about the exact details of the events that had taken place in Delhi...Neil also remembers how he made everyone promise to not tell Abhi anything as that would hurt him deeply and he may not able to recover from it as not one person was involved. It was 3 people and bringing them up could cause a lot of shock and panic...Neil is broken from his thoughts when Abhi calls out to him asking about his meeting...He nods saying that it went well and that the rest of the deal would happen in Mumbai as the owner's home cum office...Neil also tells Abhi that he would be taking Rhea with him and that it would be a good break for her amongst all this chaos...Abhi agrees quickly shockingly as he was always over protective about Rhea

Meanwhile, their private jet has landed in Mumbai and they are all not talking to each other...Everyone is lost in their own world thinking about their own family members...Kiara is the only one who isn't bothered by all this because she has experienced worse things in her life...She remembers how she and Nikhil didn't die and she had to live with him for one month until a private detective hired by King had someone find her...How King offered to take her home, but she refused because of all the things that Nikhil had told her about the Mehra's...She promised to never go there but deep in her heart, missed her mother...King tried to provide Kiara with the best of necessities but then soon, with his career and health going down the drain got involved with the Mafia king, who later gunned him down...That day, she promised herself that she would take care of her mother, who she had just found on the day of his death...

One week passes by very quickly, and everyone is avoiding each other as much as they can both in Mumbai and Delhi...Ragini and Pragya get busy with their work and only look at each other when their manager informs them about the meeting with Dr Neil...Ragini sighs as they have gone ahead with the deal, they would have to keep seeing him again and again for another two years at least ...Rhea stays to herself and didn't even call her Nani because she didn't know what to say to her...Sarla Maa has completely disappeared and no one knows what's going on...Dida and her grandchildren are growing closer but they all miss Ragini, even Ranbeer who tries to ignore the feeling the most...Abhi, Vikram and Ranbir Kohli get busy in business as they have a gig coming up
