DD enters the house and sees Mona and Samaira sitting in the dark. She tries to turn on the light, but it doesn’t come on. Mona says they cut off the power supply, so Bablu and Pratima have gone to make enquiries.
DD asks why they would cut off the power! Samaira says maybe it’s because they kept sending notifications, but it wasn’t attended to.
DD reminds her that she handles a lot of things at the same time and forgot to pay, so Samaira could have paid it as she is earning now.
Samaira says she has no money left, besides she takes care of her own share of the responsibilities and she never forgets them. She and Mona leaves the living room.
Roshni sadly walks on the road.
Sid and Yash are drunk and laughing.
Yash says the girl he’s in love with, has the most beautiful smile in the whole world!
Sid brings out a photo of Roshni and stares at it. Yash asks to let him see. Sid says he will see it later, but not now. He says he never imagined his wife will go away from him, but she did. Yash shows him a Chinese lantern floating in the sky. He says he does not even have a woman and he’s giving Sid advice. He laughs.
Sid tells him to profess his love to the Woman. Yash say he’s afraid. Sid encourages him to tell her. They hug one another in their drunken state.
Sid say he has never been this drunk in his life. He asks Yash to tell him the name of the Woman he loves.
Yash says “Roshni.”
Sid is shocked, but tries not to show it.
Mona asks Samaira why she didn’t pay the electricity bill when she has enough Money? She says DD has been generous to them for a long time now, they are guests in her house, and DD even paid her tuition fees in the US. Samaira says all of that doesn’t matter to her, as it’s because of DD’s daughter that she is in her present condition; all her Money belongs to her and Mona, so when she saves enough, they will move out to their own place!
Yash and Sid looks at the Chinese lanterns. Sid wishes Roshni could also see it.
Roshni on the other side sees the Lantern and thinks of Sid. She asks herself why she can’t forget him and why he had to do what he did to her?
Yash escorts Sid downstairs to the hotel lobby and invites him to spend the night in a room at the hotel; he will take care of the bill, while Sid takes care of the drinks. They start laughing again.
Roshni is about to enter her room in the hotel when she hears Yash laughing. She looks and sees him talking to someone, but she doesn’t see the person’s face.
Yash says goodnight to Sid.
In the morning, Sid wakes up and gets a call from Yash. Sid asks who he is?
Yash reminds him they met last night.
Sid remembers and thanks him for the room. Yash invites him downstairs for breakfast.
Sid tries to protest, but Yash hangs up.
Roshni enters Yash’s room and teases him about being drunk the night before. Yash tells her he met someone from India and he slept in the hotel. He tells her to join them for breakfast, so she can meet him.
Raj calls Sid and says Bablu told him that Roshni knows he’s in Bangkok as well, so she might plan to leave now.
Sid says he won’t let it happen. He picks out Roshni’s photograph from under the pillow and uses his phone camera to take a photo of it, then he zooms in. He sees the lanyard on her neck is written ‘Yash Garments’. He runs out of the room and gets into an elevator.
Yash and Roshni approach the elevator, but Sid gets in and leaves before they get to it.
Roshni asks Yash for the guy’s name?
Yash says he forgot to ask for his name, but they will ask him at breakfast. Sid is on the street showing people the photo of Roshni.
Roshni asks Yash why he didn’t ask for his good friend’s name?
Yash asks why she has never told him what her ex husband’s name is, or even shown him a photo as well? He says he’s sure his new friend was in a hurry and had things to do.
Roshni says she just thinks he’s selfish, and Yash must have paid for the drinks! Yash says the guy paid and not everyone is selfish as she thinks. Roshni says a stranger does not become a good friend without an ulterior motive! Yash says not everyone is like her selfish ex-husband who left such a gorgeous and beautiful Woman. Roshni tells him he’s flirting with her again.
Sid is on the street. He stops a taxi, and Roshni happens to stop the same taxi. They both get into the backseat, and turn to see each other. They stare in shocked silence. Roshni tries to get out, but Sid holds her hand. He has tears in his eyes as he stares at her.
She looks at him lovingly and they bring their faces close. Roshni struggles again and gets out of the cab.
Sid runs after her. She runs to the dock and gets on a boat.
Sid gets on with her and begs her to listen to him because he has not been able to to do anything for the past 6 months. He says he knows she hates him. Roshni says he’s right and she doesn’t want to talk to him!
Sid tells her to look at him because she knows if she looks at him, she won’t be able to stay upset with him.
Roshni says it’s not true! Sid says he knows it’s the truth, but if she disagrees, then she should leave him and go. Roshni stays.
Sid says he knew she wouldn’t go because he knows, and she knows that she still loves him as much as he loves her, so she should accept the truth. Roshni is quiet.
Sid says he knows he shouldn’t have lied; he did it over time and time again, but only did it because he loves her and couldn’t bear the thought of losing her. He planned to tell her the truth, but whenever he tried, he found he was distancing her from her Mum, and that was not his intention, so he continued lying because he had no choice.
They hold each other and Sid says he thought she would understand his reasons for lying, but when the circumstances changed, he couldn’t do anything about it; in the last 6 months he has thought about her, every second, and he knows their love is the type that will stand the test of time.
Roshni says she used to trust him more than anyone else, but not anymore! She asks what makes him think she will fall in love with him when she looks in his eyes! She says she is looking straight into his eyes, but she doesn’t love him; she remembers all the lies he told her!
She says since he wants a chance to explain, this is his chance, but there is one condition; She wants him to give her Mother everything he took from her, and to get Rajveer back to Samaira because it’s his fault they got a divorce! She says he won’t be able to gather all the pieces of her broken heart, her family has suffered for the past 6 months because of what he did, and if he can take away all the pain, She will get back with him.
Sid says he can’t change the past but he can promise her a life without any lies. He begs her for one more chance because he can’t do anything without her by his side.
Roshni calls him a liar because their relationship was based on many lies, so it’s not as easy as he thinks, everyone knows what the truth is and he won’t be able to fool anyone!
She says she’s warning him for the last time not to come close to her as he doesn’t mean anything to her, he is as good as dead to her! She tries to walk away, but Sid grabs her hand, and says if that’s what she wants, then he will leave her alone, but she will be the one to come running into his arms, and he will be waiting.
Roshni runs off the boat.
DD says she’s not hungry. Grandmother asks if she’s not hungry or just doesn’t want to eat?
She says DD has always been passionate about her business, but today, she forgot an interview.
DD says what if Sid finds Roshni?
Grandmother says he’s her husband.
DD says Sid is not good enough for her daughter, and she will stop him.
The doorbell rings and it’s the lady who bought the defective jewellery at DD’s former place of work. She says she realises it was wrong of her to have accused DD because it was her boss who was shady.
DD thanks her and asks why she came? Her husband says they want DD to design jewellery for their daughter who is getting married in 2 days. DD agrees to do it.
When they leave, DD tells Grandmother that she doesn’t know if she can do it? Grandmother tells her that she knows she can do it and has complete faith in her.
DD says she will have to take a loan from the bank to do it better, since her savings won’t be enough.
Roshni sits on a boat, crying. She remembers what Sid said to her about still loving him and that she will come running to him.
She gets a call from Yash.
He reminds her She’s supposed to have lunch with him. Roshni says she won’t be able to make it.
She ends she call.
Yash wonders what could be wrong and if Sid is in Bangkok?
Roshni cries, saying Sid should stop hurting her. She tells herself repeatedly that she hates him!
Simran is trying to call Sid, but couldn’t get through. Raj arrives and she asks if he has heard from Sid? Raj doesn’t respond. Simran asks why he and Sid have shut her out?
Raj says they are just trying to keep her out of trouble. He says he’s in touch with Sid constantly and they know if she talks to Sid, but all he will tell her is to leave Roshni.
Simran says he won’t understand what goes on in a Mother’s heart. Raj says if She’s really a Mother like she says, then she would understand what Sid and Roshni are going through, but he knows she hates Roshni now. He complains that she has changed and she is a different person. He says he knows Sid and Sid won’t give up easily, he will manage to convince Roshni to come back!
Rajveer is watching. He thinks aloud that if Sid convinces Roshni to come back, then he would have to leave, but he has nowhere to go, so he will make sure Roshni doesn’t come back!
Roshni is in her room when she hears on the news that there has been an accident and Sid was involved and taken back to India via flight. She screams his name!
Sid is being wheeled into the hospital theatre on a stretcher.
Simran, Raj, Krutika and Rajveer follow the stretcher till it enters the theatre.
Simran blames Roshni again for what is happening. Raj tells her to stop it and consider their Child who is fighting for his life; Sid is like this because She separated him from Roshni! He warns that if anything happens to Sid, then he doesn’t want to continue with life, and he will also not allow any of them to live in peace!
