In london...

Ruhi, Raavi , Rhea and Khanak were casually sitting and talking , when they heard Raavi's scream.

" what happened to her?" Khanak said and the three of them ran inside the room.

" Raavi, what happened, why did you scream?" Ruhi asked her.

" Ruhi , wo --- wo .. ye..wo " Raavi said indicating towards her phone, which was lying on the bed.

" Are, what ye wo ye wo? What did you see , that made you scream so hard? Let me also see." Rhea said and took the phone. There was zero reaction on her face after seeing the picture, she normalised herself and said," Are yaar, ye bhoot ki photo dekhkar dar gayi, paagal ladki"

Ruhi laughed at her " Tera kuch nahi ho sakta" she said.

Rhea looked at Raavi , and then at Ruhi and then Khanak, who was staring at her like she knew something was odd.

" Ruhi , isko lekar jao yaar yahan se, bekar me hi itna dara diya" khanak said.

Ruhi took Raavi outside the room, in the living area. Now Rhea and khanak were all alone in the room.

" What is it Rhea?" she asked Rhea, on which she gave her the phone. .

Khanak saw that picture and said " ye, kya hai "

" I guess, this is Aahan's " Rhea said taking the phone back. .

" Aahan's ?" Khanak said.

" I'm not falling for his fake dramas" Rhea said.

" Rhea, I have known Aahan since childhood, we may not be close but one thing I can say about him is that he never pretends to be something fake" Kahank said.

" He has made my bestfriend cry, he deserves this"

" This picture clearly says that he's hurt too"

" Let him be. Let's him bear more pain. Let him shed more tears. Until he experience the same pain as Ruhi " Rhea said and stormed outside . Khanak followed her.

" what happened to her?" Ruhi asked looking at rhea, who just went outside.

" Nothing. She went to that Rubal guy" Khanak said.

" oh, okay" ruhi said.

" Hey Raavi, can I talk to you for a minute?" khanak whispered in Raavi's ear.

Raavi looked at her and nodded a yes.

" Ruhi let's head out na" Khanak said

" Haan, yeah, after all I'm here for fun" Ruhi said.

.

" So.. you get ready , then we'll go out" kahank said.

" Sure, Raavi, let's get ready " Ruhi said looking at Raavi.

" Haan, you go.. I'm coming " Raavi said.

" okay" she said and went inside the room.

" Haan bolo, kya baat karni hai" Raavi said turning her face towards khanak.

" I just wanted to know your point of view in this matter" kahank said.

"honestly saying , Ruhi is hurt but Aahan is hurt too, he has loved Ruhi his whole life, and he regret his actions. He deserves a second chance" Raavi said.

" Hmm, but it's her choice na.. its for Ruhi for decide, what to do or what not to do" kahank said.

" but we have to leave her to decide, Rhea is getting too much involved in her personal life. I know she is possessive for Ruhi , but she can't make decisions for her. " Raavi said.

" Look Raavi, I don't know anything related to you guys, but I know Aahan, he may be impulsive but he's a good guy. I think I have to get involved " khanak said.

" I don't Know, but if you could do something for her, that would be really nice" Raavi said.

" Okay then, time to go to India. Finally." Khanak said with a bit of excitement.

" Wohoo girl, its like you were waiting for an opportunity " Raavi said.

" Yup, now go and get ready" Khanak said.

In Mumbai...

" How can you be so careless Anurag bhai" Maanav said from the other side of the phone.

" Yaar maine kya kia, mai to bas haat dhone ko gaya tha. Ab itni se der me tumhara bhai chu-mantar ho gya to mai kya Karun " Anurag said justifying himself. .

( I just went to wash my hands, and your brother decided to disappear then where is my fault in this?)

" Yaar mai unse goa jaane ko kehne waala tha" Maanav said.

( I wanted to take him to Goa) .

" Goa, have you gone mad? Tu to aaise bol rha jaise tu abhi usko bolega ,or wo Khushi Khushi maan jayga" Anurag said.

( You are talking like , you'll ask him to come with you and he'll happily agree to accompany you)

" Offo bhai, trust me on this. We can help bhai" Maanav said.

" We? You and who?" Anurag asked.

" Ishaan . Do you remember?" Maanav said.

" Wo Shekhawat's ka bigda hua ladka" Anurag said.

" Shut up bhai, he's my bestfriend " Maanav said.

" Ok ok. But, if you're taking him to goa, I'm coming with you" Anurag said.

" fine, but first let's find Aahan bhai" Maanav said.

" Haan, pta nahi ye ladka kahan chala gaya" Anurag said.

" I'll try to track his location " Maanav said and disconnected the call.

3 days later

Aahan was driving his car very fast in the highway. After 20 minutes, he reached a location .

It was some hill top, from where the whole city was visible.

He stepped out of the car, with a bottle of alcohol in his hand. He went to the edge and screamed out loud " Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Ruuuhhhhhhhiiiiiiii"and bent down in his knees . His voice echoed back . .

His voice screamed pain, anyone who heard him can clearly feel the pain in his voice.

Like Ruhi, he was also shattered. The pain was now consuming him, his was losing himself, he was losing his interest in life.

" Agar meri Ruhi hi mere saath nahi rahegi to mai jeekar kay karunga"

( If my Ruhi is not with me, then what I'll do with this life)

" I gave her pain. I hurt her. I don't deserve to live" He stood up and took his step forward to jump from the cliff, but before that , two strong pairs of arms pulled him back.

" Have you gone MAD? Ye kya karne jaa raha tha" Anurag slapped him .

( What were you doing?)

" What did you stop me? Mar jaane diya hota. Kyun roka . I'm a monster and I don't deserve to live" Aahan said . He fell down on his knees and started punching the ground.

" kyun roka, kyun roka mujhe. Kyunn??" he was crying and punching the ground.

Maanav held him back to stop him and Anurag hugged him .

" Please Bhai, please don't do this. We will find her soon. I promise. " Maanav said.

" Yes. We'll find her soon and then we'll tell him the truth " Anurag said caressing his head.

He wiped his tears and said , " look, we found a clue and now we just have to follow it"

" That secret code of yours? " Aahan glared at him.

" Kaisa insaan hai, abhi bhi aankh dikha rha" He said on which, Maanav laughed.

" We don't have anything Anurag. She won't come back" Aahan said .

" You're wrong, we got a clue but, first let's clean you up, You're bleeding from everywhere" Maanav said..

" No. You're lying. First tell me what you got , then only I'm coming with you guys" Aahan said.

" Don't act like Child Aahan, let's get back to home, your wounds will get infected if not treated in time." Anurag said.

" I don't care, all I care about is her and she's not with me" Aahan said.

" Bhai, I'll tell you. Ishaan Shekhawat has offered his help. He has more sources compared to us, he can help us in finding Bhabhi" Maanav said.

" Then why are we wasting time, let's go and meet him" Aahan said getting up from his place.

" Bhai but he's in goa, we have to go to goa for that" Maanav said.

" We're leaving today" Aahan said and went to his car. Anurag and Maanav followed him.

" We can't go today" Maanav said.

" Why!?" Aahan asked.

" Because.. because he has an important meeting today so he can't meet us." Maanav said, giving ans excuse to stop him..

" I don't care" Aahan said .

" You're being desperate now, please try to understand" Anurag said.

" Fine, let's go home" Aahan said and soon they reached to Aahan's villa.

" Aahan, you go and take a bath, we're waiting for you here in the living hall" Anurag said..

" Hmm" .

" Aur khabardaar jo sharab ko haat bhi lagaya to" Anurag said in warning tone.

( Don't even think of touching alcohol)

Aahan glared at him again.

" Kyaa?? aaise kya dekh raha hai. Darta nahi hu mai terese" Anurag said stammering.

( Why are you looking like that. I'm not afraid of you).

Aahan ignored him and went up , to his room.

As soon as Aahan left, Anurag took out his phone and called Raavi. She received his call in few rings only.

" Hello , Anurag. Everything alright?" Raavi asked.

" Not at all Raavi, not even a little bit" Anurag said rubbing his temples.

" What happened?" Raavi asked.

" Nothing, have you talked to her ?" Anurag asked.

" She's not ready to talk about him" Raavi replied.

" Do something Raavi, otherwise.." Anurag stopped

his words in between.

" What?? Otherwise what Anurag??" Raavi asked.

Anurag took a deep breath, and said " we would have lost him today"

" What are you saying?" Raavi said.

" Yes baby, he was missing, it took us 3 days to find him and guess what, he was about to jump off the cliff , when we found him. He thinks himself as a monster Raavi. He is hurt, both physically and mentally" Anurag said.

" Physically!?" Ruhi questioned.

" Yeah, he is hurting himself, he has got many wounds and scratches all over his body" Anurag said.

" How's he right now? And where is he?" Raavi asked him.

" We consoled him any how, and sent him to take bath, we're leaving for goa tomorrow. Ishaan Shekhawat is helping us." Anurag said.

" Goa!!" Ruhi said getting astonished.

" Yeah, why are you getting surprised?" Anurag asked.

" Nothing, you just take care. I'll talk to Ruhi" Raavi disconnected the call.

In London.....

After having a conversation with Anurag, Raavi went to Rhea and told her everything.

" Nah, I don't believe this" she said.

" Oh come on Rhea.. don't be such a stone hearted person" Raavi said.

" Stone hearted? I'm not being a stone hearted person Raavi. It's just that, I don't believe that man. He is a filthy lier." Rhea said .

" How can you say that about him?" Raavi said .

Their normal conversation has now turned into a serious argument.

" What else do you expect huh? Jo sach hai wo hai. Jo insaan dhoke se shaadi kar sakta , wo kuch bhi kar sakta hai" Rhea said.

" Wo dhoka nahi tha Rhea" Raavi said

" Wo dhoka hi tha Raavi, and why would you accept it, since you were also involved in his so called marriage plan" Rhea said.

" I just wanted them to be together, and nothing else" Raavi justified herself.

" Oh really, I just don't get it Raavi. Like, are you for real, are you even our bestfriend?" Rhea said.

" You're questioning our friendship now? Fine, Aaj sun le tu bhi . No, I'm not your bestfriend , Bestfriend is a different thing here, I'm not even your friend, because you never considered me one. It was always you and Ruhi, against the world, and me? I was just a third wheel " Raavi said and tears burst out of her eyes. " Just remember one thing Rhea, Ruhi is Married and believe it or not,she loves Aahan. She has always loved him, you're one who's always trying to pull them apart. It's you Rhea Desai. Think about it when your mind is calm" Raavi threw out all her frustration at once .

" I'm leaving today, I can't live here anymore, I have a husband and family to take care of" Raavi said .

After packing all her stuff, she informed Ruhi and left for the airport.

Next day, Aahan, Maanav and Anurag left for goa, early in the morning.
