Pragya is tensed as Prachi is not seen. She comes and asks everyone where Prachi is. Pallavi comes there.
“ they went out.” Replies Pallavi.
“ they?” asks Pragya.
“ yes, Ranbhir and Prachi.” Tells Pallavi.
“ But Prachi didn’t inform me?” says Pragya.
“ well, after whatever happened yesterday, Prachi needs a break so Ranbhir took her out. U were sleeping so they couldn’t inform u. u don’t mind right?” asks Pallavi.
“ no, I don’t. If she is with Ranbhir then she is safe.” Tells Pragya and searches for someone.
“ are u searching for someone?” asks Dadi.
“ yes, that is …… nothing.” Saying this Pragya leaves from there.
Pragya’s pov
“ Where is Rhea? She left home last night and she didn’t return yet. I hope she is safe.”
In the tree house
Rhea wakes up. She sees Ishaan sleeping next to her and sees herself covered by his coat. She smiles looking at him. She reminisces the time she has spent with him. She tries to touch his face but he wakes up. She acts sleeping. He sees her and smiles.
“ stop acting .” says Ishaan.
Rhea opens one eye and smiles and opens both her eyes.
“ good morning” says Ishaan.
“ how did u know?” asks Rhea.
“ well, Sun has come. So it’s morning.” Tells Ishaan.
“ haha, ur sense of humour is very bad. I didn’t ask u about the morning. I asked how did u know that I wasn’t sleeping.” Asks Rhea.
“ well, people who are close to heart can be easily understood.” Says Ishaan
“ what?” asks Rhea.
Ishaan gets tensed realizing what he just said.
“ well, I think we should leave.” Tells Ishaan.
“ no, I don’t wanna go home. Not now atleast. Can I stay here, please?” asks Rhea.
“ no, this is outskirts and it is not safe here. Ok fine, come with me to my house.” Tells Ishaan.
“ what? No. how can I come?” asks Rhea.
“ I am not asking u to come as my wife, come as my friend. ”tells Ishaan.
“ who is ur wife? Ur parents were also there yesterday. I can’t face them.” Tells Rhea.
“ ok,no one will know u are at my home. Not even my parents.” Says Ishaan.
Rhea reluctantly agrees.
“ Really, Ranbhir? Hiking? Didn’t u want anything better?” asks Prachi.
“ come on, Prachi. I thought u are a strong girl. And we are almost there.” Tells Ranbhir.
“ u have been telling this since an hour. And u didn’t let me eat breakfast too. Are u planning to torture me in the name of bucket list?” asks Prachi.
“ why do u ask so may questions?” saying this ranbhir pulls her with him.
They reach a small hotel, which is made out of wood.
” wow, Ranbhir this is so nice and open.” Tells Prachi.
“ come now.” Saying this he takes her inside.
They get freshen up. Ranbhir brings breakfast. They eat together.
“ is it nice?” asks Ranbhir.
“ yes, but it is different from outside food. It is like….” Ranbhir interrupts Prachi.
“ home made?” asks Ranbhir.
“ yes. ” says Prachi and looks at Ranbhir who is giving her a look to guess.
“ Ranbhir, did u make this?” asks Prachi.
“ well, yes. This hotel allows the customers to make their own food. And I know u love gobi paratha. So I learnt it for u. I always wanted to make these for u. now, I got the chance.” Replies Ranbhir to which Prachi smiles.
At Mehra mansion
Purab, Abhi and Pragya are looking at Arhana who didn’t notice them. Suddenly they notice.
“ what are u looking at ?”asks Aryan.
“ we are looking at u both, the way u are stuffing urself like hamsters.” Says Purab.
“ we are not hamsters.” Tells Shahana.
“ people eat according to their class. U see high class people eat in a classy style. Whereas low class people eat like u. but Aryan what is wrong with u?” asks Alia.
Shahana feels bad and remaining everyone get pissed off at Alia’s comments.
“ mom……” says Aryan but he gets interrupted by Purab.
“ well, Alia is right Aryan. U know when we were kids, we had nothing. We were also middle class. At that time ur mother used to eat like this. Well, worst than this. U know she used to used to use her whole palm to eat. Infact sometimes she used to bite her palm as she used to stuff it too much. Right, Alia?” asks Purab.
Alia fumes in anger and leaves from there.
“ dad, we have something important. So we will leave now?” says Aryan.
“ even I have something important to talk to u. about ur honeymoon?” says Purab to which Arhana turns red with shy.
“ dad ? what are u saying?”asks Aryan.
“ what? Everyone will go to honeymoon after their wedding.” Says Purab.
“ yes, but….”Aryan gets a call and saying it is important he leaves from there with Shahana.
In car
Aryan speaks to the private investigator.
“ shahana, I appointed an investigator yesterday night itself. He has some information. I will go and meet him. And u know what u should do , right?” asks Aryan to which Shahana nods in agreement.
“ we reached our honeymoon, Shahana.” Says Aryan and realizes what he just said , Shahana gives a shocked look.
“ sorry, by mistake. We reached Sunny bhai’s house.” Aryan corrects himself.
“ I will see u later.” Saying this Shahana was about to leave but Aryan holds her.
“ I know we have just got married and we should be enjoying our life, but I am asking u to do all these things. I am sorry.” Aryan gets interrupted.
“ don’t be. I ma ur wife and it’s my responsibility to share ur pain and sadness. And whatever I am doing , I am doing at my own will and I am happy to help u.”says Shahana.
On hearing this, Aryan smiles and kisses on her forehead.
“after all this issue gets solved, I will give u a proper wedding and a honeymoon. I promise.” Says Aryan.
“ I will be looking forward.”saying this Shahana kisses on his cheek and leaves from there.
Aryan smiles looking at her.
In Disha’s house.
Kiara’s pov
“ what happned at Mehra mansion, yesterday night? Nobody told me anything. What’s going on? This cold monster has locked himself in the room and hasn’t come out. And aunty also is slightly depressed, so I can’t ask her. I can’t see them like this. I want to help them but without knowing anything, how will I help them?“
Just then bell rings. Kiara finds Shahana on opening the door.
“ shahana?” tells Kiara.
Hearing Shahana’s name, Sunny and Disha come there. Shahana runs into Sunny’s arms and hugs him.
“ finally u came down.” Says Kiara to which Sunny sighs.
“ why? What happened?”asks Shahana.
“ I don’t know, but ever since they got back from the party, there are behaving weirdly.” Complains Kiara.
Shahana understands and looks at Sunny and then looks at Kiara.
“ di, there is something u should know?” saying this Shahana shows Rhea’s confession video to Kiara.
At café
“hi, I am Aryan Khanna. U said u had information from my dad’s past, what is it?”asks Ishaan.
“ yes sir. Ur father Purab Khanna was married to Bulbul Arora. This woman.” Saying this the man shows Purab and Bulbul’s photo to Aryan.
“ but this woman died on the day of her reception.” Says the man leading Aryan to remember Sunny’s words.
“ and this woman, Disha singh is your father’s second wife. He married her nearly after one year of his first wife’s death. And they had a son, Sunny Khana.” Says the man showing their photo. Aryan caresses the pic.
“ why did they break up? ” asks Aryan.
“ due to an incident happened 20 years ago. Mrs. Disha Khanna believed that ur father had an affair with Alia Mehra when she saw them together in the hotel room. So they broke up.” Says the man shocking Aryan.
“ what? How could that be?” says Aryan.
Aryan’s pov
Oh my god. Where is this story taking me? I thought Disha aunty was wrong but…. I am getting confused now. No, I can’t come to any decision sooner. I have to find the real truth.
“ I want u to investigate more deeply. And I want u to investigate, Disha singh’s past too.” Says Aryan.
“ I investigated that also sir. She comes from a village in Punjab. Disha singh and ur father were very happy till they stayed together. There is nothing suspicious to know about that time. But when Disha singh left ur father, she was pregnant. She didn’t let anyone know. ”
“ what are u saying?” asks a shocked Aryan.
“ yes, sir. I found this info with great difficulty as no one was aware about this. But as she was not healthy, her delivery was not successful.” Replies the investigator.
