Episode 17
Mehak was in her room itself. She was not redy to face her family. She was not certain about their reactions. So much had happen in a few hours. Soo much drama. She thinks about her life. She wonders where it is going. She thinks about Ajay, how he asks her who do she feel for. She asks herself will she ever be able to admit.
Her chain of thought was broken by Sonal’s call.
Sonal: Mehak?
M: haam…
Sonal: are you fine?
M:hmm
Sonal: everything is going to be fine.
M: how do you know?
Sonal: Shaurya called me. He told me everything. You did the right thing. This is what we expect from you.
M: we??
Sonal: haamm.
M: will you tell me the names?
Sonal: me and…
M: and??
Sonal: Shaurya
M: what!! Shaurya!!
Sonal: Yes, Shaurya..
Mehak was totally confused. She don’t understand what was going on. Sonal explained her everything that happened a day before.
###Flash back###

Sonal: hi Shaurya, what make you call me?
S: I need your help. Only you can help me.
Sonal: what?

Sonal: can you come to my office?
S: ok. Thank you.
Sonal: ok.
S: please don’t say anything to Mehak.
Sonal: ok.
Sonal was confused. She was impatient till their meeting.
Sonal: tell me Shaurya. What is the matter?
They were in her office cafe.
S: it’s about Mehak.
Sonal: what happen? Will you please break the suspense?
S: do you think Ajay is right for Mehak?
Sonal: what do you mean?
S: look Sonal; you are Mehak’s best friend. Can’t you see she is not happy with all this.
Sonal looks at Shaurya.
Sonal: what are you trying to say Shaurya?
S: Ajay is not the right person for her. She has the right to be happy, to be cared to be loved. She needs someone to support her, to reach her dreams. Ajay is snatching her happiness, her dreams her everything. Don’t you think we have to do something?
Sonal: what you want?

K chachi: did she say so?
S: no. She didn’t say anything.
K chachi: then?
Shaurya looks at Sonal.
Sonal: we feel so chachi. She is not happy. She is compromising everything for your happiness. She doesn’t want to make you all sad. You have also seen how Ajay is making her leave her job.
Sonal: you know na chachi, how ambitious she is about her job. He not even lets her work after marriage. Don’t you think our Mehak deserves better?
K Chachi was silent.
Sonal: Chachi??
K chachi: yes.
Sonal: you don’t say anything.
K chachi: I had a feeling, if we were hurrying about this relation. But I don’t know about all these. She is upset from a few days. My poor girl.
