Ishu was eagerly waiting for raman somewhere she had faith in hey love.. She was hoping he would come & take her from here..

Harshad hurriedly run into marriage hall.. He’s injured.. He couldn’t find ishu anywhere due to crowd.. Even Gupta’s were avoiding him..

Finally he manage to reach her room after an hour

Arnav : operation going on.. But where’s ishu di..

Everyone see ishu rushing into hospital in tears… & a man hurriedly walking behind her..

She’s wearing mangalsutra & sindoor.. Which clearly indicated she’s married… Raman’s heart broke seeing it others were shocked.. He move in to operation theatre & ishu too go in..

Arshi swasan ask harshad what went wrong.. He explain them some 2 hours later ishra & other docs come out of OT & break the news that Anjali Rajeev slipped to coma.

Everyone cry a lot but some how ishra hargun manage everyone.. But no one was there to console them.

Later that night – 2am

Finally everyone were settled in their room. Harshad was standing in balcony crying silent tears which he had held till now.. Shagun come there & add more to his agony..

Shagun : you’re not Raj right.. You lied to me.. ( she hold his collar) just to prove me you’re ready you drove the car shoo fast & caused this accident. Di & jijaji are in this state because of you.. How can you do this… ( she collapse on floor crying..

Harshad : ( try to hold her) simmo..I..

She shrug off his hand..

Shagun : I hate you.. I hate you.. ( she run away)

Harshad couldn’t tell the truth & spoil other relations so he kept quiet accepting the accusations only be knew what was wrong with car why that accident occurred & who really was responsible for it. To save that person he sacrificed his relation

That was the longest night for raman.. He felt ishu cheated him.. One misunderstanding made her take this big step.. He couldn’t digest it.. Was this the trust she had on him. He started hating her.. Little did he knew they both were victims of trap.. Raman turned into drunkard from that day.. That day changed the life of all 8 buddies

After 2 days abhimanyu leave to Lucknow leaving ishu here as he too was not very interested in marriage he asks her to complete her studies & practice..
