Abhi : you will have to convince her
Purab calls Bulbul to cancel the deal but she denies
Bulbul : Mr Mehra, my team has researched a lot and then finalized this place, and I thought you were very good business man, just because your siblings got married, you are dragging that in your work, not so smart
Purab ; you are crossing your limit, I will find you another place and you also had lied to me about your identity
Bulbul : lie is not only told when the other person does not know the truth, you already knew everything
Purab : you love to play games right, so lets start, I will not kick you out of here
Bulbul : even if you tried then I have legal options too
Purab : you won’t have to worry about that because very soon you will leave this place by yourself
Bulbul : three weeks (forwards her hand) you will either force me to leave the office or I will make permanent place here
Purab : fine, and if you manage to stay here then I will accept defeat, if I win you will have to do what I say
Bulbul ; I accept

Arpita : she went to her house, don’t forget you have to go at her home in the evening
Abhi : okay mom
Arpita : wait, a minute Abhi (holds his hand)
“Yes mom, do you want something” Abhi says casually
Arpita : things are not right between you and Pragya right, why do I feel you are hiding something from me
Abhi : no mom, its nothing like that, just everything happened so fast
Arpita : I am your mom, even before you I can sense your problem, what happened
Abhi : everybody knows that I married Pragya only to save her image, even at the cost of this family reputation but she is not happy with all this
Arpita ; I am woman before being a mother, I can understand her pain, no girl would want to compromise in such marriage but Abhi you both have made decision to give this marriage a chance, at least take some time understanding each other
Abhi : what should I do mom? one side is my friendship other is my responsibility
Arpita : Abhi, friendship is only good when it stays in limit but now Pragya is your responsibility, every decision of yours should have her consent as well, I suggest you both go out for few days and you have not taken off from your office since long time
Abhi : okay mom, but after yesterday Pragya does not want to talk with me
Arpita : for how long will she stay angry, I am surprised till today you were bound with every responsibility and now you are overlooking your important relation, I can see her making efforts but that will only work when you will leave behind your other relations
Abhi : I will talk with dad, we will go Shimla for few days
Arpita : everything will be fine
Abhi shares his plight with Purab of cheating with everybody
Abhi ; everybody is thinking this marriage real but what will happen after 6 months when Rajiv will come back
Purab ; bhai, I don’t think this is the right time either to tell the truth, does Pragya bhabhi knows about this all
Abhi ; what should I tell her that I married her for 6 months, society will mock her if I leave her after all this
Purab : you have complicated situation for everybody by taking this big step, and do you think even after separated from you bhabhi will go back to the person who has left her on mandap as far as i got to know about her
Abhi : I just hope Rajiv comes back soon and clear all this misunderstandings, I can’t handle it anymore
Precap : Pragya agrees to go with Abhi at shimla on Arpita’s insistence, During the trip somebody stalks her all the way. Bulbul and Purab gets locked inside the store room at night
