His mind was filled with innumerous bitter sweet memories of his past as he entered inside. He kept on keeping his steps forward, admiring the house and did not even realise that he was about to collide with a table. It was then when his thoughts were interrupted by a voice. A voice of a sweet and innocent looking lady, who was wearing a pink Patiala Suit warned him saying, “Fateh! Where is your attention? You are about to collide with the table.” He stopped and looked down. Hearing their voice, Harman came downstairs followed by Khushbeer. The lady covered her head and started moving towards them to seek their blessings, but Harman stopped her midway. “It is not required.” He said firmly, while Khushbeer angrily turned his head away from that of the direction where Fateh stood, as if showing that he could not even bear his sight for a second.
Fateh came forward with tears in his eyes and said “Bauji…”, but was stopped midway by the latter, “You lost that right four years ago.”
Fateh said, “But you only called me here…” “I never did. I am tolerating you because you are called here by the Sandhus. But mind you, I will not tolerate it if you even try to come near my daughter.” Saying so, Khushbeer left. Harman asked him to sit with his wife in the living room and not to interfere and left the place.
Meanwhile, two people, a young man nearing his thirties, wearing a kurta pajama and a rudraksh mala in his hand, with tilak on his forehead, stood outside the entrance of Sandhu House with a lady in sari, who looked with a dull face and trembled to enter it. Her mind was engrossed thinking about her life at the place. The man held his hand, looked into her eyes and said, “You should temporarily forget everything and go inside without any hesitation. They need you.” and saying so he took her inside. Her eyes filled with tears as she looked around. They were busy searching for solace. Her mind wandered back to the time when she would spend her entire day playing with her sister. She recalled the love which her family showered on her. The moment she crossed the verandah and meekly kept her foot on the threshold, she collided with a man busy on his phone. He was texting someone, hence apologized without looking up, but the moment he lifted his head and his eyes met with hers, he was taken aback. He was distraught to see her again, that too after four years….he had loved her from the core of his heart, but life had some other plans. Though he had moved on, but the sight of her had stirred all his past emotions and he suddenly recalled everything, their friendship, his love, the happy moments, her betrayal and wickedness and his heartbreak. He turned away, but she held her hand and stopped him, “Amrik…..” He was not wanting to hear anything and freed his hands. She continued, “Amrik… please listen to me once. I am sorry. I know I am a bad person but we were friends, right. Please forgive me.” She pleaded. He angrily replied, “You want me to forgive you? Like seriously? But for what? For using me? I feel ashamed to know that I was your friend once. You used me and destroyed my family. You ruined everything and I can never forget that and will never forgive you Jasmin. I hate you.” A young lady with short hair and dressed in T-shirt and shorts with vermillion over her head and Mangalsutra around her neck, came to Amrik and kept her hand over his shoulder. She consoled him. He took her hand and took her inside. Jasmin and her companion looked on, while Amrik started crying the moment he entered the room. The lady hugged him and consoled him and said, “It was never your fault. You are a strong person. She wronged everyone. You are not to be blamed for it. Stop crying. You need to be powerful. And you don’t look good crying too…” A tearful Amrik replied, “How do I stop myself? She became a bad omen for us Chiranvi. And I aided her, to tear my family apart. How do I forgive myself? I can visualise the entire turn of events in front of my eyes. How do I stop it?”
A flashback revealed that four years ago, Fateh had left for Delhi telling everyone that he had a meeting with the investor there. Jasmin called Amrik to meet him on the outskirts of the pind. Amrik obliged and met her and she told him that she wanted to go to Shimla to come out of the negativity of her broken alliances and asked his help to book a ticket to Shimla for her along with a reservation at the wellness camp. She further asked him to lie to everyone that her college is organising an educational tour to Shimla and create a fake consent form for it and hide the fact from Tejo and somehow stop Tejo from talking to any of the Sandhus until she returns. When he asked why she was lying to everyone, she replied that her family would never send her alone to Shimla. Amrik, head over heels in love with Jasmin gave in to her request and did as was asked. Some days later it was revealed that Fateh and Jasmin were cheating upon Tejo and we’re together in Delhi on false pretexts. Amrik was heartbroken on realising that the girl he loved dearly had been using him for all the time for her selfish needs and to trap his brother and spoil her very own sister’s married life.
Back to the present, Amrik wiped his tears and told his wife Chiranvi that he could not fall weak due to the return of the evil woman and had to stay strong to support his family and they both hugged.
