Prerna was stunned when Shivani narrated everything on the phone call, which she made her feel guilty about following Prerna from the hospital and salon. She was the only one who informed Veena about the marriage proposal, not Rishab. The phone slipped from Prerna's hand as the news left her stunned.

A lone tear drop fell from her eyes. She felt guilty as she has misinterpreted Rishab. She still remembered when she has intentionally mixed a spoonful of sugar into Rishab's juice.

However, Prerna could have stopped Rishab from having the juice but it was too late. He unconsciously fell down on the floor and nothing was in her control.

She was feeling guilty she has done it deliberately to hurt him. Without wasting time she called Mehra who informed her about Dr. Qureshi, Rishab's regular doctor.

Mehra assured her not to worry when the doctor examined Rishab, "Don't worry the sugar was enough to digest, so didn't turn into the poison", widening her eyes, she drank the blood formed in her throat.

Dr. Qureshi however suggested that they have to take care of him at least for three consecutive day. She nodded affirmatively. She was literally feeling guilty.

Rishab was taking a rest when Prerna covered him with a duvet. She wasn't able to sleep till the 2'O clock in the morning. She was restless. She looked down from the window. The night was dark the vehicles were still passing by the road. She did not have any peace in her life.

"How could I do this to anyone?", The thought echoed in her ears. She closed her eyes tight and covered her ears, an attempt to stop the echo in her head.

She looked at him from the spot where she was, "I believed you did very wrong watching him all unconscious, in the deep slumber.

"Ek pal ke liye main itna behek gayi ki..." She hated herself for what she tried to do.

She pressed her lips when tears fell down her eyes. "I did wrong, very wrong.... I am sorry," she said looking at him.

"I regret it", she looked at the sky, as if she was asking for pardon.

The very next morning, Prerna was preparing breakfast and took it to his room. Rishab was buttoning his blazer as he picked up the bag to leave. He reached to the door where she was standing. "You need rest," she suggested him nervously.

"Do you really think?", Sarcastically replied he as if he didn't care about her.

She closed her eyes tight, "I know you are not in the mood. I know you didn't like my welcome, " said she.

"You are right, because it was not very welcoming of you to make someone ill," he taunted her with a grin.

She nervously apologized, "I am really sorry for that. It was mere misunderstanding!" She looked down to the floor ashamed.

He snatched away the breakfast tray from her hand mercilessly and kept it on the table. He pinned her tight to the wall, "Mere misunderstanding? Do you have any idea, that your mere misunderstanding might have killed me", he punched his fist on the wall, which frightened her.

Her lips escaped a gasp, "I know. But I didn't do it deliberately", she closed her eyes again in fear.

He left his hold from her, "How come?"

"Masi told me on the phone that you don't like juice with sugar. I just wanted you to feel bad," she became fearful but confessed the truth.

"Don't lie", he said not believing her.

"You can play the phone call recording now!" she fearlessly challenged him.

He took a deep breath as he thought for a while. "Masi is the only one who knows everything about me!"

He came near to her and warned her, "If it's a lie, then you will have to face a tiger, not a shark !"

"Now promise, you would not go to office !", she asked as he nodded hesitantly.
