Iyer House.

Ishita has just returned home after being insulted and thrown out from Bhalla house. She had hoped she could keep up with her act of being Shanno for longer. She was more disappointed about the fact that she won't be able to be around Raman anymore. The fact that she could not find out how Simmi was giving Raman the wrong medication made her all the more frustrated.

Ishita could not stop picturing the look on Raman's face when he asked her to leave. Flashes of all their happy moments ran across her mind.

She wondered if the day would ever come when she would see him happy again, when they'd be together again... when they'd look into each other's eyes and their eyes would say more than words ever could.

In the moment she felt completely defeated and helpless. She wondered what it would take to expose Simmi and Param's evil intentions. Thinking of Simmi and Param her heart gets filled with anger. Her mind then wandered toward Mihika. She could not believe how much Mihika has changed. How could someone like her become a puppet and get manipulated by Simmi and Param. Her mind flashed back to the days when Mihika was the kind hearted and pure soul Ishita had seen since her childhood. 

As hurt as Ishita was she hoped that the day when Mihika realises her mistake would come soon- before it's too late. Before her divorce with Romi gets finalised. She also could not understand why Mihika wanted Ishita and Raman to get divorced. What would Mihika gain from that? What kind of revenge is this-Ishita stalled her divorce hearing so her way of revenge is getting Ishita and Raman divorced?!? But Mihika got what she wanted- Romi has signed the divorce papers now and their divorce will go through. Deep down in her heart Ishita knew that Mihika did not really want to divorce Romi either- she had acted out in a desperate cry for attention. But Simmi and Param had as always taken advantage of the situation and they were now ruining Mihika's life too.

Ishita was pacing non-stop in her room.

Her thoughts then wandered towards her children. Adi and Aliya- how did the state of their marriage become so complicated this early on? They have a lifetime ahead and how could their lives be so complicated already?!? And Aliya- gambling?!? How could she?!? Ishita knew her better.

Ruhi continued to be a mystery. Ishita looked back.

Why was Ruhi so scared during Lohri? She knew it had something to do with Nikhil. What did Nikhil have against her? What was troubling her so much? Ishita decided that she would get to the bottom of this.

And then there was Pihu... how will Ishita protect her now. She knew how badly Simmi had treated her in the past. She had no doubt that when Raman is around no one would harm Pihu. But Raman wasn't himself anymore. He was constantly medicated- because of it he can't see things for what they are. He is oblivious to the fact that their own little daughter is living in constant fear in his own house. How will Ishita protect her? Ishita smiled remembering how happy Pihu was when she helped her with her project.

Ishita felt like a loser. She felt she was failing as a mother and as a wife. No matter how hard she tries she falls short. She isn't able to protect the people whom she loves the most.
Ishita could not help but sit on the floor and cry.

BHALLA HOUSE:
Raman stormed into his room. He sat on his bed and rested his head in his hands. His head was hurting. He felt as if this had happened before. He had this feeling as if Ishita had been thrown out of the house before (he is getting recollections of when Ishita left the house after she accused Param of trying to take advantage of her). He closed his eyes harder and pressed his head against his palms a bit more thinking that this would clear the blurry recollections he is getting in his mind. He tried for a few minutes but he could not remember anything else. If anything his headache got worse. Frustrated Raman opened his eyes and looked around his room. The emptiness stung him deep. He felt as if something had been taken away. He stood up and went to the bathroom. He splashed his face with cold water hoping that it would clear his mind and reduce the intensity of his headache.

As he stepped back into his room he looked around once again. For a second he was half hoping that Shanno would be there rambling in her annoying loud voice and cleaning his room.  
Raman remembers moments when Shanno helped him with his wardrobe and also when she made him eat dinner when he had a stiff neck.

The smile that momentarily appeared on his face quickly faded as he remembered how Ishita has deceived him and his family by entering their house in disguise. His blood boiled with anger. But along with anger he was feeling some other emotion that he could not quite understand. He felt very frustrated and somewhat helpless.

SIMI AND PARAM'S BEDROOM:

Simmi, Param and Mihika are congratulating each other and celebrating.

Simmi: Aaj toh kamal ho gaya. Ishita ki jo thodi bahut izzat is ghar ke logon ke man mein galti se reh gai hogi woh bhi khatam ho gai hogi aaj ke baad. What a great day! Whatever little respect the family had left for Ishita is now all gone.

Mihika: Ishita ka chehara dekhne layak tha. Yahi deserve karti hai woh. Can't forget the look on Ishita's face. This is what she truly deserves.

Param: Haan dil ko chain toh pahuncha but sochne wali baat yeh hai ki Ishita kisi bhi had tak ja sakti hai Raman ke pass rehne ke liye. I mean woh apna accha khasa ghar n uski comforts chod kar ek naukar ban ke humane hi beech reh rahi thi. Servant room mein so rahi thi. Woh itni chalak hai ki papa ji ki di hui kasam bhi usne nahi tootne di n phir bhi woh apne maksad mein kafi aage pahunch gai thi. Isse humne ghar se toh nikal diya but jab tak hum isse Raman ki zindagi se puri tarah se nikal nahi dete yeh kuch na kuch nai chalein chalti rahegi. Itni asani se haar manne walon mein se nahin hai woh. Yes it felt good but look to what extent Ishita can go to be with Raman. She gave up her home and all comforts and lived as a servant in the servant room. She is so cunning that she managed to do all this without breaking Papa Ji's promise. We need to throw her out of Raman's life not just this house. She won't give up easily.

Simmi: Oh param ji. Don't worry. Ishita ka nam, pehchan aur uska wajood sab mita dungi main Bhai ki life se. Unki yadadasht se toh mita hi diya hai toh ab usko Bhai ke life se nikalna kaun si badi baat hai. Aap bas dekhte jao ki aage hota hai kya. Ishita ko toh main aisa sabak sikhaungi ki jab tak woh yeh samaj payegi ki uske sath ho kya raha hai woh Raman Bhai ki zindagi se itni door ho chuki hogi ki woh chah ke bhi wapas nahi aa payegi. Don't worry Param Ji. I shall remove Ishita's existence from Bhai's life. Just wait and watch. I shall teach her such a lesson that she won't even realise when I threw her out of Bhai's life after which she will never be able to come back.

Mihika: Bahut smart samajhti hai na Ishita apne aap ko. Ab usko samajh mein ayega ki dusron ki life mein interfere karne ka anjaam kya hota hai. She think's she is very smart. Now she will understand the consequence of interfering in other people's lives.
