Aatif: Will you introduce me to your secret admirer

Neil: I will. When the time comes

With that Neil took his blessings and left for the police station

Meanwhile Kabir left looking for Ruhi. He looked everywhere. The cafe, college and Kareena. But he couldn't find her anywhere.

Kabir in mind: I'm so sorry Ruhi. Where are you? I shouldn't have bursted out on you like that.

Kabir then went to the one area where he knew that Ruhi likes to go. He then goes to the river where he saw Ruhi on the rocks.

He approached Ruhi who was crying her heart out. He saw her talking to the river.

Ruhi: Dear God, the one woman who I thought was good in my family is actually bad. How could naniji murder people? She was like a idol. I truly don't wanna belong to this family. And now I don't have anyone to consider my family.

Kabir: Hey! How dare you say that!

Ruhi hiding her face: Oh Kabir. What are you doing here?

Kabir tilted her head. Why are you hiding your beautiful face from me?

Ruhi: Because I'm ashamed to show my face to you.

Kabir: Why do you feel ashamed? Hmm?

Ruhi: Look Kabir, I'm not mad at you yelling at me. I'm mad at my family and I don't think I should be in front of you

Kabir: What? Oh my god Ruhi! Look I love you and only you. Yes I was mad but I'm not mad at you. Im mad at your family and you can't control family.

Ruhi hugging him tightly: I'm sorry

Kabir: Don't be. I was just mad at what I just heard. I have always craved for parents love and when I found out that my parents were murdered, a certain hit came to the heart.

Ruhi: Look Kabir, we cant change the past but we can change the present right? I am always going to support you no matter what

Kabir: I think I knew when you beat up those boys who made fun of me

Ruhi: Oye! If anyone hurts my loved ones, I will give them such a punch

Kabir: Oye ms Bruce lee! Calm down! U have the figure of Alia Bhatt but the strength of a elephant

Ruhi pointing her finger towards him: Never underestimate the power of a woman

Kabir grabbed her finger and held her close: Never

He then kissed her forehead while she hugged him back

While at the cafe, Riya was comforting a heartbroken Ali who was crying In her shoulder.

Ali crying: Riyaaaa

Riya: Shush Ali, calm down. I can't see you like this.

Ali: But I cant help it. I just want to cry

Riya: Ok hold on for a minute.

She left him and grabbed a box of ladoos and put it in front of him. Ali looking at the ladoos immediately stopped crying.

Riya: What are you waiting for? Eat them

Ali the gorged on the ladoos while Riya looked on fondly.

Ali: How did you know about these?

Riya: Oye mera bhukaad. Don't you remember your secret stash of ladoos that you kept in emergency. Well this seems like a emergency

Ali:But how did you know where there were? I kept them in a secret place

Riya: Putting them on the high shelf is not a secret place. Just because you are tall doesn't mean I can't reach these. Why do you think I wear heels

Ali: Oh I thought You wear them to match my Height. You know it's easier to reach when we..

Riya: Chup! Besharam

After finishing the ladoos, Ali looked at the stars. Riya was standing behind him holding his hand.

Ali: Riya do you think, that in the stars are my parents?

Riya: Of course. And they are damn proud of you.

Ali: Why?

Riya then put her arms around his neck, her face beside him

Riya: Because you followed your heart. Look Ali, I agree with your mother. If you don't follow your heart, than you will never be mentally happy. I have seen that in my life

She got a bit teary remembering the past. Ali wipes her tears, shaking his head.

Riya: Ali, I get you will take a while to process this information. I think you should spend time with Kabir and have him shift with you at the Khanna Mansion. Bring along Dadu too if needed.

Ali: That's an amazing idea! Where do you get such ideas, ms makeup ki dukaan

Riya then slapped his shoulder shaking her head before hugging him again

At the police station, Neil was about to leave

when he noticed Avni was still there

Neil: Ananya? Do you realize the time ?

Avni: Neil I'm not dumb, I can see the time

Neil: Why don't you ever answer a question properly?

Avni: Because I don't have time for stupid questions!

Neil: Look you should head home. It's not safe for you

Avni: Why because I'm a woman

Her responses were shocking Neil. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. She indeed was a Ajooba. His Ajooba

Neil: No, it's that one person can attack a lady don at night and I will feel bad

Avni: No need to feel bad!

Neil: Oh it's not for you

Avni: then for who?

Neil: the one who would attack you! As they would get a beating that would remind them of life

Avni rolled her eyes

Neil: by the way, why are you so interested in this case

Avni closed her eyes, remembering her past. She remembered how she and others were tortured

Avni: Because!

Neil then noticed how tense she was.

Neil then went to her shoulder: Hey Look, I didn't mean to make you tense! I was just curious about your interest but that's ok You don't have to tell me. I won't force you

Neil words rang in her ears. "I won't force you". Only if someone knew those words in the past.

Avni smiled: Thanks Neil

Neil: No problem. Hey look, let get some ice cream. It will take your mood off too

Avni nodded and they both left. They went to the vendor and ordered their ice cream. Avni was enjoying her ice cream as she got ice cream on her nose. Neil noticed and tried to tell her. But Avni being Avni was a tubelight

He approached her and gently wiped her nose. He stared at her eyes and noticed a pain. A fear and so many feelings hidden

Neil in mind: please Ananya, tell me what's hidden. I don't know why but when I look in your eyes, I sense someone familiar

Avni in mind: Neil Why are you effecting me so much! I genuinely feel that I found a friend that I can trust. But right now I cannot because of the role that men play in my life. I feel that I may trust you but I'm just scared.

Avneil finished their ice cream and Avni got some for her brother and her mother and grandparents. They both then left to their respective place
