Nithya had planted the seed of gay love in the mind of Himanshu stating that his hippie avatar was premonition of him being loved by his own kind.

This was accepted by the poor boy who believed his stepmother and her kind words towards him from childhood.

Nithya was always lenient towards Himanshu, as he was the most humble and innocent child among the brothers.

So, it was easy for her to capture his mind and play the puppeteer to handle his move on being the easy bait in her plan.

This was seen in one of the clips where Himanshu was talking about joining the LGBT group in his college as the inspiration to his new avatar to Jack who laughed at his antics. They were amused by his talks as inspired by his Nithya mom, while sipping on their coffee in the café and ranting him on his behaviour, including Harish.

Harish saw the clip and was angry at himself for being so naïve at the life decision that his Himanshu had taken. He just berated him instead of being his support and pride.

Harish then remembered that Himanshu on one of his visit to his brother in Canada alongwith Hardik, saw the beautiful and innocent Sara and immediately fell in love with her. 

Himanshu and Sara would secretly go on dates and have their cozy couple times in his hotel unbeknownst to Harish and Jack. However, Harish had abruptly caught them making out one time during hisvisit to Himanshu's hotel. He had warned Himanshu to not play with the innocentSara but his brother had taken it as a challenge.

Nithya was under the impression that her confused Himanshu was having a gala time with Jack but it was the right opposite, shocking her.

So, she decided to kill three birds in one go.

Hiring some goons and getting them to kill the friends and their lovely sister was an easy task for her.

The next video clip showed Jack's house being ablaze with only Harish and Jack outside the house.

Both were crying out loudly at their lose and were trying to move inside the house to save their Sara.

After seeing the clip, Harish teared up loudly crying out Sara's name, remembering their time together.

He cursed how he was not able to help her and save her on time. Pia clutched his hands and brushed it softly trying to calm him. Hardik also caressed his back to stop him from crying.

Pia scrunched her nose onto smelling something burning. She moved towards the origin of the smell and was horrified to see the kitchen ablaze with the fire moving towards them.

Hearing her scream, the men moved towards her and were surprised themselves.

Namjoon called for backup and fire extinguisher. But since they were in the outskirts of the city, getting help on time was a difficult task.

However, Harish told them to move out of the cabin fast before the fire consumed the house fully.

Harish and Hardik ran towards the door along with Suga and Jhope who jumped from the window, safe landing on the grass.

Suga groaned with the pain on his shoulder and saw Jhope saluting him, giving his signature dimpled smile. He saw him ran off to hiding before the police arrived. Suga muttered 'slay fox' while trying to get away from the fire.

As Pia moved towards the door, she remembered the pendrive plugged in the laptop. She turned back and saw that it was still plugged in. She ran back to take it as it would help them to arrest the main culprit and give justice to her Shri.

Harish coughed badly after coming out and clutched Hardik's shoulder asking him if he was alright. Hardik nodded trying to control his coughs.

He then told Harish to check on Pia, making him suddenly turn to check his Pia.

But she was not outside. He panicked and glanced towards the cabin which was blazing with fire. He horrified thinking that his Pia was still inside. So, without thinking twice, he ran back to save her and not lose her like his Sara.

Hardik saw his brother running towards the blazing fire and ran behind him to stop his madness.

He pulled Harish away from the fire but he just cried looking over the fire consuming his Pia.

He couldn't even acknowledge her or tell her that he had only told about the divorce out of the frustration that he was going through.

A crying Hardik fell back on the grass clutching his Harish tightly, not letting him go.

He saw how badly Harish was howling out 'Pia' in his hoarse voice, with flowing tears from his eyes.

But the time, the fire brigade came, they saw the house had burned down to ashes, leaving no remnants.

Harish was sitting on the edge of the car backseat, looking down. Hardik had a talk with Namjoon regarding the evidence that they lost in the fire to which Namjoon directed him that he had already saved the information in his mail.

He was waiting for the top authorities to give their approval after preparing the full report.

Hardik thanked him for his help and moved to take care of his Harish. He was trying to compose himself from the sudden loss of their Pia but was also responsible to take care of his helpless brother and his brother's emotions mattered more than his own.

"Shri?" He called out a zoned-out Harish who just whispered "I want to go home,"

After a few days,

Suga was awarded with the Bravery award alongside Namjoon for his great contribution in solving the unsolved Sara Fire Case.

Suga was promoted to Detective Sergeant in the department making Namjoon proud of his friend.

Suga was finally recognized by his family and was showered with all their blessing for him and his lovely supportive girlfriend who soon became his fiancé.

Namjoon was promoted to Chief Superintendent in the department earning higher respect and even more responsibilities in his sleeves.

Together, him and Suga took down all the unsolved cases in their hold and tried to give justice to many victims who had befallen to the same fate as Sara.

After 5 years

Paris, France

1 in the afternoon

A girl in her mid-20s was clicking photos of the flying birds in their carefree manner.

She smiled as sheclicked one photo after the other, walking through the soft grass in the universitycampus during her lunch time.

"Sara!" One of her friends, Monica ran to her hugging her tightly giggling in the most weird way.

"Would you leave me! I need to breathe!!!" Monica left her after seeing that Sara was struggling for air.

"I got in! I finally got in! woohoo!!" Sara was happy to see her friend giggling away. She thought to capture the scene in her camera and make it a memory.

Mumbai,

IST 10 am

Kansya Industries Pvt. Ltd.

The secretary was hurriedly walking behind his boss who was taking long strides to reach the meeting on time.

He opened the door with a bang and moved to occupy the VC seat with a stern look.

He signalled Sanya to start the meeting who nodded, instructing her assistant to start the presentation.

The man looked at the screen with concentration ignoring the scared gaze from the people in the room.

Hardik was shaking his head looking down praying for the sorry state of the hapless employee who would fall under the man's radar.

"Who managed to prepare this contraption, if I may ask?" The man rubbed his chin looking at Sanya who was trying hard to not glance at her assistant but failed miserably.

He immediately travelled her gaze to the shivering petite figure of a girl in her 20s, looking down.

He smirked evilly and got up moving towards her. She sensed the VC towering her but didn't dare to face him.

"Get out! before I throw you out!" He snarled at her making her flinch. She bowed and just covered her mouth to not let any tears fall from her shaky eyes, as Mr. Harish Joshi hated tears.

Before Sanya could say anything she saw the fastening steps of the man who had managed to speak those spiteful words at the start of the day not caring about the hurt he had given.

Hardik put his hands on Sanya shoulders who banged the file on the desk with a thud.

She rubbed her forehead thinking of the pain of hiring another assistant in the fourth attempt.

"No, Hardik! This is my third assistant he has fired! I can't take his arrogance anymore. I am telling you, babe! Please talk to him!" Sanya was offered water to calm her raging anger.

Hardik managed to make her sit on the chair and hugged her towards his buff chest. She found solace in his arms, and his scent which calmed her in an instant.

"Baby, you know nobody can talk sense into him. And moreover, so much pressure is not good for you and the baby!" He slowly caressed her baby bump with his soft hands making her smile.

He consoled her saying that he will try to tell Harish to control his anger. Sanya scoffed at his false attempt but then again she knew that it was only her husband who was the calm one in the family.

After Nithya's absence, Hemant was heartbroken. He resigned himself to the rural life in the outskirts of the city with his son, Himanshu who wanted an epiphany from all that had happened in their life.

He had arranged a search party for his beloved Nithya who had gone abroad for the official purpose and had gone missing suddenly, shocking the family members. But alas, the search was still ongoing like his heartbroken life with his equally heartbroken son, Himanshu.

So, when Hemant said to retire, Himanshu accompanied his father to not let him go away from his sight. As he wanted to reminisce his lost father-son bond with him.

Hardik agreed but only with the promise to come together for all the happy times in their present and future family life, including his marriage with his Sanya.

Immediately after Harshvardhan's untimely death, Harish broke down completely, shattering his dream of ever finding care, peace or even love.

He broke the stigma of true love in his life stating that love has no place in his heart as it was taken away from him.

But nobody knows that the stubborn, sagacious and cold-hearted Harish Joshi used to cry himself to sleep every night remembering his Pia.

Is this the end to their story?

Or is God testing their love for each other?

Coz, the lovebirds did rise from their Nirvasan - exile, but will they be reborn for their Nirvana - next life...?!
