"What is it ?" Sidharth asked.

"It was two videos from an unknown number in WhatsApp. One of them was you kissing her and the other was   a video of her crying on the beach." Niharika informed.

"What ? Someone was spying ? It's really dangerous if this goes to the elders." Sid exclaimed.

"We need to find Prisha. That's more important. We need to get out of this party." Kabir said.

"But me and Abhinay can't leave the party. I mean, coming out for sometime is different but leaving the party isn't possible." Niharika pointed out.

"Niharika, I'll talk with Dad. Anyway there's hardly another hour for the party to end. I'll tell him we're tired." Abhinay suggested taking a look at his watch.

"Try your best then." Niharika replied.

They all went back into the party and talked with Niharika's and Abhinay's dad. Buying the excuse, they let the youngsters get home.

"I called Prisha but her phone is switched off." Niharika told them.

"Sid, you come with us. Alya and Kabir, take the second car." Abhinay said.

"I think we should check at my place first. Alya and Kabir, you guys check the beach. She doesn't know Vizag very well so she wouldn't go anywhere else. " Niharika said.

"Remember, whatever it is, stay in contact and we need to find her before this party ends." Alya reminded them.

They all left to find Prisha.

Niharika entered her house and went to her room calling out for Prisha.

She saw Prisha standing in the balcony staring at the sky.

"Prisha." She called out softly.

Prisha looked back and found Niharika. She ran to her and hugged her tightly.

"You shouldn't have ran away without telling me." Niharika said patting her head.

"I didn't know what to do. You know how much I hate all this. More than hate, it's more like I'm scared." Prisha replied.

"Scared of what, Prisha ?" Niharika asked her.

"I can't tell you." Prisha said.

"Why ?"

"Because I just can't. I can't."

"Fine. I won't force you,Prisha. Come, Abhinay and Sidharth are waiting for you." Niharika said taking her out.

"I'm not going to face Sidharth. I don't want to." Prisha said resisting.

"Prisha, listen to me. You have to face him one day or the other. He regrets what he's done." Niharika explained.

Prisha nodded and went out with Niharika still reluctant about facing him.

Niharika's grandparents were at Abhinay's place spending some time with them and thus, the house was empty.

"I called Alya and Kabir and informed them that Prisha is here and asked them to come here." Abhinay said as he saw Niharika entering the living room.

Prisha entered after a few moments.

"Prisha, I'm really sorry. It just happened in the heat of the moment " Sid said apologizing.

"Just stay away from me. Don't try to come close to me. I didn't expect this from you. Just because I'm  friendly with you, it doesn't mean you can take advantage of it." Prisha shouted at him pointing her finger at him.

"If he took advantage of you, why couldn't you stop him ?" Kabir asked her in the same tone while entering the house. "He didn't force you, you gave in."

"But he was the one who initiated it." Prisha countered.

"But you didn't resist that initiation." Kabir said.

"I couldn't think about anything. I couldn't understand what was going on." Prisha justified.

"Can we sit down and talk, calmly." Alya suggested.

They heard the sounds of cars arriving.

"They're home so soon ?" Abhinay asked shocked.

Abhinay's parents and Niharika's parents entered the house very cheerfully.

"Neeti Maa, Dad, you're home early ?" Kabir asked.

"We need to talk with all of you." Neeti replied.

"Yeah. Come take a seat." Niharika said. "I'll bring some water."

Niharika went to bring some water and Alya followed her while everyone else took a seat.

They brought the water and served it to everyone.

"Sidharth, Prisha, we recieved a video." Abhinay's dad broke the news.

Everyone except the elders were shocked.

Prisha looked at Niharika because she didn't know what they're talking about. Niharika through signs explained that she'll tell her later.

"If the video gets public, then it'll be a problem. Moreover, you both love each other, so I'm sure you both don't have a problem in getting married." Abhinay's Mom said shocking everyone but the elders again.

"We know that you both had a fight today but all couples do. It'll get sorted out." Niharika's dad said.

"Sidharth, Prisha, me and Parth had a Love marriage too. We know that all this happens before marriage these days. All of us don't have a problem with that. But the thing is, someone has a video of both of you getting intimate and it's not safe." Abhinay's Mom explained.

"Prisha, you've been my daughter since a couple of years. You and Niharika are both equal for me. As a mother, I'd tell you, get engaged to Sid and get married soon." Niharika's Mom suggested.

Prisha didn't even understand a bit of what everyone was saying. Sid on the other hand was shocked to see the developments.

How can I marry him ? How can I even marry ? I don't know him. I never wanted to get married. What's happening ? Prisha thought.

I can't get married. I still love her. I don't love Prisha. But where is she ? Will she ever come back ? Will she ever agree to get back with me ? Sid thought.

"Prisha, you call me Dad. I know that you want to achieve much more in life. Sid don't stop you from achieving what you want. It's not about the society that we're worried, it's about your lives we're worried for. As your dad, trust me, marry Sidharth. You both love each other. There's no problem in marrying each other right." Niharika's dad said.

"To be frank, I'm so happy to see you both together. You both are perfect for each other. Prisha, you've chosen the right person. If I had to chose someone for you, I would've chosen him." Niharika's Mom said.

"Dad, Mom, I'm ready to marry him." Prisha announced.  

Niharika, Abhinay, Sid, Alya and Kabir looked at her in shock.
