"Kanna? What are you doing here?" Vinay saw a confused mute Prisha standing near the corridor with a sulk look. He looked for the reason and saw Sanal come out of his cabin.

Sanal looked at them and ignored the father-daughter duo to not listen to their lectures again.

Vinay then patted Prisha's shoulder asking her if Sanal had misbehaved with her.

To which she answered smiling weakly, "Only your family can hurt you...not strangers, Appa" Vinay hugged her straining self which had stopped to cry anymore tears for the one person who didn't deserve them.

Veena's wedding day

After the hula bola of a perfect South Indian wedding as demanded by Vinod, Vinay and Sameer decided to give a proper Christian wedding for their sweet Veena and Xavier.

So, the Christian themed wedding was kept the third day as they didn't want to tire the new mom to be.

Vinay reminded the family and friends to strictly exclude Sanal from the happy moments, as he didn't want to tense Prisha who was the pivotal support to Veena.

Prisha was lovingly helping her Veena chech to get ready for her big day. Suddenly she saw that Veena was getting tensed. So, she cradled her hand in hers speaking

"Chech, it's just you and Xavier...and no one else..." Veena looked at her and smiled nodding her head. 

Veena came out of the dressing room being led to the altar by her father. Vinod proudly patted his daughter's hand whispering "Vinu...I am so sorry for having made you go through so much of stress. I know I have not been a good father but I just couldn't let you go through the trauma again.... will you forgive your father, hm?"

Veena stopped in her tracks and turned to face her father.

"Appa, what I am today is all because of you. You have given me the strength to fight my battles. You have been my reason to not give up. I owe my life to you, Appa."

She then put her head on his shoulders, who patted her hair lovingly.

Both shed happy tears at the serene moment being blessed by the family members.

At the altar, Xavier was getting stressed thinking about the moment where he would be finally his Veena's.

Dino held his shoulders to assure him that everything will be alright.

As the music played, Xavier couldn't face his Veena. He was blushing and not getting the strength to gaze at his love.

As Vinod led his daughter in front of Xavier who finally looked up at his Veena.

An angel. Was the only thought that came in his mind at that moment.

Veena shied at his powerful gaze and blushedbadly making him proud of his luck to have such an understanding and lovelypartner. 

As the priest spelled 'Now I announce you husband and wife.... *looking at Xavier* you may kiss the bride,"

Xavier removed the veil from her pretty face and saw her glistening eyes which smiled at him. As he moved closer to peck her lips, he could feel her warm breath on his cold lips.

The cousins howled at the scene making the church people shocked at the booming echo.

The new couple then caught hold of each other's hand and saw their family members coming to congratulate them.

Xavier then looked at Prisha who was clapping shedding tears of happiness.

He mouthed her a 'thank you' at her effort to rewrite his love story again. Prisha accepted his acknowledgement with a slight nod and flowing tears.

After Veena and Xavier's small only family members only marriage gathering, Prisha was happy with her Veena Chech getting her true love.

"Chech, this time no tears. You have shed enough for your lifetime. Now, only you, Xavier and your baby...that is only thing that matters in your life. Nothing else, hm?" Prisha then embraced her Chech who would miss her mature and understanding Prisha.

Prisha had decided to attend the university for her course. As she left the need to be away from the country, which would remind her of the one person she didn't want to encounter anymore.

Vinay liked her decision and supported her all the way with making arrangements like residence, her college materials and everything which would be as per her comfort.

At the airport.

Prisha was not shedding any tears as it had stopped ever since she witnessed that gruesome scene in the company.

She hugged her Latha mom the longest as she knew the burden she carried for her haughty son.

"Amma, I will call you every day and don't forget to have your tablets on time. Dr. Ratna was telling about your monthly check up. Please attend it without fail, hm?" Latha teared up at the genuine concern shown by her Prisha whom she loved more than her own children.

Soumya cried clutching her Prisha Chech's hand not letting it go. She was remorseful for her brother's action towards her Prisha Chech and had stopped talking to him ever since.

"Somi, you should win the nationals this time, hm? And one more thing.... *gulps* please talk to your brother. He is not bad. He...is...just..." Prisha tried to control her tears which were threatening to fall looking at the anger that Soumya had for Sanal at his mention.

"...idiot! That's what he is!!" Soumya blurted out from her mouth which was softly covered by Prisha who shaked her head.

"No, Somi! You should not say such things about your elder one! Just talk to him. He is lonely...He needs his family, hm?" Prisha then looked at the other family members along with her friends and Dino who had showed up at her departure to Sydney to continue her dreams.

As she moved towards the checkpoint she felt a pang in her heart which she knew. She knew the reason for the pain. She knew the person responsible for the pain.

Yet, she wanted to see him one last time before she went for a two-year music course.

She knew that Vinay was processing their divorce and already taken her signature for the same. But she told him to ask Sanal one last time to rethink their relationship to which Vinay scolded her lightly to stop her unnecessary hope on an arrogant and foolish person.

Sanal's room

Sanal knew that Prisha was going abroad for her course. But he didn't bother to go or even enquire about her.

He looked at the divorce papers on his bed which had her signature confirming his doubts of her betrayal.

He was sure of the hefty alimony that she would get after the divorce which she had probably used for her course.

He slammed the file after signing the papers and left for the bar, wiping his unwanted tears.

After 1 month,

Sanal was driving to the site that he had bought after much negation from his father and uncle. As the place was in the outskirts of the city and had a bad reputation among the estate agent as being a place of illegal activities during the night time.

But seeing the potential gains in the future about the place and the city outskirts he bought it.

"Mr. Sanal! finally you are here," The realtor, Rupal shaked Sanal's hands who smiled at him.

Both talked about the possible construction in the place and how they can gain from the same.

After Sanal left, Rupal called Dinesh telling him the details of Sanal's plan to build a house in that place.

Dinesh was happy to finally trap the dumb son of the Menon's and take his revenge.

He told Rupal to go ahead with the plan that they had decided.

Dinesh wanted to smuggle raw materials for his construction company but was finding it difficult with the ongoing cases on him. So, he called up Rupal to help him out in this regard, who was successful to trap Sanal in his lies.

Menon residence

Latha kept the phone with a smile on her face as she loved her 1-hour conversation with Prisha. Even Soumya was also happy with her Chech's constant support for her swimming.

"Mom? I will be going to Italy for the meeting with the clients, tomorrow," Sanal barged in their happy moments to make them sulk back.

Latha just hummed at his words and went back to resume her work.

Sanal asked Soumya about her swimming trials with the new academy to which she answered.

"It's good," She then went away giving her fake smile to her brother who was getting irritated with his family's constant ignorance to his existence.

He brushed off their ignorance for his own good and went to do his packing, as his flight was early in the morning.

He kept his call with Prerna who would accompany him to the Italy trip.

In the hotel room,

Prerna then moved her slender hands around Rupal's shoulder and smiled at her success to trap Sanal.

Rupal told her that he would reach the same hotel as theirs in Italy to move to their next step.
