As soon after the huge fight with Ravi, Pallavi packed her bags and left his house. Her mind was in confusion and she didn't know what to do. For a second she thought to call Shubman but decided not to because she doesn't want to create anymore problems for him.

As she sat in a park her phone began to ring. Kriya, Pallavi's best friend was calling her. She immediately picked up the call.

ON THE PHONE CALL 📞:-

Kriya:-Hey Pallavi. How r u?

Pallavi:-Hi Kriya.

Kriya:-Behan tu toh Eid ka chand ho gyi h kabhi dikhti hi nhi hai aur naa hi tu kabhi call karti hai?

Pallavi:-I..i was just busy these days.

Kriya:-Mere liye tu busy ho jati hai, acha bata are you free right now?

Pallavi:-Yeah.

Kriya:-Come home then.

Pallavi:-Arey but...

Kriya:-Koi but vut nahi just come home right now.

Pallavi:-Ohk.

Pallavi immediately went to Kriya's house. It's been a long time since they both met. Pallavi rang Kriya's doorbell. As Kriya opened the door she really jumped and hugged Pallavi to greet her.

Kriya:-Yaar Pallavi i missed you so much. Come inside.

Pallavi:-Thanks.

They both settled down on the couch.

Kriya:-Finally tu mere ghar aayi. Chal bata what will you like to have?

Pallavi:-Nothing yaar just i am not feeling hungry.

Kriya:-Arey tu finally mere ghar aayi h kuch toh special banaugi mein tere liye?

Pallavi:-No yaar.

Kriya:-What happened Pallavi you are looking really sad? Tell me if there's any problem? Is everything alright?

Pallavi:-N...no Kriya. Everything's ruined now.(she said while tears were rolling down her cheeks)

Kriya:-What happened Pallavi?

Pallavi:-I ruined everything. I ruined my family.

Kriya:-But what happened Pallavi? Tell me.

Pallavi:-Ravi and i are no longer together.

Kriya:-Why? What happened?

Pallavi:-I...i cheated on him.

Kriya:-What??? Do you even realise what are you saying.

Pallavi:-Yes Kriya this is the truth. I got in a relationship with another man.

Kriya:-Pallavi firstly please calm down.

Pallavi:-No Kriya how can i stay calm. I ruined my marriage because of my selfishness.

Kriya:-Pallavi please don't blame yourself. I know you never loved Ravi.

Pallavi:-That doesn't matter Kriya. Cheating can't be justified.

Kriya:-I know Pallavi but still you always thought about others and today when you have the chance to live for yourself then why r u blaming yourself.

Pallavi:-I don't know whether i did right or wrong but i know that i cheated on my husband and my father in law died because of me.

Kriya:-What uncle ji?

Pallavi:-He had a heart attack after seeing me and Shubman together.

Kriya:-Shubman as in Shubman Gill the cricketer?

Pallavi:-Yes i was in a relationship with him.

Kriya:-But how you know him?

Pallavi:-Bro i told you na i am working as a physiotherapist for the Indian Cricket Team.

Kriya:-Oh yeah i remember. So sorry to hear all this Pallavi but if you ask my opinion Pallavi then i would say that it's not your fault.

Pallavi:-What are you saying Kriya?

Kriya:-The truth. Pallavi you never loved Ravi, you were just adjusting yourself in this marriage. Your true love is Shubman. You should be with him.

Pallavi:-No Kriya i have already ruined my family, now i don't want to ruin his.

Kriya:-Pallavi kab tak dusro ke baare mein sochti rahogi, this is the time where you need to think about yourself, about your own happiness.

Pallavi:-Shubman ke saath relationship mein bhi toh main apni khushi ke liye aayi thi na, kya mila muje. Nothing. In fact i made things even worse. I lost my father in law, my husband is no longer with me. But now it's enough i can't hurt my family anymore. I think i should go somewhere else.

Kriya:-Pallavi please don't take a wrong step.

Pallavi:-I am shifting to America.

Kriya:-America! But why?

Pallavi:-I can't stay in Mumbai.

Kriya:-But Pallavi America main tum kaha rahogi. Wahan toh tumhara koi known ka hai bhi nahi.

Pallavi:-Toh yahan kaun hai mera. I don't have a family.

Kriya:-Pallavi i am here with you. You can stay with me.

Pallavi:-No Kriya i don't want to be a burden on you. You have your family.

Kriya:-But Pallavi....

Pallavi:-No Kriya please don't stop me. I can't stay here. Please let me go. In fact maine aaj raat ki flight tickets bhi book kardi hai.

Kriya:-Ohk if that's your choice i won't interfere but please Pallavi stay in touch with me.

Pallavi:-I will. Don't worry.

They both shared a warm hug, tears rolled down their eyes. The thought that Pallavi is leaving Mumbai really shocked her. She won't be able to meet her again maybe.

Pallavi on the other hand kept blaming herself for what all happened in her life.

After meeting Kriya she quickly went to the BCCI office to tell the head coach about her resignation.

Pallavi:-Good morning sir.

Coach Rahul Dravid:-Oh good morning Pallavi.

Pallavi:-Sir i want to resign from this job.

Coach Rahul Dravid:-Why Pallavi? You were doing so good then why all of a sudden you made this decision?

Pallavi:-Sir my husband is opening his company's head office in America so my entire family members are shifting there. (She lied)

Coach Rahul Dravid:-Oh i can understand but Pallavi you were the best physiotherapist this team had ever.

Pallavi:-Thanks sir for the encouragement and this job but i guess this was it.

Coach Rahul Dravid:-Anyway Pallavi i wish you all the best for your future and i hope you get what you want in your life. Best of luck dear.

Pallavi:-Thank you sir. Please inform this to the entire team.

Coach Rahul Dravid:-I will and i am pretty sure they will get very upset after listening to this news.

Pallavi:-Hmm. I guess i should go sir. Thank you.

Coach Rahul Dravid:-Bye Pallavi. Take care dear.

Pallavi got out of the BCCI office and hired a taxi to the airport. She wanted to see Shubman for one last time but she knew if he came in front of her she will get weak and won't be able to leave Mumbai. So with a heavy heart she went inside the airport and showed all her IDs to the airport authority.

She quickly grabbed her seat on the flight. As the plane took off, for one last time she saw the view of Mumbai from the window. Her eyes filled with tears.
