Raghav looked at the magazine in front of him.  The cover page had the picture of Maithli Arora dressed in her winter wedding collection. Unknowingly his hands caressed her face. He didnt knew why he was feeling a connect to this woman. True she looked like his Pallavi but she didnt had any qualities of Pallavi. He remembered Pallavi's eyes. They were beautiful, full of life and warmth.  Whoever went near Pallavi could feel the love flowing in her. But eyes of Maithli carried a ruthless expression. They were focused and goal oriented. There was no warmth in them.  She looked a pefect bride in her designer lehenga, but she didnt carry the feel of a bride in her eyes. 

But still he couldnt take his hand from Maithili's face. He felt like from that picture Maithli was calling out to him. He didnt know why that feeling crept into him for a woman who was a complete stranger to him. 

" Raghav its time you accept Pallavi has died and move on. Dont try to see Pallavi in this girl. You very well know its not her," Raghav was brought back to the present by his mother's voice. He looked up and saw Pallavi's aai was also standing behind. She too was agreeing Jaya Rao's words. The girl in the magazine is not Pallavi. She is some ruthless business woman.

" Amma I have not seen Pallavi's dead body. She risked her life to exonerate me. I dont know what happened that day. Farhad told she had sent him with the pen drive that had all the details. That pen drive protected not just my honor but also freed me from the guilt that I had cheated on Pallavi. 

My question even today is when Pallavi got everything in her hand why did she stay back. What additional truth she was trying to dig out. What exactly happened in the godown of Madhavan's. I am absolutely sure it was  not an accident. They killed her for knowing something she shouldnt have known.

Pallavi gave justice to me. Isnt it my duty to give her justice. isnt it my duty to know the truth and believe me Amma my heart says Pallavi is not dead. She had promised me she will not leave me. Even if she died she will come to me as a ghost and dance on my head. I havent seen any ghost till now so I believe my Pallavi is alive. She cant break the promise she gave me," replied Raghav

Jaya Rao sighed and asked Aai how in the world she can convince her son to move on. Aai replied at the right time things will happen on its own. They shouldnt trouble Raghav. He was already burdened with two families as he had forced their family also to be in RR mansion. 

Amma told that was not an issue. He was only doing his duty. Now everyone in the family was happy. Vijay Deshmukh and Milind Deshmukh worked in Jayati stores. Raghav had wanted Amrita and Sunny also to work with him. But both of them were against it. So Amrita worked with Dasuri and Sunny was working independently as a tatoo artist. Sunny and Keerthi had a son Prayag and with his arrival Sunny's relationship with his parents were patched up to some extent.

Marriage discussions were progressing for Mansi and this time they were sure there wont be any issue for her wedding. Raghav would not allow that to happen. In short everyone was happy. Everyone's life had moved and progressed. But Raghav was stuck in a hole. 

Aai replied to Amma that she cant tell Raghav hasnt changed. Today Raghav was respected. People know about all the good charity work he has been doing for long. He no longer uses any illegal methods for business and has stopped taking alchohol. He had become completely responsible towards his family the way Amma wanted to see him.

" Aai agreed Raghav has changed. He has become the good boy to whom you will give hundred marks. But Aai this is not the Raghav my Pallavi didi loved and was proud of. Yes didi wanted the bad habits of Raghav to go, but not his pride, not his power. Look for once Aai where is the power and aura of Raghav Rao. I miss that so much," came in Nikhil.He handled Deshmukh emporium along with Krishna.

" Exactly Nikhil, that was what I was saying to your mother. Since you are also feeling the same way, think of something to bring out Raghav from this shell," replied Amma to Nikhil.

" Aunty dont worry. Me, Amrita along with Krishna and Farhad  are planning some surprise for Raghav. I am sure its going to bring smile back on Raghav's lips," told Nikhil enthusiastically.

" All the best Nikhil," told both Amma and Aai to him and asked him to proceed to kitchen to have dinner.

As they moved inward Amma once again glanced towards Raghav and could see he was still holding the magazine that had Maithli Arora in the cover.
