                             Finale (Part-A)

Sai had quietly gone and taken her side on the bed. There was so much going on inside her, she could barely breathe. The inner turmoil of emotions had clogged her throat. The moment she saw Virat she had become speechless, words had suddenly eluded her. Then Pakhi spoke and the bridge just broke and she had lashed out on her, venting out all that she had felt and experienced since the last 2 days. But the moment she had slammed the door with all the force she could muster, she had again become numb devoid of any strength. She had given it her all, her anger, frustration and the emotions she was feeling to smash that door, only wishing that she could do the same to a particular face. She needed time to process things, to think through, and decide what she needed to do next. She closed her eyes, determined that tomorrow will be a new day, and a new beginning for her. Nothing and no one can ruin her happiness and break her anymore. Nothing can stop her from living her life. Nothing will STOP HER. She tried to bring a small smile on her face, and promised herself she will not let it diminish, however hard it may get. Tomorrow she will embark on a new journey, towards realisation of her dream!

Outside Sai and Virat's Room

Pakhi stayed back despite the fact that she was practically thrown out of the room. She wanted to ensure that she was around to intervene incase there was an argument.

When she saw that it was quiet and lights were turned off, she let out a breath of relief and walked back into her room. Closing the door behind her back, she let out sigh of relief, of triumph while an evil smirk broke out on her face. Tears of euphoria flowing down her face. She was ecstatic. She had paid back for every taunt, every insult, and all the vilification that she faced till date. And most importantly she successfully managed to create the rift between Virat and Sai. She had burned with jealousy everytime she saw them together. Virat had confessed to her that he loved Sai, that had broken her heart. But she was never ready to give up. She had chosen to marry Samrat to just be close to Virat, to make him feel indebted to her his whole life, for him to realise that she was willing to sacrifice herself and go to any ends for her love for him. But then he married Sai and with every passing day she was watching how their relationship was evolving and her insecurities started to build up simultaneously. She had done so much for Virat, she couldn't just lose him. She thought her perseverance and  her true undying love would win him over one day. Once Sai was out of the picture Virat would realise his love for her and come back to her. But Sai had returned. And since then every time she saw them together her envy reached new levels. She had started planning from the first day that she set foot in CN. She knew that Samrat was at the door that night when she was talking with Virat over the phone. And confessed that she loved Virat to ensure that Samrat knew about it. She had wanted him to reveal it to the family and then she could see a future with Virat. But Samrat had left. Even better, there was no hindrance. But then Sai walked into their lives, claiming what she believed was rightfully hers.She had carefully chosen her side, the ones with the similar malicious nature as her. She had stuck by them and became their favourite. It was not easy, but she was determined. All the pain she had endured, the feeling of loss, defeat, the insults, she had paid it back with the tears and heart break that Sai was experiencing now. She recalled how she had heard Sai talking to Ashwini mami that day mentioning she was going out with Virat. How she had controlled her rage and devised a plan. And who could have been a better accomplice than badi Mami. She had readily agreed. While Badi mami thought that she pulled the strings, Pakhi smiled as she thought even Bhavani was a puppet in her hands. All she needed to do was drop a few fake tears. What followed was the search for Samrat. Pakhi was enjoying her lone time with Virat while reeling in the happiness of ruining Virat and Sai's date plans. She felt that even luck was favouring when it started to pour. Though Virat had asked her to stay in the car, she walked out in the rain to get drenched like Virat already was. All the while claiming she was chasing someone who again she felt was Samrat. The look on the faces of the family when they entered gave her so much relief but those tears that threatened to spill from Sai's eyes gave her an ultimate high. She had again carefully planned every encounter with Virat knowing that they were being watched by Sai. What Sai and Virat lacked most in their relationship was proper communication and clarity and she had used it as a weapon against them. And to ensure that they don't get an opportunity to clear their misunderstanding and the rift widens  she had very calculatively timed her innocent talks with Virat. She knew that Sai was coming to her room when she walked up to Virat asking for an apology for his misery. She knew Sai would come back to sleep, so had engrossed Virat in a conversation. The night dress she wore was intentional to add fuel and when she realised that Sai was at the door, she purposely pointed to a picture of Samrat while leaning on Virat and faking a laugh. Little did these two ignorant poor souls realise that she had conned them, and how! She just wanted the night to be over. She was sure that this was the end of Sai and Virat's marriage.

Next Day 

Virat woke up to an empty side next to him. The events of last night and his final thoughts before sleep took over,  clouded his mind the instant he woke up. It was like they were there even in the bare moments that he managed to lose himself to sleep. He felt defeated, empty, lifeless with no hope. He checked the time, and it was quite early for Sai to be awake. He checked around but she was nowhere to be found. Then he realised that how dedicated she was to her studies. With so much happening her studies would have been affected and she would have gone to the balcony to study. He sat down, waiting for Sai to return, recalling every moment spent with her.
It was now time for him to get ready for office and Sai had still not come back to the room. He started to panic. Did she leave him already? Was that what that silence from her meant last night? He felt a strong pain in his heart as if someone was tearing it to pieces. How will he live without her? She had become like a habit, he had got used to having her around, listening to her non stop chatter, her teasing, her arguments and everything that was unique to his Sai. The room felt like it still had her smell. He closed his eyes and let the tears fall again. Most importantly she was his love and he just couldn't imagine his life without her. Yet if she wanted he would let her go. If that's what she wants then he was ready to suffer and lead a life of loneliness, knowing that she was happy wherever she was. 

But he promised himself he will be there supporting her, protecting her without her knowledge. He hurried downstairs calling her out. Everyone came out hearing Virat's voice. 

Virat - Aai have you seen Sai?

Ashwini - (worried) No. I haven't seen her. She didn't even come to the kitchen today

Virat - She is not in the room. I have looked for her everywhere. 

Bhavani - She might be sleeping somewhere, avoiding the household chores as usual

Ashwini - Sai is not like that

Everyone started to worry as she was nowhere to be found in the house and no one had seen her since last night and considering the incidents of last 2 days they were unsure of what step she might take in this state of mind. In all this panic state 2 people were enjoying, hiding their spiteful, venomous laughter behind their masks, passing that knowing gesture to each other. Bhavani and Pakhi - devil personified! Their plan was successful and Sai was out of their house and lives forever!
