Flashbacks
Aarti's family wereon the waiting room, thinking, after there short visit to Aarti, they realize that she doesn't remember a lot of things and Yash is one of it, not only she cannot recall there 3 months together but also her 12 years of love to him , they were just sitting on silence then Mr Dubey said " What if we didn't tell her about Yash ? "
Sobha look at him and said " maybe its a gift from god to Aarti to save her from pain "
Vidhi " But what if she does remember and blame us for not telling her "
Sobha look at her with anger " Blame us ? what do you want her to remember , the fact that she love a boy from one sided for 12 years, then he got married to her to have a palace , then he use her and got her pregnant and she had done an abortion, then he kick her out of his life and send divorce papers to her ? do you realy think that she will be happy if she remember all this ? its enough that she still remember how her parents die , its enough that she remember the ugly part of her childhood , Aarti deserve to be happy and have a happy memory , god give her a chance to start a new life with less pain "
Mr Dubey " Your mother is right no one is allowed to tell her enything about Yash , from now on we will acct like if he never exist on her life "
Sobha " I will get rid of all her notebooks that mention him "
