After 6 years
In Mumbai
Shanaya (Gunjan) was busy dressing her up her sister Aditi for the proposal, where a boy is coming to see her for the marriage "Di,there is still time ,I feel you need to tell Dad and Mom about Shlok and I feel you need to call Sholk to come and meet Dad."
Aditi was nervous whether when Shanaya and Shlok meet what will happen as Shlok will get shocked to see his sister alive ,but he will be also shocked to know she has lost her memory. "Nahi Shanaya ,I can't I need to obey my father's command " (Aditi was thinking in her mind, that some day she might escape without Shanaya's notice as she doesn't want her to see Shlok .
Aditi was called to bring tea for the boy and his family, suddenly Aditi went all shock. Aditi stammered "Shl..ok,you here ?" her eyes were widden when she gazed at Aditi all of the sudden,a small girl came near Aditi "Maasi you know Shlok uncle ?"
Shlok was surprised to know that Aditi has a nephew and suddenly a voice came from behind "Di,what happened ?" Shlok was shocked to see Shanaya,that she is alive .Shanaya looked at Shlok "Ooh so you are Shlok, Di was telling about you in fact she always wanted to get married to you but you were ...". Before Shanaya could complete her words ,Aditi pushed her elbow hitting Shanaya to make her realize to stop talking .
Tears rolled down from Shlok's eyes " Choti ,you are alive and I missed you so much Choti. I always felt guilty of loosing, after I came to know you weren't with us,so many things happened with us ".He noticed that Shanaya isnt wearing specs like Gunjan. "And Choti,what about your specs,i am suprised to see you not wearing it !!".
Shanaya was cleared his confusion being confident on her statement " Excuse me ,I am not your choti and i am dont wear specs as my eyes are good,Di why us Shlok acting weird ,tell him I am your sister and this my daughter Monaya ."
Shlok was stunned "Shanaya and Monaya ? That means you have a daughter and Aditi why didn't you tell me about her" Shlok went near Aditi and stared at her "You know Aditi if Gunjan was with us ,today Samrat wouldn't have left us and my Aastha wouldn't left me and today u wouldn't be here for a proposal ."
Aditi replied in fear but tried to hide the truth that its happened by her "She lost her memory Shlok, she doesn't remember any of us and I have only told her husband died and she is pregnant with his child, cause she is not able to recollect, that's why I have given her a new identity."
Shlok got angry with her "Aditi, atleast you could have informed me about Gunjan, I would have told her ,now she is not accepting me as her brother".
Anjali ,Shlok's mother came near Shlok " Beta,I feel we need to leave ,Gunjan beti doesn't remember me and not you and your father, I feel we need to give her some time ".
Monaya came near Shlok " You are very bad uncle, why are you troubling my mother and my maasi " Shlok smiled at his niece innocence "Baby,I am sorry for troubling your mother and your aunty.I shall leave now " he pecked her on her forehead ,Moanya felt weird "Eww,I don't take kisses from strangers ". Shanaya glared angrily at her daughter " No Monaya,you shouldn't do so ? Say sorry "
Monaya grinned angrily "Sorry uncle" Shanaya was still not happy with her response and Shlok calmed Shanaya down "Its ok Gunjan, I mean Shanaya.

Aastha was platting her daughter Kavya's hair " Mama,tomorrow is Monaya's birthday party and I am called for her birthday "Aastha smiled at her daughter " Kavya, I think we need to buy a gift for your friend Monaya,come on let's go to the shop ".
Samrat comes near Aastha and he wonders where the both mother and daughter duo is going " Choti, where are you both going ?" Kavya jumps with smile and tells her uncle "Uncle, I am going to bring gift for my friend Monaya and mumma is helping me with the shopping ".
Samrat kneels down and goes near his cute little neice and pulling her cute cheeks " Looks like my angel,is gonna bring a nice and beautiful gift for her friend, by the way take your uncle along with you to buy for your friend gift, as you know I have a better choice of buying gifts ".
Aastha smiled " Good both the uncle and niece wil spend time with each other, thanks Samrat bhaiya actually I have lots of work and I had to leave my work to bring gift for her friend. "
Samrat understood what Aastha was trying to say as he knows it wasnt any work, it was just that Aastha wanted to go and stand in front of Shlok's house and wait for him to notice her and Samrat got angry "Darling, go to your room and get ready, your uncle will come soon " Kavya smiles and she goes to her room .
Samrat gets irritated "Choti,why do you want to see his face ,he thinks you are a flirty but actually he is a flirty and today he went for a proposal meet to Aditi's house, his closeness to Aditi is getting on my nerves.Choti I feel you need to forget him and move on,cause he is the one also to be the murderer of my Gunjan".
Before Aastha could say something ,Samrat left. Aastha looked at herself in the mirror and seen her reflection in front of the mirror.Tears rolled down from her cheeks,while folding the clothes,she thought to herself
" I am only living for my daughter Kavya, whose father doesn't even bothers to even come and see me and know about his daughter and he insulted me alot without knowing my innocence and the truth is he is the one being flirty, I hate you Shlok. I thought of getting things solved and today you went for a proposal meet to Aditi house, I didn't expect that from you."
Aastha removed her magalsutra from her neck in anger and even rubbed the sindhoor off "From today onwards you mean nothing to me ,you are just no one to me ".
*
A sad and lonely Shlok is walking like as if there is no life left in him,he remembered the days when he insulted Aastha and treated her very badly.. It cursed him,he looked up at her balcony ,he waited for her,to get a glimpse of her.
Aastha who was crying bitterly on her bed,her heart beats raised ,she felt as if Shlok was near her,she went near the balcony and noticed he was not there.
She got irritated "Why I am thinking of the betrayer, he raped me ,he insulted me ,he did so many things to me which I regret thinking about it and forgiving him,he deserves only my hatred ".
Shlok didn't wanted to be seen by Aastha as his mind stopped him but his heart of wanted to meet her .

Shanaya and her daughter Monaya were walking on the streets suddenly ,Shanaya's duppata fell on Samrat ,the dupatta fell on him and he couldn't see the road ,and when the girl took her dupatta, she already left and he couldn't see her face and nor her daughter.
Kavya dragged her uncle to the shop, and when Kavya selected a gift, she was restricted by the cashier that "it's the last piece deat and someone has already booked it for tomorrow's delivery" Kavya became sad .
Samrat cheered her up by showing her some other options to see for ...but Kavya wasn't satisfied as she couldnt find anything good.The doll which she wanted to gift was reserved for someone else.Samrat noticed her sadness and told her that he will tell her something in her ear,when Kavya heared what Samrat told her,she jumped with joy "Wow uncle,this is gonna be a best gift ever to Monaya.She will surely like it"
Samrat smiled seeing Kavya's happiness ,he thought to himself "If i had a daughter,i would have gifted this gift to her and even Gunjan would surely be happy with it cause its craze and love to have it" tears brimmed his eyes,but his trance was broken when Kavya brought him back to reality,when she kissed him as a gift of saying thankyou for the idea.
Monaya told her mom "Mom,the gift which you selected for me it's so nice thanks mumma .But because you didn't have the money, you paid it advance na " Monaya asked in her sweet innocence .
Shanaya felt sad ,her eyes started to water but she tried to hide it by smiling at her daughter and she tried to divert Monaya's mind and told her to call her friend Kavya and tell her to call her mom and specially her uncle whom she always praises,I would like to meet him."
Monaya becomes happy "Wow mama good idea, thanks ,I will speak to her right now ". Monaya gives a flying kiss to her
Monaya phones Kavya and tells her to call her mother and her uncle .Kavya becomes happy and forces her uncle to come for the party and because Samrat didn't wanted to hurt his little neice, he agreed to her and she became happy.
