Vicky : sonia, it is ACP sir's order to not release Karan at any cost right now
Sonia : you guys have lost it, and if the murder took place why only Karan, all five of them should be punished together
Dev : what are you saying Sonia? according to proofs only Karan is blamed
Sonia : you have forgotten that all six of them are equally responsible, how partial you don't want your siblings to be blamed but want Karan to be framed thats great, what else I can expect from you guys
Dev : you are crossing your limit Sonia
Preeta : Sonia is right, even if Karan is blamed of murder they are responsible because they tried to hid the body and clear the proofs together
Vicky : how can you say that Preeta in spite of knowing everything
Preeta : because Ayesha was not only Karans' friend but she knew all six of them
Sonia : Exactly, justice should be equal for all of them and listen I will not let Karan take all blame
Vicky : is he related anything to you
Sonia : you guys won't understand what it means to have a so called sibling and a blood relation
Preeta : Enough Sonia, don't dig out the past lets go from here
Vicky : Dev did you see that? how can they tell Zoya and all to give fake confession
ACP calls Zoya, Anjali, Adi, Sameer and Shrishti in his office including all four cops.
ACP : whatever happened was everybody's fault equally so only Karan is not blamed
Zoya : you mean we all have to give the statement of being guilty
Anjali : dad but we are innocent, how can be testify of doing the mistake we did not do
Sonia claps sarcastically
Preeta : Sonia (Tries to stop them)
Sonia : I don't believe this Preeta its better to have enemies rather than this type of friends
Shrishti : Sir, I am ready to testify, I agree with Sonia it all our equal fault
Adi : yes Sir, we will not let Karan suffer alone
Zoya and Sameer too comes forward but Akira is irked by Sameer's decision
Akira : Sameer, what the hell are you doing? why do you want to take the burden of this guilt
Sameer : no sis, friendship is not only taking it but sometimes it is giving too
Shrishti : Sir I have faith in my god and sister, if we are innocent then nobody will be able to harm us
ACP : alright then (interrupted by Naina)
Naina : uncle, if they want to confess then fine but Anjali will give confession, do you even know what would be the result of this
ACP : No Naina, what will happen,my defamation, I can handle that but I cannot tolerate people questioning my loyalty of being fair to my daughter and unfair will others
Naina : but uncle
ACP : Enough Naina, no more discussion Anjali will too go with them in court
Karan convinces all of them to not take the blame
Dev : Sir, court is closed for 3 days and CM went out for couple days till then we have to wait
ACP : fine then we will let them all go today but you all have to be here when CM comes back he will decide what should be done and Vicky, let Karan go too
Vicky : yes sir
All of them leave the headquarters with tensed mood to their perspective houses. Before leaving Preeta notices wound on Karan's hand who is getting into the car.
Preeta : Shrishti you go home, I will be there soon
Shrishti : okay come soon
Preeta takes Karan aside to the nearby park and brings the first aid from his car.
Karan : what are you doing? I am fine
Preeta ignores his statement and dresses his wound
Karan : Preeta, I am fine, its just a small wound
Preeta : why do you keep trying to hide your pain, I am sorry I could not do anything for you guys (gets emotional) soon my sisters should have henna in her hand but instead she will have handcuffs, your all careers will be ruined
Karan consoles her by wiping her tears
Preeta : I am not a good sister
Karan : whoever said that is the stupid person, and didn't you say will be proved innocent, we have never harmed anybody, my dad always said that dear there is always a reason for something happening in your life
Preeta : you never told me about your dad
Karan : I never shared my past with anybody, I didn't feel the need, my mom deserted me long time ago
Preeta : what?
Karan ; my dad and mom got divorced when I was six and my younger sister was a year old, she did not wanted to take me with her she thought I would survive and left me alone
Preeta gets melted by his words recalling her past when her parents left her with Shrishti
Karan : for me my dad is everything now, she left us for her career only because my dad did not had enough money
Preeta : I am sorry
Karan : in this years I learnt lot of things, to live alone and then my friends became everything
Preeta : what if somebody want to fulfill that void in your life
Karan looks on her and pulls into tight hug letting out all his pain
Next day Preeta follows Naina in a old factory to meet Kabir. She slaps hardly on Naina's face for attempting to murder her sister
Naina : you slapped me?
Preeta : how dare you attacked my sister
Naina : this is what Karan and you both sisters deserve and yes i don't care about others, because of you and Karan my dad and uncle has been humiliated and yes I attacked Shrishti
Preeta : you had enmity with me why did you drag my sister in this, I will tell truth to everybody
Naina : go ahead, but you know law ask for proof which you don't have Sonia : Truth does not need any proof Naina (smiles at her)
Police arrives there but Kabir runs away and is unable to get caught. ACP : why Naina, what did we lack in our love
Naina does not respond to his question but he forces her to tell the truth. She shows her true colors by saying she wants revenge from Preeta and Shrishti for snatching her happiness and career.
ACP : i am so ashamed of you Naina, you repeated the mistake your dad did, take her away
Before leaving Naina swears to destroy Preeta.
Naina : I won't spare you Preeta, I will give you the wound which you will never forget
Akira goes to meet Naina in the prison and asks for the proof for the groups' innocence.
Naina : do you think I am an idiot who will give you the proof easily
Akira : Naina i promise I will get you out of here but please only you know that all of them are innocent Naina : I will give you but for that you have to do something in return for me
Akira : I will do anything for you please
Naina smirks evilly
Akira calls Preeta in her house
Preeta : why did you call me here?
Akira : you know Preeta, only you can save Naina and only I can save Karan and all
Preeta looks at her disbelief. Akira shows her the video of Dolly killing Ayesha in the room. She gets horrified on seeing the footage.
Akira : you know what Preeta I thought you were smart enough to get the proof
Preeta : you have the proof then what are you waiting for
Akira : I will give this proof but I have one condition
Preeta : what?
Akira : you will have to leave Shrishti and Karan after Sameer and Shrishti's wedding
The last word echoed Preeta's ears and felt her world is crashing down.
Preeta raises hand on Akira with as much strength as she have in her.
Preeta : how dare you? you are telling to leave my sister whom I raised with much so struggle
Akira : Yes (shouts out loud), because then you both will understand how it feels when your loved leaves you alone
Preeta : what do you mean?
Akira ; because of your parents we lost our mom, look at this (throws newspaper on her face)
Preeta stands shocked reading the newspaper that mentions her father was proved guilty of hitting Akira's mother car.
Preeta : I don't believe this news, my dad could not kill anyone, this is all fake (tears the newspaper)
Akira : it is the truth, and now you don't have any choice Ms Preeta Arora, you have one day to think over
Preeta in depression walks on road reminding Akira's words. Even the thinking of separating from the people she loves to the core kills her like slow poison. Next day everybody gathers at CM's house for the final verdict of the group.
