Rishab is very sad.
Rishab:Why is Piya ignoring me Madhu?
Madhu doesn't know how to console him.
Madhu:Something must be hindering her.
Rish:What can hinder her?I hope she is not in danger.
Rishab and Madhu get tensed.
After a month...
Piya vomits.
Abhay comes there.
ABHAY:Piya..are you ok?
PIYRISHAB:You want to know that?Then listen.I'm pregnant with your baby.
Abhay is shocked.
Piya cries.
ABHAY:We can tell the truth to Rishab.He loves you madly.He will accept you.
PIYA:I know that.But i don't want him to be the father of your child as this baby is a sinner's creation.I don't want Rishab to carry a burden.
Rishab gets a phone call.
"Rishab..."
Rishab recognizes the voice: Piya...
He is surprised.He is overexcited.She becomes emotional.But she controls herself.
RISHAB:Why did'nt you call me all these months Piya?I missed you very much.
Piya's eyes are wet:I'm coming tomorrow.
He is surprised:Really?But your studies?
PIYA:I'm discontinuing my studies.I'm fed up.
RISHAB:Oh!Anyways i'm happy that you are coming back.I'm fed up of living a life without you.
Her tears flow down.
She says in her mind:I'm sorry Rishab.I'm not coming back to make you happy.I can only wound your heart.
Rishab jumps with joy.
Madhu:Rishu!
RISHAB:Madhu..i'm so happy.Piya is coming back.
MADHU:That's a happy news.
RISHAB:I can't wait till tomorrow.
Rishab and Madhu go to the airport.Piya comes towards them.
RISHAB:Hi Piya.
MADHU:Hi Piya.You look tired.Guess the journey was tiring.
Piya:Little bit.
RISHAB:Piya...I'm so happy that you are back.
He embraces her.Piya was numb suppressing her misery.
Rishab:Let us get married soon.I can't wait anymore.
Madhu notices that Piya is not happy being in Rishab's embrace.
She thinks:Why does Piya look so indifferent even though she is meeting Rishu after a long time?Did the life in abroad change her?
Piya broke the embrace.
PIYA:I want to get married soon.i can't wait anymore.
Rishab smiles.
PIYA:But i won't marry you.I'm going to marry the father of my baby.
Rishab and Madhu are shocked.
PIYA:Abhay.He is my baby's father.
Abhay comes from behind.
Rishab and Madhu are shocked.Rishab is numb.He has no reaction.
Madhu raises her voice:How could you both cheat Rishu?
Piya:We have no time to answer your question Madhu.
Madhu:How can ignore my question?
Piya and Abhay try to leave the place without answering her question.Madhu blocks the way.
Piya shoves off her hand rudely and leaves the place holding Abhay's hand.Madhu is shocked about Piya's rough nature.
Madhu looks at Rishab.He is numb.
MADHU:Rishu..
He is still numb.She shakes him weeping:Speak some thing Rishu.
Slowly tears roll down his cheeks.
RISHAB:I lost everything Madhu.
She feels upset for him.He is shattered.She sits close to him with tears.He rests his head on her shoulder.
Madhu thinks:I'm struggling for words to console Rishu.
Abhay and Piya go to Abhay's house.
Abhay looks at his father Shekhar Kundra.
ABHAY:Dad...I and Piya have decided to get married.
Shekhar and his wife Radha are shocked.
Radha:What nonsense! Piya was in love with Rishu.How can you marry Rishu's girl?
It pricks Abhay's heart.Piya stares at him.
ABHAY:But they broke up mom.
S:I can't understand why Piya is after my sons.I can't accept her as my daughter in law.
Piya bears insult controlling her tears.
ABHAY:Piya is going to be my child's mother.
Shekhar and his wife Radha are shocked.
Radha:Please don't be against their marriage.It will harm our reputation as Piya is our son's baby's mom.
Shekhar is helpless.He decides to conduct their wedding.
Madhu comes home with a sad face.
Rishab:Why is your face looking dull?
She thinks:How can i tell it to Rishu?
RISHAB:Is there is something serious?
MADHU:Rishu..Piya and Abhay are getting married tonight.
Rishab's heart is torn.
Madhu is tensed about his reaction.
Madhu:Rishu...let her go.She doesn't deserve your love.And Abhay doesn't deserve to be your brother.
He runs to his room silently and cries.
Madhu thinks:What Rishu feels is true.Shekhar uncle is cruel.He did'nt want Rishu and Piya to get married.But he is conducting Abhay's wedding with Piya.May be because Piya is pregnant with Abhay's baby.
Abhay and Piya get married.
Piya wipes the sindoor and removes the bindi after entering the bedroom.
PIYA:I hate putting sindoor as it signifies my relationship with Abhay.
She sits there with tears.Abhay enters the room and notices Piya's face without bindi and sindoor.He is upset.
Abhay:You sleep on the bed.I will sleep on the sofa.
She shouts:After using me what is the need of sleeping somewhere else like a decent man?
Abhay feels upset.
But he lies on the sofa itself without replying as he is guilty.
Madhu sees Rishab crying.She goes to him.
M:Rishu!
R:Madhu...I lost Piya forever.She got married.But I am not the bride groom,my brother is in my place.
Madhu feels helpless.
She caresses his face:Don't be weak Rishu.You should move on.
Rishab bursts into tears:I can't.
M:You can Rishu.Promise me that you will never cry again thinking of Piya.
Rishab hesitates.
M:Won't you listen to me Rishu?
He wipes his tears.
Slowly he holds her hand:I promise you that I won't cry again.Because my tears hurt you.
She smiles:That's my Rishu.
Slowly he smiles slightly just to make her happy.
