Raman storms in to the house and Ishita looks at him tensed.
Ishita: Raman. What's wrong? Has anything happened? Tell me.
Raman looks at her and thinks about all the lies he has told her. Keeping Shaguns misdeed a secret was the last. He needed to win back her trust. No matter how okay she acts with Raman. She will never feel the same trust for him again. The martial trust and bond between them had shattered completely. There was a strand of thread tying them together. It was back to square one, everything was "sirf Ruhi ke liye" for them. Raman looked around at his family. He had broken their faith and Mrs Iyer looked at him. Her eyes glared into his soul and his guilt tripled.
Mrs Iyer: Toshi, I will take your leave now.
Mrs Bhalla knew it was because of Raman.
Mrs Bhalla: Ji, thika. Namaste.
Mrs Bhalla got up and shows Mrs Iyer out and Raman stutters to say something but can't get the words out. Mrs Iyer leaves and Ishita waves goodbye.
Raman: Mummy-ji is everything okay.
Mrs Bhalla: Isake li'e jaruri nahim apake sabi savalom ka javaba dene ke li'e.
Raman realises she is copying his words. He calls Ishita to their room. They enter and Ishita behind to fold a sari and clean up a bit.
Raman: Ishita, sit.
She does so and looks at him curiously.
Ishita: I would tell you, apa mujhe kucha bhi kaha sakate haim but there would be no use.
Raman: Ishita please. I have to tell you something.
Ishita: About what, don't bother lying to me about anything.
Raman sees Ruhi and realises that he cannot say any thing in her presence.
Raman: Let's take Ruhi for picnic.
Ishita: With who, Shagun, Adi or is there someone else I should know about.
Raman: You, me and Ruhi.
Ishita: No I don't have time, I have to get to the clinic. I assume you have Shaguns number so just tell me when to convince Ruhi.
Ruhi is upset and walks away. Ishita is about to walk away when Raman grabs her arm.
Ishita: Raman! Mere hatha chora. I am too busy.
She tugs away and leaves. Raman looks upset and disappointed as she was no longer happy about the idea. She sees Ruhi walking out the door without informing anyone. She goes after her into the Iyer house. She sees Ruhi talking to Muthu and decides to not interfere. Mihika is about to enter but Ishita stops her and points at Ruhi. She signals her to be quiet and Mihika nods.
