Mihika : "Hey Ishu, this is so ridiculous yaar. Bechara Raman, he has been following you for an year. You kept on ignoring him. Please accept his love yaar," she said as they sat down in their class.
Anushka : "Haan Ishu, Miku is right. He loves you so sincerely that he ignores all the other girls who are following him. He loves you so much. You should be lucky to have him as a life partner."
Ishita : "Shut up the both of you! I know what I am doing. Love... It can never be in my life! You say I ignore him right? It's because he doesn't deserve me. He doesn't deserve a cursed woman in his life. He has a golden heart. His love is very pure. He's a gem of a person. That's why he doesn't deserve this thrash (referring to herself) in his life. Please, I just want him to live a happy life. I don't want him to suffer by getting me as a life partner. I am sure he will get a better life partner than me," she said as tears rolled down her eyes.
Mihika and Anushka consoled her as they knew why she's talking like that. She composed herself as Raman entered the class. Little did she know that he heard every single word of hers.
Raman thought, "Why is she calling herself a cursed woman? Why does she tell that she's thrash? I need to get to know about it."
The whole class settled down as the Professor entered the classroom.

- Break Time -
Virat : "Arey Raman, where are you lost? I have been observing you since today morning. You're thinking about something so deeply. What's bothering you? Batao na Bhai..." he asked as he gulped down some orange juice.
Before Raman could say anything a man wearing a kurta tapped Raman's shoulder. That man was looking like a body builder. His face was fuming with anger.
"Yahan Raman Bhalla kon hai?" the man asked fuming in anger.
Raman : "Mein hun, Raman Bhalla. Aapko kya chahiye?" he asked without realising the trouble he's going to get into.
"Tum ho? Ek aadmi aayi hai tum mein milne ki liye. Mera saath aao. I will bring you to that man," he said as he signalled Raman to follow him.
Raman : "You 2 wait here, I will go and see who's there," he walked away with that Man after telling this to Mihir and Virat.
Virat : "Mihir, I am feeling very bad yaar. Why did Raman go? We should have gone with him. That man doesn't look good."
Mihir : "Even I feel the same, Virat. Come, let's go and see what's happening."
Saying so they walked in the same direction Raman went with that Man. They halted after hearing someone screaming in pain. Hearing those screams they ran towards the place Raman went to.
There, they saw Raman in a pool of blood while a man warned him.
Man : "Stay away from Ishita. If I get to know you're still after her, you won't be alive the next time I see you," saying so that Man along with some others went away leaving Raman moan in pain.
Mihir and Virat rises to Raman who was unconscious. They called the ambulance and took him to the hospital.

- Meanwhile in the canteen -
Anu : "Kahan hai tera hero? He's not in the canteen. Usually, he will come to you during the break time," as she completed they heard the sirens of the ambulance.
Ishita became worried and hurried to the place followed by Anu and Mihika.
They saw Raman being carried into the ambulance as Mihir and Virat were crying. Ishita went to them.
Ishita : "Mihir, Raman ko kya hua?"
He shrugged off her hand which was on his shoulder and boarded the ambulance.
Virat : "Stop it Ishita, don't pretend as if you don't know anything!" he hosted at her and followed Mihir.
Tears filled her eyes as she watched the ambulance go.
Mihika : "Hey Ishita... Don't cry yaar. You don't know what happened."
Ishita : "I want to be with Raman," she said as she fell on her knees and cried hiding her face into her palms.
Anu : "You want to be with Raman na, let's go to the hospital."
In no time, they were in the hospital.

- Hospital -
Ishita went to Virat after seeing them outside Raman's ward.
Ishita : "Virat, please batao. Who did this to Raman? What happened to him?"
Virat : "Stop it, Ishita! Don't pretend! It's all because of you! He loved you so much. But you... You could have slapped him and told him to not follow you but you acted so cheaply. He was a fool to fall in love with you. Just go away from here!" he roared at her as he wiped off his tears.
Anu : "Stop it Virat! She didn't even know what happened. Stop blaming her."
Virat : "I asked the 3 of you to get lost! Don't show me your faces!"
Mihir consoled Virat as tears starting to roll from Ishita's eyes.
Ishita putting her hand on Mihir's shoulder : "At least you tell me Mihir. Kya hua? Who did this to Raman?"
Mihir : "Why Ishita? Why are you acting as if you're innocent? You sent some goons to beat up Raman and warn him not to follow you. And now, you're behaving as if you did nothing? How can you do this to mdm Ishita? I didn't expect you to be so insensitive. You could have slapped him yourself and warned him but you? You chose the other way. Now, Raman is fighting for his life! Are you happy now?" he screamed at her making Ishita fall on the floor dejectedly.
Anu and Mihika rushed to her as she cried to them.
Ishita : "See Miku, what I told happened now. Raman is fighting for his life. What am I going to do? It's all my fault!" she said as she cried bitterly.
Mihika and Anushka tried to console her but in vain. The doctor came out from the ward which made all of them, including Ishita go to him.
Mihir : "How is he?" he question the doctor with trembling voice.
Doc : "I am sorry to say this. He's beaten very brutally. He left leg is fractured and there's a sprain in his left hand. Moreover, he has lost a lot of blood. But, don't worry, we have already arranged for the blood. He will be fine after getting the blood. But, someone has to take care of him until her fully recovers as I think it's going to be hard for him to work on his own with a broken leg and a sprain in his hand. So, don't worry, he's alright."
Seeing the doctor walk way after voicing this. Ishita heard Virat telling Mihir.
"I am scared Mihir. Who's going to take care of Raman? Aunty and Uncle are in London. I don't think they can come to take care of him. Though Daimaa is there, he needs someone else who will be with him 24/7. I am worried."
Without wasting a second Ishita came to them.
"Don't worry Virat, I will take care of him. He's my responsibility from now onwards. All this started because of me. So, I will solve it. Raman needs me and I will be there for him," she replied determined.
"Stop joking Ishita," Mihir retorted at her.
"No Mihir, I am being very serious. He need me. He needs my love and care. He's in this position because of me. I am not going to leave him alone this time. I have decided. So, stop interfering into our lives. I know how to take care of him."
Mihir, Mihika, Virat and Anu didn't know how to stop her. She was being so stubborn. Inside, they were happy that finally Ishita has accepted Raman.
Soon, Raman was shifted to the normal ward and the doctor informed them that he could be discharged the following day. Ishita requested to stay back that night with Raman to which everyone denied. Again, she was stubborn and none dared to argue with her. She sat next to Raman and held his hard slowly caressing it as everyone adored them.
Mihir and Virat were very happy for Raman that finally Ishita accepted his love. On the other side, Anu and Mihika were worried knowing Ishita's background.
Raman slowly opened his eyes feeling the soft caresses of Ishita. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw her beside him. He tried to get up only to moan in pain holding his leg. Ishita made him get up slowly chiding him for his carelessness.
"Can't you see, Raman. You're injured. You're so careless..." she continued chided him as he chuckled seeing her.
That was when the door of the ward opened with a bang scaring Ishita as she tightly held Raman's hand. A man with some goons was standing there with Shagun.
That was when Ishita realised who's the real reason for Raman's condition. She gave a deadly glare at Shagun which Shagun tried to ignore. Seeing the same man who beat him, Raman got scared and he tried to hide his face behind Ishita, holding her hand tight.
"Ishu! What are you doing? I already warned him to stay away from you! He won't disturb you again. Come, chalo mera saath," he roared while pulling Ishita with him.
She shrugged off his hand on her wrist.
"Stop it, Anna! I am NOT coming with you! Raman loves me. I won't leave him after what you did to him. How could you do this Anna? This is my life! I have always listened to you but today, no... I am not going to let you decide for me! Stay away from my life Anna!" she shouted at him making him freeze. Then she made her way towards Shagun.
"How could you do this Shagun? *slap* I know you liked Raman. But look at him now! I am sure you called Anna and told him about Raman. If not, Anna wouldn't have known about it! I did a huge mistake by trusting you and telling you about Bala Anna. I totally didn't expect this from you!" Another slap followed!
Shagun looked down in shame.
"Ishu, what is wrong with you? I am your Anna! You can't talk to me like this! Chalo, mera saath! If not, I don't mind to kill this idiot!" he exclaimed.
"I had enough Anna! Now, Raman is my priority. I won't EVER leave him! You got that?"
"Shut up, Ishu! I am keeping calm because I don't want to create a drama here! He's not even related to you! So, it's better you shut up and come with me!"
Without heeding to his words, Ishita went to outside the ward and took some sindoor from the small temple which was in the hospital. She came back to the ward with the sindoor shocking everyone. She took out a gold chain from her purse and sat beside Raman.
"Raman, this is my Amma's talli. Talli means Mangalsutra. After my Amma passed away, this is the only thing I have of hers which I kept it as her memory. I didn't want Anna to steal this away from me like he stole my Amma. So I hid it in my purse which is always with me. Anna said you are not related to me. If you love me so much Raman, marry me now. Make me yours in front of him! Shaadi karlo mujhse, Raman!"
