Vansh:( Disbeilf ) Really ?
Kabir : Yes , I know we broke up but we still love each other . Is it wrong that I touched her ? If you lay a finger on me , It won't be good .

The next day , Riddhima wandering in the garden while sipping the coffee .

Riddhima in her room holding herself tightly wrapping her arms around herself .
Riddhima : (sobbing ) Again I broke my heart , Because I believed he would love me some day .
It's all because of me , I did that to myself . I deserve this heart break .
When somebody is already close to the heart , No matter how many times I knock the door . He is not going to open .
Obviously He doesn't have any feelings for me , He was trying to marry me off .
Riddhima starts remembering the first time her hope and heart broke .
Flashback :
Riddhima was in a call with Vansh and He told her that he was going to get married .
Riddhima doesn't utter word , while she was pouting her lips annoyed .
Vansh : You still wouldn't speak to me ? This time you need to speak to me and attend my wedding .
Riddhima hears Ragini's voice .
Ragini : Pass me the phone , I will convince her .
Riddhima furiously gritting her teeth hangs up the call .
Riddhima : ( Controlling her sobs ) If he calls again , Tell him that I hate him and that women .
I hate both of them .
Riddhima runs away from there and throws herself on the bed Sobbing .
Flashback ends ...
Riddhima :( In mind ) That time I took care myself, assuming That I was a Kid . Maybe I have to accept and I moved on too .
Only to realize , I just can't move on from you .
I dated many but I tried to find you in others .
When the heard about you cancelled marraige . I was on cloud nine and I just thought to be honest with my feelings to you and make you fall for me .
Riddhima starts remembering the cruise meet after years of being apart and the first words she uttered out of her mouth were her honest feelings .
A smile curves as she remembers all the moments on the cruise closing her eyes .
