She says that this mangalsutra means a lot to her and she is very thankful to him for getting it back for her. Dhruv in the meantime, gets a new mangalsutra for Ved with the money he has in hand. But he is worried and upset that this new mangalsutra does not have the same meaning in their lives as the one Ved wore till now... Shivam tells Nih that she should not be upset, she should get out of her sorrow.. Nih is shocked. Shivam also says that its true that it has been only 3 months since she lost her husband.

Ved tells him very sweetly that Ayush got it for her, he paid 30,000Rs for the mangalsutra. But she has asked him to keep this as a loan, she will repay it in few months from her salary. Dhruv is pissed off now, he gets up from the bed. He screams at Ved to stop it. Ved is shocked. Dhruv tells her that Ayush has not paid a mere 30,000 for this, but he has spent 5 lakh rupees to get this back. Ved is shocked to hear this. Dhruv tells Ved everything, starting with he going to Rasiklal's place and then to the Lala who bought it for Ayush. Dhruv screams that he may be helpless without money , but he is not foolish enough to dfall a prey to her sweet words. Ved says this is wrong, he must have had a misunderstanding about the money. Dhruv says that this is the truth, whether you believe it or not. Dhruv then taunts her, says that afterall, i am a waiter, what can a husband like me afford to his wife? I give you no happiness. But you are lucky enough to have such a great and largehearted boss, says Dhruv. Ved is in tears. Ved asks, what did i do? I never knew that he paid such a big price for this. Dhruv cries, says that it was not easy for me to hear all that. I am not stoneheatred to digest what i heard. I heard people saying that he was a Paagal Aashiq who paid that price for his lover's mangalsutra. They said he is the shahjahan of modern times who got this for his Mumtaz. Dhruv cries, says how could i bear this? Ved screams, says this is wrong. I never knew anything about this. If what you say is true, then i will give back this mangalsutra to Ayush, says Ved. dhruv again screams, tells why will u give? He is so mad at you that he did this favour for you. Why are you changing colours before me? I bet he would not have got this for you without your permission, says Dhruv. Ved tries to explain that she knew nothing of it. But Dhruv does not listen. Dhruv claps his hands, says that Ved has now shown to the world that he is incapable of being a good husband. He says that he has seen thro her mask of goodness, he now knows what she really is. He points hands at her, says that i know your real face. Ved is in bursting out in tears. Dhruv does not listen, he walks away. Ved cries a lot.
Dhruv goes down, is standing in the compound of the chawl. He is crying bitterly now. He takes otu the jewel box from his pocket in which the new mangalsutra is there. He takes it out, holds the black beaded mangalsutra in hand. He cries, he looks totally dejected. He presses it against his palms, he cries a lot as he does this. He then throws it into the air, giving out a desperate yell. He then falls to the ground, sits on his knees, cries and cries like a kid. Ved sees him from above. She is also in tears, seeing her husband's pathetic situation. Down ther, Dhruv continues to weep bitterly like a kid. Ved keeps seeing him from above, she too weeps. ( A very touching scene, this!!!)
Ayush's house. Door bell. The servant opens the door. Ved is there. She asks the servant where Ayush is. He says he is in his room. Ved barges upstairs, walks straight into Ayush's room. Ayush is working on the table, when Ved comes there, with a stary look on her face. Ayush is shocked to see her and asks her, is all ok? Ved comes in, she tells him that nothing is going right. He is shocked, he gets up. Ved has a serious look on her face. She tells him that he might be rich, he might have lots of money, but it is not good on his part to have lied to her. He told her that he bought the mangalsutra for her at a price of 30,000 but the fact is that he bought it for 5 lakhs. Ayush is shocked. Ved says that he betrayed her, gifted that to her after paying such a huge amount. She asks him in plain words, why did you do this? She says that it was a suhaag ki nishaani for me,i am just an employee of yours. There is a relationship bewteen the employee and a boss. So why did you cross that limit, she asks him. She says that if you considered me as a friend, then that relationship too has its own limits. Why did you forget that? Why did you fo this costly favour on me? She says that his big favours are proving very costly for her. She says that this is taking her sindoor away from her. She says that bcos of this, her more important relationships are on the verge of breaking. She says that if a husband gives this mangalsutra to his own wife, then it holds the meaning. But now that you have given this to me, this mangalsutra has lost all its meaning. So this has no place in my life anymore. Saying this, she places it on the table. She tells him that he needs to treat her as just another employee from now on. She tells him that she does not want to pay a big price for whatever he is doing. She says that this has put so many questions before her, so it will be better that he does not interfere in her personal matters from now on. She says this very firmly and walks from there. Ayush is completely stunned at the new development. Ved walks down the stairs in a hurry. Ayush's mom sees her going. She realises that something is wrong.
Ved is back home. It is late night. Dhruv is not there in the room. Little Krishna is fast asleep in the bed. Ved goes near him, puts a pillow as protection for him. She is now worried about Dhruv, wonders where he is. She conmes out to the balcony, sees here and there to see whether Dhruv is there. She then gets down the stairs. She then sees broken parts of a mangalsutra on the floor. Theblack beads lie scattered all over the place, the entire mangalsutra is broken into pieces. She sees it, is shocked. She cries bitterly, on seeing it. She sits down on the gorund, takes all the broken pieces of it. She cries as she holds the pendant in hand. She feels sorry for what has happened. She cries a lot. She then sees here and there to see whether Dhruv is present. She then sights Dhruv sitting in a place on a log. Ved ties all the bits of the mangalsutra in her palloo. She gets up, goes to Dhruv. Dhruv is in tears. Ved puts her hand over him. She tells him that she has been searching for him all over the place. She tells him that she got a fear asto where he went. Ved with tears running down her cheeks tels Dhruv thatshe never knew that Ayush bought it for such a huge sum. She asks him to belive her. She tells that if he does not believe her, then she requests him to forgive her. Dhruv is also in tears now. Ved cries, tells him that he should not be angry at her. She says that she does not want those costly things from now on.What she wants and desires is just his love. She says that the red dhaaga he tied around her will be her mangalsutra from now on. She says that that is everything for her and she does not want anything else. She weeps, Dhruv also weeps. She asks him to forgive her and see him. She pleads to him not to be cross with her and turn his face away from her. But Dhruv does not turn his face towards her. Ved falls on his shoulders and weeps. Dhruv too continues to weep.
Morning. Dhruv is getting ready to go for work. Ved comes with tea tray in hand. Ved casually tells him to have tea. Dhruv stares at her, Ved does not bother, continues to be casual. Dhruv says he does not want it. Ved says he can habe breakfast, as that is also ready. Dhruv says he is not hungry. Ved says how can he not be hungry? Dhruv gives another stare at her. Ved is upset. But she still continues and says that if they both can manage to come home early today, they can take Krishna out. Its been a long time since they spent some valuable time with Krishna, says Ved. Dhruv tells that she might have a very kind boss ,but he is not that lucky and his boss is not kind enough to allow him to go early for such a small reason. Saying this, Dhruv walks out of the room. Ved is now in tears.
Dhruv is at the poolside, arranging all chairs. AYush comes there, he is standing at the other side of the pool. Both see each other. Ayush and Dhruv now walk towards each other, come face to face . Dhruv stares at him. Ayush asks him to forgive him. He says that he made a mistake and he is sorry for that. Dhruv after hearing this, walks from there, goes near the chairs, starts to rearrange them. Ayush follows him, talks mo0re. He says that he sees him and Ved as an ideal couple. He repsects them, he took more liberty being their friend. He says that he actually wanted to clear all the problems and misunderstanding they both had. He went overemotional in doing that and crossed the limits. He says that he is at fault, so he should blame him for that and not Ved. Dhruv at once lifts his head, stares at him. He asks Ayush, so Ved sent you here, is it? Ayush says , no she did not send me here. I did a mistake, so why should she send me here? Dhruv asks him to stop. He tells Ayush that he knows everything. He says that he has come here to laugh at his povery and helplessness. He says that misunderstanding and forgiveness are just drama. Dhruv with a very emotional look says that he cannot get forgiveness from a husband whose sentiments he has hurt. He thanks Ayush for actually telling his own wife, how helpless and small he is. He says that being such a small person, he is fit to do only a small job, unlike him, who is buried in wealth. Dhruv says that you being a friend, who gave you the right to buy Ved's mangalsutra for such a big price? Who gave you the permission to interfere in our personal lives? Who are you to buy that for her? asks Dhruv very strongly. Dhruv tells Ayush that he will never have an answer for all these questions. He tells him that he has lots of work to do, so he is going in. saying this, Dhru walks in, Ayush keeps calling him, but he goes...
Tomorrow: Ayush is sitting worried in his cabin, when Ved comes there. She gives her resignation letter. Ayush is shocked, he asks but why? Why are you punishing me like this for a small mistake? He says that he did all this unknowingly. He says he is sorry for what he did. Ved says i understand, but this work of mine is actually breaking my mairred life. AYush is shocked as Ved says this...
