At 5.00 a.m. , the next morning, Raman saw Ishita entering their room to take her clothes to take a bath.
Raman: Itne jaldi uth gayi? Kahi jaana hai... Emergency hai kya?
Ishita: Kuch kaam hai... Lekin, don't worry. Main saari tayaariyan karne ke baad hi joongi. Main Ruhi ko bhi school chod dungi. (With a fake smile) Aap jaise busy CEO ke pass kitne saare kaam hoga... I understand...
Ishita: Lekin aap... Aap jage hue kyon ho? Aaram kijiye na. Kitna bhag dhoud bhi karna padega aapko? Take rest...
Ishita's words were piercing Raman... His guilt was also killing him. Before he could convince her, Ishita swiftly left from there closing the door behind her. Ishita engaged herself in ever single work to keep herself engaged and made sure than Raman doesn't even get a single minute to converse with Ishita.
Whenever Raman tried to talk something, she had ready-made reasons to escape from that place. At times, at was Ruhi else Romi or her Mummyji... Something or the other... Raman was restlessly pacing in his room...
Raman: (Self talk) Yeh Ishita... Isse kya hogayi. Gussa hai toh mujhe daant leti... Yeh kya silent treatment de rahi hai... Angry cold stares ke saath... Agar kuch poochne ki koshish karta hoon toh ek fake smile ke saath mujhe sata rahi hai. Aisa kyon hota hai mere saath? Itna complicated kyon hai mera life?
Raman got Shagun's call asking him to come there to collect the papers relating to that car.
Raman: Abhi... Shagun. Baad mein aake collect kar loonga... Kya? Kya bakwaas hai yeh? Fikar hai isliye yeh sab kar raha hoon... Teek hai... Abhi aa raha hoon...
Ishita knocked their room's door...
Raman: Ishita... Kya naya aadat hai yeh? Humare kamre ke darwaje ko knock karne ki kya zaroorat?
Ishita: Tameez honi chahiye... Also, logon ko apne aaukat mein rehna shobha deta hai.
Raman cursed himself for asking that to her.
Raman: Kuch kam tha?
Ruhi: Bye bolne aaye the hum dono...
Raman: Oh... Tayaar ho gayi... Bye Ruhi... Bye Ishita...
Ishita followed Ruhi without answering Raman. Raman started towards Shagun's house skipping his breakfast.
Ishita reached Ashok's apartment and reached the car parking area. The white car...with the same number with a evil eye dangling was standing there majestically...
Ishita: (Self talk) Yehi hai woh gaadi. Matlab, i'm right. Raman issi gaadi ke baare mein baat karne gaya hoga uss lawyer ke pass. Gaadi yahan khadi hai... Iska matlab culprit bhi yahi hai. Ashok ya Parmeet nahi ho saktha. Agar hota toh Raman un logon ko protect kyon karega? Toh... Bacha kyon... Shagun aur Adi. Adi bacha hai... Iska matlab Shagun ne kiya yeh sab... Raman Shagun ko bacha raha hai? Haan... yehi hoga... Isliye woh message... Lekin kyon???
When Ishita was confused about the reality, another shock was before her... She saw Raman's car coming inside. She saw Shagun approaching Raman with some papers in her hand. She could see them talking animatedly. She decided to find the truth and went near them...
Shagun: Bahut ho gayi... Tumse nahi ho raha hai na... Rehne do... Itne der kara diya aane mein bhi...
Raman: Please Shagun. Traffic tha. Isme meri kya galti? Tum bhi jaanthi ho ki main yeh sab kyon kar raha hoon. Tumse milne ke liye gharwalon se jhooth bolkar aa raha hoon...
Shagun: Itna takleef kyon le raho ho? Jaane do na mujhe jail...
Raman: Stop it... Itna koshish tumhe bachane ke liye hi kar raha hoon aur tum... Jail jail jail... Kuch nahi hoga tumhe. Main hone nahi doonga. Iss case ko jaldi close kar loonga...
Totally devastated Ishita held the car nearby for support making the theft alarm go off... Raman and Shagun turned towards the direction from where the sound was coming. Raman saw Ishita running away from there with her hands occasionally wiping her tears off...
Raman: Oh god... Ishita...
Shagun: Wah... Kya plan banaya? Ishita ko saare sach batane ke liye...
Raman: SHUT UP... Ek aur shabdh agar teri iss gandi muh se nikla toh gala daba doonga tera... Idiot...
Raman threw all the papers on Shagun's face and got into his car to follow Ishita's car. He lost track of her red car and stopped his car midway.
Raman: (Self talk) Kahan gayi hogi... Clinic... ya Ghar... (He called both the places to be disappointed)... Ishita... Kahan ho? Jahan tak main tumhe jaanta hoon, tum kisi se yeh baat share nahi karogi... Toh kahan gayi Ishita? Main jaanta hoon ki main galat hoon. Give me one chance to explain Ishita. Agar saza dena hi hai, toh mujhe do... Khud ko nahi...
In some other part of the city, Ishita was driving her car recklessly. The tears which were continuously welling up in her eyes which was blurring the vision for her again and again... She was continuously wiping her tears while she was upset with Raman...
Ishita: (Self Talk) Raman ne Shaugn ko bachane ke liye poore parivaar se khooth bola... Maine toh khud unse iss case ko drop karne ke liye bola tha na? Tab bade bade baatein kar raha tha lekin aaj... Shagun ke liye kal Ruhi pe chillaya... Mera bharosa thod diya... Kyon Raman? Phir se kismet ne mujhe dhoka de diya... Pehle Subbu ab aap... Shagun sahi hai... Main kabhi Shagun ke jagah nahi le sakthi... Main toh sirf Ruhi ke liye kiya hua ek samjoutha hoon... Aur...
BOOM... Ishita's car crashed into a truck... Her tears did the damage... She failed to notice the truck and there she was... in a unconscious state...
