After 2 weeks on Friday evening, Avu was going home from hospital as usual. She was thinking about the meeting which has been moved to one day earlier, that is tomorrow. She had learned fighting completely by now. She used to carry a gun with her. She reached home and went inside when she saw a knife in Noor's hand. Her knife, which is really sharp. Just a little pressure can draw out blood and can be used from both sides. 

Avu: Noor, chakku se kaun khelta hai, lag jati toh? Tera dimaag kharab hua hai kya? [Noor, who plays with a knife, what if you got hurt? Have you gone mad?]

Ash: Avu, yeh chakku humara nahi hai, kaha se aaya? [Avu, this knife isn't ours, where did it come from?]

Avu took the knife from her carefully and kept it in the kitchen drawer before going back to her. 

Avu: Jiska bhi tha, abhi andar rakh diya hai. [Whoever's it was, I have kept inside now.]

Just then they heard the bell ring. They went and opened it to see Randeep. But today he looked hurt and guilty. 

Avu: Randeep? Andar aao. Ash paani le aa na. [Randeep? Come in. Ash get water.]

She went away to get water, unaware to who is this unknown guest. 

Avu: Randeep, kya hua hai? [Randeep, what has happened?]

That's when the tears in his eyes fell down. Today is the first time she had seen him cry, well she hadn't seen him many times but still. 

Randeep: I am so sorry Avu, maine jo bhi kiya, sabke liye sorry. [I am so sorry Avu, whatever I did, sorry for all that.]

Avu: Randeep, usme tumhari nahi, Ritika ki galti thi. Par aaj suddenly kya hua? [Randeep, it wasn't your fault, it was Ritika's. But what happened today suddenly?]

Randeep: Abhishek, Vaishnavi aur Siddharth ki ek friend hai, Ashi. Siddharth aur Abhishek ki cousin bhi hai. Wo shift ho gayi thi aur kuch mahino pehle waapis aayi thi. Hum dono ek dusre se pyaar karte hai. Usne mujhe bataya ki Ritika ne kuch galat kiya tha uske dosto ke saath. Maine bola ki uske pehle chaar dost the jinhone use waisa banaya. Par jab usne naam bataya apne dosto ka, maine uska bhi yakeen nahi kiya, mai apni behen ke pyaar mein andha tha. Hum dono ka jhagda hua. Usko khone ka dar tha mujhe, isliye kuch wakt baad maan gaya uski side ki baat sunne ke liye. Tab usne mujhe sab bataya, aur mai use Abhishek ki baato se relate kar paya. Par abhi bhi mujhe vishwaas nahi ho raha tha ki Ritika ne apne obsession ke liye yeh sab kiya. Lekin Ashi ne mujhe support kiya aur ab mai finally accept kar paa raha hu ki Ritika ne meri protectiveness ka faida uthaya. Aur usne woh suicide sirf fake kiya tha, par baadme accident mein uski death huyi. Kaash mai pehle samajh paata. [Abhishek, Vaishnavi and Siddharth have one friend, Ashi. She is Siddharth's and Abhishek's cousin also. She had shifted away and returned few months back. We love each other. She told me that Ritika had done something wrong with her friends. I said that she had four friends earlier who made her like this. But when she said her friends' names, I didn't believe her, I was blind in my sister's love. We both got into a fight. I was scared of losing her, that's why I agreed to listen her side of the story eventually. Then she said me everything, and I could relate it with Abhishek's words. But I still couldn't believe Ritika would do all this just for obsession. But Ashi supported me and now I have finally accepted that Ritika had taken advantage of my protectiveness. She had just faked suicide, but died in an accident later. I wish I understood this earlier.]

 The hurt he was feeling after knowing his sister, who he loved the most, was doing nothing but lying to him and that he was about to destroy their lives despite them being right. Avu hugged him, to show that they will forgive him and that she was now there for him, as a sister that Ritika could never be. 

Randeep: I was supposed to tell all this to Abhi, Sid and Vaish but I didn't have the courage to face them and their mother. 

Avu: We can tell them now, over call. 

Avu gave him the water and called Abhi.
