He doesn't look at her as he bites his inner cheek while looking at the Plants in front of them far away from them.

As silence comes and sits in between the two siblings, Vihaan takes deep breathes playing with his fingers and finally opens his mouth saying calmly, "We trusted an outsider more than ourselves, that was our fault, not yours. You did a great job. You should be proud of yourself. Why are you apologising?"

She turns her head towards him in a blink of eyes and stares at him speechlessly. He did not dare to look up and meet her eyes. He still needed a lot of courage to do so.

"More over, it's us who should apologise to you. You just said what was true. . . .We trusted an outsider whom we hardly knew without caring to even check her background and all that. . . .I became blind when I met her. . .and my family and friends had to bear the consequences for my blindness." He says looking at the sky.

Nishi blinks in disbelief and shock looks evident on her face. She didn't expect him to understand his mistake that easily but then she remembers his confession on live news. He was truly guilty for his actions.

Manav told him how was her reaction when she saw his confession online but still, he understands that it still will not rub away the wound he gave her on that evening in the party, it will not vanish those moments from her past when he said those painful words to her. It came from her own brother for whom she came here this far against her own will and he was the one who slapped her and broke all ties with her so easily just for an outsider whom he trusted more than himself without even caring to find out about her properly before getting involved with a stranger.

She thought he will shout at her and will scold her. But this Vihaan . . . . . this Vihaan who is sitting in front of her, calm and composed, this Vihaan is far away thousand times different from his previous version. He is not the same the Vihaan who used to growl on her for small things or ignore her presence as if she was never born. In fact, now he took care of little things about her, he was taking all the details of her health just to make sure that she is safe and sound, just to make sure that she is comfortable enough with her rest time in the hospital.

'You saved his Nikki.' A voice whispers again making her frown and look at her brother. He was looking at his hands now.

She was confused, surprised, shocked, happy, sad, angry. She was feeling so much that she was totally confused about how to react? She was confused at his words because she doesn't know if he is caring out of concern or out of gratitude? She inspects all of her encounters with him in her memory card and looks away concluding that the voice is not wrong. This worried it.

She was happy though, because she wanted him to know about Avni's reality as soon as possible but she was sad too because his trust was broken badly just like her.

Vihaan takes a deep breath, licks his lips and says looking at the trees in front of them, "When she came to meet you and accepted her crime, when she . . . .she. . . when she shot you. . . .Ritesh recorded everything and sent me directly as proof." Vihaan says with a straight face.

Nishi was listening to him attentively. Her lips lift apart hearing that in confusion. 'What did they need that recording for?' She thinks.

'Did the doctors leave some screws lose during the surgery? Of course, for proof, dumbo!' Her mind says making her bite her tongue looking away at her sudden dumbness.
