Soon everyone among the neighbour, relative and friends got to know about this incident. One day, while prafulla was buying vegetables.

Ra: (sits beside her) maa....shant ho jao....(tries to calm her down)

Another day, one of jagats friend visits.

Jagat remains silent and raavi listens all this as she prepared tea. She couldn't do anything just sigh.

Like this, a week passes. The neighbour and known kept on bring up the topic hurting raavi's family.

One night, raavi comes to take water and finds jagat sitting in hall. She could hear the sobbing sound. She goes to him and kneels in front of him.

Ra: (slowly) papa....

Ja: (emotional and cracking voice) itne saal ki ijjat....sab uchal ke chali gyi....

Ra: (with teary eyes) papa....

Ja: (crying) pyaar karti thi...aur humare pyaar ka kya.......1-2 saal ka pyaar humare 24 saal ke pyaar se bada ho gya....(cries)

Ra: (trying to console him) aap so jayiye papa....tabiyat kharab ho jayegi.....

Ja: kaise neend aayegi....hn...kaise.....(cries)

Raavi makes him stand up. She takes him to his bed and makes him sleep. As jagat drifts to sleep, Raavi rushes to terrace and cries her heart out. Taking all this was getting more and more difficult for her. and after thinking about her and shiva's relationship, her heart breaks into piece. After some time see stops crying. She wipes her tears and thinks to give her parents time to come out of this situation. She opens shiva's picture in her phone and holds it close to her heart.
