Three years had passed, but Armaan still couldn't accept that Abhira was gone. He remained emotionless, lost in his own world of denial and longing. Despite everyone's efforts to help him move on, he clung to the belief that Abhira was still alive.

His family was not able to see him like this. They were worried about his health. Because he would always keep himself busy in work and would come late at night and go early in the morning to the court. He rarely would spend his time with his family.

Whereas Ruhi, she also became silent. She used to miss Rohit a lot. She would cry daily at night praying to return Rohit back to her. Though she smiles infront of everyone but when she is alone she only talks to Rohit's photo asking him to come back to her.

Armaan had searched for Abhira and Rohit in all these three years and he is still searching but he couldn't get information about them.

In these three years, Armaan had realised his love for Abhira. Armaan's love for Abhira grew stronger each day, fueling his determination to find her. Despite the passage of time, his heart refused to let go of the hope that she was still out there somewhere. Ruhi's silent prayers for Rohit's return echoed Armaan's longing for Abhira.

"Armaan." Vidya called as she saw her son again going away at 8 in the morning without having breakfast.

"Ji Maa-sa." He said without looking at her.

"Beta, kab tak ese rahega. Kabhi toh Ghar par ruk. Kabhi toh humare saath baith kar khaana khaya kar pehle ki tarah." Vidya said.

"Mujhe bhukh nahi hai." He said and left from there.

Vidya's eyes again filled up with tears as she watched Armaan going away.

"Kya hua Vidya?" Madhav asked who just came downstairs.

"Ar... Armaan aaj phir jal...jaldi chala gaya." Vidya cried looking at him.

"Armaan ko kaise samjhayen, pata nahi. Har din woh humse door hota ja raha hai" Vidya continued.

"Haan, Vidya, mujhe bhi bohot chinta ho rahi hai." Madhav said looking at the entrance.

"Agar voh ese hi karta raha toh uski sehat par asar padega. Bimaar ho jaaega voh." Vidya said.

"Haan, bilkul, Vidya. Uski sehat ko lekar mujhe bhi bohot fikar hai. Hum bas yeh nahi dekh sakte ki voh aise apni zindagi ko barbaad kar raha hai." Madhav replied.

"Par kya karein? Kuch samajh nahi aa raha. Kaise usse roken, kaise usse samjhayen ki zindagi mein aage badhna zaruri hai," Vidya said.

"Hum use samjhane ke alava aur kuch nahi kar sakte." Madhav said.

"Teen saal ho gaye. In teen saalo mein humne use kitna samjhaya hai. Par voh humari baat hi nahi Maan raha hai. Maa-sa bhi koshish kar kar ke thak gayi hai. Unhe bohot bura lag raha hai use ese dekh kar. Voh yeh maanane ko taiyaar hai ki Abhira ab is duniya mein nahi rahi." Vidya said.

"Tum chinta mat karo. Sab theek ho jaaega. Hum koshish karenge use samjhane ki. Voh samjhega." Madhav said.

"Par humein ab kuch alag karna hoga. Shayad ab sirf samjhane se kaam nahi chalega." Vidya said.

"Haan, Vidya. Shayad tum sahi keh rahi ho. Hum sab milke kuch naya sochenge." Madhav agreed.

"Lekin kya, Madhav ji? Kuch socha hai aapne?" Vidya asked.
