The story picks up from the moment ACP Laxmi visits, and Raghav sees her talking to Pallavi. Instantly, he assumes Pallavi is conspiring against him with Laxmi, and without getting his facts straight, he confronts her. He lashes out, hurling hurtful accusations, and in his frustration, even tells her to leave him.
Despite the intensity of the moment, Pallavi stands her ground, her voice unwavering. "I won't leave you, Raghav. You can't just push me away like this!" But as the argument escalates, Raghav crosses a line, questioning her love for him.
That's when Pallavi reaches her breaking point. In a moment of sheer anguish, Raghav calls her the biggest mistake of his life, stating that loving her was his worst decision. The pain in his words cuts through her, and she feels as if the ground has shifted beneath her.
The next day, after spending the whole night in tears, Pallavi silently packs her bags, preparing to leave for Kolhapur. Just as she's about to go, Raghav wakes up from his drunken stupor. Disoriented, he looks around the room, sees the remnants of their argument, and starts recalling the hurtful words he threw at her. Realizing the gravity of what he's done, he frantically searches for Pallavi, but can't find her. As he reaches the stairs, he spots her leaving with a suitcase in hand.
At first, Raghav thinks she's heading to the Deshmukh house, but when he realizes she's going to Kolhapur, he knows he has to act fast.As he heads to the Deshmukh house first, which delays him even more, and by the time he reaches the train station, Pallavi has already boarded the train. Still, in a last-ditch effort, Raghav manages to catch the train at the final moment, unsure whether Pallavi is even on board or not, but determined to find her and make things right.
But as they say, when all doors close, you just have to make a new one. And knowing Raghav, once he makes up his mind, nothing can stop him, no matter what.
Now, Raghav finds himself running from compartment to compartment, his heart racing with hope that he might find her in the next one. He pushes through the crowded aisles, glancing quickly at every seat, but no sign of Pallavi yet. Just as he's about to give up hope, his eyes land on her—there she is, sitting by the window, lost in her own world.
Relief washes over him, but he quickly realizes the real challenge lies ahead. How does he approach her after everything? If he just walks up to her, will she slap him again? He's been collecting slaps like they're going out of style, and this time, it might happen in front of a whole train full of people.
But he can't afford to let her go.
Gathering his courage, he knows that even if a slap awaits him, he can't turn back now. He takes slow, careful steps toward her, his mind racing to find the right words. This isn't just about an apology; it's about fighting for her, for them, for the future they deserve—one he had almost destroyed but desperately wants to rebuild.
Jo bhi ho, main Pallavi ko jaane nahi dega, he thinks, his resolve strengthening with every step.
As Raghav spots Pallavi on the train, he knows this journey will be long—not just in kilometers, but in making things right. The anger in her eyes when she sees him sneak into the compartment is enough to send chills down his spine, but if there's one thing Raghav Rao never does, it's back down.
Pallavi gives him an icy look, arms crossed, refusing to meet his gaze. He plops down in the empty seat beside her, his sheepish smile falling flat under her glare.
"Tum yeh kya kar rahe ho? Tumhe Hyderabad mein hona chahiye tha," she mutters, her voice laced with hurt.
Raghav forces a smirk, trying to lighten the tension. "Hyderabad mein tha, par ab Kolhapur mein tumhare saath hoon. Tumhe akela kaise jaane deta? Tum toh meri patni ho."
