The next morning...

Sahir woke up and after getting fresh, he immediately went to meet Zoya. He came downstairs and saw his Ammi and brother in the living room.

"Good morning. Where is Zoya?" asked Sahir. "Zoya is in the room. I feel very bad for her. Don't know what fate has more in store for her", said Alvira.

"Ammi, even I feel that I am seeing Zoya's duplicate. You know whenever she came here she rarely stopped talking", said Zaki. "But we all know what place Aditya had in her life. Now she doesn't even have her parents", replied Sahir.

"But why did Aditya tell her to leave Mumbai? His family is there and her family is also there", asked Zaki. "Zaki, you know that Aditya's family disliked Zoya and Zoya's parents also didn't like Aditya. I am sure whatever Aditya told her would be for her good. But I just have the regret that I promised both of them to protect them. I broke that promise. I didn't even attend his funeral", stated Sahir, remorsefully. "You didn't know that, Sahir. If you would have known that you wouldn't have..." said Alvira but she stopped speaking when they saw Zoya coming out of the room in the same clothes which she had been wearing since last two days.

They stopped talking as they saw Zoya coming out of the room in the same clothes which she has been wearing since last two days.

"I am sorry I came here like this at late night", said Zoya while apologising. "Why are you sorry? It is your house. You can come and go whenever you want", said Sahir.

"Come, let's have breakfast", offered Alvira. "I am not hungry, Aunty. I just came to tell you all that I'll leave from here today. I'll go to some other city", said Zoya. "Why?" asked Alvira.

"I cannot be a burden on all of you. I will leave from here", said Zoya, making Sahir angry. "And what about the promise you made to Aditya? Do you want him to stay mad at me as well? He sent you here so that we can take care of you. And you know that Sahir Azeem Chaudhary never breaks his promises", said Sahir a bit angrily.

"Why can't I break the promise when Aditya himself broke all the promises? He promised me to never leave my side. He promised me that we will spend our lives together. He had promised me that one day our families would accept us. He didn't keep a single promise", said Zoya while sniffing. "And what about the promises he kept? Didn't he promise you in the car that he will not let anything happen to you? He fulfilled his promise. Now it's your turn. He wouldn't be happy seeing you like this. I know it is not easy for you but you have to do this", said Sahir in a softer tone.

Zoya broke down in tears and said, "It's difficult, Sahir. It is very difficult." Sahir went to her and held her shoulders. "I know that. But you cannot lose hope like this. I am sending some spare clothes for you. Get ready quickly, then we will have breakfast", said Sahir.
