Vineet has a conversation with Anamika at her room. She's asking him to come out of his cage. She's not demanding anything more. Vineet enters his room and locks the door. He moves into the washroom to take a shower before going to sleep. He turns on the shower and stands beneath it. The cold water drops on his body and he closes his eyes. Anamika's words are echoing in his ears.

Should he really open up? Should he move on? Won't this be equivalent to ditch his late wife? But she resides in his heart

Should he really open up? Should he move on? Won't this be equivalent to ditch his late wife? But she resides in his heart. She's a part of his soul and he knows it. She'll be with him until his last breath,he knows it, then what's stopping him. His own self. He believes that he can't love anyone anymore. He closes his eyes and a face flashes in front of his eyes, and so does a voice.

"Ansh ne bhi toh aapki zindagi mein jagah banayi hai, waise hi aap baaki sabke liye raaste khol dijiye." 

Vineet opens his eyes with a jerk. He turns off the shower and moves out of the washroom after changing into his night dress. He lies on the bed and checks the watch, it's midnight. He should sleep but he can't. Anamika's words are echoing in his ears. Well, he can't deny her. All that she said is right. He can't back off on other people. But why has he made a shell around himself. He drifts into a small memory of the past.

*Flashback Begins*

They are on their way home. Ruhana is annoyed. Vineet looks at her and holds her hand, but she jerks it.

"Baat mat karo tum mujhse!" She snaps at him
