The rest of the day Avu was just praying that Sid saves her. Rest were busy in her home. Vaishreem were feeling really sad for their best friend and were thinking how to tell that Sid refused to help her in anyway. Anu was not aware of anything like this happening.

While Sid's condition was not very good. His tears were not stopping and memories of his and Avneet were going on in his mind. He was trying his best to stop these feelings but who can stop the mind from thinking. It's too difficult to stop the thoughts crossing the mind no matter how much unwanted they are.

From the beginning when he saw her till they confessed their love for each other. Nothing was leaving his mind.

Sid slapped his both cheeks multiple times.

Sid: Ugh. Stop thinking all this Sid. This is not correct. You have already lost so much because of all this. Think of your mother. I need to earn for her. I can't bring those days back for her. No I cannot. This is not correct. I need to stop thinking all this

He could not be blamed if he refused to help her. Though he loved her but he was correct at his point of view.

Next morning

Vaishreem went to Avu's home. They went to get Avu down. Avu was eagerly waiting for them today. They both came with sad emotions on their face.

Avu: Tum dono aa gaye. Mein tum hi dono ka wait kar rahi thi. Tum log Sid ke pass gaye the na? Kya kaha usne? Wo karega na meri help? Kaise karega? Kuch bataya usne?

They were hesitating to tell her the truth.

Vaish: Avi wo

Avu: Hnn aa raha hai na. Bolo

None of them spoke anything. Avu looked at Vaish who looked down not able to face her.

Avu: Reem

Reem too looked away. Avu understood. She picked up her dupatta and covered her head as her eyes got teary.

Avu: Maybe this is my life and I should accept it now. Chalo

Vaish hugged her breaking down. Avu's tears rolled down as well.

Vaish: I am sorry Avu. Mein kuch nhi kar paayi. Mein teri life kharab hote apni aakhon ke saamne nahi dekh sakti. Par mein kya karoo Avi?

Reem also got tears seeing them. Avu moved her hands and returned the hug. Avu rubbed her back calming her down.

Avu: Tune koshish to ki Vaishi. Ab agar meri kismat mein hi ye hai to kya kar sakte hai?

Reem: But mujhe samaj nhi aata. Ab kaha gya uska pyaar?

Avu: Uski life mein uski mom se pehle kuch nhi hai. Aur theek bhi hai. Jis mother ne itna sacrifice kia uske lie. Itna kuch face kia. He can't make her face more for the girl he met sometime before. Tum log usse blame matt karo. Wo apni jagah par theek hai. Par hnn ab agar usine saath chhod dia to meri life to waise bhi waste hi hai. To iss shaadi se kitna hi farak pad jaega

Reem nodded. Vaishreem took Avu downstairs and made her sit in middle of hall. Avu saw Anu there. Anu looked at her and smiled sadly and nodded as if telling her "I am there for you". Avu sat down without any emotions. Girls applied mehandi on all ladies and girls' hands. Avu wasn't even looking at her hand being filled up with bridal mehandi. She looked when her mother told the name of groom. Tears could not stop anymore as someone else's name was being written on her hand. Vaishreem and AM looked at her sadly. Anu kept a hand on her shoulder. She side hugged Avu and rubbed her shoulder.

No one asked anything as it's normal for a girl to get emotional at the time of her wedding. Relatives thought it's just because of that. AM wiped her tears.

AM: Anu beta. Avu ki mehandi to lag hi gayi hai. Isse room mein leja

Anu nodded. She helped Avu in getting up and took her away. As soon as they were away from everyone's sight, Avu ran bate footed towards her room crying. Anu ran behind her. Avu entered the room and found a knife.
