Armaan was returning home after meeting Manav. He didn't exactly know what to think about Manav, he knew he was the best for Ruhi but something kept bothering him. He noticed 4 missed calls by Ruhi. Ignoring the thoughts, he immediately rushed home only to find Abhira missing. 

"How many times have I told this girl to stay inside the room and take rest.." Armaan thought to himself. 

Armaan kept searching for Abhira. As he was going to Ruhi's room, he realized someone was in his personal file room. He tried to glance who it was through the window but the curtains blocked the view. Without thinking he entered the room only to find Abhira going through his files. Seeing this his blood boiled and rage got upon him. 

"ABHIRA."  Armaan roared 

"Armaan.." Abhira whispered

"Just to win the god damn case, you'll go as far as taking my files without my permission??" Armaan asked snatching his files. 

"No Armaan, it's not like that." Abhira justified 

"Then what is it?? You taking  my files is justified? what kind of lawyer are you aiming to become?" Armaan shouted loud enough for the family to assemble in the room. 

"What happened Armaan?" Dadisa asked 

"Well ma sa, as we can see, Armaan's beloved wife was stealing our firm's data to give it to her boss just so that they could win the case." Phupasa joined 

"No, no..it's not that. I lost my file so I was searching it in here.." Abhira wanted to continue but was stopped by Ruhi

"That doesn't justify why you were reading Armaan's file." Ruhi shouted

"Ruhi.." Armaan whispered 

"No listen, I was searching for my file which was in the exact color and since the light here is too dim, I couldn't see properly so I wasn't sure what file I picked up." Abhira said 

"Oh please Abhira, I know your intentions. Just to win the case you'll do anything. How selfish!" Ruhi bitterly shouted 

"Ruhi, talking to this selfish girl is waste of time! her mother certainly failed at her responsibility" Vidya said 

"Ma'am, you may insult me but don't you dare question my mumma's parvirish." Abhira shouted 

"Oh really? you're threatening us?" Vidya laughed sarcastically 

"Well yes, like it or not, my mother was way better than you ma'am, she cared about me and taught me values unlike you. You never bothered about your kids and I could see that clearly .." Abhira said angrily

Everybody froze at that statement. Armaan stared angrily at Abhira. Vidya looked at her lifelessly and was at loss of words. Everyone remained quiet until Dadisa raised her hand at Abhira. 

"LADKI" Dadisa roared 

"You have NO RIGHTS to raise your hand Mrs. Poddar." Abhira said sternly. 

"How dare yo-" Ruhi paused. 

"How dare me? Oh Ruhi, I dare alot. More than this entire family. I don't care if I'm disowned after this because I'm tired..tired by rotting in this heartless family. The family who I once used to thank is now the family I hate more than my fate. My mumma taught me how to stand for myself rather than act all 'bechari' . Yes, I have no one but I have my self- respect and my education for living. I don't need charity from you people who can hardly see anything but only Poddar's name plate. I'm leaving, and no matter how many times you accuse me I wouldn't give up Mrs. Kaveri Poddar." Abhira smiled before leaving the room. 

As soon as Abhira left, Dadisa roared in Anger. She grabbed Armaan's hand and threw him out of the room. Vidya started crying by the harsh words Abhira said. The others stood their shocked by Abhira's behavior. 

"How could Abhira bhabi say this!" Krish cried 

"Guess she wasn't who we thought." Kiara muttered 

"Of course she wasn't, but sadly none of you saw the cheapness in the girl! I knew since day one, Armaan brought trouble!" Phupasa said 

"ENOUGH." Dadisa shouted 

Everyone stood silent as Dadisa walked towards Armaan. The youngsters gulped as they saw the anger visible on dadisa's face. Armaan held his head down in shame. 

"You must win the case Armaan Poddar." Dadisa clutched his coat

"I will Dadisa...this case is more important than my entire life!" Armaan said wiping his tears. 

"Tomorrow decides what i mean to you." Dadisa smiled before leaving the room

"I won't let you down Dadisa." Armaan thought.

Abhira sat lifeless on the road's bench. It was pitch dark and quiet. She could hear her heart beating and the silent exhales of her breath. She realized one thing that she was always alone. There could be no one who would truly understand her, not even her husband. She wiped her tears and walked with her suitcase. She wasn't paying attention while crossing the road until someone pushed her away from a truck. 

"Abhira!! gone mad?" Prashant asked offering her his hand 

"Prashant.." Abhira stared 

"Yes me! I was coming to discuss something important but why the hell are you on the road? Especially at this hour.?" Prashant asked 

"Prashant, there's alot in my life that needs a renewal. Believe me, I'm okay." Abhira smiled 

"Seriously? Ma'am, tomorrow we have a case to fight. Where will you stay?" Prashant asked examining her carefully. 

"Oh...I'll.." Abhira paused realizing she had no where to go. 

"Come to my house? Yes! now get into the car." Prashant said 

"Uh..how could I.." Abhira awkwardly asked 

"Well, you could stay with my sister.." Prashant offered. 

"Sounds okay! Thanks yaar.." Abhira laughed 

"No problem! let's get going, pretty late huh." Prashant smiled
