"Let's move on"
Aabhi played a video on his phone in front of Aayna, leaving her astonished. Tears began to flow from Aayna's eyes, and seeing her cry, Aabhi laughed loudly. Aayna pleaded, "Please, Aabhi, I beg you, delete this video. What do you gain by doing all this? Please delete it. Think about it—if Tashvi's brother finds out about this, what will happen to you? He won't let you go, so please don't do this."
Suddenly, Aabhi stopped laughing, knelt in front of Aayna, and grabbed her hair from behind, causing her to scream in pain.
Aabhi said, "Oh, but I didn't do all this; you did it, didn't you? I told Tashvi to leave; you were the one who hurt her, right?" Hearing Aabhi's words, Aayna was left completely stunned. She couldn't understand what Aabhi was trying to say!
("Party")
Abir and Adil were standing by the bar, enjoying their drinks when Abir's dad, Madan, and Abir's stepmother, Maya, approached them. They said to Abir, "Abir, where is Tashvi? It's time for the cake cutting."
Abir rolled his eyes and replied, "She's probably with her friends somewhere; it's her birthday, and she's enjoying herself. I'll check where she is!" Saying this, Abir placed his drink on the counter and went to look for Tashvi.
Meanwhile, Aabhi was laughing mercilessly, and Aayna pleaded, "Please don't do this." Aabhi said, "I'll make this video go viral if you don't listen to me."
Aayna, crying, responded, "Please don't do it; I will do everything you say, but just delete this video." Aabhi replied, "Okay, I will delete it, but you will have to take the blame for Tashvi's death. If anyone asks, you must say that you killed Tashvi." Hearing this, Aayna cried even louder, knowing she had no choice but to comply with Aabhi's demands. Aabhi pulled the knife from Tashvi's body and forcefully placed it in Aayna's hand, saying, "If you try any tricks, I won't hesitate to make this video go viral, understood?" After that, Aabhi took out his phone and sent a text message to someone.
Meanwhile, Abir had asked all of Tashvi's friends where she was, and everyone replied that she had not been with them for quite some time. Then a girl said, "Tashvi went upstairs to change her dress; she might still be there!" Hearing this, Abir went upstairs.
As Abir was searching through all the rooms, he reached the door where Aayna was. As soon as he opened the door, his eyes widened in shock, and he froze in place. There lay Tashvi, covered in blood, and Aayna was sitting beside her with blood on her hands and a blood-stained knife, sitting there in a daze. Aabhi had already left, and only Aayna and Tashvi remained.
Abir rushed to Tashvi, sat down, and gently placed her head in his lap. In a trembling voice, he said, "Tashu, wake up; it's time for the cake cutting. Everyone is waiting." As he spoke, tears welled up in Abir's eyes. Deep down, he knew that his Tashu was no longer with them; she was dead.
Abir's entire face turned red with rage, and his eyes became cold and filled with fury. He looked up at Aayna, who was sitting in a daze. He placed Tashvi's head back down and approached Aayna, kneeling and grabbing her neck. Abir's grip was so strong that tears streamed from Aayna's eyes as she looked at him with frightened eyes. Filled with anger, Abir said, "Why did you kill my sister? What did she ever do to you? You know today is supposed to be a special day for her; it's her birthday! Why did you have to kill her on her birthday? Answer me!"
Aayna remained silent, not responding at all.
Then Abir spoke again, "You will have to pay for this, and you will pay for the rest of your life. The pain you've caused me, the breath you've stolen from my sister, I will make you suffer in return. And the punishment for my sister's murder will not come from the law; it will come from me." With a sudden motion, he released Aayna, and she fell to the ground. By then, Madan, Maya, Adil, and everyone else had arrived, and seeing Tashvi dead, their eyes widened in shock. The scene made everyone believe that Aayna was the one who had killed Tashvi. Madan, filled with anger, exclaimed, "You girl, how dare you kill my daughter? I won't let you go!" Then Abir, in anger, said, "No one will say anything. I will take care of her punishment myself. After today, this girl will never see the outside world again!" Saying this, Abir glared at Aayna with furious eyes.
From that day until now, Aayna has been in Abir's captivity, and after that party, she never returned home.
Flashback Ends
Aayna said to herself, "My biggest mistake was going to that party. I shouldn't have gone there."
Meanwhile, on the other side...
Abir and Adil were talking when Abir said, "We'll go home together. I have a meeting right now; I'll finish that and then head home." Adil nodded in agreement and sat down on the sofa in the cabin. Abir also went for his meeting.
