He continues venting out his anger when Imlie walks in and stands shocked seeing that and asks if he is responsible a ban on Aditya. She notices his hand injury and performs first-aid.He asks what she wants to ask. She says she didn’t realize his pain. He says she cannot as she doesn’t know how it feels when they see their dear ones dying in front of their eyes. Imlie asks if Aditya set fire to Arvind’s car. Aryan says with his continuous provoking journalism and allegations against Arvind and their company, he brainwashed workers to burn Aryan alive in front of his and Arpita’s eyes. Imlie apologizes him for reminding him of his pain again.
He says she should apologize the one who are helpless, he is not helpless and finished Aditya today. Imlie says Aditya was just doing his duty and didn’t know that situation would get out of control. Aryan says he is a journalist since 10 years and doesn’t know power of words, even governments fall down with power of speeches, his jiju died because of Aditya’s provoking journalism. Imlie says there is some misunderstanding as Aditya cannot be a murderer. Aryan says kids do mistake and Aditya is not a kid, he asks if she thinks Aditya gave wrong weather forecast by mistake. Imlie says its other employees’ mistake who framed Aditya. Aryan calls Mr Sharma and asks him to send a footage.
Aditya gets a bail. Inspector asks him not to leave the country. Back at office, Sharmaji brings footage. Aryan asks him if he gave leave to weather department’s employees. Sharmaji says they even boarded flight. Imlie asks what is happening. Aryan shows her footage of Aditya’s innocence. She is stunned to see that and asks if he is behind the allegations on Aditya. He says he is. She asks who is he. He says he is Aryan Singh Rathore. She says he was her friend, who is he. He says he can be her friend, her philosopher, etc. She pins him down and challenges to expose him and prove Aditya innocent. Aryan says she cannot do anything. She gives him resignation letter and challenges him that she will find his weather deparmtent employees somehow and will prove Aditya’s innocence at any cost.
Aryan asks if she still loves Aditya that she is breaking their friendship. Aparna calls Imlie and informs that Aditya is heavily inebriated. Imlie rushes out panicked. Aryan thinks why she panicked suddenly.Narmada walks to Arpita and says she called Aparfna who didn’t pick her call, if she is angry on her. Arpita says Aryan what happened to Arvind, even then he is wrongly troubling Aditya. Narmada says Aryan lost Imlie, praises Imlie like her true bhakt, and says Imlie was a light in Aryan’s life and he lost her. She then informs that her jetani and her niece gudiya are coming and will stay with them. Arpita says she knows that badi mummy wanted to fix gudiya with Aryan, she must be coming with same motto.
Narmada says she never thought of it before, but now has to act for Aryan’s better life; Aryan was living a normal life when Imlie was with him and without Imlie he will be a stone again and will break down, she will not let him break.
