Ahaan suggests her to have some water, and says it must be his parents missing her; they must wish them to get married soon. He walks into her room. Pankti was worried she might die because of this hiccup. Ahaan gets serious and says not because of hiccup, but the shame of what she did. Pankti was worried and asks what she did.

Everyone disperse to look for Pankti. Pankti had come upstairs following the negatives where she confronts JD. She questions when he took the photos and why? JD recalls pushing an injection onto her and snapping the shots while she lay unconscious. He wasn’t ready to listen to any of her complains and says he wanted to show her how he looks towards her. He won’t show these photos to anyone; only he holds the right to look at her. Pankti asks JD what he wants? He tries to touch her face but he pushes his hand away. JD replies, She! Her beauty! So that no one can ever watch her again, the story returns to its initial point and she returns to be a puppet in his hands. He questions what that child Ahaan can give her, she must return to him.

She stares at him. She takes the pictures from him. Ahaan sings.
