Yash is shocked to hear this. arti goes on talkingas if she’s talking to prashant. She says that its true that she loved him at one point of time and that they have shared memories and moments of their life together that she cant forget. But he has to understand that she’s somebody’s else’s wife now, a family’s daughter in law, mother of 3 kids and mother to yash’s unborn child. And therefore she has a responsibility. She asks him not to keep any false hopes that she would come back to him, coz she never will. It was a big day in her life when they met. From initial fights, they grew to become friends and then fell in love and got married. Yash is shocked to hear this. She was on seventh heaven feeling like she has got all the happiness in the world. An orphan, that she was, she camt to his house and with the love and respect with which his parents treated her, she felt complete and considered herself the luckiest girl in the world. But it was not meant to be, since he left her for another woman. she had cried and begged in fron tof him, tried to keep him back on the pretext of their unborn child but he didnt listen nor stop. Still somewhere, deep in her heart she always thought that he would return back to her. Years passed by thinking that. Ansh greww up and was 5 years of age. He started demanding things that a son would from his dad, she became his father and fulfilled all his whims as his father, so that when prashant came back a s eh had hoped, he would not have any ill feelings towards his father. but he still didnt come.

then one day, the dubeys got her remarried to yash. she had no interest in remmarying since at that point, she could not even think about being with somebody other than prashant. She entered the marriage stiil, half heartedly without liking it at all, since she was not selfish as she thought about the happiness of the dubeys and ansh’s future. She reminds him how she had come to meet him on her mehendi still with the hope, that seeing her being married off to somebody else, he would realise his love and come back to her to start afresh but he didnt. Her hopes were washed away and she was devastated. she tells him that now its too late and she would never come back to him now. How can she leaving that person, who gave his name, his identity and his love to her son, who gave the respect the dubeys desired from their son and didnt get, and how could she leave off the two young daughters who consider her as their mother depriving them of motherly love twice in their life. She wishes him to be happy wherever and with whoever he is, tells him that she loved him more than lifeonce and hence cannot wish bad for him. Asking him to go away from his life to never come back, he leaves from there. Prashant too leaves behind him leaving yash alone in the room.

A shocked and speechless yash, is taken back to the incidents when prashant’s name came up, during his diwali visit, awkwardness between her and prashant, dubeys lying about their own son and prashant too making up stories of his wife and lastly the detective’s words about woman being the epitome of betrayal.

While arti is walking out, she is stopped by prashant but she doens tlisten to him and instead tells him to stay away from her as she would never come back and therefore not to keep any false hopes about it. She leaves despite prashant trying to stop her and talk to her and say the truth.

Meanwhile, with all the paintings strewn on the floor, their glass frames broken, yash vents out his long suppressed anger demanding to know why she had lied to him when she knew how much he hates lies. then why did she lie to him.arti goes upto the temple and says to the goddess that she knows why she has been keeping the truth from yash and how much it pains her every time she has to lie pr keep the truth from him. But its her helplessness that she has no other option but to lie to yash. so much so, that now its building up troubles every time she is trying to lie to yash. She thinks that on one side is dubeyji, his son, his disease and its cure and on the other side is her liufe, her love, her yash. She wonders what to do and how to choose.

meanwhile, yash having vented out his anger softens up at the pain in his heart. He holds up a picture of arti and talks to her that when she explained everything, she also needs to tell him how to explain his heart now. He cant even hate her even after knowing that she had betrayed him. How can he admit his love for her after this.

While arti is thinking what to do, wind starts blowing and the bells begin to ring and the flame of the earthen lamp begins to flicker. taking it as the sign of an ome, she tries to cover the lamp from both sides so that the flame sustains. The screen freezes on her troubled face.

Precap: Taiji when told by prashant, is happy to hear the entire story and says that what happened is for the better. Even sita had to give AGNIPARIKSHSHA to get ram back. She would now wait to see how this era’s ram i.e YASH responds to Arti’s confession.
