Purab- right!

Abhi- but as per Indian law, Kiara is adult now, & she have right to chose her parent, right..

Purab- as per clause, Pragya didn't file a custody case for your sake, if you go against that clause, she go in court, & start to fight with you for Kiara..

Abhi gritss his teeths & says- she can do whatever she wants for Kiara, but she can't snatch Kiara from me..

Purab thought for while & says- Abhi don't think like business man, think like father & for Kiara sake, for some days keep Kiara with Pragya, I understand she left Kiara, when Kiara needs her most, but that doesn't mean, she is not her daughter, think once before do any wrong..

Abhi- Kiara hates Pragya..

Purab- then make her understand..

Abhi take a long deep breath & says- I tried my best..

Purab- try to figure out, why she divorced you..
