The scene starts with the shocking faces of Kabir and Romi. Pooja breaks the hug sounding restless. The person's face is revealed to be Manav
He asks "Pooja what happened? you look nervous. Are you still mourning for your ex-fiance?" Pooja says "I am scared Manav. Deep's face keeps on flashing on my mind. I couldn't forgot about that incident". Manav tries to divert her mind bcz she sounds upset with that incident. Manav says "Deep is your past his chapter is over. So stop thinking about him and think about our future". Kabir comments "Manav and Pooja! Interesting!". But Pooja's mind is urging her to clarify something. She says "I want to ask you something but I need honest response from you". Manav says "Will I lie to you Pooja. Come on ask me anything. I am always ready". Pooja is hesitating to ask bcz what if Manav gets mad at her. Kabir is keenly watching them he is curious to know whats cooking in Pooja's mind. She gathered courage and opened her mouth to ask about Deep, out of the blue Tina makes an entry.
Tina is Manav's friend and she lives with him as a paying guest. She is a doctor by profession. Romi is surprised to see a new entry and asks "Who is she now?" On the other hand, Tina is surprised by Pooja's visit and welcomes her in. Pooja could not open up the matter due to Tina's sudden arrival so she decided to meet Manav later. Pooja says she is getting late and excuses herself from there. Pooja sits inside her car. She hits the steering in frustration saying " Bcz of Tina I couldn't speak with Manav today.
She always comes in the wrong timing". She then drives back to her home. Kabir says "It is crystal clear that Pooja and Manav have some secrets. Pooja purposely left bcz she don't want Tina to know about that. What could it be. Is it related to Deep's murder?". Kabir wear his shades and says "I will find it very soon". He leaves from there with determined face. Kabir is driving back while he notices Pooja standing in the middle of the road asking for lift. He slowed down his car and wonders "What is she doing here?" Pooja's smile vanished as soon as she saw Kabir inside. She gets nervous seeing him there and thinks how to handle him. "What if he comes to know about Manav. I don't want to complicate this matter. He shouldn't found out my private matters".Kabir disturbed her thoughts saying "What a pleasant surprise Pooja! What are you doing here alone?". Pooja says that her car was broken down and asked him for a lift". Kabir says "Sure! Please get in".He tries to maintain formal communication with her. Pooja is busy with her phone there exists a layer of silence between them.
Kabir decided to break the monotony and asks "Pooja what are you doing in Woods? Did you come here to meet somebody? ". Kabir is waiting for her response bcz he knows she will lie to him. But to his astonishment Pooja said the truth that she came to meet his friend Manav who lives nearby. Kabir applied sudden break as a result of a bolt from the blue. His theory went wrong and more over she said it by looking at his eyes. Kabir just stares at Pooja perplexed. Pooja snaps at his face "Kabir why did you stop the car and starring at me". Kabir turned his gaze away and says nothing. He started driving then and within half an hour they reached her home. Pooja thanked Kabir for his timely help and says bye to him. Kabir stops her "I dropped you home safely but you didn't even invite me inside for a tea. Is that our culture?" Pooja thinks for a while. Kabir smirks "I know you won't bcz your lies will be caught when I come inside". But Pooja surprises him again and welcomes him inside. Kabir thinks "She called me in. She is brave enough to invite me. Lets see how long she maintains her lies". Radhika is anxious to see Pooja and Kabir together.
Pooja says "Relax mom he is not here to investigate. He came here as my friend". Kabir frowns at Pooja hearing the word "Friend". He thinks "When did we become friends Is she crazy or something " Kabir interrupts let me explain aunty "Pooja was driving back after meeting Manav but unfortunately her car was broken down in the woods. Luckily I came that way and gave her a lift to home". Radhika's face changes hearing Kabir's words.Kabir is happy now that Pooja's parlour lies will be out so he can caught pooja red-handed for meeting Manav with a furtive motive. He is eagerly waiting for Radhika-Pooja confrontation. Radhika turns towards Pooja "How many times should I tell you to take driver with you. If you have listened to me today you will not be standing alone in the woods.
Thankfully you met Kabir else what would have happened. I am really scared to imagine you standing alone in the woods". Pooja hugs his mother "Please stop your melodrama. I am brave enough to handle these things. Did you forgot about my karate skills? ". Radhika pokes her "I know but listen to me as well. Don't go alone next time". Pooja nods with a cute smile.Kabir is dumbfounded with the scene going on in front of him. He expected something but something else is happening. He then says "Ok Aunty I will be leaving then". Pooja says she will drop him at the door. Kabir says "Ok I will leave then bye" in a confused tone. Pooja says "I am sorry I addressed you inside as my friend without your permission". Kabir says "Its ok" and leaves from there. He is contemplating how Pooja escaped smartly. Suddenly something strikes his mind. He recalled Pooja busy with phone while driving back. He said "So you messaged your mom in advance about Manav. Thats why Aunty didn't react the way I expected. Smart move Pooja. I liked it". He smiles thinking of Pooja's action whereas on the other side Pooja smirks seeing the msgs on phone. Did he meet me in the woods accidentally or he was following me?I have to be extra careful with this Kabir.
