Tina comes there and staggered to see infuriated Manav. She understood the reason behind his rage and tries to console him. Manav says "I am not gonna leave the one who is responsible for this.He has to pay for his deeds". Suddenly Pooja's face flashed in his mind. He in a anxious tone "I have to check Pooja first. I hope she is fine".Tina calms him saying "Don't worry I called Pooja as soon as I saw the msg. Her dad takes care of the matter. The news will be deleted asap. She asked me to check on you". Deep is relieved to know the matter will be sorted out and thanks Tina for giving him the good news. He shares a friendly hug and thanks to her again.
Pooja is fuming in exasperation that who is audacious enough to play with Sharma's reputation. I cannot watch everything like a statue. I have to do something. She gets into his car and drives off to the bar. She meets Dhruv there and pours out her frustrations. He enquires about the lake incident and asks her to brief him on what exactly happened there. Pooja spills out the entire truth about her confrontation with Manav and the unexpected visit of Kabir. Dhruv seems doubtful about Kabir's visit and says we have to extra cautious in dealing with Kabir. He is always a step ahead of us. I will ask my men to keep an eye on Kabir. Don't worry I will get back to you soon.
In the meantime the channel ppl somehow reached the venue knowing Pooja's presence. Pooja and Dhruv are about to leave but astounded to see media ppl at the entrance. She exhales sharply "Oh shit! No, I shouldn't be spotted. She thinks about how to escape now. Dhruv says "Wait I will talk with the bar manager to clear the crowd" He informed the same and the manager warns the media to exit without making any scene but they are not ready to leave. He immediately called the police station and informed about the mess. Within a few minutes, the cops arrived and tries to vacate them. One reporter pointed out Pooja's car and says " We can't leave until we meet Pooja Sharma" Romi sniffs "Pooja Sharma again!"
He doesn't know what to do and calls his superior. Kabir comes to know about the matter and says he is coming. Kabir smirks "I don't understand this Pooja Sharma. Her news is revolving around news channels but she is daring enough to come out of the house after all this. She is totally unpredictable".Pooja is desperately waiting to get out of this mess and pleads to God to help her. Dhruv notices Kabir's entry and says "He is here again" in an upsetting tone. Pooja stood up and saw "Kabir". Kabir's eyes are looking for Pooja and asks Romi about Pooja's whereabouts in a low tone. Romi whispers she is in the Guest lounge with Dhruv. Kabir raises his eyebrows murmuring "Dhruv" and enters with an attitude. Pooja and Dhruv are discussing while Kabir makes a powerful entry. He says "Ms. Pooja Sharma What a pleasant surprise. By looking at the media gathering I thought some Cinema Celebrity is inside but I didn't expect your presence here. He bites his tongue Oops sorry you are not less than a celebrity today.Congratulations Pooja Sharma" in a contemptuous tone.
Pooja gave a deadly glare while Dhruv asks him to stop talking unnecessary things and help them out safely. Kabir says "Ok listen to me. Dhruv you exit first. As soon as you exit, Media ppl attention will fall on you and they will be surrounding you in no time.Romi will help you to exit safely from the crowd. In the meantime I will exit with Pooja without anybody's notice". Pooja's grimaces hearing his plan and throws tantrums on him. She says "Even a kid will think better than this" while Kabir raised one of his eyebrows. Both are starring at each other with loads of hatred. Dhruv says "Guys enough. Even though Kabir's idea was outdated we don't have any other choice other than this. We have been stuck here for more than a hour on the other side, media ppl is not ready to leave. If we wait few more minutes the news will spread like fire and the matter will worsen.
Look Pooja we have to listen to Kabir now no other go". Kabir gave a disdainful look at Pooja and asks "Shall we go Pooja Sharma?" She scowls at him and thinks "I didn't expect that this day will come in my life. I hate this moment". Kabir comes closer to her and mumbles "But I love this moment" which startled Pooja.
She gritted her teeth and walks away. Kabir enjoys playing with Pooja and follows her. Dhruv is at the door and signals Kabir that he is ready to go. As per their plan Dhruv grabbed media's attention while Kabir holds Pooja's hands and quickly leaves from there. While Romi is helping Dhruv to get away from the crowd Kabir escapes with Pooja. He safely brings her outside. Pooja is breathing heavily and says thank god no one saw us. Kabir raised his collar saying "After all its bcz of my outdated idea". Pooja moued and says "so what? You want me to sing your praises" she is about to leave but her leg twisted and she stumbled. She is about to fall but kabir pulled her towards him. As a result she fell on him and could hear paliplialtion of his heart.
