Aman went behind Roshni. Roshni was feared. Aman held her hand from behind.

Aman: Jaan, kya hua?

Roshni: Kuch nahi bas.. Raya ko.. wo..

Aman pulled her closer. He hugged her softly.

Aman: Chaliye party mein, aise akeli matt rahiye yahan pe. Apko nazroon ke samne nahi dekhta hun toh dil ko sukoon nahi milta!

Roshni broke the hug.

Roshni: I am sorry.. Meri wajah se..

Aman: Chaliye sabse milwata hun..

He took her back to the party. Then he noticed Aslaan, he took Roshni to introduce with him.

Aman: Rosh, ye hai Aslaan. Saima ka hone wala shauhar. Yeh.. hamare ..

Aslaan: Family friends..

Aman: Han wahi. Bachpan saath hi guzra, phir yeh abroad chala gaya.. btw yeh umr mein mere bade hai.

Aslaan: Kaisi ho, Roshni?

She was getting uncomfortable so she just nodded.

Roshni: Doctor, mujhe room jana hai, ghutan si horahi hai please?

Aman nodded and took her toward the room. Aslaan was smirking.

Actually Aslaan was Kabir's friend. Kabir did something terrible so they ousted him. Kabir and aliya were happily married but Kabir had addictions such as gambling, going to club etc. So the family broke all the ties with him. Though Aslaan was his friend but the rishta was fixed since their bachpan & also, he is a family friend.

In the room, Roshni was in a deep thought. Aman caressed her hairs & asked Roshni what happened through eyes. Roshni nodded in no. He pulled her into a hug & closed his eyes.

Aman: I cant loose you..

Roshni hugged him tighter.

Roshni: Feelings are mutual, sir. I wont leave you ever. Kabhi nahi. Main apse..

Just then, they heard a knock. Someone's at the door. Aman went to open. It was Sara.

Sara: Bhai niche police ayi hai..

Aman: Police?

Sara: Wo..apki biwi ke case ko lekey.

He gave her a cold glare as she addressed Roshni as "Apki biwi" but didnt said anything. They all went down. Aman was supporting Roshni. Ps- Mirza wasnt there as he went for some work.

Aman: Ji, sir batayein..

Inspector: So Doctor. Aman Junaid Khan, ham apko arrest karne ayein hai, Roshni ji ke rape case mein apke involvement ke liye.

Everyone was shocked.

Aman: Ros..sh ka..

Roshni: Aise kaise? Aplog innko kyun..

Inspector: Puchiye apne shauhar se, kya uss raat wo wo wahan the ya nahi.

Roshni looked at Aman & he looked down.

Inspector: Somehow hamein ek cctv footage mili jismein ye dikhe with his bracelet wo inhone kal shayad phek di thi par kisine hamein inform kiya pata nahi koun..

Roshni: Nahi..wo..aise nahi kar saktey hai..

Inspector: Ap khud sochiye, koi ek rape victim ke sath shadi kyun karega jab usko koi faida na ho. Faide ke liye kiya taaki kabhi pakde jayein toh na fase.

Aman: Ap meri biwi ke barein mein aise nahi bol saktey.. Izzat se baat karein..

Aman was looking down. Roshni went to him & cupped his face uplifting that.

Roshni: Mujhe kisipe bharosa nahi hai. Mujhe sirf apne shauhar pe bharosa hai..

Aman: Rosh..I was..I was there..Par I didnt know that..Matlab ..I was not in my senses. I  was drunk.. Mujhe kuch yaad nahi hai sahi se.. Main soch bhi nahi sakta wosab..Par main..main apko bacha nahi paya.. Im sorry.. I was so drunk.. maine phir jaakey nimbu pani..wo ..uske 4/5 ghantey baad ap..mili..wo.. Rosh..phir..

He was crying.

Roshni: Wo bracelet kyun pheka?

Aman: Wo mujhe bar bar yaad dila rahi thi ki main..main wahan tha uss time par..par main apko bacha nahi paya aur apko agar batadeta to shayad ap mujhse dur hojati..aur..

He held her hands. He was crying.

Aman: Roshni, maine iss wajah se apse nikaah nahi kiya nalkey mujhe to pata bhi nahi tha..yaad bhi nahi tha main kahan hu.. maine ek email recieve kia kuch dino pehle aur wahan uss area ke video mein main tha..wo bracelet mere haat mein tha.. Rosh, please ..trust me..

Roshni simply freed her hands & the police started handcuffing him. She started going toward her room with tears. They were taking Aman.

Aman: Roshni, I LOVE YOU..i love you.. & mujhe pata hai ap samjhogi ap kya ho mere liye..i love you..

And they took him away. The family didnt protest at all as they were more worried for Roshni.

Roshni went to her room and she had no expression on her face at all. Parveen went to her room & sat beside her. She was in tears.

Parveen: Mujhe maaf katdey beta shayad main beto ko paal nahi payi.. mere bete, betiyan sab..

Roshni hugged her simply without saying a word.

Parveen: I am sorry beta..

Roshni: Ap mujhe please kuch deir ke liye akela chhordengi ammi?

Parveen: iss haalath mein..tun kuch..

Roshni: Dont worry, ammi. Mere saath meri baby hai.. main khudko kuch nahi karungi. Nuksaan nahi pohochaungi. ap bas Raya ko leke jaao..

Parveen nodded and left with Raya.

Roshni closed the door and sat on the floor. She started remembering the incident of that night. How they'd raped her. How they'd made her smell something. How her head was spinning. How she was screaming but no one was hearing her. The chastity that she was protecting for so long, they took that away in a few minutes. She'd seen that bracelet and she remembered that well. She looked at her side & there's a mirror. She caressed her face. They'd threw acid on her. her face was burning that time. She was in pain & no one listened. She was no longer the same girl she used to be. She'd drifted into a deep sleep enduring all the pain. When she woke up, she found only Aman by her side. Tears started falling down from her eyes. It wasn't easy. IT WASN'T WASNT EASY FOR HER AT ALL.

After a while, she went to meet Aman. He was crying in a corner. He became happy by seeing her. Roshni sat beside him & he hugged her as tight as he could.

Aman: Mujhe ..apko ek aur sach batana hai..

Roshni: Batayein,wahi sunne ayi hun..

Aman: Its about ..Raya..

Roshni: Yehi ki wo apki beti hai?

Aman: Roshni..ye baat apko kaise..

Roshni: Jo letter apko mili thi, wo apne drawer mein chupake rakhi thi. Unfortunately wo mere haat lag gayi thi.. batana toh chahiye tha?

So, basically Aman'd got a letter stating the babygirl was his daughter. A DNA report was also attatched. There's a backstory of this which will be revealed in the next part.

Roshni: khair.. Apko pata hai.. I trusted you.. with my whole heart but you couldnt. Ap mujhpe kabhi bharosa nahi kar payein..

Aman was shivvering in pain, fear. He loved her so much & he just fearing to loose her. He loved her. He loved her so much.

Aman: Aisi baat nahi hai.. i love you..

Roshni: Apko mujhpe bharosa hi nahi hai toh ye pyaar ke jhooti davein dena chordein ap..

Aman: Mujhe laga ap mujhe chhor dengi agar maine apko yesab bataya..toh..

He was looking down.

Roshni: Itni kamzor hai hamari mohabbat? Itna hi bharosa tha apko hamare mohabbat pe? Mujhpe?

Aman: Bharosa hai par..

Roshni: Bharosa hai? Nahi, Aman. Nahi hai. I am hurt iss wajah se nahi ki mujhe lag raha hai apne wosab..kiya ..ya Raya apki beti hai..I am hurt kyunki ap mujhe bharose ke layak nahi samjhe. Rishta to sajhedaari ka hona chahiye par apne toh mujhe apne raaz o mein shaamil  karna hi munasib nahi samjha!

Yes, she was hurt!
