Prikshita knows what everyone knows. Noor didn't told her anything and she is sad hearing Shahzaib's reaction but happy that Veer married her only best friend.

Noor is happy after meeting her best friend after years. Actually Prikshita came back to tell the news that her boyfriend Rishaan proposed her and she said yes.

Noor and whole family is happy for her. Rishaan's family will coming soon to talk about their marriage and it's also Diwali and she wanted to Celebrate it with family.

Everyone is busy in preparations. Noor is the center of attraction as it's her first Diwali in her new house.

She is helping Ira and Nani in work. Prikshita took her for shopping as well.

Ira gifted her jewelry as it's auspicious to gift gold to ladies and daughters of family.

Noor is busy in all this but she noticed that Veer is not in right mood. He is quite.

Noor noticed but didn't ask even last night again he had nightmare. Noor tried to awake him but again he slept holding her.

Right now she is helping Prikshita in making rangoli when he come downstairs.

And saw her all lost in her work. Veer's heart skipped a beat after seeing her in simple salwar suit. She is looking breathtaking.

"Matching-Matching." Prikshita teased after seeing him coming downstairs and Noor turned her gaze to find him in a Kurta pajama. He is looking so handsome.

Noor's heart also skipped a beat after seeing him. He is looking handsome.

But Noor diverted her gaze when Nani said "they both just need an excuse to wear matching outfits." Nani teased.

"So cute Veeru." Prikshita awwwed and everyone smiled except for him, for the first time he didn't reacted back in his same previous mischievously teasing form.

Noor is noticing everything.

'He must be missing her after last night.' She thought and didn't like his behavior. 'Why are you thinking about it Noor? It's nothing for him then why are you feeling bad?' She scolded herself.

Then puja started. Nani, Ira and even Prikshita is telling her everything. What to do and how to do.

Noor is doing everything whole heartedly. Doing every ritual but Veer is less interested in paying attention to anything.

Noor is noticing everything. How his eyes were not leaving her at karwa cauth but now he is behaving like she is not even existed.

Because of his behavior she is feeling like all alone in this house despite of having everyone here for her.

Now it's time to do Aarti. Ira gave Aarti thal to Veer and he denied to take it.

"Veeru don't you dare to spoil anyone's mood at the time of festival." Came Nani's threatening voice and he sighed and took Aarti from his mother. "Noor." Nani just said a word and Noor instantly stand beside him and hold his arm. In which hand he is holding thal.

Veer performed Aarti with Noor. Noor prayed for the well-being of her both families. After puja they had dinner together and after fireworks they all retired to their rooms.

Whole day Veer is quite and she is not liking his behavior. She is wondering what is wrong with him?

In night again he had nightmare.

"No...don't....take...her....STOP!!" He is muttering and thrashing his head badly.
Noor instantly woke up and tried to wake him up .

"Veer?" She patted his cheeks. He is sweating badly. Noor wipe his sweating with her dupatta.

"Please stop them." He is pleading holding her hands in his. His eyes tightly closed.

"Veer open your eyes please. It's just a nightmare. Please." She is trying to calm him.

"Please don't take her away." He cried. "I need her."

His cries clenched her heart. It's hurting her seeing him in pain. "Veer it's just a nightmare. Please open your eyes. I'm begging you." She pleaded caressing his head but next moment he hold her in his arms and laid ,laying his head on crook of her neck and cuddle with her.

She exhaled a sharp breath but hold him tightly in her arms and caressed his back and head.

"Everything will be OK Veer." She muttered but wondering what could be the reason of his this condition? She thought she has to ask him but he will never gonna tell her. Then she will ask Maa she thought but what if she don't know? And she don't know when sleep consumed her.

Next morning Noor woke up and saw Veer still clinging on her but she badly needs to pee so she cautiously freed herself from his hold and run inside bathroom.

When she came out after taking bath she saw Veer is still sleeping. She started doing her morning Namaz and after that come downstairs.

Veer came after her and still in sour mood. Then a maid is bringing juice for breakfast and Veer collided with her. The juice spilled on him and he yelled at that maid "WHAT THE HELL? ARE YOU BLIND?"

"Sorry young master." The maid shuddered.

"SORRY???? YOU ARE SORRY???"

"Veer calm down it was not her fault..."

"I'm not talking to you." He cut Noor. "AND YOU. ARE WE PAYING YOU FOR SPILLING THINGS OVER US?"

"sorr......" maid started crying

"DO HELL WITH YOUR SOR......" His words stopped in middle when chilled cold water splashed on his face.

"WHAT THE........."

Noor didn't let him complete and again emptied glass of water on his face with full force and it hit him like a slap.

"NOOR!!" Again splash.

"What is going on here?" Nani and everyone come there.

"YOUR BAHU IS....." didn't let him complete and again splash.

Nani's eyes wide open in shock and Ira & Prikshita gasped.

"Noor?" Nani questioned.

"Sorry Nani but apke natii ka dimag kuch zada hi grm hai thnda ker rhi hu. (Your grandson's temper is very high so trying to cool him down.)" Noor said gritting her teeth, then put the glass back on table with a thud and Veer is fuming in anger.

He banged his hand on table and yelled on Noor "HOW DARE YOU?" Then again splash.

Everyone close their eyes and Nani sighed.

"THEN WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" Noor yelled back.

"Noor-Veeru." Nani said in warning tone.

"Nani he needs to understand that he can't take out his anger on innocent people without any reason. God knows why he is angry since yesterday but she didn't do anything. The juice slipped on him because of his own carelessness. They get money for the Hardwork they do. He is not doing some favor for free. At least there should be a reason to be angry but no he has to show tantrums lika a teen girl. " Noor said.

"You are just my wife then be like one." Veer gritted with warning tone and then SPLASH!!!!!

The glasses are all empty on table now so she throw the whole jug on him.

"Biwi hu gulam nhi k tumhari khokhli dhamkiyon se darr jau. (I'm your wife not slave that I'll be scared of your hallow threats.)" Noor hissed back.

Veer stormed upstairs with fuming anger and Noor stormed out without eating anything.

Nani sighed and Ira had tears in her eyes. Prikshita console her bua and Pratap took a deep breath. "I need to talk to Noor." Prikshita thought.

Noor noticed not only Veer's mood is off but everyone is quite. Noor is confused but didn't ask.

Today is off so she can't go to office so she go to Mosque to pray and calm herself down and the chaos going inside her.

She don't know that ever Veer's behavior going to hurt her like this.

"Yah Allah! I always knew that this marriage is just a charade then why have you started giving me hopes? Why you showed me his good and caring side? Please don't. I can't be able to handle myself when I have to leave. Please." She prayed crying. "I shouldn't felt hurt seeing him in pain. I shouldn't feel bad when he dreamed of his ex. I shouldn't."

She spend almost whole day in mosque and came back in evening.

She is crossing Nani's room when she heard Ira's words
"Why he is sabotaging his marriage because of her?" Ira is saying while crying.

'Do they know who is she?' Noor thought. 'Why Veer is not with her? Where is she? Why Veer is angry without any reason? Infact everyone seems upset today. But why? What is the reason?' Thinking and debating herself she come in her room.

She sighed and sit on bed "Yaah Allah! Please stop taking my tests. I can't take this anymore. I have already lost my family now please don't distinct them from me." She prayed sadly with moist eyes.

She is keep denying but deep down she knows how much important this family becomes for her. Their pains and sorrows are killing her as well.

Wiping her tears she started doing her work because work is the only thing that keeps her Sane.

She is preparing her presentation and her phone ringed. She came out in terrace garden to attend call when Veer come in room and saw files scattered on bed.

"Is THIS BED FOR SLEEPING OR PLACING FILES?" He yelled and Noor come back in room.

"Kya ho gya? (What happened?)" She asked confused but her eyes landed on liquor bottle in his hand.

"FUCKING THIS BED IS FOR SLEEPING." He yelled.

"WHY ON EARTH YOU ARE DRINKING AGAIN?" Noor yelled back.

"IT'S MY HOUSE , MY ROOM AND MY CHOICE. I WILL DO WHATEVER THE FUCKK I WANT."

"OK THEN KEEP DRINKING AND DIE." Noor is in anger.

"NOOR STOP TESTING MY PATIENCE."

"OR WHAT? HUH? WHAT WILL YOU DO?"

There yelling and fighting is roaring in whole house. Ira tried to go to them but Nani stopped her.

"Veeru needs to overcome from this. Let them handle." Nani said.

"But sasu Maa what if things will go worse?" Pratap ask.

"Veeru might be an idiot but Noor is not. I'm sure she doesn't know about Aarna or she will never react this way." Nani said.

"Then Maa she should know about it." Ira said.

"She should learn from Veeru. Only then veeru's wound will heal." Nani replied.

"NOOR!!!!!" Veer is yelling.

"What Noor huh? What have gotten into you suddenly?" Noor ask "what have you think of me? Huh? In night you bring me closer to you and in day you treat me like a stranger. Why Veer? HUH? WHYYYY?"

"Get out from my room then." Veer hissed back.

"NO THIS IS MY ROOM TOO AND THE ONE WHO WILL GO OUT IS YOU. GET OUT." She replied back.

"LEAVE ME ALONE AND FUCKKK OFFF. I WANNA SLEEP JUST FUCKK OFFF."

and that crossed Noor's patience. He is cursing her.

"SLEEP? HUH? THEN WANNA DREAM ABOUT YOUR EX? HUH? THEN GO TO HER. WHY YOU MARRIED ME?"

Veer stiffed at his place hearing her words.

"GO TO HER WHOEVER SHE IS. I DON'T CARE BUT STOP TAKING OUT YOUR FRUSTRATION ON ME. I WILL DIVORCE YOU RIGHT NOW. JUST GO AND MARRY HER. IF THIS WILL GIVE YOU PEACE. THEN GO. MAYBE THEN YOU GET SOME PEACE AND SLEEP." Noor is done with everything she is want it end. It's just a do or die situation for her now.

Veer smashed the liquor bottle on ground and the glass shattered into thousand pieces just like his heart but Noor didn't even flinched.

He kicked the glass table and that shattered too. He stormed out in anger. Everyone tried to stop him downstairs but he didn't listen to anyone and stormed out.

Noor is angry and hurt as well. She is crying over her cruel fate. But she is furious too.

In anger she broke his LED TV and Playstation when Prikshita came in her room.

"Noor." She whispered meekly but Noor is sitting on edge of bed fuming in anger. "You shouldn't have behaved like.........."

"I know he is your brother but stop justifying him." Noor cut her.

"I'm not justifying him but if he is upset then you shouldn't react like..........."

"SERIOUSLY PRIKSHITA?" Noor cut her. "Unbelievable. Stop defending him he is not a child."

"But you don't know what he is suffering , if you do then you will never behave like this because I know you."

"I know what he is suffering. He is an immature person who can't even handle his ex issues." Noor replied .

"You don't know what is today." Prikshita said meekly and what she said next,took earth from under Noor's feet.

"What?" Noor is shocked "I shouldn't have said those words. How could I? I shouldn't have." Guilt and hurt is clear on Noor's face and muttering those words she run out from her room.

"Veer? Veer? VEER!!!!"

"He is not home." Nani said.

"Where he would go at this hour?" Noor ask shuddering. Tears ready to betray her any moment.

"We don't know." Ira replied crying.

"I'm so sorry Maa but I promise I will find him." Noor replied running out from house.

When Pratap come out after her.

"Noor!!! Noor!! I'll go and check bars. You go and check office and our old mansion." Pratap said giving her address and she run without wasting any second.

"Pratap are you mad? Why are you letting her go alone at this hour?" Ira ask.

"Ira she will handle herself and our son too. Don't worry Veer needs her." Pratap replied and drive away.

On the other hand Noor is driving recklessly to find him. He is not in office now she is going towards the old Randhawa mansion.

She parked her car and saw Veer's car already parked there. She sighed in relief but run inside.

The main door is already open. She run inside and saw him standing in hallway. His back is facing her but it's clear that he is drinking.

She run towards him and hugged him tightly from backside "I'm sorry Veer. I'm sorry." She said crying.

Areeeee???
