Heyyy Everyone! It's Vera here, I hope ya'll like this part! Thank-you so much for all the love on the previous shots! ❤️

========================

Monami landed in Delhi 2 hours later, the entire plane ride was nothing less than an overthinking torture for her. Her mind and heart were at a constant battle, her mind repeatedly reminding her to turn back and her heart wanting her to go there, to seek answers for the questions that had stuck with her for the past year like glue. 

In the end she decided to shake it all off and go wherever destiny was taking her,"it's all for the best" she kept chanting in her head. When the plane landed she'd already booked a car to take her to the hotel, it was exactly 24 minutes away from his house. 

When she reached the hotel room, Monami glanced over at the big teal clock on the beige wall, "2:10am" she murmured. She then took out her phone and ordered some food while also texting Sid that she'd reached safely, after-all he was the only one who truly cared. 

Monami went over to the balcony and took a deep breath, taking in the new environment. This new city was the heart of the country, she just hoped her heart would be healed when she left. She went into the room, grabbed her night clothes and hopped into the shower. 

- - - 

A few minutes later, as soon as Monami came out of the bathroom - the doorbell rang, "food's here" she told herself as she stepped towards the door. She swung the door open and a surprised expression formed on her face, "Sanjana?" she muttered. 

"Kaise ho Monami?" Sanjana said as she shot Monu a smile and walked in, past her and put the medium vegetable pizza on the glass table. 

Monami closed the door and turned towards Sanjana, "M-Mein theek houn par tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?" she asked. 

Sanjana: Kuch baat karno ho tumse, she said as she took a seat on the sofa.

Monami nodded and sat on the bed in front of her. "Siddarth ke DaddyJi ne ussko rok liyo ho, farmhouse ke kuch kaam mein...Woh kal raat ko aaigo".

"Oh" Monu said, she had really wanted Sid to be there when she faced Karan. 

Sanju: Toh tum baataio ke Sangeet mein jaana ho ke kal raat seedha shaadi mein...

Monami thought for a minute, she wasn't here to chicken out. She had promised herself she would attend all the functions, get answers to all her questions and then leave with the burden off of her chest. 

Monami: Nahi, mein jaoungi...Tum toh hogi na mere saath? she couldn't help herself but ask the last part. Sanjana and her had developed a good bond over the last couple of months, after Sid, she knew Sanjana was the one that cared for her and was a true friend.

Sanjana nodded while she threw Monami a smile, she knew Monu was a brave girl but sometimes you just need someone to lean onto. 

They both spent the next hour eating pizza and Sanjana trying to read Monami some empowering quotes she'd memorized off of google on the way to the hotel, making Monu giggle from time to time. She greatly appreciated the efforts Sanjana was putting to make her feel better. 

Soon Monami unpacked her suitcase and showed Sanjana the dresses she'd brought for the 3 functions. Sanjana approved of them all but had a gift from Sid she wanted Monu to wear. "Ek minute Monami" she said as she stood up and rushed out the door. 

Exactly three minutes later she came back in holding a box, "Monami, yeh tumhare liyo, Siddarth ke na aane ka sorry gift". 

Monami smiled as Sanjana handed her the box, she opened it and gasped out of surprise. It was the lengha she'd loved in the mall a year back, a time when Karan was with her...

"Y-Yeh tohhh" her voice trailed off but Sanjana understood. 

Monami stared at it for a moment, her mind racing back to that day. A day that held great significance for her, it was when Karan promised to be with her forever, to marry her...but here they were. She was attending his marriage but wasn't his bride. 

It could easily be counted in one of the best days of her life. That day Sid-Sanju and Karan & her had gone on a double date. She liked a dress and Karan said it would be the same one she would wear on one of their wedding functions, he promised....But now, that day would never come. 

Sanjana cleared her throat to get Monami's attention, "Kaiso lagah?" she asked. 

Monami hugged Sanjana, "thank-you...I love it...thanks for bringing it here".

Monami: In-fact, mein kal yehi pehenogi... she said as she tore from the hug. 

Sanjana: Chalo Monami, mein chalto ho...kal subah saath jaige Sangeet mein, she smiled. 

Monami nodded and Sanjana left the room. 

Monu took a seat on the bed as she grabbed her phone from off of the dresser. She went to Karan's profile and viewed the series of pictures he'd posted 38 minutes ago. With her. The girl he was getting married to. Prerna. 

At this point there was nothing much she could really do, she'd had enough of blaming herself and crying over everything he'd done to hurt her. A tinge of anger brewed inside her, she'd hurt enough, now was his turn. "I haven't lost him, he's lost me" she recalled what Sanjana had said a while back. 

Monami shut her phone & laid down as she stared at the dress that hung on the wall in front of her. "See you tomorrow Karan Shergill" she muttered to herself as she closed her eyes and soon dozed off to sleep.
