Shivay says that it is to offer to the deity. The pandit there is amused at someone offering a bouquet. Shivay says that since they are friends now, he needs to give her a gift.

He asks her to collect one flower from the bouquet. She selects one, but she thinks Shivay is weird. They walk out, and Shivay asks Anika to put the flower in her hair. He helps her with it.

Nikhil walks up seeing this, and he mocks Anika for being Shivay's mistress. Shivay gets furious but Anika stops him, and they walk away. Anika tells Shivay that she has to bear with this tag which he gave her.

Anika reaches home, and Gauri runs to her saying Sahil is unwell. They rush home. Anika is surprised by a birthday party. She is overwhelmed. Chachi who has been warned by Shivay also walks up and says sorry to Anika.

Later Shivay takes her outside. He calls the villagers and says that Anika bore all the insults just to save him. He assures that if Anika is hurt again, then he will forgive no one.

Shivay takes Anika away for a private party. They sit together as Shivay says that he has a gift for her. He hands over a roll. She opens it and is shocked. It is a divorce paper, and Shivay says that he took away her freedom and life which he is now giving her back.
