“I have been a fool for my whole life. And it hurts so much to know that it cost me the life of my love.”

Eyes filled up with tears, Kanchan swallowed to stop them from falling. She put a hand on Pallavi’s cheek to open her eyes. “I’m not going anywhere. No matter when and where, look out of the corner of your eye, and I will be there.”

Pallavi and Kanchan have a much-needed conversation after Kanchan's secret is revealed.
