In reality, Vikrant stands at a distance, observing Mannat’s family enjoying their time together without him. A wave of sadness washes over him as he realizes they have moved on, and Mannat seems to feel his presence, mentioning his name in conversation. This surprises Vikrant, as he had not expected her to think of him.
Meanwhile, Mallika confronts Yashika’s brother about why Yashika is traveling by bus, questioning her motives. She dismisses the idea that Yashika is acting selflessly, suggesting that she is not as humble as she pretends to be. Yashika’s brother defends her, explaining that she wants to avoid giving the impression that she is wealthy and that she treats everyone equally, without flaunting her status.
Mallika remains skeptical, but he assures her that Yashika is sponsoring him and that if she doubts him, she can ask the residents of their colony, who will attest to Yashika’s selfless contributions. He warns Mallika to maintain her distance while he speaks with them, which only deepens her suspicion.
To further throw her off, he fabricates a story about a tuberculosis outbreak in the area, causing Mallika to leave in fear. As she departs, he reflects on how he managed to handle the situation for now but worries about how Yashika will maintain her façade.
