In the palace as the couples left, Rishu went straight to a room allotted for him and slept being exhausted not before telling Rey to not let anyone disturb him. Rey too thought to get freshenup first, he too went to his room, kept his things, got freshenup and moved out to find Ishi coming to him, "bhai yeh bag ki chain hi nahi khol rahi kab se try kar rahi ho" said huffing handing him her handbag. Sharon came with Simi and Vishakha to find Rey, she saw him went to approach but before that Ishu came, she didn't hear the first line. "Ofcourse Ishi iss bag mein itna saare cheeze gusa rakha hai toh yeh kaise khole ga or ek baat bata kitni bags layi tune" said coming the bag, "5" she said casually showed him fingers, he saw her but a sec later realised, "are you serious pura ghar uta ke layi hai kya" said giving her bag, she took sadly pouted, "aapko toh har baat pe problem hai mujh jaisi  itni choti si pyari si masoom si bacchi se", he looked at her and said sarcastically, "meri not so masoom bacchi, mujhe problem isliye hai kyunki main coolie nahi ho, itne saare bags utane", she giggled, he gave her a glare, she held her ears uttered "sorry" and walked away, he shaked his head at his crazy baby sis, she again came back, pecked his cheek, "sorry bhai, I love you" and ran, he chuckled at her. He stood there, before sharon can approach him again, Aru was walking with her dadi holding her soft toy with a sad pout, Rey immediately walked to her, "kya hua aunty", "dekho na Rey beta Aru upset hai ki sab usse yahan chodke gaye" said, he bend to her, "meri baby naraz hai" asked softly, she nodded with a sad pout, "par kyu", "mujhe bhi jana hai ghumi" said in her baby voice, "baby ghumi jayenge, mamu ke saath ok" he extended his hand, her face lighted up, she held his hand nodded her head showed him her arms indicating him to carry her, he held her smiling looking at her happy face, her dadi too smiled finally her Aru was happy. "Aunty mein baby ko leke jau" asked her permission, "ofcourse beta tumhari banji hai " she looked at Aru and said, "meri gudiya rani mamu ko tang nahi karna ok" said softly caressing her hairs, she nodded,"mamu hum kaha jaa rahe hai" looking at him, he made a thinking face, she too look at him curiously, "surprise hai" she grinned jumping, he kissed her cheeks, her dadi, "Rey main Aru ko tyaar kar ke le aati ho" he nodded handing her Aru gently. Reet came and dragged him aside before he can register anything, "kya Reet aise kon karta hai", "Rey yaar mere ko waise bhi bahut kaam hai bahut tension hai" said annoyed, "kyu kya hua", "don't ask, kal mehendi hai bahut kaam hai and I have to get some things, isliye shopping jana but no one's available" said sighing, he held her shoulder, "calm down teri problem ka solution hai mere pass", "wow matlab tu chalega mere saath", "no no I meant dekh saare couples bahar gaye hai except you and Rishab, toh why not you use this chance and go out with him, shopping and spent with him", "wow that's great" she hugged him tightly, he too reciprocated hiding his smirk, (Rishu beta tu toh gaya) he thought, "tu mera sachi bestfriend hai thank you" said smiling, he smiled at her, she left and Aru came running to him, he held her carried her, "mamu I'm ready", his dad who was searching for someone came to him, "Rey tumhari Di kahan hai", "Di jiju ke saath bhag gayi" muttered slowly, his dad smacked his head, "apni behen ke baare mein aise baat karte hai", "ohoho dad chill Di jiju gaye hai bahar apna quality time spend karne", "nanu very bad apne mamu ko mara Aru aapse katti hai" said pouting, Rey gave a teasing smile to his dad, "sorry gudiya" said giving a glare to Rey, Aru smiled, Rey chuckled gave a pecked her cheek, "Aww my baby", Aru too grinning kissed his cheek, "chalo baby hum chalte hai warna nanu humko paka enge", he walked out, Aru waved her hand to her nanu, he too smiled looking at their retreating figure and chuckled.
Sharon and the girls were shocked watching the entire scene, here he's not even talking a word to gang and their he's happily talking, looking at his bond with them, they can only think how and when did they come this close. Sharon couldn't digest he's being called bestfriend by someone else, the bond he shared with her, he's sharing the same with some else, she was hurt, she want to confront him but he went out, she have to wait till he's back, she can't hold on more he's ignoring her and enjoying with others specially with those who insulted her, how could he. They walked from there, the girls told everything to Swayam, they tried to console Sharon which didn't help her at all as they were constantly reminding her how Rey was happy with them.
Reet barged in waking Rishu, she dragged him to shopping with her, he was sulking for the torture, Rishu and Shopping are opposite poles. Rey took Aru to a gaming zone in a mall making her jump in happiness. He played along with her, he can spend his whole day running and jumping with her, her smile,her happiness give him extreme joy. After being tried he came back to the palace with a sleeping Aru, he carried her to her dadu dadi room, laid her on bed gently and bid them bye. He walked to his room, even he was tried, he just wanted to hit the bed but before that he got a call from Sam asking him to come to their portion urgently. He came immediately, Sam standing at the corridor near a pillar, Rey walked to him, "kya baat hai Samarth kuch kaam tha" asked, "haan kaam hai par mujhe nahi kisi or ko", "kisko", "look yourself" he said and pointed at his back, he turned to find a girl smiling widely at him, "Kriya" he uttered, hugged her tightly, she too reciprocated. Sam went from there to give the couple privacy, they broke the hug, he cupped her face, pecked her forehead, "I missed you", "I missed you too",even though both talk everyday, but are meeting after 2months. "Why didn't you tell me your coming, I would have picked you", "I wanted to surprise you isliye maine Rishu ko bola he asked Samarth to pick me" he nodded. They heard a loud gasp "Kriya" they turned to look Swayam, Sharon and the girls looking at them, shock would be a under statement. Vishakha hugged Kriya but she was numb, she was hell scared after looking at Sharon only because of her she had lost her passion, her love, the city. Vish broke the hug not getting any response from her, she looked confused, why Kriya didn't reciprocate, she wasn't looking happy. Rey held her hand firmly trying to convey her that he won't leave her,she looked at him, he nodded assuring her, he looked behind saw Reet, he called her out, "Reet" she came to him, "Reet yeh Kriya hai and Kriya she's Reet" said Rey, "hi Kriya heard a lot about you from Rey, glad tum aagayi we will have lot of fun" said Reet making her smile, " Reet tu Kriya ko le ja I'll join you guys", she nodded notice the seriousness his voice held then saw the gang 'oh so that's the reason' , kriya looked at him worried, he caressed her cheek lightly and said, "don't worry sweetheart I'll join you soon ok", she nodded. Reet and Kriya moved from there. Rey now turned to the gang, his face was cold and serious, Sharon couldn't hold herself and bursted out, "Rey what are you doing here? How are you close to the Solanki's? When did this happened? You're not sparing us a look and you're enjoying with this new people? How did Kriya come back?", the last question she asked with a lil hesitation and nervous which was noticed by Rey, he smirked, "Sharon aren't you happy that me and Kriya are back?",it was a blowout to her, she nodded lil, "you don't seem" said again smirking. Vishakha was furious, she wanted to meet her bestfriend but she didn't even acknowledge her, "Rey how did you get back to Kriya? How and when did it happen? And why Kriya is behaving weird looking at us? Did you ask her to not talk to us?", "I didn't tell anything as such to Kriya, Vishakha before I answer your questions, I want to ask you one thing (she nodded), you always blamed me that because of me Kriya left right, why didn't you ever question it to anyone else maybe you and me would have found Kriya way back soon", Vishakha didn't get, " what do you mean? Rey just don't play in riddles" irritated, "ok fine let's ask to the right person, so Sharon tell me why did Kriya left us", Sharon was nervous she didn't even look at him, she felt her secret is out, maybe Kriya told Rey everything that's the reason he's avoiding her. "Rey how would Sharon know that, what are you trying to prove" said Swayam, "oh Swayam before we go to Sharon, even you have secrets need to be our right" said Rey with a mocking smile, Swayam didn't know what to say. "Rey will you please stop playing around and come to the point" said Vishakha being irritated, "fine" said with a stern voice, "Swayam knew where was Kriya, why she left, not the entire truth but yeah he kept contact with her after she left" said Rey, Swayam kept quiet, others looked at him shocked, " wait that's nothing to be shocked at, there's more to it, Sharon was the reason why Kriya left, it was because of her my heart was broken", Sharon was looking down as she couldn't look at bestfriend's accusing eyes, others were dumbfolded, " Rey what's wrong with you, how can you accuse Sharon, she's your best friend, why will she do it, knowing how much it hurted you, maybe there's some misunderstanding" said Simi, "not at all Simi there's no misunderstanding, I heard it loud  and clear, Kriya's mom told it herself it was Sharon who instigated her saying because of me Kriya couldn't focus on her studies so Kriya's mom kept a condition for her to choose between me and her mom, and being helpless she have to give up her love, her passion dance, she left me, she left dance, she left the country only because of my so called bestfriend" he ended with tears no matter he moved on and now Kriya is back to him but he can never forget or forgive her, others gasped, he moved close to her, "look at me Sharon ( she looked at him, he's were red with furious eyes making her shiver) what did I ever do wrong to you? maine kya bigada tha tumhara or Kriya ki kya galti thi she suffered only because of you, why was I punished twice this was your friendship aise toh koi dushman tak nahi karta, answer me, you were accusing me for being a bad friend, I'm not talking to you, avoiding you so tell me mujhe kya karna chahiye let you destroy you my happiness again haa answer me god damit" yelled at end making them flinch, Swayam didn't stop him. He closed his eyes calming himself,  he opened again, "I had such great bestfriends when they need me I was always there but when I needed them they were never there and still you guys have the audacity to question my loyalty and friendship, ek bestfriend ne mujhe rote thadap the dekha phir bhi kabhi nahi bola Kriya ke baremein even after knowing her whereabouts and the other one is just too great, as she is the reason of my pain, tell me Sharon you're were enjoying looking at my suffering right ( she shaked her head in no with tears) yeah you did isliye Kriya ko mujhse dur kar diya then it was only you who gave the fake break up plan to separate me and Taani and I being the idiot didn't know you're intentions followed you blindly" said chuckling bitterely, Swayam and the girls looked at him with tears, Sharon was cursing herself badly. " You know what today I Reyansh Singhania break ever tie with you guys, I'm not a part of the gang too" making them gasp, Sharon said immediately, " no Rey please don't I'm sorry you can punish me but don't say that", "no Sharon I'm sorry but I'm done even after knowing the truth I was bearing you only because of the contract now all the projects completed I'm backing off, I no longer want to continue, I can't let your shadow to fall on my relationships and happiness, Kriya is insecure and I can't let my love face again all that without her fault", he turned to go but again stopped at her, " Sharon I'm warning you for the first and last time never dare to come infront of Kriya or try to play your cheap tricks or else you have to face the wrath of Reyansh Singhania not your best friend, I'm no longer your best friend you better get that" making her tears to flow, he turned to Swayam who was just standing quiet, "Swayam you know I have no complaints for you, you know why, jo apne behen ka yaa apne parents ka nahi hua woh mera kya hoga but I want to thank you because of you Taani enter my life, maybe we are no longer the same but we are better, only because of her Kriya is back in my life and I got great family and friends who taught me the real meaning of friendship so thank you but now we are no longer friends" he said and walked away from there, Sharon saw him walking away from her life couldn't hold herself fall on her knees bursted out crying, Vishakha gave her a hateful glare and walked out, Swayam too walked away without giving her a glance but Simi consoled her, even though she was anger on her. Kriya was being restless, Reet tried to cheer her but her insecurities didn't allow her to think straight, she can't survive another heartbreak, Rey came back knowing exactly whats going on in her mind, Reet walked away giving them privacy, Rey consoled her assured her to never leave her making her take a relief breath.
