Abhi: Par tu hume itna hate kyu karta tha? { But why did you hate us so much?}

Arhaan: Vaishu meri bestie thi, lekin Abhi se pyaar karti thi, isliye usse bahut close thi, mai us wakt chota tha, isliye laga ki wo mere saath dosti tod degi. Avu meri utni achi dost nahi bani, lekin baaki ki thi, tab mai yeh sochta tha ki woh jaan karke mujhse dosti nahi karna chahti hai. Kaash tab samajh gaya hota ki sabne efforts daale the, Avu ne bhi, lekin maine nahi. Vaish ne bola ki ek chance du dono ko, par maine mana kiya yeh soch kar ki dono attention seekers hai, par phir dosti ka natak kiya taaki Vaishu se dosti na toot jaye, aur Vaishu ne saath diya yeh soch kar ki mai actually unse dosti kar lunga ek din. { Vaishu was my bestie, but loved Abhi, so she was more with him, I was very young, so I thought she'll break friendship with me. Avu wasn't that close friend of mine, but was with others, so I started thinking she doesn't want to be my friend. I wish I had understood that everyone had put efforts, even Avu, but I hadn't. Vaish asked me to give a chance to both, but I denied thinking of both as attention seekers, but then faked friendship so that Vaish doesn't break our friendship, and Vaishu supported me hoping one day I'll actually befriend them.}

Everyone was shocked knowing this. It was the first time Arhaan actually confessed it to someone. Vaishu was the only one who knew all of it, as she was a part of it. They both had been guilty for a very long time, but then moved on from it, and decided for a new beginning. And they forgot all of this over time, but today when they heard it, they remembered everything. The three of them didn't say anything about Avu's crush back then, as it meant nothing now. Abhi, Sid and Avu looked at each other, not sure if they should forgive him or not. He had realized his mistake, but getting over the hurt they had felt was not easy. Jai understood it, and decided to change the topic, though this one wasn't good, it was better than the previous one. 

Jai: Lekin tum dono date nahi karte the ka kya matlab? { But what does you both weren't dating mean?}

Fais: Ha, hume humesha bolte the ki couple ho, phir suddenly yeh? { Yes, always you both said you are a couple, then suddenly this?}

Avu: Ek tarah se ye fake relationship thi. { In a way it was a fake relationship.}

Abhi: Lekin humne kabhi nahi socha tha ki tum sab yeh baat manoge, kyunki Avni mujhe bhai bulati thi. { But we never thought you all will believe it, as Avni used to call me bhai.}

Realisation struck them, as they knew Avu used to always call him as her brother. Yet they believed it. Just then Arhaan's phone rang.  

Arhaan: Mujhe ghar jaana hoga. { I'll have to go home.}

He said getting up. All nodded and he went, while Avu sighed in relief. She didn't want this topic to be discussed in front of him. Suddenly she felt the pain in her neck, and held it, at the same time Sid also kept his hand where the mark was, as he felt pain. This took everyone's attention, but they went to their rooms. The girls went to Vaishu's room behind Avu, and the boys to Sid's. Both hadn't closed the door, as  the pain was becoming unbearable and had to apply the medicine fast. With Avu, 

Jaan: Avu, kya hua? Aur yeh cream kyu laga rahi hai apni hickey par? { Avu, what happened? And why are you applying cream on your hickey?}

Avu: Yeh hickey nahi hai, burn mark hai ajeeb sa. Jisko dekho woh hickey. Mai aur Sid jab woh picnic arrange karne gaye the, tab ghar aane ke baad yeh dukh raha tha, toh mujhe yeh dikha. Aur aaj subah jaldi bhi hum doctor ko dikhane gaye the Jai ke saath. Doctor ne yeh cream di hai. { Its not a hickey, its some burn mark. All are calling it hickey. When me and Sid had gone to arrange the picnic, after coming home it was paining. Next day morning we had gone to the doctor with Jai to show it. The doctor gave this cream.}
