In Restaurant-
Aru immediately dragged Ram out of the restaurant not knowing due to the force Ram's hand had a scratch which was bleeding.
Aru: What were you doing when she lifted her hand to slap you, Don't you know-(Her words got stuck in her throat when her eyes fell on the bleeding hand and the dude was looking at her smiling.)
Aru's eyes teared up looking at the bruised hand.
Aru: You dumbass, Don't you have a mouth. Tumhari pita ne diya na tumhe ey muh, kyun upyog nahi karthe ho. Peeda ho rahi hain. (Your father gave you a mouth for a reason. Why don't you use it? Is it hurting?) (She said blowing air on the scratch and cleaning it with her handkey. While she kept sobbing making Ram look at her worried.)
Ram: Yaa! I got the scratch. Why are you crying as if you got the scratch? (He said snatching his hand from her.)
Aru slapped his bicep and took him towards the car, took the emergency first aid kit, and started band-aid it.
Ram: Chalo hogaya. Ab rona bandh karo yaar! (See, it's over. Now stop crying.) (He said wiping her tears with his left hand.)
The elders especially the Dwarka family were looking at the screen Awwed as that Aarna cared so much for Ram.
The screen shifted showing Divya sitting in her room which was filled with photos of her and Rahul. She kept looking at them till her eyes turned red in anger and then she stood up abruptly and started smashing every photo to the ground and stepping on the broken photo frame with her bare foot.
She whimpered in pain due to the glass pieces piercing her skin and she limped towards the remaining photos, gathered every photo in her hands, and went outside and shouted towards the guards.
Divya: Guards! (She said throwing the photos in her hands to the ground making a huge glass-breaking sound.)
Guard 1: Mam, do you need anything? Ohh mam you are injured. Shall I call the doctor? (He said catching her hands cuz she's about to lose balance.)
Divya: Bring petrol and a matchbox now. And don't you dare question me why?
The guard silently went inside and bought them both making her immediately take the petrol can and pour all of it on the photo frames with her disheveled face which had tear marks on her cheeks.
When the photos started burning, she was looking at it with pure hatred and her hands started shivering as she didn't even know why she even trusted him in the first place.
She couldn't control her sobs anymore even if all he gave was just pain to her but she still loved him unconditionally.
Her loud and heart-wrenching wails are resonating in the room where every elder is watching the screen. Their eyes teared up at the sight of the elder princess of Indraprastha in a miserable condition.
Just then both Ram and Aru arrived home. They were shocked looking at the flames and Divya's loud cries.
Ram ran towards her and embraced her asking her what was wrong. She just buried her face in her brother's chest and kept crying loudly. Ram's eyes teared up at her sister who's always a strong girl now crying this miserably. He gritted his teeth remembering the reason behind her sister's heartbreak.
He picked her up quickly and went inside the home while she kept glancing at the burning flames. Her heart's burning with them too.
Aru immediately bought a glass of water, and Ram made her drink them holding her head himself. As she's not even responding to any word they are saying.
Ram: Divya, look at me. Look at me damn it. Please tell me you are ok. Aru please call the doctor now. (He said when his eyes fell on the glass pieces pierced in her bleeding feet.)
Ram: Why would you do that to yourself, Divya? Are you mad, You thought of self-harming. You forgot about all of us. Your family, you didn't think of us, but thought of that bastard whom you didn't even know more than an year. (He started shouting at her because he was hella worried while gritting his teeth at the mention of that brat Rahul.)
Aru: Ram! Stop shouting at her. I know you are just worried. But wait you have to at least remove the glass pieces from her feet they will be painful and can get infectious if stayed in the skin for a long time. (She said looking at her feet and went to bring the first aid kit.)
Ram immediately shut his mouth and started helping Aru in removing the glass pieces. They are worriedly glancing in between towards Divya who is not even hissing in pain.
After removing all the pieces the doctor finally came who bandaged the foot and did an injection to numb the pain.
Divya was still gazing at nothing with her expressionless face. Her state is scaring Ram so much. He started crying looking at his baby sister heartbroken. She used to be the angel from heaven always smiling. Now her happiness is gone.
Ram: Divya, please talk to me. Your bhai. You are scaring me now. Please call me bhai. DIVYA!! (Divya's trance broke when Ram shouted her name and she looked at him with her eyes filled with fresh tears.)
She again hugged him and started saying.
Divya: I feel so worthless bhai. How can he treat me like that? How did I even fall for that person bhai? I just want to go back in time and push him away from my life. (She kept saying while Ram caressed her hair silently not wanting to witness Divya's silent treatment again.)
Draupadi hid her face in Subhadra's shoulders who was sitting beside her not wanting anyone to see her crying.
After some time finally, Divya fell asleep in Ram's lap. Ram carefully put her head on the pillow and went into an unknown room.
He searched for something in the cupboard there and took out a revolver.
He angrily made his way out of the room.
He was going towards the main hall when he heard Aru telling him to wait.
Aru: Ram where are you going this late at night? (She gasped looking at the revolver in his hands.) And why are you taking this with you?
Ram didn't answer her and was about to go away when Aru grabbed his shoulders tightly and said.
Aru: Ram! Look at me. You are going to kill Rahul right?
Ram's eyes softened when Aru's eyes teared up but still he nodded in yes.
Aru: There's nothing wrong with that. And I won't stop you for that. But I will just make you remember the fact that he's married now. And if you kill him then remember That Rahul is not going to suffer but his wife is going to suffer all her life. I just wanted to remind you. The decision is yours. (She said leaving his shoulders.)
He fell on his knees understanding the gravity of his helpless situation. Aru kneeled and started consoling him while caressing his hair.
Ram: I can't see any of the kids in pain Aru. Why don't God just give all of their pain to me? They are just kids.
Aru without saying anything hugged him to her chest and started consoling him.
Everyone's eyes are filled with tears now, even Lord Krishna is crying looking at them.
Yudisthir was wailing openly looking at his daughter like that. Kunthi came towards him and hugged him trying to give him some comfort. Which didn't help him at all.
It is indeed painful to look at your children crying and broken to the core. . . . . . That's it guys.
