I'm taking my creative liberty here. Everyone's truth came out, mahendra sood, Varun, shashi were arrested for the murder charges of Virender Kapoor along with the attempted murder of Ram and Priya. In this story, Priya didn't hide anything from Ram and Raya together brought the truth out. The truth was out in Mahendra sood's house and everyone in sood's family at a point came to know about Varun and mahender's hand in Ram's accident as well as Ram's father's accident but they chose to hide it from Priya. Priya and ram neither consummated their marriage nor confessed their love.

Once the police arrested mahender, shashi, Varun and took them to jail, Priya turned to look at her family, she felt deeply hurt and ashamed. Only she was kept in dark about her own sister Sara's life. What hurt her most was even now she came to know about the truth accidentally and she know they had every intention to hide the truth about ishaan's birth as well as varun's and Mahendra's hand in both the accidents. Even neeraj and maitri have known the truth before her. It was like, they never considered her as family till now, whatever reason they may give for hiding everything from her, they had hurt her beyond words. Even if she tried to forget about her sister's truth, she can never forget the way her mother had turned a blind eye towards her husband's safety. The man who treated like own mother. He didn't deserve that. Her husband loved everyone in her family like his own, but all chose to her husband for granted. They literally played with his life.

Ram looked at his wife whose eyes were blank. He knew her family had crushed her soul, he can understand the turmoil she is going through.
Meera: Priya bachi, please listen to me.
Priya turned and looked at her husband who was near her the next moment. Ram entwined his hand with his wife and gave the support she was in need.  Ram then turned towards Meera.
Ram: give her some time m..
He was about to say ma when Priya held his hand in a death grip and shaked her head in a no. Ram looked at his wife questioningly as she was not allowing him to utter ma for her mother. And At that moment, Ram knew sood's have broken his wife beyond repair and now no one matters to him other than his priya.
Sara: Priya we are sorry
Sara slightly touched Priya to which she flinched which didn't go unnoticed by Ram. Ram took a deep breath and side hugged Priya before speaking to everyone without any emotion in his voice.
Ram: excuse my wife, all she needs now is rest and break from everything. Give her some time. She will contact you once she is ready to talk about this. Till then, Don't disturb her. That's the least you could do now for her.

Neeraj stood there smirking seeing Priya so broken, while Sara and Meera tried to say something but stopped listening to Ram. Maitri stood there not knowing what to say while akki moved towards Priya but stopped when Ram signalled him to stay where he was.
Ram: adi take care of the legal formalities. I'm taking Priya home.
Adi nodded his head in yes as no one was in a state to say anything. Ram's friends were proud of Ram with the way he is standing with Priya even they felt bad for Priya. They have witnessed how hard Priya helped Ram to reveal the culprits not knowing it was her own family.

Ram took Priya to Kapoor mansion. when he was about to walk Priya to their room, she asked him to talk to nandhini first as even they will be waiting anxiously without knowing what happened there. Ram looked at his wife in disbelief, how can she even think about others in this situation. Due to priya's insistence, Ram went to have a talk with Nandini asking Priya to take rest not knowing everything is going to change for them in few minutes.

Ram was about to enter nandini's room but stopped listening to their talk. Nandini was telling how tired she was of acting like a good mom to ram along with scolding her son shubu for his poor acting in loving his brother. They were busy planning how they are going to separate Ram and Priya by emotionally blackmailing Ram by talking about the sood's involvement. Ram stepped back in disbelief listening all the planning and plotting. Ram turned to walk out only to find Priya standing near him with tears streaming down her face. Priya who came to apologize nandhini on behalf of her family stood beside her husband listening to everything. Hearing nandini asking shubu to call Ram, Priya held Ram's hand and took him out of Kapoor mansion. They just walked aimlessly in their own thoughts holding eachother's hand. After walking for few hours, they sat under a tree in a deserted place feeling tired. Priya looked at Ram whose face was blank, she can't understand what is he thinking. She can't help but feel really sad for their fate, they both came to know on the same day that all life they lived was a lie. Seeing its almost mid night and she really don't know where they ended up. She shaked her husband a little as she don't know how to get back.
Priya: Mr. Kapoor, let's get back to home.
Ram looked at Priya and chuckled humourlessly making Priya sad.
Ram: home? Do we really have one?

Ram asked looking at Priya deeply, while the question he asked made her to broke down as it finally dawned to  her that they really don't have a home. Ram hugged Priya seeing her breaking down completely which undid his tears. Both sat there wailing loudly in eachother's arms for the betrayal they got. They cried for themselves for the first time in their life. They don't know for how many hours they sat crying in eachother's arms. They stayed in eachother's arms in comfortable silence once their sobs died down.

After composing himself, Ram cupped Priya face and pecked her forehead.
Priya knew Ram had decided something seeing the determined look on his face.
Priya: I'm okey with whatever you decide Ram.
Ram looked at her surprised as this was the first she is uttering his first name.
Priya: From this moment, we will live only for ourselves. I'm really sorry for all the lose you have faced due to my no sood's family.
Ram knew both were done with their so called family's love.
Ram: and I'm sorry for Kapoor's.
Fresh tears rolled down on their cheeks as they are finally letting go their family once and for all.
Priya: we don't want anyone Ram.
Ram: we will be there for Each other.
Priya: we will build our own home.
Ram: away from everyone
Priya: yes, a fresh start

Ram: just Ram and Priya
Priya: and our love.
Both locked their eyes together, they knew the mere word of I love you doesn't hold any value anymore. These love confessions felt so silly to them as they both are ready to live for each other.
Ram: yes, with only our love.
Ram held Priya's both hands in between his warm and squeezed it slightly making Priya smile which made Ram to genuinely smile slightly. They both knew they confessed their love without even uttering anything.
Ram: I need two weeks Priya.
Priya: two weeks?
Ram: to settle everything, then we will go somewhere and start our life freshly.
Priya nodded her head in yes.
Ram: shall we return back?
Priya: yeah.
Ram called his driver and sent him his location. Both waited for their driver hand in hand with new zeal to live. Live for themselves.

Ram and Priya entered Kapoor around 4 am. They silently slipped to their room thanking God for not encountering anyone. Next morning, both got ready for their respective work like everything was normal which left everyone baffled. Ram went to nandini and explained how his father's murderers have been arrested and everything has settled.
Nandini: par Ram how can you allow Priya to live with you. It's all my mistake, I shouldn't have gotten you married to her. I'm so sorry for spoiling your life Ram. What will happen to us if something happened to you. We are not safe around priya. Don't know what type of family they are. I can't take risk with my both childrens life. I will ask shivi to shift here today.

Ram for the first time understood the real worry of Nandhini. He softly smiled realising his true place in their life.
Ram: mo...
He was about to say mom, but couldn't bring himself to say mom for the first time.
Ram: you don't have worry about anything. Give me two weeks. I will settle everything till then don't say anything to Priya.
Nandini misunderstood Ram's word and thought Ram is going to divorce Priya.
Nandini: ok ram. Just two weeks, then Priya should be out of my home. I can't compromise with other's safety.
Ram: jee. I'm late for a meeting. Excuse me.

Next two weeks passed in a blink, Priya resigned her job. Ram transferred all their property in nandhini's name giving 5% each to adi, Kunal and vikrant as they worked hard and also responsible for whatever position their company is today. He had asked the lawyer to give once he was out of their reach. Priya bought the bakery in their mother's name with the savings she had. Ram had arranged for ishaan's scholarship as well.

It was around 1 am, they didn't even pack their clothes. They just took their certificates, some important documents and their photos.
Ram: shall we Priya?
Priya looked at Ram who was also controlling his tears. She moved forward and hugged him tightly. Both held onto each other drawing strength from the other. Ram held out his hand for Priya who placed her hand in his with a teary smile. Both started walking out starting their new journey.

Next day, it was Ram's friends who started searching for ram and Priya first as their family didn't even know that they were missing. One day passed without any information about Ram and Priya as both their phones were in their room. Next day, all assembled in lawyer's office both Kapoor's and sood's along with Ram's friends. Ram's lawyer gave Ram's will to nandhini who was more than happy to get every property in their name but got angry at Ram for giving 15% of their share to his friends. Ram's friends stood there rooted to their place listening to that. Now they can understand the way Ram and Priya behaved with them, the day before night when they went Missing. Ram and Priya both had their dinner with Ram's friends joking around good naturedly. Ram and Priya hugged everyone together and thanked them for being there for them always without any expectations. They brushed their emotional talkings aside thinking that the hardships they faced for the past few weeks were making them talk like that but never once they thought both Ram and Priya will vanish like this. Ram's lawyer gave the bakery papers to Meera and ishaan's scholarship documents to Sara.

Lawyer: Mr. Kapoor asked me to read this letter infront of both their families.

Thank you everyone for everything. Hope you all will live happily. We have done everything in our power to settle our debts to you guys for loving us. We don't need any share both in properties as well as in family love. We are leaving once and for all. We will never come infront of you ever. Sorry if we hurt you in anyway. Take care.

Priya and Ram.

Kapoor's didn't find it as a problem as they now got what they want. While sood's were sad as they never even get to see priya after that day in Mahendra's house and the letter was also a very formal one which hurt them the most. Ram's friends were the most hurt in all this as ram and Priya didn't even mention anything about them.  They don't how to search  for them. Ram never took a rupee from Kapoor's not even his clothes. They even left their mobile phones in Kapoor mansion. They didn't know what Ram and Priya are going to do further without a penny.

Kapoor's and sood's moved out of lawyer's office while Ram's friends sat in the lawyer's office without moving an inch worrying about their friends. It was very difficult for them to digest the fact that their ram left them.
After noticing only Ram's friends were in the office,
Lawyer: Mr. Adi
Adi: ji,
Lawyer: Mr. Kapoor asked me to hand over this letter to you guys alone and told you to read in privacy.
Adi plucked the letter from the lawyer's hand and opened it quickly while lawyer went out giving them privacy. Adi started reading

Adi, vik, Kunal and bri,
We know you all will be hurt with the decision we took but it was all we could do to save our sanity. It turns out the life we lived was lie guys. (Ram wrote what happened in Kapoor mansion after the returned from Mahendra sood's house). If something we both have earned in our life for ourselves then it's only the friendship of you guys and we are not going to miss it for anything. You guys don't have to worry about us as we are going to start afresh. We want you guys stay happy and focussed on your career. Whatever we do will be less for the unconditional love We got from you. We will miss you and guys please don't try to find us. Wherever we will live, you guys will always be in our thoughts. We will contact you once we get settled in this new life. Till then think it as a break from my torture. Stay blessed guys, I'm going to miss you all more than anything and jaan please keep them all in straight as you and priya are the only sane persons in our gang, priya will make sure to set me straight. So you take care of the three till we can meet again. Soon very soon we will contact you as we don't have anyone other than you guys in this world to love us truly. Love you all and miss you all.

With love,
Priya and Ram.

All cried listening to that, they can understand what they are going through. All touched the letter softly which was full of dried tears in it. All shared a hug crying for their friends who never once did anything for them. They were happy that finally they decided to live for themselves. They are waiting eagerly for the day when they will meet their friends again. With that hope they went out of the lawyer's office.
