Sam leaves the college, but promises Maddy that he will have his revenge.2 Years later, Maddy has taken a job as software instructor at a private company. His attitude has mellowed a lot, but not changed. Once, he and his college cronies attend a wedding of another classmate, where Maddy spots Reena. Maddy gets smitten and tries to know more about her, but in vain. However, destiny makes them meet again. Soon he learns that Reena plans to marry Rajeev Samra, an old friend who is now an NRI.

Here, Maddy goes into depression and starts drinking. Reena is no better off without him either, as she finds it very difficult to forget him. Though the enmity between Sam and Maddy is renewed, Sam cannot help but notice that Reena is marrying him only because she is mad at Maddy.
Finally, Rajiv confronts Reena and asks her whether she loves him or Maddy. Here, Maddy's well wishers decide to send him off to America. When Rajiv realizes that Reena still loves Maddy, he takes her to the airport. Rajiv and Maddy spot each other. Maddy thinks that Rajiv has come to rebuke him once more.
