Ishaan joins college and about three months have passed and he has no idea where Khushi is. To his surprise, he finds Khushi and she tells him that she enrolled in his college just for him by paying a lot of money. Khushi gives a lot of signs that she is in love with him but she doesn't say those 3 words to Ishaan which he tries extremely hard for.
