She reluctantly finds comfort in her college friend Akshay Bedi who secretly loves her. They fall in love but Sonika is helpless since she can't tell Akshay about her situation with Mandar. Akshay gets to know the truth and comforts her. They decide to run away to be together. Sonika is happy and becomes hopeful of having a free life. Mandar discovers that she has eloped with her lover.

Mandar and his men reach Akshay's house and attack him. Sonika begs him to leave Akshay alone but they kill him by tying him to a rope and throwing him in a lake in a car.

Then she writes a journal describing her torture. She dives into the same lake and puts it in the car. She then kills one of the three men who was involved in killing Akshay. After that, she informs Inspector Anton about Akshay's dead body. However, Mandar makes it look like Sonika killed Akshay. Sonika then kills another one of Mandar's men involved in Akshay's death. Sonika teams up with Mandar's rival and to get to the third man who helped killed Akshay but Mandar himself kills him.
