Boyz Do Cry

To love or not to love? That is the question. 16 episodes later & we're here! Where are we, you ask? Somewhere in between. We look back at our journeys, and all the twists and turns that finally led us to this moment. Ram cries, and Paulina wonders if things will ever be the same, or if they're meant to change, and wash away.
