Saurabh home, AStha out for outdoor shoot, a plan of Kiran's !!!
Simran is very upset that Saurabh asked AStha to go. AStha tries to talk, but Saurabh tells her that you have left your papa, left your mama, now who am i? You wanted to see me, you have seen me, thank you for coming, now leave. Astha cries, starts to leave. Simran gets up to stop her, but Abhi holds her hands. Simran somehow manages to go out, but Astha is gone. Abhi follows her. Saurabh is sad that Astha is gone. Abhi tells Simran that what papa did was right. Simran says this is not fair, papa should have respected her sentiments. She is his pet, he was waiting for her, when she came, he asked her to go, this is unfair. Abhi says she came like a stranger. We should allow her in only when she comes forever. Papa is right. She came her to complete a formality, she did not see that others were also present there, wanted to see papa, leave. So papa did the right thing. You stop being emotional. Simran says if we stop her, then she will not come for this 5 minutes too.Abhi says let her not come. Its better she does not come. Abhi then calmly tells Simran that she has to understand and realise that we are all telling for her good. She has to realise that. Simran is crying, but says i understand. Simran says i will see the formalities of the hospital and come. Abhi again asks her whether she understood. She does not say anything and leaves.
AStha is at Kiran's place, crying her heaert out that nanu has changed. He did not ask me to sit, nobody talked to me, nobody stopped me from leaving. Kiran consoles her, tells her that they will not understand her, why cry? Astha says they want me to get back forever, but they do not talk to me. Kiran says yes, they want you back, bcos they want to finish your career. I will not allow that to happen, as you are Neha's daughter. Kiran then tells Astha that her first outdoor shooting schedule is planned, she is gonig to Hyderabad. Astha asks whether she is coming. Kiran says i cannot come with you. I can just guide you. They both celebrate Astha's success by drinking.
SAurabh is back home. Shaguna takes his arrti. All help Saurabh to sit in the sofa. Saurabh is trying to bend, to take out his slipper. But Abhi asks him not to bend, does it for him. Saurabh is touched. Abhi then helps him to keep his leg over the stool. Saurabh is better now. SAurabh asks Simran whether she felt bad bcos he was strict towards Astha. Simran said to tell you, i was. But Abhi told me that she has to realise that we are doing this for her good, then i felt ok. Abhi tells Simran that as parents, we can just guide them, but they have to take their own decisions, it is ultimately their call. SAurabh tells Simran that we have to live without Astha. I cannot see you like this, he says to Simran. Abhi also says that we have to go on with our lives. Simran says that i think this is correct, we need to be strict with her. If i was strict from the beginning, this day would not have come. Abhi laughs ,says sometimes mother's unconditional love has no limits. He then tries to get up, says he has to see how Shaguna has arranged Saurabh's room. Saurabh stops Abhi, tells him that he has served him like his own son, he thanks him. Abhi gets happy. He then tells him that these two do not go together. Abhi asks Saurabh to chosse one. SAurabh smiles, says i will not say thanks hereafter. Simran and Sia are touched. Abhi goes in, saying he has to see what Shaguna is doing. Sia and Saurabh hug. Simran smiles, thinks we will begin a new chapter of our life from today.
Abhi is in his room, crying. Tears are rolling down his cheeks, he is not able to control his emotions. Simran comes into the room to talk to him, sees Abhi crying. She is shocked. When she calls for him, he tries to hide his tears, gets up, tries to go out to check on Shaguna. Simran stops him, sees his eyes. Tears are still rolling down his cheeks. She tells him that you can hide your tears, but you can never hide your sorrows to me. Abhi says there is nothing. Simran holds him, askshim what is it? Abhi laughs in the midst of his tears, says there is no problem. When papa called me son, i was moved. I just could not control myself. I have lived with this heavy heart for 20 long years that i was responsible for so many misdeeds, he did not forgive me. But today, his naalayak damaad who married his laayak beti has become his son, he says. Simran says i am glad that this happened. I have been waiting to see this day. I could not see hatred and anger on his face for you. Nut deep down, i knew that he will firgive you one day. Abhi is still in tears. Abhi says i am so happy and relieved today. But my happiness would have been different, if Astha was with us today. Simran and Abhi hug each other crying.
Kiran is talking on the phone to that producer who took AStha's screen test. She tells him that she is ready for the shoot. The person saysthere should be no stoppages from her father. Kiran assures him that nobody will come this time. She askss for 50% advance, otherwise, she will be the first person to stop it. The producer agrees. He tells Kiran that she has to co operate. Kiran tells him that Astha is not that kind of a girl .THe person says i know, but our hero Vikram is fun loving. So he will want entertainment. Kiran says my responsibility is over once i get my money. You have to impress upon her ,get the job done. If anything happens during the shoot, if the media gets to know about this, i am not responsible, says Kiran. After the phone talk, she asks Heera to lock the door and leaves. Heera is happy that nobody is there in the house.

Her leg starts to bleed. Astha sees this, asks Heera to sit, immediately gets the first aid kit,dresses her wound. Heera is touched. Astha thensees Heera's dress and asks her why she is wearing Kiran's dress. Heera says she wanted to waer this, so wore. AStha asks her to change before Kiran came. She tells Heera that she will be risking her job by doing this. Heera says she will not do this again. Astha tells her that she will not tell anything to Kiran. Heera is happy. There is a door bell. Astha asks Heera to clear things and change her dress as Kiran is back. AStha runs to the door. Heera runs to change her dress. Kiran comes in. She is about to go into her room, but Astha wants to stop her. So she asks Kiran to check her luggage and tell her whether she has taken everything.
Astha is leaving. Heera gives Astha dahi as a good omen. Heera tries to tell Astha about Kiran's motives, and that such shootings are not good. But Kiran comes, screams at Heera. Astha is tensed. She tells Kiran that she will not go, asks her to cancel the shoot. Kiran tells her that all have high hops on her, her screen test and first shoot went off so well. Astha then agrees. Kiran asks her to take her medicines, asks her not to get tensed, please all there. Astha leaves. Kiran is relieved that AStha left. She curses AStha that she needs so much attention, she has not even given her son this. She then calls the old man who had come home. She tells him that the guest has gone. So they can have a jolly time, she is a free bird. The person agrees. Heera hears this and tells Kiran to stop AStha. She asks her to get her back. Heera tells Kiran that she is still a kid, she must have not gone out alone when she was with her family. You have now sent her to strangers, on a shoot. Kiran asks her to mind her business, asks her to cook as she she is getting a guset. She asks her to get lost. Heera goes. Kiran says i do not care for her.

Abhi's mom says i would have done much more, but feared you. Simran laughs, says you did so much, now you are fearing me. Abhi's mom says i have got an opportunity to do this after a long time. Simran says i understand. Then Simran asks them to come here, so that they all can leave from Simran's place.
All are ready to leave. They are getting their bags out of the house, when Simran gets a call. It is from the Eye Donation Office. The lady tells Simran that she called to remind that the shoot is at 11.30,so she has to be there. Simran is upset that she forgot about it. She requests the lady to keep it some other day. The lady says they have made all arrangements, they have to give this ad to the client, they will be in a mess. Simran agrees to come. She then tells all that it completely slipped from her mind that she had to go to the eye donation campaign. All say we will go tomorrow. Simran says you all are ready, so why not you go. Astha says i will stay back with mama. We both will come in a taxi, as soon as mama finishes the work. All agree. Abhi asks Simran to call him when they start. All leave. Simran tells SAurabh not ot eat outside food. Saurabh says don't worry, i will not eat at all. So all leave.
Simran in the shoot. Simran says before the camera that every morning, when she opens her eyes, she sees beutiful trees, birds flying, butterflies on flowers, smiles of near and dear ones. This makes my day beautiful and cheerful. At night, when i close my eyes to sleep, i know it gets dark. But i also know that when i open my eyes, i see light, so i do not fear dark. But there are so many in this world who can see only one colour thro their eyes, i.e. darkness. It is estimanted that for every 5 seconds, an adult and for every 1 minute, a kid gets affected with this and they cannot see. So i am talking tis not as a doctor, but as a human being that after life, seeing life, thro' some others' help is in itself a great achievement and happiness. She concludes by saying that there is no greater daan than Netra daan. So she is willing to do this daan for a cause. She urges all to come forward for the same.
Night. Simran and AStha are travelling in a taxi. Both Simran and AStha are very happy. Simran tells AStha that the campaign went well. Simran tells AStha that she would have postponed if it was somethnig lese, but this was eye donation, it is a very noble cause, so wanted to do it. Astha agrees. Simran says it is so nice to give others' happiness. Astha then tells Simran that she wants to become a doctor. Simran says you can do anything you want. But this is a lifetime decision. So you need to think and decide. Just then, Abhi calls. Simran says we are on our way. Simran tells Abhi that AStha said something very nice now. He wants to know what it is. Simran says i will come and tell. Have patience. Abhi enquires about Astha, Simran says she is perfectly fine. After the phone talk, Simran tells Astha that papa is missing them. Astha asks missing me or you. Simran laughs, says dirty girl. She then tells Astha that when you were not there, papa missed you a lot, he loves you so much. AStha is sad. She says i missed a lot, i could have spent such nice time , i wasted my time. Simran says do not worr,y you are back, you can enjoy to heart's content. Astha and Simran hug each other. They look very happy. The car is moving in a highway, when another car with strong headlights just whizzes past teir car. The driver loses control, te car goes out of the road, hits a brick wall. The car dashes against the brick wall, both Simran and AStha fall front in the hit. The car gives a big jolt, both fall forward.
Tomorrow: Abhi looks worried, is in his room. All come there, ask why Simran and AStha have not come yet. They had to come by now. Abhi's mom says i wanted to do the arti today itself if they had come. Abhi says they will be here by tomorrow, so we can do the arti tomorrow.

Bomb Explosion, we see cute Astha for the last time!!!
The car bangs into the brick wall. Theris big jolt, AStha begins to scream. But they have a miraculous escape, both are not hurt. They just fall off theri seat. They help each other out of the car. AStha is afraid, still in shock. She scolds the driver for not driving properly. Simran consoles her. ASthq begins to cry, she bursts into tears. She is still afraid, says i am feeling tense. Simran tries to console her, while the driver goes to see whether any vehicle is coming. AStha continues to cry, says nobody is here. How do we go home? What will we do now? She leans on Simran's shoulder, Simran is telling her that we will try to get a lift. She consoles AStha with great difficulty. It is pitch dark. AStha asks Simranto call papa. Simran says we will get into some vehicle, then will call, otherwise papa will be very tense.
Just then, a bus comes. The dirver stops the bus. AStha and Simran lift the luggage. The bus halts. Simran asks where the bus is going. The person says to Shirdi. Simran says we will get down before Shridi, in the highway. The person asks them to get in. Simran and Astha thank the driver and get in. The bus is buzzing with music with a saint singing. All others are joining him and all are singing. AStha and Simran get comfortable. AStha is now ok. Simran calls Abhi and tells about the accident. Abhi is shocked, asks are both of you ok? How is Astha? Simran assures him that both are fine. They are in a bus. Abhi is stunned and asks what, bus? Simran says we got only a bus, so got in. WE are safe in the bus. Abhi tells them to call once they get down from the bus. He will get the car and pick them up from the high way. Simran agrees. She tells AStha that papa is missing us, is terrible upset.
Simran then tells Astha that she wants to tell her something. She tells Astha that i never got an opportunity to tell you the truth. Whatever you heard about me, is not completely wrong. But i want to tell you everything. AStha says there is no need for that. Simran says i don't know when i will be able to tell you all these things. So will like to tell you now. She tells AStha that she was the person who got Abhi and Neha married. But she never knew when she got in between their relationship. She says she did not realise that Neha was actuallt feeling hurt with Simran being close to Abhi. Simran saYS that it was Manas who told her that Neha is feeling unconfortable with this. But she got angry at him. But Manas was absolutely right. She says she understood that later. Then decided to stay away from Neha and Abhi. But to her surprise, she found that Neha was not comfortable when she went away from Abhi. She actually asked Simran why she was gonig away from Abhi. Simran says she did not have an answer to Neha's question, did not know what to say. Simran says she does not know why Neha did not write this part in her diary. She tells Astha that if Neha had written this, AStha would not have misunderstood Simran. Astha says i have forgoteen everything. I only remember that you have been my mother for 18 years. You were , are and will always be my mom, she says. AStha and Simran hug, a very emotional scene. Simran kisses AStha on her forehead, blesses her.
Abhi is restless in his room, when all others come to his room. Abhi's mom ask why Simran and AStha have not come. Abhi hides their accident thing, bcos Simran had asked him not to tel anyone. Abhi says they are on their way. Abhi's mom says i thought we will go for tonight's arti. Abhi says we will go tomorrow, as they will also be here by tomorrow morn. All agree. Shaguna asks whether all have any program of eating dinner. Sia suggests that all go and eat in a nearby dhaba. All are exicted. Saurabh's opens his mouth, is exicted. Just then, Abhi asks what will nanu do? Saurabh says i will also eat the Kali ma ki dhal, kadak rotis. Afterall, Simran is not here. Shaguna and Sia tease him. All leave for the dhaba.
In the bus, singing continues. They are all singing the song Shirdi wale SAibaba. Simran and Astha hug each other, are sitting. A woman asks Simran where she is going, whether to Shirdi. Simran says they will get down at Ramtek, they are going to their kul devi mandir. The woman asks whether that is her daughter. She tells Simran that the girl is very pretty. Simran hugs Astha. Another woman says that they came to this baba, only then they were blessed with kids. Simran says i have been to shirdi. A boy says i was failing continuously, then i took baba's blessins. Then i topped my engg entrance. Another woman says you are going to the kul devi mandir for the first time, is it? Simran says yes. She says i have also been there to the temple you are going. If you wish for something, go there, you will definitely get it. You will be drawn to visting the temple again and again.
Dhaba. Abhi and others are eating in the oustide dhaba. Saurabh is enjoying the food. He asks Sia to take a snap in her mobile, show it to Simran. They all laugh. Shaguna is enjoying the food for a change, says she has not made it, so is feeling good to eat this. Abhi is looking at his mobile, expecting Simran to call. Sia notices, says if you are missing mama, call her. Abhi says yes, i will and calls Simran. Simran and AStha are also in a dhaba, eating. Abhi says we are in a dhaba. Simran says what a coincidence, we too are in one. The food is very nice. Abhi says you are in a bus, so you have no other option but to go to the dhaba where the driver stops. But they have chosen the best dhaba , are eating. Simran gives out the menu asto what they are eating. Abhi says we are also eating the same. Simran asks whether papa is not eating this food. SAurabh is about to put a piece of roti in his mouth, when Abhi tells him that Simran is enquiring what you are eating. Saurabh asks Abhi to hide. Abhi pretends as though the line is not clear. He cuts the phone. Simran tells AStha that papa is missing them. AStha says yes, i loved this dhaba food. I am visiting a dhaba for the first time. Sia must also be eating in a dhaba for the first time. It would have been nice if we had all come together. Simran says this was your idea to stay back with me. AStha says yes, i wanted to be with you. Simran tells cAStha that they will be with them in few hours, she can enjoy later. The driver asks all to come. Simran and Astha gulp quickly and start.
The bus is moving, pitch dark out, when a woman who is in her advanced stage of pregnancy, gets labor pain. She starts to scream. Simran sees her, the woman says she is in the 9th month. Simran asks all to close all the curtains of the bus, go out. All go out. A person who looks mysterious, keeps his bag on a seat, gets out with others. All are waiting out. Astha is inside the bus. Simran has put the lady to lie on the seats. She is asking her to relax and follow the procedure what she says. Simran asks AStha to go out. AStha says i will assist you. Simran asks AStha to get some hot water. Astha runs out of the bus, asks for hot water. The saint puts a bonfire, pours water from his bottle, boils the water, gives it to AStha. Time passes. AStha is inside, helping her mom. Finally, the kid is born. The lady says she did not have a kid for 7 years. So came to seek blessings. The woman is happy, that Simran came like a god to save her and her kid. She is very happy. She thanks Simran, tels her that she and her family should live happily. AStha is moved, she is in tears, listening to the praise Simran got. Simran asks her to go and call all in . AStha wipes her tears, gives a pleasant smile to Simran, calls all in. All get in. The bus moves. But the person who left his bag in, does not get in. After the bus goes, he gives out a broad smile.
AStha is feeling very proud of her mom's achievement. She tells Simran that you became God for them. I liked it so much. I also will become a doctor, will work in your hospitsl, under you. Simran hugs her kid. They both look very happy. Simran says both my daughters have decided their career. One is going to be a film maker, the other will be a doctor. She hugs AStha as though this is going to be the last time she is doing it. All contiune to sing bhajans.
AStha while turning here and there, notices that a person who was seated in the back seat is not there, with his bag remaining on the seat. She tells Simran that a person who was sitting there is not there. She tells Simran that the person did not board the bus after we stopped for delivery. Simran is upset, she tells the conductor that a person is missing. The conductor says we have come a long way, nothing can be done. AStha tells Simran that the person's bag is there. She asks Simran whether she will see it. Simran asks her to sit quietly. Just then, Abhi calls. Simran is talking to him over the phone. All are singing. Astha continues to see the bag, is wondering what valuable things that bag might have, that fellow lost it. She is tempted to give the bag to the driver. She wants to ask Simran whether she can do it. But Simran is talking onthe phone. So AStha gets up all by herself, takes the bag. They show that there is a time bomb inside the bag, which reads 50 seconds.AS AStha moves to the dirver's seat taking thr bag, Simran who is talking, notices this, calls out for ASthu. This is it, they show Astha with the bag. In a split second, the bomb explodes, there is nothing but fire all over.
Tomorrow: Abhi and others come to the hospital. They enquire about Simran and AStha. There is huge set of doctors treating patients. Many are burnt, many are screaming in pain. Abhi and Sia go in to see the patients. Abhi asks a doctor there, referring to Dr. Simran and her daughter. The doctor first says we do not know who all are here. You just enquire at the reception.

Both go into a ward where there are plenty of patients on the bed, yelling and screaming due to severe burns. The atmosphere is very pathetic, as kids, old people, young men, women are all lined up in beds, with all having very severe burns. Abhi and Sia look thro each bed, but do not find Simran. Sia is getting a nausea seeing this scene. Abhi asks a doctor there referring to Dr. Simran and their daughter. The doctor asks Abhi to enquire out as they do not know. He asks another doctor who gives the same reply. The scene inside is very pathetic with cries everywhere. Abhi asks another doctor refers to Dr. Simran. The doctor at first says he does not know, later he realsies the name, asks him whether it is the famous gynaec Dr. Simran. Abhi nod his head, says she had her daughter with her. The doctor recollects a patient ,says so the injured woman must be Dr.Simran. The doctor aslo says that when she was brought, she was calling out a name AStha. Then she became unconscious.

All are screaming in pain . Sia is afraid to see the patients. She cries. Abhi holds her hand, takes her into the ward. The doctor stops near a bed. Sia does not look at the bed at all.

Abhi requests the doctor whether she can be put in a seperate ward. The doctor agrees. Sia then with fear in her face, asks Abhi about Astha. Abhi also, with fear, asks the doctor about AStha. The doctor asks them to come out. Sia holds Abhi's shirt and asks him about Astha. Abhi tells her that he is taking us to Astha probably, so come. They all go out of the room. The doctor stops and tells them that we have to wait for Simran to regain consciousness to know the full fact. Sia tells the doctor that AStha is slim, with long hair, a mole on her cheek etc. The doctor says ther are plenty of patients here, of all ages, so it is difficult to identify. Sia does not believe, she tells Abhi that we will search. The doctor says that these are the survivors, if she is not here, then ....Sia does not want to listen to anything, she pulls Abhi, asks him that they both will search for Astha. She must be around. But Abhi is listening to the doctor, who says that some people were telling him that there was a girl with Dr. Simran. It was known that a person kept a bag in the bus, got down at some point. This girl saw the bag, she was the one to take the bag innher hand, was going to pass in on to the driver when this blast occured. Abhi and Sia are shocked. Abhi screams out but where is AStha? The doctor very hesitanlt said that we did not get the body. Abhi is stunned. Sia gives out a deafening cry, she bursts into tears, sceams aloud , a very pathetic scene where Sia falls to the ground screaming AStha's name. Abhi holds her in his arms, hugs her, tries to pacify her. Abhi and Sia are onto the ground, Sia screams aloud for AStha, a huge cry and roar, Abhi is also in tears. Both hug each other, a very emotional moment. Shaguna and others hear a girl screaming and crying. The cry intensifies as they see Sia being brought by Abhi. Sia is crying and screaming. All see her, all are shocked. Saurabh, Abhi's parents, Shaguna start questioning where is Simran? Both do not answer. Abhi is not able to answer. Sia continues to weep. All get scared.

Abhi does not speak. Abhi's mom is very tense, she screams out to Abhi to answer. Abhi then asks his mom to sit down, makes her sit in the bench, then kneels down and then says that AStha is no more. Saurabh at once, gets a heart attack, collapese on the floor. All give out a cry as they see him falling to the ground.
Urmila in Mumbai, sees the paper , where Simran's photo is put up. The headlines read, Dr. Simran hurt in a bus blast. Her daughter AStha dead. Urmila shows it to Sid. Sid and Urmila are shocked.

Sid is with the doctor in Simran's room. Simran is now in a private ward. Her wounds have been well attended to. She has bandage all over, hands, head, eyes. Sid is checking her eports, asks for a MRI report. The doctor says we do not have that facility. The doctor says that we have done al the necessary tests. All her vital organs are ok. Sid sees the Bp, says that her BP is very high. The doctor nods his head. Sid tells him that he wants to shift her immediately to his hospital as he needs to do all the tests. The doctor advises him to shift her as soon as she regains consciousness. Sid agrees. Sid then tells the doctor that with so less facilities , they have really tried their level best to save all lives, they have done a commendable job. The doctor sees Simran, tells Sid that he never knew that this was Dr. Simran when she was brought here. Sid is upset.
Media people are there, talking to the people who escaped with very less injuries. One couple is the lady who delivered in the bus, with her new born and husband. All the three are fine with little bruises. The lady cries, says i was pregnant, developed pain in the bus. We did not know that she was such a big doctor. The husband says she asked all to go out of thr bus, took charge of the delivery. The lady says she was the one who brought our kid to life, but God has done a cruel thing by taking away her own daughter. Abhi and others are sitting right in front of this place where the lady and her husband are being interviewed. All are upset. The lady and her husband tell the media that she is such a nice lady, our prayers are with her. Nothing will happen to her, we pray for her good health.Sia and others are moved by this. Abhi is simply stunned, has lost his mental stability, just walks out of the corridor, is going in the direction which leads to the hospital exit. He is walking as though he has lost senses. Sid comes out, tells all that he has checked Simran's reports, they appear to be ok, so she will get conscious soon. All are happy. All pray to God. Sia is in tears. She then runs in the direction where Abhi is walking. Abhi is just walking, does not know where he is going. Sia runs, stops him, tells him that mama's room is that side, this is not the way to her room. Abhi just stares, realises later that where he is standing. Sia takes him to Simran's room.
Simran's room. Sia, Urmila, Sid and Abhi are inside. Abhi is sitting near Simran, very close to her bed. He is talking to her. He tells her to get up. All are waiting to see you .Just see, all are here. So many people are praying for your recovery, this is not good if all prayers go a waste. You have given life to so many people, you definitely have the right to live, Simran. If not for anybody , just come back for us. We have seen so much of problems in life, enough is enough. If you do not come back, it will be too much. AS he says this very emotionally, Simran's lips which are dry, bleeding, move. Urmila notices this. She tells all. Sid immediately checks Simran's ECG, BP etc in the monitor. Abhi is a bit relieved, continues to speak. He keeps saying, Simran this is Abhi, i am here with you. He repeats this many a times. Simran with great difficulty, opens her mouth, calls out for ASthu in a very faint voice. She keeps repeating the name of Asthu. It is really a very pathetic scene where all are stunned, do not know what to say. Simran goes on calling out her name ASthu. Sia breaks into tears, tries to shur her mouth with her hands, does not want to give out a loud sound and cry as Simran will hear it. AS Simran keeps on repeating ASthu's name, Abhi starts to say that AStha is fine Simran. He repeats it twice or thrice. Simran stops to lament. She gets quiet. Abhi is crying. Tears roll down his cheeks as he lies to Simran .All are shocked to hear Abhi saying that AStha is fine. Sia is still holding her mouth tight as she is not able to control her tears. Abhi is also crying sitting near Simran. He is trying very hard to control his tears.
Tomorrow: The police say that they got nothing inside the bus, except for some things. They ask Abhi, Sia, Shaguna who are there to identify whether it is AStha's.

These terrorists take the life of innocent people. She cries. She is being picturised, her clips are taken. The reporters ask Kiran what does she feel about Astha's death? Kiran cries, says what can i say, how can i tell that? She was my innocent little kid. I can't tell how low i am now. She cries saying that she has lost her Astha. Heera is also there, listening to Kiran. Kiran continues to say that AStha had such big plans ,aimed a lot, was reaching big success .With her loss, this country has lost a big model, a future star.

We could not perform her last rites. So we need to do a havan. Abhi screams ,tells her that shal;l i call the pundit here itself? Whatever has to be done for AStha, will be done only after Simran gets home. Afterall, if anybody has the rights to do something for AStha's death, it is Simra, he says. Abhi's mom cries, says she did not mean to say that. All cry. Sia cannot control her tears. She runs away from there. A police person comes. He tells Abhi that they have some bodies which cannot be identified, they are completely damaged. So there is no way in which those bodies can be identified. So the only way out is to check the things they got in the bus, identify the things, prove the identity. He tells Abhi that he understands their mental condition, but they have to get this identification process done. So he requests them to come to the room near the casualty ward, to identify the things and confirm Astha Seaxena's death. Abhi is shocked. He just cannot sit, he is feeling very uncomfortable. Abhi's father has not heard what the police said, so is asking what did he say. Abhi is in no mood to tell him anything, just shakes his hand. Abhi's mom who realises everything is crying.
Sia is near the reception crying bitterly. Sid sees her, goes to her. Sia cries, tells Sid that it was my mistake. I should have kept her happy. I should have agreed to wahtever she said. I thought she will get ok with time. But i did not know that we never had time to stay together. SAying this , she cries a lot. Sid says that i was also thinking about it. She was such a special friend of mine. She searched for a true friend in me, but i was always dictating her. I was ordering her to do this, not do that. I was worried more about her future, so wanted to correct her. I did not live the present with her. I just cannot believe that AStha is no more, saying this, he breaksdown. He cries a lot. Sia too cries. Sid says that i still dream that AStha will come now from that corner, say that she fooled us and hug us. Both cry. Sia leans on him, he consoles her. Sia asks him whether mama will get alright soon. Both cry over each other.
The doctor is coming out of Simran's room. The media people catch him, enquire about Simran. Shaguna who is there, is listening to this conversation. The media asks about Simran.The doctor says that she is out of danger. They want to know the death count. The doctor tells them that there have been 5 deaths as of now, the 9 year old kid who was in coma is no more. 14 of them are injured, out of which 9 are very serious. They ask how does he think this blast occured? The doctor says please ask the police. Then the doctor says a person kept a bag in the bus, AStha took this bag and was walking when this occured. They ask when can they see Simran. The doc says you cannot. She is not mentally and medically prepared to see you. But she is out of danger. AS the reporters walk across after this interview, Shaguna stops them, asks a girl what did the doc say? The girl says that Simran is ok. Shaguna is very happy, has tears of joy rolling down her cheeks. She thanks God. She is happy, still tears continue to flow.
In a room, a police person is giving interview to the media. They ask him how this occured. The police says that there was a person in the bus. All got down from the bus as Simran had to conduct a delivery. This person is said to have kept the bag. They ask why people going to Shirdi were targetted. The police says that terrorists main aim is to hurt innocent people, so this is it. Just then, Abhi, Sia, Abhi's parents come to identify the things. So the police ask the media to go out. They go out. But the media people stand outside , see thro the window. The police ask Abhi and others to identify the things of AStha from a set of things kept on the table for display. There are slippers, hand bags, a lamp, many more things. Abhi is stunned to see all this. But none of that belongs to AStha. He tells the officer that its not here. Abhi then glances at the other side where some bags are kept. His eyes fall on a black bag. He is stunned. He points his hand in the direction of that bag. Sia is shocked to see it. The police get the bag ,place it near Abhi. Abhi starts to shiver. Abhi wants to go out of the room. Sia stops him, cries loud that this is AStha's. Abhui then goes near the bag. He is shivering, wants to open it. But takes a lot of time to recoup, open the bag. He opens it, is shocked to see his camera there. He takes it out. It is broken into pieces. Tears come out of his eyes as he remembers the incident when Abhi had given the camera to AStha before his marriage with Simran. He holds it in his hand. He is trying to take it out of the room, he just cannot walk, he shivers. He keeps seeing the camera. He tries to move, but cannot. He trips, falls to the ground. Sia and his mom support him. Abhi is sitting on the ground, holding the camera tight in his hand. He screams calls out AStha's name and tells some 2 -3 lines. ( I just could not make out what he said). All are crying. He is clinching to it, crying, Sia is holding her father, crying too.
Tomorrow: Simran asks for AStha. Abhi tells her that she is fine, is in the other room. She asked for Simran. Then the doc is removing the bandage from Simran's eyes. Abhi is standing before her. Simran opens her eyes slowly.

Simran loses sight, has a cornea damage!!!
Simran is sobbing holding to Abhi. Abhi is shocked. Simran again says that i can't see you Abhi. I can just hear you. I want to see you, Abhi. I want to see Astha, i want to see my family. Abhi hugs her. He asks her not to cry. He says nothing has happened. You are feling the stress in your eyes, bcos you were hurt. You will get over it, he says. He asks Simran to close her eyes, try to open them again. The doctor scolds Abhi and asks Simran not to strain her eyes. Abhi says why not? The doctor tells him not to interfere, they will test. Abhi gets wild, screams at them, so why are you standing, do something. He then tries to go out of the room, saying he will fetch more competent doctors. Simran calls him, putting her hands out, wanting to be near her. Abhi comes back. Sid asks Abhi not to panic. Abhi tells Sid not to teach him what to do and what not to do. Simran calls for Abhi, Abhi is forced to go near her. Abhi keeps screaming at the doctors that he will not bear any negligence on Simran's health. Simran tries to put her hand over Abhi's mouth, stops him from talking. Then there is pin drop silence, with Simran clinging to Abhi and crying. Abhi is devastated on seeing Simran's state. The doctors then make Simran lie down. Abhi is asked to go out. Sid remains inside the room, while the doctors are testing Simran's eyes.
Abhi goes out, sits in the lobby, thinking. Sia and Abhi's mom do not understand anything, keep asking Abhi what is wrong? Abhi does not say anything. He suddenly gets up, says to Sia that he does not know what is happening, but will just see what is going on. He tries to go inside Simran's room, Sia stops him, asks him what is the problem? Abhi says in a confused tone that her mom is saying that she is not able to see anything. Sia and Abhi's mom get ashock. Abhi goes to enter the room, when a doctor coming out stops him from going. Abhi is very tense. He holds his hand over his head, says how can Simran go blind? He moves from there. Urmila is standing right behind Abhi, she hears what Abhi said, is completely shocked to hear this.
Simran is being tested in the room. The doctors throw light into Simran's eyes thro'a torch and examine. The doctor finishes his check up. Simran asks him there is no hope na. The doctor tells Simran that she being a doctor will very well know that nothing can be told till it is confimed thro' B Scan. Simran is crying. She says get that also done doctor. Sid is there. Simran tells Sid that she wants to remain alone for some minutes. All the doctors leave. Sid also leaves, but makes a sign to a nurse to stay back in the room. Simran is crying.
The doctor comes out after testing Simran. Abhi and others run to him, ask him. The doctor says that a BScan has to be done to confirm. But for the time being, it looks as though Dr. Simran has lost her eyesight. Abhi is still not ready to accept it, says but it isn't confirmed right. The doctor says yes. Abhi asks them to do those tests immediately. SAurabh and Abhi's father also get to know this news. They are shocked. Abhi is restless, does not know what to do. The doctor leaves. Abhi sits in a chair, cannot stand on his feet. Sia runs to nanu and hugs him. Abhi is sitting with his head down. SAurabh slowly walks to Abhi, sits near him. Saurabh hugs Abhi. Abhi has now started to cry. SAurabh tells him that Simran has been seeing only pain and suffering all thro' her life. Happiness never stays for a long time in her life. In this accident, Simran getting hurt is not big surprise, only if she was unhurt, would it be a big surprise, he says. SAurabh then tells Abhi that we now have to keep control. We now have to support her, be with her. Abhi nods his head, is crying. Saurabh tells him that the Simran who has never wanted support from others, will now have to be supported. We have to become her eyes. He consoles Abhi, who is now crying bitterly. Saurabh then tells Abhi to go in, as she needs him now. Abhi tries to go, but then sits down. He cries a lot. SAurabh then gets up, walks towards Simran's room to meet her. He nears the room, but does not go in, goes back. Abhi is crying over his mom's shoulders. All are crying.
Simran is in the room, when Sia, Urmila, Shaguna enter the room. Simran hears the door sound, calls for Abhi. Sia comes near her, calls mama. Simran recognises that it is Sia, hugs her. Both cry. Abhi's father is also there, he calls for Simran. Simran at once recognises him as papaji and asks for his hand. She asks him not to cry. Simran hears Shaguna's crying sound. She realises that Shaugna is there, asks Shaguna to come near her. Shaguna is in uncontrollable tears, she goes near her. Simran tells her that now that she cannot see, Shaguna cannot put much of ghee in the dhal she makes. Simran says that she can smeel it and say that Shaguna has put more ghee. Shaguna gives out a huge roar, falls to Simran's feet and cries. Simran continues to tell her that she is not going to be of any help in bringing up her kids. So Shaguna has to take care of everything. As Simran is telling this, Shaguna just cannot control her tears, she closes her mouth before she gives out a huge roar, runs out. Simran not knowing that she is gone, continues to talk. Sia stops her, tells her that aayi has left. Simran very innocently says that since she is not able to see, she does not know whether people are listening to her, people are near her or not. Abhi's father says we are all with you, we will never leave you alone. We all love you. Simran is in tears. Urmila also consoles Simran. Simran at once asks how Astha is. She tells them not to tell Astha about her state. Simran also tells that papa should not know. Abhi's father says we cannot hide this from him, he knows. Simran is shocked. She says i want to meet papa. Simran enquires in which room AStha is. Urmila says that she is in room number 32. She asks for her room number. Urmila says you are in 29. Simran counts, says to herself that it is just 3 rooms away. She says good. She then requests them to bring papa in.
Simran is finished having her food, with the help of a nurse, when Sia and SAurabh come in. Sia comes to the other side of the cot, while SAurabh stands on the other side. Sia tells Simran that nanu is here. Simran puts her hand on the wrong side of the bed, trying to feel her papa's hands. Saurabh is in tears, seeing this pathetic condition of Simran, takes her hands from the wrong side of the bed, holds it. Simran clings to him, cries. SAurabh tells her not to fear. These are testing times, God gives bad times and pain only to people who have the strength to cope with them. He consoles Simran,says you have all the strength my kid. Simran cries, says i am not worried for my blindness, but i am putting you, my kids and Abhi in deep sorrow.Just then, Sid comes there with a group of doctors, tells Saurabh that Simran has to be taken for BScan. Simran and Saurabh hug each other.
Abhi, Urmila, Sid are there with the doctor. The doctor has the reports in hand. He says that her cornea in both the eyes are damaged, so only a cornea transplant can help. Abhi says that he will give one eye of his. The doctor says that it is not possible, says we will search in eye banks. Abhi argues, says when a person can live with one kidney, why cant we live with one eye? The doctor says that is not the point. With one eye, normal vision is not possible. This is not usuall done. Abhi is sad. Urmila assures Abhi that they can ask all eye banks, they will definitely get a donor. Sid says i will do it. Abhi is depressed, says you keep triyng and goes.
Abhi is with Simran in the room. Abhi asks sorry bcos he could not come to see her from morning. He says he was with doctors. Simran says i understand, i will never complain that you were not here. I know that i am in such a state, Astha also needs you, it must be very difficult for you, Abhi. Abhi starts to cry. Simran gets tense, asks is Astha ok? She gets up. Abhi tells her that Astha is fine. Simran then tells Abhi not to leave Astha alone. Abhi says yes, all are with her, dont worry. Simran says some one or the other are always with me, so i am also not alone. But when i do not find you nearby, i have an empty feeling. Not that, i have never lived without you. But this darkness makes me lonely. She cries. Abhi holds her, tells her that this darkness is not going to be there always. He assures her that he will never leave her alone. This situation has to change ofr the better, he will change it. He tells her that i will be your eyes Simran. They both hug.
Tomorrow: Simran is in the lobby, she screams that AStha is not in room number 32. All are gathered there. Sid tells her that Astha has been shifted to second floor. Simran says i want to see Astha. SAurabh tells that it is late night, AStha will be asleep. Simran says she wants to meet her now.

SAurabh tries to explain to Simran that it is late in the night, AStha is also asleep. Simran argues, holds to her stand that she wants to meet AStha now. Abhi tries to take hold of the situation, asks Simran to sit down.
Simran sits down. She keeps asking for AStha. Abhi kneels down to the floor, sits near Simran who is seated on the chair. He holds her hands tight. He then tells her that she needs to know certain things. Simran is crying. She asks what? Where is AStha? Abhi says you need to know the truth. Simran again asks what is it? Sia tries to stop Abhi. Simran screams at Sia, to stop. Simran then tells Abhi that you are scaring me, Abhi, please talk. Where is AStha, she asks. Abhi holds Simran's hands tight, says in alow voice that AStha is no more. Simran sits still. All are crying. Abhi continues to say that our daughter is no more. Simran does not react. He tells her that in the accident, our daughter...and keeps quiet. Simran tells him to speak. Calls Abhi twice or thrice. Simran screams that she cant be dead. Abhi then somehow manages to get the courage , telsl her that AStha id dead.

I could not lie to her anymore. What could i do? Till when were we to hide this truth? Simran was going on asking for AStha, whereas AStha is not there. I could not say so much lies to her. He is upset. He asks Sorry to SAurabh.He begins to go, when Saurabh holds his hands. He tells Abhi that you were not wrong in telling her. She had to know this today or anyday. Instead of giving her a new wound after all her wounds have healed, it is better she knew it today. Abhi says we had no other option left. Sia cries. Abhi and Sia hug each other.

Simran says to all that she needs to be alone, so asks all to go out. All start to go. SAurabh stops them. He says nobody need go out. He starts to talk to Simran. SAurabh asks Simran why will you not talk with us? What mistake did we make? We lied about Astha, but we could not tell you that. We were worried about you. All along, Saurabh and Simran cry a lot. Very goos emoting by Simran, worth watching. Saurabh says that AStha left us. That was the truth. We did not want to lose you. Dont be angry at us. Listen to me. Simran is refusing to listen, but Saurabh holds her, makes herlisten. Saurabh tells that i was the person who told Abhi not to tell you anything. So if you want to be angry, be angry at me, not over others. SAurabh sasy that you have also lied on many occassions, depending on situations. Sometimes, you have lied for me, for that girl AStha, for Abhi. Simran cries bitterly. So why do you get angry at us? We did the smae. Abhi's mom also tries to tell the same thing. Simran screams, cries, says that Astha had just now come back to me. I had hardly talked to her, seen her. Why did hse have to go again? I wil never forgive myself for hiding things from Astha, as if i had told her earlier, we would have never seen this day. Simran cries her heart out. All are crying. Saurabh says that we are all pained. But we knew you will not be able to take this. We knew your reaction. You have to remember another thing. You are not the only person to have lost a daughter.

Sree_20
Simran starts to adjust to her new life!!
Simran gets up in the morning. Abhi is not in bed, has already got up. Simran puts her foot down on the floor, searches for her slippers with her legs. As she searches, she kicks one slipper under the sofa. She gets one slipper, but does not get another. She squats to the floor, searches with her hand, she actually goes the wrong direction from where her slippers are. So she gives it up. She gets up , is upset though.
Abhi is preparing tea. He arranges the tray, gets it to the room. He does not see Simran on the bed. He wonders what she is doing in the bathroom. Simran is in the bathroom, she searches with her hand for the
toothbrush. She gets hold of the brush, without any problem. Simran looks happy. As she puts her hand into the glass stand to take out the paste, she hits the glass stand, which falls to the ground. Abhi comes running hearing the noise. Simran is tensed, stands as though she is afraid and helpless. Abhi sees the glass pieces on the floor, just near Simran's legs. He tells her not to move, asks her where her slippers are. Simran tells him that she did not get it. Abhi tells her to stand at the same place, not move as there are lots of glass pieces and she will get hurt. Abhi goes to fetch her slippers. Simran stands tensed and helpless. Abhi gets the slippers, bends down, asks Simran to lift her legs, put the slippers. He helps her put it. She keeps saying sorry to him. Abhi tells her not to pity him. Simran says she is feeling bad that he has to do all this. Abhi says who will do then? Stop saying this. He then puts paste on her brush and asks her to brush, as he clears the glass pieces. He then clears
the place. Abhi then brings Simran to the room, makes her sit on the bed. He then gives her tea. Simran tells Abhi that they can have it in the lawn with papa. Abhi agrees. Shaguna comes running into the room, says sorry that she overslept. She feels sad that Abhi had to make tea. Abhi tells Shaguna to get the tray out to the lawn.
Simran is brought to the lawn by Shaguna. In the lawn, Saurabh and Sia are having tea. All make Simran sit. Simran looks ok. As she sits down, she asks whether ASthu ate breakfast. Then she realises, quickly changes whether Sia ate. Sia tells Simran that she has packed Parathas, she will have it on her way. Sia bids bye to all and leaves. Simran then asks Shaguna to give her the paper. Then she realises her state, gets upset. SAurabh tells Simran that he will read the news for her.He says that
nothing is great in today's paper. Then mentions some article in the hindi paper, is about to read it, when a car comes inside their compound.
Saurabh looks to see who it is. It is Rashmi. Saurabh exclaims that it is Rashmi. Simran gives out a smile, gets up, calls for Rashmi, asking her where she is. Rashmi is in all tears. Simran is desperate to meet her sister. She moves forward, pushing the tea tray from the table. A big sound and it falls down. Simran tells sorry. Rashmi comes running to her, hugs her, asks her what has happened? I cannot see you like this. Rashmi the hugs SAurabh. She tells that that she came as soon as she got this news. Pranay wanted to come too , but he was busy in a seminar. He will come soon though. Rashmi again hugs Simran and cries. Simran tries to console her.
Simran and Rashmi are in the room. Simran is holding AStha's photo and is crying. She is tellnig Rashmi that she came back and all was so nice. If she had to leave me, why did she ever come back? Simran cries, Rashmi too cries. When she was gone, i had a hope that she would one day return. Now i have lost that too. Abhi comes in, sees Simran crying, tries to change the topic, tells Simran that her sister has come. Now she has forgotten all other work. He asks Simran to get ready, asks her which saree does she want to wear. Simran tells Abhi that she cannot manage
sarees hereafter. Abhi tells her that till i am there, you need not worry. I will do everything for you. He then takes Simran to the bath room to have bath. Rashmi looks on.
Rashmi runs out of the room, comes to the hall and cries her heart out. Shaguna comes there, consoles her, tells her that is is painful to see bhayi like this. Ganpati bappa has always given bhayi pain. Shaguna telsl Rashmi that she atleast thanks Bappa for giving sense to saab, and that he has come back to her. Shaguna says that she cannot imagine Bhayi
without saab in this state. Abhi comes in then. He sits, tells Rashmi that she does not allow me to do anything. She argues, i can't even scold her. Rashmi tells Abhi that it is not easy for didi to adjust to this. It will take timr. Abhi says i know. He then gets up to go and help Simran. Rashmi tells him that she will go.
Simran has finished bathing, is in her night dress. She comes to the bed, is searching with her hands for the clothes, which Abhi has kept on the bed, but Simran is searching the wrong side. Rashmi enters. Simran thinks it is Abhi and tells him not to get angry over her. She thought she could manage alone, and she did it and she is fine. Rashmi says that it is
her. Simran then asks Rashmi where her clothes are. rashmi gives Simran the clothes. Simran says i will manage. Rashmi tells her that she will help her out. Simran has tears in her eyes, says she can do it. Rashmi tells her that she knows Simran will manage, but to this day, she remembers Simran plaiting Rashmi's hair as a kid. So Rashmi can do this for her
sister. Simran smiles. Rashmi takes her to change her clothes. Abhi is near the dining table. He is closing his eyes, trying to walk to the table. He then identifies the sharp edges of the table and puts a sponge over it, puta a tape over it. Shaguna asks him what he is doing. He tells her thathe is making sure that Simran does not get hurt with these sharp edges as she walks. When he is taping up, Simran is brought by Rashmi. Simran is again in hersaree. Abhi is really happy and pleasantly surprisedto see her. Rashmi tells jiju that how is hse looking? Abhi tells Simran that she is looking nice.
Simran holds Abhi's hands, smiles, sits for her lunch. She asks Shaguna where papa is. Shaguna tells them that he has had his food, and slept. Simran tells Shaguna to serve food for papa with them, he need not
have it alone.
Sid and Sia in the car. Sid is surprised with something that Sia has said. He asks her why did she do this? Sia says she had to do this, as this would help mama to recover from AStha's death. She will not have the guilt of losing AStha, not doing much for Astha. Sia asks Sid whether he is upset with this. Sid says no, i understand. Sid asks Sia whether this will
not be a tough decision for her. Sia says when after so many years, her identity changed and she accpeted her parents, this is very smal. Sid smiles.
All are still in the dining table. Abhi enquires about Pranay. Rashmi tells that he is very busy, even though she is with him, they stay together for 2-3 days a month. Rashmi then tells Simran that Pranay has a request to make. Simran asks what? Rashmi tells that Pranay wants Simran to start giving lectures to students in his college, as she was doing before. Simran is drinking soup, she pours little bit on her saree as she is drinking. Abhi wipes her saree. Simran tells Rashmi that she is not able to take care of
herself, what will she teach students? Abhi i sad, so are others. Sia comes from college. She sees her mausi , goes to her. Simran asks Shaguna to serve food for Sia.
After having food, all are seated in the hall. Abhi plays a soft ghazal in the Cd player. Simran is sitting, getting a head massage from shaguna.Rashmi
and Sia sit hugging each other. Abhi is reading a book. Sia then tells her mom and papa that she has decided something.She then goes near Simran. She tells Simran and Abhi that she had given an application for

On the last step, she trips, falls down, hurts her knees. She screams, Abhi heard this, comes running, helps Simran get up. He then makes her sit, asks her not to walk alone. He tells her that ther was no necessity for her to come here. Simran tells Abhi that when Astha was around, this room was so buzzing when she was there. She has left all her things as it is. I cannot take it, Simran says and cries. Abhi hugs her. Abhi tells her that she was right, that Astha can never leave them. Simran tells him that she sees her presence in this room even today. Abhi says i understand. Thru both hug. Simran is birsting out in tears. Abhi says you are right. Astha has not gone. She will always be with us. He consoels Simran, tells her that AStha is here. Simran cries a lot, so does Abhi.

Abhi tells Shekar that she was not for coming to the park, wanted to take a strollin her own garden. Shekar tells Simran that she should come, as he was getting bored without her. Abhi is all the way holding Simran's hands. Shekar tells Simran that we have just now crossed the water hedge. We are now towards the straight path. So you can walk by yourself, as you know this place. Abhi also encourages her to walk by herself. She asks whether the place is crowded, to which they both say no. Simran starts walking without holding anyone. Abhi and Shekar though walk along with her. Simran manages to walk few steps, feels confident. Shekar makes a sign to Abhi to stop walking with her. They both stop, Simran is walking. Suddenly a girl passes Simran's way, Simran trips, the lady starts to scold. Abhi and Shekar come running. Simran is upset.

Abhi is surprised that Simran realised that Sia is there even before him. Simran tells him that she smelt Sia's perfume fragrance. Abhi is surprised. Sia gives her 4 boxes. She tells Simran that if at all, papa gets busy, which will never happen, you can take your medicines by yourself. She then gives Simran a round box, says this has her after breakfast medicines, then a square box, which has after lunch medicines, a oval box which has after dinner medicines. Simran has tears in her eyes, tells Sia that she has been very thoughtful .Simran tells that now her hand have become her eyes. Her life has changed so much in a second. She cries. Abhi sits near her, consoles her. He tells her that we will change this too. He then tells her that he has a strange feeling that she will get her eyes back soon.
Hospital. Some of the patients are trying to get back their registration from the hospital due to the non availibility of Simran. Sid tries his best to talk to them, to give a chance to the other doctors. But they feel they cannot have the same trust on any other doctor other than Simran. So they leave. Sid is helpless.

She screams at Rashmi and leaves the room. Abhi also listens to this. Rashmi is crying. Abhi consoles Rashmi, goes to the room to talk to Simran. Abhi tells Simran that she should not have tlaked like that to Rashmi. Afterall, she loves her. She camme running to see you, to help you. Simran screams, says i can manage myself. Why do i feel that all are standing in a line to help me? Why are you all pitying me? I do not need it. Leave me alone. Let me fall, and learn.

Abhi gets up from bed. He deos not find Simran near him. He sees in the bathroom, but she is not there. He goes out, where Saurabh, Sia and Rashmi are there. He tells them. All search for Simran. Simran is not there anywhere. Abhi gets tensed. He sees a letter lying on the dining table. He reads it. It says i am leaving you all, going away, as i cannot see you all suffering with me. If i am not here, your life will go smooth. I do not want to be a burden on you all. I have accepted the truth, i know i am useless. Abhi is shocked, sits on the chair, stunned. He cries, so do others.

Update 21st October 2005
RikniK
Dr. Sakshi appears, gets to know about Simran!!!
Sid is at home with Urmila when he receives a call from Sia who tells him that Simran is missing and that she and Abhi are going to the police station. Urmila and Sid are shocked and Sid tells Sia that he will meet her at the police station. He says that he knows Simran Aunty and she is not a person who would leave all of them.
Abhi and Sia are driving towards the police station and Abhi says that he should not have left Simran alone. He was asleep when she left the house. He does not even know where to look for her. Sia tries to console him and says that she will definitely come back. God will protect her and she will be back.
Abhi and Sia lodge a complaint at the police station and show a photograph of Simran and the last letter that she wrote before she left home and explain her condition to the Inspector in charge and say that presently her physical state is such that she could not have gone too far. The Inspector tells Abhi that he will alert all the nearby police stations and ask them to look for her. Just then Sid comes to the police station and tells the Inspector that he would like to accompany them in their hunt for Simran and explains his relation to her. The Inspector declines his offer and says that the police will look for her and in the meantime they too should not stop looking for her. Abhi asks the Inspector to return Simran's letter as he would like to keep it with him.
At home, Saurabh is quite agitated at Simran's leaving house. He keeps talking to no one in particular and says why did she think of herself as a burden. Perhaps someone at home has unknowingly said something which has upset her and prompted her to take such a drastic step. Rashmi says that Simran has become very sensitive else she is not one who would leave on the contrary she is a support for all of them and it is most unlike Simran to walk away from the family. Just then Shaguna returns from out after looking for Simran and says that she is afraid that Simran may try to commit suicide. Saurabh reprimands her for thinking such thoughts. He says that he is just afraid that Simran may hurt herself when she is out all by herself. Even when she is at home with all of them, she is forever getting hurt – hopes that all is well with his daughter.
In the meantime, Abhi and Sid are driving around looking for Simran and stop to ask some people if they have seen her by showing her photograph. Saurabh calls Abhi and asks if they have any news of Simran and to keep him posted.
Simran is at the park bridge and is bruised from a fall. Just then Shekhar sees her and asks her where is Abhi and how did she come there all by herself. He notices the bruise marks and realises that she has had a fall and is too close to the edge of the bridge. He immediately realises that something is amiss and tells her to stay there and calls Abhi and asks him how did he leave her alone. Abhi asks him if Simran is alright and that he will come there. Shekhar asks him to go home and he will take Simran home himself. Shekhar talks to Simran and asks her why did she leave. Simran tells him that she wanted to be by herself and so she took a cab and came here to think. No one leaves her alone at home and she is completely surrounded. She wanted peace and wanted to be with herself. Shekhar takes her home.
Simran is at home and Shaguna is attending to her bruises when Abhi and Sid come there. Abhi is livid with Simran and shouts at her. Saurabh tries to control the situation and asks Shaguna to take Simran inside so that she can get some rest. Saurabh tells everyone that she is under a lot of stress due to her current situation and she has not said a word since Shekhar brought her home. Abhi goes into the bedroom to be with Simran. He shouts at her and tells her that she was never weak, then how come she took such a drastic step. Simran tells him that it is only due to her weakness that she was unable to end her life. She thought of Abhi and her father and every turmoil that she has been through in life. But how many more exams and trials will she have to go through. By losing her eyesight and by becoming dependent on everyone else she feels as though she has lost her identity her entire "Astitva" is a nought. She cannot bear this colourless existence. Abhi consoles her and tells her that nothing is over. Everything will go on as usual and be the same. The hospital which is her dream will be kept alive. She should not lose hope but instead she should believe in miracles and keep the faith.
At the hospital, one lady inquires about Simran and is told that she is on leave for 2 months. The lady goes to Simran's house and on the way stops to buy a bunch of yellow roses for her. At Simran's house, she introduces herself as Dr. Saakshi Joshi and asks her if she recognizes her. She reminds her that Simran had once told her that she never forgets a face, then how come she is unable to recognize her. Abhi tells Saakshi that Simran is unbale to see anymore, but if she could, she would have definitely recognised her. Saakshi is shocked to know that Simran has lost her sight.
Update 24th October 2005

Sakshi offered job by Simran in Astha Nursing Home, Sakshi rejects the offer!!
Simran tells Saakshi that she is unable to recognise her voice. Saakshi is stupified to find Simran in her present situation and says that she was unaware of her condition and asks her how and when did she lose her eyes. Abhi replies and tells her that it was only very recently/ Saakshi tries to jog Simran's memory and tells her that she had met her seven years ago in Bangalore when Simran had come there for a seminar. Before Saakshi can go any further, Simran interrupts her and tells her that she remembers her very well. She was the student who sat in the first row and was full of questions at the seminar and that she had big eyes. She asks her whether she is practicing in Bangalore. Saakshi tells her that she is presently in Chicago, USA and starts crying saying that she cannot believe that Simarn has lost her eyes. Simran asks her whether her dreams were fulfilled. Saakshi ignores the question and tells Simran that she should be going as she is in Bombay only for two days and if time permits, she will come and see her again before she leaves and if there is anything that she can do for her, to please let her know. She gives the hotel card with the room number and her mobile number on it to Abhi and leaves.
In the cab, Saakshi remembers the time when Simran had gone to Bangalore for the seminar seven years ago, when she herself was a student and totally in awe of her and how she had asked her for her autograph. She also remembers the time two years later when she herself was visiting Bombay for a friend's wedding and had spotted Simran in a caf by herself and she had gone to talk to her. At that time, she tried to remind Simran of her seminar in Bangalore. Simran had asked Saakshi to join her as she was waiting for another doctor to join her who was late. Simran had inquired about her plans. Saakshi had excitedly told her that her career took precedence over marriage and she was interested in practicing in the village to help the labour class to ensure that they are given good medical facilities. Simran was quite impressed with her and had advised her that if at any time in her life a good proposal came along, she should not brush it aside else she could lose out on a good relationship and if at anytime she is able to practice in the village, she would be fulfilling Simran's own incomplete dream. Saakshi was quite impressed with Simran and had asked her whether Simran will remember her. Simran tells her that once she has seen somebody she never forgets their face.
At home, Saurabh, Abhi and Rashmi are chatting when Simran comes there. They are discussing Pranay's plans of opening a clinic in Australia and how Rashmi had refused to join him there. Simran tells her to go and be by Pranay's side. Rashmi, at Simran's insistence agrees to go.
Saakshi is at the hotel with her husband, Nakul when Nakul tells her to wear something gorgeous at the party as he wants his friends to envy them. Saakshi asks to be excused as it will be typical corporate party and she is not in a frame of mind to go to a party. Nakul is quite angry and rude with Saaskhi and tells her that she will have to attend the party as it has been thrown in their honor. He rambles on and on disgustedly about the state of affairs in India as compared to USA. Saakshi tells him that he should atleast ask her why she does not feel like attending the party and how her meeting with Simran went earlier. She then tells him that Simran had lost her eyes in a bomb blast by some terrorists which only makes Nakul hate India more. Saaskhi and Nakul end up fighting and Nakul leaves in a huff.
Urmila and Sid call Simran at home and ask her whether she has thought about which doctor they will appoint at the hospital even for a short time till the hospital is back on track. Whilst talking to them on the phone Simran feels that Saakshi would be a good choice to take charge in her absence.
Simran goes with Abhi to see Saakshi at the hotel and Simran tells Saakshi that she would like her to head the gynaecology department at her hospital, even if it be for a few months. Simran tells her that she feels and is confident that only Saakshi is capable of handling this post. Saakshi is surprised and elated at this offer but tells Simran that she is leaving for USA in two days but since it is for a few months she will discuss it with her husband and asks Simran when would she have to start. Simran is excited and says from the next day itself!
Saakshi discusses Simran's offer with her husband but the two of them end up fighting and Nakul gives Saakshi an ultimatum saying that it is either the job offer or their marriage!
At the hospital the next day all are very excited and preparing for Saakshi to take charge assuming that Saakshi would have taken up Simran's offer. Just then Saakshi comes there and tells Simran that she will not be able to take up the responsibility. Simran is shocked and asks her why. Saakshi tells her that she is unbale to go into all of that but she is going back to USA that night itself. Simran is crestfallen.
Update 25th October 2005

Sakshi attends to an emergency, changes mind, joins Simran's hospital!!!
Sakshi has tears in her eyes, as she says sorry to Simran. She tells Simran that she knows she has disappointed her. Urmila asks but you decided to join us yesterday, now what happened? Sakshi tells that she was carried away when Dr. Simran offered her the post. But then, she found it to be not practical. She says that my husband is based in USA, so i being here is not good. Sid tells her that this will be only for few months, a temporary arrangement. Saksha tells that to take up one responsibility, she cannot put away another. Urmila tells her that we had done all the arrangements. Sia tells Sakshi that you disappointed mama. Urmila pleads to Sakshi. Sia also tries to explain to Sakshi , but Simran stops her. Simran who is now looking pale, tells all that it is afterall Sakshi's decision, we cannot force her. Simran tells Urmila to inform the staff. Simran then calls Sakshi to join her for coffee. Sakshi is now trying her best to hold on to her tears. Sakshi tells Simran that she is getting late, so has to leave. Simran wishes her best of luck. Sakshi is about to leave, when a nurse comes running to Simran. She tells them that a woman who had come to take back her registration ,tripped and fell. She is now in labour. Simran and Urmila get tensed. Simran asks Urmila to call Dr. Yasmin to come immediately. Urmila calls, but the doctor is out of town. The nurse tells them that the lady wants to go to another hospital. Sakshi tells Simran that she will have a look, offers to help. Simran does not say anything, but Sakshi takes the initiative, leaves with the nurse to see the patient.
Sakshi is examining the patient. The woman is in labour, is screaming. Her mom is there with her, her mom asks them to get an ambulance, so that they can go out to see another dcotor. Sakshi tells her that this is not possible and that she can handle it. Simran with the help of Urmila comes in. The mom keeps shouting that she wants to go to a better doctor. The lady in pain pleads to her mom to take her to another hospital. Simran stops them, asks them not to panic. In the meantime, Sakshi asks for a stretcher, tells Simran that she has dilated, is in pains. She tells Simran that she will try her best to have a normal delivery, but if needed, she will operate. Saying this, Sakshi leaves with the patient. The mom keeps screaming to Simran. Simran tells her that she has confidence in me, in the same way, she needs to place confidence in her staff and doctors as they are also competent. Simran says that the very thought of Sakshi to try for a normal delivery speaks volumes of her confidence.
Inisde the OT, Sakshi gets ready, wears the operation robe. She is all set to attend the patient. Outside the OT, the husband and the lady's mom see Simran coming. The husband asksSimran what is happening? Simran says that she will first try for a normal delivery. They both are against it, as the lady is in pain. Simran tells them that since it is her first delivery, ASha is tensed. Simran tells them that all patients ask for a operation bcos they cannot resist the pain .She asks them to be patient.
Sia and Sid are in the lobby. Both are tensed. Sia is telling that mama chose the right person, but it is sad that she is not agreeing. Sid is pissed off with the way Sakshi, after all approval, calmly came and said that she cannot. He then advises the ward boy to take off Sakshi's nameplate. Sia asks him, why so early? We will wait. Sid says that we should not be confusing the patients with this nameplate, asSakshi is not joining.
Urmila and Simran are talking. Urmila is upset at the strange behaviour of the lady's relatives, wanted an operation when there was a possibility of normal delivery. Simran is upset, says that she is feeling very helpless. Urmila asks her to be calm, as Sakshi has handled the situation well. Simran says but she has refused. Urmila syas we have many options open. Simran starts crying. She tells that she had a vision when she started this hospital, today she is sensing that it is ending. Simran says that she never dreamt that she will be in such a condition where she will feel so helpless. Urmila tells her that things do happen suddenly. She tells Simran that 20 years back, you tried your best to save your marriage with Abhi. But you failed. Then you lost your 2 year old Astha. But today, you have both Abhi and Astha, as Sia with you. I too never dreamt of meeting my son again. But it happened. We can explain it in one word Destiny. Simran says that we hide our helplessness behing this one word Destiny. Urmila is upset. She then asks Urmila to call OT and find out. Urmila dials the extension, gives the phone to Simran. Simran asks, then keeps the pohne down. She tells Urmila that Sakshi has decided to operate. They both head towards the OT.
Nakul is desperately trying to call Sakshi, but her phone is switched off. He says to himself that she might have gone to say no, but sat there to tell her katha, that she is not happy, her dreams are shattered in US etc etc. He is wild.
SAkshi comes out of the OT. She goes to the husband and the lady's mom and tells them that she had a son, thelady is fine too. Simran and Urmila are seated there, Sakshi directly goes to Simran, kneels down, holds her hands, tells her that both mother and kid are extremly fine.Simran has a broad smile on her face and thanks Sakshi. SAkshi is happy too. She goes in to change.
As Skashi is changing, she gets a call from Nakul. Sakshi tells Nakul that she was about to call. He screams at her, asking where are you? Sakshi tells that she is with Dr. Simran. He asks whether she joined in a high voice. She says i declined the offer. Nakul asks so why so long? Sakshi tells him that there was an emergency, so she offered to help the woman in labor. Nakul asks why, were there no other doctors? Sakshi says i was to join today, so there were no other doctors. Nakul gets wild, tells her that they have used her. Sakshi tells him that she volunteered to help, they did not ask for it. SAkshi tells Nakul that in this life-death situation too, he was worrid about the lunch. SAkshi tells that he is disgusting and keeps the phone.
Sakshi comes out. The mom and husband of the patient thank her, tell her that they will have their next kid's delivery with her. Sakshi asks why , cant you stop with one? Asha was telling me that she now needs to take care of the saree business,so one kid is enough. The husband asks how do you know this? SAkshi tells him that she also knows that he likes dal with tadka. Sakshi tells him that she was talking to her as she wanted her to relax. Simran is happy.
Simran's cabin. Simran, Urmila, Sid, Sia and Sakshi are there. Simran is thanking Sakshi for the timely help. All say that this is a loss that she will not be here. Sakshi says that it is a bigger loss for her, as it was her dream to work in India. She with tears in her eyes, tells all that the hospital is very nice, with competent staff and doctors. She likes it. Simran asks her then why go? SAkshi says with a heavy heart, that she has to. Sakshi says that she is happy that her dream of working in India got fulfilled, atleast for few hours. Simran then gives her a gift, a big gift wrapped gift. Sakshi takes it, kisses Simran ,then Urmila, thanks Sia and Sid and leaves. Simran is sad.
Nakul is waiting for SAkshi. AS she comes in, he says here comes the Masiah, the saviour. He asks her to pack the bags as it is late. Sakshi ists down. She then tells him that she is not coming with him. He gets wild. He throws the paper at her. She asks him not to get violent. She tells him that Dr. Simran needs her ,she needs to help her patients. SAkshi and Nakul argue over it. Nakul tells her that he cannot live in India. SAkshi says but i am not happy working there. Nakul says what's wrong, you earn in dollars in the hospital there. SAkshi says i do nt work for money, i want satisfaction, i am not happy with my job there. I am very much qualified, but i cannot do anything for my people. I feel so bad. She is in tears. Nakul calls her selfish. Sakshi says i am not selfish, you are. You never thought about my career, you only think about yours. That is why i managed to adjust with you in US for the past 6 years. Nakul asks her what is more important, staying with husband or work. Sakshi says that husband and wife have to support each other, understand each other. Nakul tells hre not to talk of woman's rights. He then asks her why she married him. He tghen gets calm, sits, holds her hands, tells her softly to come with him. He cannot live here, people are so laid-back, he cannot work here. He asks her to get up, but she says a firm No. Nakul then gets up ,tells her sternly to choose between work and husband now. SAkshi remains silent. Nakul starts to pack. He then asks her whether she is coming. She again says no. He then throws her ticket at her, leaves. SAkshi is in tears.
