"ma...bauji...this is Meera..." says Tanu to her parents as she brought Roli home. Tanu was really touched with Roli's situation and couldn't send her to streets. She was a girl; that too ill...She didn't feel to let her go on her own likes. Roli was so hesitant to go with them and even protested about the same. But Tanu managed to convince her with her kind words and bring her home. Now everyone in her home is confused except Ahaana to whom she had disclosed everything. Tanu's parents looks at Roli with a confused yet kind gaze while the look on the faces of Bani, Tanu's chichi and her daughters are really unkind.
"But beta...who is it? Is it your friend?" asks Tanu's mom as she watches Roli quietly. A girl probably in early twenties looking as worn out as a withered flower. She could see that she was married. "no ma...Actually I met her at Gurudwara today..." tanu begins and says all the happenings to her parents as Roli watches over.
Tanu's Mom is really touched by hearing the story of the girl. What must have happened to her? Why she isn't disclosing anything to them and if she doesn't have anyone else, she would at least have her husband. She's wearing all the symbols of marriage after all. Tehn where he is? Wht might have happened which made her so alone? Seeing her it's pretty sure that she belongs to some good family and got a spotless character. She couldn't imagine the situation wherein a girl; all alone have to see through her life...She imagines her daughters tanu and Ahaana in her position and she isn't able to bear it. She comes near Roli and kindly holds her hand. Roli looks her up with teary eyes. Never in her life, had she thought she will have to go through such a situation. She had everything. Her family, her parents, relatives, and above all her Siddhantji...her husband. But now she's left with nothing. Destiny has snatched them all from her. "Meera beta...we don't know who you're...We don't know what happened with you..but can see this...that you're a good girl and something had made you so helpless..You need not tell us that if you're not interested. ..We won't ask you...You'll stay in this home, like our daughter..." she ensures. Tears spill over Roli's eyes as she remembers her home. Tanu's mom slowly wipes the tears off her eyes. But the net problem is waiting. Bani and her daughters. "jiji...How can you do this? Like...we don't know her...How will we make her stay in our home? Don't even know which type of a girl she is? She have mangalsutra and sindoor with her, then where is her husband? It's evident that he's not dead...if she's roaming around leaving him, what is her character status? Just think jiji..." she remarks heartlessly. Everyone is shocked to hear those vindictive words and Roli is so much hurt. If Siddhantji hears this, he would roar at her, hold her close and say "She's my wife...Siddhant Bharadwaj's wife...Dare not to point your finger at her...", she thinks. But the next moment she rethinks, where he cares about me? If he did, will he say yes for a marriage just like that? That too, even before my memories fade away? Tears makes her eyes glassy as she puts her head straight. "it's okay...I'm leaving...Not because what you said is right aunty but because I don't what to create problems in the life of a girl who helped me a lot...thank you so much tanusree...thank you aunty..Let me leave..." she says as she prepares to leave. "wait Beta..." Roli is stopped by a voice and Bani is startled to notice that it's Veeru, tanu's father. "Beta...I'm sorry for whatever she said...seriously...she didn't mean it..." he says as he glares at bani. Tanu's mother too comes near Roli and holds her hand. "beta...We told na...we trust you...We don't want to know what happened between you and your husband...But now, if you leave, it will really hurt us...We will never be able to forgive ourselves..." says her. "But Aunty..." protests Roli. "Call me Ma...Please beta...stay back..." she says. " Haan Meera...please...requests tanu.Roli is touched by their concern. With tearful eyes, she nods a yes. "Very good, Ahaana...come..Take your new Di in and show her a room to stay...go.." says veeru. Ahaana comes forward holds Roli's hands and asks "shall we go Di?' Roli nods yes. She feels happy. After all, it's not true that kindness died completely in the world...It's alive through some people like them. Roli and Ahaana makes their way in when tanu thanks her parents for accepting her decision. Meanwhile bani looks at her daughter and says "I wonder if this is a an orphanage...Anyone came, hai, hello, welcome..what a people..." "Mamma...keep quiet...Don't forget that we are also guests here..." says Neha. This shuts ban'is mouth and the she goes in with a sulky face.
Back in U.S. Sid is surprised to see Rishi and Manpreet at his doorstep. He lives next doors to them after all. "You both..." Sid begins but the guys breaks in not letting him talk. "areyy..." Sid exclaims. "Sid Bhaii...get ready...we'll go to the club..." Says Manpreet. Now Sid gets it. These guys wants him to accompany to their night parties. Little does they know that he's not interested in those lights and noise. "no...I'm not coming...got to see some files..." he declines their offering. Rishi has already settled on the couch and switching among the channels. He hears Sid's reply and hits his own head with the remote. "Oh Sid!!!How boring you're...Can you enjoy anything properly?" he questions. Sid goes back to his past with this.
Roli says to Simar on the phone during their Mumbai trip "Didi...there are people who become old before the right time na...Siddhantji is one among them...food, drinks, games..He can't enjoy anything properly..." Those days they never knew that they would fall so deeply in love with each other. Her chik chik pik pik was something really special about the relationship.
Sid smiles remembering their sweet moments together. Rishi and Manpreet spots this. "Whoa...first time in history a man is laughing after hearing that he's boring..." says Rishi. "Someone had said this to me before you Rishi..." says Sid dreamily. "Who??? Let me know who that wise person is?" asks Rishi. Sid is startled by this question. "ummm...My best friend..." He says. "oh...then he's your best friend indeed...had understood you pretty well..." comments Rishi. No one has understood Siddhant like Roli, Rishi...Sid says in his mind. "Again in lost in thoughts...just join us Sid bhai..." says Manpreet. "no yaar...No mind for all these...And what will I do coming there...neither do I drink or dance..Then what is the use?" asks Sid. "areeyyy Buddhu...Dancing and drinking comes next...our main motive is...Looking for those hot girls..." says Rishi as he does a high five with Manpreet. "Get up...get up bro..." says Sid with a smile. "See...he got it!!Come on bro..." says Rishi only to be kicked by Sid in his back playfully. "Girls!!! I'll kick you to death...Go...both of you...do whatever you guys need...Don't call me..." says Sid. "Oh...it is so...come on Manpreet...boring idiot..." says Rishi in little anger. Sid smiles because he knows it's not gonna be a problem in their friendship. "very bad Bhaii..." says Manpreet as he leaves with Rishi. Sid smiles and waves bye at them. He closes his door only to come back to the loneliness and sadness.
