Sorry for being this late. Farheen might have been busy and hence could not help me and I am severely jet lagged. Please bear with me for a few days.
Sharmas are having food at a langar. Indu and Indira are sitting such that neither can see each other. Indira is in deep thoughts of how she is going to manage her family. Rishi is serving food in the same langar. Indira gets up and asks a pregnant woman to take her place instead and starts serving in langar. Rishi while serving food catches Indu and asks her what she is doing there and why is she not in school. She asks him why he is not in court. Rishi is speechless. Indu spots Indira and both of them run away from the place.
Some goons come to the langar and tell the organizer that he is not allowed to do this. Organizer even shows them a consent letter from Municipality. Indira budges in and tells them that she will take them to police station. The goons tell her that they are cops and so there is no use going to police station. Indira tells them that it does not matter that they are cops and tells them a lot of IPC sections that they could be charged for. The goons mock at her and Rishi comes in and says some witty (sounded funny? you wish 🤪) things and scares them away. Sardar ji (the organizer) thanks them.
On their way back , She is wearing Rishi's lawyer band. Indira asks him what he was doing there. Rishi questions her back and says that to question a lawyer she herself has to be a lawyer. . They go back home where Seher is telling Munna that Indu was sent back home . Indira hears this and asks Seher more about it but before Seher could answer her, Indu comes and tells her that it wasn't her who was asked to leave but the other two girls who were caught cheating by Indu. Indira asks her why she was late then. Indu says that she had an extra class. Indira asks Seher why she wasn't attending it. Indu says no one is there to explain the importance of such things to Indu. Indira scolds Munna and Sunaina for this. She goes inside where Kutumb questions her about the lawyer band and says that it would have been so great if Indira was a lawyer, they wouldn't be living in such misery then. Indira says that being a lawyer was her passion but for them it is just for money and she could not become one because Inder went away. She tells her off. Kutumb leaves and Indira pledges that she won't let any such thing happen to her daughter.
Indu is nervously pacing around the room when Rishi comes in asks her why was she at the langar and what is the truth . She tells him everything that happened in school and adds that it was all because of the long queue of Mommies , first Shweta, then Zara and then they had to work so hard to get Indira back finally. She fakes tears.. Rishi wipes them off and says he will talk to her principal. indu says she will manage that but he should not tell Indira about it.
