Ovi thanks the doctor and leaves her cabin.
Her friend comes running and hugs her, squealing, HI OVI! How are you?
Ovi smiles, Im good! How are u? You look very happy!
The friend says, Yes! Im very happy! U know, Nurse just gave me wonderful news! Actually in last few days, the baby has progressed very well! And very soon u can take her home with you!
Ovi looks ecstatic, she thanks them, If you two werent here, I dont know how I would take care of the baby! I know that saying thank u is not enough, but still...
The Nurse says, That was my duty, Ma'am! Excuse me, I have to go!
Ovi looks tearful, her friend asks, Ovi, whats wrong with you? You heard such good news, u still look upset? Arent u happy? You always wanted to take ur baby home, isnt it?
Ovi says, Yes, Shikha, believe me Im very happy, what else would I want? My baby completes me! But Shikha, there is a big problem, I dont know what to do...
Shikha asks, What problem?
Ovi says, Since I went to India, there was always some problem or other at home, so I had to leave my baby here alone and stay back in India! Now I wont leave my baby at all! I will somehow convince Ayi that I cant go to Sachu Dada's wedding! But now theres even a bigger problem! Ayi is coming to Canada with baba, for his treatment! I dont know what to do, until now Ive hidden the baby truth from her, what will I tell her later? Im having too much tension! How will I manage all this?
Shikha consoles her, Dont worry, Ovi! We will find some solution, okay? Anyways, leave all this! Come on, wont u meet ur daughter?
Shikha and Ovi go and watch the baby sleeping in an incubator in ICU...she seems to be a premature baby! Ovi is crying emotionally to see her baby girl!
The Canadian Nurse also joins them, she says, Ms Ovi, all this while we have been taking care of ur baby! Dont worry!
Shikha tells her, Ovi, very soon u will take ur daughter home with you! But before that u have to take certain precautions! First u must disinfect ur house completely! As u know, premature babies are very sensitive!
Ovi cries, I will take complete care of my baby! But both of u have to promise me, that u will never tell anyone that this is my daughter! My baby!
Ovi blows a kiss emotionally.

Archu smiles and nods. Savita says, I know Archu, u have tensions, right? Leave all the tensions to me, so many years of friendship between DK Sir and Manav, do u think I will let it break so easily?
Archu looks somber, I dont think Manav will listen to anyone now! Hes being stubborn, wont listen to anyone!
Savita says, That Rushali shd suffer, she created differences in Manav and DK's friendship! But we are not amateur players! Would I let this friendship break just like that? We have to give them the reassurance that we are an important part of each other's families!

Archu looks all excited, Ayi, this is her first birthday! We shd do something special for her! I had thought before that on Pari's 1st birthday, we will do a Havan (Puja) at our house for her!
Savita claps her hands, Yes, this will be good! That will bring happiness to the house, everyone will come together and the evil eye cast on this family will be gone!
Teju says, And after the Havan, a little party! (she starts dancing)
Savita pinches Teju, You only want an excuse to dance!

Khushboo tries to soothe Pari, Purvi says, Let me call Ayi and ask her if she knows...Look Pari, Im calling Ajji...
She suddenly stops, she remembers Arjun telling her to respect his Dad, not to side with Manav Baba without reason!
Purvi puts down her mobile but it rings right then! She sees its Archu's call and picks it up!
Archu says, Hello Purvi, Im calling u since when, why werent you picking up? And why is Pari crying so much? (in the background)
Purvi says, Ayi, I dont know why shes crying, I gave her milk, but shes been crying for a long time!
Archu says, she must have gas, do something, give her Ajwain water, she will feel better!
Purvi tells Khushboo to make Ajwain water for Pari...Khushboo takes Pari and leaves.

How do u like these ideas? And yes, please talk to DK Sir and Arjun abt this too! Or do u want me to talk to them? Are u listening to what Im saying?
Purvi looks worried and upset. She manages to say Yes!
Archu says, I know Purvi, I can understand what ur going thru...u must be thinking how will all this be possible after all that happened? But we will make this possible, Purvi! Its our Pari's first birthday! We will make it special naa? Our relationship is not so weak, that it will break because of all this! These are small matter and u dont worry abt DK Sir!

Next scene: Archana outside Arjun's office building
Arjun comes out, sees her and asks: Ayi, ur here?
Archu looks stern, Yes Arjun, I had to come here! Just today I found out that u think like this! Arjun, u told Purvi not to meet any of us, right? You dont want her to meet me, or Manav or her family, right? No use being embarassed now! Whatever u did is absolutely right!
Arjun looks ashamed, No Ayi, its not like that! I was upset abt Dad's tension at that time, and I was very angry so I said some things in anger to her...
Archu interrupts, You said that in anger? What did u say in anger? Did u even think what u were saying to Purvi? Arjun, such moments come in every person's life! These moments test a person and these moments decide how much wisdom a person has! Arjun, whatever Manav did yesterday was because of his illness, otherwise I know my Manav is not so unwise to do such a thing! Manav is ill, but Arjun, you? You are intelligent! You could have talked to Purvi, instead of fighting with her u could have tried to understand what her problem was...
Arjun tries to talk, Archu says, One second, Arjun! Just as u are concerned abt ur Dad, Purvi is also worried abt her Baba! she loves her family, Arjun! If she cannot share her problems with her husband, whom will she share them with? If she knew that u would react like that to her problems, then she would never have shared them with you! When Purvi told me u had forbidden her from talking to any of us, I was very hurt! But I didnt tell her anything, because I know shes doing this to honor her husband's words! If u dont want Purvi to meet us, then she wont! she wont come to see us, she wont think abt us! You are her husband, so she will only listen to you! But just remember one thing Arjun, put urself in Purvi's place, what ur telling Purvi to do today, tomorrow if Purvi tells u to do the same, can u do it? Its very difficult, Arjun! Shall I tell u something, Im very proud of my daughter, that shes sacrificing her own happiness for the sake of her husband's family! But perhaps ur forgetting something? Remember u had promised me that u will always keep her happy! But perhaps u forgot ur promise! Please keep her happy if possible!
Archu turns to leave, Arjun calls her from behind, hes almost crying! He says, Ayi, Im really sorry! I didnt want to hurt anyone! Ayi please forgive me, I am ur son after all...Im...
Archu doesnt listen, she marches off to her car, Arjun looks on with regret!

Archu falters, Manav, Ive been trying to tell u something since morning, But I dont know I...
Manav encourages her to tell him...she tells him, Manav, tomorrow its Pari's birthday! First birthday! And I wanted to have a Havan in our home!

Arjun comes back from work, Purvi is sitting on her bed, looking sad, flipping a magazine without looking at it!
Arjun observes her, goes towards her, she sees him and wipes her tears, she says, Arjun ur home! I will bring water for you!
She gets up from bed and goes to leave the room! He grabs her hand from behind! She turns in surprise, Arjun..?
Arjun holds her hands in his and says, Purvi, why do u neglect ur own happiness for the sake of mine?
Purvi looks puzzled: What do u want to say?
Arjun says, Purvi, our relationship was never like this, previously if we ever fought, then u would explain it to me, make me realize I was wrong! You could have talked to me, I would have apologized to u and everything would have been fine! I behaved so badly with you and you didnt try to convince me? Didnt make me feel how hurt u were at my behavior? And u even agreed to my words, I said u cannot see ur family, or talk to them and u stopped talking to them? Have u gone mad?
Purvi looks down, Arjun holds her shoulders and says, Purvi, Im really sorry! I was angry and God knows what I said...but why did u agree to my words? You just stopped talking to ur Ayi?
Purvi cries, Because I didnt want to hurt you! Arjun, whatever is happening between Dad and Baba, a lot of people have been hurt, a lot of relations broke off! I didnt want our relations to sour too..
Arjun shushes her, he holds her face, Nothing will happen to our relationship, hmm? Im sorry!
He takes out his mobile and gives it to Purvi...I had told u not to talk to Ayi, now Im telling u to talk to her! Talk right now!
Arjun kisses her forehead! Purvi smiles through her tears! They smile at each other!
