Mehra's Mansion -- 9:05 pm

After sometime, the guests start leaving the mansion, because there is no sign of Abhi's whereabouts from past two hours...

Tanu dejected, starts throwing all the things, whereas Aaliya tries to control her...She takes Tanu into the room.

City Hospital - 9:08 pm

"Di woh,darasal..."(Actually...that, Di...)

"Woh kya bataayegi di...main bataata hoon aap sabko"...(I will tell the truth to everyone...what would she tell you all !?)

Purab is shocked to see Pragya...who was completely changed, in these 3 years...He feels senti..

"Kaisi hai aap Pragya di?" (How are you Pragya Di?)

Pragya swiftly glances at Bulbul and turns to Purab, in a surprise..

"Purab?"

"Haan... Bulbul... Main bataaonga sab kuch..."(Yes Bulbul...I would be revealing everything)

All are shocked to listen that...Pragya confused again looks at Bulbul for an explanation, but Purab interrupts continuing his words...

"Aapko nahi jaana chahiye tha, Pragya di...Sab kuch bohut ba..."(You should not have gone Pragya Di...Everything here has become a h..el..l...)

Pragya is little bit serious...She recollects all the past happenings.She feels uncomfortable.Bulbul, understanding the situation, interrupts him and says---

"Tum kehna kya chahte ho Purab? Unn logon ne jo Di ke saath kiya...uske baad bhi?"(What do you mean Purab?You are saying this even after knowing that what all happened in the past with my sister?)

Pragya signals Bulbul to stop and with a calm voice(suppressing her emotions and feelings)asks Purab--

"Purab, nahi tum yeh magar kaise..."(Purab,but how and why? And what you want to say?)

"Di, aapke jaane ke baad hum logon ki zindagi ek zindagi nahi rahi hai...Aap ki iss gair moujudgi main bohut kuch badal gaya hai, di...Barbaad ho gaya hai...aur Abh...i.."(Pragya Di, aftermath your departure from our lives...everything has changed...our lives had no meaning...everything is destroyed...and Abh..i..)

As soon as Pragya listens the word Abhi,her heart skips a beat...all mixed emotions start coming into her mind...but she controls them and reminds herself that she had left behind everything...and that now she should not get AFFECTED...But why is she getting effected?She was very cofused yet again...it has been happening to her from the past 3 years and inspite of her massive trials...she was not able to deviate herself from these things...

Pretending to be unaffected, with a stern voice, she says--

"Mujhe ab inn baton se na toh koi matlab hai na koi talluk.Aur inn teen saalon ein esa kya ho gaya ki tumne..."(I don't get affected by all these now...and I have no relation...What do you wanted to say?What had happened in these 3 years that you...?)

"Jaanta tha ki aap esa hi kuch kahengi...magar aapki aankhe kabhi jhoot nahi kehti hai...Waise toh aapne aasoon aur dard ko dabaana acchi tarike se seekh liya hai, inn teen saalon mein..."(I knew that you would be saying something like this.By the way you have learnt to hide your pain and tears very well in these 3 years..)

Bulbul interrupts and says---

"Purab ! Tum kyun?"(Purab, why are you ??)

"Tumhe darne ki zaroorat nahi hai Bulbul...Tumhe kya laga ki main tumse milne aaya hoon, tumhaare bare mein bataane aaya hoon??Main sirf yahan aapko itna bataane aaya hoon ki main finally Aaliyaah ke saath ek nayi zindagi ki shuruwaat kar raha hoon...Chacha chachi toh waise bhi mere iss faisle ke khilaaf hi hain...aur woh yahan nahi hain...main bas Daadi ka aashirvaad lene ke liye ghar gaya tha, kyunki ek Pragya di ke baad wahi hai jo mujhe behter samajhti hain...par jaake pata chala ki, aap log yahan hai...Mujhse raha nahi gaya isliye main yahan chala aaya..Meri Bhagwaan se yahi prarthna hai ki who Daadi ko jald se jald theek karen..Unhe toh theek hon hi hai...Hum sab ke liye...

Mujhe lagta hain ki ab mujhe chalna chahiye...main Daadi se unke theek hone ke baad miloonga...Agar zaroorat pade toh please mujhe batayiyega...main yahi pe hoon..."

(You needn't panic Bulbul, what do you feel that I have come to meet you and tell about you?I have just come to inform you all that finally I am staring afresh with Aaliyah..My aunt and uncle are not with my decision and hence I went to your house for blessings of Daadi, afterall she is the one who understands me well...after Pragya Di.But there I got to know about this incident and I came her unable to withstand...I shall pray to the almighty, for her sooner recovery, and please don't forget that I am always there for you all,anytime you need.I would meet Daadi after her recovery.She has to be alright for us..)

WAHE-GURU ASHRAM(PUNE) - 9:14 pm

(It's raining hard both in Mumbai and Pune by that time)

Dehkhiye Abhi, hum ne sach much mein laga ki who aap hi ki daadi hain... Isiliye toh humne unhe pakadne ki khoshish ki thi...aur waise bhi pichle do saalon se main aur meri saari police force unhe dhoodh rahi hai. (Mr. Abhi, we thought that she was your Daadi and tried catching her in vain...By the way, we have been doing this from the past 2 years..)

LAGA!?! (You people thought?) And Do nahi Inspector !! (Not two Inspector !) Poore dhaai saal ho gaye hain(two and half years) mere daadi ko ghaayab hue...(It has been 2.5 years since my Daadi is missing.)Aur damn your force,kyunki aaj tak tum logon ne unka koi pata nahi lagaya hai...(Damn your force for not being able to find her since.)

Magar Sir,humne toh...socha ki...(But Sir, we have thought that...)

Oh just shut up you Inspector !!! Yahan pe koi Gunda nahi hai ki kuch WANTED poster lagao aur kaam khatam...Ye meri Daadi hai...Rockstar Abhi ki Daadi hain !...Ab mujhe tum logon ki stupid help nahi chahiye... .(My granny is not a criminal that you just post a WANTED poster on her name and sit idle...She is my Daadi !! Rockstar Abhi's Daadi...Now I don't need your stupid help...) You may leave now

Kya , aap?(What? You mean?)

HAAN , Ab main unhe khud dhoondh loonga (Yes !! I would myself search for her..) ...Get lost!!!

Okay,Mr.Ahuja iss ashram ke rakhwale hain...Inhone hi aapki Daadi ko yaha dekha tha. (Ok...Mr.Ahuja is this head of this old age home..he was the one who had informed us..)

"Mr.Ahuja !" "Are you sure ki woh meri Daadi thi?"(Are you sure that you had seen my Daadi?)

"Mein iski aapko 100 percent guarantee de sakta hoon aapko Mr.Abhi...Who aurat aapki Daadi hi thi...Magar..."(I can 100% guarantee you, that the lady was your Daadi...but..)

"Kya?!"(But what?)

"Darasal baat yeh thi ki who bohut jaldi mein thi aur mere poonchne ke bavjood unhone kuch bhi kehne se inkaar kar liya...Aur bina kuch bataaye woh lautgayi...keh rahi thi unka rukna theek nahi hoga..."(She was in a hurry...she didn't even reveal her identity...inspite of me asking her many times..She was just saying that she has to go coz, her being here was risky...)

"Magar Daadi yahan karne kya aayi thi?"(But why did she come?)

"Sir, yeh ek dharmshaala hai...aur yahan har roz koi na koi aata hai, daan karne ke liye...Aapki Daadi bhi yahan daan karne ke liye hi aayi thi.."(Sir,this is an old age home, and people like your Daadi come here to donate)

"Tumhe uss police ke jagah mujhe bolna chaiye tha...Damn it !!"(You must have told me instead of police Damn it !!)

"Sorry Sir, lekin Sir mujhe ab yaad aa raha hai...ki who kisi hospital ke bare mein baat kar rahi thi...uska naam, wahi Mumbai mein hain sir...Haa CITY HOSPITAL hai Sir ..."(Sorry sir, actually now I remember that she was going to... some...hospital in Mumbai...the name is CITY HOSPITAL)

"Kya ... unhone esa kaha? CITY HOSPITAL? Iska Matlab toh,ab Daadi Mumbai mein hain? Theek hai...Agar tum galat nikle na toh teri kher nahi.."(Is it so ? That means that she might be in Mumbai...If you are wrong, then I will not leave you !!!)

Abhi thinks -- "Aakhir aisa kyun kar rahi hain aap mere saath Daadi...Please laut aayiye..Main yahan aap ke bagair bohut akela mehsoos kar raha hoon...Laut aayiye..Aur aapko aaj toh mein dhoond ke rahoonga..."(Why are you doing this to me Daadi? Please come back...I feel lonely without you...I will get you back today by any means..)

City Hospital -- Night 9:23pm

Aap please shaant ho jaaaye Maa ! Daadi ko kuch nahi hoga... Bhagwaan sab kuch theek karenge...(Mom, please relax, Daadi would be fine...God will make everything fine)

"Chup Bulbul ! Ek dum chup ! Mujhe teri hamdardi nahi chahiye..."(Just shut up Bulbul !I don't need your condolences)

"Badi Maa, aap.."(Mom please..)

"Tu beech mein mat bol Purvi...Main acchi tarah se jaanti hoon"(I don't need to hear anything from you Purvi...I know everything)

"Beeji ko toh theek hona hi hai...Rab ji par yakeen rakhiye na..."(Janki says that God would be in their favour and Beeji would be fine )

"Janaki, Beeji theek toh ho jayengi na...Aaj tak, wahi meri sabse badi taakat rahi hain...unhone har waqt mujhe sambhaala hai...aur woh iss parivaar ka sahaara hai...maine unhe har haal mein nahi khona hai..."(I can't take the risk of losing her Janaki...She would be fine na,?She had been my backbone, my biggest moral support in all my difficult times...She is the pillar of our family)

Sarla starts crying badly...

"Maa!"(Mom!!)

"Maine kaha tha na jaane ke liye...Tu ab tak gayi nahi? Mat dikha tu mujhe apni shakal..."(I have told you to leave and you didn't Pragya?)

Pragya in a stern voice --

"Main nahi jaaongi, jab tak Daadi theek nahi ho jaaati...Suna aap ne..."( Listen !... I will not go anywhere unless Daadi gets fine..)

*Slap*

Sarla for the first time in her life,slaps Pragya..

Pragya sobs and says --

"Aap ka jawaab thappad hai toh koi baat nahi Maa...Maariye mujhe...Mujhe manzoor hai...agar aap chahti hain toh main chali bhi jaaongi...lekin...tab jab Daadi sahi salamat ghar waapas chali jaayengi"(If your answer is this, then fine, I have no problem and I accept it heartfully...You are free to slap me...Come on do it...If you want,I would leave but only then when Daadi would be fine)

"Mujhe tumhari ye baate nahi sunni Pragya...!"(I don't want to listen any of your words, Pragya)

"Excuse me, Ms Arora?"

"Ji doctor?"(Yes doctor?)

"Hum patient ko operation theatre main leke jaa rahe hain...Abhi unka operation karna zaroori hai.."(We are shifting the patient to the OT, the operation must be done immediately)

"Abhi? Matlab ..."(But now?)

"Meri Daadi theek toh ho jaayengi na Doctor?"(Will my Daadi be fine,doctor?)

"Risky operation hai isliye 50-50 chances hai ...aur umar bhi badi hai...dekhenge...we will try our level best...baaki sab uss Bhagwaan ki marzi.."(The chances are 50-50 coz the operation is risky...we will try our level best)

Sarla starts crying again...and starts losing consciousness...All hold her and make her drink some water.

Pragya holds her sternly and makes Sarla look at her"

"Maa ! Dekhiye meri taraf !...Daadi ko kuch nahi hoga ... Kuch nahi hoga Daadi ko...main hoon na !!"(Mom!! Face me ! Daadi will be fine...nothing will happen to her...I am there..)

Sarla stops crying and hugs Pragya...and sobs...

"Tu meri sabse samajdaar bacchii hai Pragya !! Magar kyun tune esa kiya bacche ! Tera yeh faisla galat tha..."(You are my wise and practical daughter Pragya !! How could you do it? This decision of yours was at fault..)

"Main jaanti hoon Maa...please aap mat royiye...uske bare mein hum baad mein baat karenge... please relax.."(I know that Mom...but please don't cry...we will talk about it later..Now please relax..)

All the family members start praying...

Meanwhile Abhi drives back to Mumbai...and in a rush reaches City hospital...

Time - 11:48pm

Abhi in a rush parks his car and is unfortunately surrounded by the media...He somehow manages to get rid of them...and enters into the hospital...he rushes to the reception...with Daadi's photo...in her phone.

Meanwhile ---

"Operation successful hai...Congrats Ms.Arora"(Operation is successful)

"Thank you so much doctor"

"Hey Bhagwaan, tujhe shat pranaam"(Sarla says -- Oh God ! Thanks a lot..)

"Rab ne bacha liya...Rab di shukar"(Janaki says-- Thanks to you my God!!)

"Kyaa hum unse mil sakte hain?"(Can we meet now her doc.?)

"Nah, abhi milna theek nahi hai...agle 24 ghante yeh hamari observation mein rahengi...Uske ek din bad aap unhe ghar le jaa sakte ho...Ms.Arora, aap please yeh prescribed medicines lekar aaye"(Not now Ms.Arora...She would be under our observation for next 24 hours..after that we will discharge her in 1-2 days...Meanwhile we need this prescribed medications for her...)

"Ji Doctor..."(Yes Doctor..)

"Pragya main lekar aati hoon..."(I will get them Pragya..)

"Nahi Kritika, rehne do...main khud lekar aati hoon..."(No Kritika..I will get them by myself)

Pragya leaves from there...and goes to the pharmacy in the ground floor...

At Pharmaceutical center

"Sorry Madam,yeh yaha abhi khatam hogaye...kam se kame ek ghanta lagega stock aane ke liye..aap bahar try kar sakti hai..."

"Accha mein baahar dekh loongi...Filhaal aap mujhe available medicines de deejiye."

"Ji Thank you"

Unfortunately after enquiring in the pharmacy,she comes to know that the particular medication is not available...and she has to get it from outside... She leaves from there and enters into the area, where the reception is...Meanwhile Abhi is also coming towards her...They both pass by and don't see each other...

The receptionist and the nurses all around see Abhi and start going bonkers about him...They scream and ask him for the photos and autographs..

"Hey Abhi, ek selfie please...Wow Rockstar !!!"

Abhi gets rid of them...Thanks to the head of the staff, coming there and scolding them for creating didsturbance in the hospital...

Reception

Abhi shows his phone to the receptionist--

"Kyaa, aapne inhe yaha se jaate hue dekha hai? Kya aap bataa sakti hai ki woh kisse milne aayi thi?"(Have you seen this lady in the photograph here? Can you say,where she has gone?)

"Nahi..sir, bas unhone room no.208 poocha aur chali gayi...Uss taraf gayi hain..."(She had asked about room number 208 only sir, she has gone that side)(Indicates him)

"Thank you sister..."

Abhi thinks -- "Daadi...please iss baar miljaayiye..."(Please Daadi return to me...atleast this time I hope)

He goes there and to his surprise finds out that the room no. 208's admitted patient is none other than his Rockstar Daadi...He is shocked...

Seeing Sarla,he quickly hides there...He quickly tries to understand the whole matter...and leaves from there...

Pragya starts coming inside the hospital hall...whereas Abhi is walking very fast...seeing constantly backwards...and then they collide each other...*slam*

All the medicines are scattered...The file, which she was holding flies away from her hand and Abhi catches hold of Pragya before falling...Pragya assuming her fall to the ground closes her eyes...

Abhi realises that she is none other than his Chashmish Pragya...He becomes dumb and thunderstruck...

Pragya feeling the touch of manly hands on her waist...somehow interprets that she is not on ground...slowly opens her eyes...

Pragya is totally shocked to see the personality before her...Her eyes turn watery...all the past memories,swiftly come across her eyes, and start making her emotional...afterall he was the LOVE of her LIFE...All the prescription papers and reports start flying, due to the wind and rain...
