Paridhi comes to MM after Gopi's recovery. She only did the recording part & gave that to Gopi which everyone came to know about it eventually. She does not feel good about Sona but for Sahir's happiness, she is not able to tell anything to her but she starts observing Sona.
Sahir: How dare you push my mom?
Sona: when you people can do this to my mother why can't I?
Gopi comes in.
Sona: It is all because of you. First, you killed Radha & now you sent my mai to the mental asylum.
Gopi: When did she become your mother? As far as I know, my parents had 2 daughters & I am the one remaining. If you are my sister where were you at that time when my dad came to our place. I know my mamaji & dad will never hide these things.
Sona: Yes, she is not my mom but I consider her as one.
Gopi: Trust me, I didn't know my mom would do these things. I had convinced my maaji to give shelter to you people & this is what you guys are doing. SHAME ON YOU.
Sona: You are insulting mother-daughter relationship.
Arguments take place between three of them. Gopi & Paridhi are together. Kokila comes in & screams BASS BAHUT HO GAYA SONA. Either you apologize to my DIL's or pack your bag & leave the house.

Sona: You people have done this to my mom & I should keep quiet.
Kokila: Your so-called mai is wrong & you are defending her? She knows what all Radha did to us yet she is doing harm to the family. I was not ready to keep her in the first place but it was because of my Gopi Vahu I relented. It was only because of that you got the entry. You should be thanking my Gopi Vahu.
Sona: Even I was not ready to stay here but it was only for mai I am staying here. I agree that I had mistakenly kidnapped Samar but I married Sahir because I love him.
Sahir: Is this the way you behave with your elders? Apologize to them right away otherwise, I will throw all your belongings outside the house.
Sona reluctantly apologizes to all.
Paridhi: Sahir, now you know how your wife is! I will give her a months time. If she shows improvement in her behavior & changes her attitude, I will accept her as my DIL else you have to abide by what I say.
Sahir agrees.
Kokila: From now on, she will be under observation. We have put on the CCTV's in which every action will be recorded. Even when she goes out for shopping, somebody or the other will come with her. If Sahir comes with her, he too should report me. And Sona, don't be under the impression that you can come back to your old behavior once you get over this one month trial and no tricks from you. Your time starts from now.
Sona is shocked. She is thinking about meeting Madhu.
Kokila: And if you try to meet Madhu or even to communicate with her at any point in time, it won't be good. You shall not move out alone till we are convinced that you won't play any tricks. You shall not meet her unless we give you the permission.
Sona is shocked but she agrees.
Everyone leaves.
Sona: Why these rules are only for me? Please speak to your mom.
Sahir: It is dadi's decision. even if I tell my mom what can she do? You know dadi very well. Once she decides, she won't listen to anyone. So I cannot do anything in this regard except that I can take you to her. But you have to give me the assurance that whatever you speak to her, it should be in my presence. This is also dadi's wish & will. I'm very much helpless.
Sona is thinking what to do when she goes to Gopi & requests her send her for meeting Madhu.
Gopi: I understand your concern for mom. I too feel bad for her. No matter how she is, I cannot deny or change the fact that she is my mom. Maaji had warned me about her intentions but I requested her to give her(Madhu) a chance. I was hoping that she will not goof up but I am so much disappointed & I can't talk about it to my maaji. When she listened to my plea & everyone including my husband had requested the same. So, it is also my part to abide by her even if that person is my mom or whoever it is. Even I want to see her & speak to her but I cannot do that without Maaji's and/or Ahemji's permission. Sorry, I cannot help you in this matter.
Sona approaches all other Modi members except Kokila but they gave her the same reply. Baa told her to speak to Kokila about it. Sona is afraid to talk about it to Kokila that she somehow musters up the courage & goes to her room.
Kokila: I know why you have come here. Is it about your mai right?
Sona: Yes chhoti dadi.
Kokila: Well, you can meet her but not in private. Anyone of us will come with you if you are interested. Did you speak to Gopi Vahu about it?
Sona: Yes, I did but she said your permission is needed.
Kokila: I know Gopi Vahu very well. She has been longing for motherly love for the past 22 years. She forgives people very easily & never keeps any grudge. If she is willing you can go with her.
She then calls Gopi to her room & asks her to go with Sona to meet Madhu.
Gopi: But what about Ahemji? I need to ask him too. If you remember, when we sent Vidya to her in-law's place, he got very angry for not consulting him. We also knew about Meera's cheerharan but I didn't tell him that because you told me not to tell him. When he got to know about it, he broke all the relations & left the house. I am afraid of his temper & I can't put our relationship at stake. After all these incidents, I don't have the face to talk to him regarding this matter. So I told her that besides your permission, I need Ahemji's approval too.
Kokila: What you say is correct. I fully agree with you. Sona, have you heard what Gopi said just now. I knew that Gopi will say that. There were times when Ahem used to listen to me without questioning or analyzing but now things have changed a lot. Ahem's transformation is justified. He has got his immediate family and has got his responsibilities and priorities. Did you talk to Ahem about it?
Sona: No, I only spoke to ladies of this house till now. I have not talked to any men in the house other than Sahir.
Kokila: Speak to Ahem about it. If he agrees, I have no objection but bear one thing in mind. You won't go alone to meet her or speak to her in private. Even if you escape & go there without my knowledge, I will still get that information. We know everybody in the asylum plus we have friends everywhere.
Ahem comes & calls Gopi. She goes to Ahem who asks for green tea in his room. Gopi goes to the kitchen & prepares green tea. She then goes to the room & serves him. Ahem goes to the bathroom & freshes himself. He relaxes & sits on the sofa, making the presentation for the next day. Gopi is re-arranging the wardrobe. Ahem finishes his work & helps Gopi.
Then they start having some conversation & have some moments.
Ahem: Darling, so many days have passed. Don't you feel like seeing your mom? I know that after this incident, you are very much hesitant to meet her. I can understand your situation. My only concern is that Gaura & Premlatha would also be there & I can sense they are upto something. I dreamt they have befriended other mad people & will harm you when they see you. That is why I didn't want to send you alone or even talk about it. You two didn't ask me about it which made me ask myself whether I'm doing the right thing or not but she is your mom & we cannot change the fact.
Gopi: Sona too wants to meet her but maaji is not willing to send her alone. She specifically told her that if I agree then she will send her. But I want to ask you before proceeding.
Ahem is happy that Gopi has consulted him & it has been a very long time ever since she did that. Sona stands outside the room. Ahem sees her and asks her to come in.

Sona: I spoke to chhoti dadi about meeting Madhu mai...
Ahem: I know. We were also talking about it. You can go with Gopi to meet her but Myself, Jigar, Sahir & Samar will also come with both of you.
Sona is shocked but has no other option.
Gopi: Ahemji is right. People are not good there.
They all leave for the asylum.
