Gang left the room dazed by the new info they got about taani...many questions were going unanswered through their mind...if Taani is orphan how can she be this rich...Why did she kill Vivek..
Doctor Ravi..does he know about her deeds...then why is he not stopping her... on the top, why is she keeping all of them here... What does she want????
Taani: finished...lets go...
They looked at her...she was standing there smiling at them..her smile faltered a little seeing them looking at her in a wierd way..
Taani: kya hua..is everything ok...

Gritting their teeth they left from there...After having food they went to their room...
Amar: ese bacche mene zindagi main nahi dekha.
