"KK Prabhakar se shart haar gaya. Tum Prabhakar Sinha ka beta! KK Prabhakar se haar gaya!"
The final words of the mighty & powerful Krishna Kanth Reddy keep ringing in Siddhant's ears as he gathers crying Anushka in his arms. He never imagined seeing a man like KK end his life so easily. The lawyer in him said that KK did this to save himself as his crimes had crossed all the limits of humanity. But Prabhakar Sinha's Son in him knew that the only people who got punished for his crimes are the people who loved and worshiped KK; his wife, his sons, & Anushka. He knew in his heart that somewhere in the depths of the universe, his Pita Shree is crying, too, as he would've done everything in his power to set things right. As the anger, pain, guilt, and sheer exhaustion take over him, he holds on to Anushka for the same strength she is seeking from him.
"KK ka saara wajood jhoota ho sakta lekin uska tumhaare liye pyaar, Anushka, woh sachha hai. KK ka sachhai hai!"
Anushka tries reasoning with herself by reminding herself of his endless crimes and telling herself that death is the easiest punishment for him. But all she can see is the lifeless face of the man who was her first hero, her pillar of strength, her Appa. As she cries her heart out, she feels two arms tightening around her as if they are trying to protect her from the pain. She feels a hand gently caressing her hair as if trying to sooth her aching heart. She feels tears on her shoulder that resonated with her pain. When she had looked up from her father's lifeless body, she saw a man who had lost his father, too. As she saw Siddhant pick up the picture of both of their fathers, she had realized that she only had one pillar left and had walked up to him to bury herself in his arms. Now, however, as she feels tears rolling down from his eyes, too, she looks up at him and sees her husband genuinely crying for a man who had killed his father. She stares at the agony in his eyes and is about to say something when suddenly the police officer breaks his silence.
"Humein body ko post mortum ke liye le jaana hoga Mr. Sinha! Official report banani padegi karwaahi aage badhaane ke liye!"
Siddhant lets go of Anushka and walks up to the officer and says, "Aap zara bahar aaiye. Humein aap se baat karni hai!" With that Siddhant leaves the room with the police officers and the guards.
Anushka stares after Siddhant for a long moment. Neeta looks at her and walks up to her daughter. She takes her in her arms as the mother and daughter share the pain of their loss. Suddenly Karthik stands up and says,
"Yeh sab uss Siddhant ki wajah se hua hai. Usne maara Appa ko!"
Anushka lets go of her mother and says, "Ha! Usne maara Appa ko bilkul waise jaise humaare Appa ne uske Papa ko maara tha!"
Srikanth, upon hearing this, get enraged and says, "Tum aisa soch bhi kaise sakti ho Anu? Tum bhi uss Siddhant ki baton mein aa gai? Apne Appa se zyaada tumhe uss Siddhant pe bharosa hai?"
Anushka replies, "Bharosa toh mujhe aaj bhi apne Appa par hi hai Anna. Issiliye maanti hu ki unhone hi Prabhakar uncle ka khoon kiya hai."
To this Neeta asks, "Tu kya bol rahi hai Anushka?"
Anushka says, "Ha Ma, mujhe pura yakeen hai ki Appa ne hi yeh sab kiya hai kyun ki unhone khud mere saamne yeh sab kabool kiya hai."
The whole family gets shocked to the bone when Anushka tells them everything that had happened in the last two days. She then looks down at her Appa and hugs her mom. Karthik, Srikanth, and Riddhi join them.
Outside, Siddhant gets a call from Gayatri. She asks him what happened, and he tells her about KK's suicide. Gayatri gets tensed as she, too, gets worried for the Reddy family. Purva gets worried for Karthik and suggests that they should go, too, and Gayatri agrees.
It's been 15 days since KK's demise and with the strong support from the Sinha family, the Reddys gather the courage to face their future without KK. Sitting in the vast living room of her house, Neeta reminisces her time with her husband. Everything from their marriage to the births, lives, and marriages of their children flashes in front of her eyes as she suddenly realizes that she will be all by herself for the rest of her life. As she delves in the uncertainties of her future, she feels a warm hand on her shoulder. She looks up and sees Gayatri sitting next to her. She looks into her warm eyes and remembers how the Sinhas stood by her family like a rock and shared their sorrows. Gayatri smiles slightly at her as if she understood what Neeta was thinking.
She folds her hands and says, "Gayatriji, mujhe nahi pata mein kaise maafi maangu aapse. KK ne jo kuch bhi kiya who jaan ne ke baad mein toh aapse nazare bhi nahi mila sakti. Aur itna kuch hone ke baad bhi aapne humaara saath diya iss bure waqt mein. Hum iske, aap ke support ke, laayak hi.."
And Gayatri stops her.
She holds Neeta's hands in hers and says, "Jo kuch bhi hua usme aapki ya bachho ki koi galati nahi hai Neetaji. Aur hum yaha aap pe ehsaan karne nahi aaye the. Aapka, humaari saheli ka, dukh baantne aaye the. Aur rahi baat maafi ki, toh woh toh humein aap se maangni chahiye. Jab Anushka humaari bahu banke aayi thi tab humne usse ashirwaad tak nahi diya aur na hi aap ka maan rakha."
She folds her hands in front of Neeta and says, "Please hume maaf kar dijiye Neetaji. Kisi aur ka gussa humne aap pe utaara."
This time Neeta holds her hands and they hug.

Outside by the pool, Karthik is standing with his thoughts tangled up. Ever since Anushka told them the truth about their father, he hasn't been able to comprehend anything. He feels betrayed by the father he worshipped and idolized and yet can't help but mourn after him. Suddenly, he feels a warm presence behind him. He turns around to see Purva standing behind him. He looks at the girl who lost her father because of his father and yet stood by him in the toughest time of his life. As he stares at her innocent face, she opens her arms and hugs him. Her unspoken support for him breaks him even more as he buries himself in her arms and cries. Moments pass and Purva steps back from him still holding his hand.
"Sab kharaab ho gaya. Appa ne sab barbaad kar diya." He says.
Purva replies, "Karthik, sab theek ho jaaega!"
"Kaise theek hoga? Appa ne jo kiya, ab hum duniya ka saamna kaise karenge? Siddhant aur Gayatri aunty ka saamna kaise karenge? Mein tumhaara saamna kaise karunga?" He says and looks away.
Purva touches his face and forces him to look at her. She gives a small smile and says, "Hum tumhaare saamne nahi, tumhaare saath rehna chaahte hai. Jo kuch bhi hua uske liye Ma, Bhai, ya hum tumhe blame nahi karte. Trust me, sab theek ho jaaega."
"Kuch theek nahi hoga Purva. Sab fir se pehle jaisa kabhi nahi hoga."
"Bilkul. Sab fir se pehle jaisa kabhi nahi hoga. Lekin sab theek zaroor ho jaaega. Hum hai na tumhaare saath!"
Seeing her earnest eyes and unconditional love for him, Karthik can't help himself as he pulled her in his arms and hugs her wondering what he ever did to deserve her love.
In his room Srikanth is sitting nervously on the bed. The events of the last two weeks keep playing in his mind. As the oldest of the family now, he will be responsible for his family's well-being. Though he isn't scared about taking on the responsibilities, he is worried about how to face the world. Thus far, he had been able to keep everything away from the prying eyes of the media and the stakeholders of the Reddy Corporation. But soon they will want to know the truth about what happened. By each passing moment, Srikanth keeps getting tensed as he realizes the mess that he and his family are left to clean up. If the media finds out about KK's involvement in the Goyal plane crash and Prabhakar uncle's death, not only their reputation will be shattered but also the entire business empire will collapse. And with this realization, he straightens up as if waking up from a nightmare and feels a soft hand on his shoulder. He looks up and sees Riddhi standing next to him. Looking up at her eyes filled with love, he remembers how she never once left his side through all this and took care of everyone.
He gets up, takes her hands in his, and says, "I love you so much Riddhi. Thank you, mera aur mere parivaar ka saath dene ke liye."
Riddhi gets hurt a little and says, "Tum aur tumhaara parivaar mere bhi toh kuch lagte ho na Sri?"
Srikanth replies, "Lagte the! Ab shaayad nahi lagenge."
Riddhi gets shocked and asks, "What? Tum kya bol rahe ho?"
Srikanth lets go of her hands and turns around. With a stern resolve in his voice he says, "Hum saath nahi reh sakte. Tumhe mujhse alag hona hoga."
Riddhi's head starts spinning around upon hearing this. She gets mad, pulls Srikanth to face her, and says, "Kya bakwaas kar rahe ho Sri? Tum aisa soch bhi kaise sakte ho? Yeh ghar mera hai, yeh family meri hai. Mein kyun alag ho jaau inse?"
Srikanth looks at her beautiful face and says, "Ab sab badal jaaega Riddhi. Bohot jald sabko sab sach pata chal jaaega. Aur jaise hi Appa ka sach duniya ke saamne aaega, Reddy's ka naam, yeh shohrat sab khatam. Humaare paas shaayad yeh ghar bhi nahi hoga. Please, please meri baat samjho."
Riddhi gives a sarcastic laugh and says, "Wah.. wah Mr. Reddy! Kitani aasani se tumne mujhe ek gold-digger ka title de diya. Tumhe lagta hai mein tumhaare saath iss bade ghar, Reddys ke naam, ya shohrat k liye hu? Ke mein tumse aur tumhaari family se nahi tumhaare paiso se pyaar karti hu?"
"Nahi Riddhi. Woh baat nahi hai. Tum.."
"Toh baat kya hai Srikanth?"
"Nahi Riddhi! Mein.. mein nahi chahta ke tumhe koi bhi takleef ho. Mujhe nahi pata k Reddy corporation ka future kya hai. But mein itana zaroor jaanta hu k mein iss company ka saaya ab aur apni family pe nahi padne dunga. Corporation, companies, yeh ghar, yeh gaadiya, yeh naam.. yeh sab Appa ne innocent logo k khoon se unki laasho pe banaya hai. Mujhe ab shuru se shuruaat karni hogi. Srikanth Reddy ko toh bina maange bohot kuch mila hai but Srikanth ke liye sab utana aasaan nahi hoga. Aise mein mein tumhe khush nahi rakh paaunga. Aur tumhe dukhi bhi nahi dekh sakta. Tum please jaao mujhe chhod ke."
"Meri khushi ki padi hai aur yeh bhi nahi pata k meri khushi kaha hai! Sri meri Khushi tumhaare saath hai.. Ma, Anushka, Karthik, apni family ke saath hai. Khushiyo ke dino mein toh kabhi saath nahi choda toh ab kaise chodu?"
"Riddhi..
"Sri, ab jo hoga saath mein face karenge. Aur waise bhi, shaadi ki hai tumne mujh se! Lifetime tak ka paala pada hai!
With that they laugh a little as Srikanth pulls her in his arms with a renewed sense of strength.
Siddhant is talking on the phone about a new case when he sees the inspector in charge of KK's case. He hangs up the call and walks towards the officer. The inspector hands him some papers to sign and Siddhant goes to KK's study to get the pen. As Siddhant leaves, Anushka comes down from her room and sees the inspector. She remembers that she still needs to give her statement to the police regarding plane crash and the murders.
She walks up to him and says, "Officer, aap yaha humaara statement lene aaye hai na? Aaiye, Appa ke khilaaf mein statement dungi."
The officer gets confused but says, "Ab koi statement ki koi zaroorat nahi hai Ms. Reddy. Mr. Sinha ne murder charges ussi din wapis le liye the jis din aap ke appa ne suicide kiya tha. Mein yaha wohi sign karvaane aaya tha."
Anushka gets shocked hearing this. She wonders why Siddhant did what he did. She is about to go look for him when he comes with the signed statement and gives it to the inspector. The inspector leaves.
Anushka turns to Siddhant and asks, "Tumne case wapis kyun le liya? Appa ko unke gunaho ki saza milni chahiya. Prabhakar uncle ko insaaf milna chahiye."
"Tumhaare appa ke gunah unke saath hi chale gae Anushka. Aur rahi baat humaare Pita Shree ki, toh woh nahi chaahenge ki Saasuma, Srikanth, Karthik, aur tumhe ab aur koi bhi takleef ho."
"Lekin Siddhant.."
"Anushka KK Reddy ko unke kiye ki saza ussi waqt mil gai thi jab tumhe unka sach pata chala. Itane logo ko takleef dekar jaana toh unhe khaali haath hi pada. Aur unke bure karmo k liye tum ya baaki sab responsible nahi hai. Ab hume bas aage dekhna hai. Aanewale kal pe beete kal ka saaya nahi padne denge hum. Ab bas ek hi cheez matter karti hai, humaara rishta, humaara future. Hum tumse bohot pyaar karte hai Anushka. Iss ke siva ab aur koi sach humein nahi jaan na."
Anushka sees his unconditional love and devotion and wraps her arms around him. As Siddhant tightens his arms around her and hugs her back with so much love, Anushka feels as if she is finally home!
