(There is complete silence in the room after Veer has come to the mansion and Man-ya have told him about everything. Riya looks at Manik, worried, and he blinks his eyes in assurance to her.)

Veer- Usne ye sab kaha aur hum maan le?

[Veer- He said all this, and we should accept it?]

Riya- Hum ne maana nahi hai Veer. Ussi baat ke liye to hum ye test karvana chahte hai. Taaki sab prove ho sake.

[Riya- We have not agreed to it, Veer. We want to get this test done for the same thing. So that everything can be proved.]

Veer- Aur agar prove nahi hua to?

[Veer- And if it is not proved?]

Manik (sighing)- It is a test, Veer. And we know ki Ashwin jo bhi karta hai sirf apne fayde ke liye karta hai. Isiliye hum uski baat ke liye proofs consider kar rahe hai. That's it.

[Manik (sighing)- It is a test, Veer. And we know that whatever Ashwin does is for his own benefit. That's why we are considering proofs for his point. That's it.]

Veer- Aur agar test results negative huye to Manik? Pehle hum iss hope se test karvaye ki usne jo kaha hai vo sach hai aur Riya... Riya meri behen hai... But agar results negative aaye to? Isse sirf mujhe hi nahi Riya ko bhi utna hi dukh hoga. And I seriously don't want ki aisa kuch bhi ho. I don't want anyone to get hurt.

[Veer- And if the test results are negative, then Manik? First, we get the tests done, hoping that what he has said is true and Riya... Riya is my sister... but what if the test results come negative? Because of this, not only me but Riya will also be equally hurt. And I seriously don't want that something like that happens. I don't want anyone to get hurt.]

Riya- Aur agar results positive aane huye to?

[Riya- And if the results were to come back positive?]

(Manik and Veer look at Riya, and she continues speaking.)

Riya- Agar hum iss darr se test naa karvaye ki agar results negative aaye to hume dukh hoga, to jitne chances hai vo bhi khatam ho jayenge. We have got a chance, Veer. I have a chance to get my family back, and you have a chance to get your sister back. Agar ye test results positive aate hai to sab kuch sahi ho jayega. But agar hum ne dukhi hone ke darr se test nahi karvaye aur baad mein kisi aur tarhan se hume koyi sach pata chala, tab humare paas regret karne ke alawa koyi option nahi hoga Veer. Ki humare paas ye chance tha aur humne isse jaane diya. We had a chance to set things right, but we didn't do anything. Batao kaisa lagega tumhe tab?

[Riya- If we don't get the test done because of the fear that we will feel sad if the results come negative, then all the chances we have will also end. We have got a chance, Veer. I have a chance to get my family back, and you have a chance to get your sister back. If these test results come positive, then everything will be fine. But if we didn't get the test done for fear of being hurt and later learned the truth from some other place, we will have no option but to regret it, Veer. That we had this chance, and we let it go. We had a chance to set things right, but we didn't do anything. Tell me how you will feel then?]

Veer (sighing)- I know your point is valid, Riya, but I don't want to build up hope like this. I lost my sister once, and I don't want to hope for something and later get proven wrong.

Manik- Hum bina test ke kuch bhi nahi keh sakte naa Veer. It's a 50-50 chance. Positive and negative dono ho sakte hai. Dono cheezon ke equal chances hai.

[Manik- We can't say anything without a test, Veer, right? It's a 50-50 chance. It can be both positive and negative. There are equal chances of both things.]

Riya- But agar hum negative 50% ko itni importance dete hai to hume positive 50% ko bhi to importance deni chahiye naa. Don't you think so ki hume iss chance ko jaane nahi dena chahiye? Agar results positive aate hai... To sab sahi ho jayega Veer. Ek baar socho iss baare mein.

[Riya- But if we give so much importance to the negative 50%, then we should also give importance to the positive 50%, shouldn't we? Don't you think that we should not let this chance go? If the results come positive... Then everything will be fine, Veer. Think about it once.]

(Veer looks at them and nods a yes after taking a deep breath.)

(Manik is sitting on the bed and is lost in deep thoughts when Riya comes to him with his medicines. He looks at her and takes his medication while she looks at him, confused.)

Riya- Tum pareshaan ho Manik?

[Riya- Are you upset, Manik?]

(Manik sighs and holds her hand, to which she looks on.)

Riya- Manik kya hua hai? Sab theek hai naa?

[Riya- What happened, Manik? Is everything okay?]

Manik- Agar main tum se Ashwin Dixit se related kuch puchu to theek rahega?

[Manik- Is it okay if I ask you something related to Ashwin Dixit?]

Riya- Sure. Tum puch sakte ho Manik. But hua kya hai?

[Riya- Sure. You can ask, Manik. But what has happened?]

Manik- So now that we are exposing the Dixit family and mainly all that Ashwin has done, every little detail from the past will be brought up and investigated. Like each and everything. So are you okay with that? Because that means even your past will be brought up. Is it okay with you?

(She looks at him momentarily, and he looks at her concerned. She then nods a yes after a moment, and he speaks up.)

Manik- Are you sure about this, Riya? Because I have seen how difficult it has been for you to overcome everything, and I don't want you to force yourself on anything. If you are not ready, then...

Riya (sighing)- I am ready for this, Manik.

Manik- Are you sure? You are not forcing yourself on this, right?

Riya- I am not forcing myself, Manik. I am actually ready to do this. And that happened after we met. Iss shaadi se pehle mujhe ye lagta tha ki main agar kisi ko bhi kuch kahungi to vo ulta mujhe blame karega and Ashwin Dixit ko koyi kuch nahi bolega. But now, after all this time we have been together, more than anything, it has given me strength. Our love has given me the power... to fight against all these odds. Kyunki now I know ki baaki sab chahe jo marzi karte rahe, what matters is US. And jab tak hum saath hai, I can fight my demons easily. Aur kab tak Ashwin Dixit aise bachta rahega Manik. He needs to pay for everything that he has done. In fact, he and his whole family will pay for everything they have done.

[Riya- I am not forcing myself, Manik. I am actually ready to do this. And that happened after we met. Before this marriage, I used to think that if I said anything to anyone, they would blame me, and no one would say anything to Ashwin Dixit. But now, after all this time we have been together, more than anything, it has given me strength. Our love has given me the power... to fight against all these odds. Because now I know that others can do whatever they want. What matters is us. And as long as we are together, I can fight my demons easily. And for how long will Ashwin Dixit continue to be saved like this, Manik. He needs to pay for everything that he has done. In fact, he and his whole family will pay for everything they have done.]

Manik- Of course. They will pay for everything. And also, when the test results will come out and they prove that you are a Mehra, you will have more people to love you and give you the love you deserve. It will be a new beginning for you.

Riya- Not just for me, Manik. It will be a new beginning for both of us, away from all the negativity and hatred.

(He nods his head in a yes to her, and they smile, looking at each other.)

Manik- But Riya... Before that, we have to do one more thing. We need to talk to Veer's parents as well... I mean... they will get shocked... I think we should talk to them once so that they are prepared.

Riya- Manik, you think ye karna theek rahega? And sab kuch test results par depend karta hai.

[Riya- Manik, do you think it would be okay to do this? And everything depends on the test results.]

Manik- I know but jab Ashwin arrest hoga aur tab ye matter dubara bahar aayega to unko zyaada bura lagega. Usse acha to ye hoga ki hum ek baar Veer ke saath unse baat kar le aur unhe sab bata de. And Veer bhi to unse baat karega naa for the proofs. To unko kuch baatein to pata chal hi jayengi tab.

[Manik- I know, but they will feel worse when Ashwin gets arrested and this matter comes out again. It would be better to talk to Veer once and tell him everything. And Veer too will speak to them for the proofs. So they will come to know some things then.]

Riya- Okay then. We will talk to Veer after giving the samples tomorrow.

Manik- Sure.

(The next day, Riya and Veer give their blood samples for the test and later have a talk with Veer too. He, too, agrees to their point, and the trio heads to Mehra Mansion.)

(Veer, Manik and Riya enter the mansion, and Jahnvi greets them with a smile.)

Jahnvi- Arey Manik, Riya tum dono yahan. Kaise ho tum dono?

[Jahnvi- Hey Manik, Riya, both of you here. How are you?]

(The trio looks at each other, and Veer speaks up.)

Veer- Is Dad at home, Mom?

Jahnvi- Haan vo study room mein hai. Main bulati hu unko. Aur tum sab ke liye kuch bana kar...

[Jahnvi- Yes, he is in the study room. I will call him. And also make something for you all...]

Manik- No, no, Aunty... please call Uncle down. We have to talk to you about something.

(Just then, Shekhar comes there.)

Shekhar- Haan haan aa gaya main bhi. Par tum log baitho to sahi. Aao.

[Shekhar- Yes, yes, I have come too. But you guys sit down. Come.]

(They all settle on the couch in the hall and look on at each other. Riya rubs her hands anxiously, and Manik takes a sigh looking at her. He shifts closer to her and holds her hand firmly, to which she looks at him, and he blinks his eyes in assurance to her. She then looks at him and takes a deep breath before speaking.)

Shekhar- Sab theek to hai? Koyi problem hai to tum log share kar sakte ho humare saath.

[Shekhar- Is everything alright? If there is any problem, you can share it with us.]

Riya- Hume aap logon ko kuch cheezon ke baare mein batana hai... And mujhe nahi pata aap kaise react karoge sab sun kar par ek baar meri puri baat sun lijiye please.

[Riya- We have to tell you guys about some things... And I don't know how you will react after hearing everything, but please listen to the whole thing once.]

Jahnvi- Zarur. Par hua kya hai? Kis baare mein baat karni hai tumhe?

[Jahnvi- Of course. But what has happened? What do you want to talk about?]

Riya (sighing)- About the Dixit family.

(Shekhar and Jahnvi get silent at this and look on at Riya as she speaks further.)

Shekhar- Apni family ke baare mein tumhe hum se kya baat karni hai beta?

[Shekhar- What do you want to talk to us about your family, dear?]

Riya- They are not my real family... Uncle... I am not their real daughter.

(As Riya says this, they both take a moment to absorb the information and then look at each other, quite shocked.)

Jahnvi- Unki beti nahi ho? Ye sab kaise hua? Aur tumhe kaise pata chala?

[Jahnvi- You are not their daughter? How did all this happen? And how did you know?]

Manik- I will explain the whole thing to you.

(Manik then tells them how he heard Ashwin talking to someone in the hospital and how they later did the tests and discovered the truth.)

Shekhar- Mujhe to samajh nahi aata ki main kya bolu iss insaan ke baare mein. Hadd hoti hai har cheez ki. Par unhe paise ke aage kuch dikhta hi nahi hai.

[Shekhar- I don't know what to say about this man. There is a limit to everything. But they don't see anything beyond money.]

(Jahnvi looks at Riya suspiciously, and she looks at her with a sad expression.)

Jahnvi- But ye to deal ke baare mein tha naa, Ashwin aur Shekhar rivals the. Uss baat ka ab hum se kya lena dena hai? Hum log unse contact mein bhi nahi hai ab.

[Jahnvi- But it was about a deal, wasn't it? Ashwin and Shekhar were rivals. What does that have to do with us now? We are not even in contact with them now.]

(At this point, Veer takes a deep breath and speaks up.)

Veer (teary eyed)- Mom... Dad... Ashwin Dad ka rival tha and vo deal haar gaya tha naa, jab Dad hospital banvana chahte the...

[Veer (teary eyed)- Mom... Dad... Ashwin was dad's rival, and he lost the deal when dad wanted to build a hospital...]

Shekhar- Yes, and then?

Veer (teary eyed)- After that... then Mom... Mom had an accident and... and we lost her...

Jahnvi (anxiously)- Veer tu kya bol raha hai? Vo baat kahan se aa gayi beech mein? Kya connection hai inn baaton ka?

[Jahnvi (anxiously)- What are you saying, Veer? Where did that thing come from in the middle? What is the connection between these things?]

Riya (in tears)- Connection hai... jab aap ka accident hua aur aap hospital mein admit huye, to you gave birth to a baby... a baby girl... but doctors ne bola that they couldn't save her... vo... vo jhoot tha.

[Riya (in tears)- There is a connection... When you had an accident and were admitted to the hospital, you gave birth to a baby... a baby girl... but doctors said that they couldn't save her... that... that was a lie.]

(Shekhar and Jahnvi go pale on hearing this, and Riya looks at them in tears and continues speaking.)

Riya- Ashwin told me he bribed the doctors to lie to you... the baby wasn't dead... but Ashwin kidnapped her from the hospital to take revenge on you for the land deal.

(Shekhar and Jahnvi are stunned upon hearing this, and tears roll down Jahnvi's eyes as she stares at Riya in shock.)

Shekhar (angrily)- How can this be possible? What nonsense is this? And he will say anything, and we will accept it. He is playing games with us. He just wants to take advantage of our weakness.

Manik- Uncle aap please shaant ho jaiye aur ek baar puri baat sun lijiye please. Hum sab bhi aap ki tarhan shocked the jab hume sab pata chala tha. Par aap please shaant ho jaiye abhi.

[Manik- Uncle, please calm down and listen to the whole thing once. We all were as shocked as you when we came to know everything. But please calm down now.]

Shekhar- Kaise shaant rahu main Manik? Meri beti ki baat ho rahi hai yahan par. Aur main iss topic par koyi baat nahi sunna chahta.

[Shekhar- How can I be calm, Manik? My daughter is being talked about here. And I don't want to hear anything on this topic.]

(Shekhar gets up from there and starts leaving when Riya stands up and speaks up.)

Riya- Aap ki beti aap ko vapis mil sakti hai Uncle.

[Riya- You can get your daughter back, Uncle.]

(Shekhar stops on his way and looks back at her, and she takes a deep breath. Jahnvi, too stands up and goes to Riya.)

Jahnvi- What do you mean by that?

Riya (in tears)- Ashwin said ki jab usne baby ko kidnap kiya... to vo usse apne saath le gaya tha... and he then said ki usne usse apni beti bana diya... taaki vo uss deal ko haarne ki aur baaki sab ki frustration uspe nikal sake, usse suffer karva ke.

[Riya (in tears)- Ashwin said that when he kidnapped the baby... he took her with him... and he then said that he made her his daughter... So that he can take out the frustration of losing that deal and everyone else's frustration on her by making her suffer.]

Shekhar- What!

(Shekhar comes to her and stands in front of her. Veer and Manik, too, get up and stand beside Riya.)

Shekhar- Uss par frustration nikal sake ka kya matlab hota hai? Agar ye sab puri tarhan sach bhi hai to bhi... vo ek bache ko uss baat ki sazaa kaise de sakta hai jo usne kiya hi nahi hai. Aur hua bhi kya hai, ek deal hi to nahi mili thi usse, uske liye itna gussa aa gaya usse.

[Shekhar- What does it mean to be able to vent frustration on her? Even if all this is true... How can he punish a child for something she has not done. And he just hadn't got a deal and got so angry because of that?]

(Jahnvi thinks something and looks at Riya, shocked.)

Jahnvi- Ashwin Dixit ke 2 bete hai aur 1 beti hai... aur vo ho...tum.

[Jahnvi- Ashwin Dixit has 2 sons and 1 daughter... and that is... you.]

(Riya nods a yes in tears, and Jahnvi looks on, shocked at her. Shekhar, too, thinks something, and when they join the dots, he looks at her, shocked.)

Jahnvi- Matlab... matlab tum humari beti ho?

[Jahnvi- It means... it means you are our daughter?]

Riya- Hum iss baat ko prove karne ke liye DNA test karva rahe hai Aunty. Maine aur Veer ne test ke liye samples diye hai. Aur 02 din mein reports aa jayengi. Usse sab prove ho jayega.

[Riya- We are getting a DNA test to prove this, Aunty. Veer and I have given samples for the test. And the reports will come in 02 days. Everything will be proved by that.]

(Jahnvi comes to Riya and cups her face, and they look at each other in tears.)

Jahnvi- Meri beti ho tum... meri Inayat...

[Jahnvi- You are my daughter... my Inayat...]

Riya- Inayat...

Jahnvi (nodding in a yes)- Hmm... my princess... my Inayat.

(Saying this, Jahnvi hugs Riya tightly, to which she hugs Jahnvi back, and they both cry. Manik looks on sadly and rubs Riya's back while Veer supports Shekhar, who is lost in deep thought and holds Jahnvi. After a few moments, Jahnvi breaks the hug, kisses Riya's forehead, and wipes her tears.)

Jahnvi (caressing Riya's face)- My Baby...

Riya (in tears)- Bas 02 din aur rukna hai... uske baad sab clear ho jayega. Uske baad sab theek ho jayega.

[Riya (in tears)- Just have to wait for 02 more days... after that, everything will be clear. After that, everything will be fine.]

Jahnvi- Mujhe 02 din ke baad ka nahi sochna hai bacha. Mujhe bas ye sochna hai ki itne saal baad, aaj mujhe meri princess vapis mili hai. Aur kuch nahi sochna hai mujhe.

[Jahnvi- I don't want to think about it after 02 days, Baby. I just want to believe that after so many years, today, I have got my princess back. I don't want to think of anything else.]

(Jahnvi again kisses Riya's forehead but then feels dizzy, and Riya holds her up, supporting her.)

Riya (concerned)- Aunty, are you okay...

Veer- Mom...

(Veer supports Jahnvi from the back, but they all get shocked as she faints. Veer makes her lie on the couch, and Riya checks her pulse and tries to wake her up.)

Shekhar- Shit. Veer tum Jahnvi ko upar le jao... main doctor ko call karta hu.

[Shekhar- Shit. Veer, you take Jahnvi upstairs... I will call the doctor.]

(Veer carries Jahnvi to her room, and Man-ya follow while Shekhar calls their family doctor.)

(Manik, Veer and Shekhar wait outside the room for the doctor and Riya to come out after checking Jahnvi. After a few moments, Riya and the doctor come out, and the trio approaches her.)

Shekhar- Kya hua usse? Theek hai naa vo?

[Shekhar- What happened to her? She is okay, right?]

Riya- Don't worry, she is fine. She fainted due to excessive stress. And her blood pressure was high. But she is fine now.

(They all sigh in relief at that.)

Doctor- Koyi tension wali baat nahi hai, maine ache se check kar liya hai and Dr Riya was here to assist as well. Everything will be fine. Aap bas unko stress se dur rakhiye.

[Doctor- Don't worry, I've checked thoroughly, and there is nothing to worry about, and Dr Riya was also here to assist. Everything will be fine. You just keep her away from stress.]

Veer- Sure, doctor. Thank you so much.

Doctor- I will take your leave then. Take care.

(The doctor leaves, and Shekhar looks at Riya sadly.)

Shekhar- Riya... mujhe tum se kuch baat karni hai akele mein. Mere saath chalogi?

[Shekhar- Riya... I want to talk to you alone about something. Will you come with me?]

Riya- Of course, Uncle.

(Riya goes with Shekhar while Veer opens the room door slowly and looks sadly at Jahnvi, to which Manik pats his shoulder and the former sighs.)

Manik- She will be fine. Don't worry.

Veer- Hmm.

(Shekhar takes Riya to a room and shuts the door. He removes a box from the cupboard there, and Riya observes all his actions keenly. He then keeps the box on the table, sits on the couch, and pats the space beside him, asking her to sit with him, which she quietly does. He then takes a pair of socks from the box and caresses it softly, teary eyed.)

Shekhar- Jahnvi and I always wanted a girl. Jab Veer humari life mein aaya tab, we were the happiest, and when Jahnvi got pregnant for the second time, we badly wanted it to be a girl. Hum ne sab preparations bhi kar li thi. Ladka hota to bhi koyi issue nahi tha, but hum dono dil se chahte the ki humari princess humare ghar aaye.

[Shekhar- Jahnvi and I always wanted a girl. When Veer came into our lives, we were the happiest, and when Jahnvi got pregnant for the second time, we badly wanted it to be a girl. We had also done all the preparations. There was no issue even if it was a boy, but we both wanted our princess to come to our house.]

(Riya looks at him teary eyed and bites her lips to control her tears.)

Shekhar- Hum ne naam bhi soch liye the, agar beti hogi to hum uska naam Inayat rakhenge.

[Shekhar- We had also thought of names. If it was a daughter, we would name her Inayat.]

(Riya then remembers how Jahnvi addressed her as Inayat some time ago.)

Riya- Aap ke liye bohot mushkil hoga naa sab sambhaalna tab.

[Riya- It would have been difficult for you to handle everything then.]

Shekhar- Bohot mushkil tha. Jahnvi ke liye itne bade accident ke baad stress acha nahi tha. Aur main kuch nahi kar paa raha tha. Veer bhi bacha tha tab aur usse bhi sambhaalna tha mujhe. But mujhe himmat di meri princess ne. Pata hai, jab vo paida bhi nahi huyi thi, tab se vo mujhe pehchaan leti thi. Main jab bhi usse baat karta tha to vo kick karti thi. Jahnvi ki saari cravings mere taste ke according hoti thi, aur hume pata tha ki meri beti bilkul mujh par jaane wali hai.

[Shekhar- It was very difficult. Stress was not good for Jahnvi after such a big accident. And I couldn't do anything. Veer was also a kid then, and I had to care for him too. But my princess gave me courage. Do you know, she used to recognize me from the time she was not even born. Whenever I used to talk to her, she used to kick. Jahnvi's cravings were according to my taste, and we knew my daughter would be just like me.]

(He then takes baby clothes from the box and shows them to her, and she caresses them softly while Shekhar kisses them.)

Riya- Bohot pyaar karte the aap apni beti se.

[Riya- You loved your daughter very much.]

Shekhar- Sab se zyaada. Main uske liye kuch bhi kar sakta tha. Meri Princess, meri biwi aur mera superman, ye sab hi meri zindagi the aur humesha rahenge.

[Shekhar- The most. I would do anything for her. My princess, wife, and Superman were all my life and always will be.]

Riya (changing the topic)- Veer apne aap ko superman samajhta tha?

[Riya (changing the topic)- Veer considered himself a Superman?]

(Shekhar chuckles at this with teary eyes and keeps the clothes away.)

Shekhar- Vo to kehta tha ki Papa main superman hoon to main apni behen ki raksha karunga. Aur kisi ko usse pareshaan nahi karne dunga. Aur agar kisi ne usse pareshaan kiya naa to main usse bohot marunga.

[Shekhar- He used to say, Dad, I am a Superman, so I will protect my sister. And I will not let anyone bother her. And if someone does, I will beat them up.]

(Shekhar sighs deeply, and Riya looks at him.)

Shekhar- Par hum sab ki khushiyan cheen li uss Ashwin Dixit ne. Apne lalach ke liye, apni uss so called reputation ke liye usne hum sab ki zindagi barbaad kar di.

[Shekhar- But that Ashwin Dixit took away our happiness. For his greed, for his so called reputation, he ruined our lives.]

(More tears roll down Riya's eyes as she remembers all that Ashwin did. Shekhar then removes some toys from the box and shows them to Riya.)

Shekhar- Ye sab hum ne apni Inayat ke liye liya tha. Hum se to wait hi nahi ho raha tha unn 09 mahino mein. Jahnvi kehti thi ki beti ke aane se pehle hi main aise behave kar raha hoon... Jab vo sach mein aa jayegi to mera kya hoga.

[Shekhar- We had taken all this for our Inayat. We were not even able to wait for those 09 months. Jahnvi used to say that even before my daughter's arrival, I was behaving like this... What will happen when she actually comes.]

(They both chuckle a little at this, and then Shekhar sighs sadly.)

Shekhar (slowly, in a sad voice)- Par vo to aayi hi nahi.

[Shekhar (slowly, in a sad voice)- But she never came.]

(Riya clenches her fist tightly and looks on at Shekhar as a tear rolls down his eye.)

Riya- Aap please roiye mat... Sab... sab theek ho jayega... Inn 02 din ke baad... Everything will get better...

[Riya- Please don't cry... Everything... Everything will be fine... After these 02 days... Everything will get better...]

(Shekhar sighs and keeps everything back in the box. He then turns towards Riya and holds her hand with both hands, and she looks at him.)

Shekhar- Mujhe nahi pata ki 02 din baad kya result aane wala hai. Agar ye confirm hota hai ki tum sach mein... Ki tum humari princess ho... To hum logon se zyaada khush iss duniya mein koyi nahi hoga. Par agar aisa nahi hota hai...

[Shekhar- I don't know what result will come after 02 days. If it is confirmed that you are really... that you are our princess... So no one in this world will be happier than us. But if it doesn't...]

(Riya looks at him teary eyed, expecting something worse, but his following words shock her.)

Shekhar- Tab bhi iss duniya mein hum se zyaada khush koyi nahi hoga.

[Shekhar- Even then, no one will be happier than us in this world.]

Riya (confused)- How...

Shekhar- Matlab ye ki aise koyi condition nahi hai ki agar test reports positive aayengi to hi tum humari beti ban sakti ho. I really hope ki test results positive aaye par agar nahi bhi aate hai to... Koyi baat nahi. Uske bina bhi tum humari beti rahogi. Tumhe usse koyi problem to nahi hai naa beta?

[Shekhar- It means that there is no such condition that if the test reports come positive, then only you can become our daughter. I hope the test results come positive, but even if they don't, then... no problem. Even without that, you will be our daughter. You don't have any problem with that, do you?]

(Riya looks at Shekhar in tears and moves her head in a no, biting her lips not to cry.)

Riya (slowly)- Koyi problem nahi hai.

[Riya (slowly)- No problem at all.]

(Shekhar initially smiles a little, looking at her, then caresses her chin softly as she bit her lips.)

Shekhar- Agar mann mein kuch ho to usse express kar dena chahiye. Aise karne se to bas lips hi kharaab honge, stress kam nahi hoga.

[Shekhar- If something is in mind, it should be expressed. By doing this, only the lips will be spoiled, and the stress will not reduce.]

Riya (chuckling)- I don't know... Kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai ki main kya kahun aap se. Sab kuch... Sab itna complicated ho gaya hai aur kisi ek insaan ki vajhe se itne log hurt ho rahe hai.

[Riya (chuckling)- I don't know... I have no idea what to say to you. Everything... Everything has become so complicated, and so many people are getting hurt because of one person.]

Shekhar- To iss mein se tum ne kya kya kiya hai?

[Shekhar- So what have you done out of this?]

Riya (confused)- Matlab?

[Riya (confused)- What do you mean?]

Shekhar- Jo bhi kiya Ashwin ne kiya, jo bhi galti hai saari uski hai, to tumhe kyu itna stress lena hai? Pareshaan hone ka time to ab uska hai naa. To tumhe stress lene ki koyi zarurat nahi hai. Okay?

[Shekhar- Whatever Ashwin has done, whatever mistakes he has made are all his, so why must you take so much stress? Now is his time to get upset, isn't it? So you don't need to be stressed. Okay?]

(Riya looks at him and nods her head in a yes, and he sighs in relief.)

Shekhar- Vaise agar main tum se kuch puchu to tumhe mere saath share karne mein koyi problem to nahi hogi naa?

[Shekhar- If I ask you something, you will not have any problem sharing it with me, will you?]

Riya- Nahi bilkul nahi. Aap jo chahe puch sakte ho.

[Riya- No, not at all. You can ask whatever you want.]

Shekhar (sighing)- Beta tum ne abhi neeche kaha naa ki Ashwin ne humari beti ko kidnap kiya aur apni frustration nikaali uss par. And itne saalon se tum uski beti ban ke rahi ho uske saath. To...

[Shekhar (sighing)- You just said downstairs that Ashwin kidnapped our daughter and took out our frustration on her. And for so many years, you have been with him as his daughter. So...]

(Riya looks at Shekhar, already sure about what he wants to ask.)

Riya- Aap ye puchna chahte ho ki Ashwin ne kya kiya mere saath... Uss frustration ki vajhe se?

[Riya- You want to ask, what did Ashwin do to me... because of that frustration?]

(Shekhar takes a deep breath and then nods in a yes.)

Shekhar- Koyi compulsion nahi hai beta. Agar tum comfortable nahi ho to hum ye baat yahi khatam kar sakte hai. It's okay.

[Shekhar- There is no compulsion, dear. If you are not comfortable, then we can end this matter here. It's okay.]

Riya (teary eyed)- No... It's okay. I am okay sharing it with you, Uncle.

Shekhar- Nahi nahi. Ab to Uncle ki jagha tum mujhe Papa bhi bula sakti ho. Or even Dad. Jo tumhe acha lage vo bula lo hmm.

[Shekhar- No, no. Now you can call me Papa instead of Uncle. Or even Dad. You can address me as whatever you like, hmm.]

(Tears roll down Riya's eyes, and Shekhar softly wipes them away from her face.)

Shekhar- Rona nahi hai Bache. Sab theek hai. Aur tumhare Papa hai naa ab tumhare saath, koyi haath bhi nahi laga sakta meri beti ko. Rona band karo chalo.

[Shekhar- Don't cry, baby. Everything is fine. And your father is with you now. No one can touch my daughter. Stop crying now.]

(Riya wipes her tears and takes a deep breath to control her emotions. She then starts telling Shekhar about her past- her relations with the Dixits, their behaviour towards her, everything they did to hurt her, how she then met Manik, how they fell in love, and everything that followed. On the other side, Shekhar has fisted his hand tightly to control his anger on listening to everything the Dixits did with her. He takes a few deep breaths and then looks at Riya.)

Shekhar- Unn logon ko jo karna tha vo log kar chuke hai. Ab time aa gaya hai unko iss sab ki sazaa dene ka. And don't worry okay, ek ek cheez ki sazaa milegi unn sab ko. Aur Shekhar Mehra se koyi nahi bacha sakta unko ab. Bilkul stress nahi lena hmm. Hum sab tum se bohot pyaar karte hain aur humesha tumhare saath hai.

[Shekhar- Those people have done what they had to do. Now the time has come to punish them for all this. And don't worry, okay? All of them will be punished for every single thing. And now, none can save them from Shekhar Mehra. Don't stress at all, hmm. We all love you very much and are always with you.]

(Riya nods in a yes, and he keeps his hand on her head, pats her head softly, and later wraps his arm around her shoulder and takes her into a hug. She, too, hugs him back, rests her head on his chest, and sighs in relief.)

(When Shekhar took Riya with him, Manik and Veer settled down on the couch in the lobby, and Manik started speaking.)

Manik- Tu theek hai Veer?

[Manik- Are you okay, Veer?]

(Veer holds his head in stress, and Manik looks worried for him.)

Veer- Agar 02 din baad results positive aaye to main kya karunga Manik yaar? I will be a failure in the name of a brother. Meri behen ne itna suffer kiya aur mujhe pata bhi nahi tha.

[Veer- If the results come positive after 02 days, what will I do, Manik? I will be a failure in the name of a brother. My sister suffered so much, and I didn't even know.]

Manik- Veer ye jo kuch bhi tab hua isme kisi ki galti nahi hai. Naa teri, naa uncle yaa aunty ki aur naa hi kisi aur ki. Ye jo kuch bhi kiya hai vo uss ek insaan ne kiya hai, aur vo bhi sirf apne fayde ke liye. Aur tum logon ko to pata bhi nahi tha ki ye sab hua hai.

[Manik- Veer, whatever happened then, it is not anyone's fault. Not yours, uncle's, Aunty's, or anyone else's. That one person has done everything and only for his own benefit. And you all didn't even know that all this happened.]

Veer- Mann to kar raha hai ki uss Ashwin ko abhi ke abhi maar dalu. Himmat kaise huyi uski ye sab karne ki. Bhagwaan samajhta hai kya vo apne aap ko?

[Veer- All I want is to kill that Ashwin right now. How dare he do all this. Does he consider himself to be God?]

Manik- He is a devil actually, Veer. Aur usse lagta hai ki harr baar jo vo chahega vo hoga. But this time, he will lose. Bohot ho gaye hai uske games. Main itni mushkil se rok kar baitha hoon apne aap ko inn 02 din ke liye. Jab bhi uski baat hoti hai to mann karta hai ki abhi ke abhi sabak sikha doon usko. But I don't want to take law into my hands. Tabhi jo jaise chal raha hai vaise hone de raha hoon.

[Manik- He is a devil, actually, Veer. And he thinks that every time what he wants will happen. But this time, he will lose. Enough of his games. I am holding myself back with such difficulty for these 02 days. Whenever it comes to him, I want to teach him a lesson now. But I want to avoid taking the law into my hands. That's why I am letting it happen as it is going on.]

Veer- Bachega to vo bilkul nahi ab. Saari tyaari ho gayi hai usko aur uski uss family ko jail bhejne ki. Ab nahi bach payega vo. Himmat kaise huyi uski ye ghatiya harkatein karne ki. Aur usne Riya ko uski family se durr kar diya. What the hell man.

[Veer- He will not be saved at all now. Everything is ready to send him and his family to jail. Now he will not be able to save himself. How dare he do this heinous act. And he distanced Riya from her family. What the hell, man.]

Manik- Haan haan. Teri aur Riya ki to team bani huyi hai naa.

[Manik- Yes, yes. You and Riya are a team, aren't you?]

Veer- Ye team team mat shuru kar yaar Manik. Pehle hi Ridhaan aur Riya ke saath ye conversation kar chuka hoon main.

[Veer- Don't start this team talk, Manik. I already have had this conversation with Ridhaan and Riya.]

Manik- Hahaha. Koyi baat nahi. Tu ek saath aane de sab ko. Phir decide karte hai teams. Aur Mukti and Cabir bhi hai abhi to. Hum unki choice bhi dekh lenge.

[Manik- Hahaha. No problem. You let everyone come together. Let's then decide the teams. And Mukti and Kabir are there too. We will see their choices too.]

Veer- Hahaha. We will see.

(They both look at each other and chuckle playfully.)

(At Dixit House, Anita is sitting in the hall, reading a magazine, when Harshad enters the house, his face pale and tension clearly visible on his face.)

Anita- Harshad. What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?

Harshad- Mom, where's Dad?

Anita- He is in the room. But what's wrong?

(Harshad starts going upstairs when Ashwin comes down, and Harshad goes to him, and Anita, too, comes after him.)

Anita- Harshad hua kya hai? Bolo kuch.

[Anita- Harshad, what has happened? Say something.]

Harshad- Humari saari factories pe police raid kar rahi hai Mom and Dad. 7 mein se 5 jagha se call aa chuka hai. Aur...

[Harshad- The police are raiding all our factories, Mom and Dad. The call has been received from 5 out of 7 places. And...]

Ashwin (annoyed and worried)- And what damn it?

(Harshad is about to speak when the police enter the house, and the ACP speaks up.)

ACP- Everyone will stay in their places. You all are under arrest.

(Ashwin and Anita's faces turn pale, and Ashwin looks back at the ACP to find his police team standing there, with Man-ya, Veer and Shekhar glaring at him angrily.)
