Aniruddh and Saurav were apologizing to Shalini.

Harsha (whispering): Vidyut ek minute bache.

(Harsha (whispering): Vidyut, wait a minute)

Vidyut broke the hug. Harsha kissed his forehead and stood up. She went towards Ruhi and sat beside her. Looking at Harsha. Aniruddh and Saurav got quiet.

Harsha: Hello Ruhi. I am Harsha.

Ruhi saw her and nodded, not knowing what to say. Aniruddh wanted to stop Harsha but he knew she ain't gonna listen to him when it comes to kids. She loves kids a lot and can't see them sad or crying. Shalini smiled. She saw Aniruddh, Saurav and Vidyut. She felt sorry for them. She always blames herself for not raising her son with good morals.

Harsha (sat on knees in front of Ruhi): Baby shant ho jao. Aese nahi rote shant Okay?

(Harsha (sat on her knees in front of Ruhi): Calm down baby. Don't cry, okay?)

Ruhi (tears brimming in her eyes): Mar jana kya hota hai? Meri mumma mar gayi?

(Ruhi (tears brimming in her eyes): What's death? My mother died?)

Harsha (wiped her tears): Pata hai god ke pass kitne sare kaam hote hai?

(Harsha (wiped her tears): You know right, god has many things to work on?)

Ruhi nodded.

Harsha: God ke pass bahut sare kaam the to unko help chaye hoti hai na. Isliye unhone aapke mumma ko bhulaya hai.

(Harsha: As God has many things to work on. He needs help. That's why your mother went to help him)

Ruhi (sobbing): Why my mumma? Itne sare people hai na unko bhulate god.

(Ruhi (sobbing): Why my mother? There are many people to help him)

Shalini (sighed): Aese nahi bolte. God ko pata hai na humari Ruhi bahut strong hai. Ruhi ke pass to hai na hum sab. Ruhi sab se strong baby hai. Isliye god ne Ruhi ki mumma ko bhulaya.

(Shalini (sighed): Don't say it like this. God knows our Ruhi is strongest. We all are with Ruhi. That's he called your mother)

Ruhi (teary eyes): Main mumma ko tang karti thi. Isliye god ne bhulaya mumma ko? Mujhe punishment dene ke liye.

(Ruhi (teary eyes): I used to trouble my mother? That's why god took her? To punish me?)

Aniruddh, Saurav and Vidyut's hearts pinched. The same words Vidyut spoke when they lost their mother. Ruhi's Vulnerable state is similar to Vidyut's. Vidyut had his brothers and grandmother by his side. Ruhi doesn't have anyone with her. Her grandmother is trying but for Ruhi, she is a stranger. Saurav and Aniruddh left from there. They went into the room.

Harsha (caressing her hair): Na Bache. Acha tu mujhe bata tumhare pass doll hai?

(Harsha (caressing her hair): No baby. Okay! Tell me do you have a doll?)

Ruhi nodded.

Harsha: Aur teddy bear? (And teddy bear?)

Ruhi nodded, showing her what she had in her hand.

Harsha: To Ruhi ke pass doll bhi hai aur teddy bear bhi but Ruhi sirf teddy bear ko hi kyun hug karke baithi hai? Doll ko kyun nahi?

(Harsha: So, Ruhi has both a Doll and a teddy bear but why Ruhi is hugging a teddy bear? Why not a doll?)

Ruhi (looking at teddy bear): Doll ko hug nahi hoti properly.

(Ruhi (looking at teddy bear): We can't cuddle with the doll)

Harsha: Aur jab hairstyle karna ho to kiska karte ho? Doll ke teddy bear?

(Harsha: When you have to make hairstyle. Whom do you use? Doll or Teddy bear?)

Ruhi: Doll.

Harsha: Dono ke pass different qualities hai na. So, do you want them accordingly?

(Harsha: Both have different qualities. So, do you want them accordingly?)

Ruhi nodded.

Harsha: Vaise hi god ne hum ko bhi alag alag qualities di hai. Aapke mumma ke pass special quality hogi to god ne unko bhulaya help ke liye.

(Harsha: Same way. We too have different qualities. Your mother had those special qualities. That's why god had to take her)

Vidyut sat there silently, listening to their talks. He wasn't looking at anyone. Ruhi nodded, understanding.

Harsha (wiping her tears): Don't cry. Kuch kha lo. Main khilau?

(Harsha (wiping her tears): Don't cry. Have something. Shall I feed you?)

Shalini: Main khila deti hoon tu Ani aur Saurav ko dekh. Vo log ko sambhalna jaruri hai.

(Shalini: I will feed her. You go and check on Ani and Saurav. They too need care)

Harsha: Ji dadi. (Okay Grandma)

Shalini: Vid bache aa jaa mere pass baith.

(Shalini: Vid come here sit with me)

Vidyut (standing up): Main room me hoon dadi.

(Vidyut (standing up): I am in my room Grandma)

Shalini (requesting): Aa jaa na bache. Baith mere pass na.

(Shalini (requesting: Come, baby. Sit here, with me)

Vidyut couldn't deny her request. He sat beside her. Harsha served them. She took for Saurav and Aniruddh and then walked into the room. Both were in Saurav's room.

Shalini was feeding Vidyut and Ruhi. Both were eating silently.

With Aniruddh, Saurav.

As Harsha walked in. She saw both of them silently sitting. Lost in their thoughts.

Harsha: Ani, Saurav chalo kuch kha lo.

(Harsha: Ani, Saurav have something)

She said sitting in front of them.

Saurav: Bukh nahi hai bhabhi.

(Saurav: I don't want sister-in-law)

Harsha: Thora sa kha le.

(Harsha: Have a little at least)

Saurav: Nahi bhabhi- (No sister-in-law-)

Harsha (cuts him): Chup karke kha raha hai ya kaan kheechu?

(Harsha (cuts him): Shut up and have it. Or do you want me to punish you?)

She took a bite near his mouth. He ate it.

Aniruddh: Tum kyun uske pass gayi usse baat karne?

(Aniruddh: Why you went to talk with her?)

Harsha (shocked): Ani?

Aniruddh: Don't you know who is she?

Harsha: I do know. Humanity pata hai tumhe? Thori der pehle us bachi ne apni maa ko khoya. Tum samajh bhi rahe ho uski situation? Jisne galat ki usko jaa kar saza do. Bachi ko kyun deni?

(Harsha: I do know. Do you know about humanity? A few hours ago, she lost her mother. Can't you understand her situation? The one who betrayed you can punish him. Why a child?)

Aniruddh: But ye final hai vo yaha nahi rahegi. Main usko nahi dekh sakta apni aankho ke samne.

(Aniruddh: But that's final, she can't live here. I can't face her)

Harsha: You know what bade bhai tum ho but maturity Vidyut me hai. Even though he is a teen. (You know what, Vidyut is more mature than you even though you are the elder brother)

Saurav: Mere mind me abhi bhi ye question hai Vidyut ko pata kaise chala? (One question is roaming in my mind, how did he get to know?)

Aniruddh: Exactly aur haan Harsha... He is just a teen. Usko vo phase yaad tak nahi hoga jisse humne face kiya. What we felt.

(Aniruddh: Exactly and Harsha... He is just a teen. He doesn't even remember the phase we have gone through. What we felt)

Harsha: Nahi Ani... Vo tab 3-4 saal nahi tha but he was 8. He too felt that pain. Usko bhi yaad hoga. 100% tum jaise nahi samajha hoga but apne brain ke according he too felt it. Aur vo mature hai. Seedha decision declare nahi kar raha. Try to understand her pain. Apne sath rakhna ya nahi ek point hai but at least have sympathy for a child. Aur uska nahi soch sakte to at least apni dadi ka socho.

(Harsha: No Ani... He wasn't 3-4 years old but 8. He too felt that pain. He too remembers it. Maybe not 100% like you guys do but he does in his way. He is mature. Don't directly jump on a decision. Try to understand her pain. If you want to keep her with us or not is one point but at least have some sympathy for the child. At least think about your grandma)

Aniruddh: Dadi ko bhi samajhna chaye. humari state. Hum kya go through kar rahe hai.

(Aniruddh: Grandma can try to understand our state of mind. What we are going through)

Harsha: Dono sab shanti se socho and decide karo. (Be calm then think and take a decision)

Aniruddh got quiet. So, Saurav.

Harsha fed Aniruddh and Saurav. Both silently ate their dinner without further arguments.

After dinner, Harsha went out.

Saurav: Bhai kya kare? (What to do brother?)

Aniruddh: Mujhe kuch nahi samajh raha hai. (I can't understand anything)

Aniruddh and Saurav sat there thinking.

After dinner, Vidyut went to his room. Harsha and Shalini took Ruhi to Shalini's room and got her fresh.

Shalini: Tu bhi aaram kar Harsha. Main sambhalti hoon Ruhi ko.

(Shalini: Harsha, you too take a rest. I will take care of Ruhi)

Harsha nodded and left. Shalini made Ruhi sleep.
