Inside the house, Sanjot fell on her knees as her energy gave up and loud whails of pain of separation from her Karan just escaped her throat. Without caring about anything or anyone, Dilpreet just marched inside the house being followed by Harmanpreet. While Parminder, Rana and Nimrit, who was the happiest among all, were with Sanjot. Both Parminder and Rana held Sanjot from either side and wanted to console her but had lack of words.

Sanjot (crying hysterically) - Meraaaa puttttarrrrrrr!

Dilpreet sat on the bed with a thud and had his head in between his palms. Whatever just happened was definitely a stir for him too. He never ever wanted to see Karan but today, as Karan stood in front of him, he so wanted to get soft and hug him but being bound by the past, half-willingly he had to thrash him out of the house. Those tears in Karan's eyes were solely because of him and even his wife, his Sanjot's terrible condition is just because of him and that was hurting Dilpreet somewhere.

Harmanpreet - Preeto...

Harmanpreet wanted to make Dilpreet understand things a little bit before he could complete himself, Dilpreet showed him his palm and pointed towards his head indicating that he's having a headache.

Outside in the verandah, Sanjot who's been crying hysterically as she couldn't comprehend what just happened. Everything was going well, her puttar was near her and happiness prevailed all over but all of a sudden, a storm changed everything. Dilpreet's arrival turned the tables and now, everyone's faces which held wide smiles, contain thick tears.

But all of a sudden, something came in her mind and she stood up abruptly and wiped her tears harshly surprising Parminder, Rana and Nimrit.

Parminder (concerned) - Ki hoya behenji? Kithhe jaa rahe ho?

Without saying anything, Sanjoy just marched towards the room where Dilpreet was already there, and was followed by Parminder, Rana and Nimrit.

Storming in the room, red-eyed she stared angrily at Dilpreet making both him and Harmanpreet surprised. Seeing the angst in her eyes, Dilpreet stood up and was about to hold Sanjot's shoulders when she angrily pushed his hands away.

Sanjot (yelling) - Haath na laga lena mainu aaj! Aaj ta Sardarji, aapne hadein paar kardi.

Dilpreet - O sardarni, shaant ho ja. Bai mere kol!

Sanjot - Mar gayi aapka Sardarni!

Sanjot just yelled these words on Dilpreet's face and just the mentioning of her death, made his nostrils flared. Before he could say anything, Sanjot caught a hold of the collar of his kurta making their audiences gasp.

Sanjot (holding his collars) - Aisa bhi kya gunaah kar diya tha uss bache na jo aapne usko ghar se aise bahar hi fek diya! Kya kuchh nahi lagta vo aapka?! Arre sardarji, tuadda apna hi khoon hai vo!

Dilpreet - Nahi hai vo mera khoon, nahi lagta vo mera kuchh! Vo sirf ek gaddar hai, ek gaddar! Sab logo ko bhulkar, har ek vaade ko bhulkar jab vo bus gaya hai shehar vich, to fir kyu aaya itne saal baad yaha pind vich?! Koi zaroorat nahi hai uski yaha, fir aaya to fir se nikaal fekuga use yaha se!

Saying so, Dilpreet pushed Sanjot's hands away and just sat on the bed as if he doesn't gives a damn about the situation. Sanjot was too shocked when Dilpreet uttered such words about Karan. While she couldn't believe what just happened, but without thinking much she stormed out the house but not before instructing everyone to not to follow her and the anger in her voice made everyone obey her order.

With eyes still watered and impressions of tears still on her face, Sanjot started going towards MoRan's hotel, that too barefoot. Right now, she wasn't concerned about her bruised feet but was much more concerned for her Karan. She knows how he felt when Dilpreet uttered those sharp words filled with hatred to him, that too in front of Monami.

Sanjot (in mind) - Na jaane kya haal ho raha hoga mere puttar ka! Ro-rokar behaal ho raha hoga!

In the hotel room, Karan's condition wasn't different from what Sanjot guessed. He laid in Monami's lap and was just crying while holding her waist. Monami felt extremely pity on the soul in front of her but was just helpless. She wants to go right now and confront Darji and make him realize what all sins he has committed by hurting these two hearts, but she knows, she has to act calmly and just one unthoughtful move would worsen things.  

Monami (caressing Karan's hair) - Bus Karan bus, shaant ho jao. Please rona band karo ab!

Monami's words had no impact on Karan, and he just kept on crying. All those harsh and bitter words that escaped Dilpreet for Karan kept ringing in his ears and he wasn't able to forget them even if he wanted to. Those arrows of words have wounded Karan's heart very deeply and the cure is still unknown. Monami's eyes too teared up seeing how vulnerable he was at the moment. 

Karan (sobbing) - Ky..kya main itna bu..ra hoon ki mere apne Daarji hi mu..mujhse nafrat...

Not being able to complete his statement due to his intense cries, Karan again hid his face in Monami's waist and just kept crying. The impact of Dilpreet's harsh venomous words overpowered Monami's soothing ones as Monami's words felt inaudible to his ears. Realizing so, Monami just pulled him closer and hid her in her chest, giving him his space to cry and let out all that pain. 

In a few minutes of limping while walking with bruised feet, Sanjot finally reached the hotel where MoRan were staying and magically, her already swollen feet got the power to climb those three floors just to see her grandson, as the lift wasn't available at the moment plus, she's afraid of it.

Karan was sobbing in Monami's embrace with his head on her chest and Monami was just muttering sweet words in his ear while controlling herself from breaking down. And that's when they heard a loud knock on their door. Sharing a look, Monami stood up to open the door while Karan harshly wiped his tears and sat straight.

As Monami opened the door, she was surprised to see Sanjot there as Monami didn't expect her to be here, that too alone. Sanjot entered their room and as soon as she saw Karan, Sanjot immediately rushed to him and engulfed him in a warm, much-needed hug and unconsciously, tears started falling from their eyes.

Karan - Beeji..beeji, mujhe maaf kardo Beeji! Main aapka gunehgar hoon! Saza do mujhe...

Karan cried terribly and held Sanjot's hand and started hitting and slapping herself from her hand but very quickly, Sanjot pulled back her hand and just showered kisses all over Karan to calm him down.

Sanjot - Na puttar, tu ro na. Teri koi galti na hai!

Monami stood in the corner witnessing the power of someone's cruel words. She has never seen such broken side of Karan and realized that there's much more to him than she knows. Monami just felt pity on the duo in front of her and now, she was more than determined to make Dilpreet realize that Karan isn't selfish and to reunite them all.

It was already dark and now, Karan was much calmed down as his head was in Sanjot's lap and he was bound but a very restless sleep. Though he was calm around his grandmother, but his heart was yearning for his peace. Monami sat beside them and the pain and sadness in Sanjot's eyes was very easily understood by Monami, but she was just helpless.

In Harmanpreet's haveli, everyone was wandering in the verandah being tensed as Dilpreet has already gone to his house and they're now worried for Sanjot. 

Rana - Beeji ko gaye kitni der ho gayi si. Shaam se raat ho gayi, pata nahi kado aayengi Beeji!

Harmanpreet (worriedly) - Haan Rane, mainnu laga tha ki parjayiji jaldi aa jaengi lekin, ab to bahot der ho gayi si. 

Everyone was tensed for Sanjot. Though they already know that she must be with Karan only but still, they won't sit at calm until they'll see her. Harmanpreet made Rana sit on one of the chairs and caressed his shoulder, giving him some support. Rana was busy being stressed when Dilpreet entered, surprising everyone. Seeing him, everyone stood up and Nimrit who was faking to be worried, smirked internally as according to her, his arrival would lead to some conflict. 

Parminder - Bhaisahab, tussi ithhe?

Dilpreet - Hanji, kafi der ho gayi si, Sanjot abhi tak aayi na?

Dilpreet's voice held concern for his wife and the way he was constantly looking here and there was something strange for him to do. When he went back to his house, the strong personality who always stands strong in the hardest of storms, broke into bitter tears. Today, his beloved grandson was right in front of his eyes but to his dismay, he couldn't hold him in his arms or couldn't look at him till his heart's content. The moment Dilpreet looked at Karan, he just didn't see the one who has returned, he also looked at the one he lost. Those mischievous eyes held maturity, that innocent face had scars of responsibilities, and that little boy had grown into a man. But one Dilpreet took his first step towards Karan, his heart broke as all those insults rang in his mind that he had to face behind Karan, and he remember all those mishaps that had happened to everyone just because Karan chose to not to be a doctor. He still loves Karan but his afraid to admit but his heart is still worried for how Karan would be. 

Rana - Hanji Daarji, der to kaafi ho gayi si. Tussi kaho to main jau Beeji nu dhoondne?

Dilpreet (Murmuring) - Dhoondna kya hai?! Hogi usi dhokebaaz ke kol! (Loudly) O Rane, le chal mujhe jaha bhi hai teri Beeji. 

Rana - Daarji, tussi rehne do, itni raat ho gayi hai. Main hi jaata hoon Beeji ko lene. 

Though Rana said in concern for Dilpreet only but just one glare from Dilpreet was enough to make Rana shut up and in no time, both the men started walking on the dark road of the pind that was just lit up due to the street lights. The stroll to the hotel was silent. Although there were many unasked questions between Rana and Dilpreet, but both mentally chose to let them remain unasked only. 

In a few minutes, both reached the hotel and when Dilpreet scanned the hotel from top to bottom, the exterior look seemed so luxurious screaming about how much wealth Karan has earned. Making a face at it, as Dilpreet and Rana somehow reached to MoRan's room, Dilpreet with a very hard face, signalled Rana to knock.

As Rana did so, everyone in the room was quite surprised as they hadn't expected anyone to be there at this hour. Monami and Karan shared a look and had thought it to be someone from room service.

Monami (from inside) - Please don't disturb, we don't need any room service.

Listening to Monami, Dilpreet was quite embarrassed as he had thought that they had knocked on someone else's door and something else is going on in there. Rana and Dilpreet shared a look and Dilpreet signalled Rana to move ahead.

Dilpreet - O Rane, ye koi galat kamra hai. Ae ta koi janani (lady) bol rahi si. Chal, aage chal.

Rana - Nahi nahi Daarji, ye bilkul sahi kamra hai. Ye Monami par...

Rana paused in his words as he wasn't sure if he should reveal about Monami to Dilpreet now or not. In his views, it might affect things more and Dilpreet might get angrier from Karan and so, Rana decided to keep shush in this matter.

Rana (hesitantly) - A vo..Daarji, ek baar aur darwaaza khadkake dekh lete hain.

Though Rana suggested to knock once again on the door of the room as he knew that it's MoRan's room only. But before they could do anything, due to the noise that was coming from outside, Monami herself opened the door to check and was surprised upon seeing Dilpreet & Rana there. 

Monami - Aa..aap dono yaha?

Hearing Monami's shocked voice, Karan & Sanjot came, and their reaction wasn't any different from Monami's. They both were equally shocked by looking at Dilpreet & Rana as they didn't expect him there. Saying nothing, Monami gave way to Dilpreet and as he entered, he just held Sanjot's hand and tried to take her from there when Karan stood in front of him with both his hands joint, with eyes filled with guilt and cheeks stained with tears. 

Karan - Daarji, main jaanta hoon main aapka gunehgaar hoon, aap jo chahe saza do mujhe lekin aise nafrat to na karo mujhse. Main tuadda apna puttar si!

Karan's voice held that unusual sadness and eyes had already brimmed with tears. Today, he's in front of his Daarji who's he been missing since 5 years but see the misfortune, he can't go close to him or hug him. Karan was about to speak further when while looking down, Dilpreet showed him his hand and didn't let him complete. All this scene was witnessed by Sanjot, Rana and Monami and it was really irking Monami how Dilpreet wasn't letting Karan keep his view. Though she wanted to rebel but somewhere deep down, she knew that it'll only worsen things.

Dilpreet (not even looking at Karan) - O na ji na, main aithhe sirf apni votti nu lene aaya si. Chal Sanjotte!

Dilpreet was about to drag Sanjit from there along with him while the way Dilpreet was looking down and was avoiding looking at Karan, broke his heart. Is Karan so bad in Dilpreet's eyes that looking at him once would be a sin for him?

Karan and Monami shared a look and don't know how but the weak, vulnerable Karan got his powers and confidence from his lady beside and Karan who couldn't gather guts to even be in front of Dilpreet, held Sanjot's other hand, stopping both Dilpreet and her in their tracks.

Karan (while looking down) - Happy Birthday Beeji!

Listening to Karan, both Dilpreet and Sanjot stopped in their steps and taking a second, they realized that in all the chaos, they forgot that the clock has struck 12 and it's Sanjot's birthday. Even Rana was also a little guilty that how could he forget his Beeji's birthday, while Monami stood there surprised. Karan went to Sanjot and hugged her tight while tears flowed from both of their eyes. After 5 years of being away, this was the first time Sanjot had her puttar in front of her eyes on her birthday. While Karan was hugging his Beeji tight, Monami & Rana had tears of happiness in their eyes as they've seen their condition without each other respectively and know how much they've been wanting to be with each other. 

Sanjot (while crying) - Tujhe yaad tha puttar?

Karan - Kaise bhool sakta hoon Beeji, tera din hai ye..ye to marte dam tak nahi bhool sakta. 

Sanjot - Na, aisi baatein na kar. 

Listening that till now, Karan hasn't forgotten her birthday, while Sanjot felt elated, even Dilpreet was quite surprised upon that. He had thought that Karan must always be involved in his lavish life and would never even think about them but Karan's statement about not forgetting Sanjot's birthday changed Dilpreet's mind about it. By all the sweet and emotional talks that Sanjot & Karan were having, Dilpreet was getting irked and irritated as he didn't want his wife to talk more and more to some 'stranger'.

Dilpreet (gripping Sanjot's hand) - Sanjotte, chal! Bahot ho gayi bekaar ki baatein. Aise anjaan logo ko pareshan nahi karte. 

Saying so, Dilpreet just dragged Sanjot from there and didn't even hear a single word that she uttered. Even Dilpreet's heart ached when he dragged Sanjot forcefully from somewhere she wanted to be. She so much wanted to be with her grandson, but the moment Dilpreet's strong wall breaks a little, all the insults and taunts he had to listen 5 years back just made those walls stronger. As Rana, Monami and Karan watched Dilpreet & Sanjot leaving from there, their reaction was just too shocked. 

Karan was too stunned to speak when he was called "anjaan" by his own Daarji and he felt something breaking inside him. Both Monami & Rana looked towards Karan with pity eyes who kept staring at Dilpreet & Sanjot's retreating figure. With a thud, Karan sat on the bed and his silence was just too loud. Gulping down their nervousness, Rana & Monami tip-toed came out of the room and closed the door behind so that Karan can't hear their conversation. 

Rana (emotionally) - Monami parjayiji, ye kya ho gaya?

Monami (tensed) - Pata nahi bhaisahab, pata nahi kab sab theek hoga. 

Rana - Parjayiji, Beeji ko to Daarji le gaye, aap kaho to main yahi ruk jau? Karan bhaisahab ko sambhalne mein madad ho jayegi. 

Monami smiled at Rana's kindness but only she knows what Karan must be needing right now. Due to whatever happened just a minute ago and how Dilpreet just ignored Karan has definitely affected him a lot and no one can handle him better than Monami. 

Monami - Thanks for your help bhaisahab, but Karan ko main sambhal lungi. Aap please ghar par Beeji ko sambhal lijiyega, I know vo bahot hurt hongi.

Rana - Chalo theek hai parjayiji, aap apna aur bhaisahab ka dhyaan rakhna. Main chalda!

Saying so, Rana left from the hotel being nervous about what will happen at home. Taking a deep breath in, Monami entered their room only to find Karan lying on the bed, covering a blanket till his head. Monami slowly moved closer and laid next to him on the bed. She already knew what all must be going on in his mind and how he must be feeling after what all happened. But today, she was also finding it difficult to talk to him as he must be the most broken right now.

Very slowly, Monami moved closer to Karan and very swiftly, moved in the blanket. Karan's eyes were closed but his breaths were dense.

Monami - Karan, I know tum so nahi rahe ho. Let's talk about it, aise shaant mat raho. Say something!

Receiving no response from Karan, Monami turned a little tense. She knew that he was pretending to be asleep but didn't know why he was doing so. Monami had expected some emotional breakdown from Karan but his silence was killing her as it's more dangerous than his anger.

Monami - Karan, now you're scaring me. Please, kuchh to kaho. Aise chup-chup mat raho, I know tum jaag rahe ho.

Saying so, Monami kept her hand on Karan's chest, just above his heart. The moment Monami's hand touched Karan's heart, her warmth instantly melted the strong wall he created around himself and his chin started wobbling and in no time, tears started flowing from his eyes.

Karan - Kya bolu Monami? Tumne dekha Da..Daarji ne kaise muj..mujhe "anjaan" label kar diya. Main anjaan hoon kya unka? Kya mera aur unka koi vaasta nahi? Vo mujhe kyu itni saza de rahe hain?!

Monami's eyes softened upon listening these cry-filled complaints from Karan and she very lovingly, kept her palm on his cheek and caressed it. Not having any answer to his questions, Monami stayed quiet. She herself agress that Daarji had deeply hurt Karan by calling him "anjaan" and the way he took Sanjot from there, really broke Karan.

Monami shifted a little higher and Karan immediately encircled his arms around her waist tightly, not wanting to let her go anywhere. Understanding her fear, Monami hugged him tight giving him the much needed reassurance. Feeling the comfort, Karan hid his face in her chest and Monami kept on caressing his hair.

Monami - I know Karan ki tumhe bahot bura laga hai Daarji ki baaton ka but let's just keep in mind ki vo bade hain humare. I know Daarji ko bahut galatfehmiyaan hain tumhare baare mein lekin hum aise unse muh to nahi fer sakte na! Let's just try to make everything better.

Karan (slightly sternly) - Nahi Monami, main kuchh theek nahi karna chahta, ab yaha jisko jo sochna hai soche. Mujhe meri sachhai pata hai! Mujhe pata hai ki main koi gaddar nahi hoon aur sabka kitna khayal hai mujhe lekin ab main Daarji ko kuchh prove nahi karne wala. Tumhare aur Beeji ke kehne se yaha ruk gaya tha ek din ke liye lekin ab hum kal subah hi Deolali ke liye niklenge.

Monami was shocked by Karan's wording as they made her fear come true. They can't leave without being united to the family. She has always wanted to erase all of Karan's sorrow but him not wanting to do anything anymore was just frightening her.

Monami - Karan, hum aise nahi jaa sakte. Zara socho agar hum chale gaye to kya hoga. Fir se sab vahi hoga jo 5 saal pehle hua tha, tumhe firse sab...

Monami stopped in her words as she couldn't really say something bad about her Karan. Lifting up his head, Karan smirked sarcastically knowing what she wanted to say and why she stopped in her words.

Karan - Gaddar! Dhokebaaz! Bhagauda kahenge, yehi na? (Monami nodded slightly) To kya hua? Vo to abhi bhi keh hi rahe hain na.

Karan said this very casually as if he's not affected by these tags but only he knows how much such names pinch him and especially when his Daarji taunts him using these. Not seeing Monami's reaction, Karan again rested his face on Monami's chest and now his hold on Monami wasn't as tight as before.

Monami's eyebrows scrunched in tension as Karan's sarcastic take on the situation was killing her from inside. She wanted Karan to be with his family and be as happy as he used to be but her plan seemed to be a failure. Looking down, she saw Karan who had his eyes closed and his head rested on her chest.  Though he was still holding her waist but now, he has also tangled his legs with hers, not letting her move even by a bit. And not knowing when, Karan was completely laying on Monami.

Monami thought to give another try to convince Karan to stay in the pind for just a few more days as she was more than keen to reunite him with his family and give everyone their happiness back.

Monami (caressing his hair lovingly) - Karan, suno na...hume aise nahi jaana chahiye, humara aise jaana achha nahi lagega. Chalo sabke baare mein chhodo, tum zara Beeji ke baare mein to socho. Socha hai unhe kitna bura lagega?

Karan (keeping his eyes still closed) - Monami, ab mujhe kisiki koi parvaah nahi hai. 5 saal pehle bhi to Beeji ne sambhal liya tha na khudko, ab fir sambhal lengi. Aur vaise bhi, unke bahut apne hain yaha..kisi "anjaan" ki koi zaroorat nahi hai!

Emphasizing on "anjaan", Karan indirectly conveyed it to Monami that how Dilpreet's one words had hurt his soul and how that one word is still ringing in his ears. Exhaling a deep breath as she again lost it in front of this hurt soul, Monami thought to give in one last try as she really can't leave the matter so easily.

This time, Monami tried to use her brahmastra in front of which Karan can never win but before she could even open her mouth to say something, Karan lifted up himself a bit and kept his lips on hers, making her stunned and speechless. Sucking her lips for a few seconds, Karan left her lips and again rested his head on Monami's chest as if he did nothing.

Karan (with his eyes closed) - Tum itni chinta mat karo, main theek hoon. Ab aadat ho gayi hai itne dukh ki. Now I want to start everything afresh, leaving behind every pain. (Sternly) Hum kal Deolali jayenge matlab jayenge, kasam dene ki koshish mat karna. Ab tum bhi so jao and that's an order! Over & out!

Announcing so, within in a few seconds Karan slipped into deep slumber as the entire day was very mentally tiring for him. His words made Monami to not to do anything except worrying about the next day. She understood why Karan behaved so normally as he doesn't want her to get stressed any further. As sleep overpowered her, Monami too slept holding Karan in her embrace.

In the Shergills' haveli, as Dilpreet, Sanjot and Rana reached, they saw everyone in the verandah waiting for them. As they entered, though no one dared to ask anything but their faces told how eager they were to know what happened in the hotel.

Dilpreet - O khade kya ho saare ke saare aithhe, jao..jaake so jao.

Saying so, Dilpreet just started marching towards his room but that's when he felt a tug on his sleeve. Turning behind, he saw its his wife Sanjot who has held his hand.

Dilpreet - On sardarni, ki hoya? Sone nahi jaana?

Sanjot - Sardarji, aaj janmadin hai mera, tussi bus mainnu ek taufa dedo? Fir kadi kuchh na mangangi main.

The over sweetness in Sanjot's requesting tone didn't digest well to Dilpreet and he knew that something's been cooking in his wife's mind. Dilpreet just nodded at Sanjot, asking her to speak further while the rest just stood there completely confused.

Nimrit - Bataiye na Beeji..kya maangne wale ho aap Daarji se? Sone ke set ya chandi ki payal?!

Due to her excitement, Nimrit received a glare from Dilpreet and immediately moved back. Sanjot's sudden demand confused everyone present.

Harmanpreet (whispering to Rana) - O Rane, itne hungame ke baad parjayiji itni shaant kaise hain aur kya maangne wali hain vo tere Daarji se?

Rana (whispering back) - Mainnu ki pata chachaji.

Sanjot moved ahead and took Dilpreet's hand in hers. Such sudden PDA between the two really stunned their audience, even Dilpreet was quite surprised as Sanjoy is the one who often gets shy when Dilpreet holds her hand in front of everyone.

Sanjot - Na sona na chandi, tussi to bus mainnu mera heera de do!

Parminder - Hain?! Ae ki maang rahe ho Sanju behenji?

Sanjot - Haan Param, Sardarji...iss janamdin pe aap bus mere heere se puttar nu maaf kardo. Khatam karo ye narazgi!

Everyone was too stunned when Sanjot requested Dilpreet for such a birthday gift. Though everyone including Sanjot somewhat know the consequences of it but still with a little hope ignited in their hearts, they wished for some miracle to happen that can convince Dilpreet.

Not being able to answer anything as he didn't wanted to say no to his wife that too on her birthday but also, couldn't let go off such a huge matter. Due to which he got insulted and troubled so much, he can't just forget those moments this easily. Passing a very hard look to everyone, Dilpreet just went towards his room without saying anything and this definitely disappointed everyone.

Rana - Beeji, tussi bhi ki aas laga rahe si? Tuannu sachi lagda ki Daarji bhaisahab nu kadi maaf karaange?!

Nimrit - Dil ko jhootha dilaasa dekar mat rakhiye Beeji, aisa kabhi nahi hone wala. (Yawning) Mere ko to bahut neend aa rahi hai, main to sone jaa rahi hoon.

Saying so, Nimrit went to her room being followed by Rana. Parminder too came and advised Sanjot to not to expect much and forget about reuniting this Dada-Pota duo. Though Sanjot nodded at everyone's words but deep down in her heart, she desperately wanted this fight to end. Glancing one last time towards the sky, she too went to sleep but not before praying for everyone's betterment and requesting the almighty to make things fall in her favor.
