Everyone is worried about Reema. Shehnaaz instructs Sidharth to be at home while she and Rudhra would go out searching for her. Sidharth however can't keep calm and he goes to search for her in disguise.

Rudhra gets a call from Naina who stayed at home in the afternoon informing him that Reema has returned and Rudhra inturn inform others. They all return home quickly.

Sidharth: Amma, where were you? Do you know, all of us were so much worried about you?

Reema: When I woke up even before the break of dawn, I panicked. I realised I am in a different place. It wasn't the same place which I had been waking up to since past 35 years. Everything which happened yesterday started running in my head. I was feeling suffocated here and then I realised that even you being my blood didn't think I was right because you weren't there.

Sidharth: Amma, I care for you..

Reema: Let me complete Sidharth. I sneaked out of the house not knowing where to go. I walked and walked until I was tired. I looked around and I was in the vicinity of a temple. I went and I sat on the stairs. Slowly devotees started arriving. I covered my face with the veil.

There was a huge line for darshan. I wondered if it was some festival today when I overheard people talking. They were here to celebrate your father's arrest. Each one had a story to tell and a heart wrenching story. They were happy and hoped that the court would punish him severely for his deeds.

I felt ashamed, ashamed of being his wife, ashamed of serving him blindly, ashamed of staying with a criminal and ashamed of enjoying benefits he earned by committing crimes. Staying inside the four walls and following his instructions, never allowed me to think anything besides him. When I stepped out, I realised my mistake.

Shehnaaz, I am sorry that I ignored you and acted wrong with you. What my son could understand, I failed to accept it. I failed to see your greatness that you continued with the relationship with my son even after being pained by his father. Failed to see that you truly cared for our safety.

Reema hugged Shehnaaz. Shehnaaz smiled through her tears. She was happy to have her back and being surrounded by all the loving people who loved her unconditionally.

Naina was moved by Reema's words. She hugged Rudhra and accepted her relationship with further no doubts.

Shehnaaz: Sidharth, Our team has arranged for a small gathering to appreciate everyone involved in the success of the project. Rudhra bhaiyya and Naina bhabhi are also going. I don't know how you will feel hence I am in a dilemma if I should go or not. (She spoke hesitantly)

Sidharth: What's wrong in going there? You have worked hard, put your heart and soul in it and achieved this success. You aren't doing anything wrong. I suggest you should go.

Shehnaaz: (smiles) Really? (He nods) Will you join me?

Sidharth: What will I do there? I will stay back with Amma.
