Bani lits a candle by Veer's picture. Jay comes in. They collide with each other.

Jay- "Where are your spectacles?"
Bani- "I don't wear them. Can't you see?"
Jay- "You came in my way."
Bani- "What is all these? Books?"
Jay- "They are baby catalogs. You can order any of these."

Bani checks them.

Bani- "These are so cute. I will buy this toy. This is so cute."
Jay- "Are you buying for the baby or yourself?"
Bani- "Let's order this blanket in pink."
Jay- "Blue. Your name should be pinky."
Bani- "I am mom."
Jay- "I pity on him. My color choices are better than yours."
Bani- "Pink..Blue is good."
Jay- "What happened?"
Bani- "If Veer was here, he would have chosen blue."

Babbe- "I am so worried for Bani, God. Will she live alone all her life? Should we all think about her second marriage? Tell us God. Will it be right? Will she agree? Please find us a way."

Bani- "See Veer's closet is so organized. His school books are there too. I wish our baby is like Veer."
Jay- "Yeah she should be like you."
Bani- "I am very organized too."

Leela comes in.

Jay- "Remember your room? It was a like a big pink cake."

Leela coughs.

Leela- "Get ready Bani. I have booked your appointment."
Jay- "If you don't mind can I drop you two?"
Leela- "Jay, please don't mind. I know you are her well wisher but world doesn't see uthis way. You should go."
Bani- "Maa, what is it?"
Leela- "Nothing. People need gossip. That is why I am saying."
Jay- "I understand."

Jay drops them. Leela gets an important call.

Bani- "We can take tomorrow's appointment."
Leela- "No, her appointment is not easy."
Jay- "Let me get you an auto."

Babbe- "Usha, there are so many wedding websites. Marriage is so pure and important. What is your opinion? Should we think about Bani's second marriage?"
Usha- "What are you saying.. never."

She leaves.

Bani takes off her jewellery and asks Jay to hold it.

Bani- "Give me my file."

He gives her the file.

Doctor- "Bani, your bp is low. You are not taking care of your health. Your husband is outside."

She asks nurse to call him.

Bani- "Listen.."
Doctor- "You should take care."

Jay comes in and sits.

Doctor- "What is this Mr. Singhania?Your wife is not taking care of her health. You are an educated couple."

Bani- "Listen.."
Doctor- "You have to take care of her."
Bani- "He is not my husband."

Doctor is dazed.

Doctor- "He is with you so he should know. You have to come for check up after two weeks."

Chandni stops her car outside Singhania house. Veer's moments in the house flashback.

Chandni- "Before someone sees me."

Bani- "Jay, why didn't you tell the doctor you are not Mr. Singhania."
Jay- "I don't want to be ur husband. She was discussing your health. We were there to discuss your reports. What should one do?"
Bani- "You keep fighting all the time."

Chandni sees them.

Chandni- "Did they see me?"

Bani and Jay arrive home.

Bani- "Veer wanted to buy similar car."
Jay- "You go home. Usha aunty won't like me to come in."
Bani- "Thank you."

Babbe- "What's the problem? We should think about her happiness and life."
Usha- "I lost my son. Now, I don't wanna lose my grandson. I can't bear this."

Bani comes in.

Usha- "I understand how difficult it is to live alone and a second husband will get her son a father."

Bani(in heart)- "Am I a burden on them? I can't do this."

Next morning,

Babbe- "Bani, it's your medicine time."

She comes in room. Bani is not there. Babbe checks in the washroom.

Bani- "She is not here either? Where can she go?"

Babbe(to Balwant and Usha)- "If u both have seen Bani?"
Balwant and Usha- "No."
Babbe- "Where can she go early in the morning?"

They look everywhere. They tell Leela.

Babbe- "It's all my mistake. We were talking about her marriage. That is why she left us."
Jay- "Did you try her phone? Did you call her friends? Don't worry. I am trying to find her."

He calls her number.

Chandni gives ice cream.

Chandni- "Veer, Dr. Survi wants to do your operation and then you can go to your home to your Bani. I just hope everything goes well."
