Sana and Sidharth reach home. Sulochana put her face down in embarrassment when she saw Sana. Sana touches her feet to take her blessing.

Sulochana: (places her hand on her head to bless) Sada suhaagan raho. Khush raho. {Have a blessed married life and stay happy}

Sana: My happiness lies in my family and your blessings worked Saasumaa. I am back to my family and I am expecting a baby as well.

Sulochana: (cries out of guilt) I am sorry bahu. I took decisions in haste.

Sidharth: It wasn't about taking decision in haste Maa, it was about incorrect decision. I love my wife a lot and sending her away from me is no less than a crime. Even if she wasn't expecting our baby, she is my wife. Birth and death isn't in our hand but how we live is surely in our hand. We need to live with no regrets and that's only possible when we are considerate about each other's feelings. For a mere child you were breaking my happily married life.

Sana: Please don't say such words, she is your mother.

Sidharth: Sana please, I respect her as a mother but what is wrong is wrong and I can't support wrong in the name of respect. Plus you were also equally responsible for this. I had told you multiple times not to hide things from me or assume something but you want to always prove yourself to be a great goddess of sacrifice. This wasn't sacrifice but utter foolishness. It was spoiling our lives. You know Maa, what would have been the consequences of your doing? If Sunaina hadn't stopped, this stupid wife of mine was ready to die. And if that had happened, I would have never forgiven you for it.

Sulochana couldn't speak a word in humiliation, so was Sana.

Sidharth: Anyways, I hope these things won't be repeated in future because we can't be lucky everytime.

Both the ladies nod their head as they hung it down in embarrassment.

Sana was cleaning the house when Sidharth hugs her from behind.

Sidharth: Jaan, don't burden yourself with too much work. You need to be very careful.

Sana: Saasumaa hardly allows me to do any heavy work. I was just cleaning the house. I found some of Renuka didi's belonging, we should give it to her.

Sidharth: Just throw it in trash.

Sana: What?

Sidharth: I don't want her shadow on us ever.

Sana: What was her fault? Saasumaa insisted her to marry you, I feel bad for her as you got her married to an old man.

Sidharth: Fault? She is the main manipulator. She was letching on me and also fed this idea of me remarrying her in Maa's mind. I had got this old man's proposal earlier and rejected it. But when I heard her conversation with Maa after Maa forced me to agreeing to marry her, I was very infuriated.

Flashback:

Sulochana: Trust me, you won't repent your decision if you remarry.

Sidharth: You are wrong Maa. I wasn't happy last time when I spent 5 years without her after spending just 3 days with her. This time I've stayed over 2 years with her. It's much tougher for me to be happy again. But if it gives you happiness then fine, lets do it as per your wish.

Sidharth comes out of Sulochana's room but then remembered that he forgot the poison bottle in her room itself. He goes back to her room, only to overhear their conversation.

Sulochana: Renuka, you lied to Sidharth that I kept the bottle under the pillow. Somehow I understood and managed to handle it, else we would have got caught. Why didn't you inform me before going to him?
