Avu told them all what she had told Sid. Faisjeet were shocked badly, even others were but not as much as those two. Sidshek already knew all this though. 

Avu: Woh aurat jisne hume kidnap kiya tha galti se, uski ek beti hai, Mahira. Aur use lagta hai hum teeno ki wajah se uski maa mari par sach yeh hai ki uske rivals ne maara. In short in do rivals ke beech hum phas gaye. [The lady who kidnapped us by mistake, she has a daughter, Mahira. And she thinks her mother died because of us but its the rivals who killed her mother. In short we got stuck between these two rivals.]

Reem: Sid aur Abhi bhai ko kaise yeh sab pata? [How do Sid and Abhi bhai know all this?]

Avu: Aaj subah Sid ko sab bataya maine. [Today morning I told Sid everything.] 

Sid: Mai aaya ek minute. [I'll be back in a minute.]

He went to his room and soon returned with a brooch and gave it to Jai. 

Sid: You had given me this saying to return you when we meet again. 

Jai: Tera koyi locket diya tha tune mujhe? [You had given me a locket?]

Sid: Ha. 

Jai took out a locket, removed a paper hanging on it and gave it to Sid. 

Jai: Kidnapping ke wakt maine shayad pehen rakha tha. Mere paas humesha se yeh locket tha aur iske saath latke kaagaz par bubba likha hua tha. [I think I was wearing it when I got kidnapped. I always had this with me and the paper with it had bubba written on it.]

Sid: Yeh mujhe bh.... [It was given to me by bh...]

He suddenly stopped realising what he was about to say and Avu understood who had given it to him. Just then Faisu's phone rang. 

Fais: Hello.... Ha aunty..... Aunty mai abhi Mumbai mein nahi hu, kuch din baad lautunga.... Bachi huyi hai.... Thank you aunty. [Hello... Yes aunty... Aunty I am not in Mumbai, I'll return after few days... Its a girl... Thank you aunty.]

He kept the call, but his phone rang again. He talked and then cut. 

Fais: Mahira thi, mujhe jana hoga. [It was Mahira, I'll have to go.]

Avu: Fais, nahi. [Fais, no.]

Fais: Kyu? [Why?]

Avu: Ab toh tujhe poora sach bata diya na. [Now I said the whole truth right.]

Fais: Mai nahi manta. Aur agar sach bhi hai toh farak nahi padta. [I don't believe. And even if its the truth then I don't care.]

Avu: Fai.... 

But he went away. 

Jai: Avu, shant reh thoda. Koyi toh wajah hogi, pehle yeh pata laga na ki bacha hai kiska, woh toh nahi karega koshish. [Avu, calm down. There must be some reason, before that we have find out whose child it is, he won't try to find out.]

Avu: Hmm. 

Sid: Par Mahira ki pregnancy ka Faisal se kya connection? [But how is Faisal connected to Mahira's pregnancy?]

Avu: 3 saal pehle un dono ki shaadi ho chuki, aur Fais kisiki kuch sunne ko tayar nahi hai. [3 years back they got married, and Fais is not ready to listen anything also.]

Jaan felt her heart break, and though she didn't earlier, she now realised she loved him. She blinked back her tears not letting anyone see but Jai did. 

Jai: Jaan. 

She looked at him with eyebrows raised. 

Jai: Kuch kaam hai, ek baar chal na. [Come with me no once, some work is there.]

They both went to Abhi, Jaan and Reem's room. Others were confused what happened suddenly but let it be. 

Jai: What has happened? 

Jaan: Nothing. 

Jai: Then why were there tears in your eyes? Pls tell me. 

Jaan was silent for sometime before finally saying it. 

Jaan: I love him. 

Jai: Who? 

Jaan: Faisal. 

Jai: What? How? 

Jaan: Last year itself I started having crush on him but didn't realise, and this year it turned to love. First when I had gone to the staff room and only he was there and he gave me the surprise and then expressed his point of view and the day she came so I was distracting him. And I realised my love when I found out about his wife. I thought he has similar feelings for me when he used to get lost in my eyes the way I would in his, but he loves her. 

She started crying so he pulled her in a hug but fell down and she fell on him sideways. When she didn't get up he realised she has fallen asleep. He was thinking about her words and didn't realise when he also fell asleep as it was very late now. Meanwhile downstairs they didn't come so Reem went to check and saw them asleep while cuddling and felt something prick her heart and jealousy but she pushed it away. She had realised her feelings, but now he was her ex, so she thought there are no chances of them being back together. And seeing them almosyy cuddling she thought he has completely moved on. She went back down. 

Reem: They both have fallen asleep. Where are Abhi bhai and Avu? 

Sid: They went to the garden when you left. 

Reem: Hmm. Even I'm going to sleep in your room, they both are in my room. Vaish you can also come. 

Sid: What? Where will I go then? And what about bhai and Avi? 

Reem: Your wish. 

Sid: Ok, I'll go and sleep with maa. 

He went knowing Vibha must still be awake as she doesn't sleep before checking on everyone once. Reem and Vaish went to Sidjeet's room and slept. Meanwhile Abhineet were sitting on the swing, which had become everyone's favourite place. Abhi was sitting properly while Avu was lying with her head on his chest and he was playing with her hair as they both talked. The position itself reminded them of many memories, as they had sat many times on a bench and would fall asleep there only. Avu lied down properly with her head on his lap and he had folded his legs. His one hand was on her hands which were on her stomach, other hand caressing her forehead. Both fell asleep there only. Soon Vibha came to check on all and Sid came with her as he wasn't feeling sleepy. They chuckled seeing Vaishreem lying in weird positions. And then went to Jai and Jaan and covered them with a blanket. Then they went to the garden and Vibha was about to go to Abhineet to cover them also with shawls. 

Sid: Maa, wait one second. 

She looked confused but smiled as he took a photo of them. Then they both covered Abhineet with the shawls and Sid took another photo before going to room and Vibha made him sleep as well then checked on Aditya before sleeping.
