(Saraswati on the witness box. Saraswati stares Neil, then Isha.)

Devki- Court ko bataiye ki exactly unki kya baatein hui?

Saraswati- Woh koi,.. paise bhejne ki baat kar rahi thi..

Devki- Kisse? Aur kya baat hui?

Saraswati- Woh, bol rahi thi ki,.. 'Neil ki taraf se gawahi mat dena, Kisiko pata nahi chana chahiye ki tum Kiya ke biology phater ho, Neil nahi... aisa kuch. Par mujhe uska matlab samajh nahi aaya.

Devki- What-

(Mini was totally shocked. She looked at Neil. Isha lowered her eyes.)

Devki- Your Honour, Mr. Neil ki patni, Isha ki beti ka biological father koi aur hai, Mr. Neil nahi.

Mr. Sharma- Kya proof hai ki yeh sach bol rahi hai?

Devki- Proof?... Saraswati ji, yeh saari baatein aapne exactly kab suni thi kal?

Saraswati- Kal, jab Kiya apni Nanny ke saath bahar ghoomne gayi thi, 3:30 baje, uske baad... 3:45 baje honge

Devki- Your Honour, main Isha ji ke call logs check karna chahti hoon. Abhi aapke saamne. Mujhe ijazat hai?

(Judge nodded.)

Devki- Isha ji, aap please kathghare par aa jaiye .... Aapka phone?

Isha- Mera phone nahi hai mere paas. Main-... layi hi nhi.

Devki- Phone nhi layi. (chuckled) The lamest bahana. Homework complete nhi ho, toh "Madam, sab kiya hai, copy lana bhool gye." Hum sabne yeh bola hai Isha ji, sabko pta hai yahan. (chuckled) Aapka bag check karna hai mujhe.

(Devki looked for phone in the bag but found something else inside.)

Devki- Gupta enterprises. Contract Ritwick Gupta, 987607.. Your Honour, Isha ji ke bag mein yeh jo card mila hai, ismein Ritwick ka number hai.

(She held Judge the card.)

Devki- Aapka phone... Here... bag mein hi toh tha?

Mr.Sharma- Kisike call log check karna personal hota hai, your honour.

Judge- Bahut si personal baatein toh hi ho gayi hain court mein. (growled at Khatri) Aur call logs dekh k court Isha ji ki koi information nahi chura rha.

Dekvi- Thank you Your Honour,... yeh dekhiye ma'am. Jaisa ki Saraswati ne kaha. Kal dopahar ke 3.48 baje Isha ji ne ek call kiya tha. Yeh dekhiye...

(The judge examined that the number dial last day was the same number given in the card, which was found in Isha's purse.)

Judge- Toh Tamaam sabooton aur gawahon ke mutabik, Neil Oberoi nirdosh hain aur unki beti ko unse milne mein ko khatra nhi hai. Isha Oberoi khud ek working lady hain, iss liye, na toh unhe Mr. Neil ka ghar milega, naa unke Bank accounts, aur naa hi unki koi jewelry. Yeh case yahin par khatm hoti hai.

(Mini was absolutely shocked at this. She had never thought that Kiya will be out as Ritwick's daughter. She was unable to think of anything else. But Neil seemed fine. He came to her and held her hand. Torn but strong.)

(They saw Isha standing outside, waiting for them. They decided to ignore but she called.)

Isha- Neil! (They turned to her) I don't know main baat kahan se shuru karun. Mujhe samajh nhi aaya, main kab itni, cruel ho gyi... maine tumhe dhokha diya, tumhari chataracter par keechad uchale aur... Mini, I'm sorry. (tears filled her eyes) I am so sorry, aaj jo kuch bhi hua tumhare saath-... meri galati hai. Main toh maafi mange ke layak bhi nahi hoon.-
