In Gauri's House 🏠

Gauri's Perspective : 

Grateful he's gone, I let out a sigh of relief. Now, where could Maa be? Oh God, what has he done to her? I've searched everywhere, except in my room - how could I forget? Maa!!! There she was, lying on the floor, and her head seemed injured. Disoriented, I gently lifted her, tucking her into the bed, and covered her with a warm blanket. Leaving her in the room, I made my way to the living room, sinking into the soft embrace of the couch, and leaning my head back, I closed my eyes, seeking some sleep.

Gauri's Mother : Rekha, please accept this...

Mrs. Rekha kumar : What is this, ma'am?

Gauri's Mother : It's 50 lakh rupees. I implore you to take my daughter far away from here. If she remains in this place, she'll never know true happiness or experience the simplicity I yearn for her to have. She might follow in her father's footsteps. Take her with you and never look back. I promise to send you more money in future . Please, take her with you.

Mrs. Rekha kumar : Madam, I can't accept this. Sir will be furious if he finds out, and I fear for my life.

Gauri's Mother: He won't harm you. I assure you, he'll never discover the truth.

Mrs. Rekha kumar : Madam, I respect and sympathize with you. They treat you so unjustly. Why don't you leave this place with your daughter?

Gauri's Mother : Rekha, what do think. I never thought about that..!! Hmm..? Forget it..my time will come soon, but I want you to do as I say. Take my daughter with you. I will follow shortly after. I beg you to rescue her from this infernal existence.
