Vidyut came back to his senses as Mihika came there with her bag.

Mihika: Vidyut vo kuch nahi kha rahi hai. Please take care of her.

(Mihika: Vidyut, she isn't eating anything. Please take care of her.)

Vidyut nodded. Mihika made Ruhi stand and explained to her that she was going with Vidyut.

Vidyut held Ruhi's hand and walked out of the office with her. He made her sit in the car in the back seat. He sat in the driver's seat and drove off the car. The whole drive was silent. Ruhi was too scared to speak anything with Vidyut. Vidyut had no idea what to say or talk about. He was too disturbed to talk.

As they reached. Vidyut came out of the car. He took Ruhi too. They walked in silently.

As they walked in. They found everyone on the dining table. Only Shalini was aware of Ruhi, no one else.

Aniruddh (looking at the Ruhi): Vid ye bachi kaun hai?

(Aniruddh (looking at the Ruhi): Vid, who is she?)

Listening to Aniruddh's words. Everyone's attention turned towards the door.

Saurav: Vidyut kya hua? Tu theek nahi lag raha hai. Sab theek hai?

(Saurav: Vidyut what happened? You seem dull. Is everything alright?)

Shalini looked at his face. She knew the reason. She knew he was in pain. She looked at Ruhi. That little girl too seems lost.

Vidyut looked down, not knowing how to explain his brothers. Aniruddh, Harsha and Saurav were worried.

Shalini (sighed): Aao baitho beta. Hum sab tumhara hi wait kar rahe the. Aa jaa bache.

(Shalini (sighed): Come sit child. We were waiting for you only. Come, baby)

She said the last line to Ruhi.

Aniruddh: Dadi aap janti hai ye kaun hai?

(Aniruddh: Grandma, do you know about her?)

Shalini (nodded): Khana kha kar baat kare? Sab ko bukh lagi hogi. Vidyut isse mujhe de beta.

(Shalini (nodded): Have a meal first then we can talk? Everyone must be hungry. Vidyut, give her to me)

Vidyut nodded and he made Ruhi sit beside Shalini.

Vidyut: Mujhe bukh nahi hai. Aap log kha lo. Main aaya fresh ho kar.

(Vidyut: I am not hungry. You have your meal. I will get fresh till then)

Aniruddh and Saurav looked at each other.

Saurav: Aese kaise bukh nahi hai? Chal baith idhar.

(Saurav: How come you are not hungry? Come and sit here.)

Vidyut: Bhai please-

Harsha (cuts him): Kya hua hai bache? Idhar aa mere pass baith.

(Harsha (cuts him): What happened, baby? Come here and sit with me)

She said the last line in an ordering tone. Aniruddh, Saurav and Harsha sensed he was going through something. Vidyut obeyed Harsha's words and sat beside her.

Harsha: Kya hua? Tu ro raha tha?

(Harsha: What happened? You were crying?)

She asked looking at his face. Vidyut shook his head. He couldn't control it anymore and hugged Harsha. He started sobbing. Taking his pain out.

Looking at him. Aniruddh and Saurav panicked. Harsha's muscles stiffened. She caresses his hair. Shalini sighed sadly. Ruhi was looking at them.

Harsha: Bol Vidyut kya hua? Tu friends ke sath Cafe gaya tha na? Kisi ne kuch bola? Ye bachi kaun hai?
