Ruhana and Yuvaan are having dinner. The latter has prepared vegetable noodles and ginger tea, as his sister likes. The sudden call from the hospital has wavered their plans, but Yuvaan decided to prepare food for his sister. He finds her lost in her own thoughts.
“Kya hua, Di? Sab thik hai na?” He inquires; he doesn’t want her to cause any sort of tension.
“Yuvi, thik hai bhi aur nahi bhi.” She replies, confusing him.
“Matlab? Vo jo patient they, vo ab thik hai na?” He asks.
“Vo coma mein chale gaye hai. Meri dost Anamika aur uske husband ka kehna hai ki ye ek attempt to murder hai.” Ruhana replies, shocking her brother.
“Matlab? Aapne toh kaha na ki ye ek accident hain.” Yuvaan asks softly.
“Aisa lag raha tha ki ye ek accident hain. Lekin Dr. Rishabh ne bataya ki usko koi aur leke aaya the hospital mein. Aur lag hi raha tha ki accident case tha.” Ruhana says it softly.
"Relax, Di, aapke dost sab handle kar lenge.” He tries to convince her.
“Han, I just hope ye case jaldi solve ho jaye.” She replies, sipping her tea.
Yuvaan begins to cheer up his sister. They chit-chat for a little while while having food. Meanwhile, Ruhana’s phone rings and she picks it up in one go. She is shocked to hear what the caller has to say. She cuts the call and is traumatised at the moment. Yuvaan is startled at the moment.
“Di, kya hua? Kiska call tha?” He asks.
“Mujhe hospital jana hai, Yuvi! I will see you in the morning. Tum rest karo.” Ruhana says it in a hurry.
“Hospital? Abhi? Kyun Di? Itni pareshan kyun ho?” He asks, he doesn’t want her to stress herself due to her job.
“Yuvaan! Mr Sinha ko hosh aa raha hai. Jo resident doctor hai, unka call aaya tha. They noticed some movement, but the man is scared, I fear ki unke darr se kahin kuch aur na ho jaaye.” She replies while packing her bag.
“Main aata hoon aapke sath.” He insists.
“Yuvi, tum kya karoge? Main chali jaaungi.” She replies.
“Nahi, Di. Aapne toh aaj thik se rest bhi nahi kiya. Toh main nahi chahta ki aap kuch aur stress lo. Main chalta hoon na, I will drive. Aap bas tension mat lo.” He says and gets ready wearing his t-shirt and the two siblings leave home after locking it properly.
It’s going to be a long night, too, in the hospital.

Ahuja House
Anamika and Vineet take chances to freshen up and change. It’s been a long day. They got Aashi home and then they went shopping and dinner. Then a new case! It’s been a hectic day. The young girl is very understanding as she didn’t complained to them for leaving her alone. Anamika comes out of the washroom and finds her husband in deep thoughts. She calls him by his name.
“Vineet?” She calls his name for another time, and that’s when, he looks at her.
“Tum kuch keh rahi thi?” He asks.
“Haan, tum kya soch rahe ho? Aashi ke baare mein?” She inquires.
“Nahi, Ana. Tum thik kehti ho, Aashi toh ab badi ho gayi hai. Lekin mujhe Mr Rahul ki chinta hai.” He says.
“Uski kya chinta karna? Ruhana ko kaha hai maine, wo hume bata degi agar usko kuch pata chalega toh?” She tries to comfort him.
“Vo toh thik hai, lekin ek aadmi kisi meeting mein jaata hai aur phir ye accident. Uske saath uska dost bhi hai toh wo kahan gaya?” Vineet asks while looking at her.
“Ye bhi toh ho sakta hai na ki Rahul apne ghar laut raha tha aur tab ye accident hua.” She looks at him.
“Lekin Ana, jahan wo aadmi mila aur uska ghar, dono opposite direction mein hai.” Vineet emphasises his point.
“Relax Vineet, hum iss baare mein kal baat karenge. Vaise bhi Mr Sinha coma mein hai. Aur jab tak unko hosh nahi aata, hum aage nahi badh sakte. Tum relax karo, main Aashi ko dekh ke aati hoon.” She says this and heads into the other room.
Anamika knocks on the door and finds it slightly ajar. She peeks inside and finds that the girl is asleep. She smiles sweetly and enters the room to take a close look at the girl. She softly kisses her head and covers her with a duvet. She exits the room and enters her room, only to find her husband easing on the bed.
She slides onto the bed and snuggles close to Vineet, keeping her head on his chest. They just relax in silence until a phone call breaks the silence. It’s Anamika’s phone. She picks up the call and she’s surprised to find Ruhana on the call, who asks her to visit the hospital as soon as they can. Anamika assures Ruhana that they will be there in some time. Anamika tells Vineet that they need to rush to the hospital.
They’re worried at the moment.
