Aarohi opened the window to witness a celebration, a celebration of her silence!

She closed her eyes, and let those tears role down her cheeks -- a sense of realisation hit her hard.

Flashback -

Aarohi on call -- "Sir aap chinta maat kariye, mein aapko disappoint nahi karungi, thank you for the opportunity! I will be soon there."

She rushed towards her cupboard, saw her dream, her doctor's coat lifelessly hanging there..

She said,
"Don't worry, ab mein apne sapne ke beech kissi ko aane dungi. World ki Best Doctor bane ka sapna sirf Birla hospital mein hi thodi pura ho sakta hain.


Mein apni dedication se ye test pass karke, world class hospital join karne se bass thode kadam dur hu."

She touched the coat with pride in her voice, passion in her eyes, and determination in her soul. She closed the cupboard, grabbed the car keys and left the mansion without answering to a single allegations behind her.

Neil, was devastated learning the truth of his existence and even felt miserable seeing Harsh's reaction to it once again.

Broken, hurt, he got up from the corner of his room, wiped out his tears, looked at the mirror and promised to himself,

"Mere papa agar Mr. Harsh Birla hain toh mujhe meri maa ke baare mein jaane ka pura haq hain. Manjari mummy agar Yasodha maiya hain toh mujhe Devki maa ke baare mein pata laga ke rahunga.
Ab mein khud unke baare mein pata laga unga. Gande khoon ko shaan se apni pechan banaunga."

He walked towards the window, looking outside, up in the sky, he raged---

"Maa, aap sun rahe ho na? Aapka beta aapke saath hain. Aapke saath jo bhi galat hua hain uska pata laga kar badla mein lunga..aapki har ek takleef ka jawab milega aapko. Ye Inteqaal ab Mr Birla dekhenge."

Aarohi hurriedly steps outside the car, walking towards a relief camp, organised by an NGO in collaboration with A Ray of Hope Hospital for elderly people.

She searched for Doctor Singhania, the HOD of Emergency Ward and Senior Oncologist.

Locating him, she greets and introduces herself.

Doctor Singhania:-
Good Morning Ms Goenka, I hope after this assessment we will work together. I have heard a lot about your skills, and it is the time to showcase them.

Aarohi:-
"Good Morning doctor, firstly I would like to extend my gratitude to you for giving me a chance to prove myself. Not judging me on past incidents and allegations, you chooses to judge me on my calibre grounds. That suggests a lot about your work ethics. I will be grateful for learning under your guidance."

She was then assisted by a nurse to tent number 202. Reading through the file, she starts repeating one line in a whispering voice.

"Simran Agastya was left outside the doorstep of NGO late at night 1:30 am on 20th October, 2000."

What shocked her is the name of the person who abandoned her at the first stage of cervical cancer -- Mr Harsh Birla.

Aarohi came back to the world hearing cough of the old lady, Ms Simran Agastya.

She unconsciously joined the dots -- the year of abandonment, Neil's age, the story of 'Ganda Khoon and illegitimate child'. Looking at Simran, she could clearly see a little Neil through her eyes.

A tear rolled out her eyes realising that Neil's real identity is fighting for her life since his birth i.e. 20th October.
.
.
Neil started calling all the hospitals from city to district calculating details. Asking relevant questions, joining dots. He then called A Ray of Hope Hospital, and got a lead of the ongoing elderly relief camp.

He rushed out of the suffocating mansion, took an auto to Jagdish Temple.

Stepping out of the auto, he hurriedly rushed to the operations department outside the camp. He inquired about the ladies who has given birth of 20th October, 2000 sourcing his connections.

While a list with two names were forwarded to him, he read out Ms Simran Agastya name a little loud.

Looking aside he saw an emotionless Aarohi walking out of the camp and a nurse was running behind, asking her to stop, his attention got diverted for a while.

Neil, recalling all that happened with Aarohi in the past few months and then checking with one of the ward boys there. He got the information that through this successful camp she had the opportunity to assist Dr Singhania. And she was assigned to treat Ms Simran Agastya.

Suddenly he started feeling restless, to know the answers he started to chase her..

While he could only hear her faint voice - Ms Simran, Neil, Dr Birla..

He ran faster till he saw a truck coming in full speed and Aarohi not responding to any of the driver's horns or his voice.

He without caring about anything else at that moment rushed towards her, saved her life risking his.

Flashback ends

And there she came back to reality of a celebration, a celebration of her dilemma of not able to share this new to Neil and failing one more chance to fulfill her dream.
