Rajeev walked away without noticing Vaishnav. He overheard their conversation. Vaishnav rushed inside and looked at his brother with worry crept across his face. Vikramaditya didn't say anything but looked at his brother with a sad smile.

( Vaishnav : Anna ! Bava ilanti vaadu ani nenu assalu anukoledhu. ) 

Vaishnav : Anna ! I... I never thought Bava is someone of this sort.

Vikramaditya chuckled sadly.

( Vikramaditya : neeku badhulu akka ki nijam telisthey bagundedhi. ) 

Vikramaditya : I wish akka overheard everything instead of you. 

( Vaishnav : ippudey akka ki cheptha . ) 

Vaishnav : I will go and tell akka about this.

( Vikramaditya : aagu ! ) 

Vikramaditya : wait ! 

( Vaishnav : endhuku anna ? Ninnu champali anukunnadu. ) 

Vaishnav : Why anna ? He tried to kill you.

( Vikramaditya : Akka nammadhu. Vaadu ekkuva kaalam natinchaledu. ) 

Vikramaditya : Akka won't believe anything. He can't wear that mask forever.

Vaishnav : But ....

( Vaidehi : aagu vaishnav ! Aa devudi ni nammu. Antha peddha pramaadham nundi vikram ni aa devude kaapaadadu ga. ) 

Vaidehi : Calm down Vaishnav ! Believe in God ! Vikram managed to get out such a major accident with just injuries. I...

Vikramaditya held her hand as she is feeling emotional pain.

The following day they had an another visitor. this one is totally unexpected. Srihan  walked into the hospital room with a hesitant but earnest expression. His presence brought a wave of memories and emotions.

Srihan : Vaidehi !  

Srihan began and his voice is tinged with regret.

( Srihan : ippudu maatlaadatam sarinadhi kaadhu kaani nenu neeku oka vishayam cheppali. ) 

Srihan : I know this is a difficult time, but I couldn't stay away. I needed to tell you something.

Vaidehi looked up and her expression is a mix of surprise and guarded curiosity. 

( Vaidehi : ikkada em chestunnav srihan ? Nuvvu cardiology department lo undali ga  ippudu ? ) 

Vaidehi : Srihan, what are you doing here ? Aren't you supposed to be in cardiology department ?

Srihan took a deep breath and  his eyes are reflecting genuine remorse. 

( Srihan : nenu mana ghatham gurinchi alochistunna. Ninnu vadhulukunnandhuku nenu peddha moorkhudini. Naaku ippudu artham avutundhi. Nenu peddha tappu chesa. ) 

Srihan : I've been thinking a lot about our past. I was a fool to let you go. I should have valued you more. I realize that now. I did a grave mistake by cheating on you. 

Vaidehi's heart tightened as she heard the words she never expected to hear. She took a moment to compose herself before speaking. 

( Vaidehi : Nuvvu naa ghatham Srihan. Nenu ghatham vidichi jeevitham lo mundhuki vella. )
