Haseena rushes to the police headquarters. As soon as she steps inside the headquarters, she looks here and there to find Anubhav. Her heart stops beating when she finds him sitting on a chair before the SP. His hands are resting on the table. His face is calm. There are no emotions on it.

She slowly takes steps towards him. She puts her soft hands on his shoulder. He looks at her. The SP also looks at them.

Anubhav passes a small smile to her. She is expressionless with teary eyes. 

Haseena looks at the SP for a second, and he nods silently. 

Anubhav gets up and goes to a corner of the room with her. Both look into each other's eyes. They want to say many things. They want to talk a lot but don't find any words right now.  

Haseena soflty, "Yeh... Anu, aap yeh..."

"Aap itni ashcharya chakit (surprised) kyun ho gayi, Priye?" He asks her, "Humne toh woh hi kiya jo aap chahti thi. Aapko toh khush hona chahiye naa..."

She sighs, "Kya aapko itna bhi zaroori nahi laga ki aap hume bata dete yanha aane se pehle?"

He looks down. She can feel the pinch of guilt inside him.

He replies, "Yadi uss samay aapko batate hum durbal (kamzor) pad jaate!"

"Toh kya hum aapki kamzori hain?" She asks painfully.

He looks into her eyes and holds her hand, "Haseena, yeh aap kya keh rahi hain? Aap humari durbalta kaise ho sakti hain? Aap hi toh humari shakti hain. Parantu hume bhi toh samjhiye. Humare liye yeh nirnay lena bahut kathin tha. Mann mein kitni baar aaya ki keval yeh kaam chhod dete hain hamesha ke liye parantu swayam ko kaanoon ke saamne samarpit nahi karenge. Agar aisa hua toh pata nahi kab tak sabse door rehna hoga, aapse door rehna hoga!"

Her breath hitches, and he continues, "Parantu aparadh ka dand toh milna hi chahiye naa... Iss liye bahut sochne ke baad, swayam se ladne ke baad hum nirnay le paaye. Yadi aapko batate toh aur aapke paas thode kshan aur rehte toh phir se hum aapke prem ke moh mein apne nirnay se bhatak jaate. Keval iss liye humne apako nahi bataya aur subah hone se pehle hi aapke ghar se nikal pade."

A lone tear falls on her cheek. Wiping her tears, he speaks sweetly, "Priye, aapko bhi pata hain ki hum jo bhi kar rahe hain, sahi kar rahe hain. Aap bhi toh yeh hi chahti thi. Aur hum bhi yanhi chahte the. Bas samjhne mein humse thoda vilamb ho gaya. Par abhi toh sab thik hain. Phir yeh ashru kyun? Aapko pata hain, aap rote hue bilkul bhi achchhi nahi lagti."

She is about to say something when they hears a loud voice.

"ANU" Pushpa ji enters the room, totally devastated, followed by Neil and Karishma. 

Santu is not with them, and Cheetah is with her. She wanted to come and see her Bunny, but Cheetah made her understand that she should stay with him only. Neil had called Cheetah when Santu was getting out of control.

Haseena and Anubhav look at them. Pushpa ji comes near Anubhav, taking slow steps. She stands in front of him.

He lowers his head and says, "Maa, hum jaante hain ki iss samay aapke mann mein kya hain. Hume pata hain ki aapke paas bahut saare prashn hain jiske uttar aapko chahiye. Hum jaante hain ki iss samay aapko kitni peeda ho rahi hain. Hume kshama kar dijiye. Humare kaaran phirse aapko dukhi hona pad raha hain. Parantu Maa, yeh hi satya hain."
