Om was over the moon hearing gauri say about him being a good dad.

Holding her hands in his he says gauri tumhe pta hai main humesha se papa banna chahta tha; apne bachon ko wo sab dena chahta tha main jo mujhe nhn mila. Main tumhara shukarguzaar hoon jo tumne mujhe yeh mauka diya.. Tumhari wajah se he aaj mere...Nhn nhn humare bache aaj iss duniya main. Main tumse yeh waada karta hoon ki main humare bachon ko sabse oopar rakhunga; hamesha une liye wo sab karunga jo aaj tak mere liye kisine nhn kiya; kabhi main wo galti nhn dohaaraunga jo maine tumhare saath ki hai... and bows down his head

( Gauri I had always desired to be a dad. I wanted to give my kids what I had craved for and never got in my childhood. I'm indebted to you for giving me this golden chance. Today, because of you I have my—no no our kids in this world. I promise to be always prioritize our kids; I promise to do everything I wanted somebody to do for me; I promise to never deal with them like I did with you..)

Gauri has happy tears in her eyes seeing om prioritize the kids. She is happy seeing this change..

Gauri beta!! Main bhi tumse maafi maangna chahti hoon. Main tumhari gunhegaar hoon; Uss waqt main tumhare saath nhn khadi ho paayi jab tumhe meri zaroorat thi. Main tumahre liye ek achi maa nhn ban paayi; bat gyi thi main uss waqt. Bat gyi thi apne pati ke pyaar aur apni bahu ki dekhbaal ke beech; galat chunav kar liya tha maine. Shayad issiliye ab tak main uski saza bhugat rahi hoon... Apne bache ko roz tadapta dekhna kisi maa ke liye aasan nhn hota; aur na he aasan hota hai apne pote poti se door rehna kisi daadi ke liye. Please mujhe maaf kardo beta...!! Main sahi roop main rayan aur omira ki daadi tabhi banungi jab tum mujhe maaf kardogi...Tumahari maafi ke bina aadhori reh jaayegi meri yeh khushi mere bacha!! Says jhanvi stepping forward...

( Gauri my child!! I would also like to apologize to you. I am your felon; I wasn't there for you; I could not stand with you or for you when you needed me the most. I could not prove to be a good mother to you; I was divided; Divided between the love for my husband or the care of my DIL; I became selfish and made a wrong choice. Probably this is why I am suffering till now... Neither is it a piece of cake for a mother nor is it as cinch as it may seem for a mother/grandmother to see her child suffer everyday or to stay away from her grandkids. Please pardon me my child!! I can only take on the role of being a grandmom for rayan and omira after you have forgiven me completely. My joy of being a grandma will not be fulfilled until I get you to forgive me from your heart.)

Jhanvi aunty main aapse naaraz nhn hoon..replies gauri politely.. ( Jhanvi aunty I am no longer angry wuith you)

Naraaz nhn ho toh kyun aunty keh rahi ho...Dil main chubta hai yeh shabd mujhe...Waise he maa kaho na jaise pehle kehti thi...Kaan taras gye hain mere tumahre mooh se maa sunne ke liye jhanvi speaks emotionally while folding her hands. ( Why are you addressing me as aunty if you aren't angry any longer.  My heart stings everytime I hear you call me aunty. Call me maa like you used to before; My ears are waiting to hear maa with your soulful voice.)

Aunty aapko maa kehna sahi nhn hoga humare liye. Pehle hum inki patni the aur usi naate aapki bahu bhi par ab hum sirf inke bachon ki maa hain aapke liye aur duniya ke liye humari pehchaan riya sharma hai.. Mera koi haq nhn hai aapko maa kehne ka....says gauri with a calm face. ( Aunty it won't be right on my part to address you as mother. I was his wife and your DIL thus used to call you as maa but now things have changed and now I am just the mother of his kids for you and riya sharma for the world. I have no right to call you maa)

Gauri kya tum abhi tak mujhe maaf nhn kar paayi ho? Asks om seeing gauri not obliging to his mother... ( Gauri have you not forgiven me till now)

Aapne maafi maangi kab? Aur waise bhi aapka maafi maanga aur humara maaf karna hum dono ki puraani aadat hai... Chaliye fer ek baar hum aapko maaf kar dete hain replies gauri sarcastically... ( when did you ask me for forgiveness?? Anyways isn't this an everyday thing in our relation—You commit a mistake and say sorry and I forgive you. Nevermind!! Once again I will forgive you)
