"Roo...." Bani Dadi said again observing her youngest granddaughter looking so lost. Roo finally looked at her grandmother seeking solace, Bani opened her arms and engulfed Roo into a hug. Roo finally broken down and wailed in agony. Still unsure of what had led her chirpy granddaughter to this state Bani slowly moved them to the sofa and sat down with Roo in her embrace.

"Roo, beta tu toh London mein thi na, yaha kese? Or tu shadhi ke jodhe me? Yeh saab kya hai?

"He he...le...left me Dadi, he he..left me. I...I can't I can't live...live without him Dadi! Please... please bring him back, please tell him I didn't do an...any anything wr...wrong," she begged through her sobs.

Not knowing what to do Bani called to her family "Rakhee, Kareena, Karan, Rishabh, Sameer, Rishabh, Karan". Hearing the panic in Dadi's voice all the family members rushed out of their room to be greeted by the shocking site of Roo in a miserable state. "Roo... Yeh..." Kritika started but the shock didn't allow her to continue.

Rishabh, Karan, Kritika and Sameer rushed to their little sister and Rishabh drew her away from Dadi and into his embrace. Mahira and Romona stood to the side unsure of what they should do.

Before Rishabh could say anything further Kareena started firing questions,

"Roo tum yaha? Our tum yeh Dulhan ke kapre me kya kar rahi ho?" at this Roo started to sob again. She clutched on to Rishabh as if he was the only thing keeping her from drowning but didn't reply to Kareena Bua's question. "Roo mein tumse kuch pooch rahi hoon" Kareena snapped not receiving any answers.

"Calm down Bua, can't you see her state?" Karan's patience snapped seeing the way his sister was breaking down.

"Meine sunna toh tha ke jab hum kisi ka dil torne ka gunah karte hai toh bhagwan uski saza zarur dete hai. Aaj dekh bhi liya." Everyone turned towards Rakhee. In all the drama no one noticed that she stood rooted near the steps not daring to come near her only daughter. Looking at the state her daughter was in she had figured out what had happened. All she could think of was what Sarla would have felt seeing her daughter in a similar state.

"Mom, yeh aap kay kehrahi hai?" Karan looked at his mother wondering why she hadn't stepped forward to comfort Roo. Karan looked away unable to stand the judgement in his mothers eyes, although he couldn't understand what she was upset at him about.

"Tumhe Roo ko dekh kar kuch yaad nahi araha hei Karan?" she questioned finally moving towards her children.

"Bhabhi, yeh aap kya kherahi hai? Our Karan se ase kyu baat kar rahi hai?" Kareena intrupted.

"Kareena Di, mein apne bete se baat kar rahi hoon, jiske gunahoon ki saza meri beti, isski behn bugat rahi hai."

"Rakhee Yeh tu kya kherahi hai?"

Still looking at her son Rakhee said one wordwhich stunned all of the residents of the Luthra house into silence "Preeta..."
