*The next morning, at the Oberoi mansion*

[It was a bright morning, and everyone was seated at the breakfast table.
A night had passed and no one knew that Gauri had left the house. Om too behaved like nothing affected him, like he wasn't bothered by Gauri's departure.]

Dadi: Arre, Gauri naashte ke liye kyun nahi aayi?

Anika: Dadi, woh bahut dard mein Hai, shaayad woh akele mein waqt bitaana chah rahi ho?

Dadi: Arre phir bhi! Usne kal raat bhi kuch nahi khaaya hai! Anika, jaa puttar, usse khaana dekar aa

Anika: (Getting up) Ji Dadi

Om: Gauri yahaan nahi hai.

Shivaay: Kya matlab nahi hai?

Om: (Emotionless) Matlab woh chali gayi hai

Dadi: Chali gayi hai? Kahaan?

Om: Mujhe nahi pata

Shivaay: Om, tu Kya keh raha Hai? Kahaan gayi hai Gauri?

Om: (Shouting) Maine kaha na, mujhe nahi pata! Woh ghar chor ke chali gayi hai!

Anika: (Dropping the tray in her hand) K-Kya?

Shivaay: Kyun Chor ke chali gayi? Om, saaf saaf batao Kya kiya hai tumne? Kal raat Kya hua?

Om: Wahi hua, jo hona chahiye tha!

Jhanvi: Om! Yeh Kya bol rahe ho tum?!

Om: Woh jhooti ladki thi hi iss laayak! Hum Saab ka istemaal kiya hai usne! Zabardasti waali shaadi ka badla le rahi thi woh!

Jhanvi: Are you mad? Tum hosh mein bhi ho?

Om: Pehle nahi tha, Lekin ab hosh mein hoon! Woh ladki ek number ki dhokebaaz hai! Woh yeh baccha kabhi chahti hi nahi thi! Iss ne yeh sab pehle se plan kiya tha!

Shivaay: Do you hear yourself? Tu Gauri ke baare mein aise soch bhi kaise sakta hai! Tum usse pyaar---

Om: (Shouting) Nahi bhaiyya! Pyaar nahi, nafrat karta hoon usse. Beintehaa nafrat. Woh jaanboojkar unn seediyon se giri, taaki woh baccha duniya mein na aaye!

Dadi: (Crying) Haye rabba! Om, tu pagal ho gaya hai! Yeh Kya Chal raha hai iss ghar mein? Kisse poochkar tune Gauri ko ghar se baahar bhej diya, bol!

Om: Woh khud chali gayi thi!

Shivaay: I'm sure issne Gauri ko itna daata hoga ki Woh khud chali gayi hogi! Chalti kyun nahi? Jab Woh aspatal mein thi, tab tu usske kareeb bhi nahi gaya! How could you do this Om?

Om: Bhaiyya, Woh ladki na mere pyaar na mere izzat ki laayak thi! Accha hua Woh chali gayi! Kamsekam iss Family ka istemaal toh nahi karegi!

Shivaay: (Shouting) Ho Kya gaya hai Tumhe? Dadi, Badi maa, Kaun Hai yeh shaks? Yeh humaara Om toh nahi hai!

Om: Aap log uski asliyat nahi jaante! Arre choti sheher ki ladkiyaan aisi hi hoti hain!

Shivaay: Enough! Rudra, Chal! Aaj hum Gauri ko waapis lekar aayenge

Om: (Stopping Shivaay) Aap uss dhokebaaz ke liye, apne hi bhai ki baat thukra rahe ho?

Shivaay: Agar tu mera Om hota, toh aisi bakwaas kabhi nahi bolta. How can you be so selfish? Arre uss ladki ne apne seene mein goli li thi, Tumhaari jaan bachaane ke liye! Tumhe Kya lagta hai, miscarriage ka dukh sirf Tumhe hi hua? Arre uss bechaari ne apna baccha khoya tha! Kya kuch nahi kiya hai humaare liye!

Om: Maine bhi kitna kuch kiya tha! Usse shaadi ki, sirf uski jaan bachaane ke liye! Iss parivaar ki pyaar aur izzat ka yeh sila diya usne? Woh baccha bhi nahi rakh sakti?!

Dadi: (Crying) Bass karo tum dono! Bass! Shivaay, tu ja, Gauri ko dhoond kar aa, Om, tu mere saath Chal! Abhi!

Om: Main kahi nahi jaaonga! Arre aap logo ko meri baat samajh kyun nahi aa rahi? Woh ladki ek dhokebaaz hai! Uske mera baccha khoya hai!

Dadi: Baccha sirf Tera nahi tha puttar! Baccha Gauri ka bhi tha! Tujhe lagta hai ki sirf tu uss bacche ki parwaah karta tha?

Shivaay: Choriye Dadi! Yeh Humaara Om nahi raha. Aapko pata hai kal raat Woh kaha tha? Bar mein! Apne dosto ke saath sharaab pi raha tha yeh!

Jhanvi: (Caressing Om's cheek) I can't believe yeh tum ho Om. Kya hoga Hai Tumhe beta? Kyun iss tarah se behave kar rahe ho?

Om: (Pushing her hands away) Aap logo se baat karna hi fizool hai! Pata nahi Kya jadoo kar diya Hai uss ladki ne!

[Om stormed upstairs to his room, while the whole family mourned the departure of Gauri.

How could Om just kick her out of the house?]

Dadi: (Crying) Kya ho raha Hai iss ghar mein? Yeh ishqbaazo ka ghar tha! Lekin ab jahaan jaao, waha sirf nafrat dikhai deti hai!

Rudra: (Consoling Dadi) Dadi, Gauri bhabhi iss ghar mein waapis aayegi, zaroor aayegi!

Dadi: Kaise aayegi puttar! Om toh uska naam hi nahi sunna chahta! Kya ho gaya hai usse?

Rudra: (Crying) Mujhe khud nahi pata Dadi, Lekin O ne yeh sahi nahi kiya!

Jhanvi: Gauri, Om ke liye bani thi! Kya kuch nahi kiya usne humaare liye! Aur Om ne usse ghar ke baahar hi kar diya? Yeh mera beta nahi hai! Yeh mera Om nahi hai!

Anika: (Crying) Pata nahi Kahaan hogi, kiss haalat mein hogi bechaari! Om ne sahi nahi kiya!

Shivaay: Rudy, mujhe important meeting ke liye jaana hai lekin tum jao aur Gauri ko dhoondo. Kal raat gayi thi, I'm sure woh abhi bhi iss shehar mein hogi.

Rudra: Theek hai bhaiyya

Shivaay: Hopefully woh mil jaayien! Aur haan, Khanna ko bhi bolo ki woh alert rahe, Saare railway stations aur airport par log rakhein. Gauri iss shehar se baahar chali gayi, toh usse milna bahut mushkil ho jaayega

Rudra: Ji bhaiyya

Shivaay: Anika, Dadi aur Badi ma ka khyaal rakhna, okay? Shaam ko tum mandir ke chakkar lagaana, shaayad wahaan Gauri mil jaayien

Anika: Theek hai Shivaay

[As Shivaay left for work, Rudra immediately set off to hunt for Gauri. Little did they know that she wouldn't be found in Mumbai, little did they know that she was gone.

Om, on the other hand sat on his bed, remorseless. He didn't repent at all. No one knew what led to such a buildup of anger in him, but he was certain that sending Gauri out of the house was the right decision to make.
His eyes fell on the picture of the two of them, that was on his bedside table, and in a jolt of anger, slammed the photo frame on the floor, shattering the glass and the significance of the picture behind it.

He loathed Gauri, and every memory related to her.

Despite that, he wasn't able to get Gauri out of his head. She had taken over his mind in an unusual way.]

*Meanwhile, in Bareilly*

[Tired and groggy Gauri finally reached the doorstep of the orphanage, after a long journey. This was where she spent her life before Om, and this was where she would spend it after him.

A few knocks later, Shweta finally opened the door and saw Gauri.]

Shweta: (Surprised) Arre Gauri tum!...Arre? Kya hua? Hey bhagwaan! Maasi! Yahaan aayie! Maasi!

[Shweta immediately took Gauri in and helped her sit on a chair, while Maasi ran in to find out what happened.]

Maasi: (Worried) Arre Kya hua? Gauri, meri bacchi! Kya hua tujhe? Shweta, paani lekar aa, Jaldi!

[As Shweta ran off to get the water, Maasi continued consoling Gauri, trying to figure out what happened to her. When Shweta returned, Gauri narrated the entire incident of how she fell down the stairs, the mistake in the miscarriage report, how Om mistrusted her and eventually threw her out of the house.
Gauri was wailing uncontrollably as she narrated the incident.]

Shweta: Bahut accha kiya ki ussi Minute wahaan se nikal gayi! Arre mujhe toh yakeen nahi ho raha ki woh wahi insaan hai! Chor Gauri, uss jaise manhoos aadmi ki koi zaroorat nahi hai!

Maasi: Lekin Gauri, tere sasuraal waalo ne roka nahi?

Gauri: Arre nahi maasi, hum raat ke 2 baje ghar se chale gaye! Mujhe pata hai ki agar unhe khabar hoti, toh woh Hume kabhi jaane nahi dete

Shweta: Shukr Hai ki baccha toh hai! Gauri, tu Bilqul chinta mat le! Yeh tumhara ghar hai!

Gauri: Haan Shweta...Humne socha Hai ki hum kal se kaam karenge

Maasi: Bilqul nahi! Arre tum pet se ho! Woh bhi 5 mahine ki! Yeh waqt bahut kimti hai, aur Tumhe araam karna hai! Sirf araam! Baaqi sab kuch hum sambhaalenge! Shweta, tu Gauri se baat kar, mujhe thoda kaam hai

Shweta: (Sitting besides Gauri) Mujhe yakeen nahi ho raha hai Gauri. Woh aisa kaise kar sakte hai?

Gauri: (Crying) Yakeen toh Hume nahi ho raha hai, Shweta. Kiss aadmi se mohabbat ho gayi thi hume? Aisa gussa toh humne pehle kabhi nahi dekha Hai!

Shweta: Yeh ameer ghar ke ladke, aise hi hote hai! Ekdum ghamandi! Lekin ab tu Sab kuch bhool ja! Tu Bareilly mein hai! Apne ghar mein!

Gauri: Omkaraji se bhale humaara rishta na ho, Lekin woh parivaar...woh Humaara parivaar tha. Humaare Shivaay bhaiyya, jo bhai ki tarah humaari raksha Karte the, Anika bhojai, jinhone Badi behen ki tarah humse pyaar kiya, Rudy bhaiyya, jo dost bankar saare mushkil door Karte the, Maa aur Dadi, jinhone mujhe ehsaas dilaaya ki paraaye bhi dheere dheere apne ban jaate hai. Humne sirf pati hi nahi, apna parivaar khoya hai, Shweta

Shweta: Gauri, meri baat maan. Tumhaare gharwaale khud yahaan aayenge Tumhe lene. Mujhe pura yakeen hai.

Gauri: (Wiping her tears) P-pata nahi Shweta. Lekin ab Humne apni jindagi iss bacche ke naam kar di hai. Chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye, ee baccha Humaara chirag banega, dooriyon ko mita dega

*Meanwhile at the Oberoi mansion*

[Anika was pacing up and down the room, thinking of where Gauri could go.

Shivaay and Rudra scanned the entire city, but Gauri was nowhere to be found. They had then realized that maybe Gauri had left the city, and gone back home to Bareilly.

As Anika was trying to figure out what to do next, her phone began ringing rather loudly. After several rings she finally picked up the phone.]

*On the phone*
Anika: (Irritated) Kaun Hai?

Phone: I'm so sorry, Kya main Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi se baat kar rahi hoon?

Anika: Ji, Batayie

Phone: Main hospital se phone kar rahi hoon, Humne Gauri ka ilaaj karwaya tha?

Anika: Dekhiye, Mujhe pata Hai baccha kho gaya hai

Phone: Arre, Gauri ne Aapko bataaya nahi?

Anika: (Confused) Ek Minute. Kya nahi bataaya?

Phone: Arre Humne galat report padha tha! Gauri ka miscarriage nahi hua hai! She's still pregnant! I'm so sorry humse galti ho gayi thi!

Anika: Galti ho gayi thi? Aapko yeh sab mazaak lag raha Hai? Aapko pata hai aapki iss bhool ki wajah se kitna raita phail gaya hai?

*Shivaay and Rudra enter*

Shivaay: Anika, phone par chilla kyun rahi ho?

Anika: (On the phone) Phone rakhiye! Besharam kahike!

Rudra: Bhabhi, Gauri bhabhi kahi nahi mili! Mujhe lagta Hai woh kal raat ko hi Bareilly ke liye nikal gayi!

Anika: (Tearing) Bhagwaan jab kuch let a Hai, toh saath bahut kuch deta bhi hai

Shivaay: Kya? Kya matlab?

[Anika narrated the doctors words to Shivaay and Rudra, and they got to know that Gauri was indeed pregnant.]

Rudra: Toh hum intezaar kyun kar rahe Hai! Main abhi O ko---

Shivaay: (Holding Rudra's arm) Tu aisa kuch nahi karega! Koi yeh raaz kissi se nahi kahega! Om ka koi bharosa nahi hai!

Anika: Agar Gauri ko pata tha ki report mein galti thi, toh woh waapis kyun nahi aayi? Om se baat kyun nahi ki?

Shivaay: Kyun aayegi woh? I'm sure Om ne usse bahut insult kiya hoga! Om ko apne kiye par pachtaana chahiye!

Anika: Tu Kya karein? Haath pe haath rakh kar baith jaayien? Pata nahi woh bechaari kiss haalat mein hogi!

Rudra: Mujhe lagta hai hume wait karna chahiye. Jab tak baccha paida na ho jaaye, tab tak Hume kuch nahi karna chahiye

Anika: 4 mahine ke liye intezaar?

Rudra: Haan. In fact, baccha jab atleast 6 mahine ka ho jaaye, tab timing Bilqul sahi hai

Shivaay: Rudra sahi keh raha hai. Hume atleast 10 mahino ka intezaar karna hoga. Tab tak maamla thanks Ho jaayega, aur hopefully, Om ka gussa bhi.

Anika: Hey bhagwaan, Sab sambhaal Lena!
