Om gets out of his car and runs inside and sees the entire family crying in pain. Annika is sitting on the floor, crying with Rudra and Bhavya consoling her.
O: What happened to Shivaye?
R: He got into a car accident and no one can find him. We do not know what to do. Om, what if Shivaye died….
A: No…. Shivaye will never leave us like this. He will never bail on family.
Om sits beside them. Now, he had act like the mature person and not break down in front of them. He had to supress his feelings.
O: Guys, nothing will happen to him. I know Shivaye and I promise you that Shivaye will come back.
O: Khanna, come with me upstairs and give me all the information you have received. (Thinking) I am acting so tough in front of them but only I know how much pain am I in.
They both head upstairs and in 30 minutes they come down. As Om comes down, he feels Gauri’s presence in the living room. He looks around and Gauri is not there.
O(Thinking): Why am I imagining such things. She can never be here.
As he comes down the stairs and heads outside, he hears a female saying, ” Do not worry, Annika. Bade Bhaiyya will come back. He never leaves his family behind.”
O(Thinking): Gauri…
He turns around and sees Annika’s head rested on Gauri’s shoulder, consoling her.
Gauri looks at Om and he looks back at her (Male Saathiya plays).
G(Thinking): I need to talk to him but this is not a good time.
O(Thinking): How can I talk to her when my family is in a trouble.
G: Annika, do not cry. Bade Bhaiyya is the pillar of this family and nothing will happen to him. (Tears in her eyes) He is my brother and my brother will never leave me by myself again.
Om nods at Gauri and heads out to find Shivaye. As soon as he steps forward, the door opens wide and Shivaye comes in.
O: Shivaye… Shivaye!!
Everyone looks and Shivaye was standing there. Annika runs to him.
A: Shivaye, we were so worried about you. Where did you go?
S: What about you??
A: Uh.. (She does not answer the question.)
S: To tell you the truth, I do not care if you were worried for me. (He faces the family.) I go out of the car before the accident happened.
Annika goes upstairs and the entire family leaves except for Gauri, Dadi, Shivaye and Om. Shivaye looks at Gauri and walks toward her.
S: Gauri, I am glad you are back. We were all missing you.
G(Tears in her eyes and sad): Do you know how scared I was when Om told me when you got into a car accident?
S: Om?? When did you talk to Om?
O: We met accidentally… but let’s not talk about that
Gauri, unable to hold her tears, runs up to Shivaye and hugs him.
G: Next time, please do not scare us like this.
Shivaye consoles her by stroking her hair.
S: Gauri, now that nothing happened to me, you do not need to cry anymore. Just calm down. I miss that smile. Can you please smile for me?
Gauri wipes her tears and smiles like a little kid.
S: That is what I need to brighten my day. Om, I am tired so I am going to upstairs. Let’s talk later.
Shivaye goes upstairs. Gauri goes to Dadi, says something. Dadi nods and leaves to her room. She comes back and gives something to Dadi.
G: Thank you, Dadi. Do not worry. I am here.
Om smiles. (Thinking) She is finally back to the mansion. Back to me.
Gauri walks toward Om.
G: We need to talk. Can we go somewhere private?
