Separated
After the discovery of Vinayak’s truth, Sai always wanted to reveal it to her son. She comes to live in the Chavan Nivas to reveal the truth. Atlast, Sai finally gets a chance to do it and reveals it to Vinayak. Vinayak was elated to know that his biological parents were none other than the one whom he considered his own baba, Virat and the one who was his savior who gave him new life to walk without crutches, his own Doctor Aunty, Sai Joshi. Vinayak was on cloud nine after learning that his Aai-Baba were none other than Virat and Sai while Savi for whom he always showed love and care like his own sister was indeed his own little sister. Savi too was very happy to learn that Vinayak was her blood elder brother. Soon, Vinayak and Savi start spending more time with each other. The siblings bond becomes thicker which forces Sai and Virat to stay with each other.
Chavan Nivas, Open area
Vinayak and Savi were playing with each other. Vinayak suggests Savi that they should play football while Savi tells him they should play together with the doll house. They keep arguing on what to play and finally Savi says, “How good it would have been if I had a sister who would play with me with my doll house?” Vinayak, “And how good it would have been if I had a brother who would play football with me?” Savi and Vinayak sit sadly and keep thinking on having a brother and a sister and then all of a sudden they exclaim together, “We need a brother and a sister!!!” Just then Shivani comes there to serve the kids with evening drinks and snacks. Shivani was pregnant with her first child with Rajeev. The children curiously ask her, “Shivani bua, where can we get a brother and a sister?” Shivani blushes at that question. The children ask her again, “Tell us bua, where can we get a brother and a sister?” Shivani asks them, “Who brought you two to this world?” Savi and Vinayak blink at each other and tell her, “Aai-Baba” Shivani continues, “So then ask your Aai, Baba because only they can give you a brother and a sister.” Vinayak and Savi get thinking and tell each other, “We should ask Aai-Baba about it.” Vinayak tells Savi, “I will bring Baba to your and Aai’s room and we will ask them together about it.” Savi happily agrees and they both go in. Shivani sadly looks on and says, “Even if you ask your Aai-Baba for a brother and sister, they will never be able to fulfill that wish for you both because they are separated from each other by worldly pressures.”
In the night
Savi and Vinayak discuss with each other on phone about their plan to ask their Aai-Baba for a brother and sister. Savi, “Vinu Dada, Aai has already returned home. What should I do? Should I go and ask her now?” Vinayak, “No, no, wait Savi, let Baba too return home then we will ask them together.” Savi says okay and hangs up the phone. She then keeps looking out of the window waiting for Virat to return. Soon, Virat’s car arrives. Savi jumps in excitement saying, “Yay!!! Baba has come!! Baba has come!! Now I will go to Aai and Vinu Dada will come there with Baba.”
Savi comes to Sai with a glass of milk. Sai smiles at her and asks her, “What happened today that my maazi aai has brought a glass of milk for her aai?” Savi stays silent and forwards the glass of milk towards Sai. Sai takes it and keeps keenly gazing at Savi because she could sense that the latter wanted to ask her something. She keeps the glass of milk on the night table and asks Savi, “Now tell me Savi what is that you want? Because I clearly see that you have come to me for a favor.” Savi gets thinking, “Uff ho, Vinu Dada where are you? You told you will bring Baba here. Without you and Baba, how can I tell Aai that I want a sister?”
Virat and Pakhi’s bedroom
Virat is changing and Pakhi has come there with a cup of tea when Vinu comes there calling out, “Baba!! Baba!!” Virat who had finished changing himself was surprised to hear his son anxiously calling him. Virat asks Vinayak, “What is Bada? You seem to be anxious about something.” Vinayak, “Baba, me and Savi want to ask you and Aai something.” Virat asks, “What is it?” Vinayak catches Virat’s hand and pulls him saying, “Come with me!!” Vinayak pulls Virat towards Sai and Savi’s room while Patralekha gets worried. She gets thinking, “What is that Vinu wants from Sai and Virat? Hope it is not something which would take Virat away from me! I need to find out.” She follows Vinayak and Virat.
Sai and Savi’s room
Sai is still questioning Savi about what she wants when Vinayak brings Virat there. Virat asks Savi and Vinayak, “Now what is it? What is it you both want from us?” Pakhi too reaches there. Savi and Vinayak smirk at each other and exclaim together, “We want a brother and a sister!!” Virat, Sai and Pakhi were taken aback.
Virat and Sai get looking at each other (ghum hai kisikey pyaar mein plays in the background). Their eyes communicate “Vinu, Savi, how can we fulfill your wish? We are like two river banks whose water is connected together because of you both but SEPARATED from each other because of FATE!!!”
