as he is semi dressed in his shirt. Kartik is surprised at first but soon gets concerned as he could feel wetness. He holds her by her waist and looks into her eyesand sees tears
Kartik: What happened Naira?
Naira: Kartik woh...
Kartik in mind: Krishna ji..why are Shubham's thoughts disturbing her this much?
Kartik: Naira..tell me...
Naira: Pata nahi Kartik..Im feeling an unknown emptiness inside me, maybe the emptiness of a mom's place
Kartik: Naira..I know I can't be your mother but still Ill try my best...
Naira: Kartik..I know from the time we came to Mumbai you are trying your level to give the love of the entire family but still..I could not share this with anyone as they will get emotional thinking of mumma
Kartik wipes her tears
Kartik: I know..and Im happy that you are at least sharing your thoughts with me. Shall I stay home today?
Naira tries to get off his hold
Naira: Harkis nahi...dont behave like Luv Kush..finding reasons to bunk..you are teacher Kartik..not a student
Kartik: Teacher nahi Professor KG
Naira: Acha kuch bhi...ab ache bache ki tarah college jaa
Kartik: Nahi..
Naira: What nahi...go..Kartik
She atlast gets off his hold.
Naira: If I stay here you will not leave Im going to others. You go to college
Naira walks out, Kartik smiles and gets ready. The scene freezes

Jaipur

Aashi and Swarna reach Jaipur, at the same time Akshara reaches the hospital which is conducting the medical camp. As the car waits in the signal Swarna opens Akshara's diary

Dear diary,

Today's birthday party went so well. After Naitik came back I forgot you but again today I felt like sharing things with you. Kartik has some anger towards his parents like Naira had with us. All I wish is that Naira helps Kartik reunite with his family like he helped Naira in reuniting with me. Unse pehle hi unki taqdeer milgayi. Aaj mein aur Naitik bhi iss bare mein baat kar rahe the. Pata nahi kyu par ek ajeeb dar hai mann mein..I feel like missing something big. So will be going to the temple today..to pray for Kartik and Naira. Meri beti ki shaadi acche se dono parivaron ke saamne unke aashirvaad ke saath hojaye..bas yahi dua hai meri

A tear slips Swarna's eye. She closes the diary in a reflex
Swarna: Naira..she must not have wantedly hid Shubham's addiction to me. She is pregnant now..am I being so unreasonable in being angry with her? She was the one who brought Kartik to me..she supported me when everyone accused me in hiding Shubham's birth secret. Ek maa hoke I could not find out about Shubham. He told Naira and not me..maybe I failed as a mother?
With thoughts racing through her mind they reach the hospital. Swarna and Ashi get inside..on the way they cross the room where Akshara is admitted. She is all dizzy and confused.
Doctor: Madam...whats your name? Please try to recollect
Akshara:A...a...a se shuru hota hai...aaahhhh
She holds her head and shouts
Doctor: No worries..
She gets seizures
The other doctor: Sir..yesterday too the same happened..after regaining consciousness she said few names and then got seizures
Doctor: Its normal only ..we can treat her
The other doc: But her identity?
Doctor: What names did she tell?
Other doc: Some...yeah remember it...Naitik and Naira...
Swarna and Ashi hear the name Naira and stop to pay attention
Doctor: Maybe her family..as you said you found her in a foothill right..so maybe she has a small clot in brain causing this seizures...try to access the local police station with the details of falling from a hill and the names you heard. We will find her family
Swarna could not believe her ears. She stands there still. The scene freezes
