After some time, Sid returned to the hotel. Opening the door, he found Sana still peacefully sleeping. Sitting beside her, he couldn't help but admire her innocent baby face and the cute pout she had while sleeping. Gently running his hands through her hair, he traced his fingers over the bruises on her face, causing her to flinch slightly and he stopped. He softly caressed her cheeks with the back of his palm, and she smiled gently, recognizing his touch.
Sid: Baby ut ja... dopeher ho gai hai.
Sana: Pls Sidharth sone do na thodi der aur.
Sid: Baby we have to go to the commissioner's office. He had called.
Sana opens her eyes
Sana: Mujhe nahi jana.... Mujhe dar lag raha hi.
Sid: Kyun?
Sana: Who log wahan honge tho???
Sid: Caresses her cheeks: Woh tho lock up ya jail mein honge na...
Sana: Who log bahar nikal gaye tho phirse hum sab ko maarne ki koshish karenge.
Sid: Tho we must try ke who naa ho. Hai na? So go get ready we must leave soon.
Sid's words were filled with determination, his eyes reflecting his resolve to protect her at all costs. Sid kisses her forehead and Sana gets up reluctantly, her eyes showcased a mix of apprehension and weariness. While she freshened up in the washroom, Sid took a moment to order some food.
Though Sid was maintaining a happy exterior, his mind was filled with with concern, his heart heavy with the weight of their ordeal. After Sana recorded her statement, they made their way to the hospital, where they visited Amit, their conversation a mix of relief and anxiety. Sana and Baaz then went to see Bauji, whose peaceful slumber brought a sense of solace amidst the chaos. The Doctors informed them that his condition was stable and he would be shifted to a room real soon.
They sat in Jiju's room waiting for bauji to be shifted to a room. Baaz did not tell sana that their mom was coming. Every body was busy in conversations when Baaz's phone buzzed. He exited the room and after 2 minutes came back with their mother. (we will call her Mumma Gill "MG")
MG: Sana... (She called softly)
Sana's heart skipped a beat as she turned and caught sight of her mother standing beside Baaz. Tears welled up in their eyes as a flood of emotions surged between them. Without a second thought, Sana dashed towards her mother, her arms outstretched, longing for the comforting embrace she had missed dearly.
As they enveloped each other in a tight hug, tears streamed down their cheeks, carrying with them the weight of all the unspoken words and pent-up emotions that had lingered between them. In that poignant moment, amidst the silent exchange of love and understanding, a sense of solace washed over Sana's soul, easing the burden she had carried for so long.
Breaking the embrace, Sana gazed into her mother's eyes, finding solace in the gentle warmth of her touch. With a tender smile, her mother lovingly caressed her head.
SM: Meri bachi... Kya halat kar di hai un darindo ne... (She said, her voice trembling as she looked at Sana's bruises.)
Sana: Maa, aap kaise ho? (Sana's voice choked with tears.)
SM: Tujhe dekh liya main, abhi ek dum theek hoon... (She embraced Sana tightly, planting kisses on her forehead.)
Sana: Main bata nahi sakthi main kitni khush hoon. Aapko dekh ke... (She sobbed, holding her mother even closer.)
Both mother and daughter held onto each other, tears flowing freely as they shared a moment of overwhelming relief and gratitude.
Baaz: Mere ko bhi koi poochega? Sana mil gayi tho aap mujhe bhool gayi??? (He complained in a playful yet dramatic way to lighten the mood)
Sana and maa smiled, opening their arms to include Baaz in their embrace. They shared a warm group hug, their hearts overflowing with love and relief.
Sid: Kya main aap logon ko thoda disturb kar saktha hoon??
Sana: Nahi... (She replied, still teary-eyed.)
Sid: Yeh kehke aap ne mera dil thod diya madam... (He teased, making a playful pout.)
Sana turned to Sid, laughing through her tears, and took his hand, leading him towards her mother.
Sana: Maa... yeh... Sidharth hai... Mera... I mean, aapka... I mean... (She blushed furiously, stumbling over her words.)
Sid: hello aunty... main aapki beti se pyar karta hoon aur shadi karna chahta hoon. Hum bauji ka Ashirwad lene yahan aaye the aur yeh sab ho gaya. (Sid interjected, his words coming out in a rush.)
Sana looked at him, a mix of shock and amazement in her eyes. Mumma Gill smiled, watching their interaction.
MG: Mujhe pata hai. Baaz ne bataya mujhe aap ke bare mein. (She said, addressing Sid with a warm smile.)
Ma: Hello, hum pehle baat kar chuke hain... main Sid ki ma hoon... (Rita ma introduced herself)
MG: Rita ji... pata nahi aapka shukriya kaise ada karun. Aap ne meri bachi ko bohot pyar se sambhala... (MG expressed her gratitude, folding her hands before embracing Rita ma, who reciprocated the hug.)
Ma: Aap ki bachi hai hi itni pyari. Hamari khushiyan lautayi hai isne. (She gently caressed Sana's cheeks before smiling at Sid.)
As Mumma Gill acquainted herself with the rest of the family, they all sat in Amit's room. Sana clung to her mother's side, reluctant to let her out of her sight even for a moment, while Sid observed them with a fond smile, marveling at their bond.
Meanwhile, one nurse entered the room and informed them that Bauji had been moved to the room next to Amit. The family, along with Sid and his mother, went to check on him. Sana sat beside Bauji, her hand softly stroking his forehead as tears welled up in her eyes.
Sana: Aapne aisa kyun kiya bauji? Itne saal mujhe apne se door rakha... (Her voice trembled with emotion.)
Mumma Gill went near her, wrapped her in a comforting embrace and placed gentle kisses on her head.
MG: Na beta... ro mat. Unke uthne ke baad sab kuch clear ho jayega. (She tried to pacify her)
Sana: Kya aapko pata tha? (She inquired)
MG: Nahi... Main bhi jaanna chahti hoon ki unhone yeh kyun chupaya...
Mumma Gill continued to comfort Sana, running her fingers through her hair as they waited for Bauji to wake up. Amit was scheduled to be discharged the next day, and Sid had received some interesting news from the DCP regarding the case.
