They reached Poddar House and Vidya asked Kaveri to stand at the door of Poddar House. Vidya went inside and brought out aarti thaal. She applied tika on Kaveri's forehead and performed aarti by waving a lit lamp in front of her.

Vidya moved aside and let Kaveri enter. All entered behind her while Kaveri, Sanjay, Manoj and Madhav sat on sofa.

"Maa-sa, aaj humare parivaar ke liye bahut bada din tha. Aapki beizzati aur galat ilzaam se chhutkara mila hai. Hum sabko bahut khushi hai ki sachai samne aayi aur aapki masoomiyat saabit hui." Sanjay said

Manoj nodded in agreement, "Haan, Maa-sa, aapne hamesha humari family ka samman kiya hai aur aaj humein yeh sabit yeh duniya ko bhi pata chal gaya. Hum sab aap par garv karte hain."

Kaveri looked around at her family, "Mujhe vishwas hai ki insaaf ki jeet hui hai. Aaj mujhe yeh khushi mili hai ki meri masoomiyat sabit hui hai aur main apne parivaar ke saath phir se ek ho gayi hoon. Yeh meri sabse badi khushi hai."

Vidya said "Maa-sa, aapke liye hum sabne kitni chinta ki thi. Par aaj humein itni khushi hai ki aap saari mushkilon se bahar aayi hain."

Madhav placed a reassuring hand on Kaveri's shoulder, "Maa-sa, aaj aapke saath insaaf hua hai, lekin iske peeche jo dukh aur takleef hai, voh bhoolna asaan nahi hai. Aapko in sab mein se Abhira ne nikala hai. Aur voh abhi bohot toot chuki hai."

"Haa Maa-sa, ek baar ke liye bhale hi Abhira ne aap pe bharosa naa kiya ho lekin usi ne aapki is problem se bahar nikala hai. Aur sac kahu toh aapse jyada kathinaayi Abhira ne sahi hai." Manisha said.

Everyone looked at her in shock.

"Manisha, yeh kya bol rahi ho tum?" Manoj asked angrily.

"Mannu, mai sahi keh rahi hu. Aap sabne use gusse mein itna kuch suna diya hai. Uski itni insult kar di hai ki aap sach bhi nahi sakte. Usne sirf aap sabse bharosa maanga tha lekin badle mein aapne use gussa aur thappad diya hai." Manisha said.

"Armaan ne Abhira ki parvarish par sawal kiya hai, Abhira ki mumma papa ki parvarish par sawaal kiya hai
Vidya ne use thappad maara hai. Aur toh aur usne Krish, Aaryan aur Kiara se support chaha lekin unse bhi use taane aur beizaati mili. Ek ladki ke liye apni self respect sabse badi hoti hai. Aur aapne Abhira ki self respect par ungli uthayi hai." Madhav said supporting Manisha.

Vidya's eyes welled up with tears as she listened to Manisha and Madhav's words, her heart heavy with guilt.

"Ye...yeh mai...maine kya kar diya. Jis Ab...Abhira ne hu...humesha mera saath diya us...usi ko thappad maar diya. Us....usipe bharosa nahi kiya. Me...meri jaan bachane ke liye usne kitni bada kadam uthaya tha. Aur mai....maine." She couldn't complete as she sat on the sofa and started crying.

Manisha came towards her and sat beside her trying to console her, "Jo ho gaya so ho gaya Jethani-sa. Ab aap Abhira se maafi maang lijiyega. Agar kismat aachi rahi toh voh maaf kar degi varna toh hum bhi nahi jaante ki voh beechari kya karegi. Haan, aapne ek galti ki hai, har insaan galtiyan karta hai. Sabse badi baat yeh hai ki aap us galti ko sudhaarne ke liye taiyyar ho. Aur maafi maangna ek bahut bada kadam hota hai."

Vidya looked up at Manisha, her eyes still filled with tears. "Par kya Abhira mujhe maaf karegi? Main... maine uke saath kitna bura kiya hai,"

Manisha nodded sympathetically. "Pata nahi, Jethani-sa. Par ek baat zaroor hai ki agar aap usse sachai se maafi maangogi aur apne dil ki baat us tak pahuchaengi, toh usse zaroor fark padega. Aur pata nahi, shayad uske dil mein bhi kuch badal jaye. Hum sab yehi chahte hain ki humari family phir se ek ho jaye aur sab kuch theek ho jaye."
