Mrinu had been standing on the entrance and heard most of what Nilu said before fainting. She saw the pain and shattered state at Byom's declaration that she didn't know him. And then her going unconscious. But right now she needs to talk to her son.

Mrinu: Bukku main chahti hu ke tum Nilu se na milo. Balki kuchh din tak uske samne bhi naa aao.

Byom : Mimi aap naraz ho isliye aisa keh rahe ho? Phir nahi datunga aapki Nilu ko kabhi, maine socha hai mafi bhi maang lunga usse main....Aap apne bukku ko maaf nahi karengi?

Aap itna socho mat... Theek hai?

Mrinu nodded her head in agreement but she doubted that whatever issue Nilu had was something which was going away soon. It was something deeper than all them could comprehend...

In the Morning...

Nilu was better and was trying to sit up. When Byom came in with a tray....
