While sagar is packing, madhavi sits tensedly. he senses she doesnt wish to leave. he asks whats keeping her back, as everyone they care for, are leaving with them, and then asks if she is still attached to niru. she gets tensed and he reminds her of what he did to her, and she starts helping him with his packing. she finds some of niru’s clothes mixed in sagar’s, and says that she shall come back having kept them in niru’s room. she leaves. he is tensed.

Ganga rushes to the temple, and then vents out her sadness at lord krishna asking him to let her faith in him intact and bring back her krishna to her, as she has been named after her, and was even born on the same day. she says that her belief in him, now lies in his hands. she leaves.

Later, while krishna prays to the lord, she is oblivious as sagar passes by in the cab, along with madhavi, both saddened to be leaving. the screen freezes on krishna’s face, as she desperately prays to find clues about her father.

As madhavi goes into niru’s room, to keep his clothes, she gets confronted with him. after an emotional turbuelent eyegaze, he expresses as to how concerned he was and how he doesnt want them to go, and she complains that if it was so much so, then he should have atleast found once, sometime to find out about their well being. she eyes the pic of theirs on the floor, as it falls out of his hand, and they get emotionally overwhelmed. she is about to progress towards him, when sagar’s voice calling her to come soon, reaches, and she rushes out, leaving niru, distraught and apalled.

Madhavi eyes niru in the doorway, and thinks that he didnt stop her then, and today also he wishes to just watch and hopes that he doesnt continue his arrogance. he too thinks the same , and hopes that she stays back, as he cant lose her, since he feels lonely, and if she didnt think last time, she should this time around, and begs her to stay back for him and his family. she thinks that this time, he shall have to say soemthing, as he has been silent for the past 7 years.

she thinks that he shall have to speak up. sagar and pulkit talk. they ask him to take care of himself and his mother, and soon they shall come too. he complies. then ammaji starts crying, and sagar has a hard time consoling and telling that soon they shall be together again, and he isnt leaving her. as madhavi turns around, she finds niru waiting for her beside the door, with tear stricken eyes.

unable to resist any longer, they both hug each other. but madhavi’s dream is shattered when sagar asks her to come along, and she realises that she had been daydreaming. she finds zoya beside him, and sits hastily. sagar returns his sim to pulkit to use, and then asking everyone to take care, he leaves with madhavi in the cab. Later, niru is trying to pass time, but feels totally restless and tensed as he gets nostalgic for madhavi.

Kashish returns back with ganga, who is incredibly tensed as to how she betrayed her daughter, and she is rightfully punishing her. she says that she cant bear it any longer, taking the entire blame, and says that she should tell her about sagar, but how she didnt listen anything. she hopes krishna returns back soon. kashish tries to control her. ganga blames herself for being so naive, stupid and stubborn. kashish asks her to stop being tormented and instead file a complain in the police station. ganga complies and hurriedly leaves with her.

After filing the complaint, the inspector asks ganga to go now, as they have done the requisite, and shall find out their daughter soon. ganga requests that krishna is very small and gets emotional, while kashish composes her. the inspector assures her, saying that it shall be their priority. then kashish takes ganga and leaves.

Outside, kashish says that they left one place, where they didnt ask, and thats sagar’s. ganga gets disturbed. kashish says that maybe krishna called sagar, or he knows about her. ganga wonders why she didnt think of it. she decides to call him, but it doesnt get through. they get tensed. she wonders if krishna is with sagar only. she calls up niru who asks whats the matter, and she narrates everything. he gets tensed.

Krishna sits on a bench and counts the money that she has, and then she gets the smell of hot samosas and jalebis being made. she eyes the food hungrily, and remembers her mother, as to how she fulfilled all her wishes. she comments at her own stupidity for not having food before leaving. she goes to the stall, and they ask about her parents. she says that she is in search of her father and the mother is at home. they are boggled, and she orders.

they silently comply. she is happily gorging on food, totally oblivious of sagar’s cab stuck behind him on the road. they they drive off. she thanks the uncle and leaves. the shopkeeper feels happy and doesnt even demand money. Krishna then wanders on the road, and some kidnappers and human trafficking couple, eye her, wondering where is she going. they indiscreetly follow her, as she takes directions to the nearest temple, hearing the sounds of temple bells. they decide to let go of their following, and decide to wait, before she returns back. as she participates in the arti, she again is oblivious of sagar and madhavi right behind her, totally engrossed in her devotion. the screen freezes on her face.
