The conversation between Anuj and Anupama continues from the point where the last episode ends.
Anuj: It is enough Anupama, don’t think much about this, and don’t bother yourself.
Anupama: Why do they do this?
Anuj: I have no idea, maybe the gun culture of this place is responsible for it. Here there is no need for a license to buy arms and ammunition. You can go to any shop and buy a gun. It is a very big problem for societies here.
Anupama: How can they carry guns at such a young age?
Anuj: Maybe, we parents are responsible for this, we did not teach them about this. Here children play different types of violent video games for hours. Eventually, they forget that the world of video games is not real, they cross the boundary between the virtual world and the real world. We parents did not spare enough time with our kids to tell them the difference. Maybe for such a reason, our Shruti got shot today.
Anupama: We parents put too much pressure on our kids for their studies and careers, but we do not teach them how to handle this pressure. They break and to fulfil the absence of their parents they get lost in the world of video games. They forget that in the real world, there is no restart, once life is lost it can’t brought back. Once the trigger is pulled someone may lose his life. They have no understanding in society and no one understands that when a bullet is fired it takes someone’s life. You have ruined your life.
Anuj says, that wrong parenting, childhood trauma, upbringing, wrong friendship, wrong guidance have sent them on the wrong path.
Saying this, Anuja’s eyes filled with tears, Anupama also started expressing her concern, because Aadhya was also a victim of the same childhood trauma. To overcome the trauma, such survivors take the help of drugs and fall prey to evil habits.
Anuj says that we will have to take care of Pari and Aadhya and carefully bring them out of this trauma. In particular, we have to take care of Aadhya, I have not seen her in this condition before. She along with her trauma is also trying to ensure that Shruti does not lose her life. I don’t understand what to do, or how will I explain it to him.
While Anuj and Anupama were sharing their emotions at that time the doctor came out from OT. Both of them came running and started asking the doctor about Shruti’s condition. The Doctor said, “Well, we have tried our best, I don’t want to give you false hopes, due to internal complications, over-bleeding, and damage of organs the chances of survival are very low”.
After hearing all this from the doctor, both of them were stunned. At the same time, Aadhya got awake and heard everything that the doctor said. Aadhya goes in a flashback and visualizes the incident of the school, and how Shruti got shot.
When Aadhya looked at Anupama, she got angry and shouted, “What do you want, why can’t you tolerate our happiness, why can’t you see us happy? When I could not do anything without you, you turned away from me. When I learned to live and be happy with Shruti you came back again. Papa was moving on, he was going to marry Shruti, my family was going to be complete, you ruined everything. First, you ruined all the wedding functions and now you have brought her to the brink of death. If anything happens to Shruti I may do anything, I may even kill myself, and you will be responsible for my death.
Yashdeep also reached the hospital at the same time and heard all this talking to Aadhya, who thought that it would not be right to go there now and left the place.
Aadhya then placed her head on the door of OT and started crying remembering Shruti. Shruti you come, I cannot live without you.

Seeing this condition and reaction of Aadhya, Anupama started walking away from her and walked away. Anuj kept looking sometimes at Aadhya and sometimes at Anupama.

When Yashdeep started telling all this to Beeji, Beeji asked why he didn’t meet them in the hospital, to which Yashdeep said that he was talking to some people, I didn’t think it was right to say anything. I am here at the hospital, in case I need anything.
Paritosh asks Kinjal, why Mummy needs to go there, it has been so late in the night, and if she had gone then she would have come back. Kinjal says, “I told her to go there.” Paritosh says everyone is there, Pari, and you are also in trauma, you also need Mummy. Kinjal said Pari was very smart and herself told Anupama to come to the hospital. Still, Paritosh did not calm down and started getting angry, even today Anupama’s priority is Anuj and Aadhya.
Kinjal says, “Try to understand, Shruti has been shot, Choti is in trauma, and in such a situation, how can the mother show formality and come back.”
Paritosh says how can I remain calm, the shooter had made my daughter a hostage, and the bullet may have hit her too. Anuj is marrying someone else, now Maa should draw a line. Aadhya doesn’t even speak directly to her, then why is mummy so concerned about her? Kinjal said, you just stop, I don’t have the energy to fight with you, today if Pari is alive then it is because of Mother, and you are still blaming her.
Then both of them became emotional.
Anuj told Anupama that Shruti had been transferred to ICU, her condition is still critical, not much can be said. When Anupama asked about Aadhya, Anuj said that we are now in America, where there are counselors to bring the children out of trauma, here too there are counselors and Choti is theirs.
Anupama says that if someone takes away even his toy from a child, then the child becomes restless, and here is the place where his mother is being taken away from her. People can see his bad manners but no one can see his pain.
When Anupama kept saying all this then Anuj said that everyone has different pain but what about your pain? Then Anupama said that she is used to it and now there is no difference. Anupama says that Shruti is a very good woman and a very good mother too. Anupama says let divert the topic focus somewhere. Then they remember the old good times when as a family together they were happy. Reminiscing about old times, both of them again became emotional and started crying again.
At that time the nurse came and said to meet the doctor urgently. Shruti is in ICU, and Anuj and Anu went there. The doctor said, “We tried to save her but I am sad to say that in the future Shruti will never be able to conceive, which means she will never be able to give birth”.
Anuj tells Anupama how Shruti did not want any child to become a proper mother to Aadhya. Still, every woman’s dream is to become a mother, I didn’t know how I would tell this to Shruti and how she would react. Anupama says that now is not the time to think about all this, our priority is Shruti’s life.
Anuj says Shruti has been shifted to the ICU, Aadhya’s counseling session must have also ended, and we can’t stay here any longer.
Meanwhile, Baa, Babuji, and everyone have reached their home in India. Vanraj says that after reaching here he started remembering Toshu, Kinjal, and Pari. Then Banraj calls Kinjal, and when Paritosh and Kinjal narrate about the school shootout incident, everyone including Vanraj is shocked.
The counselor tells Anuj that Aadhya is not reacting. Others scream, shout, and cry, but do not remain silent, such patients are very unpredictable and can do many things, can even harm themselves or commit suicide. Anuj will have to take great care of her.
The episode ends here.
