Sunrays fall into Maheshwari House. We see Ragini laying on the floor at the door outside their room. Her face has tear stains. On the other side of the door we see Laksh sleeping on the floor similarly with tear stains on his face.

His phone rings making him wake up with jerk. He takes the call with heavy eyes but his eyes opens wide when he heard the other side. He gets up from the floor immediately and opens the door. The sound of door opening makes Ragini to wake up.

“Chalo!” he says and gives his hand to her.

She immediately holds his hand and they both move out of the house in hurry.

“What happened?” Ragini asks confused.

“Anvi is hospitalised!” he says blankly.

Ragini’s eyes flow with tears. They reach hospital and run towards the ward where Anvi is admitted after enquiring in the reception. As they enter the ward their eyes flow more with tears to see her unconscious with drips to her hand. They both rush to her and sit on either side of her.

“Dadda, mumma!” she keeps murmuring in unconscious state.

This makes Laksh’s emotions burst. He cries holding her hand in his hands. Ragini is no less. Jeevika comes there and looks at their condition. Her eyes turned teary too. She composed herself and moved towards Laksh.

“Lucky she is fine. Don’t worry!” Jeevika consoles him putting his hand on her shoulder.

He looks at her with red angry eyes.

“Where is that judge who had given the judgement? Will she cure my daughter? See her condition. The girl who always keeps giggling and smiling is now in this state just because of that judge. All because of her.” He bursts out into tears again looking at Anvi.

Ragini is caressing Anvi’s hair while tears flowing from her eyes.

“Lawyer will be here in few minutes.” Jeevika says.

“To see my daughter in this condition?” Laksh asks.

Jeevika goes away from there helpless. RagLak keep looking at Anvi who is still murmuring 'Dadda, mumma' in her unconscious state with teary eyes.

After sometime the Lawyer comes there along with Jeevika. Behind them two more people entered. One is the woman who took away Anvi the previous day. While the other is that woman’s lawyer. That woman immediately rushes towards Anvi and tried to hold her but Ragini pulls her away.

“Stay away!” She says looking at her dangerously.

“See lawyer madam how this woman is stopping me from meeting my daughter. Even after the judge gave me the whole rights on my daughter.” The woman, named Nitya Arora speaks with tears in her eyes.

Lawyer looks at her and then at Ragini who is fuming and looking at Nitya with disgust. Laksh keeps glaring Nitya.

“Mr. Laksh and Miss. Nitya you both are needed to come to court. There judge will tell what to do.” Lawyer says.

“Why madam? The judgement has been given already yesterday right?” Nitya says with a bit of panic in her voice.

“That also you will get to know in the court Miss. Nitya!” Saying she goes from there speaking to Jeevika and Nitya's lawyer, Mr. Sharma.

Nitya glares Laksh and Ragini and goes from there. Ragini looks at Laksh painfully. He assures her with eyes and was about to move.

“Laksh!” Ragini calls him stopping him.

He turns and looks at her.

“I want to come too.” She says.

“You need to stay with Anvi.” He says looking at Anvi and her simultaneously.

“I will stay!” they hear Janaki’s voice who just came there worried.

“Ma!” saying Ragini immediately hugs her sobbing in her embrace.

Laksh looks down controlling his tears.

“Shhh… Baby calm down. I feel now everything will be fine. Just be strong.” Janaki consoles her but her eyes are on Laksh.

Laksh looks at her hopefully. She nods her head assuring him through eyes. He nods pressing his lips trying not to burst out. Janaki breaks the hug and wipes Ragini’s eyes. She signs both of them to go and they both nod before leaving. Laksh drives away to court.

Laksh, Ragini, Nitya are standing out of a room while Jeevika and Mr. Sharma are inside talking to judge. Laksh and Ragini are just glaring Nitya while she is glaring them back.

“Lucky, Ragu.” Jeevika calls them.

They move inside and are standing in front of judge.

“Did you get proof Judge madam?” Laksh asks looking at her accusingly.

Judge puts a neutral face. She then looks at Nitya who is trying her best to gulp her panic.

“Call the person!” Judge says looking at the lawyer who came to see Anvi other than Jeevika and Mr. Sharma.

Soon a woman enters and Nitya and Mr. Sharma gulp.

“They locked that little girl in the dark room and didn’t even let me feed her. She was continuously banging the door and crying. I tried to help her without these both knowledge but this man slapped me and pushed me out of the house.” The woman says with teary eyes.

Judge looks at them. They both gulp

“I also heard earlier they want her custody because the property is in her name. And Nitya madam was planning to make her slave and use her whole property for producing new show as she is in the stage of bankruptcy.” Says the woman.

Judge realises what actually happened. She sighs.

“I am sorry for what all happened after my judgement yesterday Mr. Maheshwari. But you know the law is all about proofs…” she was about to speak while Laksh speaks.

“Yes even if they are fake it doesn’t matter.” He says sarcastically.

She sighs.

“This is the first ever time I was wrong in my judgement…” She was again about to continue but again Laksh speaks.

“And the reason for the bad condition of my daughter.” Laksh speaks sarcastically again.

“Mr. Laksh let me speak.” She says strictly.

He huffs and looks away. Jeevika asks him to keep quiet. He huffs.

“So now I am taking back my decision with my apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Maheshwari. The custody of Miss. Anvi Maheshwari is now given to Mr. And Mrs. Maheshwari. While Miss. Nitya and her lawyer are punished for faking all the proofs and wanted to get the property that is in the name of Miss. Anvi.” Declares Judge.

“But she is my daughter!” Nitya speaks angrily.

“If you would have thought her to be your daughter you wouldn’t have plotted to get her property or you wouldn’t have locked her in the dark room for whole day.” Judge glared.

Nitya and Mr. Sharma gulp. Laksh smiled happily hearing the judgement. He looks at Ragini who is smiling brightly with teary eyes. She nods seeing him. He nods back. Once the judge has given her judgement regarding the punishment to Mr. Sharma and Nitya RagLak move out along with Jeevika. As soon as they come outside they both immediately hug Jeevika tightly.

“Thank You Diii/Bhabhi.” Both of them shout happily hugging Jeevika.

She chuckles and breaks the hug. She cups both their happy faces.

“She was, is and will be your daughter. Nobody can snatch her from you now.” Jeevika says smiling happily at them.

RagLak smile with teary eyes.

“I want to see my Princess. Let’s go bacha!” He says happily looking at Ragini.

Ragini’s eyes got moist again hearing him. He just called her bacha! That it self gave her hope of getting his love once again. She looked at Jeevika who smiled assuring her. She wiped her tears and followed him.

He was about to start the car when Laksh's phone rang.

“Haan Kaki!” He says as he takes the call of Santha kaki.

“Laksh beta, Chocolate, He isn’t well. He is not moving from Anvi’s room and has not eaten anything since last night.” She says worried.

Laksh sighs. He caresses his temple with his thumb and forefinger.

“Kaki he will be fine. Just try to make him eat something. Will come in some time if possible.” He says with worry.

Kaki says okay and cuts the call.

“What happened?” Ragini asks worried.

“Chocolate! He isn’t moving out of Anvi’s room and has not eaten anything since last night.” He says sighing.

“Its okay he will get fine once he sees Anvi back home.” Ragini says hopefully.

They reach hospital and run inside. As soon as they go Ragini hugs Janaki.

“I said right. Everything will be fine.” Janaki pats her head and looks at Laksh.

Laksh smiles lightly and nods yes. Janaki smiles. RagLak look at Anvi who is still unconscious.

Laksh moves and sits beside her. His eyes turn teary again. Ragini’s eyes get moist again. Janaki caresses her hair.

“She will be okay. Don’t worry baby.” Janaki consoles her.

Ragini nods looking at Anvi.

“You will take care right?” Janaki asks.

“I will!” Ragini assures her.

Janaki leaves feeding both Ragini and Laksh though they don’t want to. Laksh is still looking at Anvi holding her hand and caressing her hair with other hand. Ragini is sitting putting her palms under her chin and staring Anvi waiting for her to wake up.

Laksh keeps staring Anvi and goes to the most painful day of his life in his thoughts.

@flashback

Laksh was working in his cabin when he got a courier. He took the courier from the person. He opened it and got the biggest shock seeing the letter. He immediately rushed towards his car taking the courier and reached Jeevika’s house, who is his cousin.

“Dii!” He calls her worried.

“Lucky!” She calls him surprised.

“Di!” calling her again worried he forwards the courier to her.

She reads the letter and her eyes widen in shock.

“Di please do something. Please.” He pleads her with teary eyes.

She makes him sit trying to calm him but he is panicking.

“Lucky calm down. You need to be strong. Please.” She consoles him.

“She is my life di. I can give my life for her but I can’t let her go especially to that psycho. You know right what all happened and bhai… he has gone forever because of her. She will kill her too. Please di please save my Anvi. Please.” He pleads her panicking.

Jeevika tries to calm him down but he doesn’t calm. She slaps him making him shocked. She hugs him and he cries in her embrace.

“I can’t live without her di. And she will not be safe with her. Please save her.” He pleads her breaking the hug.

“Shh… I will. Stop crying. You need to be strong. You can’t break in front of Anvi. She will not understand these all. She will get scared if you try to make her understand also. Be strong.” She consoles him.

He nods with teary eyes.

“For now go home and take rest. We will talk tomorrow everything. Okay?” She pats his cheeks.

He nods and goes from there. He reach home absent minded and it’s the same day Anvi cried a lot asking for her mumma. Laksh got even more worried hearing her asking for her mumma. He tried his best to be strong in front of her. Once he consoled her he rushed to his room sat on the floor and cried a lot promising himself to keep Anvi safe and away from her biological mother, who was his brother's wife, who was the cause of his brother’s death.
