Inside the room, Mukti is lying unconscious on the bed while Navya is checking on her and Nandini is holding tight to her hand. The tension and anxiety in the air are no less.

"She seems alright, might get conscious in 10-20minutes" Navya said after checking her up while all Nandu could do is to hold her tight and look at her... concerned, worried and longing.

Whereas the scenario outside the room, in the hall, is also full of tension, heated rage and confusion too. Manik is all the time throwing his deadly glares at Nyonika, who in turn is finding it familiarly unfamiliar.

"Is he my Manu?" for once this question flickered her mind but then the hatred and disgust showing in his eyes made her to brush her thoughts away.

DGP and is also sitting beside them and observing the draggers thrown by Manik at the poor lady. "He seems like he'll burst into lava the next moment" DGP thought looking at Manik.

Manik himself knew how he is controlling himself and his beast to lash on the cruel lady sitting in front of his eyesight. His every organ is screaming to just run to her, grip tight her throat and give her the pain and suffering that she gave him.
Not only that, but he's also having a lot of questions in his mind to which... He Needs Answers... Honest and Clear!

Out of all, there is a major '?' that "What is she doing HERE? How is Nandini, Mukti, the Devils associated with HER?"

Manik is no doubt worried for Mukti too... When she lost consciousness, for once he halted his hatred for that lady and managed to help Mukti to the bed carrying her carefully in his arms.

"How is that girl now?" comes the impatient question of Nyonika in her shrill feminine voice, while pointing to the room's door where Mukti is there.
Nyonika has no idea as to who is she but a mother could always feel the connection, right? Even she did!

During her initial conversation with Nandini & DGP, she had revealed how she ended up at that abandoned factory that night along with her 7yrs old daughter, what happened with her, how she managed to send her daughter out of that hell, how she herself got saved by a driver.
Her mention of her 7yrs old daughter made DGP and Nandu to doubt it to be Mukti and they called her here to confirm. But Nyonika knew less.

"Mukti will be fine. My daughter is checking on her." DGP answered while Manik turned his face to the side trying to control himself from shouting at her to stop showing her fake worries.

"She didn't even care for her own blood and here showing her fake concerns for others." Manik muttered to himself.

Listening Mukti from DGP's mouth created havoc in a mother's heart and her head snapped at him "Mukti!?" She asked confused "You mean, Mukti Malhotra?" she added narrowing her brows.

That's it. Manik's bridge of control BROKE!

"Don't bloody take her name from your filthy mouth" Manik growled dangerously spitting fire from his eyes at Nyonika who flinched shockingly at his sudden burst.

There rose a heated tension around them... with silence speaking for a minute. Nyonika broke the silence cowering to do so due to Manik's glare

"W-What a-are yo-" only to get cut with a loud shout

"Shut Up... Just S.H.U.T U.P" Manik shouted standing up the floor with his nose flaring and eyes turning red in anger. Following him, scared Nyonika and confused DGP too stood up from their seats.

 "What you think, han? You'll show your fake concern and I won't get that." He added sarcastically "You can fool everyone... But not me... Not me, Mrs. Nyonika Malhotra!"

DGP's mind clicked as to how did Manik know her name? While Nyonika is confused and frightened seeing the angry eyes and flinching tone of Manik.

"You're... leave that!" Manik refrain himself from starting with all his accusation for years and thought to ask the most significant question first "Where is she? Tell me.... Where have you kept her?" He demanded making Nyonika furrow her eyebrows in more confusion and Manik ran his fingers on his hair in frustration.

"Listen... Don't test my patience... and just tell me where is Mu-" Manik got cut by a loud voice

"Mummy" all head snapped to a pale looking Mukti standing near the door but the smile on her face says it all.

All the fear and confusion changed to jolly one instantly as Nyonika's heart recognized "My Mukti!" tears rolled on when Mukti crashed on her chest hiding herself in her arms and she just goes on kissing her daughter's forehead as if compensating for the lost years.

Among the other 4 silent viewers, Manik was the most messed up one watching the scene playing ahead of him. The only thought passing his head is Mukti & Nyonika means...

"Cutie?" he voiced uncertainly staring at the crying and hugging Mukti. Hearing it both Nyonika and Mukti broke their long-time hug and jerked their head to Manik.

"Superhero!" Mukti chirped and within a second ran to hug Manik making him stumble in shock and surprise.

Now, everyone; DGP, Nandini, Navya, Nyonika, Mukti, and Manik, all are clear of the fact that Nyonika is Mukti's mother and Manik is her brother because devils knew about someone called Superhero in Mukti's life.

On the other hand, Manik: "Mukti is my Mukti, my Cutie" this is hard to believe for him. He's living with her for almost more than 2 months by now and he never knew that the one he's searching for years is actually being beside him.

Recovering from the shock, Manik just wrapped his strong arms around Mukti's petite figure tightly in a hug as if telling 'I'll never let you away for a single moment from now'.

Manik's posture changed to a protective longing brother having his sister after a long time and his expressions shifted to a soft one with just the fact that His Cutie is alright, fit n fine in front of his eyes... What more he could ask for?

DGP, Nandini, Navya, all are happy that their Mukti finally meets her family, her Mom, and her superhero whom she used to mention in her nightmares, whom they tried searching for years, whom she had forgotten after that traumatic night.

But somewhere in some corner of Nandini's heart, she had this fear; fear of not being that important person anymore that she used to be all these year-long, fear of not getting that love and attention from her Muku which she is used to, fear of losing the one whom she loves as a sister and ready to keep her own life at stake for...
She fears!

While here, Nyonika is getting overwhelmed having to found both her son and daughter without any efforts from her side. With happy tears moistening her eyes, she walked forward to the brother-sister duo

"My children" She muttered with love dripping tone catching the attention of the duo who loosen their hug giving her attention...

Mukti has a small smile playing on her lips having the reunion with her mother and her Superhero while Manik's eyes once again got hard seeing this selfish woman closer to his sister, to once again take her away from him, to get her away...

He immediately grabbed Mukti's wrist restraining her from getting close to that woman, to approach that woman, to go to that selfish woman... He pulled her away from her covering her behind himself and standing in between the mother-daughter as if clearly saying 'Don't you dare come near my sister, Mrs. Nyonika'

His action confused and muddled Mukti and also hurt Nyonika, but she took it as 'He must be angry on me for not finding them for 17 years and leaving them alone to deal with this cruel world'.

She prepared herself to face his son's anger and manofy him with her motherly love. So she advanced her hand up to caress his face and spoke  "Manu"

"Don't!" Manik cut her rudely showing her palm to stop.

"Don't start with your fake dramas to get back into my and my sister's life." He declared strongly bewildering both Nyonika and Mukti.

"What are you saying, Manu?" she muttered the courage this time to stand off against those deadly fire-splitting eyes of him as he's her son, after all.

"Haann" He let out a brief sarcastic deep throat chuckle at her perfection of acting "Still pretending all motherly... why? Did your rich boyfriend dump you? Or his money's now finished and you thought why not get back to my so-called son, who had managed to earn quite a billion now-a-days, right?"

"Manik?" Nyonika voice broke as these words from the mouth of her own son hit her hard and tears rolled down her eyes. Manik rolled up his eyes watching her crying drama.

"Manik! How can you speak like that with Mom?" Instantly Mukti came forward to her mother's favour and side-hugged her consolingly.

Manik's eyes instantly showed hurt as his sister addresses him with his name rather than calling Superhero or Bhai and on the top, she's fighting for the one who destroyed their lives, separating them for her selfish purpose.

"Mukti, You're supporting her?" He questioned staggered "She's the one, Mukti! She is the one" He pointed his finger at Nyonika trying to keep his point so that Mukti could understand him and leave that selfish woman.

"She's the one to take you away from me, to separate us for so long time... She's the one to leave me alone to die and leave to live a luxurious life, she's the one Mukti, she's the selfish one behind our miseries!" He shouted stating his words loud n clear.

"NO!" Came Mukti's yell shutting him. There was a silence around with the heated tension, rasping breaths, and a lot of confusion and questions in everyone's mind.

"Dad's the one!"
