Pulkit is sitting in his cabin going through some files, when Sai barges in livid with anger.

"Aapki baat sahi lag rahi hai Jeeju ab mujhe.... aaj to hadd hi ho gai"

Pulkit immediately gets up, offers her water and asks her to sit down and explain the situation to him.

Sai is severely distressed, her hands are fisting her saree tightly and her legs are shaking. She gulps down the water offered to her and fighting back the sobs, speaks to Pulkit.

"Jeeju... aaj to saari hadd paar kar di Pakhi didi ne... chhhiii... mujhe unko Didi bolne main bhi sharam aa rahi hai", Sai speaks, her voice full of disgust.

"Aisa kya kar diya ab... phirse koi letter aaya kya?" Pulkit wonders, worrying for Sai.

Sai extremely nervous and upset, has tears streaming down her face...

"Jeeju.... aaj.... aaj unhone..... She...."

And Sai starts crying unable to complete the sentence.

"Kya hua Sai.... baat puri karo... I am getting worried... "

"Jeeju... She.... she.... she said she is pregnant.... and vo bacchha ..... vo bacchhha Virat ka hai"

Sai completely breaks down by the end of it and Pulkit can only console her with some gentle caresses on her head, him equally shocked.

When she composes a while later, Pulkit asks a question he has been dreading to vocalize,

"Aur tumhe kya lagta hai Sai?"

"Matlab???"

Haltingly, yet anxious for Sai, Pulkit asks again,

"Matlab kya Pakhi sach bol rahi hai???"

Shocked, Sai immediately gets up from the chair and pacing the room, angrily retorts...

"Nahi Jeeju... bilkul bhi nahi... aap aisa soch bhi kaise sakte hai Virat ke baare main... vo aisa kuch bhi nahi karenge... I trust him... Pakhi didi jhooth bol rahi hai.... Virat will never betray me like this... I know that now with utmost confidence"

Seeing her conviction and faith in Virat, Pulkit relaxes a bit and asks her to sit down again.

As they are going on about their discussion, both fail to notice a figure lurking in the doorway.

The sound of tapping shoes makes them turn around and the faces turn white as if they have seen a ghost.

"Aap???? Yahan????"

"I need to talk to you Sai... please meri baat suno"... Virat huffs and quickly enters the room and takes her hands in his.

"Aap aise mere piche yahan kyun aaye hai?" Sai looks at him surprised.

"To kya karta... vo Pakhi... vahan bakwas kare ja rahi thi aur tum turant nikal gai before I can put forth my version... Sai please meri baat suno... aisa kuch nahi hai!!" Virat pleads with a sickening feeling in his stomach when relieving the moments again and looking into Sai's eyes.

Sai immediately understands his concern and passes a knowing glance at Pulkit.

Making him sit on the nearby chair, Sai plops on the chair in front of him and holds his hands.

Virat is too heartbroken and drowning in guilt to even recognize her actions.

Sai tenderly caresses her thumb over his hands and that makes him look up.

Gently smiling at him, Sai replies, "Aapko aisa kyun lag raha hai maine unki baat maan li??? I know you Virat... aap aisa kuch nahi kar sakte... I trust you"

The words give Virat an immense relief and he lets out his breath he didn't even realize he had been holding in. Tightly clutching both her hands in his, he brings them to his lips and tenderly kisses them, conveying his unsaid emotions through his touch.

Moments pass, when Sai speaks again,

"Virat... ek baat bolu... maine ye Jeeju se bhi discuss kiya hai... I think she is faking it"

Virat then looks at both Sai and Pulkit and feeling disgusted, he gets up from the chair and paces the room, mentally going over all that has happened since his Jeeva's death.

Finally composing himself, he takes up the seat next to his lovely wife drawing comfort from her faith and trust in him and ponders over how to deal this, when a knock on the half open door makes all three of them turn around.

An old man, but with a strangely ramrod posture walks in.

Pulkit asks, "Aapka appointment hai kya mere saath? Agar hai to please wait kijiye. Main abhi aata hun"

The man doesn't move though, fixing his gaze on Virat and Pulkit asks again, hoping to dismiss him soon.

It is only when both Sai and Virat look at him intently, that Virat gets up and goes closer to him.

"Aap?"

Virat extends his hand wishing to remove the gamcha covering the man's face. Before Virat can do it though, the man himself does that and removes his spectacles and passes a smile to Virat.

A momentary glance and Virat looks at him in shock unable to believe his eyes.

He turns around to see if Sai has noticed this and registers her blank expression.

It is when the man speaks, that all doubts are thrown out of the window.

"Shivaaa"

"Jeevaa..."

"Dadaaaa...."

"Aap yahan???? Aap zinda hai???"

Sai almost squeals with happiness and runs to hug him stopping at the last moment and looks at Virat.

Samrat understands the hesitation and takes a step back but not withdrawing his gaze from Virat, answers,

"Maine marne ka natak kiya tha.. ye main hi hun... Tera Jeeva aur tumhara Dada Sai... main Patralekha ki sachhhai janne ki koshish kar raha tha aur isliye jab tumhara kidnap hua to mujhe acchha mauka haath lag gaya... isliye you didn't find my body"

Virat is still processing all the information in his police brain but his mind is too overcome with emotions to see his dear brother alive.

"I am sorry to put you all through this... par mujhe ye karna pada aur ab lag raha hai... sahi hi kar raha tha main"

Sai is unable to understand this when Samrat explains how he has been following her and Pulkit in the hospital in disguise.

It is after listening to their conversation in the cafeteria that he sent the first letter and subsequent ones later to rile up Patralekha.

"Main Patralekha ke iraade pata karna chahta tha... Isliye maine vo letter bheja"

Virat by now has recovered from the initial shock is still wondering if he is an imposter, but then sensing this, Samrat mentions to him few incidents from their childhood known only to them.

Virat, now assured, remembers why he followed Sai and their conversation. He takes Samrat's hands in his and quite apologetically professes that the latest claim of Patralekha being impregnated by him is false.

Samrat receives the information quietly and gently pressing his hands, reassures Virat.

"I know mere Bhai.. tu aisa kuch nahi karega... Na mere saath aur na hi Sai ke saath. I trust you".

The other two finally smile peacefully, happy that Samrat is alive and well and discuss among them how to demask Patralekha.

As they are discussing few past incidents and Samrat's doubts, Sai looks at Pulkit that Virat notices.

"Aapko kuch batana hai Virat!!!!"
