Anuj and Anupama are praying in the temple for Aadhya and the college canteen order. They tie a thread to the tree and pray to God to help them meet Aadhya. Anupama prays that she met Anuj here and asks God to make Aadhya meet them here. Aadhya comes and rings the temple bell. Anuj and Anupama sense her presence. Anuj says, “Aadhya.” They turn and see her going.
Just then, someone calls her Priya, and Aadhya turns. They see her face and get shocked. The lady takes Aadhya to the car while Anuj and Anupama shout, calling her. Anupama tells Anuj that he was right that she is Aadhya. Anuj says he thought she was his imagination, but she is really here. Anupama says she couldn’t see the car number.
In the car, the lady asks Aadhya to rest her head on her lap. Aadhya rests her head on her lap and thinks of Anupama and Anuj, crying. Vanraj asks Hardik if he is happy now. Hardik says it is complete now. He says that because of Vanraj, he got ten times more profit, and he thought the poor people would grab everything. He asks Vanraj to get Asha Bhavan vacated. Vanraj thinks he wants to break someone’s ego too.
Kinjal asks Meenu what happened if Sagar told her something. Just then, Pakhi comes and asks, “What the hell?” She says she was there, and they came here. She tells them they parked the car in the wrong parking and left her. Vanraj comes and asks what happened. Pakhi tells Vanraj that they left her in the car and went somewhere. Meenu says a lady had fainted, and that’s why they took her to the hospital, telling him that their phone batteries were drained, so they didn’t call.
She says she can’t help it if Pakhi doubts them and goes. Toshu scolds Pakhi for not keeping an eye on them and says he is sure they went to Asha Bhavan. Vanraj smirks. Anuj tells Anupama that he is sure Aadhya will be found and that he felt good in the temple. They come home and see Babu ji. They take his blessings. Bala asks Babu ji to have tea. Babu ji says he is upset since he came. Bala says he left them and went.
Babu ji asks him to agree and gives Indra’s swear. Bala forgives him and agrees. Nandita asks how he agreed. Babu ji says he has the keys. He asks if Indra called. Anupama says no. Bala hopes she is fine. Anuj tells them that Aadhya is going to come soon. Anupama agrees and asks Nandita about Asha. Nandita says she is in the room. Anupama tells Anuj to go and meet Asha. Anuj goes. Anupama tells Babu ji that Aadhya is going to come.
The lady trims Aadhya’s hair and tells her that she has brought a printed jacket for her and asks her to wear it. She makes her wear it. Aadhya says she wants to go out. The lady says they just came back. Aadhya replies that this room is good, but she feels caged here and that she doesn’t get to go to school. She says she has just one friend who comes and meets her here sometimes.
She insists that she wants to go out and have coffee at a coffee shop. The lady throws a glass on the floor and tells her that her aim is not bad. She asks Aadhya not to trigger her anger, saying she is trying to keep calm. She explains that the world is very bad, and her Mamma is protecting her little doll. That’s why she doesn’t want to let Aadhya go and wants to keep her safe. She insists that Aadhya will be safe in this house. Aadhya cries, missing Anupama.
Anupama tells them that they saw Aadhya in the temple. Sagar asks if Aadhya is in the city, then why is she hiding. Nandita says at least she should meet Anuj. Anupama says she has many questions in mind, like how did Aadhya reach here from America, who was the lady with her, and where is she right now. Aadhya asks the lady to leave her. The Principal of the college comes and asks his wife, Megha, to leave the girl.
He asks Aadhya to go and get fresh air in the hall or on the terrace. Megha refuses. Aadhya goes. Megha hugs her husband and cries. He tells her that she has caged Aadhya. Megha says she lost Priya once but can’t lose her again. Her husband says she can’t cage her forever if Aadhya runs away out of fear. Megha insists that if Aadhya runs away, she will kill herself, and he can’t save her. He says nothing will happen. She cries, calling Priya.
Anupama says new questions always arise and that she will search for answers too. She says she is relieved that her daughter is in this city and that the search has become narrower. She vows to search for Aadhya and bring her to her pops. Baa waits to see Babu ji. Babu ji comes out of the ashram and signals that he has brought a gift for her. He takes out a small box from his pocket and gives it to her.
He says it looks as if they are boyfriend and girlfriend. Baa says they are doing this in old age. She asks him to come home, but he refuses and asks her to come to him. Baa says she can’t leave her son and family. Babu ji says he can’t leave his daughter. Baa asks him to give the gift to Anupama. He insists that he brought it for her with so much love. Baa takes it. Babu ji says he loves her a lot. Baa goes.
Aadhya is in the hall and looks at the tiffin. She opens it and tastes the food. She says this taste…and says, “Mummy.” Anupama prays to God to give her hope, strength, and take care of her. Aadhya says this is not possible. She keeps the tiffin back and thinks her mind is making stories. She wonders how Mummy knows where she is and in what condition, thinking nobody will come to save her.
