Archana comes in to call her for lunch, Purvi quickly wipes her tears but Archu notices shes crying. But she just says food is ready, come and have it.
Purvi calls her, Ayi, Soham Dada is not in a state right now to understand what is right and what is wrong! He has lost all his senses in his love for Gauri! But I know once Dada realizes what hes doing is wrong, he will...
Archu interrupts, Your father has already performed last rites for Soham, your Aaji hates him! They dont want to see his face! And for me, HES DEAD!
Purvi is shocked! Archu coldly continues, Soham has no place in our lives anymore, you dont have to defend him!
Purvi cries, No Ayi, Im just saying, Dada is wrong of course, but...
Archu stops her, Purvi, I said dont defend him! Hes dead for all of us! And how can u defend him? Didnt u see Sachin's condition? Gauri's condition? Listen to me carefully, nobody will ever mention Soham's name in this house again! Never!
Purvi looks dismayed and cries.

Balan comes running and stops Soham, Why are u beating up our own guy?
Balan sits down and asks Soham what exactly he wants! He says, Look here Son, right now the situation outside is dangerous for you! Police is waiting to capture you, if you even show a hair, they will pounce on it! How long will I hide you in these circumstances? Beta, alongwith u, police will catch us also! Okay, we will tolerate police beating for the sake of ur love, but just think what they will do to you? I wont be able to tolerate that! Thats why Im telling you...please go away from this city!
Soham responds angrily, Baba, why are u repeating the same thing over and over again? I have told u I wont leave this town till I get what I want!
Balan yells, Forget that! In the process of getting that girl, u will lose ur life and I will lose my business!
A henchman comes in to inform Balan that police was nearby and was showing Lala's photos everywhere and asking around. If they get any clues, they will arrive there soon!
Balan gets nervous, fretting that he was afraid of exactly this happening!
He urges Soham to hide underground quickly, the henchman takes Soham to hiding place, Balan closes the door.
Police come in and the Inspector starts questioning him, Why Balan, where are u running off to?
Inspector asks his constables to look in every corner for Soham. If hes hiding there, he should not escape!
Inspector asks Balan sternly, where is Bisnu Lala? Balan says how would he know where is Bisnu lala? He had gone to the Thana to clear his own name. And police had already searched his den the other day and didnt find anyone there! Why would he hide Bisnu Lala? He didnt want to go back to Jail!
Inspector asks his men if they found Bisnu, they say he wasnt there, Inspector warns Balan that if Bisnu Lala is found there, then Balan will be punished severely. He will be sent on a long trip to jail.
Balan pretends innocence saying why would he hide Bisnu? Actually Bisnu broke all relations with him months ago! He hadnt seen Bisnu's face for months!
Inspector warns, You better pray that Bisnu doesnt show u his face! Because if he does, then I will...
Police leave, Balan looks worried.

Next scene: Soham is sitting at a tea stall, sipping tea, his face covered by a scarf.
Police arrive there, showing everyone Soham's photo and asking if they have seen him.
Soham gets cautious and gets up to leave but the tea stall owner calls after him, O Bhaisaab, who is going to pay for the tea? Is this for free?
Police turn to look but Soham's back is turned... he quickly goes to tea stall guy and pays him, then hurriedly leaves from there.
Police comes to tea stall owner and show him photo asking if he has seen this guy?
Soham is waiting at a bus stop, police jeep approaches, sirens blaring, Soham hides behind an advertisement board, then runs up the stairs to a train overpass. He runs across overpass, then down the stairs, then hes running on the streets, police siren behind him! Soham runs into a neighbourhood, policeman gets down from the jeep but cant see him!
Varsha opens the door of Sulochana's house and wonders if anybody had come. Soham is hiding inside, behind the door. Varsha thinks she imagined somebody coming in and turns to leave but Soham grabs her hand from behind!
Varsha turns, shocked! She exclaims, Soham!!
Sulo asks from the kitchen who had come. Soham begs Varsha to hide him somewhere.
He pleads with Varsha, Mayi, police is after me, chasing me like crazy, Mayi I dont want to go to jail again! Mayi, ur the only one in this world who can understand my love, Ayi, Baba nobody is understanding my feelings! Im incomplete without you, Mayi! Please give me shelter here! I know you will help me, you are my real mother! Once this problem is gone, then you and I will go to Patna, I will repay all debts of your affection! In childhood u used to hide me in ur pallu, today also please hide me!
Varsha is crying and holding Soham's face affectionately. Sulo comes in calling her and sees Soham. Her face hardens, she tells Soham, Dont take another step! There is no place for a gunda like you in this house!
Sulo grabs Varsha's arm and tells her to tell Soham to leave quietly! This was a respectable home, not a criminal's den!
Soham pleads with Varsha, I had come here with great expectations from you, please give me shelter, you wont disappoint me, naa?
Varsha looks undecided for a moment, then she flings off Soham's hand, tells him, Dont even utter my name with ur dirty mouth! I am not ur Mayi, youre not my Son! You are a Goon! A person who doesnt respect women, who has no respect for his parents, he can never be my Son! Soham, 20 yrs ago, I made a huge mistake! I dont want to make any more mistakes! I have a chance today to rectify my mistakes and I wont lose this chance! I will take u to the police right now!
Varsha grabs Soham's hand and goes to the door yelling, Police! Police!
But Soham throws off her hand and runs the other way to the back door. Two guys on bikes, probably plainclothes policemen, chase him through Sulo's house, but he escapes through another door, Varsha crying out after him to stop! But he runs, with the 2 guys chasing him!
Varsha is crying inconsolably, Sulo tries to comfort her, telling her she didnt do anything wrong, that if children go on the wrong path, parents try to punish them and show them the right way. That is a parent's duty. Today u have done the duty of a mother, today u have helped Archu at the right moment!
Varsha says, No Ayi, Im not crying because of what happened just now! Im crying remembering the 20 yrs we spent in Patna. Ayi, I made a huge mistake! I was never a good mother to Soham! I could never give him good values! If he was brought up here, then he would never go on a wrong path like this! I am responsible for making him Bisnu Lala from Soham! A mother ensures a good future for her son, I couldnt give a good future to Soham! I am guilty towards Archu Tayi, Jeeju, to the whole family for this!
Sulo consoles her saying, Varshu, calm down! You have repented for all ur sins! We all know that! You tried to reform Soham, gave him chance to mend his ways, you gave him his family back, but hes going on the wrong path again and again! That is his fault! You have done all u could for him. But Soham, hes blinded by his love! Hes making one mistake after the other! He will have to pay for his mistakes!
Varsha cries, Sulo continues, Today Soham escaped but one day, police will capture him and put him in jail! I know Varshu, for a mother this is very hard but what can u do? Soham has chosen this dark future for himself! You just have to be strong to face these circumstances!
Varsha cries on Sulo's shoulder and Sulo consoles her.

Gauri removes his hand and suddenly hugs him! Soham is surprised!
Gauri says, Thank God, Soham u came for me! I was sure u would come for me very soon and take me away from here!
Soham is in a daze, Gauri ...?
Gauri smiles and looks at him, You cant believe it? Soham, when I went far from u then I realized ur love was not one-sided! I also love you as much as u love me! (she cups his face, his eyes soften with love)
Gauri tells him, Soham, you are not educated, but the sincerity in ur eyes, that means more to me than anything! And I love you a lot!
Soham smiles and cups her face, Then come away with me! Lets give everyone this good news now! I dont want to fight with anyone anymore! I dont have anymore complaints! I got you, then I got everything I wanted! I will marry you and we will go to Patna! Will u come with me?
Gauri smiles shyly and nods.
