Shivaay: She came to know about Om and then I had to tell her everything….
Aniruddh: I am sorry Priyanka….
Priyanka: Don’t say sorry Bhaiya (Aniruddh and Shivaay look at her surprised)…. You are not Om Bhaiya but still you are my Bhaiya…. I know you did the accident but it was unintentional and I don’t blame you for that…. In fact I should thank you that you were there with this family when they needed it the most…. You took over all the responsibilities and took care of everyone…. Very few people have this good heart to forget their life and live for others…. You have done a mistake but you have done more than enough to rectify it (Aniruddh and Shivaay are shocked by her words. Priyanka hugs Aniruddh)…. You are and always will be my Bhaiya….
Aniruddh: Thank you so much Priyanka….
Priyanka: All my brothers call me Prinku…. So….
Aniruddh: Okay Prinku…. And I promise I’ll always be with you and you are my sister forever….
Shivaay feels happy seeing them.
Priyanka: Let us leave…. All must be waiting for us….
Aniruddh: You both go…. I’ll come in some time….
Shivaay: What happened, why are you not coming with us?
Aniruddh: I have one important work before coming there…. You both go…. I’ll be on time….
Shivaay: Okay, we’ll leave; you come after completing your work….

OUTISDE OMKARA’S WARD,
Aniruddh was looking through the glass pane, tears had filled his eyes, Ishana knew how he must be feeling, and she holds his hand,
Ishana: Don’t worry…. He’ll get well soon…. Let us go inside….
Aniruddh: After the accident, this is the first time I am going to see him…. I know he is in a coma but still I don’t have the courage to face him…. I am the one responsible for his condition…. I don’t know how to see him in this situation….
Ishana: I know this is difficult for you…. But I am there with you…. Don’t worry….
Aniruddh: I know that you are with me and that is why I brought you with me, I needed someone to be with me and I only trust you….
Ishana looks at him in surprise but she didn’t say anything, they enter the room and look at Om who was lying on the bed, Aniruddh looks at him with tears flowing from his eyes, he sits beside him and Ishana stands near him, she kept her hand on Aniruddh’s shoulder giving him the much needed support,
Aniruddh: I know that you don’t know this but you are here in this situation because of me…. I am responsible for this condition of yours…. I did that accident, it was my mistake, my crime and you are paying for it…. I know my sorry cannot change anything and nor can it bring you out of this condition…. But if possible please forgive me…. Once you gain consciousness you can punish me in whatever way you want…. I’ll face and accept whatever punishment you give me…. (Ishana looks at him with tears…. Aniruddh held Om’s hand in his hand)…. I am sorry Omkara…. I am really sorry…. I promise you that I’ll take care of your family and I’ll always stand by them…. I’ll never let them face any problem…. I’ll fulfill my promise….
Tears are flowing from his eyes, he keeps his head near Om’s hand and cries, Ishana feels sad seeing him,
Ishana: Please Aniruddh…. Don’t cry like this…. Please….
Aniruddh is crying when he felt a movement and he looks up shocked, he could feel the movement in Om’s hand, and looks at him and then at Ishana, Ishana is surprised by his behavior,
Ishana: What has happened Aniruddh?
Aniruddh: He…. He moved his fingers…. (Ishana looks at him shocked)…. Yes…. Omkara moved his fingers….
Ishana: This is a good thing…. I think we should inform the doctors….
Aniruddh: You are right…. Let us inform Karan and Natasha….
They look at Om once and leave from there.

Janhvi: But Tej, if they come here…
Tej: Don’t worry Janhvi, Shekhar has told me he’ll not come to Oberoi Mansion and that we should only go to their mansion…
Janhvi: They both have done so much for us…. We’ll never be able to repay their debt…
