Mayuri opened her eyes and found herself in the hospital. Yash, Sneha, Tulsi all were surrounding her.
Doctor: How r u Mayuri?
Mayuri: i am fine doctor.
Doctor: Don't worry Mrs. Tulsi. She is perfectly fine. Bas thoda sa shock lagne ki wajah se ye sab hua tha.
Mayuri: Bhoomi kahan hai?
Tulsi . Yash and Sneha began to smile as Mayuri was more puzzled.
Tulsi: Main usse andar bhejti hoon.
They all were about to leave when mayuri stops Sneha.
Mayuri: Tum log kahan jaa rahein ho?
Sneha: Don't worry. Bhoomi is with her papa. They both were waiting for u.
Mayuri was shocked after heairng that. It was not a dream. She thinks.
All of them went outside closing the door. Mayuri keeps on looking at the door with anxiety. The door opens again and her heartbeat increases. Pratham enters into the room and closes the door.Mayuri was constantly looking at him without blinking her eyes. Pratham too starts moving towards her constantly looking at her. He reaches near Mayuri and sits down on the bed. Mayuri was still unable to beleive her eyes.
Pratham touched her cheek and tears began to flow fom his eyes.
Pratham(in a husky voice): How are u Mayuri?
Saying this, he places his finger in middle of the her eyebrows. Her eyes got automatically closed as she receives constant releief.
She opens her eyes and finds Pratham looking at her. She touched his hand to feel his presence and found that he really was there and she was not dreaming
Mayuri(about to burst into tears)Pratham......
Pratham too smiles with tears in his eyes. They both got attracted towards each other like the diffrent ends of a strong magnet and hugged each other in their arms.
Mayuri(totally broken):You came back Pratham. U know i can't tell u how i am feeling.
Pratham(): I know Mayuri. I know everything.
He kissed her shoulder and neck.Mayuri was crying bitterly.
Mayuri(crying bitterly): I missed u so much Pratham. Please don't leave me like that again.
Pratham: I promise u Mayuri. I will never ever leave u alone again.Never.
Mayuri: I am too happy pratham. After a long time, i am feeling so happy.
They both leaves each other with great difficulty. Pratham kissed her hand .
Mayuri; But how did all this happen Pratham? How did u came back?
Pratham: Its all because of u Mayuri. It's because of your love that i am back today.
Thinking this, Pratham starts telling her what he has to go through in these six years.

Flashback:
At an unknown place, Pratham was sitting alone totally lost into her thoughts and in front of him was a big screen on which he was watching Mayuri's house since he leaved her alone. He knew everything happened with Mayuri in these six years . His father came there.
UM: pratham. What are u doing here?
Pratham: Nahi Pitaji. Kuch nahin.
Umesh looks at the screen and finds everything.
UM: Oh to tum abhi tak use bhool nahi paaye.
Pratham: Main usse nahi bhool paunga Pitaji. Kabhi nahi.
UM: I know beta. lekin tum fikr kyunk karte ho. Bhale hi tum abhi uske saath nahi ho, lekin u know whenever she dies, she will be with u .Like ur mother.
At the same time, gayatri(mother of Pratham) comes there.
Pratham: I know Pitaji. Lekin usse apne saath rakhne ke liye main use uske apno se door karne ki prarthna(prayer) nahi kar sakta.
Saying this, he leaves from there whereas Umesh and gayatri keeps on sitting there.
Gayatri: Aap kuch kariye na?
UM: Main kya kar sakta hoon Gayatri? Kuch nahi.
Gayatri: Main ab apne bete ko aise nahi dekh sakti. Aur mujhe ye bhi pata hai ki is waqt mayuri par kya beet raj\hi hogi. Kyunki woh bhi is waqt usi dard ko mehsoos jakar rahi hogi jo kabhi maine kiya tha.
Um: Mujhe pata hai gayatri. Kaash main bhi apne bete ki tarah samajhdaar hota to tumhe woh sab sehne ki jaroorat nahi padti.
Gayatri: Aap aise kyun keh rahe hain. Aakhir mein to aap mere saath hain na. Aur main bahut khush hoon aapke saath. Lekin aap ek baar aap saint Vishwajeet se baat to kariye. Mujhe vishwaas hai woh hamare bete ki feelings ko jaroor samjhenge.
Um nodes his head and leaves from there.

Pratham was sitting somewhere alone when he was informed that Saint Vishwajeet wants to meet him. He comes in front of Saint Vishwajeet.
V: Mujhe Umesh ne sab bata diya hai Pratham.Tum waapas jaana chahte ho na Pratham.
Prahtam was surprised. He looks at Umesh and Gayatri who were smiling.
V: Hamare rules humein insaano ke saath rishta banane se mana jaroor karte hain Pratham. Lekin u know now i have to take an important decision. And that's because that girl is still waiting for u . Yes Pratham, it is because of her that today i am going to send u back  on earth.
Pratham was unable to beleive his ears. He was getting mad with happiness.
V: But there is one problem Pratham.
Pratham: Kya saint Vishwajeet.
V: U know i can't break the rules. That's why u have to go down as a normal human being. All your special powers will be taken back from u.
Pratham: That's not a prblem Saint. This is a very small price i have to pay. I am ready to leave everything.
Saint Vishwajeet becomes too much happy after hearing that he was ready to leave his special power and personality for his love.
V: I know son. And i am so proud of u. And it's a blessing for u and your wife for a happy and long married life from my side. Stay happy forever.
Pratham: Thank u saint.
Saying this, he reached near Umesh and Gayatri.
Pratham: I am so sorry maa and Pitaji....
Gayatri(stoppingnhim in between): Kuch kehne ke jaroorat nahi hai Pratham. Aur hum khud chahte hain ki hamara beta khush rahe. We know ki tum humse door jaa rahe j\ho, lekin hum hameshhaa tumhare saath rahenge.
Pratham: Thanks maa.
Saying this, he touched the feet of both Umesh and Gayatri. They both hugged him tightly and wished him all the best.
Thye next moment he find himself at the same place in goa where he died.He gets up and looked here and there in excitement.
Pratham(crying in excitement )Yohoooooooooooooooooooo. I just love this place. I am coming Mayuri. I ma coming back in our own world.
The flashback ends.
Pratham: And rest of story u know very well. I came here and meet Bhoomi in the night. And then we planned this surprise for u.
Mayuri: You left everything just for my sake. Your powers, your world and everything. Just for me.
Pratham(holding her hand): Not for u. For us , for Bhoomi and for our family.
Mayuri: Thanks Pratham. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki main itni lucky hoon.
Pratham: Thanks to mujhe kehna chahiye. Apni duniya mein wapas laane ke liye. Agar tum himmat haar jaati to main kabhi vapas nahi aa pata.
They both gets emotional and hugs tightly each other.
Mayuri: I love u Pratham.
Pratham: I love u too.Aur ek baat ke liye thanks once again. Mere jaane ke baad tumne Mittal empire ka itna khayal rakha.
Mayuri: Well isme mujhse jyada Samar aur maa ka haath hai. Warna, u know very well, business ke maamle mein main bilkul zero hoon.
Pratham: Samar, waise where is he? I hope he is allright.
Mayuri: Ya he is fine. Usne hum logon ka bahut saath diya hai. Agar woh nahi hota to pata nahi hum ye sab sambhal paate ya nahin.Aur woh Australia gaya hai. Kal Bhoomi ke birhtday par aa jayega. And he will be very happy to meet u.
Pratham: I hope so.
They both were still in each other's arms when Bhoomi opens the door and enters inside.
Bhoomi: Ye aap log kya kar rahein hain?
They both felt embarrased and leaves each other.
Pratham: Woh papa aapse aur mumma se itne din door the na to papa mumma ko bata rahe the ki wahan kya kya hua?
Mayuri : U come here u little devil. Waise hameshaa mumma ki side rehti ho aur pehli baar papa ko dekhte hi papa ki side ho gayin.
Saying this, she starts pampering her and Bhoomi was all in smiles.
Bhoomi: U know papa. Kal mera birthday hai. Aur mere school ka last day. To kal aap mere saath school chalna. Hum log sabko invite karke aayenge.
Pratham: ok darling as u say.
Saying this, she kisses Bhoomi and she rans down outside.
The nurse comes in with the discharge papers and Pratham signs them.
Pratham: Ghar chalein.
Mayuri gives her consent. He extends his hand to her. She smiles and gives her hand in his. They both leaves from there holding each other hand and with their eyes full of dreams of happiness  in their future life.
