Gauri got dressed nicely and arrived in hall. "Let's go Naina" she held Naina's hand. Naina kept looking at Kali's room door hoping she will be out and will agree to come with them. Yug came and placed hand on Naina's head hinting Kali won't come. Naina was disappointed. With off mood she leave with Yug and Gauri for school.
Kali rushes to window. She feels sad looking at Naina who is upset more. When car departs Kali couldn't hold her tear more and bursts out. Manjiri comes to support her. Kali hugs Manjiri. " Why my life is turmoil Manji maa." Kali asked. Manjiri consoled Kali. "Why did you do this Kali? You know much Naina loves you then why did you break her heart?" Manjiri asked. "I had no choice Manji maa" Kali replied. Kali told everything to Manjiri that Yug still loves her and dont want to accept Gauri because of her presence. "This is wrong. I will talk to Yug. He had to give all rights to Gauri" Manjiri said. "Manji maa there is no use of making him understand by words. We both know he won't listen. That's why I have decided..." Kali's pause skipped Manjiri's heartbeat as she realized Kali again have to sacrifies something to make it work. "Naina was reason Yug married to Gauri and Naina is only one who can bring them close" Kali said. "Kali, but do you know while doing this you have to keep Naina away from you. You can't stay without her for few hours how will you tolerate distance from her?"
Manjiri asked. "I know Manji maa, it's not easy for me. But i will be there whenever she needs me. Though i will stay physically away from her but my heart will be always there for her" Kali said. "Kali is that reason you didn't go to Naina's school" Manjiri asked. "Manji maa, I had to start it from somewhere so I did" Kali replied. Manjiri wrapped Kali in her arms knowing her daughter needs her support now.
In school, all parents came along with their children. Kali could not control her feelings and came to school as well ensuring Naina or Yug dont spot her. After all it was first prize which Naina is going to receive of her life. So proud moment it was for her. Yug and Gauri acquired chairs along with Naina. Yug kept looking around in a hope Kali will come. But she was nowhere. Where as Kali ensured she is hiding behind curtain so that no one will spot her. Prize distribution ceremony strated and soon Naina's name was announced. Naina walked on stage. Kali had teary eyes. She wanted to see her daughter receiving award and she was seeing it. Naina came on stage but was not ready to accept prize. "What happened?" Principal asked her. "Mam I want to say something. I want this prize from my mumma's hand" Naina reolied. All crowd looked at her in astonishment. "Beta what are you saying. See this uncle is giving prize to everyone and so to you." Priciple said looking at MLA. "I know mam. But this uncle didnt help me out in my studies. He was not awakened for whole night during my exams. He was not there to feed me while I was studying. It was my mumma" Naina replied innocently. Everyone was surprised at her answer including Kali herself. Principle wanted to intervene. But MLA gave consent and asked Naina to bring her mom on stage. Naina was happy and run down the stage. Yug was disappointed. He knew its Kali's effort Naina was talking about. But for whole world, Gauri will be represented as Naina's mother. "Why you did not come Kali?" Yug wished. Gauri was all excited for the moment but Naina led her to biggest disappointment when she simply passed by her and went near curtain. Naina pulled Kali from behind the curtain and walked to stage. Yug was happy to see Kali there. And Kali was surprised how could Naina spotted her all crowd. Naina took Kali on stage and presented her to everyone. "Mam she is my mom. Mrs. Kali Chaudhary" Naina said. Kali kept looking at crowd blindly. Kali was asked to give trofee to Naina. Kali had teary eyes and Naina's face was full with smile. Kali handed over prize to Naina and heard first clap from crowd. It was Yug. Soon entire crowd stood up and clapped for the great bond between Mother and daughter. Kali pulled Naina and hugged her tightly. All she could not stop tears flowing through her eyes. And there was nothing which was stoppijg smile
Naina, Kali and Gauri were standing together. Naina introduced Kali as mother to all her friends. Yug came there "Thanks for coming Kali" Yug said. Kali was all apprehensive. She knew Gauri didnt like her coming to function. "So Naina are you happy now?" Yug asked smilingly. "Yes papa" Naina hugged him. "Go play with your friends." Yug said to Naina. "Kali we need to talk to principal for Pavitra's admission." Yug reminded Kali. Kali didn't want to get stuck in situation where Gauri getting upset for her being with Yug. But her daughter's future was more important to her. Yug and Kali left for principal office and Gauri was standing alone looking at Naina playing.
Gauri was all angry on fact Kali came to function despite she promised her she won't come. On top of that gossip around her added to fuel as how Kali and Yug makes beautiful couple and how good Naina's upbringing is. Everyone was referring Kali as Mrs. Yug Chaudhary and she lost her control. "Excuse me! Whats your problem. Do you know who is real Mrs. Yug Chaudhary is?" Gauri shouted on lady. "Anyone will come. Stand next to my husband and you all will call her Mrs. Yug Chaudhary? I am Mrs. Gauri Yug Chaudhary. Not she. You got that. I am wife of Yug and not that Kaali." Gauri created a scene over there. Unaware of fact Naina witnessed that moment and it created lots of questions in that little girls mind.
In the night, Yug was happy in his room. He could not get over the moment when Naina called Kali on stage and introduced her to everyone. He recalled moment when he did same in closed auditorium one day. The dream of Kali having her identity which he saw...his daughter completed that. Today for the world she was Naina's mother and he knew nothing else would make Kali more happy. With that smiling face, he was packing birthday gift for Naina. But Gauri was restless. All she was recalling how Naina called Kali on stage and introduced her as Kali Chaudhary. And later everyone calling Kali as Mrs. Yug Chaudhary and they praising Kali and Yug together. "Gauri Gauri" Yug was calling her. Gauri came to senses. "Have you brought something for Naina? It's her birthday tomorrow. I hope you remember" Yug asked. "Yug she is my daughter and I do remember important things about her. But you won't understand this " Gauri snapped angrily. "Ok" Yug didn't reply more. He got busy wrapping up gift again. Gauri was irritated again.
Kali made Pavitra sleep on bed. Naina was restless. Gauri's word were echoing in her ear that Kali is not Yug's wife. Kali saw Naina disturbed after returning from school. Kali pulled her close. "What happened Naina" Kali asked. "Mumma, are you not Papa's wife?" Naina questioned innocently. Kali looked at her in shock. She was too young to understand their relationship dynamics. "Who told you this?" Kali asked. "That's not answer mumma. Tell me are you not Papa's wife" Naina asked again. Kali was hesitant to answer but she had to tell truth to Naina "No. I am not" Kali replied. "But my every friend tells their mom and dad are husband and wife. But why you two are not. Why Gauri mumma is Papa's wife" Naina asked next question. It was difficult for Kali to make Naina understand. But Kali knew how to handle her. "See who says that your mumma papa are not husband wife. Gauri is your mumma to and she is wife your papa. Isn't it?" Kali answered other way round. Naina tried to understand what Kali said. "It's too much late now. Sleep." Kali asked Naina. Kali pull Naina on lap and tried to make her sleep with worrying about questions from Naina.
