Simran is shocked at Urmila's story of sexual harassment. Urmila tells her that they took her to a guest house to entertain a senior officer and told her that if she did so they would reduce her sentence. She refused and they beat her. Simran is stupefied, tells her that she did not know such things still happened in jails. Urmila tells her that lots of girls commit suicide because of this and she wants to die too. She can't even complain since all are involved. Simran tells her to stay calm.
Simran comes out and the police and the doctor ask her what Urmila said. Simran tells them that she did not say anything. They leave and the police and doc have a quiet laugh. She relates everything to Manas. He wants to complain. But then says no, since they don't know the consequences. Both are wondering what to do. Manas talks of hiring a lawyer.
Simran, Manas & Dr ?? (Rashmi's husband) are with a lawyer and discussing the issue and planning a strategy. Lawyer says that they need Urmila's help for this but she needs to get out of the trauma and needs good care.
Neha and Abhi are having a good time wherever they are. It is a hill station.
Simran is again in hospital next day with Manas. Manas tells her that the matter has reached the Ministry level. Simran tells Urmila not to be scared any longer, they will not let anything further happen to her. Manas tells her to be strong. They tell her that they have spoken to a lawyer. Simran leaves. Manas tell Urmila that he will be with her all through.
Simran and Manas are on way back. They are discussing how to handle this issue. Manas thinks of involving the press. He talks of involving Abhi as he had handled the Poonam issue. He tells Simran to talk to the editor with whom Abhi is working, but it would not be right to disturb Abhi right now since he is on his honeymoon.
Again lots of lovey-dovey Abhi-Neha scenes.
Simran calls Promodji who is a journalist and tells him to bring this jail issue in front of public. Promodji is very willing provided they can talk business. How much is Simran willing to pay for the story. Last time he got 5 lakhs from the opposition for exposing a sitting minister. She hangs up. She calls Manas and relates what happened. Tells him she will call others since they need a committed journalist and not a businessman. Simran is still thinking about disturbing Abhi on his honeymoon.
Simran is sitting and playing with Astha but is in deep thoughts. She calls Abhi but finds his mobile switched off. She calls the room through switch board, Neha and Abhi are frolicking and Abhi leaves the handset off the hook and Simran hears them having fun and has an odd expression on her face.

Abhi calls Simran to check if she had called him up. She says yes but refuses to tell him why. However Abhi can make out from her voice that something is wrong. The only thing she tells him is that they felt the need of Musafir's column but they can talk after their return. Abhi insists that they go back. Neha tells him that they can go after their trip is over in 3-4 days. Abhi gets upset with her for being so selfish. He calls up the operator and tells that they will be checking out in the morning.
Abhi's parents and Neha's mom are eating lunch at their place and talking about Abhi and Neha when they walk in. The parents are surprised and Abhi tells them he had some work and he will be back shortly.
Simran, Manas and lawyer are talking about how to handle media in Urmila's case when Abhi walks in. They are surprised but explain the entire situation to Abhi. They plan a strategy but they say they need some proof to make their case strong.
Abhi's father comes into Neha's room and asks her the reason for coming back early. She gives her mom as the reason. He then asks her who had called them from Bombay. She says Simran had called and Abhi decided to return. But she does not know the reason. She tells him not to tell Abhi that she told him the true reason for return.
Simran and Manas are talking to Urmila and asking her to get names of other officers. She tells them that it is not possible since there are only one or two people in the forefront. Simran tells her to befriend other women and extract information. Simran relates the matter to Abhi. He wants to start writing immediately. She tells him to relax. Manas tells Simran that she was being too selfish in calling him back from his honeymoon early. Even though it was his third, it was Neha's first and it was not fair on Neha. Simran does not look at all repentant.

Here is the gist.....
Neha and Abhi are back from their honeymoon. They are looking at their honeymoon
pictures and one of them reminds Abhi of Simran so he goes in to flashback mode.
Then he feels very affectionate about Neha seeing her enthusiasm for the snaps
and strokes her hair. Abhi goes out to meet Simran about Urmila's case. In the
meanwhile Simran's dad arrives at her house and gets a bit upset when Shaguna
informs him that she has gone to meet abhi. Simran coems back tired and there is
an argument between father and daughter about why she should go to abhi when
there are so many other reporters in the city. Simran snaps at him and says that
it is purely professional, a call comes from the hospital and she leaves again
in a bad mood.
Scene shifts to Abhi's house. His parents take good care of Neha and moti bhens
does not allow her dil to do any work in the kitchen. Neha is upset about this.
Poonam coems to meet Neha. They go in the bedroom to talk and Neha mentions
casually that her appetite is not so good and she feels tired most of the time.
Poonam looks excited and drags Neha with her outside.
Abhi returns home and finds that everyone in his house is acting very excited
and happy and making stupid jokes about liking "khatta" thing and all...he
wonders what's wrong and goes inside to ask Neha. She shows a doctor's report
that says her pregnancy test is positive. Abhi is overjoyed and hugs Neha!
