Age is just a number 9 August 2020: Arya bluntly tells her mother that instead of coming to her she should have gone to Sahil and tell the new version of what had happened five years back. As Vedika stares at her daughter , teary and helpless,Arya makes it clear that she considers Sahil as her father now and is ashamed of having a mother like her…unmindful of the onlookers
,Arya goes on with her tirade to say that she is no more the Arya of yesteryears who would believe in her mother blindly without further questions…to Vedika ‘s shock she declares that she she is not Arya vedika Mathur now but Arya Sahil Agarwal …and advises Her mother to give her explanations to her Sahil papa , if at all she wants to prove her innocence….if he believes in her innocence ,she would too….
Otherwise she should n’t even try meet her in future….Without even looking back ,Arya storms out leaving her mother staring after her daughter and wondering if she is the same darling daughter of hers who played with her as a little girl ,advised her as a friend after growing up and supported her in everything….Vedika goes inside and as she reminisces those nostalgic memories ,she feels miserable at the realisation that her daughter will become a memory now if she doesn’t act fast…
In the Agarwal house ,Badi Amma takes the goon to task and slaps him for failing to kill Arya….She is furious that the girl who has now become the cynosure of Sahil’s eye could n’t get killed…the goon explains he would have certainly eliminated her had someone not come in between ,,,,He takes out the mobile and shows the photo of that ‘someone’ who saved Arya’s life that day….And B.A stands speechless to see Arya with Vedika….
Vedika ,in her desperation,to get proof for proving her innocence in Anjana’s murder,requests her friend maya to help her….she beseeches her to request her husband ,who is a senior police officer now ,to help her and open for one last time ,the concerned files and go into the case once again so that she can say to Sahil and Arya that she is innocent she tells her friend how She had to censure herself and accept to have committed the crime as she was threatened by the lady inspector in the jail that she would kill her unborn baby …to save Sadika ,she had to flee from Kanpur and live as a recluse for five years away from Sahil and away from her daughter…
.But enough is enough ,she has already paid dearly for something she has not done….As Vedika helplessly cries and begs Maya to do something ,Maya,equally helpless ,explains that her husband has already tried all possible means to unearth the truth….but ,as the case is already five years od,some files have gone missing ,the police personnel who were there that time ,got transferred…it will now be a Herculean task to reopen the case….Unwilling to accept the ground realities,Vedika ,out of frustration ,screams at her friend that there should be some way …..some way to get the truth out….explaining that it is unbearable to see her mother,daughter ,Sahil and everyone hating her,she hugs Maya and starts crying…
The goon tells a stunned B.A that he feels the woman who saved Arya must be related to her in someway…BA comes out of her trance and wonders how can Vedika be alive ,that too in Kanpur……Vedika stops crying and promises herself that she has tolerated enough for other’s sins. And it is high time to find out the real culprit and exonerate herself from the accusation …as Sadika is growing up ,she should not live with ths accusation anymore…
BA gives back the mobile to the goon and dismisses him hastily with the instructions that he should wait for her further orders….Once he leaves,B.A thinks how come Vedika is in Kanpur…is it for Ved…has Vedika come to know that Ved is her son….then B.a dismisses the thought reasoning that she is the only who knows who are Ved’s parents….For Sahil and Bhoomi ,Ved is the son of Vedika and Yash …and for the society,Sahil and Bhoomi are Ved’s parents..She reminisces how ,after taking away the baby from an unconscious Vedika,she convinced Sahil and Bhoomi to become his parents explaining that Vedika had abandoned the baby and fled the hospital after giving birth
…She also recollects what Sahil had said while accepting the baby …that it was not the baby’s fault to be orphaned by his mother,at the same time he wouldn’t like to become parent to an orphan …instead ,he would consider this child as his own but ,to make the society believe the baby is theirs, he and Bhoomi would have to leave Kanpur for a year…B.A also recollects how Bhoomi hesitated first saying that her sister can never do such a callous thing as to abandon her baby and they should search for her …and how she made Bhoomi to accept to become Ved’s mother in case they fail to search Vedika and how all the three of them had agreed that this secret would be among the three of them only with Sahil emphasising that no one should tell Vedika that ved is her son even if she comes back…
Reminiscing the past happenings post Ved’s birth ,B..A promises herself that this secret should remain a secret under any circumstances….but wonders about Vedika’s return to Kanpur….what if she gets even a whiff of the truth….Vedika will go to any extent to get back to her son which she shouldn’t allow at any cost….
As Vedika ponders over what is going on and who is responsible for all this ,she is shocked to see B.A opening the doors and coming in……Without any preliminaries ,BA comes straight to the point and asks is she still not satisfied with what all she had done five years back to come back again to Kanpur and into their lives..interrupting her ,Vedika reminds BA that is he has not come to their house rather she is the one who is standing in her house…..and if anyone is intruding into anyone’s life ,it is she ..the great BA …BA ,furious with Vedika’s courage and impertinence ,warns her to exercise caution as her mother and daughter are still in her house and she should not even dream of meeting either her son ,or Bahu or grandson…if she does so ,she will be responsible for the repercussions…
.She threatens to raise such a storm that even if she sees Arya burning in it , she will not make any effort to rescue her….When Vedika warns her to not even touch her daughter,BA shouts at her saying that her own daughter hates her and she feels like throwing away her daughter and mother out of their house..Vedika stops BA in her tracks to make it clear if she dares to touch Arya,she will be inviting the wrath of her mother…..let Arya hate her ,it doesn’t matter….when BA tries to counter,Vedika tells her in no uncertain terms that she is not afraid of anyone as she is innocent and she will certainly prove it to Sahil and Arya…
.She’ll shocked,BA just stands there staring not knowing how to retaliate and Vedika shows her the door….coming out ,BA stops for a moment and decides to stop Vedika somehow before she becomes KALI MA and destroys her…for that she has to create such a situation whereby Sahil and Bhoomi will kick her out of Kanpur and out of their lives for ever….
As Puneesh ,behind closed doors ,discusses on the phone about some deal ,his wife standing outside ,overhears the conversation and storms in to see the woman with whom he is conversing…Puneesh points out at her portrait and says she is the one whom he was talking to…feeling bad for doubting her husband ,she asks for his forgiveness…he says people and circumstances will never be the same…they do change…and they hug each other…
As Vedika reminisces about BA ‘s threats to Arya’s life,she gets disturbed and restless….she wants to ring up Arya and warn her but remembering her daughter’s hatred for her,she decides against it…She remembers her mother and decides to call her but concludes she won’t be able to help Arya…..as she thinks of ways to contact Arya,she remembers Bhoomi…
As Bhoomi cuddles Ved ,who is sleeping ,Sahil comes into their bedroom and stands watching Bhoomi’s affection for Ved…He wonders aloud how much Bhoomi loves Ved that she gets alarmed for every small thing….Bhoomi responds that this is the story of every mother.when Sahil thanks her for giving so much love to Ved,Bhoomi admits that five years back ,before Ved’s arrival ,she did n’t have this feeling in her heart …it is Ved who has awakened the love of a mother in her….When Sahil cautions her not to love anyone so much which might break her heart later,Bhoomi gets up and warns him not to make this statement again in future…as she is Ved’s mother and will remain his mother…so what if she has not given him birth…And Sahil has nothing to say except for watching Bhoomi kissing Ved fondly …
Vedika finally decides to riing up Bhoomi and calls her….Sahil takes the call .and says Hello…Listening to his voice ,Many beautiful memories pour in and Vedika just lstands there listening to his voice with the beautiful song ‘mana ke hum yara nahi’ playing in the background ..Sahil disconnects the call and tells Bhoomi it must be a wrong number …And Vedika cries at her fate and ill luck…
Prachi and Puneesh hear Bari Amma ordering Vaidika’s arrest from her house. Prachi was worried if Vaidika returned?Vaidika was busy on a phone call with Maya when two goons head inside.Bari Amma gets the news of Vaidika’s kidnapping.
There at home, Bhoomi looks for Ved. Sahil also goes looking for Ved.Vaidika lay in a godown with her hands and feet tied, her mouth stuffed. Someone brings Ved near her. Bari Amma tells the goons she wants Vaidika to be blamed for Ved’s kidnap and is leaving Ved.
At Agarwal house, Aarya suggests Sahil to inform police. Gauri agrees. Bhoomi cries and asks Sahil to find her son. Bari Amma says she knows where Ved is. That Vaidika has returned to the city, it’s a confirmed news that Vaidika must have kidnapped him. Puneesh thinks soon Vaidika and Ved would both be dead. Bhoomi pleads Sahil to get Ved.
The police arrived and noted what Ved was wearing. Sahil gives them Ved’s photo. Bari Amma thinks as soon as the doubt goes to Vaidika Sahil won’t spare her. He men would soon call with the demand of money. She gets a call from the goons with a bad news that some men have kidnapped Ved and Vaidika for real. Bari Amma now panics and says nothing can happen to her Ved. Everyone gathers around, Bari Amma shivered and orders the police inspector to place banners across the city. Nani wonders why Bari Amma realized the situation so late. Bari Amma thinks who can kidnap Ved?
Vaidika wakes up and finds herself tied to a chair. Ved calls Vaidika to save him, his feet ache. Vaidika questions the kidnapper why the child is kidnapped. Puneesh thinks Bari Amma seems to have gone old now, he will now make her open her lockers for Ved. Ved cries and calls Vaidika for help, he is really fearful. Vaidika struggles with the ropes.
Bhoomi sat in her room and wonders what if Vaidika came to know Ved was her child. She panics and confirms from Sahil if she will get Ved back? Bari Amma was tensed that Ved has been kidnapped, still there was no call for ransom.
Puneesh calls Sahil and demands 10 crore to be brought to the venue already in his texts. Vaidika was successful in getting herself freed. She was shocked to see Sahil’s child and gets him freed, caresses and hugs him. She leaves the godown with Ved but a fist full of sand was thrown on her face. Puneesh watch them from outside while Vaidika fall back in godown. Ved was tied to a pillar.
Bari Amma prepares the bag filled with money. She wanted her Ved at any cost. Deepak holds the bag but Sahil snatches it saying he will take the money and police both.Ved had been tied to a wall, his eyes blindfolded. Vaidika was only concerned for Ved.
Puneesh had come with a wooden rod. Vaidika couldn’t see because of hurting eyes.Sahil tells Bari Amma he will take money and police. Bhoomi says he can’t put her son’s life in danger. Sahil didn’t want to endanger his son’s life and give a courage to kidnappers. Sahil tells Bhoomi he loves Ved as much as she does.
A goon beats Vaidika with a wooden rod at her back. She screams of pain for a while, then gathers courage and gets hold of the wooden rod. She beats the goon to death. Puneesh had left with his men already. Vaidika unties Ved from the pole.Sahil reach the venue with the police.
Vaidika assures Ved that they will soon be safe. She sits with Ved in her lap. He was tired and falls asleep.At Agarwal house, Bhoomi prays for Ved’s life in temple.
Vaidika sings a lullaby to Ved while he was sleeping with his head in her lap.Sahil and police were attracted towards her singing.Puneesh instructs his men to open the door of basement, it must appear that Vaidika and Ved came in with their own will.Sahil and police break in the godown.
Vaidika hear the footsteps and decides to run away.
Sahil and Police cautiously climb the stairs. Vaidika reach right behind Sahil and the police. Both recall the past while they confront each other. Sahil moves forward and snatch Ved from her. Her dress was stuck with his arm that he gets away with a jerk. He recalls Anjana’s death and his claim over Sahil.
