Chapter 16

She kisses Sanu's hand. It was evening but Shyam did not know anything. He wandered in search of his parents. Ten days had passed. Surbhi daily apologizes to God for her mistake.

One day a couple came to the door. Both were beggars. Torn clothes, dark circles under eyes, puffy cheeks, stomach was empty with hunger.

He asked Surbhi to eat something. Surbhi fed them both. Then asked to rest in the verandah.

Only the Maya of God will be called, after finding Shyam, the police was bringing him home. The missing report of Shyam, who was missing for 10 days, was written by Surbhi in the nearby police station. As soon as Shyam stepped into the house, his eyes fell on the couple sleeping in the verandah. When Surbhi saw Shyam, she clinged to him and started apologizing. When Shyam asked about the sleeping couple, Surbhi told the whole incident. Then when Shyam's eyes fell on the man's hand, he screamed.

"Bauji"

The couple's sleep was broken by the scream. The old man was very happy to see his son in front. When he asked to identify the woman sitting next to him, Shyam's happiness was not there. She was his mother.

The policemen were also surprised to see the meeting of the family.

Surbhi also touched her mother-in-law's feet and applied their dust to her forehead. They were taken inside and bathed etc. and were made to sleep on soft mattresses to rest.
