The doctor came a while after to check on her. She announced that she thought Sai was pregnant. Everyone was shocked. No one said anything until the doctor left.
Kaku: Mujhe lagta hai ki kal tumhe Sai ko proper check up ke liye lena chahiye. Zaroor galat femi hua hoga doctor ko.
(I think tomorrow you should take Sai for proper check up. Surely the doctor must have been wrong.)
Sai and Virat looked at each other and looked away. Virat just nodded to Kaku. He noticed that Sai was starting to panic, so he told everyone to leave the room and let her rest. Everyone was confused because they expected Sai to bring up that their marriage was a deal and they had no such relationship...but she didn't. And Virat didn't say anything either.
Pakhi got worried. But then she thought back to how they were sleeping separately, and figured Sai really couldn't be pregnant.
Inside the room, Sai got off the bed pacing up and down panicking and starting to cry. Virat tried to calm her down but she wasn't listening.
He grabbed her shaking her to make her listen.
Virat: Shaant ho jao Sai
(Calm down sai)
Sai: Kaise shaant ho jaun Virat sir? Agar main sach mein pregnant to? Mere padhai ka kya hoga. Aur to aur main khud bacchi hun, main ek bacche ko kaise sambhalungi? (She said panicking)
(How can I calm down Virat sir? What if I'm really pregnant? What will happen to my studies? Moreover, I am a child myself, how will I take care of a child?)
He couldn't really argue with her last point.
He made her sit on the bed and gave her water. After she calmed down a little, he took her hand in his.
Virat: Sai (He said her name gently and it calmed her)
Virat: Mujhe pata hai ki tumhe bahut darr lag rahi hai. Aur iss darr, main kabhi samaj bhi nahi sakte. Lekin phir bhi, main tumhare saath hun Sai. Tum akeli nahi ho. (He said reassuringly)
(I know you are feeling very scared. And this fear, I can never even understand. But still, I am with you Sai. You are not alone.)
Virat: Rahi baat tumhare padhai ki, to tum pregnant ho ya na ho, iss baat ko no badlega ki tum apni padhai complete karenge.
(As for your studies, whether you are pregnant or not, it will not change that you will complete your studies.)
Sai: Lekin, kaise? Bahut mushkil hoga. Aur agar gharwalo ne mana kiya to?
(But how? will be very difficult. And what if the family refuses?)
Virat: Mujhe pata hai ki mushkil hoga, lekin mujhe ye bhi pata hai ki tum kar paungi. Aur gharwalo ki fikar mat karna. Koi bhi tumhe padhai karne se rok nahi payenge. Jaise pehle nahi kar sakte the.
(I know it will be difficult, but I also know that you will be able to do it. And don't worry about the family members. No one will be able to stop you from studying. Like they couldn't do it before.)
Sai had tears still running down lightly, and she wiped them.
Sai: Aur bacche wali baat?
(And the child thing?)
Virat: Matlab?
(Meaning?)
Sai: Vo main khud bacchi hun, bacche ko kaise sambhalegi main?
