Amma ji worries for Ganga. What if something happens to her? I shouldn’t have sent her alone. I will go to find her. She covers herself with a shawl as she goes out of her room stealthily.
Ganga continues running. Her state is still not good but she does not stop. She hides behind a truck. The men go in different direction to search for her. She resumes running. She finally lands in Amma ji’s arms. Amma ji hugs her.
Sagar gets up again feeling uneasy. He comes to his Dadi’s room but she isn’t there. He tries waking Ganga but finds pillows on the bed instead. Where is Ganga? Where is Dadi? Where can they both go at this hour? He notices his Dadi hugging Ganga and taking her inside with her somehow. He goes out. Amma ji is shocked to see him. He finds Ganga in an unconscious state. Where are you bringing her from? Amma ji makes him take her to her room. What to tell him now?
Sagar puts Ganga on the bed and covers her with a duvet. He goes out to talk to his Dadi next. Tell me what the matter is. You said Ganga is sleeping inside. Where did you bring her from then? Did you see her condition? She is so hurt. Amma ji says I dint want to tell you anything but I had to. I was also shocked to realise it. Ganga has a habit of sleep walking. Sagar is surprised. Amma ji adds Ganga has slept in my room since childhood. He asks her if it happens every night. Amma ji denies. it has decreased nowadays. I always used to lock the room from outside. She sees weird dreams many times. She tells me about it. He says you could have told me earlier. I would have taken her to doc. Amma ji lies that she took Ganga to Vaid ji. he said it will get better with age. I give her the medicine. Don’t say anything to Ganga. It can affect her badly as well. This is the reason I dint tell anyone about it. He looks confused. She makes him promise her that he wont tell anyone. He suggests taking Ganga to a doc.
Amma ji nods. You look tired. Sleep now. I am also her Dadi like you. I will look after her. He goes. Amma ji thinks of Baba’s words. Forgive me for lying. One has to lie so many times to hide one truth. You (Lord) know I am doing it all for Sagar.
