In Aatishgarh, everyone is sitting on the dining table to have food. Pavitra tells Meethi that Mama excels in palmistry & jyotish vidya. She asks Meethi to show her hand so that mama can tell her something about her future as well. Meethi excitedly goes & shows her hand to him.
He looks at it & then notices Ekadish (jiji) coming downstairs with the supari cutter in hand & a smile appears on his face. He looks back at Meethi & says…no need to look at your hand…..the lines of your forehead are more than enough to understand things about you.
Both massi’s also look up in the direction of their jiji (who is very slowly descending the stairs) & look at Meethi & her in anticipation of what is going to happen.
Mama comments that its your mother’s destiny…the daughter has finally reached where her future has been so waiting for her from always. Your mother must have done many good deeds that you have come to this house (ok, I laughed here!)
Maiyya comes down & stands right behind Meethi’s chair…who is clueless about her arrival. She eyes Meethi’s hairs & moves the cutter at the back of her head.
Maiyya thinks to cut but in the end doesn’t. she tells Meehti to get up and show how is she looking.
Meethi gets up happily but notices Akash & goes to him.
Maiyya & Akash are miffed at Meethi for this & exchange glances.
She says…Vishnu, where were you. You dint even tell me and went all alone by yourself. (she was addressing him as TUM). Meethi again prods him to speak up.
Akash explains her that one, here they don’t leave the conversation with elders’ midway as it is an insult to them. (meethi nods) And two, that here a husband is addressed as AAP.
Meethi apologizes as there was no one to stop her from doing anything as per likes back at home.
Maiyya tells her that dint you mother tell you that a girl’s parents house is like an open sky but it’s a cage when it comes to their in-laws house.
Meethi clarifies that she dint knew that Vishnu had a family too as her never told anyone. She just knew that after marriage they will shift to the flat nearby their parents house & only the two of them will be staying together. She thought that she wont have to change herself in any way then.
Maiyya again tells her that its changes in one night only for a girl…as she leaves her home, her one relation ends & as soon as she enters her new home, her second relation begins.
Now Mama & then Meethi again ask Akash where he was. He replies that he had gone to the post office as the phone isn’t working so he had gone to send e-mail at her home. Meethi says that she could have joined him too (again in tum mode). The angry massi points this out to her & Meethi corrects herself.
She says…this Aatishgarh is somewhat weird……there is no landline or network coverage but one can send an e-mail.
Akash smiles & tells her to get habituated as it would be good for her.
Meethi asks Maiyya to raise her voice & concerns to the government as one shouldn’t stand by and watch in helplessness. Every village must have light & normal facilities that are daily necessities.
Maiyya exclaims that the new bride has a very high voice. Meethi goes mum.
Maiyya repeats her sentence & tells Vishnu that she has liked his choice very much. Akash asks Meethi to smile now as Maiyya is happy too….with her. And assures her that he has sent e-mail to both her dad & Jogi Thakur. she smiles finally.
Mukta says…what? They have sent an e-mail & dint call?
Rathores states that they have given an excuse that their International calling Card isn’t working.
Mukta says but papa you have travelled a lot. You must know that that is not the case. And agreed, if their card isn’t working, there are hotel phones, telephone booth & in case of an emergency, one can even ask for it from a stranger. What national calamity do they face that they can send an e-mail and not call. He thinks that he is very intelligent. Maybe he doesn’t want us to know his location.
Rathore says..he is sending e-mail so that we cannot trace his location. If he calls, then we can easily know where he is. But I wonder why the airlines staff said that they did board the flight.
Mukta replies that she doesn’t understand how he is managing to do all this. But she is sure that they haven’t left for Switzerland.
