A is pleasantly surprised to see a few people from Jaitser at the door who inform her that they have bought some stuff for A sent by Dadi Sa. Sachi asks her what that stuff was (it sounded like ‘Sanjara’, sorry id i spelt it incorrectly). A explains that the following day was Kajli teej which is celebrated with alot of pomp in the haveli. She explains how the family has to wake up at 4.30-5 am and eat the Sanjara after which they have to fast the whole day. Sachi complaints as to why the sanjara was sent for A and not her since A is no longer the daughter-in-law and that she is going to be the daughter-in-law of the house. A explains that Sanjara is sent only for the daughter and not the daughter-in-law and hence next year the Shekhars would send sanjara for Sachi in Jaitser. Ira tells A that they have never celebrated this festival and hence ask her to explain what needs to be done. Sachi then expresses her desire to fast for J. She says that she wants to learn all the rituals before the wedding so that she doesn’t look ignorant. A explains that Sachi will have to last on one glass of water the whole day and hence she should rethink. Sachi insists that she will do it. Ira assures A that seeing the changes in Sachi she is sure she will be able to manage. A then tells Sachi that she will have to continue keeping the fast from now on every year. Sachi boasts saying that if she has given all her life to J, then one day of fasting in a year is not a big deal. The ladies are happy hearing this dialogue… The torture ends!!!
