Tej coming back home at night. He is drunk… he comes out of the car and has a flashback of when he imagined Mukta running towards him and hugging him. Then he remembers Mukta agreeing to marry him… flashbacks of his conversation with Mukta (in the last episode) and goes inside the haveli.
He goes upstairs to his room. Tapasya is sleeping on the bed.
He closes the door and locks it.
He says, Pati Parmeshwar has come for you Patni ji… wouldn’t you serve him?
He goes near the bed and leans over Tapasya…
Tapasya opens her eyes and sits up on the bed… she warns him not to come close to her.
Tej says, what will you do? Kill me? I can even give my life for you.
Tej says, you keep saying Pati Parmeshwal all the time, now serve your pati parmeshwar.
Tapasya throws a lamp at him, but he ducks and lamp crashes on the wall.
Tapasya tries to open the door and go out, but he catches her and throws her on the bed. He says, a woman is called ‘abla’ because she’s weaker than a man… you haven’t realised the strength of a man yet… a woman like you belongs in my feet.
He tries to molest her.. and says, every woman who fights with a man with her tongue should know what it results in… I couldn’t get the daughter, but at lease I can get the mother.
Tapasya pushes him away with her feet… he falls down on the floor and the alcohol bottle pours all over him.
Tapasya grabs a matchbox and keeps lighting matches and throwing it at him…
Tej gets scared.
Tapasya repeats his words and says, you’ve always found weak women so far… today you stand here and watch a woman become Durga… Tej tries running away…
Tapasya says, why are you running away like a coward now? The fear I see in your eyes is my victory… she asks him to get out of the room.
Tej runs downstairs in a hurry and falls down the last couple of steps on Gunwanti’s feet.
Gunwanti looks up and says, Tej Singh Bundela… on his sister-in-law’s feet?? What I couldn’t do, someone else did!
Tej stares at her… Gunwanti leaves him standing there.
Nani reading a newspaper… Divya asks her what she’s looking for?
Divya gives a promo for the Colors Golden Petal Awards.
Nani says, we will celebrate our new year with Colors… but I wasn’t looking for that…
Can you tell me and find where the matrimonials are?
Divya opens the page and hands it back to Nani.
Nani reads through them and finds the Thakur category…
Divya says, who’s getting married in the Thakur family?
Nani says, Mukta.
Divya says, who gave this ad?
Nani says, I did it.
Divya reads the ad… we want a diamond for our girl.
Divya says, what is this mausiji?
Nani says, what else could I do? Everyone is busy in that makkhi’s marriage… no one cares about my Mukta. Mukta is older than that Makkhi… how can she get married before Mukta?
Divya says, Mausiji, you know Thakur sahab doesn’t like these things… and then we have to ask Raghuvendra as well.
Nani says, they can say what they have to say. I did what I had to do! Now you just wait and see what great proposal will come for Mukta.
Damini comes at that point with tea.
Divya says, Mukta is a new generation girl… we have to keep her choices in mind.
Nani says, since when do kids take these decisions?
Damini interrupts and says, Mataji is right… marriage is made in heaven, but we have to try for ourselves too. Maybe with this ad, Mukta gets a really nice boy – just like our Vishnu. Who knew that someone working in a temple would become our Meethi’s life partner?
Nani says, who has ever believed what I said in this house!
Damini serves them tea.
Tapasya comes to Veer’s room and asks him how he’s doing?
Veer says, no… I don’t understand anything. My memory is playing hide-and-seek with me…
I remember Icha’s name.. and remember everything that Mai told me about her.
Tapasya says, all that is a lie.
Veer says, who should I believe? Who’s saying the truth and who’s lying? I can’t remember Icha’s face. How can I look for her with this mind… where can I look for her?
Tapasya says, stay calm Veer. Don’t lose hope. My papa used to tell me, at the right time, destiny arrives to make things right.
That right time is not too far away. I promise that I will find out for sure what happens to your memory again and again.
(Milk glass shown in the background).
Tapasya says, I went to see your doctor. He hasn’t prescribed any medicine that may make you lose your memory… in fact, those medicines have nothing to do with your loss of memory.
Veer says, why are you doing all this for me?
Tapasya says, you asked me the same question that day (when they met outside). You should rest.
Amla brings some pickle for Mai and asks her to taste it.
Mai tastes it and says, it’s okay… salt is okay, pepper is not…
Amla says we have to buy lots of groceries. If you come with me, I can tell what all needs to be bought and how… then from next time I can do it for you.
Gunwanti sees Tapasya coming out Veer’s room. She thinks, Tapasya went to meet Veer again? I will have to do something about it.
She tells Amla, why don’t you ask your ‘saheli’ Tapasya to teach you all that? She can easily teach you everything you need to learn.
Gunwanti gets up and walks away.
Tapasya comes down the steps and tastes the pickle.
She says it’s yummy.
Amla feels happy… she says, Mai didn’t like it much.
Amla says, you’re really good. Can you come with me for shopping? I have to buy groceries and I would like to go with you.
Tapasya says, I would love to come with you, but not today. I have to go meet my daughter today, but I promise I will take you tomorrow.
Mai is listening and says, Tapasya is going to meet her daughter today?
Tapasya is leaving when Mai stops her.
Mai asks Amla to tell her that the car she’s been using until today is our car… this is the key for her husband’s car.
Amla takes the keys to Tapasya.
Tapasya says at least you admitted that I have half share in this house. Now gradually you’ll give me the rest of my rights back too.
As far as the car goes, my pati parmeshwar is about to buy me a helicopter. Will you give me space to land it on your roof?
Gunwanti says, why? Wouldn’t your share of the roof be able to land your helicopter?
Tapasya laughs and Gunwanti gives her a disgusted look and leaves.
Tapasya asks Amla to look after herself and goes out of the house.
She starts the car and leaves… Tej was sitting under the card… he feels very happy.
