Sanchi, seeing anandi is as usual upset. Shiv too arrives and is asked to join at the breakfast table. There, mahi tries to discuss the location of the picnic. but shiv changes the topic and talks to anandi instead that he has misplaced a file in the room and leaves, beckoning her to follow him, to help search the file.

Underlying Message: The past always seems to creep up in the present of a woman. Therefore, even after remarriage, she is not completely ready for her intimate submission to her husband.

He resigns and starts attending to her burns. She squirms at his touch and he looks up to find her gagged so that she’s unable to speak. He is shocked to see this.
