Balika Vadhu 28th December 2012 Written Update

Scene 1:
Location: Jaitsar haveli
While working in the kitchen, sumitra is being very careless and drops utensils on the floor. Gehna asks her what happened. Sumitra hesitatingly tells Gehna that she had a bad premonition that she had given away jagiya’s dearest toy to shiv and that jagiya is crying. She is surprised that such a thought came when anandi is starting her new life and that the goddess wont ever forget her for being so selfish in her thoughts. gehna pacifies her saying that she is liable to feel since jagiya is her son and that relation can never change. Suymitra argues that she’s anandi’s mother too and hence she insulted her relation with her by thinking like that for jagiya. Gehna tries to explain to her that she shouldnt think like that as what she has done for anandi, not even real parents are able to do. But she is still unconvinced and says that it could mean only one thing that she loves jagiya more than she does anandi and that she’s selfish in her love for jagiya and all that she says she feels for anandi is a sham. Gehna asks her to look into herself and her heart would give her the answers. Even anandi would say the same if she asked her. The mistake was jagiya’s because of which anandi who had developed a deep relation with this house, had to start a new life over leaving the haveli. She reminds sumitra of the time when she had vehemently said no to marriage proposal by dadisa. she insists that they did send a daughter and not a daughter in law from this haveli. Sumitra too realises that she shouldnt be so harsh on herself. And that she should be happy that anandi is moving on away from her painful past.

Both have a slightly awkward moment. she goes to pick them up, but is topped by shiv saying that every person dreams of their first marital night. and he wont lie saying that he didnt have dreams. He says that he did, but they were not fulfilled due to tiredness, alrams, time restraint and then finally her dozing off to sleep. But he says that he plans to fulfill those dreams tonight with her and that he would spend his entire day in anticipation for tonight. their second night together would in fact be their first. all the while, anandi is extremely shy and nervous and conscious of her proximity to shiv.
