Downstairs, all are having dinner, while lajo eyes granny amusingly, who fumes looking at her. revathy serves them all, while noticing that sunder is trying to signal lajo to come and eat as he feeds her. She is amused and gets an idea, and then tells granny that this is sunder and lajo’s first karvachauth, and she was thinking if she could give lajo the same bangles, that she received from her, when she got married. Shakuntala hears this, while making rotis, and commwents that when they dont consider this a marriage, then why the karvachauth. granny tells that for the first time, she has talked sense. Granny reminds revathy that lajo has been given a place to stay till her wounds dont heal, and hence karvachauth isnt needed. revathy asks her to think that lajo has married sunder. granny asks kishori to see that she shall tell now whats to be done and not. He reprimands his wife, that granny’s decision stands final, and there’s no use questioning it, and asks them all to proceed with the dinner. revathy is tensed as she goes in. Sunder calls lajo, to eat, while she hesitates. He asks for her curtly, while all are surprised. She sits beside him, while he feeds her himself, but she looks first at the elder members. he nudges her to eat and then she complies. kishori reminds him that here males are fed by females, and not the other way round. he says that her hands are wounded and she has become weak. granny tells him that she has infact become strong, by staying here. Sunder doesnt pay heed and gets to feeding again. An inwsistent doorknock alarms and startles everyone. kishori asks chaman to open the door and he complies. they are surprised to see the Munim, Roshan lal, who comes and greets them, apologising for this unannounced arrival so late at night. kishori welcomes him and asks revathy to set a plate for him too. she hurriedly complies. He denies and says that he is in a hurry as he is leaving for jalandhar with his family, as he has sold his house and family. kishori is shocked to know that he too is leaving lahore. He says that there’s no other option left, as he is always scared as he walks on the road, and now its imminent that lahore shall be a part of pakistant. he suggests the same to them too. shakunatala says that its advisable and right to be leaving, but people dont understand, hinting at them only. granny fumes and lashes at her. seh then explain roshan lal, that he wont be at peace anywhere else, and they shall never leave. He then requests kishori, that he wants to keep this money safe with him, and when the troubled times pass, he shall come back and take it. kishori asks him not to worry as when he returns, he shall hand it to him. he asks chamna to keep it in the safe. Roshan leaves, after chaman takes the bag. Kishori asks chaman to give it to granny, and asks her to keep it in the safe. she takes the bag and eyes it. Shakuntala too has greedy eyes on it.
In her room, granny places the bag safely in the safe. as she eyes her jewellery, she gets an idea, and wears them all, lost in the thoughts of her late husband, romancing her in her imaginations. she starts revisiting her memories of him with the jewellery, commenting on the way her husband used to admire her beauty and grace. she is surprised to see lajo standing in front of her, who callously comments at the sadistic pleasure that she gets out of separating them, and teases her. granny asks what she wants this late at night, and says that she knows she is eyeing her jewellery. lajo asks her to stop insinuating, as they are for her only.
While granny is dressed in all of the jewellery, late in the night, in her room, lajo hovers around her. granny asks lajo what does she need now. lajo says that she needs her blessing, for the sdargi, the karvachauth and then the reopening of the shop and asks her to let her fast and be hungry and stay thirsty all day long. granny listens intently. Lajo continues and asks for the permission to perform all the rituals of karvachauth. granny is surprised and angry too to hear this. she says that she doesnt need anything for herself, but for sunde. the screen freezes on granny’s tensed face.
THE QUESTION REMAINS WHETHER LAJO’S INNOCENCE SHALL MELT GRANNY’S HEART AND IF SHE SHALL GET THE PERMISSION AND GRANNY’S BLESSINGS TO GO AHEAD WITH THE RITUALS OF THE KARVACHAUTH. WHAT SHALL SHE DO TO AND WHAT LENGTHS WOULD SHE GO TO KEEP HER FIRST FAST?
Precap: Sunder romances lajo saying that the fault is not his wife’s that the button broke off, but the button’s that it did, thats causing him to take advantage of the situation. lajo smiles and shys, as he emboldens in his statements and gestures. He asks her if she doesnt resent, then could he do the honours, and would she want to experience that. he caresses her, as he touches her, while getting physically intimate with her and romancing her, she tingles with excitement and love, as a shiver runs down her spine, at his slightest touch.
