Shiv tells Gangaa to buy anything, they are waiting in the shop nearby as, they must drop them later and take the car home. He gets Sagar their best tea in town. Sagar gets a phone call. Shiv watches Gangaa like a pair of bangles but they were very expensive. Sagar joins Shiv who was watching Gangaa do the shopping.
There, Riya comes to Jhumki’s room and look for the file. She finds the file and was upset about Jhumki’s betrayal and false pretending. She thinks Jhumki must be punished for this lie.
After Gangaa had left, Shiv goes to buy the bangles.
Riya comes to Savitri and tells her that Jhumki isn’t pregnant. She is making a fool of them all. Savitri calls Jhumki. She asks if what Riya is saying is right, that she isn’t pregnant? Jhumki looks towards them out of shock, then cries banging her head with the bed. Jhumki demands Riya to bring the report. Riya says she would. Savitri sends her to get the report, and deters Jhumki for being the worst. Riya returns saying she didn’t find the report.
Shiv drops the pack of the bangles and watches a car rolling over the bangles. It hits Shiv but he was able to save the bangles. Sagar comes to take Shiv aside, and asks why he put his life at stake for the sake of bangles? Shiv says Gangaa loved these and it was the last pair. Sagar says he has begun to love Gangaa, he told him no one can take his first wife’s place but Gangaa has already taken Parvati’s place. True relations are very pure, they deepen without one realizing. His Gangaa made friends with Parvati and won her place in his heart, Shiv is not alone anymore. Parvati and Gangaa are both together, and the bangles in his hands are a verdict to it.
Gangaa comes to Shiv and asks to go home. Shiv allows her to take the car, and he would go some other way.
Riya tells Jhumki that her lie won’t turn into a truth. Jhumki thinks she is the principal of the school Riya studies. She recalls having chewed her reports and called the doctor to come home and assure her family she is pregnant. She announces to Savitri and Riya that she is ready to take a testimony but Savitri forbids Jhumki for giving away orders. She leaves the room. Riya asks Jhumki how she could lie so easily? Jhumki wonders why she would take the testimony if she turns out to be a liar?
In the Prayer, Riya thinks Jhumki won’t be able to hide her lie for long. Dai maa (The Caretaker) asks Jhumki what she is holding in hand, Jhumki says its Pratab’s photo. She would pray watching his photo. She comes to Savitri, Savitri says she wants Shiv to reach this Prayer and sit with Gangaa. Gangaa comes to Dai Maa and asks her to inform Shiv it’s important for him to reach the Prayer.
Shiv was sitting in the room in Math remembering Sagar’s words. He agrees to Sagar that Gangaa has gained a place in his life and heart along with Parvati, he didn’t realize when it all happened. Dai Maa stood there, Shiv hides the bangles and calls her inside. She tells Shiv about Gangaa waiting for Prayer. Shiv promises to reach there right away. He gets a call from Yadav and asks if he must come right now?
Savitri instructs all the women to look at their husband’s faces in the water in the tray. The men come inside to stand in front of their wives. Gangaa looks around for Shiv and turns to go outside. Savitri asks Gangaa if she didn’t tell Shiv, Gangaa says she has sent Dai Maa as well but would now go by herself. Savitri says this Prayer is a testimony of the wives, and their husbands must arrive by themselves and a wife can’t go behind him to call him. If Shiv doesn’t reach home, her fast would continue until Shiv arrives. Gangaa says she would wait for Shiv, as Parvati is also fasting along with her today.
Jhumki comes to Savitri and whispers Shiv won’t come so soon, and was sure this fast will suffocate Gangaa’s love story and life both. Shiv can’t prefer anyone over Parvati. Gangaa sits on the floor with her tray and says Shiv must come for her and for Parvati.
Radhika comes to the hall, Jhumki asks her to unveil Pratab’s photo for her to see in the tray. Gangaa was looking Shiv’s way. Jhumki tells Radhika to bring Shiv’s photo to Gangaa, at least, she might break her fast as she might fall unconscious otherwise. Gangaa nods at Radhika assures that it won’t happen.
Sagar comes home then. Kushal welcomes him. Gangaa thinks if it’s Shiv and cheers, waiting to see his shadow in the water. Sagar walks towards Gangaa, Gangaa thinks this fast would be complete only when a wife watches her husband’s shadow in the water. She wish to see Shiv directly, then decides to abide by the ritual. She opens her eyes and watches Shiv in the tray.
Shiv had moved behind Sagar. Sagar moved aside, while Shiv stood in front of Gangaa. Savitri was shocked to see him. Shiv apologizes for being late. Gangaa performs the rituals. Shiv asks why she’s duplicating the rituals? Gangaa says for him, one from Parvati and one from her. Shiv smiles watching her boastfully. He gifts her with the bangles. Gangaa cheers opening the pack, Savitri and Jhumki were curt. Kushal hands Riya an anklet. Kushal asks Shiv to make Gangaa wear the bangles, Jhumki qualifies that Gangaa can wear it by herself. Shiv asks Gangaa for the bangles, he would make her wear them. Sagar gets teary eyed watching this. Shiv says these bangles are best suited in Gangaa’s arms. Muneem ji comes to inform him that he found a girl Sagar illustrated.
Muneem ji says they have found a dead body in Ganga River, it’s distorted but the dress is as Sagar described. Sagar goes to clutch Muneem’s collar shouting how dare he call Gangaa dead, he must have died had Gangaa left the world. Shiv brings Sagar to consciousness. He says it’s important for them to see the body once and takes Sagar and Muneem along.
Gangaa prays for Sagar’s wife. Jhumki hears this and comes to Savitri saying Gangaa has no concern for Shiv and Pratab; but she’s only worried about Sagar’s wife.
Pratab was having tea and pushes a magazine from the table off, the photo of Sagar, Gangaa and Krishna fell off the table. He was shocked to see this. There was a number with address on the back of the photo.
Sagar comes to the room, the Doctors show him Gangaa’s dress. Sagar cries watching the saree and nods towards Shiv, recognizing Gangaa’s dress. He wasn’t ready to accept Gangaa is dead. Shiv asks him to see the body for once. Sagar comes to see the face that had been distorted. He cries aloud saying this isn’t his Gangaa. Shiv was thankful. The Doctor tries to insist the face is unrecognizable as it’s after a long time that they found the body. Shiv takes Sagar outside.
Pratab tells Savitri they have found Sagar’s wife. He says Shiv and Sagar’s Gangaa is the same. Savitri was taken aback. Pratab says they must now see who wins Gangaa, Shiv or Sagar? The day Sagar discovers Shiv’s Gangaa is his; he would drop Shiv’s case and leave. They will take villager’s confidence saying Shiv has kept someone else’s wife as his. Savitri also cheers their problem has been solved. Savitri plans a huge drama about it.
