SATURDAY UPDATE ON GANGAA S2, 23RD OF MARCH 2019

Sagar is on the road driving the Car, while Amma ji and Ragini are fast asleep, Gangaa sits tensedly staring out of the car, blankly. He notices everyone else asleep, and then places his hand on hers, and she is petrified. He asks what’s the matter? She says that this isn’t right, with them in the car. He says that this isn’t wrong, as they are going to be a Couple soon. She says that they aren’t one yet. He stoically turns tensed and says fine! She is amused at his anger, and says that he is very cute when he’s angry😠. then she stealthily places her hand on his, and he smiles, as he takes her hand in his. They both smile at each other lovingly while he takes her hand and kisses it. Amma ji asks for water in her sleep? Gangaa finds that the water is empty. Amma ji complains of thirst, and they
drop at a roadside restaurant. Amma ji is reluctant to sit there, but sagar assures her that it’s fine. Ragini is excited and says that when Rudra comes, she would make him meet all of them. Sagar makes Amma ji agree to have food, as they might not have food for a long time now, but she says that she has no faith on the sanctity of these people. Gangaa then suggests that if not food, Amma ji can at least have milk. Amma ji complies.
Sagar enquires from the restaurant owner, and finds that it’s at a distance. Gangaa asks him to get it, or else Amma ji won’t have anything, till the entire way. Sagar is reluctant, but she makes him agree. Then Ragini rushes to him, saying that she should also go, clinging to him. Gangaa tries to take her away, but she doesn’t comply. Amma ji reprimands and asks her to stay back! Sagar leaves in the car. It starts raining, and they take shelter in the restaurant. Amma ji goes to the wahsroom. Gangaa and Ragini take their seats in the restaurant.
Prabha is secretly gorging away on snacks, she gets Amma ji’s call, and asks when would they be returning? Amma ji says they should reach home by evening. Amma ji then asks about Madhvi, and prabha says that she must be in the kitchen. Amma ji asks her to inform them that Rudra would also be coming to get Ragini, and that she should keep the bag ready. Prabha is inquisitive as to what’s in it? Amma ji asks her to stick to the work she was intructed to do and not meddle. Prabha complies, but She’s still tensed as to what Amma ji is up to?
As Gangaa and Ragini wait, others that has leeringly had hard drinks, eye them, ganga is tensed and upset. Then a bar song plays on, and innocently, Ragini starts dancing, despite the Gang’s attempts in trying to stop her. The men are amused, and join in, casting lewd comments and leering signals, at both of them. The restaurant owner tells them to back off! But the Men continue to hover on, while Gangaa screams for Amma ji. She rushes in and tries to separate the guys, but they push her off. Just then, a jeep halts, and someone gets inside and beats the goons to a pulp. He identifies himself, as Rudra, Ragini’s sister, and while the main goon apologises profusely, he makes Ragini slaps him so hard, and then when he asks Gangaa to do the same, she refuses, citing it against her principle. The goons rush away.
Sagar meanwhile returns, and finds them tensed. He asks what’s the matter? They narrate it to him, while he is aghast. Amma ji is tensed. Ragini’s brother and Gangaa get into a tussle as to how they have a difference of opinion in the treatment of goons. Rudra comments that she is as headstrong as he last witnessed her. Sagar recognises Rudra, and they both greet each other. Gangaa lashes at Rudra for been so angry at the goons! He says that what he did was right. He asks ragini to come along to home now. She says that she would only stay with Gangaa and Sagar, and becomes rigid. Amma ji shushes her down, and asks Rudra to come along too. Sagar invites him back home too and he silently complies. Ragini is super ecstatic. Ragini says that she would go in Sagar’s car. But Gangaa too should come. Amma ji says that she should come in their car. Ragini silently complies.
Sagar and Gangaa are amused, discussing how good it would be to have Rudra and Ragini with them. She remembers Santoshi’s warning, and gets tensed. He asks what’s the matter that silenced her? She talks about Ragini’s attachment to him, and finds her very possessive about him, and comes instantly when she finds her talking to him. He pulls the car abruptly to a halt, and smiles at her, asking if she is jealous? She vehemently denies it. But he continues to tease her, by smelling her and says that she is actually jealous! She gets emotional, while he asks why she’s crying? While denying it, she actually breaks down into sobs. He says that he was merely teasing her, and asks her not to get serious. He then cups her face, asking if she is serious, as she (Ragini) is a child, and doesn’t even understand what love is? Sagar tells that she has changed just as Rudra has said. But Gangaa says that she never cries, but the recent happenings make it seem otherwise, and says that she can’t afford to lose him yet again. He says that’s not possible at all. He then tells Gangaa that just like the tears reside in her eyes, he shall reside forever there too. He picks up a tear and cups her face, showing it to her. She smiles through her tears, while he says that Sagar is very adamant and won’t go anywhere, and asks her to forever keep him in her eyes. She wipes her tears, as he kisses her on her forehead. She smiles at him.
Sagar again teases her that she was looking incredibly cute when she was jealous.
Finally, they arrive back at home 🏠.
Niranjan welcomes them all back, and especially Rudra, who he heartily invites. He asks the purpose of Rudra’s visit? He says that there is an elaborate prayer, and hence planned it now, and he brought Ragini too, so she could enjoy with Sagar and Gangaa.
Supriya asks where is the happy Couple? Meanwhile, Sagar and Gangaa too arrive, and they are about to step in, when Amma ji stops them at the doorstep. All are tensed. She asks them to keep standing there till she returns back. she leaves. They’re all tensed. Prabha asks Gangaa what she did, that they were stopped at the
door? Amma ji comes with a prayer tray, and does their prayer, while all are pleasantly surprised, and Gangaa and Sagar are flushing with happiness.
Amma ji then takes their hands. Amma ji gathers the family together and informs them that she wishes to get Gangaa and Sagar married, as she wouldn’t bear them hiding and having their secret love moments. They are overjoyed, while Ragini is tensed. Amma ji says that they should find a suitable time and get them married. Amma ji asks them to be sent back to her room, after everyone is done with congratulating them. She leaves.
Amma ji gives her the box of jewelleries, while Gangaa is shocked. all are pleased. Gangaa asks how is this possible, as they were lent to the money lender? The other widow says that Amma ji never gave it to the moneylender, and she just took it from her, and gave it to her to keep them safely, as she couldn’t possibly give them away. Gangaa gets emotional, but Amma ji cuts her short, saying that she did what she had to, and then asks them both to leave! Gangaa rushes to Amma ji to hug her, while Amma ji says that she doesn’t wish to cry. She asks them both to leave. They both get overwhelmed, and Sagar takes her out.
Prabha hears this and gets shocked, and comes in after they leave. She expresses in shock to Amma ji, that it’s a great sin that she’s about to commit, as Gangaa is a widow! Amma ji says that she was a widow, and isn’t anymore, but now, she should be a wife, as she was seven years Old when her husband died, and that she has been carrying the burden unnecessarily, and she faced all the humiliation, but not anymore. She says that now, Gangaa and Sagar will marry, and if that doesn’t happen, that would be a crime. Prabha complies, saying that she being the eldest, would have taken the right decision. the widow leaves too.
Amma ji finds Niranjan in the doorway, who had heard everything. he comes in and sits down beside her, saying that he still can’t believe, that of all people, she is the one who agreed to it, and he is mixed with emotions, as he doesn’t know what to feel. She says what happened in the past few months has forced her to do this, and that Gangaa loves him, and he too is intensely attached to Gangaa, and it’s natural for them to get married. She talks about how Gangaa has always stood as a shield for Sagar, even after the way they disrespected and mistreated her, but she kept on being with Sagar and wishing for his well being, unfazed by what they put her through. Amma ji says that she understood, but always ignored it, and says that finally now, she tried to take the right path. She says that therefore, Gangaa should be the rightful Daughter-in-law for their house, who would bring back happiness in their family, hopefully no one casts an evil eye on them. He smiles and complies too.
Later, in her room, Sagar dones the necklace around Gangaa, who is very ecstatic to see it. Ragini hurriedly rushes in, and expresses her desire to play, but Gangaa says that she needs to go down for dinner, while Sagar pretends to be scared. Gangaa keeps the necklace back safely. Seeing that Gangaa has a box of jewellery in her hands, Ragini is excited to know about what’s in the bag. Before ganga could talk about her marriage with Sagar, He hastily tells that these are jewelleries for his would be wife. they are called down for dinner. Ragini refuses to eat. They say that they should be back after food. She complies. Sagar and Gangaa rush out for dinner, and then he takes her against the stairs, leaning in intimately, while she is nervous. He asks for a kiss to let her go, while she reluctantly complies, mixed with nervous and shyness as he leans in to kiss her, she turns away shyly. A romantic gaze follows. Their romance is broken off, as they are hollered for dinner. They are amused, as Gangaa rushes away, while Sagar fumes.
After all has dispersed, Ragini tries on the jewellery. Ragini thinks that if it’s for Sagar’s bride, then it’s rightfully hers then. Prabha overhears this from a distance, and She’s amused to find out that Ragini wishes to be Sagar’s bride. She thinks that she got spices just like that and starts thinking as to how now she should use this pawn, to ensure that Gangaa never gets married to Sagar. She smiles evilly.
At the dining table, they discuss sleeping arrangements, and Madhvi says that Ragini can sleep with Gangaa, while Rudra can sleep with Sagar. Rudra is most reluctant, and says that Ragini is used to sleeping with him, and that should continue. Niranjan says their (His Matrimonial) bedroom is big for both of them to sleep, and that him (Niru) and Madhvi would manage the guest room. Rudra asks them to merely put in an extra mattress in the guest room for him and Ragini instead and they would be fine. They try to convince him, that Ragini has grown up and can now stay with others too. Rudra says that’s exactly the reason, that Ragini has grown up, and only he knows what she needs and wants. Madhvi complies to Rudra’s request. Then they get to eating. Sagar serves her icecream, but Rudra doesn’t like it. He gets tensed, while Ragini loves it. Niranjan asks if Ragini has to go for the prayer too? Rudra complies. Prabha eyes her tensedly, and then Gangaa viciously.
Later, in his room, Rudra comes and asks Maharaj for Ragini, and he’s told that she went to see Sagar. He is tensed.
In his room, Sagar is busy playing cards with Ragini, Pulkit, Supriya, and Gangaa. He tries and tease her, by pinching her on the leg. Gangaa gets alarmed, and he is amused, pretending nothing happened. He reminds her of the kiss that’s still pending. Pulkit and Supriya share signals too.
Rudra comes in and finds Ragini playing with Sagar. He refuses to play and asks Ragini to come and sleep, but she insists that she wants to play. He tries to get her to sleep, but she gets on a whim, and pleads with him. Sagar asks him to let her play. But Rudra is insistent, and asks her to come along, and takes her from there, while she isn’t interested. He takes Ragini away. Then Prabha watches them playing and stealthily leaves.
Supriya and Gangaa continue to play with Sagar and Pulkit. Prabha takes her leave. Gangaa finally wins, and she’s excited, while Sagar stands sullen. Gangaa teases him that she has been winning continuously. Sagar and Gangaa find Pulkit and Supriya sharing signals. Pulkit says that they won’t play anymore, while Supriya is eager to play. He forcibly takes her away, leaving behind Gangaa and Sagar alone. She is conscious of their loneliness, and gets awkwardly tensed. He eyes her amused. He shuffles away all the cards, and gets close to her, saying that she found it very amusing, to leave earlier in the afternoon, but where would she go now? He gets in close to her, while she is nervous and shy with excitement. He caresses her face as he pulls away the hair strands from her face. She manages to say that this isn’t right, as she closes her eyes, revelling in the feeling of this. Finally, she jerks him away, abruptly, saying that they should wait till marriage. He cups her face, and comforts her, saying that they love each other, and marriage is a mere formality, that is beneath their love. She says that she isn’t able to participate in it. He says that it’s okay, and that he won’t come close anymore. She tries to calm him down, but he says that he doesn’t wish to know anything. She tries to comfort him, while he says that he will only come when she makes the first move. He gets frustrated and lies on the bed, pulling the blanket on him. She leaves. He looks up and finds her gone, thinking that she didn’t even try to impress him back. He fumes at her.
