Gangaa turns to Shiv and clarifies she would leave this house after a month. Shiv stops Riya from going behind her, he requests his family not to force Gangaa. They hear a clatter in the room and stops his family from going there. Gangaa throws her items, bangles and other luggage off the cupboard and says these doesn’t belong to her!
Shiv picks her favourite bangles from the floor and asks what she lost? Gangaa turns around and asks him for a white saree. She comes to him and clarifies she wants to be Sagar’s widow, how can he snatch away this right from her? Shiv recalls Sagar’s last wish that Gangaa always be a bride. He tells Gangaa she is the daughter-in-law of this house, it’s difficult for her to forget whatever happened but they can begin new relations. Gangaa interrupts saying she doesn’t wish to join any new relations. She denies staying in the room and brings her bag outside, she announces she would stay in this yard for one month. She is doing whatever she considers right. She cries sitting there on the floor.
In the evening, Shiv thinks everything has changed. He smiles recalling his times with Gangaa. Kushal comes to speak to Shiv that Gangaa considers him as Sagar’s culprit. He must share with Gangaa about Sagar’s promise. Shiv forbids Kushal to share this with Gangaa. Kushal says she would always hold him a culprit. Shiv says Gangaa has self-respect, she would be burdened and broken if she finds out about Sagar’s promise. Shiv says he didn’t understand himself as much as he understands Gangaa. It is time that would heal Gangaa’s wounds, he will try to bring her back to life. Kushal wonders till when he would bear her anger, Shiv says until she makes up with him.
Gangaa cries thinking about her childhood with Sagar. Shiv sat in the other room. The nanny brings food for Gangaa and requests her to eat a little. Gangaa cries denying to eat. The nanny places the foot plate and leave. Shiv sat with Gangaa’s bangles in hand. Gangaa thinks about Sagar and cries.
Kushal comes to Shiv to inform him about all the arrangements for tomorrow. He asks Shiv to come home, but Shiv was still in the Math (hermitage). Shiv wish what he wants to do tomorrow must happen well.
Shiv returns home to find Gangaa sleeping with her head on The grain bags. He covers her with a shawl.
Gangaa wakes up the next morning and finds herself covered in the shawl. She tells the nanny to take the tea. The nanny says Shiv made this tea for her, and says it’s for her health. Shiv comes in with the bucket of water. Gangaa comes to forbid him from bringing tea and biscuit for her again, she doesn’t accept this! It suffocates her that he filled her hairline with Vermillion. She asks why he went against her will and if he really cared for her? Shiv brings the plate of tea and biscuit for Gangaa and requests her to eat this, later, they need to go somewhere as well. Gangaa throw the plate on the floor denying to go with him. Shiv holds her hand and drags her to the car, and tells nanny to get some fruits to the car. She would eat if she is hungry on the way. He carries Gangaa to the car in spite of her resistance and ties her hands. Riya and Kushal comes to inform Shiv it’s done, and hurries inside. Jhumki and Savitri were skeptic.
Shiv brings Gangaa to a temple and hands her a bag. Gangaa opens the bag to find Sagar’s ashes. She cries holding the pot.
Shiv was hurt watching Gangaa cry holding the pot of ash close to her heart. She walks to Shiv and thanks him for this respect, she would always remember this. But he must not try to fill colours in her life, he shouldn’t tie her into a bond against her will. She requests him to let her go. Shiv tells her to go and do what’s more important right now. Gangaa says he has proven today he is good at heart, then why is he doing this to her? Shiv tells her to go and do the rituals first.
At home, Kushal leaves as they watch Gangaa making her beddings. Shiv tells Gangaa to go to guest room as he has already made the arrangements for her. Gangaa asks if he would enforce her to stay where she must? She joins her hands for him not to worry about her and lay there in the open yard. Shiv leaves. She feels some smoke filling the yard. Shiv comes to Kushal on the other side of the yard and burn the coal in a pot to create more smoke. Gangaa calls the nanny and asks her about the smoke. Shiv cleans the area and walks away.
Upstairs, Kushal had understood he created all that smoke not for mosquitoes, but for Gangaa to move to the room. Jhumki heard this all and runs away as she watches Gangaa coming upstairs. Jhumki cheers about getting a chance to do something. She comes to Gangaa with water and says Shiv sent it. Gangaa denies taking it. Jhumki says Shiv didn’t want her to stay in the yard, he spread the smoke there and sent her upstairs. She says Shiv has brought her home as his bride, now, he would win her over her within one month. Gangaa forbids Jhumki to use her brains, she never wants anything better for Shiv. She shouldn’t push her against Shiv! Jhumki tells her to come with her near the window, downstairs Shiv was walking with the coal pot. Jhumki says Gangaa is quite sensible herself and leaves her thoughtful.
Shiv lay on the floor in the room and miss Gangaa on the other side. Gangaa opens the door and stood there. Shiv asks what happened? Gangaa asks if he really trust this marriage? She asks what he wants from her? Shiv replies he only wants to see Gangaa happy and be by her side always. He wants to fulfil all of her wish and need. Gangaa demands him to do what he is saying. She removes her wedding necklace and says it’s her and Sagar’s wedding necklace. It holds three stones of Shiv’s name. In next seven days, if he comes up to all of her, given testimonies, she would wear this with seven stones, but if he fails, he must free her from this bond forever. Shiv holds the wedding necklace accepting the challenge.
The next morning, Shiv was praying in the yard. Gangaa takes Sagar’s photo from her suitcase and speaks to it, Gangaa belongs to Sagar and no one can snatch her right of being his widow. She takes a white saree and considers it a reality of her life. Shiv prays for the strength to fulfil his promise with Sagar. He would fill Gangaa’s life with love, colours and happiness. There, Gangaa says she would fight the one who tries to fill her life with colours. Today begins the fight between her and Shiv and until she wins, her tears, her pain and this white saree is his.
Everyone in the hall hear Gangaa selling her sarees on a stall calling about a sale. Shiv also comes out and was shocked to see Gangaa calling customers. Jhumki enjoys the new drama. Savitri curtly says Gangaa is wearing such modern saree in this village. Gangaa comes to correct Savitri it’s not wrong to be modern, she always wear such clothes; they put her in their colours only because she didn’t remember anything.
