Niru feels dizzy as he steps in his room. He drops a few things while he tries to gain balance. He falls down on the floor holding his chest. Madhvi and Amma ji comes running there. They call out for Maharaj ji.
Sagar comes to the ashram with the affidavit. Sudha shows him the paper she found. He goes quiet when he senses Gangaa’s presence. Gangaa comes wearing a colourful saree. Sagar looks at her mesmerised. Sudha reminds Sagar of the papers. Gangaa smiles. He tries not to look at Gangaa. He speaks of going to court and of arranging tickets for Delhi. I want to take Gangaa to Delhi with me. I have a friend there who will arrange for our stay. Gangaa speaks of his family, but he does not want to stay where no one respects her. I always listen to you. You will have to listen to me today. He tells Sudha to bring Gangaa to court when he calls her. Sudha agrees. Sagar tells Gangaa to come on time. She nods. He compliments Gangaa. You look very beautiful, completely different. Sudha and Gangaa smile. Sagar leaves.
Sudha tells Gangaa to pack her bags. You won’t get time later. Gangaa has nothing except Sagar. Sudha asks her if she really has nothing other than some bitter memories? Gangaa has lot many good and sweet memories of everyone and of her Bappa. Gangaa realises she left all of her Bappa’s memories in that house. I left my cycle, bangles, jewellery, saree (all given by Bappa), everything in that trunk. They are very valuable to me. I have to bring them from there. Sudha tells her against it. Don’t go without telling Sagar. Gangaa stays put. Bappa left me. I have only his memories now.
Sudha shouts after Gangaa as she runs out. Don’t delay. You will have to leave for court as soon as Sagar calls.
Sagar is outside the court, waiting for the affidavit to be ready. Raghav ji sees him there. The lawyer asks Sagar for his wife’s name? Sagar takes Gangaa’s name. Raghav ji asks him if he wants to make a joke of his family before the town now? A drama has already happened at home before the family and relatives. Sagar says it has already happened. The relatives now know what Papa has done. How does it matter now, if the town also gets to know? He gets the affidavit. Raghav ji tells him to think again. Everyone knows Niru in Banaras. Sagar shares that this is the very reason he is leaving Banaras with Gangaa tonight.
The Doctor says Niru’s BP got low. He wants to go to court, but Amma ji and Madhvi tell him against it. The Doctor tells them to make sure he is not worried about anything. It will anyways not happen as you have a happy family. Niru nods sadly. The Doctor leaves. Prabha and Ratan comes just then. They speak of the kids going against their parents and being responsible for Niru’s condition.
Amma ji asks Prabha not to speak negatively. She goes outside. Prabha says I am sure Sagar will get back on track. All this has happened because of Gangaa. Wish her bad shadow had not fallen on this house!
Gangaa comes to the Chaturvedi house. She is shocked to see the rope dividing the house in two parts. Maharaj ji notices her from her back views and thinks of her as a stranger. He is happy to see her wearing a colourful saree as she turns. She asks about the rope and mark on the floor? Maharaj tells her about Pulkit asking for his share in Sir’s property. She is shocked. The house got divided? I have no right to say anything. Everyone has fallen apart. Only you can handle things. He says I didn’t handle anything since you came. It is only you who can handle things by coming back. She says I have come to go. He is sad to think both the boys will go their separate ways. She too wished all her dreams come true, but not all dreams can come true. Everyone will be pained if I stay here, so I won’t. I just need my stuff. I will collect it and come.
Gangaa comes to Amma ji’s room. She thinks of her journey till date. She walks up to the trunk. Amma ji comes there just then. She is shocked to see Gangaa wearing a colourful saree. Gangaa says I only came to pick up my stuff. She prays in the temple. She bends down to seek Amma ji’s blessings, but she moves aside. Gangaa touches her shoes instead. She picks up her trunk tearfully. Amma ji stands there all quiet. Gangaa looks at the house sadly. She takes Maharaj ji’s blessings and looks at the family photos on the wall. Maharaj ji asks her if she won’t meet Sir and Madhvi? She says I saw my parents in them, but when they gave that relation of love the name of pity, then I have no right to go before them. I will leave now.
Niru refuses to take medicines. Raghav ji tells Niru that Sagar is leaving town forever. He is marrying Gangaa in court after which he will leave for Delhi with Gangaa. This all happened before a few relatives on Holi, but if Sagar registers this marriage, that too in your absence, then the news will spread like wildfire. I see only two options. You can either make Sagar understand or accept the couple. Niru gets angry. You should have told him. Raghav ji reasons that he has no right over Sagar. It is only you who can do something about it. Niru thinks of all what had happened at the house recently. Niru starts breathing heavily. Madhvi rushes out calling for Amma ji and Maharaj ji. Gangaa hears them. She drops the trunk in shock.
Raghav ji goes to bring the Doctor. Niru is unconscious. Downstairs, Gangaa thinks of how she lost her Bappa. She shouts Bappa and rushes upstairs. She tries to shake Niru all this while calling him Bappa. I won’t let anything happen to you. She massages his feet and hands. Amma ji pulls her away. I don’t even want your shadow to fall on my son. Madhvi, Raghav ji and Maharaj ji comes there with the Doctor. The Doctor checks Niru. Gangaa looks on stunned.
The Doctor checks Niru’s BP. Gangaa stands by the wall and looks on. Raghav ji goes to bring injection. Gangaa thinks of how Niru saved her; how he fought with everyone, every situation just to keep her at every point of life; how he took care of her and of his harsh words now. Amma ji asks the Doctor about Niru? The Doctor takes everyone outside. Gangaa walks up to Niru and caresses his face. She holds her Sir’s hand addressing him thus. Niru opens his eyes. She asks him if he is fine? He withdraws his hand and looks away. She is taken aback to see his hatred towards her. He asks her why she did this to him! Why did you snatch my Sagar away from me? She says am I snatching him. Niru requests Gangaa to return his son to him. Have mercy on me. She looks at his folded hands in shock.
Niru folds his hands before Gangaa. Return my son to me. He is my life. Return me my life, my son. Have pity on me. She is taken aback by his words and thinks of how he spoke of pitying her a few days ago. You pitied me once by bringing a poor Orphan girl in your home. Today, the same girl will pity you. Keep your Sagar with you. If you can bring him here, then do it! I won’t stop you. Niru looks at her stunned. He notices Sagar standing by the door. Gangaa turns to look at Sagar.
Gangaa thinks hope you understand why I said so. Do you understand my pain? Do you understand the insult I had to bear? Sagar sits down next to Niru. Niru says you were leaving me and all of us behind. Sagar shakes his head. I am sorry papa. I was making a very big mistake by leaving you for a girl like Gangaa. I am sorry.
Gangaa looks at him in shock. Sagar refuses to leave his father’s side. Madhvi hugs him. Amma ji is also happy and relieved. Gangaa walks out of the room in trance. Raghav ji and Maharaj ji see her leaving.
Sagar’s words echoes in Gangaa’s ears. Maharaj ji comes there. Maharaj ji asks her what she did? You burnt your dreams with your own hands? She declines. Sagar said it just like that, just like I said it in ager and pain. Sagar understands me very well. He understands everything. Why won’t he? He knows me since childhood. He will understand the meaning behind my words. Sir also said that he pitied me. Sagar asks her if this is the revenge that she is taking from his father? Maharaj ji leaves from there. You want to take revenge from Mummy, Amma ji, this house and everyone? Dadi has taunted you so much. My parents couldn’t take your Bappa’s place. What am I to you? A pawn! You used me for your revenge, right? You were right. I didn’t understand you till date, but I understood everything today. She follows him downstairs trying to make him listen to her. She stops him. Truth is you never understood me and do not understand me today as well. I will take revenge from these people? I will use the one I love so much? He pushes her hand away. Do you even know what love is? You don’t know what love is. Love does not look at anyone. It is the fire which cannot be burnt down by anyone. I loved you, but you? I left everyone and everything behind as I wanted you. You cheated me instead. You gave me up in donation without asking me! She tries to talk to him, but he’s angry. Open your eyes. Closing your eyes won’t change the truth. Open your eyes. Say it to me. Say it that it was all a sham. I played a game with you. You are a fool to not see my truth. You danced to my tunes since childhood. You were doing the same today. Sagar Chaturvedi is a fool. He fell and lost in this emotional drama of vermilion. She tells him to stop it. Enough! This is the biggest truth of my life. I lived my years only with this love. You are wrong. This so called game started the day I came in this house. I used to do everything as per your wish. I used to feel the pain when you got hurt. Your tears used to fall from my eyes. This vermilion was just an excuse. The truth is I had accepted you as mine since childhood. Your name is written in every beat of my life. Destiny is playing a game with me which is why you are saying this to me. He says why not say it? You taught me to love. Today you taught me how to pine for someone. Why did you do this to me? She says I thought you loved me a lot. You didn’t understand me back then and today too. My self-respect! He nods. How could I forget it? It is famous in entire Banaras. Everyone speaks of this. All her life, Gangaa gets beaten by Aunt Sudha, and hears Amma ji’s scolding’s, but she sacrificed her love today for her self-respect! You are simply great! I am saying the truth. Your self-respect is everything to you. I stand nowhere. You told me your choice very clearly today. You did the right thing. I can see you clearly now. You call me selfish but no, it is you who is selfish! You gave up your life for your stubbornness, your arrogance! You think you saved your self-respect by doing so? Maybe yes, but you lost Sagar forever. She is shocked. He again pushes her hands away. Don’t touch me! He walks away. She runs after him.
