Sheetal was in the kitchen and was drinking water with tears in her eyes. Shyam held her elbow. She jerked and some water fell on her face and her front hair. Shyam locks the hair behind her ears. They have an eyelock.

Sheetal: Why are you here? Go to your wife. She needs you.

Shyam: She is like this only. This is not a new thing. She is crying over a spoilt milk which was done by her ages ago.

Sheetal: What?

Shyam tells Sheetal about her broken marriage.

Sheetal: Then how did you both get married?

Shyam had a sad face and said it all. Sheetal was shocked.

Sheetal: Why did she then break the other wedding?

Shyam looks on. Should he tell her or not? This secret is known only to Raj, him and Anjali herself.

Sheetal: If you don't wanna tell me then it is fine.

She was about to go when Shyam held her hand to stop. She jerked. He checks here and there to know if anyone is watching them or not.

Shyam: Rani Sahiba broke her marriage for mere care!!!

Sheetal was shocked.

Shyam: Yes. She broke her marriage so that she could gain sympathy from her family members. Sasuma (Mamiji) wasn't this close to Anjali before because she doesn't like a girl child that much. But after her broken marriage, she became possessive of her. Anjali knew that with her broken marriage , she could gain care and other stuff. Arnav who was already pampering her, pampered her even more. She wanted this care. She wanted to stay in RM forever. She didn't want to go anywhere and that's why she married me as well.

Sheetal was even more shocked.

Sheetal: But I was told that Anjali and yours was a love marriage.

Shyam(disagreeing): Hmm..she was so keen on getting married to me because she wanted to stay in this house. Naniji also threatened me. But she never knew that Anjali chose me not because of love but for her own reason.

Sheetal was shocked and was really unhappy with Naniji. The thought of her made her feel disgusting.

Sheetal : Do you love her?

Shyam: : No!

Shyam was about to leave but then turns back and says:

Shyam: Anjali doesn't need me. You need me.

Sheetal unknowingly blushed.

Khushi was going to the east side of the forest walking alone. Unknown to her, Arnav was also following her for her safety. Khushi while travelling had her dress torn as it got stuck. Arnav saw this and gulped. He had already seen her though but at that time it was lust. But at this time it was love.

She went to the riverside where the water was coming from the waterfall of the mountain. She senses that she was being watched. She viewed the mountain staring upwards and saw a figure going back from the hill upside. Some of the tribal people were washing their clothes. All the tribal women saw her for a minute and then continued their work.

Khushi washed her face with water. The view out there was magnificent. It was calm and soothing.

Suddenly out of nowhere came an old tribal woman to her and started saying..

Old woman: Akola....akola...hari jaani.

Khushi was puzzled.

The old woman saw her with yearning and tears in her eyes. She starts hugging her. Arnav who was watching her came to her rescue.
