Charulatha then asks Chandrakanta that she should be quiet and not accuse anyone without strong evidence. A soldier announces that Virendra singh came. He entered and saw Chandrakanta who looked like this....

(Ps : Pls ignore the nose bleed if it seems somewhat strange, actually in the original series the nose bleed comes, so I tried to add it but it seems like it turned in another way

(Ps : Pls ignore the nose bleed if it seems somewhat strange, actually in the original series the nose bleed comes, so I tried to add it but it seems like it turned in another way. She doesn't cry here but I can't find a suitable face to suit the situation she is in.. The original  face expression is the one shown below, just focus on the eye part).

Virendra then turns towards the ladies and says that his soldier found a hobble (rassi) in the park nearby

Virendra then turns towards the ladies and says that his soldier found a hobble (rassi) in the park nearby. If they want to investigate the case, they will need solid evidence and he throws the hobble and says that it's the evidence.

Charulatha asks why he brought junk there when Viru replies that it's not junk and it's a hobble as he said. Sudeshna, Jaganmohini's aunt replies that it's a small matter and Viru shouldn't make it sound so serious. He also asks Princess Jaganmohini's grandmother that if she is not impartial, then he will hear the case in high court.

Virendra once again looks at Chandrakanta and leaves from there. Sudeshna says that it's just a small matter and not to take this matter to the high court and forget it. At night, Chandrakanta informs Siyali that Sugandha was the one who got pinched by her and in order to escape from the situation, she hurt her eyes and they don't pain that much.

Just then Madhurima informs her that her mother Shyamala wants to meet her in the main hall. Chandrakanta being worried asks Siyali to go to her brothers as they are her life savers. Chandrakanta went to the hall, she pretended to be somewhat blind (she can't see clearly) and she greets her mother in the opposite direction so her mother can have some pity on her and leave her.

Balakumaran gets angry that his daughter's face was injured and she can't marry now as her beauty decreased due to the bruises on her face. Shyamala asks her husband not to care only about his own children but to others also. Balakumaran asks her that other's girls face also got bruises and he says alright.

Shyamala replies that Chandrakanta beat the girls in other areas and Balakumaran replies that girls are frail (weak). He also adds that if his daughter's bruises didn't heal he won't let the girls off the hook.

'Kya tum apna bhul (mistake) jaanti ho..?' Shyamala asked Chandrakanta.

'Ha gyaat hai mata aur mai apna galti sweekar karti hu (I admit my mistake).. Aaj ke paschat yadi kisine Sharda ya mujhe tang kiya, ya Wadiyar pariwaar ka apman (insult) ki tho bhi mai kisi ko kuch nahi kahungi.. Yadi koi mere praan bhi le le tab bhi nahi..' Chandrakanta said.

'Mujhe krodh (anger) dilana band karo.. (Stop throwing tantrums at me).. Apne matapita ka adhar (respect) karo..' Shyamala said.

Shyamala then adds that Chandrakanta should ask for Sugandha's forgiveness the next day. Chandrakanta said that she can't see and she will not go there and Sugandha deserved the beating which made Shyamala furious.

She says that she is truly curious to know whether Chandrakanta admits her mistake or not and then she calls the guards but at the same time Chandrakanta's brothers come and fell on Shyamala's feet and asks her to forgive Chandrakanta as she is in pain and she is so weak.

Shyamala asks them to leave and turns towards the other side when Balakumaran signals the brothers to take their sister away while saying that the kids made their mother angry. She turns and sees that everyone left except for Balakumaran.

'Tumne hi tho sab ko jaane ke liye kaha tha na...' Balakumaran said.

'Tho aap kyun nahi gaye..?' Shyamala asks.

'Yadi mai chala jaata tho punah laut ke nahi aa sakta na..' Balakumaran replies and Shyamala leaves.

'Mujhe neeche utaro..' Chandrakanta says and she says that she is fine. The brothers tell her that she isn't fine as their mother will not let her go till she punishes her. Aditya, her twin brother tells her to run, but only 2 out of 10 times, this idea will work.

Sharda comes and says that it's her fault as she lets her guard down. Chandrakanta replies that it's not her fault as she wouldn't do it purposely. Even if she saves someone's life, for her mother, she would definitely think that Chandrakanta is the one to misbehave.

Chandrakanta says that she will take a leave when her brothers say that they will come with her but she says not to as she doesn't want to take spanking on all of their behalf. She leaves but Siyali follows her. It was so cold outside and she was wearing thin clothes.

Balakumaran enters inside and then Shyamala learns that Chandrakanta ran away from home along with Siyali. At first, she cared but Balakumaran asked that she is caring for Tara now. She says that she deserves the cold as a punishment.

Chandrakanta sees a carriage and it was Prithvi Vallabh who asks to get her in and they both get inside.

'Pratit hota hai ki yeh aapki chaal ki badi jeet hai..' Prithvi Vallabh said.

'Kya tatpary (means) hai aapka..?' Chandrakanta asked.

'Prithvi Vallabh, kripya mujh par itne bade apradh (crime) ka aarop mat lagaiye..' Chandrakanta said.

'Dong karna band kijiye.. (Stop pretending)..' Prithvi Vallabh said.

'Maine suna hai ki kumari Sugandha Rajkumari Jaganmohini ka dawat pe nahi jaa saki aur use bahut chot laga hai.. Aur tho aur use fasane ke liye swayam ko is tarah chot pahuncha ne ki avasyaktha nahi thi aapko..' Prithvi Vallabh said remembering the time when he was just beside her and saw her hurting her own eyes.

'Tho kya hua..? Mai usse bhay beet (afraid) nahi hu.. Zyada se zyada bura hua tho mai dusre kulin (noble) gharon mei mehman bankar nahi jaaungi (she meant to say that the worst happens, she will not visit other noble families)..' Chandrakanta said.

Prithvi then says that his mother invites her, he meant to say that the girls from all the noble families to appreciate the beauty of plum blossoms (indirectly shaadi karne ke liye ladki dekhne ke liye ghar bulaya hai)..

'Aap mujhe dekhna tho nahi chahte..?' Chandrakanta asks (uska matlab hai ki shaadi ke liye as a ladki, I mean uski bride ki tarah use dekhna nahi chah raha tha..)

'Kya aap vivah ke vishay mei aarakshit (reserved) hoke baat nahi kar sakti..?' Prithvi Vallabh asks her.

'Mujhe sharmane ki kya avasyakta hai..? Mujhe aapse vivah hi nahi karna..' Chandrakanta said.

'Mujhe bhi aapse vivah nahi karna hai.. Mere hone wali dharm patni ka pramukh (prominent) sthaan hai hamare pariwaar mei.. Vo ek abhimani (dignified), dharmik (virtuous) aur samajhdaar (considerate) stree hona chahiye..' Prithvi vallabh said.

'Aur vaise bhi unhe kisi khaas tithi (special occasion) par atithiyon (guests) ka swagat karna hai.. Aur unhe dasiyon ko bhi sambhalna hai.. Vo tumhare jaise avegsheel (impulsive) aur asisth (rude) na ho..' Prithvi vallabh added.

'Aapne hamari sahayata ki uske liye dhanyawaad.. Aur rahi baat aapki hone wali dharm patni ki tho uchit nirnay lekar chuniyega.. Aapko subh kaamnaye de rahi hu.. Ab hum apna vidai lete hai..' Chandrakanta said.

'Tehro..' Prithvi Vallabh said. He gave a cream and asked her to apply it and not to scare people in that dark and cold night. She gets down the carriage and he leaves.
