He then remembers Imlie, her nok jhok, and her support and says a few people support in the background and fill colors even in black and white papers. He continues his speech.
At home, family waits for Aditya with cake. Imlie stands aside reminiscing Adi’s words not to come in front of him. Aparna calls him, she thinks she will stay in her room and give him gift when he is alone. Adi rings bell. Tauji asks everyone to hide. Sundar also hides. Tauji scolds him to open the door. Sundar opens door and welcomes Adi in. Adi gets Meethi’s call who requests him to let her speak to Imlie. He walks towards Imlie’s room. Malini with family eagerly waits for him and when he doesn’t come walks out to check. She offers him going towards Imlie’s room. Adi gives phone to Imlie, and Imlie emotionally speaks to Mithi and asks about Satyakam. Mithi says he is safe and asks her to keep Savitri vrat/fast for her husband’s long life. She disconnects call and seeing Adi alone gifts him Satyakam’s given 1 rs shagun, describing Satyakam’s words. He asks her to keep it herself as Satyakam gave her with love. She says dadda wants her to study well and become something, etc. He asks if she would like to hold his award. She happily agrees and holds it with him.
Malini enters and stands heartbroken seeing that. Family joins her and asks why did he come here instead of meeting them, they all wanted to celebrate his success. Malini walks to her room weeping. Aparna asks him to go to Malini. He walks to Malini and sees cake and decoration and Malini crying. Malini says she wanted to hold his trophy first, but he didn’t give her that opportunity. He says he wanted to meet her first, but Imlie’s mother called him and requested to speak to Imlie, so he went to her. Malini says she thinks he doesn’t understand her at all and must be thinking she does drama; his dream was also her dream and she also sacrificed many years and sleepless nights with him, its equally important to her like him, but he doesn’t understand that. He says she is also important than award and knows what she is feeling, she should hold it and forgive him, he will try to become a husband she likes. Imlie enters and mimicking a cock as punishment apologize to Malini for ruining her hard work. Malini ask her not to do that as she didn’t do anything and asks her to come in. Imlie asks them both to come down as everyone are waiting. Malini gifts Adi silver coin as a good shagun and wishes him all the best for his career. He asks her to go as he will freshen up and join them. Malini leaves with Imlie.

Aditya cuts cake, and whole family congratulate him. He feed cake to whole family. Nidhi takes even Dhruv’s share saying she will fast whole day for him. Aparna informs Malini that they are keeping Savitri vrat/fast and perform pooja, even she can if she wants. Imlie reminisces Mithi asking her to keep Savitri vrat for her husband’s long life. Malini asks why they keep this vrat. Imlie describes that a suhgan fast for her husband’s long life like Savitri fought with Yamraj to bring back her husband to life. Adi reminisces Imlie risking her life to save him. Imlie says its very tough as they eat before sunrise and fast till moonrise. Taiji says how does she know all this. Imlie says she saw it in her village since childhood. Malini says she will also keep a fast for Adi. Adi says he doesn’t believe in all this, so she doesn’t have to fast for him. Malini says there was no need for throwing this party, she wants to participate in all family rituals and fast with maa and other ladies. Taiji says they should invite even Malini’s parents for dinner, but seeing Dev’s health, she is hesitant. Aparna says she will invite them.
Dev’s mother/Daadi comes to meet him and his family. Anu asks why did she come so early. Daadi says she came for Savitri pooja. Anu says she doesn’t believe in all that. Daadi shows bangles for her. Anu sees 2 chains and asks whom are these for. Daadi says one is for Malini. Anu asks what about other, just then she gets Aparna’s call and walks aside hoping Malini is fine. Aparna invites her for Savitri pooja dinner. Anu says she doesn’t believe in all that and if they are forcing Malini to fast. Aparna says she is fasting on her own and requests her to attend dinner party. Anu agrees. Daadi walks to Dev. Dev says he is feeling emotionally very helpless. Daadi says he shouldn’t name his weakness as helplessness and should correct the mistake he did, he betrayed Anu and a village girl, she feels pity for Imlie who is suffering because of him and she wants to give Imlie a better life as interest is more dearer than principle to grandparents. She shows 2 chains bought for Malini and Imlie. Dev says both are looking good. Anu enters and asks what do they mean by both. Dev hurriedly hides box and says maa is telling both Malini and Adi have right on their village property. Anu says he is right and informs about Tripathi’s dinner party tomorrow. Once she leaves, Daadi tells Dev that his 18-year-old secret has come out now.
Early morning, Tauji helps Taiji pin her sari pallu and gets romantic, Pankaj helps Aparna to wear bangles, and even Adi helps Malini. They all walk to living room for pooja. Imlie thinks if she can keep fast or not, but she can not lie to her amma. Family performs pooja. Malini pray to god to continue his blessings on Adi. Imlie prays to give him strength to fight with problems always. Malini prays to keep him successful in both his personal and professional life. Imlie prays not to let sorrows near him. Malini prays to keep her and Adi together always. Imlie thinks though he is not with her always, he should be close to her. After pooja, men feed their women. Nidhi tells Dhruv that she loves this ritual as he feeds her and she apply her nail polish. Adi feeds Malini and she says she is full. Aparna says she can not have anything till evening, so she should have some more. Malini bites apple and says enough now. Adi says he will eat it. Aparna says its pooja food and he can not have it, she will keep it in the kitchen and Malini will have it in the evening. Imlie watch them silently standing aside. Tauji notices her and asks what is she doing. She says she woke up hearing their noise. Tauji asks to go and sleep now. Imlie thinks of having Malini’s leftover food as Adi has touched it. She hurriedly takes plate from Malini. Taiji asks her to go and rest, but Imlie insists. Nidhi asks her to clean the plates and sleep for sure. Imlie hides behind kitchen table once they leave and thinks when Seeta maiya can have Ramji’s leftover food, she is nothing and can have Adi’s touched food. She bites apple. Adi returns to check and seeing Imlie having apple asks what is she doing, if she is hungry she should have proper food than leftover. Imlie prays god to save her from Adi’s questions and asks why can’t she have food, she needs apple as she is weak. Adi asks why she is having Malini’s leftover food. Imlie says she didn’t know about it and just had it. Adi says he feels there is something more to this story and it will not end here. Imlie asks him to go and rest now. He says he will not stop her from following her heart, he got peace in life after a long time and he doesn’t want to spoil it with his or her mistake. Imlie thinks his attention is only towards Malini, she is living a hidden life and will perform rituals hiding.
Precap: Anu sees sindhoor on Imlie’s hairline, says sindoor is applied by married women, and asks whose named sindhoor has applied on her hairline. Anu says she herself will erase Imlie’s sindhoor and tries, but family stops her.
