Epi begins with Ganga saying no to Sagar. Agreed that I haven’t seen such a toy in my life but I don’t want it. Sagar is confused. She says I am alone, I have no one so you are showing pity on me. I don’t want anyone’s pity. Take your toy. Sagar remarks that everyone is right that you are stubborn. Plus Dadi is right, whatever happened with you was right. No one is at fault. It is all because of your karmas. She leaves from there hurt. He shouts after her to go. I wont play with you now even if you come to me. I wont even talk to you.
Ganga comes downstairs and meets Maharaj ji. He is concerned seeing her sad face. He gives her sugar to give to Amma ji. Don’t go inside the room.
Amma ji prays as she readies her bed. She notices Ganga standing at the door. Amma ji is having pain in her legs. She takes the sugar from Ganga and then tells her to go but Ganga stands there watching her. Someone plays a song (Chittiyan Kalaiyan) outside which irks Amma ji but brings a smile on Ganga’s face. Ganga is told to close the window of Amma ji’s room. She obliges. Amma ji finds the song obscene. This place is not fit for widows anymore. Ganga goes out and picks up her bedding. She hears the same song and moves her feet / hands along with the beats. Maharaj ji tells her to stop. He gives her milk to drink.
Ganga asks Maharaj ji why Dadi cooks her food separately. Maharaj ji explains that a widow cannot eat the food cooked in someone else’s kitchen. Another peppy song plays and Ganga gets happy. she asks Maharaj ji if Dadi doesn’t like music. He asks her if she likes such weird songs. She nods. Everyone in my village sings songs when Sawan comes. He knows about it too. They are called Kajri but these obscene songs are nothing in comparisonto Kajri. He resumes his work while she sits down in a corner.
She remembers how her Bappa used to push her on swings that they used to make in Sawan specially. She sings a song, O Amma Mere Baba ko Bhejo ji. Maharaj ji and Madhvi hear her in surprise while Amma ji closes her ears so she can concentrate in her puja. Maharaj ji and Madhvi are touched by her words.
Next morning, Amma ji returns after taking Ganga snan. She gives puja thaal to Ganga after confirming it that Ganga has taken a bath. Sagar rushes to greet his Dadi, and asks for Prasad. Ganga gives it to him but he is angry with her so declines. I will take from my Dadi only. Amma ji is more than happy to do so. Sagar looks angrily in Ganga’s direction before heading back to his room. Amma ji sends her to give Prasad to Niranjan and Madhvi.
Pulkit finds his socks in Sagar’s cupboard once again. he notices the same toy train there as well and asks Sagar about it. Why did you bring it back? Didn’t you feel like giving it to her in the end? Sagar denies. She refused to take it. She is very stubborn. Why do I care if she doesn’t want it? He keeps it back in his cupboard. Pulkit smiles thinking that atleast there is someone in this house now who can do what he (she) wishes to.
Madhvi is tidying the bed. Niranjan can see that she wants to say something and tells her to go ahead. I can notice other things too except my work. She talks to him about Ganga. She is a very simple and lovely girl. Ganga is outside the door and watches / hears them from a distance. Madhvi continues, the longer she stays here, the more she will grow fond of everyone. She was singing in a very melodious voice yesterday. I was so touched. Sagar talks about her all the time. Niranjan finds it good but she says, Ganga is someone else’s kid. Is it easy to raise a girl? it is such a big responsibility. She is young but she will eventually grow up. Times are not so good. What will we do if something wrong happens with her? Prabha Bhabhi was also talking about it. I too like Ganga but we cannot overlook the facts. I agree that Prabha Bhabhi exaggerates things a bit but even Amma ji not happy with Ganga staying here. She is worried day and night that there is no obstacle in her dharma, her puja. they are not wrong in what they are saying regarding Ganga. We will have to make some or other arrangement for Ganga one day. You only will have to see where she goes and what she does. Amma ji has clearly told me to send Ganga away asap. Niranjan says I have already spoken to Raghav ji about it. we will find a way out. Amma ji also doesn’t mind it till the time Sagar is happy. He packs his stuff as he has to reach court. Ganga leaves from there quietly.
Ganga comes to Sagar and Pulkit’s room. Sagar asks Pulkit to sharpen his pencil but Pulkit is getting late. He notices Ganga. Did you both have a fight? He leaves for school. Ganga thinks of Niranjan’s words. She offers to sharpen Sagar’s pencil for him but he continues trying on his own. She begins to pack his school bag but he tells her not to touch his stuff. Go away. she notices his cricket kit in a corner and gets an idea. How many runs have you scored in a cricket match? Did you ever score a 100? He denies. she says we will play once you return from school. You can make 100 runs then. He invites her to his school in the recess time. Meet me outside the school. He makes a route sketch for her so she can reach there. He also gives her some money so she can reach the school. He tells her to reach there sharp at noon. Don’t tell this to anyone as it is a secret between the two of us. Ganga asks is if he is still angry with her. he shakes his head and then leaves for school. She says Amma ji wont send me out of this house ever if you are happy. I will stay here only.
Niranjan moves around the room making his fileready while Madhvi runs behind him to make him eat something. He finds Ganga running to somewhere, stops her and asks her if she had breakfast. She shakes her head. niranjan immediately calls out for Maharaj ji and tells him to take care of Ganga. She is a kid and has not eaten anything since morning. Niranjan asks her if she wants anything from the market. She again shakes her head which brings a smile on his face. You are very intelligent. Listen to what the elders of the house say to you and don’t let Amma ji get upset with you. She nods. She leaves with Maharaj ji afterwards. Madhvi gives juice to Niranjan.
Maharaj ji mutters to Ganga. Bhaiya ji scolded me in the morning because of you. You could have asked me to give you food. They enter kitchen just when the maid is taking out the locket from the flour (she had hidden it there). She nervously runs out of there. Maharaj ji goes to bring breakfast for Ganga.
She sits in a corner as per his instructions.
Ganga runs inside Sagar’s room after making sure no one is around to notice her. she tears the page in which he had made the route map for her. She realises that it is written in English. She concentrates a little and then recalls his school’s name (Lawrence School). Next she picks up his cricket kit and heads downstairs. She hides away from Maharaj ji and Madhvi who are working in the kitchen. She finds the main door locked when she finally reaches there. She smartly throws the cricket kit to another corner so no one questions her. She casually begins to walk towards it when Amma ji comes there. Ganga hides. Amma ji reminds Maharaj ji to make kheer for Sagar. Amma ji sits in the courtyard itself. Ganga is worried as she looks at the wall clock. Sagar told me not to tell it to anyone that I am coming to his school. How can I go now when Amma ji is sitting here only?
Ganga very carefully and quietly picks up the cricket kit and starts walking backwards holding it. Maid is coming from the other side. she is looking happily at the locket in her hand. they both don’t see each other and collide. The locket lands quite near to where Amma ji is sitting. Maid is tensed. She asks Ganga what is she doing here with this kit. Amma ji asks Ganga is she was going outside. Maid gets tensed as Amma ji walks towards them. Amma ji walks past the locket without noticing it yet. Amma ji and Maid question Ganga. Ganga smartly replies that she is only taking it in the courtyard outside as Sagar would want to play as soon as he is back. Amma ji declines. stay at home only. Everyone got so worried when you went missing last time. Amma ji walks past the locket when Ganga notices it. She points it out to Amma ji. Amma ji picks it up. This is Madhvi’s locket. She calls out Madhvi. Keep gold carefully as it is considered inauspicious to lost gold. Madhvi is glad that they finally found it. Amma ji gives credit to Ganga. Luckily she found it and your locket was saved.
Madhvi touches Ganga’s face lovingly. You only found it last time too. You deserve a prize. Amma ji gets irked hearing that. Ganga tells them that she does not want any gift / prize. Madhvi insists so Ganga requests her to let her go out for a while. I will be back soon. Amma ji asks her questions. Madhvi tries to take Ganga’s side but Amma ji stays put. You have kept an outsider girl at home so think about your responsibilities too. Ganga, you wont go anywhere. I spoke to you nicely for 2 days but it doesn’t mean you will do what you like. Don’t even dare to step out of the house. Madhvi goes to make list of groceries as per Amma ji’s orders. Maid too heads to do her work. Amma ji tells Maharaj ji to keep an eye on Ganga.
Maharaj ji makes Ganga sit in a corner as he has other work to do as well. Ganga thinks of Sagar’s words and Niranjan’s words. It is 11:30 already. What should I do now? Maharaj ji washes veggies nearby. Ganga looks at the wall clock worriedly.
At school, teacher gives the class an essay to write as soon as the lunch period is over. Kids take out their books sadly. Sagar gets busy reading a comic book. A girl (Shruti) tells him to do his work but he replies that he wont be here after lunch break. I am going to play cricket. His friend asks him how he can play when his cricket kit would be at home at this moment. Sagar tells them about Ganga. I have told her to bring my cricket kit here. She will surely come. She listens to everything that I say.
Maid eyes Ganga irritated while she washes clothes. I had finally got that locket but I lost it because of her. Maharaj ji advises her to be slow and careful. He gives her more clothes to wash which irks her all the more. Maharaj ji teases her. maid threatens to leave this house and work at Mrs. Gupta’s house. She is after me since long.
Pulkit returns home and calls out for his mother. He asks for some money as he has to go to police station with a random kid. There was theft at his house. Amma ji is taken aback. Maid too gets curious. Madhvi gives money to Pulkit. Amma ji suggests him not to go but Pulkit says I am a lawyer’s son. Saket (his friend) said that it will be a good factor. Pulkit gives his bag to his mother and goes out. Madhvi is happy with her son’s behaviour. He has taken after his father. He is always ready to help everyone. Amma ji tells Madhvi to learn a lesson from this theft. Keep your valuables safely. She next sends Maharaj ji to lock the other door as well. Keep all the windows closed. She sends maid to feed chapatti to cow and then sends Ganga upstairs to shoo birds away from the stuff kept on the terrace. Ganga is worried as the clock is ticking.
Recess bell is rung. Sagar gives his tiffin to Shruti. I am going to play with Ganga. I will eat food outside only. She should be here by now.
Ganga is shooing the birds away. Sagar’s recess period would have begun. He must be waiting for me. if I don’t go then he will get upset. If that happens, then Dadi will throw me out of the house. What should I do? Maid asks her to help her in drying clothes. Ganga obliges.
Sagar is waiting impatiently for Ganga. The recess is about to get over and Ganga is still not here! Did she forget the way? But I had written (drawn) it for her. His friends come there. They are not sure if Ganga will really come. You have not even written your essay. Teacher will surely punish you. Sagar looks towards the main gate again.
Ganga asks maid about the time. She is nervous to know that it is 12:30 pm now. Maid leaves. Ganga is drying a dupatta when she gets an idea. She runs to the boundary and checks the height. A big smile spreads across her face. She joins many dupattas together.
Recess period gets over. Shruti tells him that no one can come inside the school after third bell. His friend calls him a fool to believe Ganga. You have not even written your essay. Be ready for punishment. He heads inside with Shruti. Sagar is really angry with Ganga by now. You have fooled me. Now just wait and watch! I will complain to Dadi as you lied to me! She will scold you nicely then.
Ganga makes many knots in the dupattas. She looks downstairs to make sure the road and the courtyard inside are empty. She goes downstairs and picks up the cricket kit. She throws it down from the terrace. Amma ji hears the noise. She mutters something and then lies down to sleep for a while. She is disturbed by the passerby seller outside. Ganga drops one side of the dupatta down and ties the other corner from the boundary of the terrace. She prays to her Gods for safety as she begins to descend the balcony using it. Ganga realises that she is just outside Amma ji’s window. She prays that Dadi doesn’t open her eyes. She is finally able to reach the ground successfully. She runs away from there with the cricket kit.
The third bell too rings at the school. Sagar paces anxiously. Guard comes there and tells him to go to his class. Sagar leaves dejected. Guard locks the main door and Ganga reaches there just then. She is shown running towards the gate with the cricket kit bag slung on her shoulder. She too is sad to find the door locked.
Precap: A man points a knife at Madhvi. She shouts for help and holds his hand so he doesn’t hurt her, yet she gets wounded on her hand in the process. Inspector assures Niranjan that they will find the thief soon. I cannot understand who made this rope using dupattas and hung it from your terrace?
