Tanu comes and starts packing pragya’s clothes in the suitcase. Pragya comes and asks whats she doing here, and how dare she touch her stuff. tanu taunts that she is merely helping her, as she would have to pack her stuff tomorrow, to leave the house. she asks if she has gone mad, as she shall not leave. tanu says that she isnt sending, but after what happenes tomorrow, she herself wouldnt wish to stay. she says that tomorrow, after 12, she shall marry abhi. pragya is shocked. tanu thanks her for what she did, as had she not done it, then she wouldnt be getting married, as by sending purab and akash to the lawyer’s office, she gave her a brilliant idea. she says that when the papers are signed, divorce shall happen too. she says to
pragya that she wanted to hide the divorce papers, so that the divorce isnt legal, and neither their marriagee, but unfortunately her lie was caught. pragya is shocked. tanu says that she wont give her another chance to think or act, and shall marry him tomorrow, and after that, she shall depart, while tanu herself rules the house. she says that once her divorce is finalised tomorrow, then they shall register and throw a reception too, as tomorrow abhi shall take away her vermillion and don it on her forehead. pragya is stunned. tanu says that he shall leave her company, and take the pious circles around the fire, with her. she says that since the sindoor and mangalsutra join a couple, hence she wouldnt be able to be with abhi anymore. she also says that she shall have her stuff shifted, as this shall be her room tomorrow onwards. pragya is shocked. tanu says that hence she was packing her stuff, and says that she cant stay in the guest room, if she so wishes, or in granny;s room, and asks her to decide with granny, as she shall stay with abhi in his room. pragya asks her to stop this nonsense. tanu says that this should have happened long back, but maybe she has a better fate, hence she remained in the house so far, but now she shall set her straight. then she asks her to see her face, as abhi wouldnt want a middle class wife like her, but he always wanted to be with a super model like her, to raise his standard. she says that money isnt everything, as she lacks class, by birth. she continues taunting her, while pragya is overwhelmed. she asks pragya to go to her mother, so that she can take care of her, as staying here would only give her pain and torment. praygya eyes her ragefully. tanu packs her suitcase, and talks about how middle class women only think about a fancy life with rich guys. to add insult to injury, she hands her a toy, and asks her to see it whenever she remembers abhi. his sister too comes, and taunts her along with tanu, that she should keep these dolls to herself, and live her life in solace now. tanu says that she wants pragya to stay alone, just like she had to for sometime. tanu says that she is relieved after a long time, not because she is marrying abhi, but because pragya is leaving. she says that the day she knows pragya has moved on, and has gotten over it, she would come to meet her, with abhi and maybe after seeing them, her wounds become fersh. she reprimands pragya for how she ruined her life. his sister asks her to calm down, as it isnt right in her condition, and then says that she along with her sister, bulbul ruined her life too. she says that she snatched abhi, and bulbul snatcehd purab, and reminds what all she had to go through due to her and bulbul. they taunt and tease her, while she is apalled. they remind her of her pitiful condition. she says that she is more happy for her marriage, than tanu herself. she counts the time down to 12 hours, and she can live as much as she wants, as she has to die every minute after that. she takes pragya and shows her face in front of the mirror, as this is the last day of her as a married woman, since she would neither be married nor have a husband tomorrow. she shows her the vermillion bottle, as neither is this hers, nor her husband, which means, her vermillion is in someone else’s fate now. she hands her the vermillion and asks her to look closely, as she came as hitler, to save abhi from enemies, but couldnt protect herself even and came married, but shall leave divorced. tanu then gives her the wedding pic, that she had torn, and abhi has cellotaped it back, to take it with her, so that she can put up her grand wedding pic with abhi. they start talking about how in depression, she might just commit suicide. tanu says that even if she dies, she would marry tomorrow, even if thats on her funeral pyre. they leave citing marriage preparations, but before going, tanu again reminds her the venue. they leave.
In granny’s room, purab and akash discuss with granny, as to what to about pragya now. granny says that she is very shrewd, as whenever she meets pragya alone, she does something drastic. Just then, abhi enters and granny asks whats the matter, as he seems hesitant. he says that he has done what she wanted him to do, and that he has been forgiven by pragya too. granny says that she too has forgiven him. he says that if noone has anything against him, then he should do that, for which he has divorced pragya, and announces that he shall marry tanu tomorrow, shocking them all. he says that he cant do this without them, and hence wants them to know first. they are apalled. he says that he is getting married tomorrow at ten in the temple, and asks them all to come. he leaves. they are distraught and wonder what to do now. akash says that they dont have time to think anymore. purab thinks that pragya would be devastated. granny laments that god is testing pragya badly.
In his studio, abhi is distraught, remembering his romantic times with pragya. Just then, purab comes and asks whats this, and how can he do this, as he got the divorce papers signed by a trap from pragya, and now even before its finalised, he is marrying tanu, and asks whats wrong, and if even he thinks that, he has to do the wrong thing. abhi asks him not to get into it, as its all become too complicated, and he cant explain it to anyone, and particularly not him. purab asks what does he mean, and asks if he has been isntructed by tanu not to speak to anyone, and asks how could he not even bother to ask him, before such a big decision, and today he proved them all wrong. he says that he found out accidentally today, or else he wouldnt have even told him. he continues to reprimand him for treating him like a stranger, after making him feel family, while abhi is frustrated and disturbed himself. he says that he reduced him to the status of a manager, and he is joining new relations on the funeral of old ones, and that he doesnt deserve to be in the house, and hence he is leaving. abhi apologises to purab and asks him to try and udnerstand, as he is like a brother, and he doesnt have anyone except him. he says that pragya isnt talking to him due to the divorce, and tanu doesnt talk of anything except marriage, granny doesnt talk, and alia is a gone case. he says that he needs him, and asks him not to desert him, even though he is angry, as his heart and mind are at cross roads. purab asks him to listen to the heart, when he knows what his heart wants. abhi says that his heart has been wanting this for a long time, but he took a long time to hear it, and now its too late, as the marriage is fixed tomorrow, and tanu’s parents are coming, and the divorce has happened, and he cant do anything even if he wants to. purab is apalled.
In her room, granny comes and finds pragya sitting tensed. granny tries to console her, but pragya stops her, saying that she is broken now, but doesnt need any consolation, sympathy or false hopes. she says that her story has ended, and she got defeated. she says that she had lost long back, but was clinging to the last hope, not able to bear any pain, and by the excuse of fighting, she was just amusing herself. Pragya tells granny that she wrongly taught her, to fight for the truth always, and that the vermillion has strong powers, as there is noone today beside her, and she is totally alone, and if there is anyone, then where is he, and the vermillion and mangalsutra. she says that there was a sister, who isnt here anymore, a mother who is so helpless, that she cant help even if she wants to, and if anyone wants to help, they land in trouble. she says that she hasnt been defeated by tanu, but by her fate, and who else would be so unfortunate, that her divorce isnt finalised yet, and the husband is marrying someone else, and whats a relation that ends by a mere signature. she says that if her vermillion isnt with her, then what does her fate behold. she says that granny was wrong as there is no place for the truth, in this world of lies, and talks about how everything is over now. Granny tells her that it isnt so. but pragya is depressed, saying that he is marrying tanu, and all is over now. granny says that she still has anger, which tells that she isnt broken from inside, and isnt defeated yet, and her anger says that she can still fight and win too. pragya eyes her tensedly. granny asks her to realise her anger within, which has kept her alive, and till this is there, she shall move on. she says that she isnt here to console or sympathise with her, but just to make her realise that just like the divorce isnt finalised, tanu isnt married yet, and till that doesnt happen, she shouldnt accept defeat. she reminds pragya that she still has time, and she can do a lot if she so wishes. pragya says that the papers are signed, and that marriage preparations are done, and tanu’s family is coming, and what can she do now. granny asks her not to think of what can happen, but what she wants to happen. she asks her to close her eyes, and remember her marriage, as this was what, tied them both together. she says that while hating and loving each other, they were always together. but they were together, and that abhi is his, and before marrying tanu, he shall be hers only. pragya is set to thinking. The screen freezes on her face.
