Bah... 😭 another wasted episode - seems to have come to a standstill!!!
Okay, starts off with Marriage Registrar's office. Shanti is asking Narayana is all is set - malai is there etc etc. Rajeshwari comes in with Karthik and arjun. Shanti greets them individually but doesnt' not greet Karthik - doesn't even look at him.
Then Madan and Rohini come with child. Found it weird that Rohini's mom didn't come. Anyway, they come and the procedure starts. They put malai and he ties tali (really... does this happen in registrar's office??) then they sign. Karthik and Shanti are called upon as witnesses. Shanthi signs and then passes the book to Karthik.. her face is emotional but she never says a word to him.
They all congratulate the bride adn bridegroom. Rajeshwari says that she would be doubly thrilled if another event occured - shanti feels bad as she knows that Rajeshwari is reffering to SHanti and Karthick getting back together. But Arjun defuses the situation by saying that she is referring to RK's return.
They all go for lunch, but Rajeshwari and Karthik do not go. Karthik goes off to meet Balaji and releases his pent up frustration there. Balaji is happy to hear the passion in karthik to return to shanti and avenge abhirami. He tells karthik that 'vengam vida vivekam' is better to deal with the situation. Advises karthik to reflect carefully and plan his strategy for revenge and not to talk about nonsense such as killing Abhirami and going to jail for pariharam for all his sins.
Balaji comes rushing to inform Shanti that Karthik loves her still and was despearate to get back with her. Shanti is pleased to hear that and she tells Balaji that her 'silent treatment' tactic seems to be working. Balaji agrees with her that her method to keep the revenge fire burning in Karthik was very efffective. Shanti confesses that she felt terrible about what she was doing and and it broke her heart into a million pieces everytime she ignored Karthik and she felt that her resolve woudl be shattered if she she and Karthik looked at each other eye to eye, so she avoided that too.
Well, we are now shown Ramya's husband getting ready for work (whats the poor chappie's name- - can't remember for the life of me) His mummy comes in with sad expression and he asks her what the matter was. She says that she feels that Srini has gone overboard with the love for money and she felt that Abhirami was corrupting him. She asked the son to keep away from abhirami's influence. He assures her that he would speak with daddy dear.
Cut to Abhirami's palace. She for a change is wearing a not so cool saree. Sitting on the rocking chair in a very weird position - the lowest position of the rocking chair and is sitting very very still with a very vacant expression on her face that shows us that she is very very tense about something - which most probably is that someone must have told her about the registrar office wedding ceremony. She is recalling the scene in which Shanti told her off after Madan's victory as chamber president and the scene after the divorce was finalised when Shanti came to her and told her to reflect on her actions and change otherwise she would get entangled in the web of deceit that she had spun.
Enter Shyam. he is surprised to see her that way. he touches her shoulder and she jumps and shouts startled. He is shocked.
Abhirami gets off the chair and starts screaming on top of her voice that RK destroyed her father and Madan and SHanti are destroying her. She screams that Madan is now happily married and Shanti is the person who stood there as Master of Ceremonies. Abhirami says that she had lost again and the reason for her defeat is Shanti and she wants to destroy her. Shyam looks totally apalled at the rancour and venom in her voice.
end of episode!!!
