Anandi was shocked to see Shiv there and was unable to hold back her tears, Singh family leaves leaving Jagya alone there.
Dadisa signals Shiv to talk later and leaves taking Anandi home. Shiv nods in response.
Shiv moves towards Jagya.
Shiv: Look Mr Jagdish, I am no one to ask why you have some here or what you want from Anandi or your family. Infact I don't even know what has happened in past between you and your family members since I never had the need to enquire about anything, even in future I don't want to know anything about you. But I would like to say one thing to you going forward even if by mistake I see tears in Anandi's eyes because of you and for no mistake of hers then this time even Anandi will not be able to help you out from getting punished. I truly hope we both don't meet again in such a situation.
Jagya gets flash back of how Shiv fought with him and how he was in police station, how Anandi signed for him and got him out of Jail.
Shiv leaves from there While Jagya standing alone there thinking about how Anandi was when he was with her, how much she cared for him then and how much she hates him now, how his own family is not ready to forgive him.
Singh family arrive home Gehna takes Anandi to her room while others are seated in the hall and thinking about the happenings of the day.
Bhairav: I told you Maasa not to entertain that guy, see what he has done today? My little girl with so much difficulty was trying to forget her past and move on in her life and this guy came back and ruined everything, how am I going to console her??? This is what I wanted to avoid and today I could not do anything but stand there and listen.
Dadisa: Yes Bhairav I understand now it's my mistake to even have shown mercy on him which he took for granted and walked up to Anandi. Poor girl none of us will be able to understand what she is going through now. Worst thing was Shiv to come there, what would he have thought about all these.
Basanth: Mom, Shiv is a sensible guy I am sure he would not have mistaken anything about any of us. We should make sure that Anandi does not get depressed. Gehana make Anandi have some food.
Dadisa: Nope get the food I will feed her myself, I need to talk to her.
Dadisa enters Anandi's room with food and goes and sits besides Anandi.
Anandi: Why Dadisa? Why is that women are the one who should pay for everything? Is being born as a girl itself is a curse??
Dadisa: No my dear, being born as a girl is gods gift, the pain a girl can tolerate, the confidence a girl can give her husband, the patience a girl has to understand each member of the family, the sacrifice she makes to keep others happy, the strength she has to take care of her family, the courage she has to face the difficulties in life and the support she gives during those times to her husband or family and never lets them loose, do u think a man can do all these??? Never, men are physically strong but mentally they are very weak, most men make the choice for their family thinking about what they think is good for their family, but a women always takes into count what everyone wants in the family and tries to fulfil them accordingly no matter whether her choice is taken in to count or not, but that is not her weakness its her generosity. Men and Women are 2 faces of same coin if one teaches how to think practically another teaches how to think emotionally.
Anandi: But Dadisa men always think women are born to forget and forgive them no matter what a women wants, no value for their self respect, no identity for them, no freedom for them, no value for their dreams, are we so cheap???
Dadisa: Anandi, Not all men are like Jagya. Ur Dadusa was a great man he always thought of his family first even before thinking about himself, he always considered my opinion before deciding anything. At times he used to realize how wrong he wud have been if he had decided according to his wish and used to thank me for giving him that advice. Similarly Bhairav, your Shiv and his parents are totally different from Jagdish don't you agree with me?
Anandi: Could be but I do not know what is right or what is wrong Dadisa; today I am feeling like I am the one who is a fault. I feel as if in order to keep my mothers promise I am being selfish and ready to forget 25 years of my life.
Dadisa: You are not doing anything wrong my sweet heart, if Jagya could forget his 25 years of life for other women breaking your heart, so can you forget for the women who brought you into this world. Never ever think that you are doing anything wrong by marrying Shiv. Who can know better than me how difficult it is to lead without a soul mate. I at least had my sons with me who were the reason for my survival but you whom do you have. Today Jagya might say sorry and come back but being his Dadisa I can tell you that he will again leave you when his needs are fulfilled. Shiv is a gem of a person who would give you all the happiness in the world. Hence forget what happened today as a bad dream and try to think about your future with Shiv, enough of you thinking for others. You have spent 25 years of life for others now live for your self my dear!!! Are you angry with me and others for not telling about Jagdish's return?
Anandi: No Dadisa I know why you didn't tell me and I have no complaints about it.
Dadisa feeds Anandi, Anandi has tears of happiness thinking Jagya might have caused her pain, broken her heart and destroyed her life, but for one thing she will always be grateful to him it was because of him she got such a loving family.
Anandi is in her bed thinking about what happened in last 24 hrs, what Jagya spoke of her how she blamed her for everything and how he called her being selfish. What Choti ma spoke about how could she ever forget her first husband, if she would be able to keep her son happy. She remembers how Shiv had heard their conversation. She picks up her phone dials Shiv's number.
Shiv in his bed thinking whether or not to call Anandi to ask how she is? His phone rings he picks up hurriedly.
Shiv: I was thinking of calling you.
Anandi: I hope I did not disturb you at this time of hour.
Shiv: No not at all.
Anandi: I was wondering if you have done the right thing by choosing me as your life partner.
Shiv: Anandi ji what happened why are you speaking like this? I know you are very hurt today and trust me I am feeling sorry for what you have to face today and not being to help you and stand by you in that situation. You are asking me if I did the right thing by choosing to marry you, why you are even thinking like that. If I had any second thoughts I would never have accepted the proposal when Dadiji asked me.
Choti ma comes to speak to Shiv but hears him talking to Anandi and decides to talk to the family members about this issue.
Anandi: Shiv ji I have already told you that you are a very good human being and you deserve good things in life, you deserve much better life partner than me. You witnessed what happened today and I am sorry you had to see that. By marrying me you will have to face situations again and again in life and I don't want you or your family to be humiliated in front of society because of me. Its true that I requested you to marry me thinking about the promise I gave my mother but that was me being selfish. If tomorrow any of those things happen which happened today I will never be able to forgive myself.
She was trying hard to control her tears; Shiv could sense how hurt she was and how bad she was feeling to speak those words.
Shiv: Anandi ji I am not sure if you will believe me. Until I met you I never had the thought of how my life partner should be, in fact I never gave a thought about it but when I saw you and came to know you I decided that I want a life partner like you that is even before I knew that you were married, before I knew that you were a victim of child marriage. I didnot like because you are beautiful, I liked the innocence in your smile, the courage you have to fight for others, the determination you have to achieve something in life, the respect you have for elders, the way you look at life, the way you solve big problems in no time, the way you deal with things, the maturity you have, it would be a waste of time to count the good things in you.
Anandi: Shiv ji I respect your feelings and trust me any girl in this world would be happy to have a person like you as her husband.
Shiv: Does that any girl includes you??
Anandi could no longer hold her tears and starts crying her heart out.
Shiv: I won't stop you from crying today Anandi ji, because once you are with me I promise to you that I will pay you back those many happy moments in life that many tear drops you have shed in life.
Anandi was overwhelmed with those words and she could no longer speak. She knew she was slowly starting to like Shiv, may be that is the reason she could not tolerate a word against him when Jagya spoke.
Anandi: Thanks Shiv ji for everything that you have done for me, I cannot ask anything more to God now.
Precap: Choti ma informs the family members about Jagya's return and how his shadow can never be separated from Anandi's life and which inturn will affect Shiv's life. Shiv shocked to hear such words from Choti ma.
