"Who gave you these rights?, What rights are you talking about?, You have no right to me asking me all those questions and acting like that with me, YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS ON ME AT ALL NONE" all these words were spinning around Gulaal's mind, all those spiteful words she said to her Kesar, in shock how did she manage to say such harsh things to him. She sees Kesar's little face and remembers him say "apne Kesar, apne Kesar". Gulaal cries " Why did I say that to Kesar, my Kesar the one who meant everything to me, the one who was there for me all the way when Vasant left me, my Kesar the one who meant the world to me, today I had said such a horrible thing, how could I have done this. I will never be able to face my Kesar, all he wanted to know what his brothers truth, he's blood related, he was the one that loved Vasant the most and the one Vasant loved the most. Today I destroyed Vasant's sapna by saying Kesar has no rights on me. I have never thought about Kesar's feelings once, how can i do this to him? How comes I've been so unfair to my Kesar. The pain I caused Kesar today is the pain that will remain in my heart forever. I must talk to him tomorrow morning."
Gulaal and Motabha are having a conversation..Kesar calmly interrupts.
"Motabha I need to talk to you about something" ..Gulaal's face was in shock thinking "Is he going to talk about Vasants murder", her heart was racing. Motabha replies "Yes sure what do you want to talk about" ..Kesar's face, body showing no feel, no emotions he stood their lifeless and said "I've made a decision about my life, I want to get married. I want to get married to Talli". Both Motabha and Gulaal shocked. Gulaal didn't know whether she should be happy or worried. But since Kesar's behaviour was improving the family saw this as a good side. Kesar walked away.
Talli soon found out about Kesar's decision and so did Dushyant. Talli sensed that something was not right. Kesar does not love her but he loves someone else. Talli thought "I love Kesar but I never ever want to deprive him from getting his love". She thought and thought and she remembered those letters she hid in Gulaals room.
Talli shaken gets each letter one by one reading them tears flowing in her eyes she cries " All of this was happening right under my nose and I never even sensed Kesar's feelings not one bit, he got the chunar for Gulaal, Gulaal is the only person in his life he has been in love with her since the day I thought I loved him. Kesar is for Gulaal she means the world to him and Gulaal knows that yet she's forcing him to marry me. How could did she do that? Why has she been so horrible to Kesar. More over how comes I never realised how comes I never sensed the love he had for her?
Gulaal in her room later that evening, staring at herself in the mirror suddenly the door opens wide open ( she has a sudden excitement on her face yet nervous thinking Kesar has come to see her) but no, it was not Kesar. Talli tearful hurtful face walks in slowly, Talli starts screaming at Gulaal " YOU'VE BEEN SO SELFISH, NOT TO ME BUT KESAR I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE AND NOT GETTING ANY ATTENTION OR LOVE BACK FROM WHOM YOU LOVE THE MOST AND TRUST ME GULAAL IT HURTS. YOU'VE HURT KESAR SO MUCH AND YOUR FORCING HIM TO MARRY ME JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU. WHAT ARE YOU MADE OF GULAAL? HOW SELFISH HAVE YOU BEEN? THAT KESAR THAT WIPED EVERY TEAR OF YOURS, THE ONE THAT MADE YOU SMILE, MADE YOU LAUGH DID EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER FOR YOU EVER SINCE HE WAS A KID. ALL I CAN SEE IS THAT YOU JUST TOOK ADVANTAGE OF HIM, AND NOW YOUR IGNORING HIM LIKE HE'S DONE SOMETHING WRONG. SHALL I TELL YOU SOMETHING GULAAL? HE'S PROBABLY HURTING MORE THAN YOU WERE HURT WHEN YOU LOST VASANT...
I always thought you were so alone but NO i was wrong you had me you had our whole family for these past 10 years. Who did Kesar have? No one yet everyone in this house thinks wrong of him till today because of you. Stop thinking about others and me for once and for God's sake look into Kesar's eyes and see his pain and think about him for once. He must be so alone right now and the only person that can heal him is YOU.
TALLI THROWS THE LETTERS TO GULAAL'S FACE...
