Part 1
Kaajjal listens to karan, and then silently disconnect the cell. After listening to Karan's phone she starts suspecting Dev again. She is confused, thinking whom to believe. Her mind is totally puzzled and in this whole scenario, she can only think of gannu bhaiyya, "main kya karoon gannubhaiyya, aik lamhay ko lagta hai yeh mera dev hai, aur doosray lagta hai, he is not my dev, "please guide me gannubhaiyya, show me the way and help me through this".
While she is still talking in her heart to gannubhaiyya, when she hears Dev calling her name, "Kaajjal, the car will be done in a minute, mechanic is here". She gives him a very strange look, and Dev feels that strange look, and ask her with all the love in the world, "what happened, are you ok?" and Kaajjal doesn't say a word except "I am ok". In her heart she's confused, 'is this is dev or Raju' and she decides she will give him a chance and will try to investigate and find out facts. "I have to do this myself and this is the only way I have. I don't want to loose Dev once again, but I cant let my guards go, until the time is right."
While they are still waiting for the mechanic to do the car, Dev's cell rings.
"Where are you Dev, and where is Kaajjal. I am home and waiting for you two" its NT on the other line.
"O mom, are u really home? I am sooo glad to hear that, just give us an hour and we'll be right there, we are just stranded with a broken car, the mechanic is working on it. Love you mom." Dev smiles and disconnects. All this time Kaajjal is looking at him with the same suspision and confusion. This time things are more difficult for her, because the question is not whether he is Dev or Raju? But, what if he is not Dev???
After the repair of the car they drive back home, and when they enter the house, Kaajjal sees her papa, and the arrangements of the mandap and marriage thing. Kaajjal gives a surprised look, to everyone, wondering why the engagement mandap soooo is well decorated like a wedding thing. Right then, satya realizes her confusion and steps forwards, "you and dev are not getting engaged", and smilling Dev completes the sentence, "but getting married today." And there, that one moment totally freaks Kaajjal out. She looks at Dev and then her papa, and than NT and there are 1000 thoguths crossing her mind in that one moment. She sees that happiness on Nt's face, that contentment in her papa's eyes, and that love on Dev's face. She is confused to death. She doesn't know whther to be happy to cry. One moment she thinks of telling NT about he whole situation and her confusion, but then Nt's health ceases her from doing so. She is all stranded in a place called nowhere. She wants to believe Dev but she is just confused. This is day she had been waiting for, for as long as she can remember, and now that its here, she doesn't know how to react. She just runs to her room. Satya senses a strange kind of stress in his daughter's eyes and comes after her. She is standing by gannu bhaiyya and just lokking at him silently, when he comes from behind and asks her, "what is it beta, are you not happy". And then without an answer he says, " beti ki shadi baap ka sab say bara khawab hoti hai, I am sooo happy u have found the true love of your life. Now I can die in peace that I have my daughter married to the one person who loves her and whom she loves. Do u remember, u used to ask me,papa, mere khawaboon ka raj kumar kab aayay ga, and I used to say he will come, your true love will come. I am soo happy today kaajjal." And listening to this, looking at her pap's content and happy face, Kaajjal breaks down in tears. She puts her head in his pap's lap and cries like a baby. And this confuses satya even more. "are u crying because u have to leave ur papa house forever. He places his hand on her head and gently pat her, "this was bound to happen beta, all girls hve to go. This is nature. Tumhara kanyadaan meri zindagi ki sab say bari khushi ho gi. But why are you crying soo much. Is there something bothering you?" He asks again and at this, listening to everything that her papa had t say, she realizes, she cant hurt her papa any more. First when I was getting engaged to Dhruv, infornt of everyone I said no and it hurt him soooooo damn much, then when dev had this accident I went crazy and that hurt papa more than anything and now again …. O No!!!!! Enough !!!! I cant hurt papa again, he is soo happy and this time, I have to live for his happiness. I have already give him enough tensions, I cant give him this mental stress again. And then she looks up to her papa and smiles at him, "I love you papa, and I am very happy. You go downstairs and I will get ready and come down."
Satya kisses her on her forehead with all the love in the world and leaves. Kaajjal is still sitting there on the floor and thinking. After a few minutes, she stands up and goes to gannubhaiyya's murti, holds hands and prays, "I don't know what I am going to do now, but all I know is, for my Dev, and for the happiness of his family, specially his mom and my papa, I have to do this. Please give me strength gannu bahiyya. Meri madad karain, main bohat akaily hoon, aur toot chuki hoon, Dev meray samnay hai phir bhi dil dar raha hai. Aaj main aik aisay mor par khari hoon jahan sach aur jhoot main farq karma bohat mushkil ho raha hai. Agar main yeh shadi nahi karti, tu NT aur papa toot jaain gay, aur agar main yeh shadi karti hoon, tu shaid aik aisay bhanwar main phans jaaon gi jahan say nikalna meray liyay namumkin ho jayay ga. But I have decided, now I have to live for NT and my pap's happiness, and in the process if I find my happiness, I will feel as if I am the luckiest person in the whole world. I want to give dev a chance but I have to keep a strong hold on my emotions and have to build barriers around me. fo I belong to none other than Dev. And if this is Dev, to main tu Dev kit hi, Dev kihoon, aur Dev ki hi rahoon gi, but if he is not Dev than …….
At this thought she opens a drawer, and picks up the poison bottle, sees it and say, agar zindagi nay mera saath nahi diya tu yeh zehar mera saath day ga. Aaj say har lamha yeh meray saath rahay ga. Dev kay siwa aur koee mujhay haath nahi laga sakta. I will give dev/raju one more chance and in the meanwhile I will try my level best to put karan and ameesha behind bars. And time will tell if he is dev or not.
The scene cuts, and then we see Kaajjal dressed in the most beautiful ruby red Saree with the most beautiful red ruby set anyone has ever worn. She is a complete picture of beauty, innocence, and simplicity. Nandani is with her, and everystep that kaajajl takes down that staircase is mesmerizing. Dev turns around and sees the love of his live walking down the stairs, with such beautiful grace. That wedding dress, o how I have longed to see you in this dress kaajjal, how I have longed to feel you as mine only, today you will be mine forever. O his heart is playing havocs to his senses, and he can give anything right now to just run and take this beautiful princess in his arms and hide her from the whole world. But he just smiles keeps looking at her. Kaajjal looks back at him, but this look, what is this look. Why is kaajjal looking at me like this. Why??????
And the episode ends. ……
Part 2
Kaajjal is taking slow and steady steps down the stairs and Dev's eyes are locked in her eyes. NT is looking at kaajjal with love in her eyes and praises in her heart for having such a beautiful daughter-in-law. Kaajjal's papa has love and contentment in his eyes. Nandani in smilling and looking at kaajjal with appreciation. But what about Kaajjal, her mind is playing havocs to her senses. She is stressed out, worried and confused.
Dev is lost in the eyes of his princess, and right at that moment her realizes something is wrong. He senses that tension in kaajjal and gets worried. He can immediately recognize something is wrong. After all he loves her so much that their eyes speak. He can sense that the love of his life is tensed about something, and right then he feels a hand on his shoulder, its Karan, "Where were you, I had been trying to call you for soo long. I was talking to you on phone and u disconnected." And there .… dev realizes, what phone, who disconnected. He looks at karan with a puzzled look, "when did u call," and karan goes, "wah wah, lost in your bulbul soo much that u forgot ur partner." And right there Dev realizes, he gave his jacket to kaajjala nd the cell was in it. O GOSH!!! Is that why kaajjal is giving me these strange looks, is that whats bothering kaajjal, is it that once again kaajjal doubts me. And he moves his fingers in his hair and looks away frustratingly. He asks karan what did u say, and tell dev what he said …. Damnit ….. he walks away from karan and starts walking towards kaajjal. He wants to talk to kaajjal, he wants to clearify it, he can sense it in her that something is wrong, and he has to talk to his love and give her this peace of mind, but its too late. Kaajjal is already sitting in the mandap and the prist is calling for Dev. Oh I want to talk to her before this marriage happens, I have to touch her to make her believe I am Dev, I don't want her to marry me with doubts in her mind. O God what shall I do. "comeon Dev, panditji is waiting for you" NT calls for him. And he has no other option that to silently move up and sit next to the one person he has loved sooo intensely and deeply. The one person who went beyond imagination to get his love back, the one person who changed destiny to get Dev back, one person who has loved me more than anyone is this whole wide world. And than the pandit starts the mantars. With every mantar, panditji gives an explanation of that mantar, and explains them the meaning of each phera.
First phera. With God as our guide, let us take the first step to live with honour and respect. Dev promises in his heart, kaajjal I will respect you and honor you all my life and kaajjal thinks in her heart, I am marrying him with a belief that he is my Dev, and so I will take this vows for Dev, and I promise Dev, I will respect you all my life and honor you and your love till eternity.
Second phera: Let us be happy and enjoy life. Let us walk together so we grow together in strength. Dev Promises in his heart, Kaajjal, I will give you every happiness in the world, and I will love you till eternity. With you I will spend the days of my life and will take every step with you and will grow old with you. you and your love are my only strength. Kaajjal promises in her heart to Dev, Dev I will love you and cherish you all my life and I promise to love you only. I will give you every happiness possible in this life and thereafter.
Third phera: let us share joys and pains togetherwith this dev promises, kaajjal your every pain is mine and my every happiness is yours. I will keep you safe in my heart and will never let any bad thing come close to you. You are mine and I will protect you, and love you for as long as i may live. I promise to love you forever my love, I promise. And kaajjal promises to Dev, I promise to be ur shadow in happiness and in distress and I promise to love you forever Dev. meri har khushi tum say, tum ho tu main hoon, warna mera koee wajood nahi.
And the remaining vows and shown in silence and the music starts playing in the background.
Kabhi kabhi meray dil main khayal aata hai
Kay jaisay tujh ko banaya gaya hai meray liyay
Tu ab say pehlay sitaroon main bas rahi thi kaheen
Tujhay zameen pay bulaya gaya hai meray liyay
Kabhi kabhi meray dil main khayal aata hai
Kay yeh badan yah nigahain meri amanat hain
Yeh gesuon ki ghani chaoo'n hai meri khatir,
Yeh hont aur yeh baahain meri amanat hain
Kabhi kabhi meray dil main khayal aata hai
Kabhi kabhi meray dil main khayal aata hai
And during the song they complete their phera's. pandit ji asks dev to fill dulhan's mang, and dev picks up the sindoor, and moves his fingers towards her forehead, once again there eyes lock, and at that one moment, kaajjal is lost in them. How can he not be my Dev, o he is my Dev, only my dev can look at me with such love and passion. O Dev I love you, I love you. And dev silently but assuringly fills her mang. The panditji then tells him to put mangalsutar in dulhan's neck and dev picks it up, and comes close to kaajjal, that one electrifying moment, when dev looks at her and moves his hands up towards her neck to put the mangalsutar on, his fingers touched her neck, and she is lost in the warmth of those fingers, she is completely mesmerized. Thousand thoughts crossed her mind at that one moment. She never imagined, these saath pheras, this sindoor and this mangalsutar can change a girl's life so dramatically. All of the sudden she wants to loose her self in Dev's arms; she looks at him and finds him looking at her while tying the mangalsutar and at that one moment, it feels as if the world has stopped. As if no one else exists, and its only dev and kaajjal, and the remaining part of the song starts playing in the background again, depicting what dev is thinking for kaajjala nd what kaajjal wants to give to her Dev.
Kabhi kabhi meray dil main khayal aata hai
Kay jaisay bajti hain shehnaiyaan si raahoon main
Suhaag raat hai ghungat utha rah hoon main
Simat rahi hai tu sharma kay apni baahon mai
Kabhi kabhi meray dil main khayal aata hai
Kabhi kabhi meray dil main khayal aata hai
Their eyes lock, they are lost in each other, in a world they both have created in their dreams, and they both want to share with each other. And then they hear panditji, "I now pronounce you husband and wife." And these words came as a shock to kaajjal. She never thought these words can be sooo powerful. For now she had attended others marriages and never thought how these words can impact a girl and can change her life for ever, but in her heart she knows she has to keep up her barriers, for many questions need answer before any further decisions are made.
