Dutta's den
The episode picks up from the point where Baji tells Dutta he felt looking at Naku's expression that she loves him. Dutta says , be quiet! you speak without thinking...
Kala's room
As expected Kala rounds up Supriya and Ravi to her room. Agitated she tells them off, I put myself at risk and helped you ! maybe I shouldn't have. Supriya defends , no Tai we were ready to run away, but don't know from where that Nakusha turned up! Kala sounds surprised, Nakusha? say that again.. Supriya repeats we were ready , but Nakusha spotted us .. and they give her the recount FB, of how Naku accosted them , Ravi explains he tried to bribe her, even pulled the gun at her , but she hauled them up to the guest room. Kala hears their tale and says, so.. Nakusha already knew that you were planning to elope? and she fouled your plan, and did you say Ravi ,that as far is Nakusha is concerned you have fled from here? Ravi says, yes. Kala says , it all makes sense now why Nakusha is stuck to Supriya like a leech...good that she's the only one who knows that you two were planning to escape from here, now this very thing is going to go against her... for the moment you two go from here and wait for word from me I'll tell you the next step...Kala tells them pensively.
Removing the haldi
Dutta sits in a white kurta and mustard dhoti for the cleansing ceremony. His mother in law begins.. and performs his arti .. Naku watches morosely from the side. Aye Sahib beams with pride. Family members from both sides smile as they look on. Kala dressed in black looks down from her balcony...as Dutta mother in law washes his feet, and wipes them dry with a cloth. Aye Sahib smiles down at her son and says, full of tender motherly love , with my own hands I had bathed you so many times when you were a child, but today ask me what I feel like as your mother? be happy .. she wipes a tear with her sari pallu. Kala looks down from her balcony as she watches her mother shower her love over Dutta ..she sneers, very soon theses tears of happiness will transform into tears of sorrow..and with her phone in her palm she moves away from the balcony. Supriya's mother bids Leela to tie a turmeric bangle around Dutta's wrist. Leela performs aarti before him and ties the thread bangle aound his wrist..
"Nakusha" , that's her name instructs Kala to someone on her phone. .. now listen to the job and write it, one car, one corpse , yes a body !, 5 litre kerosene, and make sure the car has a full tank of petrol... now you just name the price.. you'll get the price, and don't forget the name , Nakusha.. go and do the job.. and she disconnects the phone.
Downstairs, Roops repeats the ritual with Dutta . Babi too repeats the ritual then tells Naku to do the ritual. Naku is reluctant , and Aye Sahib calls her lovingly , come on Naku.. then she progresses towards him and washes his feet. She performs his arti and he looks at her eyes, with his narrow eyes.. wonders why she looks listless.. Kala , Babi, Leela Roops all look at a dull faced Naku. Kala watches much amused from the balcony and muses , everyone has taken off Bhau's haldi , now it's my turn..and she comes down the stairs like a black adder... and stands behind a bent Naku as she just finishes her arti.. Naku has FB of Supriya and Ravi , their plan to escape.. Supriya loving Ravi.. aren't you happy?.. Dutta asks her.. and she lowers her eyes and gives a tiny smile.. then looks up at him with a wider smile ,and he asks, why aren't you looking at me? and he peers into her eyes intently... and further asks , is everything alright? She nods and then dabs his feet dry with her chunni end. Dutta gives her one last look with a smile, and she gets up and moves back to stand beside her mother. Kala then starts the ritual , like a snake dressed in black with heavy black eye makeup.. she washes his feet with her two palms.. Supriya's mother wonders, on such an auspicious occasion why Kala is wearing a black sari?.. all look .. then Baji announces, now vahini 's haldi washing will take place ! Kala retorts back , vahini's ceremony will not take place here! that'll be at the old well, and you and Bhau are not needed there! Bhau will not be able to meet vahini till they are not married! she snubs him. Aye Sahib agrees yes! and Baji teases, Bhau how will you survive ?.. and Naku looks worried ..and Kala tells her brother , go now and Dutta leaves and the ceremony finishes.. all disperse.
The woman congregate to begin the next part of the ceremony .. removal of Supriya 's haldi. Kala joins the group. All present look to her as if she is in command...suddenly she asks, vahini your body guard can't be seen? without him you can't step out of the house really. Supriya remains silent and Naku speaks, Tai he's left, he said his mother was ill. Kala challenges, he's left ? by whose permission?.. Naku continues ,it was late at night so he told me and asked me to tell Saab. Kala lowers the bait with a crucial question , then now who will protect vahini? you?.. Naku takes up the challenge, and says, yes... she would. Kala snubs her, what do you think by acting brave a couple of times you have become BajiRao?. Aye Sahib intervened , ok leave it ,for the moment we all are enough to provide security to Supriya, Naku ! you stay behind and oversee the work being done here. Kala looks at Naku slyly, she knew Naku would insist on going.. Naku say's , Aye sahib I want to come as well, to look after Tai. Babi tells her off and Kala jumps in and says to Babi , kaki , don't tell her off let her accompany us, if she comes it'll be a help as well , isn't it Nakusha ?shall we leave vahini ?. Aye Sahib says, ok that's fine, but let's hurry up and leave now.. and they all leave for the old well.. Naku walks with Supriya and Kala watches all leave ,and then pause and thinks aloud about Naku , this is what I wanted that family here can see that you can't stay without Supriya even for a minute.. Naku! one day you'll regret that why did you insist on going to the old well.. because neither Bhau will understood, nor Aye Sahib , then Naku how will you understand Kalavati? and she leaves to join the rest of the group.
The old well
The site was already attracting women from the adjoining area. The pandit was already the chanting verses for the approaching ceremony. Dutta 's two people carriers screeched to a halt at the site. Family members disembark and Naku stays by Supriya 's side. Kala sees Naku and mocks in side , you carry on doing what your heart tells you to do , but eventually only what Kalavati wants will happen..
Footsteps on parched leaves on the soil move on hurriedly. Strange men hide around the trees and the growth. The women unaware move towards the well.. Kala suddenly starts to poison Supriya 's mother against Naku.. take a look at that Naku ! nothing escapes her eyes.. her eyes are like a hunting dog looking for it's prey! don't know if she's look after vahini or she's look for someone?.. you go there behind them.. Kala suggests.. full of double meanings.. Naku might be looking out for Ravi ? or other dangers..
Kala now walks with Supriya to the well , where water for her bath is being drawn in water vessels..pandit chants verses. Supriya sits down on a flat wooden stool. On the rocky crag surround around the well, a man looks down at the gathering.While the pandit performs the religious rites, the men surrounding the area, take up their position. Naku looks vigilantly around. Kala checks her wrist watch. Pandit after the puja ,instructs the women to begin washing off the haldi ritual. Women stand around her and start with her feet and then pour water over her head. Once it's finished , Kala tells Roops , go and get our vahini changed into dry clothes. Naku is concerned as she expected to help vahini. Kala looks at the time again. Roops takes Supriya, says. let's go vahini. but Naku follows them.. as she keeps looking left and right for any danger.. Kala grumbles to her mother, watch Aye Sahib! the way Naku sticks to vahini as if she is even endangered by us! Aye Sahib laughs and replies, a newly wed bride is most threatened by her sister in law! such is this relationship. Supriya is led to a spot where sarees are stretched high up around a posts of trees to make a cordoned place within which Supriya can change into dry sari . Roops brings back a changed Supriya to the well, where her mother puts jewellery on her.
High above a man watches the area below. Kala checks her watch. While putting her bangles on, Supriya gives Naku a sly look.Naku watches Supriya putting on her necklace .. the man creeps into the area and asks .. loudly is any one here called Nakusha? Supriya gives a sly smile ..thinking the time has come.. everyone is puzzled upon hearing Naku's name.. and Naku herself looks in confusion at the man.. the episode ends .. Hamlet53 ~ 16. 12. 13.
Precap next week.. how did you dare to come here? asks Kala , the man replies , Nakusha bai called me. Kala tells her off don't you know men are not allowed here?.. the man says I only came to say, that whatever Nakusha has asked , the arrangements for that have been done.
No surprise that Dutta dismisses Baji's utter nonsensical remark regarding Naku liking him.. so that's the end of the matter.. but Baji still keeps a look out for Naku .. like when she was washing off Dutta 's haldi.
Naku's bad days have began.. Kala is out to roast her alive. She was already on Kala's hit list every since she made a place for herself in PN after saving Dutta's life twice. Now she has dared to thwart Kala's plan to help Supriya and Ravi escape.. from now on Kala bad mouths Naku before the two mothers.. and also raises awareness towards Naku's avid interest in every move that Supriya makes. In this episode she stirs more suspicion towards Naku by the entry of these odd men who keep asking for Nakusha.. and hint towards arrangement.
Kala is using her stratagem .. not only is she ensuring she remains unblemished as always, but also warrants that Dutta is disgraced publicly , heartbroken.. and that Naku is proved to be the culprit in perpetrating and implementing Supriya 's escape.
It is a pleasant breather to come out of doors for this episode.. setting lends itself for a possible quick unnoticed getaway by Ravi and Supriya.
