Its gotten dark outside and Malini and Avinash are in the house. Rimjhim, Prem and the police watch through an open door from the side of the house. There Malini and Avinash are standing and Avinash is asking her where Megha is. Avinash tells her that Megha is somewhere feeling sad and scared! He begs her telling her that she raised Megha like her daughter so she cant be this cruel to her. Malini tells him that shes no fool and she knows that he wont just come with her somewhere far away. She says she also knows that he loves Megha more then anyone..she says she loves Avinash more then anyone! Meanwhile, Rimjhim, Prem and cops shout ''Malini!!'' from outside. Malini turns around to see them outside so she shuts the door quickly and stands there thinking what to do next. Avinash tells her that she has no choice but to tell him where Megha is..because if she tells him then he'll let her go and wont allow the cops to arrest her. Malini thinks alittle and says ''you wanna know where Megha is..come with me''. She takes him to the kitchen. She tells Rama and Ramu (servants) to leave. Avinash asks why she brought him to the kitchen. She locks the door and rips the rubber gas pipe loose and threatens him ''i know you'l never be mine! But i wont let you be anyone elses either! if we can be together we can die together''. She gives him a twisted smile. Avinash is very agitated and tells her not to do anything drastic and put the pipe back in its place. He tells her that he'l go anywhere she wants. He tries to get closer but shes flips out and has the matches in her hand and threatens to blow the place. He backs away. This continues for a while..whilst Rimjhim is looking out the kitchen window crying ''Avinash! Malini!''. Malini finally lights the match and the WHOLE cottage blows up in flames and burns. Rimjhim screams and shouts and runs towards it (i think the blast blew her away from the window). Prem holds her back. She screams ''Avinash!!'' and then faints but Prems there to hold her. The house burns. The police and firemen scatter about doing their job. Prem is trying to wake a blacked out Rimjhim. Inspector Girish tells Prem that the blast was pretty big and there probably arnt any survivors. Prem looks on saddened. Rimjhim awakes and shouts for Avinash, she looks wasted from the strain. Prem calls Yashoda and tells her that things are bad here and Rimjhims scared and so she should come here straight away. Back at home, Yashoda leaves to go. Iravati asks her where shes going. She says shes going to where Rimjhim went, because Rimjhim is scared. Iravati tells her to take someone with her but she refuses and leaves. Then Kaveri comes along and tells her that Babuji's health has gotten really worse all of a sudden. Iravati goes to the bedroom to find Babuji coughing and Bua and Khan trying to help him by giving him water and making him comfortable. Kaveri says that doctor suggested that he go to a nursing home for awhile. Iravati tells him to go the nursing home eventhough Babuji refuses. She tells Kaveri and Iravati to go with him. Yashoda arrives at the scene and Rimjhim is in tears and distress...she cant even talk, all she can manage is 'Bhabhi..Avinash...Avinash...''. Then she cries on Yashodas shoulder. Yashoda cant understand whats happening. Then Inspector Girish tells Prem that they found two burnt corpses in the wreckage..a man and a woman. Yashoda listens whilst holding Rimjhim. The inspector holds up a chain and says this was found too. Yashoda and Prem look shocked. Rimjhim looks at it with blank pain. Yashoda says thats Avinashs chain. Then Inspector Girish says that she should identify the body. Prem and Yashoda hold Rimjhim as they take her to the body. Someone lifts the cover..and Yashoda bursts into horrid tears, Prem looks at it with a brave sadness and Rimjhims face is blank as shes too desensitised from the pain shes feeling. (We as viewers dont see the corpse but apparently its badly burnt up..and its presumed to be Avinash). Rimjhim and Yashoda arrive home. Iravati is sitting there in her wheelchair. She asks them ''what happened, wheres Avinash and Megha? what happened????'' (shes more asking Yashoda then Rimjhim). Rimjhim falls on her lap. Iravati just looks and nudges her abit and says ''eh ladki, what happened, wheres Avinash, wheres Megha?''. Rimjhim just cries. From Iravati's expression..Iravati doesnt know whether to comfort her or what. Yashoda then rubs the sindoor from Rimjhims head and Iravati understands and shes shocked. Yashoda cries harder. Then Iravati cries and Yashoda hugs her. Everyones crying.
PREVIEW Iravati tells Rimjhim that Babuji wont be able to bear the death of two sons. So she gives Rimjhim sindoor..and Rimjhim takes it.
