And a small PaRud scene to start off the episode ... which went pretty much as expected.
That scene was cute and hilarious ... Rudra going all ballistic about the missing Paro, feels his saans return to normal as he sees her stroll down the corridor perfectly safe and sound ... first checks her out, much to Paro's bewilderment ... 'are you all right? Fever? Pulse?'
And when she snatches her hand away wondering what's wrong with him, he belatedly remembers to be rough and gruff ... 'where were you?! Tell me where you go ... everywhere!'
Paro ... 'bathroom' ... very soft, subdued ... embarrassed.
Rudra still roaring, 'yes, tell me everywhere you go ...'
Paro ... even softer, with the faintest delicate touch of incredulity in her voice ... 'bathroom?'
And Rudra suddenly realises what he's saying and splutters incoherently, before muttering something about having to watch out for her.
Paro says softly 'nothing will happen to me, after all you're looking after my safety.'
Rudra almost melts ... did she actually say something nice about him? 😲
Paro sets him straight on that one ...'after all, I'm, your witness, and you need me to prove your lies to be the truth.'
Paro baisa is made of very stern stuff indeed. Rudra has nothing in reply ... after all, she's only parroting his own words back to him. But for Rudra, the lines are blurring very rapidly between captive prisoner and affianced bride ...
So Mohini and Sumer captured the stalker after all ... have to give them credit for brains ... this was Rudra's job, if he could get rid of distracting inconveniences like Laila. And Sumer and Mohini have no trouble in getting the required information out of the stalker ... and the required name ... Param Singh Tejawat, who is like Paro's adopted father.
Mohini doesn't seem to believe Tejawat is looking for Paro out of fatherly concern ... how right she is! 😆
Mala meets Maithili ... almost meets Rudra ... hides from Mohini ... with a whispered 'forgive me, Jija ...'
More and more mystifying ... Mala does not hold any grudges against Mohini? So why is Mohini so vicious against Mala?
Mala meets Danveer, who rushes her away before she can see Rudra ... 'not the right time bhabhisa ...'
I'm beginning to get suspicious about Danveer now. When is his right time going to come?
Mala bumps into Dilsher and knocks him down ... and helps him up ... so she's met most of the family tonight. And she rushes off.
Mohini takes the opportunity to get in a few more taunts ... Dilsher fights back ... and Mohini tells him how much she hated her younger, more perfect sister. So Mohini hated Mala, but Mala seems to be completely unaware of the hate.
Rudra tells Laila to leave ... Laila takes the opportunity to make a few more threats ... she will not let this wedding happen.
Rudra does try to tell her again that things are not what they seem, but he can't tell her the truth ... of course, Laila is not willing to listen. For her, she and her feelings and her supposed betrayal come first, overriding everything else, including any compulsions Rudra might have. She loves Rudra, ergo, Rudra owes her.
Rather a self-centred lady, is our Laila.
Thakurain returns home ... to meet waiting Tejawat. And more secrets spill out from her ... about her son. Tejawat is surprisingly loving and understanding ... so apparently Mala told him nothing of her past when she came to him? And he's a loving husband, he will take her to meet her son ...
Only problem is, the son turns out to be his sworn enemy. And as expected, his love for his Thakurain doesn't extend to loving her progeny, especially not if he has his own axe to grind with them. For Thakursa, Thakursa comes first.
Precap - Mohini making a deal with the devil ... take Paro, with my blessings ... and in return ... Rudra.
What about Rudra?
So now both Paro and Rudra are in danger ... Tejawat knows their whereabouts to the T.
