Seems like everyone and their dog know about Rudra's mother and his dukh bhari dastaan. 😲
Rudra tries to tell her they're finished. Friendship ... and everything else they shared.
Friendship?! 😲 Really, Rudra!!! That was not the word Laila was looking for!
As expected, Laila doesn't take it very kindly. Rudra will never be Paro's, if Laila has anything to do with it. Even though it seems that Rudra has given Paro all the rights he never gave Laila.
Rudra calls Laila 'Paro' ... she is not amused at all. Paro has taken over Rudra's mind completely.
Rudra is shell shocked ... he cares for Paro?! Laila's words echo in his mind as he returns to his room. The way he touches Paro, cares for her ... protects her ... he has given Paro the right to claim haq over him ...
And I wonder where all the guests for the 'haldi' suddenly disappeared ... Laila was making quite a racket, but no one noticed.
Mohini plots and plans with unknown girl ... Maithili barges in and wonders what unknown girl is doing with Paro's shaadi ka joda.
Unknown girl, Devyani, is dispatched to grease and polish Dilsher's room, ready for the fire.
Tejawat's men pack the money and one basket with fake guns. All ready for the mandir meeting.
Rudra remembers his mother reciting a poem of victory ... and then his threat of court martial. He cries over his uniform ... is this the last time he can wear it?
The brothers enter ... Dilsher ready to taunt him again, Danveer reassures Rudra he will wear his uniform again.
Paro ... Sanaya looking beautiful, and nowhere close to a gol guppa as she claimed, although she did look somewhat close to a Christmas tree 😛 ... wonders what is happening in her life, and what should she do. She remembers her old life ... her first wedding ... and Thakurain maasa's words ...a girl leaves behind her old life to enter the new one, carrying only memories.
And she remembers the end of her old life as she knew it ... Rudra killing her husband .. her village disowning her ... everything she held dear, lost to her ... where has life brought her?
Rudra wonders ... if she doesn't sign, he will ... he will ...
But Paro said she will not sign the papers, nor will she marry him ... so what will she do?
Helpless ... torn ... scared of what the future holds ... Rudra stands at a crossroads in his life, with no way to turn.
Paro doesn't know what she will do ... she will kill herself, but she cannot let this happen ...
And she asks her Bholenath ... is this the path you have chosen for me? Or have you abandoned me completely ?
Rukmini flutters in ... every time Rukmini enters her life, a storm follows ... and Paro bids her, never come again ... because after today, the old Paro will die.
Helpless ... torn ... scared of what the future holds ... Paro stands at a crossroads in her life, not knowing which way to turn.
A helpless Rudra stands once again at Paro's door ... and begs her to sign the papers.
An angry, upset Paro pushes him away ... she will not sign, she will not marry him ... she would rather die.
But her bangle, the one gifted by her mother-in-law, entangles and binds her to him. And he holds her hand ... and sets her free.
She refuses to sign ... then in 3 hours, she will be captive for life ...
Or else, she will be free for life ... her Bholenath will decide ... he is her protector ... she has left it all to him.
Paro, Paro ... your Bholenath has sent your protector, and he stands in front of you ... it is you who doesn't recognise him.
Mohini sees Rudra leave for the temple, and gives him a sweet smile.
Rudra dev ... in your confusion between the papers, the mela, Tejawat, Paro and your wedding, you forgot to take into account, your poisonous kaaki-sa.
Mohini happy, things are going according to plan. So she proceeds to delay Paro by tearing her dupatta ...
Now Dilsher will see 'Paro' before she sets fire to his room, Rudra is off to the temple to meet Tejawat, and Tejawat will organise to pick up Paro once Rudra is safely dead.
