Teacherji continues her lecture that child marriage is still a bane for the society and these children doent understand the value of marriage. For them its just like another festival when they get new clothes and so much celebrations. They doesn't realise these child marriages influence their future lives badly. She wishes that Anandi doesn't suffer the side effects of child marriage. Massa rubbishes these and leaves.
Bhairon ask Anandi to show her room and ask Sumitra to get some snacks for teacherji. Sumitra ask Anandi to show her books and to clear any doubts . Teacherji asks her if maths is still her favourite subject and ask where her books are. Anandi asks how is she.
Teacherji gifts Anandi a pen of hers. Anandi leaves the room for some work. Theacherji gets up to roam around the room but her sari gets stuck to something and she checks it. She finds a chunni under the cot and takes it and the ashes and the books falls down and she is shocked.
Gehna's mother requests massa to let her come to her maayka for her delivery. Massa says no as she will be better taken care of here. Teacherji brings the ashes wrapped downstairs and ask the family if anyone is unhappy with Anandi's studies. Everyone says no all are happy. She shows them the ashes and ask what is this. They calls for Anandi and she says these books were accidently burnt by her. Teacherji ask her to come up with the truth. Anandi doesn't reply.
Gehna stand up and says those were burnt purposely. And that massa was responsible for this. Massa defends herself. Gehna says she had seen Anandi's sufferings with these burnt books and she forces Anandi to tell the truth. Anandi finally confesses that dadisa asked her to burn the books and all are super shocked.
Massa is angry at teacher and says that she was always opposed to DIL studying and she will never change that. she is she , whatever the circumstances and will never change and leaves. Basanth follows her. Bhairon apologises to teacherji on massa's behalf. She says no need to apologise as he is doing nice by allowing her to study.
(Thanks uma for the above update.......i am continuing with the rest of the update)
She further states that to bring abt a change in the society, the family members have to change their outlook first. Also that every house can have an anandi - be it as daughter or DIL. She tells bhairav that, just giving her books and allowing her to study is not enough. he shld also take care that her books are never burnt in any circumstances. She tells anandi that she shld never leave her studies for anyone cos if she has the support of stuides with her, she can live without anyone's support. Dadisa is hearing all these from upstairs and is very angry. teacher hugs anandi and leaves. bhairav apologises to kajan singh, but he says that there is no need for that, cos bhairav treats anandi like his own daughter and thats more than enough for them. They too leave. maasa is still watching all these from upstairs and is very upset.
anandi's parents are going on a horse cart. bahgo says that all these are for big people. they r middle class and so have to live according to that. kajan says that there is nothing wrong in studying and that we have to change according to the times. When that teacher had created a big issue during anandi's marriage,we had thought that she is our enemy but today, i feel whatever she said is right. bhago still doesn't agree and says that studies are not important but taking care of the kitchen is. kajan agrees that she has to take care of her responsibilies but she has got a very good saasra. so she wldn't have much trouble there. Bhago is also happy that she got a good saasra but she is worried on dadisa's behaviour to anandi
Sumitra gives gifts to gehna's parents. Gehna tells her sisters to learn more songs from anandi, the next time they come. Gehna's mother tells her to take care of herself and her father says her that she is very lucky to get such a saasra and take care that she doesn't hurt them. Sumitra says that gehna have always taken more care of everyone in their house. And if she has opposed for something , it is always against something wrong. gehna says that whatever teacher has said that today , that applies for all of us. whatever happens, they shld never stop the studies of her sisters. She cldn't fulfill her dreams of studying but she doesn't want her sister's dreams also to be incomplete. gehna notices that her sister is sad and asks abt it. her father says that its bcos she is going away from her sister. gehna still feels something is wrong. she again says her parents that they shldn't stop the studies of her sisters They take leave.
Bhairav and sumitra are in their room. bhairav is worried abt maasa's behaviour. basant comes there and tells sumitra that he wants to talk to bhairav alone. basant asks bhairav of why he humiliated maasa in front of everyone. bhairav agrees to it, but says that whatever maasa did, he was not able to control himself. basant says that they cld have talked abt it later , when all guests have left. bhairav again questions abt maasa's behaviour to anandi. basant interrupts n says that whatever happened has happened but from today nothing shld be more important than the peace in this house and maasa's honour.
Basant goes to his room. he tells gehna that he didn't like the way maasa was insulted today. gehna says that she only said the truth. basant says that she cld have said that to him when they were alone. they cld have taken care of it in the family itself. why did she have to create such a big scene in front of everyone. she asks him if he has ever thought what anandi might have gone thru when maasa did all that to her. she says that she has seen anandi silently suffering without telling anything to anyone. basant says that he understands that anandi suffered but he is talking abt maasa now, the humiliation that she went thru. anandi is a kid, she will forget all these in few days. gehna asks if he is taking anandi's suffering so lightly cos she is a kid or cos she is the DIL of the house. basant says that he didn't mean that but gehna interrupts that he needn't tell anything more. She got all her answers. basant looks shocked and then goes out.
message : illiteracy is the main reason for child marriage.
precap : maasa is asking gehna if she is satisfied now. gehna says that they was nothing like that in her heart. maasa asks then why she opened her mouth in front of everyone. she got more than what she deserved so she has started eating her head and forgot abt the food, clothing and jewellary that she got. gehna says that she doesn't feel she did anything wrong by saying the truth and that she will continue to do so in future
