SS is entertaining a couple, the parents of the girl he is looking forward to welcoming into his home as his next bahu, KN's beewi # 2 . He tells them that due to Kesar, KN's wife's inability to produce an heir for Takur Sajjan Singh KN is going to marry. He wants a grandchild. KN has already selected their daughter after looking at her photograph. SS brags that he has risen about all rungs of discrimination and duality of good and bad, big and small and caste. So it's a go from our side. Takurji, you are spinning a tale and you know it. Wow! Takurain can really mask her real personality so effortlessly. Dekho, how easily she sits regally, quiet as a church mouse and lets her mard do all the talking. Just then KN walks into the main hall cleaning his ears. Ugh! SS attempts to introduce him and KN drops a bomb right there KABOOM! "Bauji I don't want any shaadi, waadi". Senior Takurs are in shock. So are Kriya. Oblivious to the presence of the couple in the house SS rips into KN "What did you say? Have you gone mad? Are you conscious, all this time you were antsy to get married? Now in front of strangers you are humiliating me? You will disrespect the guests in your home?" Takurji, this is the run of the mill in your home, so why are you surprised by it? Notanki, hungama, diraama is the name of the game. As Krishna said the day all this chakkar stops is the day one should ask what's going on?
Remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: (1) finding the right person and (2) being the right person
KN answers matter of factly "I am not disrespecting anyone, I just don't want to get married". SS counters back "These are the parents of the girl who's photograph you chose. Are you looking to marry a fairy?" Interesting choice of words! Flashback'.. Krishna had referred to Prats as a "fairy" when he first talked about her to bauji during lunchtime. KN is adamant "Whoever the girl in the picture, I don't want to marry her and I am just not interested in marriage right now". SS explodes at him "you think we will considering your likes and dislikes. Listen to me carefully. You must to do as I say, you must get married! If not'..". Takurji, bullying your children is an outdated ploy to get your way, it isn't going to work, you might as well give it up.

Just then Krishna chimes in "if not what? Are you going to force your son? Strange man! If he changes his ways bec' of Prats why won't you let him? He doesn't want to get married, will you force him to get married? SS promises to create chaos. Krishna was right, you are a gajab notanki Takurji. No wonder your kids turn to diraama to get their way. Like father, like sons. He complains "My son is teaching me things all bec' of his mehraroo" KN seems very much at peace "Do whatever you have to do, I don't this marriage". Since when did KN take charge and force his parents to listen to him? Something's the matter with this guy and it doesn't look good. 😲 SS riles "Everyone is ready to sell my respect". He tells the couple he will talk to them later. The couple scoots out of there in a hurry😆. Who wouldn't after all the tirade in just a few minutes. They'd never want their daughter in that jungalee environment either. Looks like they can't get away fast enough.
The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off ~ Gloria Steinem
Krishna seems to have anticipated his bauji's next move. No need for speculation at all. Takurain watches in shock as Krishna stops SS from swinging his joota at KN's face. KN may just have let him do it too, esp. since it might remind him of Arusia and with his recent voyeuristic episode he seems to have made up his mind about his future. Takurain, cat got your tongue? She stands there blinking at the sight before her as if it's a surprise. Krishna tells SS "Stop picking your slippers in your hand and wear it on your feet". Krishna defends KN to SS "we have both now understood what is right and wrong. If the two brothers team up we will become too much for you. SS yells 😡 "Don't even think you can take on your father, Takur SS even in your dreams". He pushes Krishna and walks away. Takurain is offended at the way her two sons have treated her mard and she can't believe that KN has now joined the enemy camp leaving the senior Takurs on their own. Is that sly mind churning up new ideas? Probably!😕
By doubting we come to the truth ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Prats is excited as she approaches Kesar. "What happened to KN today that he is denying a second marriage"? Kesar is wary of KN's sudden change in behavior and doesn't trust it one bit. "Don't know when its' a snake and when it is rope. Don't know what he is up to. Don't know if I have to be happy or sad at his decision". Hey lady! You are one ball of confusion. Maybe if you start speaking your mind the feedback with help you sort out the confusion and doubts piling up in your brain. Prats gives Kesar a micro-mini baashan. "It's your love and trust, that are the cornerstones of marriage that changed him". Kesar is still unsure of it given it's the unpredictable KN they are talking about. Yet again she is privy to information about her husband's sleep talking and fantasizing about Arushi but she still is holds on to the information. Doesn't she see Arushi may be in trouble and forewarning Prats would be a good choice? She is one woman that is a mystery all around. What will it take to get her to think and act before things get explosive around her and result in disaster that could have been averted. Would it take a disaster of gigantic proportion before she will disclose pertinent information or is she incapable of venturing beyond her selfish motives and need for love.
When in doubt, predict that the present trend will continue.

Back in Kriya's Paradise, Krishna is impatiently waiting for Prats. He wants to know why she'd left him all alone as he had been anticipating her return😳. Prats asks "Can't you be alone even for a little while?" Obviously not! He did say he prefers to be bound to your pallu at all times. Baba, listen up! Give her some breathing room. Don't' forget "familiarity breeds contempt". Prats has just come back after meeting with Kesar. She tells Krishna "I don't understand how KN has suddenly changed his mind about remarriage". Krishna showers his praises "it's because of you Pratigya. If you can change me you can change every member of this family". Prats mood changes to one she grew up with ......the pareshaan bug has bit her again.... and Krishna wants to know "what's the matter, why all the tension?" Prats tells him she is sure it wasn't SCAM's bhabhi at the mall with him. Krishna wants her to forget about SCAM and tells her to give him her undivided attention instead. He notices she is still preoccupied and explains "not everyone loves you like me. If you still have doubts why don't you just call and confirm the story". Sound advice. For a girl who prides herself for standing up for the truth, why doesn't she come up with this simple solution to put her dilemma and doubts to rest? It's Detective Krishna to the rescue as usual.

Prats calls Nandhini to check out Aman's story to Arushi. Nandhini pauses long enough before she answers, raising suspicion in Prats's mind. Nandhini bhabhi covers up for Aman and lies that it was indeed she who had accompanied SCAM to the mall but it was too bad she didn't get to meet Prats there.. Prats is still not fully convinced. Concluding her call Nandhini queries Aman why he asked her to lie to Pratigya about being at the mall with him? The lieyer spins her another lie to cover up the previous one "I was meeting Arushi at the computer class bec' we had plans to go the mall. Arushi didn't want her family to find out. Don't know how Prats saw the two of us there. Good thing she didn't see Arushi's face. That's why I asked you to lie. Or Arushi would have got into trouble at her house. Now you understand the problem". That's the best he could do? What a lame story! Nandhini seems to be a sucker buying into SCAM's story "Oh so you can't wait until the wedding?" she teases and leaves the room. Oh Mathur bhabhi, if only you knew he had played you for a fool wonder what you would have done. We all know that Prats is going to strip his mask publicly for his shenanighans. How would you feel when you realize you were an accomplice to your lying cheating devar. Relief at having pulled the wool over his bhabhi's eyes SCAM's masked expressions changes from a smiling fool to a scheming lieyer as he schemes his next course of action. He is enjoying the thrill of victory, little does he know that it's the calm before the storm.
The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool." ~ Stephen King
Secrecy, once accepted, becomes an addiction" ~ Edward Teller
This lieyer is turning out to be one gajab conartist! In a matter of three days he has lied to Prats about being in Civil Lines giving her the perfect alibi of being at her maike's for a visit which is corroborated by Nainaji, his inadvertent staunch supporter. Then he gets caught at the mall getting cosy and intimate with his ma'am but makes a hasty escape before Prats could meet them. He preemptively calls Arushi to weave a story before Prats can tell them the truth. Once again Prats is pushed back with Arushi and Saxes taking Aman's story over their own child and sibling. Today, again, for the third time, she sees SCAM with the same woman in a hospital hallway calming her down. What story is he going to spin to the Saxes convincing them his word is the truth and their daughter's is all but a fairy tale! He is one slick operator, a conartist who is wrapping himself in his black robe and twisting the story to his advantage. He found the perfect family of suckers who fall for his fake charm hook, line and sinker. It's all going to blow up in their faces big time. KABOOM! A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and this dude is a threat to the Saxes. What a sinister mind that would manipulate the situation for his own ends while taking this sucker of a family for a ride? And the Saxes thought that the Takurs were dangerous folks? Shamu and family, welcome to the real world of the dangerous and manipulative educated ones, the ones who hide amongst you to fleece you of your trust and self-respect. This is the world you are proud to be a part of and flaunt in the faces of the less educated or uneducated relatives.
I think it's some kind of stomach bug ~ Shawn Almond
Krishna has a stomach bug and is nervously clutching his stomach in pain. Looks like he must have had some of the besan ki halwa at his sasural y'day that did a number on him and left him with a stomachache. Prats imitates him the way he often pacifies her when she is upset, in a teasing tone😳 "tell me what is wrong, if you don't tell me, are you go tell some neighbor?"😆 Krishna promises to tell her on the condition she doesn't laugh out loud. Prats promises but ends up laughing out loud anyways😆. He refuses to go a doctor bec' he hates that they'd stick needles in him. He confesses "Honestly I can deal with the largest swords but am scared of a little needle😲". Prats assures Krishna like one would a little child and takes him to the doctor's office. Whoever said it, said it right, if you know how to handle a child, you can handle the husband too. Big babies!😛
Sometimes all it takes to change a life is to decide which beliefs do not serve you and to literally change your mind about those beliefs ~ Joy Page
Takurain wants to know why KN refused to get married. "You have any idea how you have made your bauji and me feel bad. Why are you bent on grinding our dreams of a potha into the ground? Has your wife done some black magic on you then let me know". Takurain what is your fascination with witches and black magic all the time😕? It's getting stale with you trying to pin all your problems on your bahus. You wouldn't be in this position if you hadn't ordered this big thug son of yours to beat up his wife to teach her a lesson. KN plays it cool "No such thing. There is another magic going on with me. Let you know later, it's not going to make a difference, just keep your mind cool". That didn't sound like KN more like Krishna. When did he turn into a cool suave operator? This should ring an alarm in everyone's minds. But even Prats seems to miss the warning signals here. Did that voyeuristic moment in a drunken state unscramble his brain pathways? One wonders if this is a good thing or cause for concern wherever he goes. He promises to give bauji and her an army of junior Sakthi Singhs. He walks away leaving a Takurain wondering what the heck he is up to this time and what had gotten into him.😕😲
He was caught red-handed. It was what it was. From that point on, it was just a matter of mitigating it ~ Jeff Cario
Prats is looking around standing in the hallways of the doctor's office while Krishna makes a dash to the bathroom when she spots SCAM once again with the mysterious woman and he is heard whispering "Don't worry. I am here, everything will be alright". Prats looks at them visibly shocked. Now that's three days in a row. A hat-trick?😲
Preview: He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers" ~ Charles Peguy
Krishna tells Prats "You are so scared to tell them. Imagine what happens if you don't tell them the truth on time, then she will live her whole life crying and fearing". That sounds more like the life Kesar has been living with KN all these years. Is this a hint about where Arushi's life is headed even if she doesn't marry SCAM? Straight to KN's doorstep?😲 A determined Prats makes her next Pratigya "Before it is too late, I have to tell my family the whole truth. Before anything goes wrong with Arushi, I will bring the real face of Aman in front of everyone". Looks like a public spectacle has already been booked for. It's just a matter of finalizing the time and place when SCAM's pale mask is stripped before everyone and anyone in Allahabad. Are Mr. & Mrs. Mathur destined to be caught in the midst of public tamaasha one after another thanks to their sons.
