24/2/2011Akriti's fake accident
The episode starts with Naina with her assistants, planning for the wedding. She tells the boy, whom she calls Akul, to make flowers which look expensive, but the material itself need not be actually so. She proposes to them a brain storming session. In the meantime, she gets a telephone call and as the network is not good, she goes out.
Just them the girl assistant Seema, says that the material is less, and Naina tells her to take it from above the shelf. She is ready to go. Just then Akriti hears the honking of Daksh's car, and she knows he is outside. She plans her next course of action to get out of Naina's clutches. She calls the girl, in a loud voice, that she will do the needful, as Seema is not feeling well.
She drags a chair to stand on, to reach the material on the shelf. As Akriti is trying to get on the chair the girl shouts at her to take care. Akriti sees outside the window her cousin and makes her move. She stretches her hand, and then slips from the chair and falls down; the curious thing is Seema, just watches on, rather than hold the chair.

What was going on in her mind is any one's guess. As the chair trips, the girl shouts a warning, "Akriti", but she is down.and cries aloud, and the result is everyone from the courtyard come in to see Akriti on the ground.
Naina too comes back and says: "Seema, kya hua?" and she tells her that Akriti was trying to take the material and the chair slipped and she fell, and she does not tell more, as all of Akriti's relatives were there, and she was an outsider. Naina guesses what had happened, but does not say anything.

Daksh, the savior, takes control, and asks why she had to climb on the chair, when she had a recent surgery, and Akriti puts the blame on Naina, saying she had to abide by the wishes of her boss, lest she be kept back in the office as was done on the previous day. Daksh looks at Naina angrily, and the women, are wondering what the real reason was, as they have full confidence in Naina, that she would not ask Akriti to do this job. Naina just keeps her cool while Daksh starts accusing Naina, a lawyer accusing someone, on heresay ! Naina asks Akriti when she had asked her to do the work, as she had asked Seema to do the same. Daksh's favorite cousin lies to blame Naina, but he who can not tolerate lies, believes her. She aggravates the situation by prompting Daksh to prevent her from working for Naina. He takes her home. He moves her out saying she will no longer work here.
Daksh brings the food for his cousin, and she is waiting in anticipation, and as he calls her name, she pretends to suffer, so as to get sympathy from him. He spoon feeds his beloved cousin, who makes a sad face. When he asks if she is in a lot of pain, she nods, and asks whether he should call the doctor. Vibha tells him to go ahead, and then Akriti stops him. This makes Vibha suspicious of the girl. Akriti's mother too senses that something is fishy. It is surprising that the lawyer does not sense it, in face of his aggressive opposition to the paying guest, Naina. She gets on his nerves. Any thing which puts her down, is good for Daksh. The second in command, Patwardan, declared that Akriti will not work for Naina What the first in command, will do when he comes from the Bank, is yet to be seen !
In the Office, Seema tells Naina, that Akriti did it deliberately. She forced herself to climb on the chair and get the material. When Seema blames Akriti, Naina does not take her side, and brushes it aside, as an accident. She has her own reason. She sends her home, as she is not feeling well.
Vibha comes to see her sister in law, and wants to tell her about her suspicions. She tells her that Akriti might have misunderstood Naina, as she was very much interested in giving back her self confidence, and making her stand on her own feet. Just then Akriti calls her mother, and she leaves to go up.
Akriti complains of pain, and asks her mother to apply balm, but she tells her that she has to go to the market to bring the rations, and that she should go down and make tea for her father, before he comes from work. She ignores Akriti;s complaints, and accuses her of foul play, to get out of Naina's office. She tells her that as a mother, she knows her daughter well, even if she fools the whole world, she will not be able to take her for a ride. Akriti blames her for being like her father. Her mother tells her that she is fine, and if she does not want to work for Naina, and in reply, the girl, removes her blanket and stands and tells her mother that she trusts this guest more than her own daughter. So, the mother gives her an ultimatum; in exchange for working for Naina, she can very well do all the housework, and help her in the kitchen since nothing is wrong with her which she proved by standing up straight without pain !
In the courtyard, the senior Patwardan, suggests that the assistant could take sick leave, and Daksh interrupts,"nothing doing. She is not going to work with Naina." It is strange, that only two men, Kaka Patwardan and Daksh are autocratic in their outlook, and now Akriti wants to gain patronage of the younger autocrat. His father is humbled by this young man, when he defies him, and wants his way to be accepted. He walks away with downcast eyes.
When the men are adamant, Vibha asks Naina what she wanted to say about Akriti, and she tells her that she understands everything about her niece. In turn Naina asks if Akriti's mother will understand, and Akriti's mother replies that she can.
In the Office, the next day, work is going on as usual with Akul, Seema and Naina.
As ther scene ends, a person is shown entering the bedroom of Naina, and picking keys from her hand bag. There is total darkness in the room, and the upshot of this is to be watched in the next episode.
