Guman:Danny's soul mate Kumari?My foot.Never.I will never let that happen.
Kalika had an evil smile on her face.
Guman rushed to Laxminandan:Do you know what is happening in your sons' life?Saras got engaged to Kumud.
L:I came to know that.Vidhya Chathur had informed me that.
Guman was shocked:Then why did't you tell me that?
L:You are angry with Saras for accusing you of destroying his mother's life.Right?That's why I hid it from you.By the way how did you know about it?
G:That is not important.Why did you not attend Saras' engagement?
Laxminandan was very upset:Because my son hates me and he does'nt want me to attend his engagement.Let him be happy in my absense.
G:No Laxminandan.We need to go there.
L:Guman?
G:After all Saras is our son however he blames us.Don't you want to see your son getting married to Kumud whom you admire?
Laxminandan became emotional:But.But I am an unlucky father Guman.
G:No...don't think like that.We should go there.
He was confused.
Guman thought:This is Dugbha's trap.She wants to take revenge on me by trapping my son Danny through her daughter Kumari.I will not let Danny fall into that trap.
The next day...
Kumari's face blossomed seeing Danny.She blushed remembering their confession of love.Danny showed her a red rose.
Kuma:Danny,this red rose...?
D:You don't like red rose?
Kuma:I love it?
D:Then this is for you.
Kuma:Really?
D:I brought this for you only.
Kuma:Thank you so much Danny.
She tried to take it from him.
D:No no...I won't give it to you like that.Then?
Danny adorned her hair with the red rose.
She smiled.
D:Now you look very pretty.
She blushed.
Kusum served tea to everyone.When she stood before Snny with tea her heart beat fast.He looked at her face.She felt something different when his eyes fell on her.She could feel her heart beat.
She thought:Why do I feel different when Sunny looks at me?
She kept looking at his eyes.
Sun:Can I?
Suddenly Kusum came back to senses and brought the plate closer to him.
Sunny took the tea from her plate.
Sun:Thank you Kusum.
She just smiled.
Kusum went to her room.
Kus:Really...I have never felt like this before.When I see his eyes why do I get lost?Is it nt love?
She blushed.
Desai family was shocked to see Laxminandan and Guman at the verandah.Saras fumed with anger.
S:Why did you both come here?
Vidhyachathur:Saras,control yourself.Our culture is to respect the guests.So we will treat Laxminandan and Guman very well.Please don't create a scene.
Laxminandan:Saras beta...it was my wish to see you married to Kumud.Otherwise I would not have come.I want to see you happy.
S:Stop this drama.
L:This is not drama Saras.We will leave the moment you get married.
Vidhya:Saras...Till the wedding happens please be calm.
S:Ok...but Kaaka...I am silent only for you.
Everyone was relieved.
Saras left the room.
Guman caressed Danny:Danny...
Danny removed her hand from him.
D:Don't touch me mom.
Guman was shocked:Beta...
D:Now I know what you did to bhaiyya.Because of you bhaiyya lost his innocent mom.You don't deserve pardon mom.
Danny went away.Guman was shattered.
Dughba went near her and smirked:Because of your cunning nature even your own son hates you Guman.This is God's punishment for destroying a family's happiness.
Guman stared at Dugbha:Don't think I failed Dugbha.Mother and son fight.But they also unite.
Dugbha did not care.
Guman went near Kumari:Kumari...heard that you broke up with Umesh and has found a few boy friend.
Kumari was shocked to know that Guman knew this.
G:Umesh was a wrong choice.And again don't make a wrong choice.If so you will cry again.Understood?
Kumari shivered:Yes.But how do you know that I am in love again?
Guman smiled:Guman will come to know all wrong things.
Kumari's lips shivered:Do you know with whom I am in love?
G:May be or may be not.
Guman walked off.
Kumari was confused:Guman aunty is so confusing.Can't understand what is going on in her mind.
While walking Guman saw Kalika smiling at her.
Kal:Hi...I am Kalika.
G:So you are the one who rang me up.
Kal:Yes.
G:Anyways thank you for informing me everything.Otherwise I would not have been able to come here on time.
Kal:So what is your plan Gumanji?To break Saras-Kumud's marriage like before?
G:I feel you are my well wisher.So I am telling you frankly.Whether Saras marries Kumud or not has become secondary for me as my main wish to create differences between Laxminandan and Saras has been fulfilled.Saras will never accept his father.But now my main focus is on Danny.My son...that wretched Saras has poisoned him and turned him against me.I cannot tolerate it.I want Danny back.And I will never let Danny and Kumari unite.I would have tolerated if he had chosen any other girl.But this Kumari...my biggest enemy Dugbha's daughter...I can't tolerate it.
Kalika smiled:Gumanji,I will always support you and help you.
Guman smiled:Thank you.
Guman saw Kumud on the way.She gave a poisonous smile to Kumud.
G:Heard that you and Saras are going to tie knot soon.All the best wishes.
Kumud:Thank you.And Gumanji...one more thing.Last time you tried to separate me from Saras.This time don't try to do that.Because you will taste the bitterness of failure as I and Saras are inseparable.
Guman smirked:Whether you marry him or not I don't care Kumud.Anyways I am sad that my step son Saras got only a widow to be his wife.
Kumud was hurt.
Suddenly Saras appeared:Don't dare to say a word against my Kumud...if so there won't be anyone worse than me.Did you hear Mrs.Guman Vyas?
Guman was shocked about his reaction.Kumud gave a victorious smile to Guman.
She thought:Why should I waste time on talking to them?My main intention is to separate Danny from the Desai family especially from Kumari.
Guman left.
Saras:Kumud,don't talk to her.She is a poisonous snake.
K:But I have become so strong by your love that no poison can hurt me.
They both smiled at each other.
Kumud passed by Laxminandan's room and saw him weeping.
K:Why are you weeping Kaka?Because Saras hates you.It's the result of your deed only.You cheated on Saras' mother and he lost his mother.
L:No Kumud.I swear by my sons.I never cheated on Saraswati.I was an admirer of Guman as I loved her dance a lot.But there was nothing wrong in our relationship.
Kumud was shocked.
L:And I had never seen Saraswati's suicide note before Saras showed it to me.Till then I did'nt know why Saraswati committed suicide.I don't even know how Saras got that suicide note.
Kumud found it strange.She was confused.
She thought:What to believe and whom to believe?Badi maa might help me.
Kumud discussed it with Dugbha.
K:Trust me Badi Maa.I saw honesty in Laxminandan kaaka' eyes.He is not lying.Then what went wrong between him and Saraswati Kaaki?
D:Kumud...if you think he is telling the truth no doubt that it was Guman who played in between them.
Kumud was shocked:Badi Maa!
D:I am sure Kumud.Only Guman can play dirty games.
K:Oh!If we get proof we will be able to prove Kaaka's innocence and Saras and Danny will get their father back.But how will we get the proof?
D:Kumud,have faith in truth.Truth will always win.
Kusum made laddoo.Kumari entered the kitchen:Hey Kusum..you made laddoo.I can't wait to taste it.
Kus:Kumari please...you eat after some time.Not now.
Kuma:Why?
Kusum became shy:I thought...I mean...I made it for...
Kumari smiled:So you made it specially for Sunny?
Kusum blushed.
Kuma:Ok then go feed him.
Kus:No no...
Kuma:Why?
Kus:I am nervous.
Kuma:Why so nervous and shy Kusum?We both will go and give it to him.
Kumari took the plate and Kusum out.They saw Sunny coming.Kusum's face blossomed.
Kuma:Sunny...laddoo for you.
He took one laddoo.
Kuma:No..take the whole plate.All the laddoos are for you.Since you like laddoo we kept one whole plate for you.
He was surprised:Really?Thanks a lot.
He took the plate from Kumari and started eating laddoo.
Sun:I must say that this laddoo is very tasty.
Kusum became happy.
Kuma:Sunny...can I tell you a truth?
Kusum pinched Kumari.
Kuma:No Kusum.I will tell him.
Sun:What are you guys saying?
Kuma:These laddoos are made by Kusum specially for you as you like it very much.
Sunny looked at Kusum unbelievingly.Kusum was so shy that she could'nt look at his face.
Sun:Thank you so much Kusum.I loved it.This laddoo is very sweet..just like you.
Kusum blushed.
Kuma:Sunny...I am here.Don't forget that.So better you be careful while saying romantic dialogues.
Sunny and Kusum were shy.Kusum ran away smiling.
Kuma:Kusum is so shy.
Sunny smiled.
