Sumitra comes to know from Arti about Siddharth's visit but is shocked to find out that the date is April 6 which gives them barely any time to prepare. Arti gives her confidence. Harivansh arrives worried about the doctor's visit and Arti tells him the results won't be in till the next day. Sumitra shares the news about the wedding and her worries about it. Harivansh tells her to relax and says he's applied for a loan and they'll figure things out one by one.
Sumitra and Arti miss Pooja who would have been the first to grab paper and pencil to begin listmaking. Arti wants to call Pooja immediately but Harivansh tells her to wait. He tells Sumitra that they must get Pooja a cellphone no matter the cost. Arti agrees and says she can't wait to talk to Pooja at all hours and Sumitra laughs.
In his office, Brij repeats the word "sailaab" to himself and underlines it on the whiteboard before erasing the entire poem. He calls Shukla who tells him about his scheduled appointments for the evening, which include a wedding. Brij nods along but comes to the real point when he tells Shukla that he wants to talk to Pooja after her rehearsal is over and to make sure that she knows this.
The director of the academy arrives at the end of rehearsal to inform the troupe that their tickets have arrived and they're leaving two days after Shivratri on the 22nd of Feb. Everybody is very excited except for Pooja who tries hard to summon some enthusiasm. Krish tells them to practice even harder now that their departure date has been set and offers to drop Pooja home.
Pooja meanwhile has decided that she's going to talk to Brij no matter what today and so refuses Krish's offer. A grinning Bhavna says she's going to the market and she'll come back and pick Pooja up after that. Krish offers to drop a sulky Shelley home.
Pooja is sitting in the hall, anxiously waiting for Brij. Shukla comes by and tells her that Brij is busy with some foreign journalists so he doesn't want to disturb Brij and Pooja agrees. But an hour later there's no sign of Brij and she's worried that her aunt will scold her for getting home late so she quickly scrawls "sorry" on a piece of paper and gives it to Shukla to pass on.
Just as she leaves, Brij comes out (with some seriously funny looking white extras š) and immediately scans the room for Pooja. Shukla tells him she left and gives him the note. Brij is instantly furious and asks him if he told her that Brij specifically wanted to see her. Shukla is very sorry that he forgot and Brij yells at him. Shukla runs out to see if he can catch her but she's already arriving at her aunt's house in Bhavna's car.
Bhavna smiles at Pooja and comments on her changed appearance. She asks Pooja if she's fallen in love with somebody. Pooja is shocked and says no. Bhavna keeps teasing her that often we are the last to find out that we've fallen in love and the world is the first to read it on our face. She says it's clear from Pooja's face that she's fallen in love. Pooja insists she hasn't. Bhavna says if Pooja considered her a friend then she would tell her the truth and Pooja insists that she is telling the truth.
Suddenly bells ring out from a temple and Bhavna asks Pooja if she's keeping a fast for Shivratri. Pooja says she isn't. Bhavna says her mom has been bugging her to keep fast for 16 Mondays so she can get the husband she wants but it's no use since Brij isn't going to marry her anyway. Pooja is shellshocked.
Bhavna laughs and asks if it's odd that she has a crush on Brij - he's so handsome, powerful, kind and generous, what girl wouldn't want him for a husband? Pooja is staring at Bhavna as if she's grown two heads. š¤£
Inside her room, an agitated Pooja mutters to herself that Bhavna likes to talk nonsense š and she's definitely not in love. But she can't understand what she's feeling either and suddenly wonders if Bhavna might be right and she is now feeling something that she hasn't even allowed herself to think about. (Awww!)
A worried Pooja is sitting up in bed when a phone starts ringing. She hunts all over and finds a cell phone under her pillow. She can't understand whose it is and how it came to be there. The phone keeps ringing as she stares at it.
Precap: Brij is dressed in a sherwani when his phone rings. He answers the phone and on the other end is Pooja holding the mystery cell phone. She tries to speak but nothing comes out and she finally hangs up all flustered. Brij holds Pooja's note in one hand and the cell phone in the other and wonders if it was her. Pooja is standing at her window with the breeze blowing over her and she wonders why she couldn't speak when she had so much to say. She wonders if this is love. š² āŗļø
Was I the only one who thought Shelley was Krish's girlfriend when we first saw her and Krish at the rally in Bhopal? I think Shelley also thought she was Krish's girlfriend until he began his Pooja mania š
Bhavna is quite irritating with her relentless questioning but at least she did one good thing today. š She put some little awareness into Pooja. Wait until Pooja decides to confide in you, my dear, your socks will be blown off š¤£
So how long is this Brija separation going to last? From what we saw today I don't think we have to worry about Pooja falling for Krish any time soon because it's all Brij all the time right now for her. He has to really mess up in order to let Krish have a real shot at her and for that Brija have to spend some time together. Hint, hint, CVs! (Not that any of them read this forum! š¤¢)
