In the forest:
Next morning, both are lying unconscious some distance away from each other. Akash gets flashes of Meethi getting up on the bus, him getting bit by the snake, Meethi coming back towards him and shouting his name before he fell unconscious.
He wakes up. I wonder if it was a delusion that Meethi had come. He tries getting up and feels his head aching badly. He looks around and finds the dupatta tied to his arm. Sad version of O re Piya starts in the background as the realisation hits him that Meethi had indeed come. He frantically looks around to find her. He shouts her name and spots her lying unconscious. He is too stunned and immediately rushes to her. Foam is coming out of Meethi’s mouth and he cleans it. He tries to revive her, tries rubbing her hand but no use.
He thinks he must do something before the poison spreads in her whole body. Get up Meethi. I wont let anything happen to you. You have to get up.
Thakur House:
Damini is looking at the wedding album of Meethi. She has flashback of her wedding – pheras, Meethi’s vidaai and how she had hugges Iccha. She sees Mukta and Rathore’s photo. She recalls how Mukku was trying to tell them the real identity of Vishnu and they dint listen to her.
Kanha finds her crying for Meethi. He comes up to her. Ammo nani nothing will happen to Meethi. You need to have faith in the police. They are doing their best.
Damini asks him why Vishnu did this with her or with us. He won our hearts with his innocence / genuineness. He has cheated all of us. What enmity does he have with us? He knew neither us nor Thakur sahab had too much money then what was his motive. Why he had to do this?
Kanha says I too have some doubts in my mind. But I still have trust in my Maiyya and her choice. She can never be wrong in understanding a person. Think Ammo nani she has taught so many children and has changed the hearts of many of them too. I fail to understand how she could not understand Vishnu. There are some things about him which none of us can fathom. The only thing that hurts me is that Meethi was our responsibility and we couldn’t do anything for her.
Surabhi was listening to their convo from outside. She smirks. You will never be able to find out who came as Vishnu in your lives and what his motive was. Mother has gone now its the turn of her daughter to go. Start doing the preps to send her to heaven.
In the forest:
Akash picks up Meethi in his arms. He turns to go towards the road but finds Maiyya and stops shocked.
Twadev lagnam chant starts playing. Maiyya asks him what he is doing. He is taking her to get medicine. See, what you couldn’t do God has done. Even he is with me to give justice to my enemy. My enemy’s daughter and your wife is at the door of death. She is on her way to meet her mother.
Akash replies don’t forget she has saved your son’s life. Else it would have been me lying here instead of her. She has sacrificed her life for me. She dismisses him and his words.
He stays firm. She is your daughter-in-law who loves your son truly. I too love her. Not only with you but I will fight with everyone even the world for her just like Savitri had to save Satyavan’s life. No one can stop me.
She asks him if he will cheat his mother or forget the promise that he has given to her. He replies in affirmative. She gets distressed. He says because I realised that the path I was walking on was wrong. Look at this innocent girl she loves me from the depth of her heart. I am her husband. It is my duty to protect her. Maiyya says if she had brought him up to see this day.
He replies I made a mistake Maiyya. I couldn’t understand the promises that I had given to her. My hatred has failed in front of this innocent girl’s love. He looks at Meethi with love and then at his mother. I am alive today because of her. I wont let anything happen to her and no one can stop me now. She disappears (he was dreaming). He looks around and realises he was dreaming.
The same sad song plays in the background. He runs on road trying to stop the vehicles but no one stops to help him out. A lorry stops but the men feel it might turn a police case. They lie to him about the lorry being full. He sees it empty and shouts if they have no humanity left. The episode ends as he concernedly looks at an unconscious Meethi lying in his arms.
