DULHA FOR THE 3RD TIME

A tired Krishna comes into the Haveli glowing with a sense of achievement ..Krishna stops short on seeing Shakthi getting anointed with Sandal paste and being rubbed with aromatic oil ..Krishna teasingly asks Shakthi whether Shakthi is going to get Krishna another Sister-in-law..Shakthi orders one of the servant to give a sweet to Krishna, laconically replies that no he is not getting married again but merely getting his wife back again..Krishna holding the sweet ball asks Shakthi Singh to elaborate, Shakthi Singh gleefully replies that Kesar is back in his life..Krishna treats this news in disbelief..refuses to accept it ..just then Kesar walks out holding a vessel filled with warm water and begins to cleanse Shakthi’s arms.>Krishna watches this in shock while Shakthi arrogantly replies that this is the power of Shakthi singh…Krishna crumbles the sweet that he had been holding, turns and gives a pointed look at a silent and Impassive Pratigya who had been watching this scenario ..Goes near to her and enquires solicitously whether she is satisfied of her efforts, Krishna plays the ‘I told u so ‘ game reiterates that Pratigya should stop helping others and focus on her own affairs..Krishna tells Pratigya to stop helping those who do not need ur help or who just chuck it out at the earliest opportunity ..Krishna just walks into his room..Pratigya follows after giving her Monalisa look at Shakthi..Shakthi who had been smiling throughout this monologue slowly stops smiling and an implacable anger replaces the smiling visage..Kesar is still busy wiping.

SAXENA COMES TO PLAY HIS PART

Shyamu Saxena comes home looking fresh and happy ** in direct contrast to how he went…Kya Baat hai ** …Shyamu has just entered when the peremptory tone of Dadi commands him to come and sit by him..Shyamu replies that he will freshen up n come..But the stubborn and selfish Dadi has no consideration for her hard working Son..She just wants to spill out all the venom ..Shyamu sits by her …Dadi opens the ball game ,demands that Shyamu place her in an old age home ..A suitably Shocked but not grieved Shyamu jerks and mouths how can u say that ..dadi says that The infrastructure of this pure,value filled house is crumbling and she wants to be away before that..Shyamu does not understand …Dadi then begins to fill his ears with Komal’s activities and as an added measure besmirches her obedient Daughter-in-law Nainaji too…Sax looks worried and shocked..

KP’s Bedroom

Krishna is going on and on about his activities and is also Praising Pratigya for her intelligence and thanking her for saving him from incurring future loss , when he notices that Pratigya is lost in her own world..Krishna understands that Maidam is thinking about her failed project , lovingly calls Pratigya to his side..Pratigya comes and sits by his side..Krishna explains as if to a small child,Krishna says that there is no point in helping each and everyone [one should pick a person who really needs our help] ..Krishna tells her not to waste her time thinking about what has happened, informs her that he is always there to listen to her advice and aslo act upon it ..Krishna says he is changing bec she wants him to and bec she is guiding him in he correct way…Krishna pleads with Pratigya to give a smile as he quaintly puts it..If Pratigya smiles , it appears that that whole stretch of a road filled with flowers seems to loom open..Pratigya melts under this flattery and bestows a smile ..Having accomplished his task..Krishna lists out his future plan ..Pratigya advises him not hurry but exercise caution..Krishna agrees to it ..

Krishna then replies that he wants to get a grand gift for Pratigya and a heavy bangle for Amma, Amma who has been overhearing this conversation is happy..A soft smile of affection spreads through her ..only for it to be wiped off by Pratigya’s reply which says that first salary should be given to Sajjan SIngh …Amma heaves a sigh ..and walks away after listening to Krishna acceding to Pratigya’s suggestion..

Sajjan Singh assures Amma that He will not allow Kesmma to create any mischief ..and will take care of any eventuality
