Imlie 21 October 2022: Imlie thinks festival is celebrated with family, she is here alone and can’t return to amma/Mithi. Adi enters and asks why don’t she accompany him to his house. She asks why did he come here. He asks why did she come here without informing him, she even didn’t let Tauji take her along, she will not stay here. She asks why should she come with him, if she is his responsibility.He says he left her in Pagdandiya when she told she will stay there, but she came here. He packs her clothes and asks if she doesn’t remember her. She says no.He says he remembers her though and cannot let her away from.
She asks with which relationship should she come with him, she cannot hurt Malini by coming here. He says even he didn’t want to, but he had to as he loves Imlie now and if she comes with him, he will set things right. She says she will accompany him with a condition that he shouldn’t break the promises he made to Malini during their wedding as she doesn’t want Malini to be hurt. He promises. She says its not her clothes. He then stuffs her clothes in bag and says she does it purposefully.
Anu and Dev visit Tripathis. Tripathis wish them happy holi, and Aparna says she is happy to see them here. Anu says she came here to see Adi’s behavior towards Malini. Malini wishes them happy holi. Dev asks why didn’t she play holi and tells Pankaj that he works with colors, but his daughter doesn’t want to play with colors, why didn’t they convince her. Malini says Aparna has convinced her to play holi. Anu asks where is Adi. Aparna says he must be coming. Anu asks why is he not at a place where he should be, he is playing hide and seek game with Malini again . Malini says till now Adi didn’t play holi with her, so she asked Maa to let Adi color her first and then others. Adi play sholi with Imlie and enjoys it.
Malini thinks she cannot imagine that Adi can love playing holi.Imlie and Adi throw colors on each other smear each other with colors. Saath Rang Me Khelrahi Hai Dilwalon Ki Toli Re..song plays in the background. Tripathy family waits for colors. Sunny and Tia say they are getting bored, so let us play holi. Nidhi says let us wait for sometime. Sundar brings holi. Tia and Sunny insist to play holil with them, but agrees when Dhruv signals. Nishant says its getting boring and signals Dhruv and Rupal to come aside. He then shows then bhang and insists to mix it in food and feed family to cheer up family’s mood. Aparna notices them first followed by Taiji who notices bhang in Nishant’s hand and scolding them asks him to go and throw it away.
Their discussion continues when they hear Imlie’s voice. Imlie singing song knocks door. Adi also sings.Family excitedly opens door and she hugs everyone and dances with them. Tauji acts as angry. Pankaj tells Adi that good he brought her here, but should have informed beforehand. Aparna hugs her and says she was missing her. Dev notices Imlie, but stops reminiscing Mithi that she doesn’t want Imlie to know that he is her father.Aparna drags Adi in to play holi with Malini. Malini gets disheartened seeing Adi already smeared in colors. Imlie wishes her happy holi. Malini replies and says she thought Adi doesn’t like playing holi and hence will get sindhoor applied from him, but he has already played holi; never mind, he can apply her sindhoor even now, as a husband and wife this is their first holi and he can do this at least for his wife.
Tauji asks Adi to do that as its auspicious for their relationship. Adi hesitates but reminisces Imlie’s request and agrees. Malini opens sindhoor bottle and offers it to him. Just then Sunny runs and hugs Adi dropping sindhoor on Imlie and rest on floor. Malini stands more shattered. Sunny apologizes Malini. Malini says its okay. Anu says its okay as there is different color present and tries to apply it on her. She stops her and says she wanted her husband to apply color on her first, but since it didn’t happen, she will not apply color. Adi picks sindhoor bottle and says there is nothing left in it, she didn’t inform him about her plan.
Malini says there is no use of planning as whatever is in fate will happen. She says she is happy to see Imlie back. Pankaj asks Imlie not to disappear uninformed again. Anu tells Malini that Adi looks very happy with Imlie’s return.Nishant asks why papa looks unhappy with Imlie’s return. Tauji says he and Imlie were like Jai and Veeru of this house, but Imlie listened to Adi instead of him, so from here on Sundar is his buddy. Sundar rejoices and taunts Imlie. Imlie replies back.
Imlie tells family that she will do household work from hereon and not let Sundar do that. Adi says she will not work, then tells family that she has to study for her entrance exam. Imlie says she will not let Sundar take her place as this is her house. Nidhi says of course and takes her in. Anu warns Malini to at least now not ignore what she is seeing. Malini asks what is she ignoring. Anu says Adi left house without informing anyone to bring Imlie, she wanted just a bit of sindhoor from him which he didn’t, he is ignoring her repeatedly since Imlie came in their lives and doesn’t even speak to her, so she should be alert.
Malini thinks she cannot ignore Maa’s warning for the first time, Adi doesn’t even speak to her and behaves so well with Imlie instead, if he indebted to Imlie for saving his life or if there is some other reason.Adi sees family pampering Imlie and thinks not only him but also there are so many people who were missing Imlie; he can understand Dev’s situation, but what he did with Malini is betrayal; even he realized only now that he loves Imlie and realized that he was feeling comfortable with Malini just like a friend; dev is betraying Anu, Mithi, Malini, and Imlie, but he will not betray anyone as he will inform Malini everything as she loves him like he loves Imlie. Imlie continues her jokergiri and greets each stuff at home. Rupal says she is talking to stuff as if they are humans. Imlie says when she left home, she never thought she would return, so she is feeling attached to each stuff of the house.
Aparna says she just now told this is her house and has right on each stuff. Imlie thinks she can’t express her right on anything and call her maa, she doesn’t want to be a problem to Malini, etc.Malini notices Adi’s weird behavior. Sundar scolds Imlie that she talked to each stuff and spoilt floor with her holi colored footprints, if she is bahu/DIL of this house to leave her footprints. Anu gets angry seeing foot prints and throws water on them saying there is a difference between marriage’s alta/red color and cheap holi color and it washed away so easily. Imlie gets sad hearing that.
Mithi meets Prakash and asks why didn’t he meet her even after returning 2 days ago, if he left Imlie to her home safely and if he met her in-laws. He thinks how to lie her that Adi is already married and betrayed Imlie and Imlie is just a servant there. Mithi says she is not her mother, but brought him up and can understand he is lying, what is it. He thinks Imlie shouldn’t have hidden truth from his mother.
Imlie prepares her bed in store room. Adi walks to her and says this is not her place and hopes he would have taken her to his room. She says whether on bed or floor, one should get peaceful sleep, so he need not worry about her and go and sleep. He stands there acting as looking at books and chats with her. She asks him to go. He asks if she is not getting sleep, even he is not. She asks to stop acting like a kid and go. He says she is right and will meet her in the morning. She says good night. He says she was pulling his legs and runs around him. She runs into kitchen. Malini walks to kitchen and seeing Adi what is he doing here and why is he short of breath. Imlie hides under dining table. Adi says he saw a rat and came behind it and takes her away forcefully. Imlie thinks how to control her emotions for Adi.
Imlie starts cleaning house in the morning. Aparna and Taiji prepare breakfast discussing everything is back to normal now. Tauji listening to song on taperecorder gets disturbed with mixer sound and asks Taiji to prepare him tea. Children ask to pack their lunch box. Imlie says she will bring their lunch box. Nishant asks milk and says he will prepare himself. Dhruv asks to prepare him snacks. Imlie serves Nishant milk. Tauji continuously ask Taiji to bring tea and biscuits for him. Imlie makes Taiji and Aparna wear multiple hands and brings them. Tauji and Dhruv asks why they are wearing multiple fake hands, if there is fancy dress competition. Imlie says she wants them to realize that Tauji and Aparna have only 2 hands and they cannot fulfill everyone’s demands at once. She gives them a long speech about how women work 24 x 7 tirelessly, etc.
Adi thinks she herself works tirelessly and is fighting for Taiji and maa’s rights, she addresses problems which they don’t notice.
