Imlie says she is worried for her baby, so she brought home cooked food. Malini says she and her baby don’t need her and her concern, so she should go. Imlie says even she is becoming a mother. Malini opens mouth in shock. Imlie puts food in her mouth and feeds her more bites tricking her. Malini fumes. Imlie asks which cuisine she wants to have tomorrow as she needs time to search clothes.

Dulari says she never understands her and her amma. Imlie says there will be halwa pooja for her there. Dulari excitedly goes to get ready. Imlie says she knows Adi wanted to take her out and try to speak and understand her, but she cannot do that; she asks god when will the distance between her and Adi clear.

Adi shouts she is unrepentant for her acts even after so much happened. Anu says she apologized for all her mistakes. Adi shouts sorry word looks cheap from her mouth, how can she do this to amma. Anu says she just gave job to this poor woman whose husband is a criminal and cannot take care of her. Mithi tells Adi that its a job and she doesn’t bother what others think. Imlie says she is right. Anu warns Mithi that she hired her to work and not chat with guests and orders to get remaining snacks. Imlie, Rupali, Nishant, Sundar, Dev, offer to help Mithi.

Nishant does same hesitantly. Imlie feels sad seeing that. Pandit asks parents to hold each other’s hand and take oath. Mithi tells Dulari that she never heard of this kind of pooja. Pandit asks parents to take oath that they will protect baby and will love him/her like they love each other. Adi says he will love baby like he loves his wife. Imlie asks Seeta Maiya why she wrote this kind of fate for her. Adi prays god to get him to Imlie again as she is far away from him mentally, looking at Imlie.
