Saras and Kumud 1 December 2024: So the episode starts with both Saras and Kumud upset with each other and Kumud tells him that the sooner they finish the pots ,the sooner that can buy the cow so that he can leave fast and she asks him if this is what he wants and Saras wonders to himself if she wants this too. He goes to her and tells her that she was the one who had wanted him to go hence he didnt want to stay back and make her angry and Kumud is unable to face him while he says this and immediately she tells him that she would not wait the whole night and insists that they finish the work soon. Saras immediately resumes making the pots while Kumud sits beside him,rolling the mud and he looks at her surreptiously.
Back in Kumud’s house,Dukh Baa is still upset with Badi Kaki’s words of how when
LN had brought Guman to their house,VC had done nothing for her..Just then Guniyal comes and tells her to understand Badi Kaki’s situation and not get bothered about what she says and that she (Kaki) would not have wanted to hurt her . Dukh Baa replies that living and being brought up in the same house ,she understands what people mean,the underlying meaning in their words,and she adds that it was well that Kumari did not listen to all this and if she had heard this,she would be really upset and she implores Guniyal to leave her alone for some time and she goes to her room,closing the door behind her.
Meanwhile Kumud is on her way to fetch some mud for making the pots and Saras tells her that he would accompany her too ! Kumud walks behind him,as he walks ahead,she gets worried that the mud which she has to bring is near the very lake which affected him so much and she remembers Dukh Baa’s words of how Saras’s mother had committed suicide in that lake and she vows to herself that she would not let him go through the same pain again and she runs upto him and tells him that he cannot go there since Devi Maa rests there and that only women can go there and that only women can go and Saras tells her that he cannot believe that she believes in all this! and he adds that the time when he had jumped in the lake to save the kid,she was the one who had supported him and that a woman who can fight the priest cannot believe in such mindless stories! Kumud replies that the Villagers still blame him and if he was seen by any one of them again and they something bad against him,she would not be able to bear that and he asks why!
Kumud is unable to reply initially but she tells him that it should not matter to him since after finishing his work,he would be leaving and he agrees and tells her that to someone who cares about his leaving or staying back,he cannot take free help from such a person and she replies that when time comes,she would ask and she leaves! Saras looks at her tenderly ,as she leaves!
Back in the haveli,VC comes to meet Gyaan (The musician) and his wife and he tells them that unknowingly he would have made some mistakes as he was running the house but he always has one thing in his mind that everyone should be together (VC is really upset) and that Saras and Yash are both like his sons and that they should know that he has always believed in forgiving people,whomsover they might be and that he has always accepted the fact that whether the world believes him or not,he trusts that his family always understand him! Gyaan’s wife gets very touched and she tearfully tells him that she trusts him even more than her own parents and she adds that she is aware that VC and Guniyal have always taken care of their family forgetting their own troubles but Gyaan doesnt say anything and VC is worried! VC approaches him and then Gyaan says that since he could never contribute anything towards the family,he also cannot have any say in the family matters! VC is shocked and he leaves!
Kumud gets the mud and Saras asks her why she had taken such a long time and she asks him if he was scared.being alone and immediately he gets defensive and says that he never gets scared of anything and that he does not need any help ! He asks her where she found the mud but Kumud gets annoyed and asks him to find on his own! She is just about to go when she trips and he immediately catches her waist to prevent her from falling and they look at each other ! Hayyeee! Kumud sees that while grabbing hold of him to prevent from falling,she had accidently touched his face with her muddy hands and she starts laughing at his appearance (of which he is unaware ) and she tells him the reason for her laughter and he asks her how she could laugh at him like that when she was the one responsible! Then he asks her to clean his face with her dupatta ! Kumud tells him that she wont but when Saras is about to go she tells him sorry and she sits down and catches hold of her ears and promises him that she would not do it again ! So cuteee ! In the Precap,Ilaben tells Kumud that Shivji would decide what type of husband Kumud would get and that whoever is her husband would be very lucky ! Just then Kumud turns around and sees Saras !!
