The episode opens with Vasudha approaching the hibiscus plant, expressing her deep concerns. She confides in the plant that Chandrika is unaware of the reality, Decansh is restless, and Hanumant remains oblivious, lost in thoughts of her marriage. Vasudha feels guilty for the deception, contemplating that she should have halted the wedding preparations. She struggles with the idea of allowing Devansh to marry her, considering her position as a servant against his status as a Malik. Vasudha worries that her actions will lead to repercussions for Hanumant.
At that moment, Avinash arrives and overhears her. Vasudha states her intent to reveal the truth to Chandrika the next day, admitting to her mistakes and planning to make amends. Avinash is taken aback by her admission. Turning around, she sees him and he questions whether she truly views it as her fault. He argues that they took steps to protect Chandrika’s honor, implying the burden of guilt shouldn’t rest solely on her. Avinash reassures her that Devansh understands Chandrika well and will disclose the truth when the time is right, cautioning that if anyone else intervenes, it might ruin Chandrika’s trust in Devansh. Vasudha, anxious not to tarnish their trust, expresses her concerns. Avinash promises to discuss it with Devansh the following day and urges her to stop crying and get some rest. She departs.
Later, Vasudha reminisces about her marriage and struggles to find sleep. She asserts that she cannot consider this false marriage as legitimate. Observing Hanumant asleep, she feels unable to deny him the rights of kanyadaan. She resolves to seek a genuine marriage with his blessing, reflecting on her vermilion and Hanumant’s earlier statements about the differences between a servant and Malik.
Vasudha recalls Chandrika’s justified anger when she sat next to Devansh during the puja, prompting her to wipe away her vermilion and attempt to remove her mangalsutra. However, the attempt causes her forehead to bleed. Confused, she implores God for clarity on this ordeal, recalling her graha pravesh and realizing what she must do.
The next morning, Vasudha applies vermilion to her forehead, concealing it with her hair, and adorns her mangalsutra likewise. She speaks to Vasuki, acknowledging her marriage and vowing to uphold everything she learned from her. She commits to honoring the mangalsutra and their relationship, seeking blessings from Vasuki.
Meanwhile, Avinash informs Devansh that Vasudha is blaming herself for the situation. Devansh expresses a desire to reveal the truth to Chandrika. Avinash, noting Vasudha’s sadness and guilt, advises Devansh to reach out to her.
Chandrika surprises Vasudha and Madhav with housewarming papers, instructing Savitri to organize shagun gifts for Hanumant’s household. Madhav feels the house is excessive for him, but Prabhat reassures him they recognize his self-respect, mentioning that the EMI will come out of Madhav’s salary monthly. Devansh, noticing Vasudha’s discontent, decides it’s time to tell Chandrika the truth.
