Comments: 👏This is how it should be. I was totally prepared for another boring episode, but today was rocking. The pace was good, the surprise elements were right on...totally unexpected.
Dadi seems to be about to learn the truth. Dev is going to be shattered. So I think the next development is going to be when he discovers Radhika is the adopted daughter of Shastriji and Vishaka's sister.
Vishaka is singing while cutting some vegetables. Devki comes there and sees that the vegetables hasn't been peeled first. Vishaka gets a scolding and she retorts sorry! I will do it properly tomorrow. Devki tries to explain to her that now that she is married, she should get used to doing these chores. When you were home, you didn't have to do all this, but now if you continue doing like this, your sasuraal will think we didn't teach you anything. She continues to say if you want that our reputation doesn't falter, you will have to win them over. She then remarks, why are you not wearing your mangalsutra and sindoor. Vishaka replies that she forgot. Devki tells her to be careful and then questions her about Radhika's whereabouts.
Radhika is walking outside and is thinking why did I have to marry somebody who is not made for me. My marriage was a mistake. I am neither worth his love nor worth being the Choti Bahu of that family. The only person who has a right over him is Vishaka, and to save their marriage, I will have to beseech him to forget me and accept my sister.
Dev comes to the riverside and is glancing everywhere to see if Radhika is there yet. He starts to daydream about her. Radhika comes down the stairs and is looking for Dev. She recalls Dev's oath that he will wait for her tomorrow. That if she doesn't come by 4 p.m. Then he will drown himself in the water. Radhika becomes tensed and prays to Kanha not to let anything untoward to befall him. You know that despite my best intentions I couldn't come in time.
Vishaka is angry with Radhika as she has spoilt her plans. She says that her sasural is better than this house. This house is like a jail. At home, nobody stops me from going anywhere. I just have to ask the driver to get me somewhere. Aama comes there and says I know you feel stiffled there, so you can come with me to the temple where there is going to be a kirtan. But you will need to change. Vishaka asks but what is wrong with these clothes. Aama answers you are married now, wear a nice saree.
Radhika is still tensed when she suddenly sees Dev. He is on the other side of the river.
Aama and Vishaka are walking along, and she is trying to convince Vishaka that it will be good if she comes to the kirtan. Aama starts talking to some lady from their neighbourhood and Vishaka gets restless. She leaves without Aama.
Radhika is still starring at Dev who hasn't noticed her yet. She is thinking what will I say to him? How will start the conversation? She turns around and sees Vishaka coming down on her side. Radhika gets panicky. She feels cornered and she jumps into the water. She struggles to stay underwater. Images of radhe-krishna flashes while Vishaka is walking away. Dev is anxious thinking why didn't she come, didn't she trust me and my love. How can it be? I have seen love for me in her eyes. Radhika can't take it any longer and comes to the surface and is struggling. Dev notices this. He runs to her help and launches into the water. Images of Radhe-Krishna together again appears. He swims to her aid. Radhika has gone underwater, but Dev finds her. She is unconscious.
Shastriji comes home and sees Devki doing all the chores. He asks where are everyone else. She says Aama took Vishaka for a kirtan, perhaps Radhika too is with her. Shastiji says how was it. Aama replies it was really good. Devki tells them to freshen up, then she will serve food. She asks Vishaka whether Radhika is outside. Vishaka retorts no! She wasn't with us. Devki wonders where she is. Vishaka questions her ' didn't she tell you before leaving. Aama starts her bakwaas, see even she has started now, she didn't say where she is going, you won't tell her anything now, will you? She must be roaming around in Vrindavan or somewhere in some mandhir, this cursed one. Don't worry too much, she will come on her own, have your food.
Dev is thinking it is getting late, what will I do. Radhika is still unconscious. Radev theme song is playing. He is rubbing her hands to warm her up. He takes his jacket and covers Radhika. He lights a fire. She is about to warm her feet, when he notices that she is hurt and bleeding. He takes his handkerchief and wraps it. She stirs and Dev is thinking to himself that no one can separate real lovers. We had to meet one day. I will take you home, and will never separate you from myself. I will tell everyone that I have found my love. On this, Radhika suddenly wakes up.
Dadi is calling Dev but he is unavailable. She calls Birju and asks her whether Dev is back. She is tensed, she says he is out since noon, god knows where he is roaming about. Birju tries to pacify her saying, he must be on his way, don't worry. Dadi says I am worried whether he and Choti Bahu has patched up. Birju is thinking how do I tell you dadima, that he has gone to meet his dream girl.
Radhika is tensed. Dev is saying to her that I know my limits and I am sanskari. I know that to save you,I had to touch you, but I didn't any other choice. I thought I was going to lose you and this time forever. Dev says I have to say so much to say to you, so much to ask you. But now that you are here in front of me, I just want to keep saying just how much I love you. He screams A lot!Radhika is silent. Dev continues, and says that before meeting you I didn't even know the meaning of love. But now I do. How a stranger becomes the reason of my life and how not meeting you seems like ages. And when I can no longer see your smiling face, this world is useless to me. But now that I have met you again, I fear.... Radhika asks slowly that I heard that you are married. She glances at him. Dev answers yes! But this marriage is a misunderstanding, is a dhokha. I thought that I was getting married to you. In my heart, my dulhan is you. Radhika retorts shaadi is pure rishta, it joins not only two persons, but two families also. By marrying, you have become part of another family. Dev retorts when I don't accept this marriage, then why should I abide by these rishtas. Radhika answers but your wife does, nah. This society accepts this marriage, and you will have to abide. Dev answers back, if this society stops me from being with you, then I will leave Vrindavan, but you will have to support me. Radhika stutters mein... and cries and says I can't be support you on this, I am going to get married. Dev is shocked and shattered.
Precap: Dadi is asking Vaishali whether she knows where has Dev gone. She retorts no, I don't know. Dadi gets hassled, and says it is this late already and he hasn't come back yet. I am the only worried here. She points to Birju and says he knows something but he is hiding it to me. Vaishali and Birju look at each other.
