Dev tells Vishaka to leave Vishaka gets mad that he keeps changing his mind. Amma curses Radhika and blames her for Dev not taking the phere again with Vishaka. Radhika goes back and tells Dadi and them that Dev and Vishaka has gone to Rishikesh and asks Dadi to allow her to go back home. Radhika's about to leave but Dev and Vishaka come and Vishaka tells a servant to put Radhika's stuff away and that she isn't leaving.

Dev retns home but has fever and is visibly upset with Radh. Dev tells Radh that he knows she want s to leave the house and go but before that he wants to gift her the Kanha necklace and asks her to meet him later.Vish is piqued that when she wanted to consummate the marriage then why do others have an issue? Radh says it's a sin but Vish retorts many sins have been committed since marriage. Dev and Radh meet while its raining and get wet. Radh asks him to forget her and Dev reiterates he cannot. Dev gifts Radh the kanha pendant as a mark of his memory. Dev faints after this leaving Radh worried.

Radhika goes to Birju who helps her bring Dev inside and tells her to change before anyone sees her and questions her. Dadi and everyone goes to Dev's room and a doctor comes who says that Dev has pneumonia. Mrinali goes to the store room for a blanket and discovers Radhika's wet clothes but Birju covers for her and says Radhika helped him bring Dev inside. Birju finds out that Dev's seen Radhika's face while Mrinali starts to suspect something about them

An Unconscious Dev mumbles Radh and Vish ques Radh who says she was just attending to him. Vish instructs Radh to attend to the ill Dev while she sneaks to take rest. Knowing abt Dev's illness Devki and Amma decide to go to Delhi. Radh holds unconscious Dev' hands and pours her heart out abt their marriage & how she cannot bear to see him in pain. Daadi and Vaish are exasperated that Dev didn't get the deserved support from a marriage. Doc examines Dev and declares he seems to be tense abt something. Amma nad Devki arrive and propose to have MahaMritunjay jaap for Dev. Devki ques Radh why Dev refused to marry again, whether there was an argument and Amma suspects that Radh might have blurted out the truth. Radh sits by Dev attending to him while the jaap goes on. Vish is taking rest. The pandit gives vibhuti to be applied on Dev's forehead and Birju leaves it with Radh who quietly applies it on his forehead. Dev awakens and seeing Radh says that he knew when he opens his eyes he wld see her and she must promise never to leave him and go. Radh promises and then Dev dozes off.

Upon waking up Dev tells Radhika she doesn't need to keep a promise she made seeing his ill health and frees her or the promise. Dev finds out Birju knew that Radhika was his dreamgirl and blasts at him but Radhika meets him on the terrace to explain why Birju hid the truth. Mrinali comes to call them for dinner but doesn't see them because they're hiding behind the door together. Luckily for Dev& Radh, Mrinalini i s unable to catch them on the terrace. Radhika convinces Dev to forgive Birju. Daadi decides to go to Phool bangla temple and Dev invites Radhika too. As an elated Radh gets ready to go for the puja with everyone but is stopped by Amma she cannot enter temples, Dev insists they believe in humanity and not orthodox doctrines

There's a pooja to thank Kanha for curing Dev and Devki and Amma don't let Radhika come but she comes because Dev insists. Amma stops Radh from entering the temple but Dev brings her in and Vish skips out as she gets Purab's call who tells her he is coming to Delhi soon with an offer for a music video for her. Radh-Dev are able to jhula jhalo Kanha together, but Devki sees them. Later Devki alleges Radh of destroying Vish marital life which prompts Radh to share the complete truth of her meetings with Dev.

Hearing the story makes Devki compassionate and she promises Radh that she will get her due right. She tells Radh to reveal the truth to Dev & sends Dev to meet her. Menawhile Dadi and Vaishali are very upset by Vishakha's careless and rude behaviour while distributing food and clothes to the poor. Shastriji explains to Vishakha to cpmply with fhe Raj purohit duties and Vish promises. Radh meanwhile shares the truth abt her marriage presuming that its Dev overhearing when infact its Amma who slaps her for her audacious effort. Devki apologizes to Radhika and says she can't tell the truth to everyone because it'll effect both families. Devki prevents Radhika from leaving with the Purohits but Radhika's tears melt her heart. Radhika runs after Dev's car who left thinking she had left with his family but then Dev returns because he felt he had left something behind. Radhika tells him she is keeping her promise of not leaving him and so he takes her back to Delhi with him. Amma is upset that Devki allowed Radhika to go back to Purohit's.

They reach home and Mrinali makes another comment where Vishaka defends Radhika and Mrinali gets mad. Vishaka warns Radhika to be careful since Mrinalini seems suspicious as might catch you taking care of Dev when he was sick. Mrinalini feels insulted and rants out in front of Chacha and Arjun. Chacha guides her to stoke the affair and let it brew and then blow it up at the right moment. Birju asks Radhika why she hasn't left and tells him because of the promise she made to Dev when he woke up when he was sick. Dev believes that Rads is so adamant to keep her promise only because she loves him. Mrinalini's insult of Rads provokes Dev to move her from the storeroom to a bigger room which Radhika agrees to on Vishakha's insistance. Dev tries to get Radhika to says she loves him and tries various methods. Vish is asked to keep vrat for vat-savitri's pooja and Rads also decides to keep the vrat. Dev finds out and tells Rads since she is fasting for him he'll fast for her too but Rads tells him she is doing it for Kanha.

Amma and Devki decide to try to break Radhika and Dev's marriage by doing a pooja using their wedding picture but turns out you have to do a pooja at a certain time and when Devki tries to do it, she fails and the pundit tells her it's a match made in heaven and should not be broken and Devki realises it's a sign from God. While Devki is walking and thinking, she gets hit by a scooter and meets Keshav who finds out Radhika is with Vishaka while Devki gets yelled at by Amma for the whole pooja thing.

Every time Dev tries to prove that Radhika loves him Radhika makes some excuse. At the end during vatsavitri's pooja Dev tells Radhika he'll keep the hard fast until she tells him her true feelings. Dev falls sick from the fasting and then goes missing and in panic Radhika speaks her feeling in front of Kanha which is overheard by Dev. Meanwhile Vish tries her best to get out of the rituals of the pooja and go for the rehearsals for the music video but is unable to.

Check the updates: May 2009

Vivek Vivek was the character in the spotlight this month. His ability to think for the benefit of his family as a whole and put aside his personal hurt is commendable. Admitting to knowing the shameful truth about his wife and still using that information to save his brother's life and reputation at the cost of his own self-respect....surely the best brother and moral guide for Dev at this hour of need. The best part of his character is in his ability to empathize. Even after learning the shocking truth about Dev and Radhika he understood their love because he understood their characters and knew they could never be wrong. But whats more interesting is his ability to understand his wife...something no one else in the family can do...and therefore his ability to be tolerant of her errs. (ok i realize these stuff are relevant more to June but lets not be perfect.. majority voted for him)

Dev For his determination and persistence in making the girl confess her feelings. He just doesn't know how to take no for an answer. But thanks to that attitude atleast Radhika was relieved from constantly making up lies. Though not the entire truth is out yet, but this much was surely a task enough. The real shocker is a much more explosive truth that is more the task of Kanha than a human like Dev.

Devki & Mrinalini

Devki for being a confused character who never delivers on her promises and changes her mind as the expressions on Amma's face change. But more importantly for going against the shatras to break the marriage which she knew and understood to be blessed by God. After standing in front of Radhika and telling her she understood her pain and sacrifice and claiming that Radhika deserved her rightful place...then not taking a second before turning her back to Radhika and agreeing with Amma on Radhika's bad character. Such an unnecessary addition to the name of motherhood.

Mrinalini for having no shame in throwing stones at Radhika and Dev's relationship when her own chaal-chalan is worse. For her hypocritical behavior and trying to cause trouble for Radhika and Dev. For being after Radhika for no good reason.

RaDev Phere
(May 27)

We had a few wonderful contenders for this. But finally the majority nominated the scene when Radhika and Dev take 7 phere around the tree when Radhika is finishing her pooja. The scn was juxtaposed with Devki trying in vain to finish the pooja for breaking that relationship and the effect was wonderous. The fact that RaDev relationship is unbreakable, blessed and pure was reiterated. The scene was enhanced by the chanting in the background and the absolute best part was Dev smiling while not taking his eyes off Radhika as she walked ahead of him accepting his right to hold the thread with him (we were all so glad she didn't say no when Dev asked permission.)

Hmmm ...guess there wasn't really a epi that was bad as a whole. Just a few scenes when Dev tells Rads she doesn't need to keep her promise to him out of sympathy. Dev's pain at the rejection from Radhika was still riding high on his emotions. It was painful to watch. Radhika didn't make it any easier when she kept trying to prove that she didn't love him... though her actions spoke volumes louder than her words.

Rads confesses her love
(May 29th)

Finally Dev's efforts and determination paid off when Radhika could no longer hold her feelings inside and had to confess her love in front of God and Dev.
