Ranbir is still in the hospital hallway with Udey, Lumita and Jatan’s siblings, Govind and Hardeep.
The doctor comes out of surgery and Lumita asks how her father is.
He tells them that Jatan is ok but unstable so they need to keep him under observation for 24hours.
Jatan is wheeled out of the theatre and Lumita breaks down.
They take him to a private room.
Ranbir walks away but Udey stays back.
Udey enters the hospital room. Govind sees him and is about to send him out but Hardeep begs him.
Ranbir enters the room and pleads for mercy. He begs for a chance to make it right.
He says he brought the priest with him, so Udey and Lumita can get married, right here in the hospital.
He tells an unconscious Jatan that he will fulfil his promise and Udey will marry Lumita right here.
Ranbir tells the priest to continue and the priest concludes the ceremony.
The couple take blessings from Ranbir.
In excitement Ranbir goes to Jatan and tells him that his daughter is married; from now on Lumita is his daughter, his responsibility and he will look after her.
He gets home in excitement and calls for Rheka. He tells her that she should come and meet her daughter in law.
Rheka asks what's going on and Ranbir says they got married.
Rheka berates him for going behind her back and Ranbir begs her to forget the past.
Rheka says she will never accept the marriage.
Grandmother and grandfather beg her to accept it because they are already married.
She says her condition was that both brides will come into the house at the same time.
She keeps going on about the issue till Ranbir screams at her to look towards the door and see Abhay and Lisa are there.
He has kept his own end of the deal.
Rheka is shocked.
Udey begs her to allow Lumita into the house since her conditions have been met.
Ranbir goes to the doorway and tells Abhay and Lisa to come in.
Rheka tells them to hold on.
Grandmother tells Rhama to bring the things needed to welcome the couples properly.
She goes to Rheka and begs her to let go of her anger.
Rhama brings the tray for blessings and performs the welcome ritual for Abhay and Lisa, just as Rheka does the same for Udey and Lamita, begrudgingly.
Grand mother blesses the daughters- in-law.
Jatan is struggling in bed. Govind and Hardeep send for the doctor.
The doctor checks him and tells them to let him rest as he is unstable and under observation for 24 hours.
Govind asks Hardeep if it wasn't too hasty for them to have allowed Lumita still get married under the present circumstances.
Hardeep assures him that it wasn’t wrong because it was Jatan's wish for her to get married.
Govind says he wants to go and get Lumita to come and stay by her father’s side.
She tells him that Lumita belongs with her in laws now.
The rituals for the new brides are being performed.
Rheka watches everything and thinks to herself that she will ensure that Lumita doesn't have any rights as Udey's wife.
Grandmother tells the brides to bow to the goddess.
After the rituals, they all move to the living room but Lamita stays back to pray for her father.
Ranbir hears her as she is praying and waits for her.
As she is crying, he goes to console her. He claims responsibility and begs her for forgiveness even as he promises that she will not go through problems in her life again.
Rheka comes to meet them. She says Ranbir cares for Lumita so much that he has forgotten his own daughter in law, Lisa.
She tells them to come inside as everyone is waiting for them.
Ranbir and Lumita join the rest of the family.
Grandmother and Rhama tell Lumita that they will take care of her.
Rheka reminds them that Lisa is also their daughter in law and they should take care of her too, she asks Ranbir if she's right.
Grandmother tells Rhama to take Lisa to her room and Ruchi to take Lumita to her room.
Ruchi takes Lumita to her room and tells her to wait for Udey.
Rhama and Anjana take Lisa to her room. Lisa sees the beautifully decorated room and gushes about it. She says she thinks everyone should get married in India.
They tell her to sit and give the glass of milk to Abhay when he comes.
She asks why and the laugh.
Udey enters the room, sees a nervous Lumita and sits next to her.
He is kind of nervous himself and as he calls her name, there’s a knock on the door.
He opens it and it's his mother. She says it's very urgent.
He follows her out and she says she's worried about Lumita; she is upset about her dad and being a simple girl, it would be better for Udey to be her friend first before becoming a husband.
She tell Udey that she hopes he understands what she is saying.
He thanks her and returns to the room.
Abhay enter the room and sees Lisa standing in the room, dressed in a nightwear.
He leads her to sit on the bed and tells her that in their custom, the bride waits for her husband sitting there. She asks why and he says it just is.
Udey enters the room and sits beside a crying and scared Lumita. He begs her not to cry and says he understands what she's going through. He tells her that she should treat him as a friend; will sleep on the carpet so she can have the bed.
She tells him that she will sleep on the carpet because he might not be used to it.
She thanks him and lies down on the floor.
Abhay puts on the music player and dances with Lisa.
He welcomes her home and she tells him she loves him.
He says he can't believe that his father has accepted him and they are home.
She gives him the milk.
He carries her and places her on the bed.
Rhama meets Ranbir in the library and tells him that it is a good thing that he brought Abhay and Lisa home.
He asks if she's happy and she says everyone is.
He tells he to go and get some sleep.
She leaves and Rheka appears.
Ranbir says it looks like something is bothering her.
Rheka says what she will tell him will give him sleepless nights.
She says he has won and Udey is married to Lumita but she will ensure that Lumita has no rights as Udey’s wife; she will use any means necessary, either by hook or by crook.
Ranbir stands there just watching her.
She walks away.
