Ranbir gets a call from Govind informing him that Jatan's condition has worsened and he should send Lumita over to the hospital.
Ranbir says he will come with Lumita right away.
After the call, Ranbir remembers what Rheka said about making sure Lumita has no rights as Udey’s wife.
He begins to think that if he takes Lumita away on her wedding night, Rheka will have one up against him.
He wrestles with himself on what to do; if Lumita doesn’t go to the hospital and something terrible happens, he will not be able to forgive himself but Jatan’s wish is for Lumita to be married and enjoy her first night as a newlywed.....
He decides that at the crack of dawn, he will take Lumita and Udey to the hospital.
Rhama comes to ask him what he's still doing up.
He says he wants to take Lumita to the hospital in the morning.
Rhama says it's a good idea.
Lumita wakes up from the carpet and places her pillow on the bed. She watches Udey sleep then touches his feet before going to freshen up.
She comes back and says a prayer for her father.
Udey wakes up and sees her praying. She sees him and tries to explain herself but he tells her that it is a good thing to pray early and she should say one on his behalf.
He tells her he will take a shower then they will go downstairs together to have breakfast.
Abhay and Lisa get downstairs and greet the family.
Lumita and Udey also get downstairs and Lumita goes to all the elders, one by one, to greet and ask for blessings.
Ranbir tells Udey and Lumita that they should follow him to the hospital.
Lumita asks if her father is okay.
Rheka says there is no hurry and they should have breakfast first.
Grandmother says Rheka should let them go.
Abhay tells Udey if he needs anything, he should let him know.
Rheka says it's not necessary because Ranbir is Jatan's very good friend and he will handle anything.
When they leave, grandmother ushers the rest of the family towards the dining table for breakfast.
Lisa says they should send her breakfast to the room then she heads back to the room.
Everyone is shocked at her behaviour.
Abhay is both shocked and embarrassed.
He enters the room, upset, saying she's not helping, the family just accepted them and now she goes and pulls such a stunt.
He says she has offended his grandmother by refusing to join the family for breakfast.
She says she didn't think it would be a problem because Udey and Lumita didn't have breakfast.
He tells her to apologise to everyone and from now on she should never behave like this.
She agrees and apologizes to him.
He says they should go down stairs and have breakfast.
She suggests that they wait for Lumita and he agrees.
Grandfather asks grandmother why she's worried.
Grandmother says it's the first morning of the brides in the house and one went to the hospital while the other had breakfast in her room.
Rheka hears and says it's true; It's worrisome that Ranbir’s daughter in law is not aware of their customs.
Rhama comes in and asks grandmother what is wrong.
Grandfather tells her to forget it.
Rheka says Ranbir forced the dates and the weddings and look how things have turned out; you can't change the course of destiny.
Grandmother cautions her to mind the things she says.
At the hospital Govind sees Lumita as he is coming out of Jatan’s room and angrily says at last, she's here. He accuses her of changing already and has completely forgotten about her father.
Hardeep comes out of the room and they ask her what is wrong.
Govind says there's nothing they can do because it is all over.
Lumita rushes inside and sees her dead father still lying on the bed, about to be taken out to the morgue.
She breaks down and Hardeep comes in to console her.
Govind says her father's last wish was to see her but she wasn't there.
Ranbir is in shock.
Udey asks why they weren't called in the night so Lumita could come.
Govind says he called Ranbir.
Ranbir breaks down in tears.
He says Govind indeed called him but he didn't think this would happen.
Govind goes off on him and even Udey registers his disappointment at his uncle.
Ranbir tries to go to Lumita but Govind tells him to get out. He says he lost Jatan because of him and he doesn't want to lose Lumita.
Govind tells Lumita that Ranbir is the only one to blame.
They come to take Jatan's body away and Lumita struggles with them.
Back in the house, grandfather says when Jatan leaves hospital they should have a reception for the newlyweds because a lot of guests couldn’t make the actual wedding due to the short notice.
Lisa comes downstairs to apologise for offending them
Grandmother says it's okay but it shouldn't happen again and when Lumita returns, she and Lisa will cook.
Lisa says she can make pasta but not traditional food.
Abhay tells her that there are a lot of women in the house who can teach her how to cook.
Ranbir and Udey return home, sad.
Grandmother asks where Lumita is.
Ranbir hugs his father and says Jatan has passed on. He starts to cry uncontrollably.
Everyone is in shock.
Ranbir goes to his room and remembers his friend, Jatan and everything that happened during the wedding.
Rhama comes in to console him. She says he took Lumita there as soon as he could.
He says he really wanted to make Jatan’s dream come true but because of him, she couldn't even see her father on his deathbed.
Rhama asks what he's talking about.
He tells her about the call from Govind.
She tells him not to beat himself up.
It's the day of the funeral and everyone is wearing white.
Lumita is devastated and clinging to the body.
Grandmother consoles Hardeep.
Rheka comes to Hardeep and says Ranbir didn't tell her that Govind called that night and if she had known, she would have taken Lumita to the hospital herself. She starts to blame Ranbir but grandmother tells her it is not the time.
Jatan is cremated. Lumita is inconsolable.
Ranbir is in tears.
The family returns home.
Ranjeet tells his father that what happened shouldn't have. Grandmother says Lumita is so young and shouldn't be dealing with such but they can only bring her back after 13 days.
Ranbir says they can bring her back, she needs Udey and a lot of people are around that can take care of her.
Rheka says she has to spend the 13 days with her folks as her father just died.
Grandfather says Ranbir has a point and Lumita can come back.
Ranbir says they should all go and see Govind so that he will allow Lumita come back.
They go to see Lumita's family.
Grandfather commisserates with Govind but when Ranbir speaks Govind gets upset and says Lumita will not go back, she will stay with them.
Hardeep says Govind can't say that because Lumita is their daughter-in-law.
Govind is adamant but Hardeep pleads with him.
She tells the family to wait while she gets Lumita.
She brings Lumita out and tells her that her father will want her to go to her in-laws and lead a happy life.
Ranbir begs her to come.
She hugs Govind and says she doesn't want to go with them.
Rhama begs her but she says she doesn't want to go.
Hardeep begs the family and says she can't force Lumita. She begs them to let Lumita stay for a few more days.
Rheka says Hardeep is right and they should allow Lumita stay.
Udey says he wants to see Lumita.
The family goes outside and Rheka is happy things are going her way
They ask for Udey and Rheka says she will get him but grandfather tells her to let him talk to Lumita.
Rheka wonders what Udey will be discussing with Lumita.
