Rheka and Udey come back home, to everyone's relief.
Everyone gathers around them.
Lumita rushes to Udey. She holds his hand and it gets awkward between them.
Rheka explains that their car had a punctured tyre but thanks to everyone’s prayers they were able to avoid an accident.
She says the driver didn't have a spare but they got a taxi home and they have Udey to thank for making them come back home.
When everybody else leaves the living room, Ranbir tells Rheka that he's glad she finally listened to Udey and came back home.
Rheka says he wouldn't get rid of her so easily.
Lumita is sleeping on the bed. Udey enters and stares at her lovingly, then he gets in bed and covers her up with a blanket.
In the morning, Lumita sees him sleeping then her face breaks into a smile.
She goes to the kitchen and tells Rhama and Nena to let her make some tea.
Rhama asks if the tea is for Udey.
Lumita blushes and says she doesn't know if he will like it.
Rhama assures her that he will like it.
Lumita takes two cups of tea to Abhay and Lisa’s room. Abhay wakes Lisa up and Lumita says she only one cup because Lisa doesn't like tea.
Lisa wakes up and kisses Abhay, holding unto him.
Abhay is very uncomfortable and he looks at Lumita. She looks away.
Lumita leaves the room and Abhay berates Lisa for kissing him in front of Lumita.
Lisa says she didn't know Lumita was there and besides he's her husband so she can kiss him.
Lumita greets Rheka in the hallway. Rheka asks why she is the one making tea. Lumita says she wants to serve and take care of everyone as they are all older than her.
Lumita takes Tea to Udey in the room. He says he doesn't want tea.
Rheka is standing by the door, listening. She’s happy with Udey’s refusal to take the tea.
Udey tells Lumita that since she made the tea for him, he will gladly take it.
He takes it from her and sips.
Rheka is not happy.
Lumita tells Udey that she can bring him lunches at work instead of him to keep ordering for lunch.
Udey gets a phone call and leaves the room.
Rheka enters the room and pretends to have a headache. She tells Lumita that she had a dream and wants to know if Lumita got intimate with Udey last night.
Lumita says she didn't.
Rheka says, “thank God” because it would have been a disaster, going by what she saw in her dream.
She tells Lumita to get ready so they can both go to a man who will give her protection.
Udey sees Lumita getting ready. He looks at her in admiration.
She sees him staring and asks if it's OK for her to go out with his mother.
Udey tells her that she doesn't need his permission to go out with his mother.
Lumita is so shy, she can barely look him or anyone in the face.
Rheka and Lumita get downstairs and grandmother asks where they are going to.
Rheka says there's been something threatening Udey and Lumita's marriage so she wants to take Lumita to a priest.
Rhama points out that Rheka doesn’t believe in astrology so she’s surprised that she wants to go and see a priest.
Grandmother says it is a good idea.
Abhay asks Lisa what she's thinking. She says she's thinking about Lumita making tea for him.
He says she should be like Lumita, wake up early and make him tea.
Lisa says waking up early is difficult for her but she will try.
On the way, Rheka asks Lumita why she's nervous. She assures her that the priest is a very renowned one and he will tell them how to ensure that Lumita’s marriage to Udey is a happy one.
She starts to blame Ranbir again for things not going right in the marriage.
Lumita listens quietly.
Banwari tells Ranbir that Rheka took Udey away at the last minute and he knows Ranbir doesn't like it.
Ranbir says he doesn't like Udey staying away from Lumita.
He says Rheka always has a plan and he won't relax until Udey and Lumita are gone on their honeymoon.
Rheka and Lumita meet the priest. She asks him if he had the horoscopes of Lumita and Udey.
The priest says the horoscope is not good that it why they've been having issues in their marriage.
He turns to Lumita and says she got married to the wrong person that's why her father died and her husband had an accident.
Lumita is crying.
Rheka calms her down.
The priest tells Rheka that as a result of Lumita’s horoscopes not being good, Udey is in danger.
Rheka feigns panic and asks what they should do.
The priest says lumita should stay away from Udey for 21days.
Abhay and Udey are outside the house, on the swing. Abhay tells Udey that he is very naive and doesn’t really know how to handle a woman.
Udey says he has Abhay as his mentor so he is happy.
Abhay says he should stop being too polite for one and that he will teach him all he needs to know while they are away on their honeymoon.
Lumita assures Rheka and the priest that she will stay away from intimacy with Udey so as to save his life.
On the way home, Rheka tells Lumita that she knows it will be difficult to follow the Priest’s orders but she has to and they won't discuss it with anyone in the family.
She tells her not to tell Udey because he doesn’t believe in it.
Lumita agrees not to tell anyone.
Rheka says she will cheer her up by taking her shopping so as to get her ready for her honeymoon.
Lumita says she doesn’t want to go on her honeymoon anymore.
Rheka panics at hearing that. She thinks to herself that Ranbir will blame her if Lumita and Udey don’t go for the honeymoon so she tells Rheka that she needs to go but she should just not get intimate with Udey.
When they get home with the shopping bags, they meet the family in the living room.
Grandmother asks whether they went to the priest like they had earlier said or went shopping.
Rheka says she took Lumita to shop for herself but instead Lumita got gifts for everyone in the house.
Ranbir whispers to Rhama that he wonders why Rheka took Lumita to a priest.
Grandmother asks what the priest said and Rheka lies that he said all is well.
Lumita gives gifts to everyone except Ranbir.
Rheka says Lumita got traditional wears for Lisa but she’s afraid Lisa might not like it.
When everyone else leaves the living room, Banwari asks Ranbir what Rheka is up to.
Ranbir says they need to find out the reason why Rheka took Lumita to a priest.
Lumita goes to meet Lisa and Abhay in their room to give them their gifts.
Lisa opens her gift and says it is pretty but she doesn't wear traditional dresses.
Abhay tells Lumita that Udey is lucky to have married a girl like her.
When Lumita leaves the room, Abhay berates Lisa for not appreciating the gift Lumita gave her.
Lumita gives Udey a necklace and tells him it's for God to protect him. He thanks her and puts it on.
At night, as Rheka is getting ready for bed. Ranjeet says that she has changed and she's really doing right by Lumita.
Rheka says she's their daughter in law so it's her duty.
Her inner voice says Ranjeet is clueless and has no idea that she wants to keep Lumita from getting close to Ranbir and getting intimate with Udey.
