Kumud and Saras are sitting at a Dhaba. Kumud orders two glasses of buttermilk, one for herself and one for Saras. When the server brings them, Saras questions the order. The server informs him that Kumud ordered it. Saras moves the glass to her table and sternly tells her to stay out of his matters, leaving Kumud silently observing him.
At Kumud’s house, a puja is being prepared. Kumud’s mother worries about Kumud and Saras. Kumari mentions a surprise for Saras, which turns out to be his friend Sunny. Saras is delighted to see him, and they share a heartfelt reunion. The family performs the puja together, and Saras introduces Sunny to Badimaa, expressing his gratitude for her care. Ghuman watches with envy as Saras becomes closer to Badimaa.
Later, Kumud, Kusum, and Kumari prepare a room for Sunny. During this time, Sunny and Kumud strike a conversation, where Sunny humorously shares insights about Saras, calling him a “Lord who prefers solitude.” Kumud hints at wanting to learn more about Saras through Sunny. Meanwhile, Saras grows suspicious of their growing camaraderie.
In the hall, a game of musical chairs livens up the evening. Kumud and Saras are the final contestants, and with Sunny’s playful distraction, Kumud wins. Saras remains silent, while Kumud enjoys her victory. The next morning, Kumud gathers flowers as Sunny reflects on how her forgiveness has brought Saras peace.
He admires Kumud’s determination to help Saras confront his fears of relationships. Sunny offers his support, and together, they form a plan to break through Saras’s barriers. As part of the plan, Kumud and Sunny stage a scenario where Saras ends up helping Kumud. Despite Saras’s attempts to maintain distance, Kumud remains hopeful. With Sunny’s encouragement, Kumud resolves to make Saras take a step toward bridging the gap between them.
