Kumud reaches school, eagerly waiting for Saras, her face lit up with anticipation. Meanwhile, Ghuman, determined to ruin their plans, fakes a headache in front of Saras. Concerned, Saras begins searching for medicine, unaware of Ghuman’s manipulative intentions. Kumud continues to wait, smiling and hopeful, while Saras wastes time looking for a cure that doesn’t exist.
Saras eventually realizes there’s no medicine and suggests calling a doctor. Ghuman prolongs the charade, asking him to find her purse for the doctor’s number. Time slips away, and Kumud’s joy turns into frustration. She eventually leaves, upset and hurt, feeling abandoned. Ghuman, satisfied with her scheme, smiles slyly as Saras rushes to meet Kumud.
As Saras arrives, he encounters Kumud outside her home. She glares at him, and he quickly apologizes, explaining his delay due to his mother’s supposed illness. Unmoved, Kumud storms into her room and shuts the door, leaving Saras regretful. Elsewhere, Umesh discusses sinister plans with a group of men who demand Kumari, a 16-year-old girl, be delivered to them. Umesh hesitates, asking for more time, but the men press him to act quickly.
Back at home, Kumud vents her feelings to the pigeons, expressing how Saras failed her and left her waiting. Saras overhears and approaches her, playfully saying she should talk to him instead of the birds. Kumud remains upset, but Saras persists in lightening the mood, his charm beginning to work.
Their interaction draws the attention of Badimaa, who smiles knowingly at their dynamic. After dinner, Saras continues trying to win back Kumud’s trust. When Kumud’s mother retires for the evening, Kumud stays behind to handle the chores. Saras joins her, mimicking her actions and turning their tasks into playful banter.
A mishap with flour leads to Saras cleaning Kumud, tenderly brushing the flour from her back and blowing it on her neck. The moment turns romantic, with Saras setting her hair and caressing her cheek. Overwhelmed, Kumud tries to leave, but Saras stops her, holding her hand as they share a shy yet heartfelt connection.
