Runjhun rushes down to look for Guddu. She runs into Kalsanwali and asks her if she has seen Guddu. Kalsanwali taunts Runjhun and tells her that she runs after Guddu 24/7 and asks her if she was planning on sleeping the whole day. She hands Runjhun the bucket she is holding and tells her to get to work. Runjhun puts the bucket down and says no to Kalsanwali and says she needs to find Guddu and rushes out. (Runjhun actually said no to house chores)
Guddu is contemplating last night and thinks about Runjhun, and him kissing her on her cheek, then remembers the calendar. He says this isn't love, but infatuation and he needs to get over it, because for Runjhun, only the challenge is important. Runjhun comes over and finds Guddu. She rushes over to him. Guddu thinks that the dictionary of lies is walking over. Runjhun comes over and they both avoid looking at each other. (She is Runjhun Mishra again)
Runjhun hesitates then finally gets the courage to ask Guddu. She asks him what happened last night. Guddu says last night he was flying in the air, then he crashed hard, and today he's walking on the ground barefoot. Runjhun doesn't understand what he means. She tells him not to talk in riddles but tell her what happened last night. Guddu doesn't want to talk, and he walks off from there, and Runjhun chases after him, calling out to him.
Kalsanwali watches and wonders if the calendar thing worked. Runjhun tells Guddu to stop and says that she wants to know what happened last night. Guddu tells her that he doesn't want to talk about yesterday. Runjhun asks Guddu if she did something to cause him shame yesterday. She tells him that she wasn't herself. Guddu asks her if she really wasn't herself. Runjhun says she is feeling bad about whatever happened and asks him what happened. Guddu tells her she should feel bad. He tells her if she doesn't feel bad then she is shameless. He tells her that he knows to her she is not above playing games, and her game is the most important for her. To win her game, Runjhun will laugh, cry, dance.
Runjhun asks Guddu if they did something. Guddu says that he didn't do anything, it was all Runjhun, this time. He tells her that he doesn't have anything to say to her and walks off again, and Runjhun stops him and tells him to tell her clearly what happened. He says he doesn't want to talk about it and he is not her puppet to do what she wills him to do. Somebody comes along in their bicycle and sees Guddu and Runjhun together and tells Guddu that he's really become a family man that he's out with his wife. Guddu removes his anger on the man, and Runjhun tries to stop him. After the man leaves, Runjhun asks Guddu why is he removing his anger on someone else.
He tells her he will tell her what she wants to know exactly. He asks her if she wants to know if they crossed any line. Runjhun looks away. Guddu says that yesterday they did cross the line. He did touch her. He tells her that he's not so cheap as to take advantage of a girl who is intoxicated. He tells her that when he talks to people he looks them in the eye, and the others might look away but he's never done anything low and cheap that he has to look away. He tells her when he looks into her eye he sees no feeling. He tells her that to her her bet is all that matters. She wants to win, and he will see to it that she loses. He tells her that this bet has made his life hell. Runjhun says that till now he didn't understand her. She tells him that she made the bet, but it wasn't because she wanted him to win. She says no matter how she explains things to him, he doesn't understand. She says she keeps forgetting that the life of their marriage is only till the bet ends, of five days.
Guddu says that now she has remembered. He tells her that they have no relationship other than that of a bet. No marriage, nothing, just that of her bet with him. He tells her that will be over in five days, and says that beyond that they have nothing. He tells her all she has is five days. Runjhun looks disheartened as Guddu walks away.
At home Mittho is looking for Runjhun as Runjhun has done none of her chores for the day. Billo says she is looking for Runjhun too, and Mittho says all the work is left. Kalsanwali comes and says that what they'd planned worked and narrates to them what she saw between Guddu and Runjhun. Then Kalsanwali and Mittho each try to take credit for the plan and Guddu and Runjhun being apart and fighting. They all three fight back and forth and Billo says its not important who did what, as long as it happened. They continue fighting and in the end all three turn away from each other. (I condensed the scene here, was in a hurry)
Mahadevi contemplates how to go to the medical store and get medicine, the abortion pills. She doesn't want anyone to see her or the store owner to ask any questions. The store clerk asks Mahadevi what she wants and since there is another man in the store she asks for chocolates. As the man leaves she hands the store clerk a sheet for abortion pills, and tells him that it is for a friend of hers. The man says he can't give it to her without a doctor's order, and she tells him to take more money but give her the pills. The man thinks about it then agrees.
Runjhun is still thinking about how Guddu changes. She wonders how he can again change so suddenly. She says she doesn't know how to explain to him that the only reason she kept the challenge was so that he never leaves the house and goes. She is thinking about that and spots Mahadevi in the store. She walks towards Mahadevi and Mahadevi tells the clerk to hurry then spots Runjhun and starts telling the clerk to give her digestion pills. The clerk is confused but writes out the medicine.
Runjhun asks Mahadevi what happened and Mahadevi tells her she was ill, but Runjhun asks her why she came this far to get medicine. Mahadevi tells her why she asks so many questions and asks her if she was following her. Runjhun says she wasn't following Mahadevi, she'd come here talking to Guddu. Mahadevi asks her if Guddu left her alone here, and Runjhun doesn't say anything. Runjhun asks Mahadevi why is she buying medicine she already has, and Mahadevi says that she must have forgotten, and goes to leave. Then she wonders what if Runjhun tries to ask the store owner about the medicine. Runjhun on the other hand is still lost in her thoughts, but Mahadevi drags Runjhun away and tells her they will go home together.
Guddu is on the cliff throwing rocks in the water, when he hears a voice, his own voice echoing from the mountains. The voice asks him why is he sitting here like a forlorn Devdas and throwing rocks in the water. The voice tells him that love is for normal people, and not for people like him, and he's forgotten who he is. Guddu looks around for the voice but only sees vast land. The voice tells him to forget all that has happened and in the remaining five days to do all he can to win. The voice says living in Kannauj it is more important to be smart to survive than to be caught in unnecessary traps.
Guddu thinks that how he was with Runjhun before is the best way to be then he won't have to deal with this constant back and forth of emotions. He says that in the next five days he will treat Runjhun the way he always has.
Next Week: The mamis are back to dictating chores for Runjhun. Kalsanwali drags RUnjhun, and as Runjhun tries to pull away, Guddu walks in. Kalsanwali lets go seeing Guddu, and Runjhun falls backwards. Guddu rushes immediately to hold her. He then walks up to Kalsanwali and tells her that Runjhun has become lazy and that they should give her as much work as they can. Kalsanwali looks surprised so does everyone else.
