Khamoshiyan 15th November 2012 Written Update

The episode starts in Kolahpur, where Aai has summoned the whole family together to distribute roles to everyone, to ensure the pooja is smooth sailing. Sunbai tries to please Aai by telling her that she needn’t worry, but Aai is less than happy about her butting in. She rebukes Sunbai’s help, which pleases Appa Saheb’s sister. We are introduced to most of Appa Saheb’s family as Aai delegates the various duties. Sunbai’s son returns home late, which doesn’t go down well with Aai, Sunbai scolds him for being late and informs him that it’s very important he stays home tomorrow for the pooja, he tries to weasel out of attending the pooja, only to be told off more. As all the family leave the room, Appa Saheb’s sister makes sly remarks to Sunbai; she mentions that only those who live by AS’s rules can stay in the house otherwise they are shown the door. (I’m wondering if something similar happened to Ashwini & Pratab?)

Back in Southampton, Gauri has explained the whole situation to Sid and he tries to pacify her, and promises her that once they are married they will go to Kolahpur to get blessings from her whole family. Gauri asks Sid not to give her false hopes. Sid offers to drop Gauri home, but she says she needs some time alone…

Night falls and Ashwini & Pratab await Gauri’s return home. Ashwini asks Pratab if he is annoyed at her for telling Gauri the truth, he tells her that she did what they should’ve done a long time ago, something that maybe he would never be able to do. Pratab goes to sleep while Ashwini anxiously paces the room waiting for Gauri. Gauri returns and straight away apologises to her mum for speaking the way she did to her, Ashwini also apologises to Gauri. Ashwini explains that the only reason they hid the truth from her is because they couldn’t bear to see her unhappy…

The next morning, Sid and his cousins are trying to convince Ashwini & Pratab to let Gauri go on a road trip to Scotland with them (whoop whoop ROAD TRIP – sorry had to be done). Pratab agrees and everyone is thrilled, he explains to Ashwini that it will be good for Gauri to get away for a while. Ashwini reluctantly also agrees to the trip but is still worried for Gauri.

Gauri tells Sid that she’s been thinking a lot about the situation, and decides that it’s time for her to move on and look to the future – their future. Sid is not fooled by Gauri’s speech and asks her for the truth, she goes on to tell him that she still feels sad, hurt & let down because she wanted her whole family to be present. But Gauri decides that for the next 2 days she will only focus on him & his cousins.

Gauri is confused when Sid drives to the airport and asks what’s going on…Sid hands Gauri her passport and ticker and tells her that only she is going – not to Scotland, to India. Gauri begins to panic and says she can’t do this, how can she go to India alone, when her parents think she is in Scotland?! Sid tells her that this is the only chance she’ll get and that he can not see her in this state and she needs to go and get all her answers so she can return to him, her old self.

The episode ends with Gauri walking to the airport, looking back at Sid…

Precap: Gauri arrives at Appa Saheb’s house during the pooja.
