Sunder is shocked too. Gunwanti’s parents themselves are shocked. Sunder too is boggled and shocked, as gunwanti eyes him. her parents ask why is she dressed in white as a widow. she says that she isnt a widow but a sanyasini, and that the white appeases her, and she feels much relief, as per Bhagwad Gita, as whats done was good, and whats happening is good too, and also shall be good what happens. She says that she is forever sacrificing materialistic life, and devoting herself to the services of the lord, and that its her decision and she isnt taking it under anyone’s influence or pressure. she hands the wedding dress to her father and then picks up the picture of her lord, saying that she devotes her entire life to Lord Ram and Goddess Sita. all are shocked, while her parents are apalled. Sunder comes and says that this was as per her consent, then why this decision now. She says that it would have been wrong had she been married to him, as she knows she consented but not him. she says that they were and they shall always be friends, but to sit beside him, that right only belongs to Lajo. all are shocked to hear this name. he says that she is getting married elsewhere as per her consent. she tells him about lajo coming to lahore after he read the letter. sunder is tensed and scared as he faces kishan. he says that he is consenting for this marriage. kishan says that its right as he has given his word. She says that she too has given word that she would devote all her life to ramji. she says that sunder took the decision to marry her, by the mind, and not by the heart, and that a woman can see through a man’s eyes, which cant lie. She says that in his eyes, only lajo is seen. she says that she heard her heart and he has to do the same now, and go to his lajo. sunder is tensed, and out of respect for kishan, he says that he has promised that he would marry her. She asks him to hold his hand on his heart and then say who resides in his heart, in front of everyone. he remembers every conversation with lajo so far, and then speaks up lajo, even himself unaware that he did so. all are shocked. kishan angrily asks what nonsense is this, and asks narayan to explain this to his daughter. narayan asks what should he explain, as her life is ruined if she becomes a sanyasini, and even if she marries him, she would merely be his servant as his love is lajo. he says that even after marrying sunder, she would be married, but would live the life of a sanyasini. She denies this, trying to calm her father. Naraayan Baaba reminds him of his word. he says that he is respected by everyone, but his own son doesnt respect him and his promise. he, in his distraught frame of mind, tells kishan that its proven today, that his word doesnt mean a thing, and that he doesnt deserve respect of the society. Kishan is furious and angrily eyes sunder. narayan says that sunder has forever tainted the pagdi of his own father. He says that he had thought their friendship shall continue for centuries but now it would only be his insult if their names are uttered together, if ever. sunder asks him not o be tesned, as he is okay. he says that he has heard enough, and asks them not to test his patience. she asks him to calm down as sunder isnt at fault. he says that his daughter might say anything, but they need to go out of here, and not expect an ounce of sympathy from them, and get lost before he loses his cool. Kishan and others are shocked. they all leave one by one, leaving her and sunder alone. she asks him to go, as someone is waiting for him. he resignedly leaves. she eyes him going away, tearfully. The chants of her father hum in her ears, as he douses the fire of the hawan. she herself is distraught.
