Pakhi says I know you don’t like the environment of hospital so I did all this to welcome you back. Ragahv says thank you for doing this all for me. Gauri overhears and is so resented. Mummy ji says I will send you the juice.
Raghav says to Pakhi, kalpi must have gone to hospital but I could not meet her. She must have called. Pakhi says yeah she should have called but she didn’t. Raghav says that’s not possible. Call and tell her that I am discharged.

Update: Friday On The Vow (Episode 396-398)

Aniket calls Sindoora a murderer and warns her that although she has evaded the police, she cannot escape him. He loudly proclaims to the people that Sindoora is a murderer and asks them never to trust her! Sindoora tells the people that the man looked mentally unstable and asks Harish to take him to a place from where he will never return. Meanwhile, Mahua's young son, Samrat, goes hunting with his friends. His friend, Akash, is frightened about having shot an endangered beast but Samrat assures him that with his maternal aunt, Sindoora, around he has nothing to worry. When Samrat returns home, Rajiv asks him where he was from morning because Mahua and he wanted to wish him on his birthday, but Samrat goes up to Sindoora first to seek her blessing.

Sindoora looks at Samrat and thinks about Guruji's prophecy. She gloats that Samrat is a puppet in her hands! Sindoora then informs him about a grand party being held for his birthday. Samrat says that he wants to invite a friend named Divya for his party whom he had met in London and was coming to India later in the night. When Sindoora asks him whether Divya is something more a friend, he replies that she is the sole heiress to millions in London and has no parents, so marrying her would prove profitable for them. Rajiv is taken aback by Samrat's confession. When Mahua and Rajiv suggest to Sindoora to delve into the matter, she asserts that Samrat is a sensible boy. Later, Sindoora gets hurt holding a necklace and her finger begins to bleed profusely, so she gets frightened and immerses her hand in a vase filled with water! Samrat comes to the room and assures her that it is only a minor cut and the water is clear.

Sindoora wonders whether the return of her fear, her imagining the blood and meeting Aniket earlier in the day are an omen of impending doom! Meanwhile, Rajiv and Mahua feel bad when people congratulate Sindoora on Samrat's birthday and not them. A storm occurs in the midst of the party when a girl steps out of the car. Sindoora and her family are stunned to see that the girl looks just like Vidya! Who is she?

Samrat introduces the girl as Divya to Sindoora. Divya extends her hand to Sindoora but Sindoora merely watches on, shell-shocked! A pleased Rajiv recalls Guruji's prophecy. Sindoora calls her Vidya and says that it is impossible! She then goes away. Divya is baffled. Samrat introduces Divya to Rajiv and Mahua. Hema too looks on with disbelief at Divya. A shocked and frightened Sindoora wonders why this girl has come here when she had wiped off the past! Meanwhile, Samrat cuts the cake.

Sindoora looks at Divya and gets a feeling that something is changing! After the party, Samrat is about to take Divya to her room but Sindoora says that she cannot stay in the house. Samrat insists on knowing why, so Sindoora replies that a girl who will be the daughter-in-law of the house cannot stay back before marriage. Divya is surprised. Sindoora asks Samrat to keep her in a hotel. Later, when Samrat declares his love for Divya and asks her to give him a chance to prove his worth, she obliges and says that she will think about it. On the other hand, he promises to convince Sindoora to let her stay back. Sindoora tells Samrat that Divya is not worthy of being a daughter-in-law of their house and asks him to send her back home after some days. However, Samrat tells her that he hasn't sent Divya anywhere. Sindoora is taken aback at Samrat's defiance.

Samrat tells Sindoora that it makes no difference to him if she does not like Divya because he likes her a lot and is certainly deserving of becoming a daughter-in-law of the house! He asserts that she will stay back. Sindoora decides not to provoke Samrat because she does not want him also to become a rebel just the way her brother had! Sindoora gives Samrat the permission and he assures her that Divya will prove beneficial for them. However, Sindoora fears that Divya will bring about her damnation.

Samrat is taking Divya to her room when she suddenly stops in front of Sagar's room that's sealed. She questions Samrat about the lock, so he replies that Sindoora has barred them from going anywhere near it because there's apparently a ghost of a maid. Sindoora overhears. Chandra asks Sindoora not to get worried because Divya questioned only about the lock. Meanwhile, Mahua voices her concern about Sindoora's intentions regarding Divya but Rajiv assures her that Sindoora will not do anything untoward because she is a public figure now and has the mayoral elections coming up. Rajiv further says that if destiny has brought her here, then it must be for a reason.

Divya is unable to sleep and curiosity gets the better of her, so she goes near Sagar's room and is surprised to see the lock missing. She opens the door and goes inside. She sees a lady in white and is about to touch her when Divya wakes up with a start and realises that it was only a dream! Meanwhile, Harish asks Hema to keep a constant eye on Divya because she has come to seek revenge from Sindoora. Sindoora brushes Harish's comments aside. Divya wakes up and is happy to see the idol of Lord Shambhunath in the prayer room.

Update: Thursday On King Of Hearts (Episode 484-485)

Roshni continues to cry. Sid says she will not come if you call her, but she will come when her Sid calls her. He calls Roshni and says it is me Siddharth. He asks her to come out and wishes her happy birthday. He brings candle on the cupcake, and cuts it on Roshni’s behalf, and also cuts his finger. Roshni looks at his injured finger, but doesn’t get affected. Sid says you are not affected as you are Ragini Desai. He says new name, new style, new clothes, life style, life and relations. He asks why? He shouts and asks why? He asks why this drama? He asks why did you leave me to die every moment. He says you don’t have the right to kill my Roshni. He asks why???

He holds closer to Roshni and says I was thinking why my love didn’t give me a chance to meet my Roshni once, but my love was not betraying me. He says my Roshni was betraying me. He asks why did you leave me so far. Roshni cries. She asks him to leave her hand. Sid says I have felt this pain since 2 years, and now you have to bear it. Roshni asks him to leave her hand. He says you can go if I leave you, and then I will die. I can’t let you go. Roshni shouts asking him to leave her.

Roshni says I went far from you as I can’t bear tears and emotions. She says this is what we get when we are together. She says whoever was near us, left us. She says our relation has ruined everything. I feel suffocated and feels like burden in this relation. I can’t see us romancing and the people around us getting killed. She says I have killed Roshni Patel who knew only to love. She asks sid, do you accept love which is kept on someone’s death. She holds his face and says I want to show what Roshni have went through. She asks him to look around and see what she has lost. She says DD Patel and Mrs. Khurana were never friendly. She says you have lost your sasumom. She says open your eyes and see. She asks I can’t forget anything…She says I killed Roshni and moved on….She says God knows that Roshni loves only Sid…but she was Roshni, but I am Ragini…I don’t feel any emotions or love. Sid is shocked.

She says I’m Ragini , not Roshni. We both can’t ever be together. She says it is just a feeling. Siddharth and Roshni are just a feeling not real. Sid says that you see everything I see only Roshni. She says that you’re thinking about yourself, this time I’ll die myself if anyone gets destroyed because of us. She says you are living without Roshni na. Aanya is good for you. Keep living as you are. Roshni goes away making him leave her hand.

Mami sees them and thinks something is wrong. Sid says we have suffered a lot ,our love has , now we won’t. Ragini goes and hugs Neil saying take me home. She is crying. They sit in car and she sees Sid staring at them. He runs behind the car as they go away. Sid has flashbacks of them and is walking on a road as a song plays.

Roshni is thinking and crying. Neil looks at her in concern. She remembers how she told Sid of him coming between mom and her. Sid remembers what talk they had today. Roshni remembers Sid saying the difference between us is you see everything , I see only Roshni. Sid takes Roshni’s pic and pours alcohol on it he throws it in fire. As the pic is heating he tries to blow the fire out.
He lies down on road. 

Neil gives a tissue to Roshni seeing her cry. She says I’m sorry. He asks why. She says made so many efforts for me and I..he says then don’t ask for gift if I forgive you. She smiles. She feels cold. Neil turns off the AC for her and opens the window. Neil says I don’t want to know what happened to you. 

Simran is concerned as Sid isn’t home. She says I think something will go wrong as it is Roshni’s birthday. Raj asks her to calm down , he’ll be fine. Bunty and Raj go to find Sid and he finds him laying on road. Sid falls as they reach home. He laughs and says where do I go dad. Bhag ke kahan jaye deewana jab ishq ho gaya begana. He tells Raj and says she is alive dad, Roshni. He says I’m fine dad. Sid stumbles in his room , he sees her pic. Raj says why are you drunk for someone who is dead.

Raj says she was my daughter I love her , I remember her. Sid says yes dad remember her, very much, she left us. Sid says I felt sad because she wasn’t with me , I never remembered her. I felt void without her. He looks at her photo. Rubaru plays. He says I felt the void of Roshni. He says she is in my life, in my heart. After she left, now I remember. She left me, away from me. Very far. I can’t feel her inside me. Now I remember a lot. I wish I hadn’t met her, at least she would have been with me.

Sid tells his family that Ragini has snatched his Roshni from him. He breaks Roshni’s photo frame angrily. He says I was idealistic. He says Roshni’s death news was fake, everything was a lie. Raj and Bunty are shocked. Sid says well played sweet heart. Bunty feels his pain and gets teary eyes. He says I don’t understand it. Sid says your brother in law’s life is ruined. He says that girl have ruined me. Raj is shocked too. Sid says I don’t understand either and asks him not to get emotional. He says did you remember hitler Desai, she is my sasumom’s reflection….Roshni. He says she is my Roshni, then says he is not my Roshni but Ragini. He says Ragini has killed my Roshni. He says I have to stay alone now. He says your saala is finished.

Raj is in shock. Sid tells him that Roshni has snatched smile from my face. She has done wonder, now this is life.  He says when I met Roshni after two years, I couldn’t stop staring at her. I hugged her and looked at her. He says she was standing alive in front of me. He says she asked me to stay my life with someone’s else, and she will spend her life with someone else. He says she has taken my life from me. He says people do change. He says he is tired and lie down on the floor. He feels pain as the glass piece pierced into his feet. Raj asks what have you done? Sid says this wound is nothing in front of what Roshni did to me. Raj thinks Roshni is alive.

Neil asks Ragini to sleep for sometime, and says we will meet tomorrow in office. Roshni holds his hand and thanks him. She says I mean it. You are really a good friend. Neil says I know, I am the best. He hugs her and says good night before leaving. Roshni looks at the flower vase and puts water in it. She thinks about their conversation juda hoke bhi song plays. The water overflows from the vase as she is lost thinking. She sees water over flowing and cries. She asks DD to help her, says she went far from Sid. She asks why did he come back? She says why am I feeling weak again and cries.

Neil comes back home. Mami asks where was you? She says everyone was asking about Ragini and you. She says Ragini was looking sad and I might know the reason. Neil says he don’t want to listen and goes. Mama comes and laughs on her. He says Neil has shown your place in one go. Mami asks him to stop it and says I will enquire what is cooking between Ragini and Jamai Raja.

Neil gets Ragini’s call. She says she wants to shift to Delhi and can’t stay there anymore. Neil says I am in lobby, will sit and discuss. Ragini says okay. Just then she hears someone knocking on the door. She opens the door and finds Raj standing.
