After this long hiatus (so sorry again) lots of things happened in Choti bahu, i've been following it and i hope i'll be able to catch you up with the story without forgetting about any details. The head lines, the important parts i'm going to favour now in my reviews. xD
So Radhika has been kicked out of Dev's house because of Purab's appearance and Vishaka's betrayal. Dev comes back and knows something's wrong he decides to go to Vrindavan (Radhika's homevillage) to ask her about the incident. He goes to see Vishaka before and warns her that if it is yet another time her fault Radhika's in problem he will reveal to everyone that she was doing a MV, etc...
Vishaka is not afraid and takes this chance that he will be out of town to make her plan to go to Mumbai and leave this "spouse act" forever. She is counting on Mrinalini's help to get some contacts in the industry and some money too.
Dev is reaching Vrindavan and Radhika is surprised and afraid to see him, she doesn't want him to know the truth so she lies and tells him she left of her own will, she breaks her promise to stay with him because actually she doesn't want to stay there, she is not his wife. She purposedly tells him bad things so that he goes back. Dev then hands her her necklace and Radhika is yearning to take it back but she rejects it. Dev goes back to Delhi, shattered, after gaving his greetings to his father in law.
Dev tries to forget about everything by concentrating on his work, going early, getting home late because he doesn't want to see anyone.
In Vrindavan, there's a ritual for married women to be done in order to ensure their husbands happiness and long health that Radhika is planning to do but Evil Grandma warns her not to dare do the ritual, she locks her in the house. With Kanha's divine help, Radhika succeeds in going out and does the Savitri pooja, by the river, hidden from the other women. But, she is seen by the priest who tells that she has done an inauspicious thing, because she is not married, the other women's rituals have become bad omen, etc... she must be punished. Radhika's father takes her defense.
Actually before, he wanted to search for a husband for her, since she has come back home and doesn't wear the sindoor she wore claiming she wanted to be Kanha's wife. Radhika refused to get married and so Shastri-ji, the father, didn't understand why : "i agreed not to get you married to Kshitij because you said you wanted to devote yourself to a religious life. Now that you finally seem to come back to a human social life by erasing this "wedding-mark" you still don't want to get married ? What am i suppose to understand ? You must give me a reason, or else i won't accept your refusal this time." Radhika was in a dilemma and decided to tell him the truth about her being already married, etc... then he heard her praying in a mandir saying "that in her heart she is married, not showing it doesn't mean she doesn't considerer herself as his wife etc..." She was talking about Dev but luckily he misunderstood and thought she was talking about Kanha (=Krishna), and told her he is sorry and knows now what she feels.
So he takes Radhika's defense telling about Mira's story, in the ancient writings, this girl who was devoted to Krishna her entire life, considered as his wife while never being it, etc... But it doesn't change the fact, the village council has to punish Radhika's actions and it will be the whole family who will have to face the judgement tomorrow morning.
Meanwhile Dev has a project of developing another mandir (= scared temple) and he is invesgating fields, expertise and analysis arrive to the result that the best field is in Vrindavan so Dev has to go to Vrindavan.
The council is happening and Radhika doesn't want her father to be responsible for her acts, so she is doing some "harsh praying". Crawling all the way to the mandir under the harsh sun. She is doing it, tired, hurt but she wants to fulfill her demand so that her prayer will be taken in consideration, a hand reaches to her, she sees Kanha, takes the hand and realizes it's Dev. (whoohooo right right *nods* your Kanha is Dev, understand silly !!). He is stunned and asks her what's happening.
Shastriji is defending Radhika then the council asks him the question "If your daughter is so devotional, how come she was kicked out of the house of the RajPurohit, the family of great priests ?". Shastri-ji is shocked because his wife and mother told them Radhika came back on her own will. So he is speechless. Dev then comes with Radhika saying that she wasn't kicked out, she is very respected by his family, etc... he actually "lies" a little because he knows his grandmother truly respects Radhika but he doesn't know what happened exactly.
Everything is settled, a Rajpurohit took the defense of Radhika. Thinks are not being discussed anymore for the time being.
In Radhika's house, Shasriji is angry and demands explanation to his wife for lyng to her and now demands the truth. Radhika still tries to lie but he shuts her mouth (wow go shastri ji goooooo You're the best !!) and he is warning his wife not to dare lie to him again. Dev is also there and eager to finally know the whole story.
In Delhi, Vishaka is happy because Mrinalini gave her the card of someone in the movie industry, she is dreaming that she will be able to run away from this house, soon, with Dev outside, her dreams will come true. She is waiting for money from Mrinalini (who of course is joking with her) when Granda tells her to go to Vrindavan to meet with Dev and see her family, last thing she wanted to do. So she is reaching Vrindavan.
Devki-Ji, Rad/Vishaka's mother is telling the truth about the night, about Purab, about him being late at night to see Vishaka, about Radhika taking the blame for her sister, etc... Vishaka is at the door, smiling, she enters, and bows in front of her fther happily, putting on a "good daughter" act. The father is enraged and when he realizes she is there in front of him, he slaps Vishaka, so shocked, not understanding what the hell is happening.
