Ajit holds Savita from behind seeing Ajit, Savita overwhelms with joy. Shantidevi
is seeing Savita & Ajit from outside the kitchen. When Savita sees her motherinlaw,
she blushes and tries to get away from Ajit but her efforts goes in vain. Finally she smiles
while Ajit is unaware.
THE END
God you are great!
