Pulkit Bhaiya talks so sweetly to me. He helps me a lt. Maharaj ji too helps me a lot. He gives me food, wipes my tears when I cry. There is only one wrong thing about him. He gargles so loud in the morning and runs straight to the washroom. He cannot control it. Everyone smiles. I like Mehri Didi too. She talks fun. She likes to look good. She does her work and talks nonstop. She only has taught me how to wash clothes nicely. My Babu is very straight and honest. I had met Bappa on the ghaat the day my my Bappa died. I too would have plunged into Ganga ji if it wasn’t for him. He saved me. He brought me to his home. I got a new family. Bappa used to say that he will always be with me. I was angry when he left me. I thought he lied to me. he was not with me. But later I realised, my Bappa came in the form of Babu. Everyone has tears in their eyes. He takes very good care of me. he teaches me good things, just the way Bappa used to teach me. I too will become like him when I grow up. I will be famous. I will help everyone. I will never let Babu get angry because I feel bad when that happens. I feel like crying. Niru wipes his tears and so does everyone else. Niru reads, Yash says this family isn’t mine. But I know that this is indeed my family. Babu is there in palce of Bappa. There is Bahu ji in place of Maiyya. Now this is my home. I will always live here with all of them. Ganga asks Babu if it’s true. Will anyone will ask her to leave this house. He opens his arms and she happily rushes to give him a warm hug. Even Prabha is all emotional.

Amma ji is surprised that such a small girl wrote such a big essay. Prabha thinks that Ganga might have seen some film of tv. Yash is also irked that she added his name in it. Ganga repeats that she never lies. Niru gives her result. You speak well but your writing style is wrong. Grammar sense is really bad. The work is not neat. Kids get marks for god handwriting too. You have written everything nicely. You can express yourself pretty good. She gets glad that she has passed her exam. She smiles.

Amma ji goes to sleep. Babli congratulates Ganga. She wishes everyone goodnight and leaves. Niru says you will have to study really hard now. Ratan leaves with his family. Sagar looks away when Ganga looks at him. Madhvi compliments Ganga for the essay. Niru tells Ganga to sleep. Get ready early tomorrow morning. We have to go somewhere. You will really like it there. It is a prize for you from my side. You deserve it. Sagar looks down. Niru notices this. You deserve a gift as you got good marks. Sagar gets a laptop for studies purpose. Pulkit stands there all sad. Madhvi notices this. Sagar rushes to his room. Ganga too goes to her room. Pulkit too heads upstairs. Amma ji calls out for Madhvi so she heads to her room.

At night, Madhvi is all lost in thoughts. She thinks of Babli’s and Ganga’s words. Niru calls out for her but she isn’t listening. He brings her out of her reverie. She wonders if she should tell him everything or not. He has brought a gift for her too. I am feeling peaceful after so long. Finally everything is settling down for good. Tomorrow is Drishti’s engagement. Ganga too has decided to study. People are right, time passes. We all were really tensed since past some days. Finally all the problems are over. He notices her tensed. She decides not to give him any tension. Plus I don’t have any proof against Omkar Bhaisahab. I am happy to see you happy.

Next morning, Amma ji wakes up Ganga. Ganga is happy that she will take her with her. It’s been days. Aren’t you angry with me anymore? Amma ji reminds her of her essay anymore. I am not your enemy. I want you to follow the rules. Ganga gets up immediately. Widows should do Ganga snan in the morning. Let’s go. Amma ji gives Ganga her potli.

Niru is doing yoga. Amma ji is surprised to see him up so early. he says yoga keeps one fit. You only say that. She nods. Your father used to do it. Teach it to Sagar and Pulkit too. She begins to go but Niru stops Ganga from going to Ganga ghaat with Amma ji. Amma ji leaves. Niru doesn’t share it with Ganga as well as to where they are going. He resumes his Yoga.

Niru brings Ganga to school. Ganga looks at the Principal room. She recalls how the kids had mocked her. I came here till now as Sagar’s friend yet they mocked me. Now I will be a student here. Niru has submitted her admission form. She is amazed that he will get her admitted in Sagar’s school only. Babu is going so much for me. She mentally promises him that she will study hard. Principal enters the room. He looks at Ganga from top to toe. Niru stands up and makes Ganga follow suit. Principal says I don’t think I will be able to help you in any way. Epi ends on Ganga’s sad face.

Precap: Niru speaks to Tiwari ji. Ganga has changed. Tiwari ji refuses to teach Ganga. Ganga folds her hands before him. Please listen to Babu. I promise I will study hard.

It’s been 2 years since this girl left school. Plus it was Hindi medium. She will have to start afresh if you want her to start studying. Niru doesn’t mind it. Principal suggests him to try somewhere else. The standard of this school is really high. Kids from rich / good houses come here to study. I don’t think this girl will be able to fit in here. Her confidence will be broken. I will advise you to get her admitted in a government school. Niru thanks him for his advice. I don’t think Ganga’s confidence will break or she will not fit in here. Ganga nods. Babu is right. A school is a school. I will try hard. Principal talks about the entrance exam which she will have to clear to get admission here. Writing such essays is easy. She doesn’t know anything, English or Computers. Kids here are proficient in both. How will she match up with this? Ganga says you cannot judge me without testing me. I will pass the exam however hard it is. Niru adds that she will have to prove it. Think and tell. You have time. Are you ready to try? Ganga affirms. I will do it. Niru gives the form back to Principal. I hope you don’t have any problem now. Principal takes it. I will call you in a few days for the exam. He goes to submit the form. Niru says it is all in your hands. Will you be able to do it? Ganga nods. I will do it. Niru decides to rope in Tiwari ji for the help for the exam. Don’t tell anything to Amma ji till the time the exam is done.

Niru speaks to Tiwari ji. Ganga has changed. Tiwari ji refuses to teach Ganga. I know I am poor but I cannot get myself insulted. Ganga folds her hands before him. Please listen to Babu. I promise I will study hard. I will not trouble you I promise. Please help me. Come one day. You can stop coming from the next day onwards if I trouble you. Babu or no one will ask you to come then. Tiwari ji agrees to give her a chance. I will first check if she has changed or not. Niru requests him to come in the evening itself. Tiwari ji goes to bring tea for him. Niru turns to Ganga. Everything is in your hands. You will have to impress him. Behave so nicely that he agrees to teach you. I tried my best. Now it is your turn. It all depends on you.

Haldi ceremony is happening at Chaturvedi House. Some ladies are singing songs. Omkar tells everyone not to do anything. I just had a word with our in-laws. Someone in his family died. He has asked us to postpone this engagement. I dint ask in details. Dubey Ji only said that this engagement will not happen. Niru and Amma ji nod. We cannot push anyone for it. It’s not a good time. We will get a little more time for preps. Prabha is concerned about the sweets or they will rot otherwise. Babli is sad.

Ganga wonders what she should do to make Master ji happy. She recalls something. I will write A to Z 100 times. But it will take lots of time. I will learn Mary and Little Lamb. He always used to teach it to me. She starts reading it. Yash is watching her from far. Sagar comes there. Master ji is coming again so she is studying. Yash wants to play games on laptop. Sagar stops him. Papa has given it to me for studies. He takes the laptop and goes out. Yash decides to teach a lesson to Ganga.

Yash plays loud music. Ganga cannot concentrate. Sagar too tells Yash to switch off the music as Ganga is studying. Yash doesn’t care. Ganga requests Yash to lower the volume but Yash wants Sagar’s laptop in return. Ganga asks Sagar to lower the volume Yash but Sagar declines. I am not your friend. Why should I listen to you? Why should I take your side then? Ganga looks at both of them and then goes out. Sagar feels bad.

Sudha and Pishi Ma are sitting with Amma ji. They discuss about the engagement. Omkar is eyeing Sudha. Amma ji thinks that some evil eye has fallen on them.

Ganga holds her ears. Sagar goes out to check. Ganga picks up her books and walks away.

Maharaj ji brings tea for the ladies. Omkar asks him to bring some snacks too. Sudha ji looks so frail. He adds Pishi Ma’s name hastily. Sudha is taken aback. Amma ji doesn’t find anything odd about it. He is so concerned about everyone all the time. Pishi Ma suggests Amma ji to keep a Ramayan Paath at home. It will benefit the house and its people. Sudha nods. She notices Omkar staring at her. Amma ji wants to consult a priest first. You both will have to come every day. Pishi Ma is not keeping so well but she agrees from Sudha’s side. Sudha is not comfortable. Omkar understands Pishi Ma’s point. Pishi Ma is getting old but Sudha is not. She will come. Sudha is getting irritated. I will do what all I can do. Amma ji, Pishi Ma, Prabha and Sudha get up to go to temple. Amma ji shares it with Madhvi. We are going to temple to speak to priest. Madhvi doesn’t want to leave the kids alone at home. Amma ji tells Maharaj ji to take care of the house in their absence. They also take Drishti with them. Omkar too offers to join them.

Ganga cannot study anywhere. It is already 4:15.

Maharaj ji is going to market to bring fruits and milk. He updates the maid (Mehri) but she is not paying heed while washing clothes. Her phone rings. Mrs. Mishra asks her to come over. Mehri decides to leave right away. I will come back to do the rest of the cleaning.

Tiwari ji parks his scooter outside Chaturvedi House. Ganga gets tensed as she hasn’t memorised the poem yet. How will I impress him? Yash shouldn’t have played the song so loud. Master ji will get upset. He will refuse to teach me!

Tiwar ji is still upset with Ganga when he enters. Let’s go to study. He begins to go upstairs when his feet stumble. He slips from the stairs. Ganga looks at him wide eyed.

Precap: Yash calls Ganga a thief. Sagar scolds Ganga. How dare you take it (missed what it was) without asking me! Everyone scolds her.

THURSDAY ON TIMELESS LOVE - EPISODE 93

LIKE TO APPRECIATE, COMMENT AND SHARE

Alfonsina is on the cusp of telling Karina the truth about the blanks that Doc has been shooting but we cut away to the argument between Jero and Nata. In his frustration and bitterness, Jero walks out on Nata in disgust. She hits her knees in tears.

Alfonsina tells Karina that Doc is sterile. Kari is impactada. She hyperventilates and hurries out of the room.

Matias and Julieta chat over coffee. She wants to meet Adriana and make amends. He agrees to introduce them.

Chema carries Adriana into the kitchen and offers to teach her all of his cooking secrets. She is bummed out because of Honorio's situation but Chema is determined to cheer her up. He dons on an apron, puts a chef hat on Adri, and they start baking a cake. They toss eggs and flour at each other - a scene reminiscent of the Chema/Coni food flirtation from several weeks ago.

Lazaro finds Karina crying and comforts her. Kari openly sobs about how Doc always blamed her for being a bad wife because she could not have children. In reality, it was his fault all along. Laz says Kari doesn't deserve all the tears Doc made her cry. She vows to give Doc an earful.

Constanza clutches a letter and cries as she waits for the police to bring Honorio in for a visit. He turns to leave as soon as he sees her but Coni cries that she needs him. Hon is embarrassed that she has to see him there; he wrote it in the letter that he doesn't want her or Adriana to see him locked up. Coni needs Hon's advice: she thinks that Fina is the woman who ruined Regina's life and kidnapped her daughter. (Hooray! Coni discovered that 2 + 2 does indeed equal 4.)

Coni figured out that the dates that Pepa was in Oaxaca coincide with the dates that Fina was supposedly there as well. One of Fina's daughters might be Regina's. After all, both Coni and Hon have seen how awfully Fina treats Nata. Hon assures Coni she isn't crazy for thinking such a thing about Fina. (Lets just hope this development doesn't eventually earn Coni the number one slot on Fina's hit list.)

Regina gives Gonzo an invitation to the gala. The Monterrubios are in no mood to party but Gonzo wants to go so he can be with Regi. She tells Gonzo that she wants to invite Jero to the party. Gonzo has no problem with it as long as they steer away from the topic of Nata.

Speaking of changing the topic, Gonzo thinks he and Regi should announce an engagement at the gala. He makes a big show of telling Regi that he is finally divorced from the Fina Monster. He scoops her up into a big hug and Regi has stars in her eyes.

Agustin pours Nata a glass of wine and listens to her complaints about Jero. Nata is now officially divorced. Augie says that Nata can move on and begin a new chapter of her life now that Jero is gone for good.

Jero takes a nighttime walk with Gitana. He strokes her mane and wonders how he could have been so cruel to Nata.

Constanza arrives home and spies Adriana and Chema goofing around in the kitchen. It reminds her of her own flirty food time she spent with Chema. Coni crashes the party and the temperature in the room drops a few degrees. Chema wipes an icing mustache off his face and takes his leave. An awkward silence passes between the two ladies.

Honorio broods in his jail cell. He swears that once he gets out of jail, he will forgive Constanza for everything that happened between them and help her figure out how to proceed with the PepaFina problem.

Alfonsina tentatively asks to talk with Ezequiel over breakfast. She tells him that her baby is his. Alfi leaves it up to him whether he wants to be in his child's life or not.

Augie has business to attend to but hates to leave Nata. She assures him she will be fine on her own.

Over the phone, Regi tries to convince Jero to come to the gala. Jero is too down in the dumps. Plus, Jero is furious with Gonzo because he (Gonzo) had Nata sent to hide at Augie's hacienda. Regina is shocked but believes that Jero is reaping what he sowed in regards to Nata. Nata is treating Jero the way he used to treat her.

Carlos shows off his new digs to his parents. His madre sticks her nose up in the air and criticizes everything. It isn't good enough for her hijo.

Jero replays Nata's words in his mind and Marina interrupts his hair-tugging and self-kicking. She invites him to her uncle's birthday party and Nata wanders over. Jero agrees to think about it and makes sure Nata seems him kiss Marina's hand.

Marina excuses herself and Nata starts a fight with Jero over Gitana. She wants her moved back to Augie's ranch. They argue and Jero asks Nata what she was doing in his room the other night.

Carlos is all excitement and smiles while thinking about the wedding. His parents want to meet their future daughter-in-law that afternoon.

Jero refuses to believe Nata when she denies having been in his room. He felt her presence and smelled her perfume. He grabs Nata and says that dreams do not wear perfume. Nata makes Jero let her go so she can collect her horse.

Karina prays for strength in her situation with Doc. She suffered for so long because Doc blamed her for not being able to have children. Kari feels so resentful and furious; she doesn't know what to do.

Jero trails Nata into the fields. Nata is tired of opening old wounds about La Bonita and tells Jero to scram.

The bells of doom chime as Constanza comes in to work at the centro kitchen. Chema asks her why she has been so distant lately. She crumbles about feeling overwhelmed, sad, and alone. Chema hops over the table and offers to help. Coni says there are some things in her life she does not want him to get involved in. Chema pulls her up and gives her a hug.

Regina, Ines, and Cata make plans for the gala. Regi wants everything to be perfect for the donors. Cata has a hissy fit about Regi mentioning the Monterrubios and leaves to look at glassware. Ines and Regi squeal in excitement over Regi's upcoming engagement.

Matias tells Gonzo that he plans to start going out with Adriana again. Gonzo hopes the news will cheer Honorio up a little. Gonzo tells Matias that he is going to propose to Regina. Both fellas are ridiculously happy.

Blanca, incognito in an ugly track suit, meets up with Daniel in a mall. She checks him to make sure he isn't hiding a microphone. Too bad she's a crummy detective and doesn't notice that they are being watched. A cop in a nearby store has them on camera. Blanca is upset that Nata got away. She vows that Gonzo will be the next to fall for getting in the way of her plans.

Fina is surprised to hear that Roberta left the house with her luggage earlier that morning. Hija dearest answers the phone from the airport. She tells Mami to deal with all the trouble on her own. Berta is going out of town for some fresh air.

Augie does some business over the phone and a huge dude meets up with him at a cafe. Augie slides him an envelope of cash and puts the hit out on Doc Nesme. (Oh, Christmas has come early for viewerville!)

Carlos gives Matilde the gift from his parents. It's a traditional dress from where he is from. She will get to wear it that very night at dinner. Mati is deliriously happy.

Nata remembers bumping into Marina at the airport. How could Jero move on so quickly after having gone to such lengths to prove his love for her? She cries at her own stupidity for believing him. It's over. Never again will Nata be the same sentimental and romantic girl who believed in eternal love.

Jero vents to Carlos and vows that Renata is never to set another foot on La Bonita soil.

Marina wonders how Nata and Jero could have ended up so resentful of each other. She noticed a great passion between the two of them.

Nata tells Augie that she has decided to live her life in a different way. Augie admits that he has been in love with Nata since the first time he saw her. "Now that you are a free woman, I don't want to waste anymore time. Will you marry me?"

Nata recalls all the nasty things Jero did to her while she was married to him. She stares at the ring and says yes. (!!!) Augie puts the ring on her finger and they kiss.

Avances: From what I could make out, the gala will be a hotbed of activity. Augie swears that Nata will be his. What else is new?
