The episode of Maati Se Bandhi Dor aired on 25th August 2024, begins with Vaiju and Rannvijay sharing a moment over tea while it’s raining. Rannvijay questions Vaiju about why she keeps telling the villagers that he is a villager in name only. Vaiju teases him, noting that he’s hiding under shelter due to a little rain, and this leads to a light-hearted argument. Rannvijay, concerned about getting wet before an important meeting, decides to inform his clients that he will be late. Meanwhile, he notices that Vaiju has disappeared. To his surprise, he finds her nearby with an umbrella made of leaves. Vaiju insists that Rannvijay should ride the bike, and she will keep him protected from the rain.

Rannvijay, trusting Vaiju, agrees, and they set off together. Vaiju holds the makeshift umbrella to shield Rannvijay from the rain. As they ride, Rannvijay reflects on how good he feels and wonders if this is what Vaiju meant when she said the rain makes people feel refreshed. On the other hand, Vaiju thinks about how she longed to share such moments with Rannvijay after marriage.

As they continue, their journey takes an unexpected turn when they stumble upon a rock, causing both of them to fall into a puddle. This incident is witnessed by Kaveri, who doesn’t see Vaiju’s face and assumes Rannvijay is with another girl. Curious and suspicious, she wonders who the girl could be.

Rannvijay, concerned, asks Vaiju if she is alright, and she anxiously waits to see if he will scold her. Instead, Rannvijay surprises her by thanking her for showing him the beauty of rain. He smiles, saying that Vaiju has taught him how to find happiness in the small things in life. Vaiju is taken aback as Rannvijay begins to play in the rain, eventually pulling her in to join him.

Meanwhile, at home, Vasundhara notes that Rannvijay is late, despite a scheduled puja. Jaya, trying to cover for him, mentions that he had an important meeting at the mill. Kaveri enters the scene, claiming that she saw Rannvijay riding around the village with a girl. She warns Jaya not to blindly trust Rannvijay. Sulekha, curious, questions Kaveri if she saw who the girl was.

Just then, Rannvijay and Vaiju arrive home, both sneezing from the cold rain. Rannvijay notices Vaiju shivering and immediately covers her with a towel, asking her to dry off. Vaiju smiles, touched by his concern, while Rannvijay heads back inside the house. Jaya, still trusting Rannvijay, decides not to question him about what happened. However, Sulekha insists that she will ask him instead.

Rannvijay is confused by the tense atmosphere and asks why everyone looks so worried. Kaveri explains that she saw him with another girl and, concerned for Jaya, wants to know what is going on. Jaya reassures Rannvijay that she trusts him completely, but Sulekha continues to press for answers. Just as the tension peaks, Vaiju steps in and reveals that it was her who was with Rannvijay. She explains how they slipped off the bike, causing the misunderstanding.

Jaya defends Rannvijay, providing answers to Sulekha’s questions. Kaveri, realizing her mistake, apologizes, but Vaiju gently scolds her, saying she should not have questioned Rannvijay in front of everyone. This brings Rannvijay back to the memory of his forced marriage to Vaiju, as he reflects on how she keeps defending his love for Jaya. However, the episode ends on a somber note as Rannvijay struggles with the guilt of hiding the truth about his relationship with Vaiju from Jaya.

The preview for the next episode hints at a special Janmashtami celebration, where Rannvijay is seen holding Vaiju’s hand while Jaya hugs him, suggesting more complications in their already tangled relationships.
