On August 25, 2024, the episode of Maati Se Bandhi Dor begins with Vaiju and Rannvijay enjoying tea while it rains outside. Rannvijay questions Vaiju about why she keeps telling the villagers that he is just a villager by name only. Vaiju jokes about how Rannvijay is hiding under the shelter just because of a little rain. Rannvijay, feeling defensive, argues that he has an important meeting and cannot afford to get wet. He decides to inform his clients that he will be late to the meeting.
Rannvijay soon notices that Vaiju is no longer beside him. He finds her standing with an umbrella made of leaves, ready to protect him from the rain. Vaiju encourages him to ride the bike while she keeps him dry with her makeshift umbrella. Rannvijay, touched by her gesture, trusts her and they begin their journey together. Vaiju holds the leaf umbrella over Rannvijay, and he starts to feel unexpectedly good. He wonders if this is what Vaiju meant when she said that rain makes people feel refreshed. As they ride together, Vaiju reflects on how she had always wanted moments like this with Rannvijay after their marriage.
While riding, they suddenly stumble upon a rock in their path, causing both of them to fall into a puddle. Kaveri, who sees them from a distance, doesn’t recognize Vaiju and mistakenly thinks that Rannvijay is out with another girl. She wonders who the girl could be. Concerned, Rannvijay asks Vaiju if she is okay. Vaiju, expecting him to scold her, is surprised when Rannvijay instead thanks her for showing him how beautiful rain can be. He smiles and tells her that she 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 and even pulls her into the fun.
Meanwhile, at home, Vasundhara is worried that Rannvijay is late even though there is a puja scheduled. Jaya, trying to calm her, explains that Rannvijay had an important meeting at the mill. However, Kaveri arrives and tells Jaya that she saw Rannvijay riding around the village on a bike with another girl. Kaveri warns Jaya not to trust Rannvijay blindly. Sulekha, intrigued by the situation, asks Kaveri if she saw who the girl was. Just as the tension builds, Rannvijay and Vaiju return home, both sneezing from being soaked in the rain. Rannvijay notices Vaiju shivering and quickly covers her with a towel, asking her to dry herself. Vaiju smiles at the gesture while Rannvijay heads inside.
Jaya, still trusting Rannvijay, decides not to question him about the incident. Sulekha, however, insists on getting to the bottom of it. Rannvijay, confused by the worried looks from everyone, asks why they seem so concerned. Kaveri, trying to justify her actions, tells Rannvijay that she saw him with another girl and was worried about Jaya. She demands to know who the girl was.
Jaya steps in and reassures Rannvijay that she trusts him completely. Despite Jaya’s support, Sulekha continues to press Rannvijay for an explanation. Before the situation escalates, Vaiju steps forward and reveals that she was the one with Rannvijay. She explains how they slipped off the bike due to the rock. Jaya defends Rannvijay against Sulekha’s suspicions, but Kaveri, realizing her mistake, apologizes for jumping to conclusions. Vaiju, however, reprimands Kaveri for questioning Rannvijay in front of everyone without knowing the full story.
As the episode nears its end, Rannvijay is reminded of his forced marriage to Vaiju. Vaiju continues to defend him, insisting that he loves Jaya deeply. However, Rannvijay is left with a heavy heart, realizing that he, too, is being dishonest with Jaya by keeping the truth about his relationship with Vaiju hidden.
The episode closes with a glimpse of the upcoming Janmashtami celebration. The preview shows Rannvijay holding Vaiju’s hand while Jaya embraces him, hinting at the complex dynamics that will unfold in future episodes.
Episode ends.
