Before he dies, he whispers to Mini that although she may love Narendra, Ghanshyam will make a better husband.Mini writes to Narendra in Calcutta, asking him to return and take her away before any further development.He does not put in an appearance, and mini resigns herself to her fate and is married off to Ghanshyam.
In her new home, mini cannot help noticing that although Ghanshyam is the eldest and the family bread winner, he is shabbily treated in comparison to his step brother and sister.She remains unmoved, for she has not shared her husbands bed and prefers to sleep on the hard floor.
One day Narendra unexpectedly arrives at the house as a guest.Narendra was an old college mate of Ghanshyams step brother.Mini will not appear before him, but things take a different turn when the step mother catches her and Narendra in what appears to be a compromising position.The step mother calls her a wanton woman and even bars her entry into the kitchen.Mini strongly retaliates and is disgusted when Ghanshyam asks her to apologize to his step mother, although he does believe that Mini has done nothing wrong.
