In the latest episode of Karthika Deepam, Soundarya tells Hima and Sourya that she has arranged for an outing to Nagarjuna Sagar. She finally convinces them for the trip the next day. She gives them five minutes of playtime. Deepa thanks Soundarya for rescuing her from Sourya’s probe.
Soundarya informs Deepa that Karthik agreed to attend the special puja but on a condition that it is performed in their house. Deepa is glad to know this.
On the other hand, Monitha awaits Durga’s arrival. He comes and mocks her for mistaking Venkat to him. He further asks for the money he demanded. Monitha gives him the money. Her henchmen quickly take him into custody. Monitha grabs the money from him and gives them to her goons. She ridicules Durga for underestimating her. She orders further orders the goons to not release Durga until further instructions from her.
Karthik returns home for lunch. Deepa and Soundarya are scared that the children (Hima and Sourya) might find Deepa and Karthik together.
Deepa locks the doors to avoid the kids. Karthik gets suspicious of her behaviour. Meanwhile, Hima peeps through the window only to get shocked seeing Deepa serving lunch to Karthik. Sourya is also taken aback by this sight.
Soundarya quickly takes them away. After reaching home, Sourya and Hima bombard Soundarya with their doubts and questions about the recent sighting. They ask the reason behind Karthik having food at Deepa’s place and paying her back. Anand Rao and Soundarya stay helpless about the same. The series of questions leaves Soundarya annoyed.
