The episode opens with **Mangal** anxiously waiting for **Kusum** to make a decision regarding an important matter. As she reflects on the situation, she realizes that it’s time for **Sudesh**’s medication. Mangal heads to Sudesh’s room, where she gently gives him his medicine and asks him to be patient for a little while longer, as there is a pooja taking place in the house. She reminisces about the times when she could talk to Sudesh freely, wishing for those moments to return. Hearing the sound of the pooja bell, Mangal understands that the ritual has begun and leaves to join the ceremony.
Upon arriving at the pooja, Mangal finds Kusum performing the rituals with devotion. After completing the pooja, Kusum applies tika to everyone present, including Mangal. This small gesture fills Mangal with warmth and gratitude.
Meanwhile, **Sowmya** approaches Kusum, praising Mangal for her diligent care of Sudesh and noting that he is recovering well. Sowmya insists that Mangal deserves recognition for her efforts and encourages Kusum to apply tika to Mangal after the pooja, pointing out that Mangal looks worried. Initially hesitant, Kusum eventually agrees, applying tika to Mangal’s forehead.
Sowmya secretly watches the exchange, thinking that this act will lead Mangal to believe that Kusum has accepted her marriage to **Kapil**. Mangal, feeling grateful, thanks Kusum for her gesture and expresses her happiness with the decision. She then broaches the subject of whether Kusum plans to speak to **Adit** about the marriage. Sensing the potential for Mangal to reveal too much, Sowmya deliberately breaks a vase to interrupt the conversation. Kusum scolds Sowmya for being careless and leaves the room, creating a moment of tension.
Later, at the office, Mangal is busy working in her cabin when Kapil arrives, offering her a cup of coffee. Curious about his sudden attentiveness, Mangal asks why he is doing all these little things for her, suggesting she could manage on her own. Kapil playfully responds that he intends to do such things for her for the rest of their lives. Just then, **Adit** enters, handing over a file and asking both Kapil and Mangal to review it. He praises them as good business partners and congratulates Kapil on his upcoming wedding before leaving the room. Mangal assumes that Kusum must have spoken to Adit about the marriage, feeling a mix of hope and anxiety.
Soon after, Mangal receives a phone call and leaves her cabin, momentarily distracted from the unfolding events.
Meanwhile, a peon delivers wedding invitation samples sent by **Pratima** to Kapil’s office. Confused about why she sent them there, Kapil calls Pratima, who explains that she is handling the wedding preparations and wants him to choose a card. Kapil mentions that he prefers the red card but thinks Mangal might like the green one, indicating his desire to consider her feelings in the decision. He assures her that he will decide soon.
In a mix-up, Kapil signals the peon to deliver a document to Adit, but the peon mistakenly hands over one of the wedding invitations instead.
At the office, Adit’s colleagues wonder why he hasn’t left for home yet. Adit replies that he is just about to head out. One of the women comments that she expected him to be upset about Kapil’s wedding. Confused, Adit insists that he is happy for Kapil but doesn’t understand their insinuations, and he quickly leaves for home.
Back at home, Kapil shows Mangal the wedding cards and asks for her input. Mangal, however, tells him to make the decision himself. Sensing her reluctance, Kapil inquires if she is unhappy about the wedding. Mangal reassures him that she is content as long as her family is happy, masking her true feelings.
Later, Mangal asks Kusum if she has spoken to Adit regarding the marriage. Kusum admits that she hasn’t yet. Mangal then expresses her confusion over Adit congratulating Kapil if Kusum hadn’t discussed the matter with him, hinting at the underlying tensions and misunderstandings.
Precap
In the upcoming episode, Adit confronts Mangal angrily, expressing his outrage that she has agreed to marry Kapil despite already being a mother of two children. He reveals that although he never believed the rumors about her having an affair with Kapil, the accusations from their colleagues now weigh heavily on him. This confrontation sets the stage for further conflict and emotional turmoil within the family.
