The episode begins with an air of anticipation as Aniruddh notices a subtle yet significant movement from Jhanak—her finger twitching slightly. This small sign of life fills him with hope, and he excitedly shares his observation with those around him. The attending doctor, alerted by Aniruddh’s excitement, also takes note of Jhanak’s movement and steps forward to assess her condition. Outside the room, Parashar watches the scene unfold with a sense of joy and relief, believing that Jhanak is on the path to recovery. He enters the room, eager to see her progress, but the doctor asks both Aniruddh and Parashar to step outside for a moment while he conducts his examination.
Once outside, Parashar turns to Aniruddh, expressing his optimism about Jhanak’s recovery. He attributes this positive development to Aniruddh’s heartfelt prayers, which he believes have played a crucial role in helping Jhanak. Aniruddh, however, insists on staying close, wanting to keep an eye on Jhanak from the waiting area. Parashar acknowledges Aniruddh’s deep love for Jhanak, remarking on how evident it is. Aniruddh, with a heavy heart, responds that Jhanak is not just a part of his life; she is his very soul. He confesses that the thought of losing her would completely destroy him. Parashar reassures him that such true love will surely bring Jhanak back to health.
After some time, Aniruddh can no longer contain himself and decides to enter the room again. He approaches Jhanak’s bedside and gently asks her how she is feeling. To his relief, Jhanak replies that she is doing fine. However, she quickly questions him about what he is doing there and who informed him of her condition. Aniruddh explains that it was Mimi who told him everything. In a surprising turn, Jhanak insists that he should leave. Aniruddh, determined, stands his ground, stating that he will not abandon her. He apologizes for any pain he may have caused her in the past.
Jhanak, feeling conflicted, reminds Aniruddh that she is now someone else’s wife, making it inappropriate for him to speak to her in such a way. Aniruddh counters her assertion, claiming that she still loves him, and he believes that deep down, she knows it too. He expresses his intention to speak to Parashar about getting Jhanak back, confident that Parashar, being a good person, will understand. Jhanak, however, firmly tells him that he cannot do such a thing. When Aniruddh presses her about her feelings for Parashar, Jhanak falls silent, leaving the question hanging in the air. Aniruddh then suggests that she needs rest and that he wants to take care of her, but Jhanak retorts that she is not a toy and questions why she should agree to go with him.
At that moment, Parashar enters the room, interrupting their conversation. He addresses Aniruddh directly, stating that Jhanak is not his wife. Aniruddh is taken aback by this revelation. Parashar explains that he never married Jhanak; he had fabricated the story of their marriage to help both her and Moon. He acknowledges that he knows Jhanak’s heart still belongs to Aniruddh. Jhanak, feeling embarrassed, urges Parashar to stop. But Parashar, with sincerity, expresses his desire for Jhanak and Aniruddh to be reunited. He proposes that they should get married at the forest temple, suggesting that he will gather the villagers to witness their union. Jhanak, bewildered by this suggestion, asks Parashar what he is talking about. Parashar insists that he wants nothing more than for Jhanak and Aniruddh to find happiness together.
Meanwhile, in a different part of the house, Abhijeet and Ambika enter Ishani’s room, where a somber atmosphere prevails. Abhijeet inquires about Ishani’s well-being, while Ambika questions her about the drastic actions she has taken. Abhijeet, protective of his sister, warns Ambika not to say anything hurtful. He acknowledges that they may have pressured Ishani into a corner, but he wants her to know that he understands her pain. Ishani, however, reveals her deep despair, stating that she genuinely wanted to end her life. Abhijeet, shocked, asks her why she didn’t consider the impact of her decision on him and their family. Ambika adds that they never anticipated such a reaction from her, explaining that their initial response was driven by shock.
Ishani, feeling misunderstood, retorts that everyone is blaming her for the actions of someone else. She expresses her frustration at being judged solely because she is a girl, revealing the societal pressures she feels. Abhijeet, in a moment of desperation, declares that he will apply for a transfer to escape the situation. Ishani counters that her life is already ruined and she does not want her siblings to suffer because of her mistakes. Ambika tries to comfort her, insisting that it was an accident and that time will heal their wounds. Ishani, however, believes that her family will always bear the burden of her actions. She admits that she lacks the courage to fight against the tide of negativity surrounding her. Abhijeet encourages her to consider studying at another college, hoping to provide her with a fresh start. Ishani, feeling defeated, asks him not to waste money on her education, while Abhijeet urges her not to lose hope.
Meanwhile, Lalon finds solace in music as he listens to Apu’s song, reminiscing about the past. Anjana and Bablu arrive, and Lalon greets them with a mix of sadness and nostalgia. Anjana mentions that it has been a month since Apu’s passing, and she can still sense her presence. Anuradha soon joins them, expressing her concern about Lalon, who has stopped going to work. She confides in Anjana and Bablu that she feels lost, unsure of how to help him move on. Bablu encourages them to live happily for Apu’s sake, reminding them that she would not want to see them in sorrow. Anuradha expresses her worry that Lalon’s grief might lead him to abandon her, just as Apu had left them. They all share a moment of collective mourning as they gaze at Apu’s photograph, tears in their eyes. Kajol arrives with Apu’s favorite flowers, placing them reverently before the photo as a tribute to her memory.
Back in Jhanak’s room, Aniruddh makes a heartfelt promise to never leave her side again. He reassures her that everything will be alright and that he will ensure Arshi is taken care of with alimony, emphasizing his commitment to their future. Jhanak, still feeling overwhelmed, admits that she is not in a position to discuss anything meaningful at the moment, but she agrees with his sentiments. Parashar informs them that Jhanak will be discharged from the hospital the following day. Aniruddh expresses his desire to take Jhanak with him, vowing to stay by her side and do whatever it takes to support her.
In the precap, the tension escalates as Aniruddh contemplates the obstacles that lie ahead in their relationship. He firmly believes that no one can separate him from Jhanak, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation as they navigate their tumultuous journey together.
