The episode begins with Raunak in a tense moment as he discreetly hands money to a taxi driver. He leans in, whispering urgently for the driver to keep this transaction a secret. The driver nods in agreement, understanding the importance of confidentiality in this situation.
Meanwhile, Prarthna stands in a temple, her heart heavy as she addresses a statue of Lord Krishna. With desperation in her voice, she questions why God is allowing such suffering. She reminds Him of Kishan’s unwavering faith and devotion, pleading for His intervention to save her father. In a moment of determination, Prarthna vows to keep ringing the temple bell until she feels that her prayers are answered. The sound of the bell echoes through the temple as she begins to ring it fervently.
Raunak approaches Prarthna, concern etched on his face. He gently urges her to stop, warning that she might injure her hand from the relentless ringing. As Prarthna continues, she notices a nearby diya (oil lamp) has been extinguished, causing her anxiety to spike. She worries about Kishan’s well-being and, overwhelmed, tears begin to flow down her cheeks. Raunak tries to comfort her, telling her not to overthink the situation and explaining that the wind likely blew out the diya. He reaches out to examine her hand, but Prarthna, feeling suffocated by his presence, pushes him away.
In another part of the house, Ketki confronts Payal about her recent behavior. Payal, confused, asks what Ketki means. Ketki expresses her disapproval of how Payal treated Raunak, suggesting that he deserves better. Payal retorts that Raunak’s behavior towards her has been consistently disrespectful. Ketki, with a sense of urgency, explains that despite Payal’s feelings, she must marry Raunak to avoid financial ruin for their family. Payal, feeling lost, expresses her uncertainty about what to do next. Ketki reassures her that there is still a solution and encourages her not to worry. Payal reluctantly agrees to consider Ketki’s advice.
Back at the temple, Raunak attempts to console Prarthna. She, however, firmly tells him to keep his distance. Raunak is taken aback and reminds her that they are friends, imploring her to reconsider her harsh words. Prarthna, filled with emotion, explains that Kishan has sacrificed so much for her friendship with Raunak. She reveals that while she could endure scolding, she cannot tolerate the humiliation Kishan has faced because of their relationship. With tears in her eyes, she declares that she no longer wants to see or speak to Raunak and walks away, leaving him stunned.
Meanwhile, Smita is lost in thought, reflecting on Kishan’s recent words. Kranti, sensing her distress, urges her to let go of the past and find calm. Smita, however, insists that she will only feel at peace when Kishan apologizes. Raunak, overhearing their conversation, steps forward and offers to apologize on Kishan’s behalf, asking Smita to drop the matter. Smita, still hurt, tells Kranti to make Raunak leave her alone, expressing her anger. As she storms off, Raunak attempts to reach out to her, but she ignores him completely. Kranti advises Raunak that siding with Prarthna was a mistake and suggests he give Smita some space. Raunak nods, understanding the need for patience.
Later, Raunak enters Baa’s room, finding her sitting in the dark. He asks her what troubles her, and Baa expresses her sadness over the events that have unfolded with Prarthna. She reflects that things should not have come to this point and inquires about Prarthna’s family. Raunak informs her that he has admitted Kishan to the hospital. He shares his concerns about Smita’s anger towards him and how Prarthna has severed ties with him. Baa reassures him that Smita’s anger won’t last long, as her love for him is strong.
In a different part of the house, Gayatri chastises Seema for her harsh words towards Prarthna. Seema retorts that Prarthna is partly to blame for Kishan’s current predicament, highlighting the consequences of her actions. Just then, the doctor emerges from the ICU, wheeling Kishan into a room, signaling a moment of hope.
Seema, still upset, instructs Prarthna to keep her distance from them. Prarthna stands outside the room, her heart heavy with worry and regret.
Raunak, grappling with his emotions, recalls the recent events. In a fit of frustration, he punches a nearby punching bag, trying to release his pent-up anger. Harsh intervenes, cautioning Raunak that he risks injuring himself further. Concerned, Harsh asks what’s bothering him. Raunak confides in Harsh about Prarthna ending their friendship and Smita’s disappointment in him. Harsh reassures him that things will improve and encourages him not to dwell on the negatives.
Inside the hospital room, Kishan slowly regains consciousness, calling out for Prarthna. Hearing her name, Prarthna rushes to Kishan’s side, her heart filled with love and concern.
The episode concludes on this emotional note, leaving viewers eager to see how the relationships will evolve and whether Kishan’s recovery will bring resolution to the ongoing turmoil.
