The episode begins with a tense confrontation between Vikrant and Mannat. Vikrant, overwhelmed by emotions, firmly tells Mannat to leave, which leaves her heartbroken. She expresses her feelings, revealing that he cannot provide her with what she truly desires. In a moment of vulnerability, Vikrant feels dizzy and accidentally hits his head, losing his balance. Mannat instinctively catches him, demonstrating her concern despite the emotional turmoil between them.
In the background, a priest informs the Salooja family that it is an auspicious time for marriage. He emphasizes that any couple who marries during this period will remain together forever, suggesting that no one will be able to separate them. As Mannat pulls Vikrant closer, blood begins to trickle from his wound, staining her hairline. Vikrant, in a moment of instinctive resistance, does not allow her to touch his injury. Just then, Mallika rushes in, sensing the tension, and insists that Mannat leave. With a heavy heart, Mannat walks away, feeling defeated and sorrowful.
Mallika, pretending to care for Vikrant, takes the opportunity to manipulate the situation further. Vikrant, still reeling from the emotional upheaval, calls the management to cancel the wedding decorations and catering. This decision alarms Mallika, who fears that he may also cancel their wedding altogether. She urges him to calm down and attend to his wound instead of making rash decisions.
Later, Mannat confides in Aishwarya, telling her that everything is now settled. Aishwarya congratulates Mannat for breaking Vikrant’s heart, but also reminds her that she has not broken her promise. She points out that Mannat has not moved from her position for her sake. Mannat asserts that Aishwarya has fulfilled her part of the agreement and now it is time to sign the necessary documents. However, she warns Aishwarya not to play any tricks. In a clever maneuver, Mannat manages to get Aishwarya’s signature on some papers without her knowledge, diverting her attention so that she does not realize the true nature of the agreement.
Mannat discreetly signals to Gagan, who is left puzzled by how she managed to convince Aishwarya to sign the document. He wonders why Aishwarya seems intimidated by Mannat. Aishwarya, in a moment of reflection, tells Mannat that she agreed to the arrangement to save her mother. Mannat, however, counters that it is not merely a deal but a sacrifice. She explains that she is sacrificing her own happiness and love for the sake of her mother, who means everything to her.
Mannat confronts Aishwarya about her perspective, arguing that she is treating the situation as a deal rather than recognizing the emotional turmoil it brings. She criticizes Aishwarya for forcing her daughter into a loveless marriage with someone who does not truly love her, claiming that Aishwarya’s greed for money has ruined her daughter’s life. Aishwarya responds defensively, questioning who Mannat thinks she is to make such decisions regarding her life. Mannat retorts that Aishwarya has no right to dictate her life either, recalling how she left her to fend for herself. She explains that her life changed thanks to Shruthi, her mother, and that she would do anything to protect her.
As Mannat prepares to take Aishwarya into the operating theater, she feels a deep sense of guilt for breaking Vikrant’s heart. She reflects on the pain she has caused someone who has always been there for her, praying to God for forgiveness. Meanwhile, Mallika brings Vikrant back to his room, subtly instigating him against Mannat. Vikrant, consumed by guilt over the situation, begins to regret the pretense of their marriage and declares his intention to announce that the wedding was fake. However, Mallika intervenes, stopping him from making that decision.
In a moment of confusion, Vikrant mistakes Mallika for Mannat and hugs her tightly after hearing a loud thunderclap, which causes Mannat to panic. The episode ends on this note of tension, leaving viewers anxious about the unfolding drama and the fates of the characters involved.
