The episode begins with Dua experiencing a moment of realization that the beggar she encountered may have stolen her purse. Distressed, she starts searching for the beggar, hoping to retrieve her belongings. At the ticket counter, Dua reveals her predicament, explaining her urgent need for a ticket to Mumbai. She insists on traveling there at any cost, but the attendant flatly refuses to assist her, leaving her feeling desperate and helpless. In a moment of vulnerability, Dua turns to prayer, asking God for guidance and support in her time of need.
Meanwhile, Kumar delivers unfortunate news to Vikrant: their flight has been canceled due to poor weather conditions. He informs Vikrant that all flights for the day have been grounded, making it impossible to book another flight. Despite this setback, Vikrant remains stubborn, insisting that he must reach Mumbai by the afternoon. Kumar, trying to offer a solution, suggests that they consider traveling by bus instead. Reluctantly, Vikrant agrees to the idea, but this decision does not sit well with Yashika and Aishwarya, who express their displeasure and concern.
As this unfolds, Dua is deep in thought, contemplating how she can reach Mumbai before Mannat discovers her absence. Just then, she overhears that a bus is set to depart in just a few minutes. Seizing the opportunity, she quickly hides on top of the bus, determined to make her way to the city.
Meanwhile, Mannat is busy serving breakfast to Roni when she decides to wake Dua. To her shock, she discovers that Dua is missing. Panic sets in as she frantically searches for her daughter, only to find a letter left behind by Dua. As she reads the note, she is stunned to learn that Dua has gone to Mezbani to participate in a cooking competition. The revelation overwhelms Mannat, causing her to faint in disbelief. Dhairya, witnessing the scene, informs Roni about the letter and Mannat’s distress. Mannat’s mind races with worry for Dua’s safety, particularly fearing that Vikrant might humiliate her daughter upon discovering her true identity. She recalls how he had rejected her when he learned of her pregnancy, intensifying her anxiety. Mannat expresses her fear that she could not bear to live without Dua. In a bid to reassure her, Dhairya promises that he will not let her leave the city and reveals that he has tracked Dua to a bus stand. He encourages Mannat to hurry, and she rushes out, desperate to find her daughter. Roni, left behind, reflects on the cruel twists of fate that seem to be bringing Dua closer to Vikrant, and he silently prays for her safety.
Later, Vikrant arrives at the bus stand, where Yashika and Aishwarya react with disdain at the sight of the crowd. Yashika adamantly refuses to travel by bus, but Vikrant insists that he will do whatever it takes to get to Mumbai. He tells her that she can stay behind and take a flight if she prefers. Aishwarya, supporting Vikrant’s decision, notes that she has no urgent business in Mumbai, which prompts Yashika to reluctantly agree to accompany him by bus. Unbeknownst to them, Dua is nearby, eavesdropping on their conversation. She finds it amusing when Vikrant attempts to book the entire bus for just four passengers. However, when he hears her giggle, he looks around, and Dua quickly hides to avoid being seen.
Just then, Yashika receives a phone call from her brother, who informs her that debt collectors are threatening him, demanding repayment or else they will resort to violence. Yashika reassures her brother that she will arrange the money within two days, her tone shifting from concern to determination.
Meanwhile, Mannat arrives at the bus stop, calling out for Dua. Vikrant hears her voice and begins searching for her. At the ticket counter, Mannat learns that Dua had inquired about a ticket but was turned away due to insufficient funds. Angered, Mannat confronts the attendant about his negligence. In turn, the attendant accuses Mannat of being careless, leading to a heated exchange. Just then, Mallika calls Vikrant to inform him that Yuvraj will be attending a friend’s birthday party with the driver. Vikrant scolds her for her lack of attention and insists that she accompany Yuvraj to the party.
As the scene shifts back to the bus, Vikrant is surprised to see someone occupying his seat. Yashika explains that such things are common in public transport, while Aishwarya questions whether Yashika has ever traveled by bus before. Yashika admits she hasn’t, realizing that she must be cautious around Aishwarya. In a playful manner, Yashika teases Aishwarya, trying to gauge whether she is genuinely as good as she appears. Despite the playful banter, Aishwarya manages to maintain her composed demeanor, hoping to impress Vikrant.
Meanwhile, Dhairya informs Mannat that Dua has indeed boarded the bus. His team has already searched the bus thoroughly, but Mannat remains anxious about her daughter’s safety. The episode concludes with an air of tension and uncertainty, leaving viewers on edge about what will happen next.
