The episode begins with a poignant moment as Arjun gently encourages Manu to remember Surendar with happiness. He believes that only through joyful memories will Surendar find peace. Nearby, Ranjeeta and Megha observe Arjun’s heartfelt conversation with Manu. Ranjeeta, reminiscing, shares with Megha how she and Surendar used to spend countless hours talking on their terrace, just like Arjun and Manu are doing now. This sparks a wave of nostalgia in Megha, who reflects on how Surendar had an unwavering faith in Arjun. She recalls how Surendar had convinced her to marry Arjun, assuring her that he would always be there to support her. Megha nods in agreement, acknowledging that Surendar was indeed right about Arjun.
In a spirited turn, Arjun announces that they will celebrate Surendar’s day by preparing his favorite dish. Megha excitedly chimes in, revealing that Surendar loved jackfruit. However, Manu quickly points out that they lack the necessary ingredients to cook it. With determination, Arjun assures them that he will arrange everything needed and promptly sets off to gather supplies. As he departs, Manu turns to Megha, suggesting that she should sing Surendar’s favorite song to honor his memory.
Moments later, Arjun returns triumphantly with jackfruit in hand and begins to sing “Aye Dil Laya Hai Bahaar,” filling the air with a sense of joy and nostalgia. He pulls out various ingredients and utensils he had hidden away, ready to help with the cooking. Megha takes charge in the kitchen, while Manu finds a comfortable spot, lying down on Ranjeeta’s lap. Lost in thought, Ranjeeta recalls the cherished moments she shared with Surendar. As Megha becomes overwhelmed with emotion, tears begin to flow, prompting Arjun to gently hold her hand in comfort. Meanwhile, Manu, sensing Ranjeeta’s sadness, wipes away her tears, trying to uplift her spirits.
Megha, tasting the dish, asks Manu how it is. With a bright smile, Manu responds that it’s delicious. Arjun proudly informs Manu that this is Surendar’s special recipe, one that Surendar had taught exclusively to Megha. Ranjeeta adds a touch of humor, reminiscing about how Megha and Surendar were quite the team and often caused her a bit of trouble, causing her to tear up again. Manu, wanting to lighten the mood, urges Ranjeeta not to cry, reminding her that it would only make Surendar sad. Megha, appreciating the moment they all share, expresses her hope that they can always stay together like this, united in their memories and love. Inspired, Manu dedicates a song to Arjun, filling the space with warmth and affection.
As time passes, Megha takes Arjun’s hand, expressing her feelings of unworthiness. She reflects on how Arjun, as an IAS officer, has endured so much over the past eight years because of her. She wonders aloud if his life would have been easier had he married someone else. In a heartfelt response, Arjun reassures her that he has not only survived but thrived in life because he has Megha by his side. He holds her hand tightly, affirming their bond. Megha reciprocates, stating that she too has found her victory in their relationship. Their connection deepens as they lean in for a kiss, lost in the moment.
Suddenly, they hear Manu’s voice, and they notice she is shivering from the cold. Concerned, Megha tells Arjun that the temperature is dropping. Arjun, ever the protector, assures her that he will find a blanket, promising not to go too far. He reminds her that he knows the jungle well and will return quickly. As he sets off, Megha feels an unexpected sense of restlessness wash over her.
Meanwhile, Arjun searches for the blanket but instead comes across an injured healer. The healer, in distress, reveals that Manoj is responsible for his injuries and pleads with Arjun to save his daughter, who has come from Nepal and is now in Manoj’s custody. Determined to help, Arjun vows to rescue the healer’s daughter. Just then, he hears a girl’s desperate screams for help. He spots Manoj’s men lurking behind a tree and swiftly takes action, confronting them to save the girl. To his surprise, he discovers that the girl is Alka. In the chaos, Alka pulls Arjun down, and just as the healer arrives to apologize for the trouble, Manoj appears, holding the healer’s daughter hostage. In a shocking twist, he raises his weapon and shoots at Arjun.
**Precap:** Meanwhile, Manu is seen searching frantically for her family, while Manoj ominously declares that he plans to send her away.
