The episode opens with a tense atmosphere as Bhavya passionately addresses Rishank’s family, emphasizing the importance of not dismissing Rishank’s dreams. She believes that pursuing one’s aspirations is crucial, but Nitin, Rishank’s father, interjects, arguing that they cannot justify all of Rishank’s actions simply because they are tied to his ambitions. The disagreement escalates when Bua Ma, Rishank’s aunt, advises Bhavya to stop bothering Nitin. She bluntly reminds Bhavya that Rishank married her under a contract, not out of love, a statement that strikes a painful chord with Bhavya.
Refusing to accept this harsh reality, Bhavya insists that Rishank genuinely loves her. Bua Ma, however, is unconvinced and asserts that Rishank is capable of using anyone for his own gain. Bhavya, determined to defend Rishank, recounts the numerous times she has tested his loyalty, each time finding him to be sincere and devoted. Bua Ma counters this by recalling the day of their wedding, when Rishank fled from the mandap, only to return after Nitin suffered a heart attack.
In a desperate plea for the truth, Bhavya turns to Nitin, urging him to be honest with her. Bua Ma also demands that Nitin present the deal papers that supposedly outline Rishank’s intentions. Reluctantly, Nitin reveals to Bhavya that there was indeed a deal: Rishank had agreed to marry her in exchange for Nitin’s investment in his gym. On the day of the wedding, Rishank had secured an investor and fled, leaving Bhavya heartbroken as she reads the deal papers that Nitin hands her. Bua Ma coldly informs Bhavya that Rishank never loved her; their relationship was merely a business transaction.
As the tension mounts, Bua Ma confronts Nitin, demanding that he choose between supporting Bhavya or siding with her. This ultimatum forces Bhavya to reflect on the moments leading up to her marriage, including the painful memory of Rishank rejecting her and the lingering doubts she had about his true motivations.
Determined to confront Rishank, Bhavya arrives at a location where he has prepared a celebration for their friendship. Upon seeing her, Rishank immediately notices her tear-streaked face and asks why she has been crying. Bhavya feigns a light-hearted excuse, claiming it’s just the spices from cooking. She tries to shift the mood by suggesting they celebrate and play a game where she will ask him questions, and he must respond with lies. However, as the game progresses, tears begin to roll down Bhavya’s cheeks.
When pressed about their relationship, Bhavya’s emotions spill over, and she accuses Rishank of playing a game with her all along. She bluntly asks him whether their relationship was based on a deal, to which Rishank reluctantly admits the truth. He tries to explain that circumstances were different back then, but Bhavya cuts him off, demanding to know if he feels any shame for his actions. She accuses him of prioritizing his dreams above all else, recalling how he had almost fled their wedding to save his father’s life.
In a moment of vulnerability, Rishank pleads for a chance to explain himself, but Bhavya, overwhelmed by anger, begins to throw objects around the room, expressing her frustration and heartbreak. As she breaks down in tears, she screams that he has lied to her. Rishank attempts to comfort her, insisting that the deal papers no longer hold any significance for him. He asserts that when he extended his hand of friendship, it was done with genuine loyalty.
However, Bhavya, still engulfed in her pain, retorts that he is right in his assertion that women like her can only be friends or sidekicks to men like him. She bitterly concludes that only a contract could compel someone like Rishank to marry someone like her, solidifying her feelings of inadequacy and betrayal. The episode closes on this poignant note, leaving viewers with a sense of unresolved tension and emotional turmoil.
