The episode opens with Sachin returning home after another grueling day at work. He has been putting in extra hours, determined to save enough money to build a room of their own—a dream that feels just within reach but remains elusive. As he enters the house, the weariness of his long day is etched on his face. He calls out to Sayali, asking for a cup of tea to help him unwind.
Sayali, noticing the fatigue that hangs over him like a heavy cloak, immediately offers to massage his legs. “You’ve worked so hard, Sachin,” she says gently, her voice filled with concern. “Let me help relieve some of that pain.” As she begins to knead his tired muscles, Sachin lets out a sigh of relief, grateful for her support and understanding.
Meanwhile, across town, Tejas is brimming with excitement. He has just secured a substantial profit from a recent venture and can hardly contain his enthusiasm. He picks up his phone and eagerly calls Roshni to share the good news. “We got a big order!” he exclaims, his voice filled with joy. Roshni, initially surprised, quickly becomes optimistic about their business’s future. She praises Tejas for his smart thinking and encourages him to keep up the hard work, feeling a renewed sense of hope for their financial situation.
However, the mood shifts dramatically when a group of CID officers arrives at Tejas’s showroom, their presence casting a shadow over his celebrations. They begin questioning him about a recent sale, and Tejas, feeling cornered, admits that he had sold expensive electronic goods in exchange for cash. As the interrogation continues, he realizes with growing dread that the payments he received were made with black money, an illegal transaction intended to evade detection.
The officers inspect the cash and confirm Tejas’s worst fears: the notes are counterfeit. They take all the money, leaving Tejas in a state of shock and despair. The officers reprimand him for his involvement in accepting black money, and in a moment of desperation, he pleads with them to return his products, but his pleas fall on deaf ears.
Later, Tejas finds himself at the police station, hoping to retrieve the electronic items he had sold. The atmosphere is tense as he approaches a police officer, his heart racing with anxiety. However, the officer delivers a harsh blow—he reveals that the supposed vigilance officers who had questioned Tejas were actually con artists. Tejas’s face pales as he realizes the extent of his carelessness. The officer scolds him for being foolish, especially considering his education and potential. Tejas stands there, feeling defeated and helpless, with no choice but to wait for the return of his products, which seems increasingly unlikely.
Back at home, Renuka is feeling disheartened as she observes the dynamics of her family. She watches her sons—Tejas, Sachin, and Akash—devote themselves to their wives, showering them with care and attention. While she wants them to be loving husbands, Renuka feels a pang of worry. She fears that their loyalty to their spouses may overshadow their responsibilities to their parents. Feeling frustrated, she vents her concerns to her husband, Paresh.
Paresh, however, dismisses her worries as trivial. In an attempt to lighten the mood, he presents her with three wooden toys, symbolizing the idea of ignoring problems rather than constantly judging them. “If you can control your thoughts and words, peace will prevail at home,” he suggests, his tone laced with sarcasm. But his words only serve to infuriate Renuka further, deepening her sense of frustration.
As the episode progresses, Renuka learns about Tejas’s involvement in the scam. Overwhelmed with anger and disappointment, she confronts him. In a fit of rage, she slaps him repeatedly, berating him for his repeated mistakes. “Do you have any idea how much I sacrificed for your upbringing and education?” she scolds, her voice trembling with emotion. “And this is how you repay me?” Tejas stands there, shamefaced, as his mother’s words cut deep.
Despite her anger, Renuka is urged to keep the incident a secret to protect Tejas’s reputation, especially from Roshni, who might leave him if she finds out. Tejas, desperate to make amends, pleads with Renuka for 5 lakh rupees to repay the company. But her frustration boils over once more, and she lashes out at him for his foolishness, leaving him feeling more isolated than ever.
With no other options remaining, Renuka hatches a plan to hand over all the jewelry that belongs to Sayali. However, she is acutely aware of the consequences should any family member discover the truth about her actions. The weight of her decision hangs heavily on her shoulders, filling her with dread.
In the precap, Sayali makes a determined plan to seek all the jewelry from her mother-in-law, unaware that those very pieces have already been handed over to Tejas. The tension builds as the family dynamics become increasingly complicated, setting the stage for a clash of emotions and revelations in the episodes to come.
