The episode opens with a tense atmosphere as Avinash spots Divya approaching him. Confusion and frustration swirl within him as he questions her presence, asking why she chose to come now after ignoring his pleas for her to stay away earlier that morning. He expresses feelings of worthlessness, suggesting that he understands why Divya did not heed his warnings. Suddenly, a realization strikes him—he thinks he might be hallucinating Divya. He turns away, only to be startled when he sees her standing there again. Overwhelmed with emotion, Avinash confesses how much he misses her and declares his love, stating that he would rather die than marry Karishma.
As the emotional moment unfolds, Vasudha arrives, and Avinash, still grappling with his apparent hallucinations, assumes that he is imagining her presence as well. He drunkenly remarks that his state is causing him to see everyone around him. However, Vasudha quickly dispels his misunderstanding, grounding him in reality.
Divya, sensing the weight of the moment, gently reminds Avinash that he has yet to propose to her properly. Taking her hand in his, Avinash reflects on the first time he laid eyes on her in the market, confessing that he fell for her instantly. His feelings have only deepened since then, and he asserts that he is willing to sacrifice anything for their love. He proclaims that he belongs to Divya alone and wraps her in a heartfelt embrace. Divya, touched by his words, reciprocates his feelings, confessing her love for him as well. However, she urges him not to drink again. Avinash defends himself, explaining that Kunal encouraged him to drink, but he promises that he would give up everything if it meant Divya could stay by his side.
In a moment of tension, Devansh interjects, questioning whether Avinash would truly leave his family for Divya. He turns to Vasudha, expressing confusion over why she would go against Chandrika’s wishes. Vasudha, concerned for her son, encourages Avinash to be honest with Devansh, believing that he will understand. Summoning his courage, Avinash admits that he loves Divya and wishes to marry her, asking for Devansh’s support. Divya, feeling guilty, apologizes to Devansh for the situation. However, Devansh firmly states that Avinash is not mature enough to make such a significant decision and urges him to reconsider. With heavy hearts, Avinash and Divya leave the room together.
Vasudha, still hopeful, implores Devansh to understand the depth of Avinash’s love for Divya. In response, Devansh leads Vasudha outside, pointing out Avinash and Divya as they walk away. He expresses his belief that Divya does not deserve to be a part of the Chauhan family, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
Divya turns to Avinash, her expression somber. She tells him that their story must come to an end, and from this point forward, their paths will diverge. Avinash, desperate, pleads with her not to say it that way, insisting that he cannot live without her. Divya counters, acknowledging her love for him but asserting that love should not come at the cost of breaking families apart. She urges Avinash to marry Karishma if that is what Chandrika believes is best for him. Divya challenges Avinash to prove himself, expressing her desire to see him succeed in the business world, where she believes he has the talent to thrive. Devansh, overhearing this exchange, looks on in surprise, taken aback by Divya’s strength and conviction.
As emotions run high, Avinash breaks down in tears. Divya comforts him with a warm hug, urging him to take care of himself before she walks away, leaving him heartbroken. Vasudha observes the scene and turns to Devansh, affirming that Divya is a genuinely good person. She acknowledges that Divya is heartbroken but admires her for not allowing this situation to tear their family apart. Avinash, feeling bitter, taunts Devansh, suggesting that he has won this round. He sarcastically remarks that his brother trusts Karishma more than him, before retreating inside the house, his frustration palpable.
The following day brings a new wave of tension as Karishma approaches Chandrika, assuring her that she will bring Avinash back on track. She asks Avinash to promise that he will never drink again, her tone almost patronizing. Avinash, clearly irritated, tells Karishma to stop pretending and acting as if she cares. Chandrika, sensing the growing conflict, urges Avinash to cease his accusations. Avinash, feeling cornered, questions why Chandrika cannot see Karishma’s true nature. Prabhat and Devansh step in, attempting to diffuse the situation by urging Avinash to calm down.
Chandrika, hurt by Avinash’s words, accuses him of not caring about her emotions. In a moment of defiance, Avinash tells Chandrika that he is ready to become Karishma’s “dog,” expressing his disdain for the situation. He warns his family that they will regret trusting Karishma, his voice filled with anger and frustration.
As the episode draws to a close, the tension between the characters remains thick, leaving viewers anxious to see how the conflicts will unfold and what choices Avinash will ultimately make regarding his love for Divya and the expectations of his family.
