In today’s episode, Ruhi finds herself captivated by the sight of the baby, affectionately referred to as Pookie. This moment sparks a deep reflection within her about the importance of family and the desire to spend more time with the little one. With a determined expression, she informs Abhira of her decision to stay with the Goenka family for a while. Abhira, taken aback by this sudden announcement, looks at Ruhi with confusion and concern. She asks Ruhi if her choice stems from a fear of being overlooked now that the baby has arrived. In a reassuring tone, Abhira emphasizes that they will all work together to raise Pookie as a family unit, ensuring that no one feels neglected.
As the conversation unfolds, Ruhi is reminded of her mother, Akshara, and the sacrifices she made. She expresses regret over how Akshara took on the blame for various family issues, wishing things had been different. Just then, Abhir learns the truth about their family dynamics, and Ruhi, overwhelmed with emotion, tearfully apologizes to both Abhira and Abhir. She feels a deep sense of guilt for what she perceives as stealing their childhood and breaking the bonds that should have united them. In this poignant moment, she breaks down, but Abhira and Abhir, showing their unwavering support, comfort her and lift her spirits. Ruhi pleads with them not to forgive her just yet, but they collectively decide to move forward together, sharing an emotional reunion that strengthens their bond.
Abhir, wise beyond his years, suggests that Ruhi should keep the truth from Manish, believing that revealing it might only cause him unnecessary guilt. Ruhi, understanding the sentiment, agrees with Abhir’s advice and adds that Pookie is indeed a blessing for all of them.
Meanwhile, Kaveri expresses her concerns about the family’s newfound happiness, noting that it has been a long time since they felt this way. As Arman and Abhira return home with Pookie, Kaveri greets the baby with warmth and affection. Manisha, ever the enthusiastic family member, proposes capturing Pookie’s footprints on a white sheet as a keepsake. Arman, however, voices his worries about the possibility of skin issues arising from the ink. Manisha reassures him, stating that she has consulted with a doctor beforehand. Kaveri, wanting to contribute to Pookie’s comfort, gifts a beautiful cradle, while the entire Poddar family showers the baby with thoughtful presents. Observing all this, Arman begins to exhibit a possessive attitude towards Pookie, clearly wanting to protect the baby at all costs.
Later, Abhira expresses her gratitude to the Poddar family and decides to give Pookie a tour of their home, eager to show the baby all the love and care she can offer. However, Arman interrupts her plans, insisting on taking the baby away. Abhira is left shocked and confused by his sudden intervention. Arman argues that Pookie is still very much dependent on them, and they must exercise caution. Abhira, feeling capable and ready, asserts that she knows how to care for the baby, but Arman dismisses her assurances, further escalating the tension between them.
As the day progresses, Abhira wakes up and immediately looks for Pookie, only to discover that Arman has taken the baby outside for a sunbath. Just then, Ruhi calls Abhira, and Daksh surprises her with a heartfelt Happy Mother’s Day wish. Ruhi inquires about Pookie, and Abhira explains that Arman is currently with the baby. Ruhi then shares a nostalgic picture of Akshara and Arohi, expressing her desire to wish both mothers a Happy Mother’s Day. This moment stirs a sense of longing in Abhira for the time spent with Ruhi and Abhir, reminding her of their deep connections.
In a surprising turn, Arman wishes himself a Happy Mother’s Day on behalf of Pookie, which leaves Abhira momentarily stunned. She responds by declaring that Pookie is the most precious gift in the world. In a thoughtful gesture, Arman presents her with a stunning pair of heels, explaining that he noticed she had stopped wearing them since Pookie’s arrival. Abhira is taken aback by the luxurious shoes, adorned with real gems, and questions where she could possibly wear such extravagant footwear. Arman casually suggests that she can go anywhere she desires, but with a caveat: she should not take the baby along. This statement shocks Abhira, leaving her unsettled.
In the precap, the tension escalates as Abhira grows increasingly worried about Pookie’s well-being. Manisha attempts to reassure her, stating that Pookie’s fever will subside soon. However, Arman makes a drastic decision to give the baby to Ruhi, arguing that Abhira has no real connection to the child and is therefore careless in her approach. Kaveri tries to intervene and warn Arman against this decision, but he refuses to listen, leaving Abhira feeling utterly shattered by the unfolding events.
