In today’s episode, the tension begins to unfold as Ruhi approaches the toy shopkeeper, urgently requesting that he send the CCTV footage directly to Daksh and Arman. Unbeknownst to her, Abhira is nearby and overhears this conversation, raising her suspicions. Sensing the need to cover her tracks, Ruhi quickly makes an excuse, trying to divert Abhira’s attention.
Abhira, ever the caring figure, offers Ruhi some soup, but Ruhi dismissively asks her to keep it away, indicating her reluctance to eat. Not one to give up easily, Abhira inquires about what Ruhi would actually like to eat, promising to prepare it for her. Ruhi, with a hint of defiance, retorts that Abhira won’t let her eat what she truly desires. Abhira reassures her that she will respect her wishes. After a moment of contemplation, Ruhi expresses her craving for pani puri, a popular snack. Abhira, delighted at the request, decides to take on the challenge of preparing pani puri for her.
However, Ruhi then drops a surprising request: she wants to go out with Arman. Abhira is taken aback and confused by this sudden change in plans. Ruhi clarifies that her intention in going out with Arman is to give Abhira the opportunity to talk to Rohit without Sanjay’s interference. Understanding the importance of this conversation, Abhira agrees and decides to speak to Krish later, taking Ruhi out for their much-anticipated pani puri.
Meanwhile, a subplot unfolds as Abhir attempts to engage with Kiara, but she coldly tells him to stay away. This moment highlights the growing distance between them. Elsewhere, Ruhi is astonished to discover that Abhira has already prepared the pani puri, seemingly ahead of schedule. To her surprise, Ruhi refuses to eat it, leaving Abhira momentarily stunned. Aryan, who has been observing the situation, questions Abhira about why she didn’t inform him earlier about the pani puri, as he had already placed an order for a paneer roll. This prompts Ruhi to shift her preference and decide to eat the paneer roll instead, much to Abhira’s chagrin.
Frustration builds as Abhira tries to intervene, but Ruhi’s anger flares up, and she lashes out at Abhira. Concerned, Abhira asks if Ruhi is upset with her, to which Ruhi responds rudely. Abhira, trying to connect with her, gently probes whether Ruhi misses Rohit. Ruhi’s response reveals her inner turmoil: while Abhira cares for her, she cannot fill the void left by Rohit’s absence. In a moment of empathy, Abhira encourages Ruhi to consider that she deserves a fresh start and suggests that she might want to find a new life partner. This leads Ruhi to ask about Arman, to which Abhira replies that Arman is running late. Ruhi then learns that Arman is upset with Abhira for having concealed the fact that Daksh had previously referred to him as “father,” adding another layer of complexity to their relationships.
In another part of the narrative, Abhir confronts Kiara, questioning her decision not to tell the truth to the family. Kiara responds with skepticism, asking what good revealing the truth would do. Abhir, feeling increasingly frustrated with the secrecy surrounding his relationship, declares that he is tired of meeting Charu in secret and decides to end his marriage with Kiara. Kiara is visibly shocked by this sudden declaration, leaving her at a loss for words.
As Ruhi waits eagerly for Arman’s arrival, her excitement quickly turns to shock when she sees him walking in with Abhira. Abhira, sensing the tension, immediately apologizes to Arman. Despite her attempts to smooth things over, Arman tells her to get up, indicating that he is not angry. Abhira then asks for his forgiveness for hiding the truth, but Ruhi internally grapples with the idea that Arman and Abhira’s frequent arguments suggest they may not be compatible after all.
In a strategic move, Abhira decides to send Daksh to Manish’s place, perhaps to create some distance or to handle matters more discreetly. Meanwhile, Ruhi, determined to impress Arman, chooses to wear heels that complement her dress. However, later on, Arman scolds Ruhi for being careless, emphasizing that Abhira is making sacrifices for her, and she should take better care of herself. This reprimand only fuels Ruhi’s anger towards Abhira, complicating their relationship further.
In a parallel storyline, Manoj confronts Sanjay regarding the decision to assign the case to Krish. Sanjay confirms that Krish will be handling it, but Manoj accuses him of having ulterior motives, suggesting that Sanjay plans to teach Krish how to win the case by any means necessary, hinting at the ethical dilemmas that may arise.
**Precap:** In a dramatic twist, Arman makes Abhira promise to keep Abhir and Charu’s affair a secret, raising the stakes for everyone involved. Meanwhile, Krish confronts Abhir, accusing him of having an affair with Charu, leading to a tense standoff. Arman, feeling betrayed, confronts Abhira for revealing the truth to the family, setting the stage for more conflict in the episodes to come.
