The episode opens with Abhira in a hurry, trying to catch an auto-rickshaw. As she hops out, she stumbles and falls to the ground, scraping her knee. The driver, noticing her injury, expresses concern and asks if she’s okay. Abhira, brushing off his worries with a smile, reassures him that the wound is old and will heal in time. She stands up, dusts herself off, and continues on her way, determined to reach her destination despite the pain.
Meanwhile, at Arman’s workplace, a surprise party is in full swing. His boss and colleagues have gathered to celebrate his engagement, and the atmosphere is filled with excitement and laughter. Arman, however, is taken aback by the sudden announcement. He had no idea that such arrangements were being made, and the shock is evident on his face as he processes the news.
As Abhira approaches her destination, she knocks on a door, but just then, her phone rings. It’s Kaveri on the other end, urgently asking her to come to the hospital. Abhira, realizing the importance of the call, leaves behind the sari she had brought with her and quickly walks away. Unbeknownst to her, this moment creates a hit-and-miss encounter with Arman, who is trying to chase after her. He glances in her direction but fails to catch a glimpse of her as she disappears around the corner.
At the same time, Geetanjali is having a conversation with Maira, questioning her about the intentions behind the sari gift. Maira, with a playful tone, tells Geetanjali to enjoy the gift rather than inquire about its cost. However, Geetanjali is curious about the elaborate arrangements being made and presses Maira for answers. It suddenly dawns on Maira that she forgot to pay Abhira for the sari, and she feels a pang of guilt for not handling the matter properly.
As Arman continues his pursuit of Abhira, he trips and falls, bewildered by how clumsy he has become in his quest. Memories of Abhira flood his mind, leaving him restless and distracted. Meanwhile, Abhira, along with Kaveri and Vidya, discusses their plans to return to Udaipur. Abhira expresses her regret over not being able to meet Maira and wonders aloud if she will ever get the chance to connect with her again.
Back at Arman’s home, the atmosphere shifts dramatically as he learns more about the engagement arrangements. Shocked by the unexpected announcement, he asks the guests to leave, feeling overwhelmed. One of the guests, confused and offended, questions why they were invited only to be insulted. Arman, feeling the pressure, clarifies that it was Maira, who is merely seven years old, that orchestrated the entire event.
In a tense confrontation, Arman seeks out Maira to discuss the situation. Geetanjali, witnessing the interaction, questions Dadu for supporting Maira in her misguided plans. Arman tries to explain Maira’s perspective, sharing that she feels lonely without a mother. He recounts how, during school meetings, he is the only parent present, and at birthday parties, he stands alone while other couples share joyful moments together. Maira, in her innocent way, believes that securing Arman’s happiness is paramount.
Dadu steps in, suggesting that Maira genuinely cares for Arman and proposes that he should consider marrying Geetanjali. Arman, feeling frustrated, confronts Maira once more. In a moment of vulnerability, she reminds him of Abhira, calling him rude for not understanding her intentions.
Maira’s expression changes, and she becomes sad, fearing that Arman might not marry Geetanjali after all. Just then, she receives a letter from Abhira, which Arman takes upon himself to read aloud to her. As he reads, Maira’s frustration boils over, and she becomes angry with him for intruding on her feelings. Arman, trying to soothe her, explains that while he understands her concerns, she cannot force Geetanjali into a relationship with him. He emphasizes that Maira’s well-meaning attempts to please him have unintentionally upset Geetanjali, and ultimately, her decision is what matters most. Maira is left in shock, grappling with the weight of Arman’s words.
**Precap:**
In a scene that hints at further complications, Vidya approaches Abhira, asking her about the money she was supposed to collect. Abhira explains that she couldn’t gather it from the girl because Kaveri interrupted her plans. Meanwhile, Kaveri expresses her anxiety about the upcoming electricity bill, adding to the tension. As the episode draws to a close, Arman decides to call the person who sent the mysterious message to Maira. When Abhira answers the call, the screen fades to black, leaving viewers eager to see how these intertwined lives will unfold.
