Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai : Armaan Protects Abhira !

The Episode starts with Vidya going Rohit and Ruhi’s aarti and tilak. She keeps the kalash down. Ruhi sees Armaan’s pic. Rohit says welcome, Mrs. Ruhi Rohit Poddar. Ruhi stumbles. Dadi asks are you fine. Ruhi says I slipped. Manisha says look what happened, the kalash fell upside down. Rohit says it’s a little mistake. Dadi says no, Poddar bahus can’t make mistakes. Vidya says designer has made a mistake to make heavy bridal lehenga. Dadi says whatever the reason, it’s a bad omen, the rice didn’t fall off the kalash and gathbandhan broke. Manisha says we will keep a puja and cancel the abshagun. Dadi gets angry. Vidya asks her to calm down. Ruhi sees Armaan’s pic. Abhira does Akshu’s last rites. Armaan and Kipling look on. Abhira and Armaan think of Akshu.

Akshu appears. Armaan says I knew you will come, give me a hug. Akshu says our togetherness was till here, I was lucky to get you as my daughter, you have given me much happiness, bid me a farewell, cry, then you can smile tomorrow. Abhira shouts mumma and cries. Akshu says I will always love you. Abhira says please don’t go. Armaan looks on. Pandit asks her to light the pyre. Armaan goes to hold Abhira. She lights the pyre. She gets dizzy. He holds her. She shouts stay away and pushes him. Kajal says our bahus wake up early. Manish says then permit her to sleep early. Vidya says every bahu gets ancestral jewellery. Manish says I got a nosepin and Vidya got a necklace. Vidya says you can take it anytime. She says Ruhi will get these bangles, I have two sons, Armaan is always responsible, and Rohit is always… Kajal says naughty. Vidya says guy and kite reach heights when they are tied to a string. Manisha asks why can’t girl touch skies, sorry mummy. Vidya says a wife makes a man responsible.

She makes Ruhi wear the bangles. Kajal asks how does she look. Dadi smiles and blesses Ruhi. She says you will become Ruhi’s inspiration, Armaan’s wife will come tomorrow, she will make him progress, she will be a simple and obedient girl. Ruhi gets tense. Dadi says you got scared. Ruhi says no. Vidya asks what’s there to be afraid of, bahus don’t compete. Dadi says bahus compete in the same house, right Manisha, two bahus get compared, they can’t be equal. She asks Ruhi to become the leading bahu. Kajal says we should go now. Manisha says all the best and goes. Armaan says Abhira, I can understand what you are going through.

She asks how, your both parents are alive, you are elder to me, I will give you a life lesson, its irritating to give this fake sympathy, I didn’t have my dad and family, my mum left me, you can’t feel my pain. He says you aren’t alone, I m with you, I promised Akshu, I will keep my responsibility. She says you are responsible for my mum’s death, I lost her because of you. She asks him to leave her alone. She says I don’t believe this marriage. He says me too, but I have promised Akshu, you aren’t safe, you become independent and fulfill your mum’s dreams, then leave me, but she was right, you need protection. She says I m not any helpless girl to need you, I m not scared of Yuvraj, you go your own way.

She sees Yuvraj and his goons coming. Yuvraj shouts Abhira…. Abhira holds the ashes pot. Armaan takes Abhira and runs. The pot falls. Abhira says let me go, kalash…. Armaan says Akshu gave her life, I will protect you, I will get that kalash. He hides and takes the kalash. Yuvraj doesn’t find her. He says Abhira, I will see you soon, baby. He leaves. Armaan says Yuvraj is madly looking for you, Akshu’s last wish was that you live with respect, please come with me, think about it. Abhira says okay, but I have some conditions, our relation will just remain on papers, I will never become your wife in real, I will do job after final exams, then our paths will get apart, deal? Armaan says fine. They shake hands. He says it’s a deal, I will never try to become your husband.

Precap:
Dadi says Rohit is getting a surprise for everyone. Rohit and Ruhi come home. Armaan gets Abhira home. He says she is the bahu of this house. Everyone is shocked.
