In tonight’s episode, Armaan insists that Maira is his daughter, and before he can mention Abhira, Kaveri reminds him that Abhira is no longer his responsibility. She asks him to consider Abhira’s current condition and emphasises that he has neither the right nor the duty to interfere in her life.
Armaan and Kaveri’s Confrontation
Armaan tries to argue, acknowledging that he has no claim over Abhira, but stresses that doesn’t mean he can treat her like a stranger. He points out that her health has deteriorated so much that he feels compelled to be with her. Kaveri quickly counters, saying this is his misconception.
She stresses that staying close to Abhira is unnecessary, and in fact, avoiding her is crucial for her well-being. She warns that his presence could worsen her condition.
Armaan insists he cannot leave Abhira in her current state. Kaveri challenges him, questioning whether he can ignore his duties toward his own wife, leaving him momentarily speechless.
She advises him that if he wants to fulfil responsibility, it must be toward Geetanjali—the woman he is married to, the one he joined in a relationship due to circumstances and choices, however complicated.
Despite Armaan’s continued insistence on being there for Abhira, Kaveri explains that staying close would be unfair to both Geetanjali and Abhira.
She points out that if Abhira gets used to his presence, Geetanjali’s heart would break, and Abhira herself would become dependent on him again, leaving both women hurt. She urges Armaan to go back to his wife to avoid causing further emotional damage.
Kaveri also notes that before Armaan arrived, Abhira had begun showing signs of recovery—her courage and smile were slowly returning. Seeing Armaan with Geetanjali, however, shattered her emotionally, and staying nearby now would only worsen her fragile state.
With folded hands, Kaveri pleads with Armaan to honour his role as a husband, take care of Geetanjali, and give Abhira the space to heal. She leaves, leaving Armaan deep in thought and struggling with his conflicting emotions.
Abhira’s Emotional Struggle
Meanwhile, Abhira is consumed by thoughts of Armaan and Geetanjali together. Despite knowing they are married, she regrets her earlier reaction and feels a wave of sadness. Realising that Armaan can no longer be part of her life, she struggles emotionally and sheds tears.
Abhira
As Abhira grapples with her emotions, memories of her past with Armaan flood her mind. On the other hand, Geetanjali finds it difficult to witness Armaan’s lingering attachment to Abhira.
Meanwhile, Armaan himself is drawn into memories of their shared past after receiving a message from Vidya. Vidya advises Armaan to honour his responsibilities as a husband, reminding him not to cause Geetanjali pain or be unfair.
Abhira’s Decision
Abhira wonders why she still feels so unsettled and decides to try a new way to cope with her turmoil. She reaches for the medicine the doctor had prescribed for moments when everything felt broken and hopeless.
As she reflects, she whispers to herself about her loneliness and helplessness, admitting that today she might truly need it. But just as she is about to take the medicine, she notices the doors opening, and something inside her shifts.
Armaan and Geetanjali’s Dilemma
Meanwhile, Armaan approaches Geetanjali and tells her that they should leave the place. Surprised, Geetanjali asks why he doesn’t want to stay, especially so close to Maira. Armaan explains that staying would be unfair to her.
Geetanjali feels a wave of happiness hearing this, but Armaan adds that it’s not just for her—he also has to consider Abhira, leaving her momentarily shocked. Armaan walks away, and Geetanjali follows him, thinking that this is the first time he has prioritised her feelings alongside Abhira’s, and for now, that is enough.
Elsewhere, Abhira is quietly seen sipping water, lost in her thoughts.
Kiara and Abhir’s Conflict
Kiara and Abhira
Elsewhere, Kiara’s friend Sakshi chooses to stay at the Goenka residence. She is introduced to Abhir by Kiara. Curious about Kiara’s employment, Abhir asks about her job search.
Kiara claims she’s attending interviews, but Abhir notices she hasn’t been going out and doubts her. Later, Sakshi reveals to Abhir that Kiara earns a staggering 8,000 per night, leaving him bewildered.
Abhira Welcomes Armaan and Geetanjali
Back at the resort, as Armaan and Geetanjali prepare to leave, Maira asks Kaveri when the tension between Armaan and Abhira will finally end. Kaveri replies that it will take some time. Just then, a car arrives, and to everyone’s surprise, Abhira steps out, leaving Armaan and the others shocked.
With a warm smile, Abhira welcomes Armaan and Geetanjali to her resort and apologises for not hosting them properly the previous day. She asks for one chance to make their trip memorable, promising not to repeat any mistakes.
She explains that she has arranged special touches for their stay—decorating the resort, setting up pandals around Mussoorie, and planning an aarti in the evening for Navratri. She even mentions that she has arranged snacks, water, coffee, and partitions for privacy, inviting them to enjoy everything without worry.
Flashback
A flashback reveals that Abhira had decided not to take the medicine. She encourages herself to stop crying, bid farewell to the past, and remember the sacrifices made by Kaveri and Maira. Inspired by Akshara’s fresh start with the resort, Abhira resolves to live her life fully and not become an obstacle in Armaan’s married life.
Armaan’s Final Decision and Geetanjali’s Anger
Returning to the present, Abhira opens the car door for Armaan and Geetanjali. Armaan thanks her and shares that they had decided to leave the resort.
Abhira, however, insists that she understands their position as guests but urges them not to let her presence ruin their honeymoon. She insists they stay and enjoy, determined not to give them any reason to complain.
Armaan, Geetanjali and Abhira
Armaan admits that leaving is already difficult, but at least she shouldn’t try to stop them because eventually, he will have to go. Respecting their decision, Abhira takes charge, loading their luggage into the car.
When she asks where they are headed, Armaan looks at Geetanjali for the answer, only to see her storming back into the resort. Armaan quickly follows her.
Meanwhile, Abhir confronts Kiara after uncovering her continued drug use and dishonesty. Kiara feels guilty for breaking Abhir’s trust.
Armaan Agrees to Stay
Armaan and Maira
Elsewhere, Geetanjali persuades Armaan to remain, assuring him that Abhira is concentrating on her work and that she, too, is ready to move forward.
Armaan, still caught in his memories, reflects that since Geetanjali and Abhira have become best friends, he’s the only one feeling troubled and alone. He considers leaving to ease his own confusion. At that moment, Maira runs up and embraces him, gently stopping him from leaving.
Kaveri steps in, trying to intervene, but Abhira firmly states that no one has the right to keep Armaan and Maira apart. Respecting Maira’s request, Armaan decides to stay.
Precap
In the precap, Abhira accidentally participates in a puja alongside Maira and Armaan, leaving Geetanjali shocked.
Later, she decides to decorate Armaan and Geetanjali’s room, and Geetanjali also asks Abhira to create a card with a personal message for Armaan, leaving Abhira stunned.
