Today’s episode begins with Neetu telling Mannat that she knows who is stopping the reunion of Vikrant and Mannat. Mannat firmly replies that no one is stopping them if m there is anything between them it is Vikrant’s mistakes which she is unable to forget.
Neetu admits that Vikrant made a big mistake but she insists that mistakes can be forgiven. She urges Mannat to forgive him once saying everything can change. However Mannat refuses. She clearly states that she doesn’t want anything to change and is fine with things as they are.
When Neetu questions her anger and hatred Mannat responds that there is no anger or hatred left in her heart anymore there is simply no place for such emotions now.
Mannat Recalls Her Pain and Broken Trust
Mannat explains that Dua is Vikrant’s daughter but it was Vikrant himself who broke the relationship and removed them from his life. She reveals that she had once tried to clear the misunderstanding by putting her self-respect aside forgetting everything but what did she get in return? He questioned her character.He insulted her love.
She asks what guarantee there is that Vikrant will trust her now if he couldn’t trust her back then. What guarantee is there that he won’t again question her character and put her on trial? Mannat reveals the biggest loss she lost Shruti because of Vikrant’s misunderstanding and paid a huge price for it. She says she cannot forget all this and there is no point discussing it anymore. Vikrant has already moved on in his life and so has she.
Neetu argues that Dua has the right to know the truth and may question them in the future. Mannat immediately refuses saying Dua will neither ask nor needs to know. She firmly states that any decision related to Dua’s life will be taken only by her and Dhairya.
Ronnie Supports Mannat’s Decision
Ronnie steps in and supports Mannat. He clearly tells Neetu that only Mannat and Dhairya have the right to make decisions regarding Dua. He warns Neetu not to interfere and makes her promise that she will not reveal Dua’s truth to Vikrant or force Mannat to do so.
He even gives a strong ultimatum if she breaks this promise she will lose him forever and won’t see him again. Neetu is shocked. Ronnie reminds her that he has said this before but today is the last warning if Vikrant learns the truth from her he will leave her life completely.
Dhairya tries to calm Ronnie but Ronnie insists. Neetu finally agrees and promises she won’t reveal the truth. However she adds that she will pray every day for a miracle so that Vikrant discovers the truth on his own.
Dhairya feels heartbroken hearing this. Mannat notices his pain and feels bad. Overwhelmed Mannat breaks down and Ronnie consoles her.
Neetu Blames Dhairya for Everything
Later Neetu looks at Vikrant’s photo and cries. She blames Dhairya for ruining her entire family. Dhairya approaches her and shares his feelings. He says he knows she doesn’t want to listen but he still wants to speak. He reveals that his own mother betrayed him breaking his trust in maternal love. But when Neetu came into his life he finally understood what a mother’s love truly means.
He says he has tried to fulfill this relationship honestly and without any selfishness. He apologizes for the conflict between her and Ronnie and says she can punish him if she wants but asks her not to break ties with him. He clarifies that he is not trying to replace Vikrant. He only considers Neetu as his mother and loves Vikrant like a younger brother. He promises he will never come between Vikrant and Dua.
However Neetu angrily shuts him down. She tells him to stop the drama and makes it clear she is only Vikrant’s mother not his.
Mannat’s Emotional Breakdown
Mannat meanwhile is lost in thoughts about Vikrant. She questions why he doubted her and how he could believe she would betray him.
She reflects on her painful journey seven years of raising Dua alone. That journey was not easy. Every moment she felt the absence of a partner. Pregnancy brought physical and mental struggles and she faced everything alone.
Though Neetu, Ronnie and Dhairya supported her she realizes that family support and a life partner’s support are completely different.
She believed they understood the meaning of being life partners but Vikrant failed. Now that the truth is out he wants her to forget everything and come back. But how can she forget?
She acknowledges that maybe Vikrant regrets his mistake but those seven years and her struggles outweigh everything. She cannot return to him.
Neetu Accuses Dhairya Again
Neetu again blames Dhairya saying he forced relationships and is responsible for Vikrant and Mannat’s separation. She accuses him of bringing Vishakha into their lives and trusting her lies which destroyed the family.
She declares that he is responsible for her family’s destruction and will never be forgiven. Though she promised Ronnie not to reveal the truth she makes it clear that she will never forgive Dhairya. Dhairya is left shattered.
Ronnie Advises Mannat to Move On
Ronnie notices Mannat crying and comforts her. Mannat regrets coming to Mumbai and meeting Vikrant wishing none of this had happened.
Ronnie tells her not to pay attention to Neetu’s words. He reminds her of the pain she endured for seven years and says Vikrant was the reason behind it. He cannot see her suffer again. He advises Mannat to move on as Vikrant is starting a new life with Yashika. He suggests she should also leave her past behind and begin anew.
Mannat says Vikrant may have realized his mistake and learned from it. She can only hope he doesn’t hurt anyone else again. Ronnie then points out that earlier whenever Vikrant’s name came up there was pain and complaint in her eyes but now that emotion is missing. He questions if she still loves Vikrant.
He shares a deep insight some relationships grow stronger after hardships while others end midway because they were never meant to last. He tells her that her relationship with Vikrant is over with no complaints, hatred or hope left.
He urges her to free herself from this emotional bond and let go of Vikrant completely as he only wants to see her happy not in tears. Mannat is left shocked hearing this. Dhairya overhears the entire conversation.
Precap: Neetu meets Vikrant. Both get emotional. Neetu says no power in the world can separate a son from his mother. Vikrant assures her that no one can come between them now and together they will face everything.
