Today’s episode starts at the school where the peon informs Abhira that her turn has come to meet the principal. He tells her to write the father’s name on the admission form and then go inside.
As Abhira begins filling out the form, Armaan arrives at the school with Miara. Before they can notice Abhira the peon stops Armaan and informs him that the principal is currently meeting parents one by one. Until his turn he is asked to leave Miara’s luggage in the hostel room. Armaan agrees. Miara goes to place her bag in the hostel. At that exact moment Abhira turns around slightly but she fails to see them.
The peon urges Abhira to hurry because other parents are waiting. She completes the form and walks inside. Meanwhile Armaan also steps forward to fill out his form. He asks the peon for a pen. The peon calls out to Abhira requesting her to pass her pen. Abhira extends her hand without looking. Armaan takes the pen from her hand. Their fingers briefly touch and they are just about to look up at each other when the peon interrupts Armaan asking him to fill the form. At the same time a teacher escorts Abhira into the principal’s office. Once again they miss seeing each other.
Inside the cabin the principal asks Abhira for the child’s name. Abhira mistakenly says Miara but quickly corrects herself and says Mukti.
Outside Armaan waits for his turn. A random parent starts a conversation with him saying he is also there for his daughter’s admission and asks about Armaan’s purpose. Armaan replies briefly that he is there for his daughter’s admission too and tries to excuse himself.
However the man continues talking that nowadays schools not only interview children but also parents and soon they might have to attend classes themselves. He laughs at his own joke, but Armaan ignores him. The man even asks what stream Armaan thinks his daughter will choose in the future Arts, Science, or Commerce and what his long-term plans are. Armaan remains distracted and uninterested. Soon Abhira exits the principal’s office. At the same time the peon calls Armaan inside. Once again they pass each other closely but fail to make eye contact.
Abhira Armaan Emotional Goodbyes
Abhira waits outside for Mukti. On the other hand Miara searches for Armaan wondering why his meeting is taking so long. Just as Abhira is about to notice Miara a group of parents walk in between them blocking her view.
Armaan’s driver arrives. Miara asks where Armaan is. The driver explains that Armaan had an urgent meeting and left in a hurry, even taking the car himself. He did not wait. Meanwhile another girl approaches Abhira and asks if she is Mukti’s mother. Abhira anxiously asks where Mukti is. The girl informs her that the student induction has already begun and parents are no longer allowed to meet their children.
Abhira feels heartbroken saying she did not even get to say goodbye. Miara also feels hurt that Armaan left without saying farewell.
Mukti Miara Cry in Silence
Inside the girls’ washroom Mukti cries alone. She tells herself that she deliberately did not go to say goodbye to Abhira because if she had hugged her.she would have broken down and refused to stay. She knows how many sacrifices Abhira made to secure her admission and she does not want those sacrifices to go to waste.
Elsewhere Armaan asks his driver to stop the car. He hands him money and tells him to go home. The driver admits he lied to Miara as instructed but it felt wrong because even though she did not cry in front of him her heart was breaking. Armaan apologizes in tears saying he could not say goodbye because it would have shattered him completely.
Miara enters the washroom determined not to cry. She reminds herself that Armaan worked very hard for her admission and she will not behave foolishly. However when she thinks of him she breaks down. Mukti is also crying in another corner of the same washroom. Miara silently wishes she could have had one last hug.
At the same time Armaan sits alone, overwhelmed with emotion.
Armaan Protects Abhira
On the road Abhira’s car crosses Armaan’s vehicle. Suddenly her car breaks down. She steps out to check and realizes it has malfunctioned. While trying to repair it herself she remembers that Mukti herself wanted admission to this school so she questions why she is crying now. Some local troublemakers notice her alone and begin harassing her. They tease and misbehave ignoring her warnings.
Armaan sees this from a distance and wonders whether he should intervene. At first he decides not to get involved. However Abhira bravely fights back and manages to defend herself. She starts her car and leaves.
The goons attempt to chase her but Armaan blocks their path. They insult him which angers him further. He beats them and stops them from following her. Abhira notices someone helped her. She reflects that this protective feeling is something she had almost forgotten. She believes only someone with an old connection would step forward like that. Before she can see who it was and thank him Armaan has already left. She silently prays that she meets him again someday.
Mukti and Miara’s First Clash
Meanwhile Mukti walks with her luggage but stumbles and falls. She notices Miara’s bag blocking the passage. Irritated she throws Miara’s bag aside. Mukti’s nearly loses her balance but holds Miara’s hand to prevent her from falling.
Miara confronts Mukti for throwing her bag. Mukti replies angrily that the bag was blocking her way. Miara equally upset throws Mukti’s bag in return. The argument escalates into a fight.
The hostel warden arrives scolds both of them and orders them to pick up their bags and go to their respective rooms. They glare at each other before leaving.
Precap: Armaan misses Miara deeply, while Abhira misses Mukti. Unable to stay away, both Armaan and Abhira secretly go to the hotel to meet their daughters. The hotel lights go out setting the stage for another dramatic encounter.
