Today’s episode begins with Anupama saying that once the cafe starts no one will have any free time. Jaya innocently asks if Anupama will still make time to play with her.
Anupama smiles and tells her to enjoy her holidays for now adding that from the next day Jaya will start school as Ansh has already arranged her admission. Jaya gets excited hearing this. Anupama then tells Banku and Digvijay that she will send them the address of Anu Ki Rasoi now renamed Love You Cafe and asks them to go there directly. She says she will join them after visiting the temple. Banku and Jaya leave happily.
Anupama Remembering Her Mother
Anupama shows Digvijay a photo of her mother. She talks to the photo and says that whenever she was about to lose, her mother came into her thoughts, supported her, held her hand, made her stand again and showed her the path to victory. She thanks her and asks for her blessings for everyone.
Digvijay folds his hands and thanks Anupama for helping him. He says he was tired and had accepted defeat but she reminded him of his strength and gave him hope to win again. He says he will always remain grateful to her as long as he keeps winning.
Anupama tells him not to say such things as there is still a lot of work left. Digvijay replies that they will work and win together and that’s why he wanted to thank her again.
Food Carnival Preparations
Anupama asks Digvijay to go the next day and fill out the form for the food carnival from Love You Zindagi. She tells him not to worry about the license because Anu Ki Rasoi was already running there earlier so there shouldn’t be any issue. She assures him that she will handle all formalities and if anything comes up Ansh will take care of it.
She adds that Hasmukh will also support them. Digvijay asks about her family mentioning that he heard this house belongs to her mother and that Leela and Hasmukh are her family which seems quite big. Anupama says it’s a long story and she will tell him another day. For now they should focus on work. She receives a call and excuses herself.
Family Criticizes Anupama’s Decision
Toshu says that Anupama didn’t find peace raising others children and now she has started interfering again. He questions Hasmukh for giving her the keys to Anu Ki Rasoi without understanding anything.
Pakhi adds that Anupama will easily get a new place and open another cafe. Leela says there is no need to provoke Prem. She warns Hasmukh that Vasundhara has already created enough trouble and if she finds out about this cafe she will create a huge scene.
Pakhi says if Vasundhara returns she might create a deal. Toshu questions how Gautam would be involved in such a deal. Leela supports Pakhi and Toshu saying the situation is already tense and things could get worse.
Hasmukh remains silent initially. When asked to speak he finally says he is tired of their nonsense. He states that whether Vasundhara gets angry or Prem feels hurt it has nothing to do with Anupama’s work. He firmly says that Kinjal, Ansh and he himself are with Anupama and he will neither stop her nor let anyone else stop her. He warns them not to provoke him reminding them that he is even stronger than Vanraj when needed.
Anupama Meets the Officer About Prem’s License
Anupama thanked the officer for meeting her. She asks if Prem can get his restaurant license again explaining that mistakes happened due to lack of experience but they were not life-threatening. She hopes to bring good news to Prem and ease his pain.
The officer says she was previously offered a good job but she refused it. He mentions that Prem is not answering their calls. Anupama requests him to try again saying Prem is a good person and a talented chef and people should know the real taste he offers.
The officer understands but says Prem must reapply for the license himself as they cannot issue it without his application. He asks why she is so concerned whether she knows Prem or has a relationship with him.
Anupama replies that it is a relationship of pain. She says she understands what it feels like when dreams break as she has experienced it herself and Prem is going through the same. She asks the officer to try calling him again if possible and leaves.
Rahi Refuses to Meet Anupama
Rahi learns from Ansh that Anupama has returned. Ansh asks if she won’t meet her but Rahi refuses. She says the problem is not just refusing but that she even had to be asked and all problems are because of Anupama.
She blames Anupama for Prem’s depression and says meeting her would hurt Prem more which she will never do. Ansh says she is mixing personal and professional matters. Rahi responds that she is handling everything alone and the burden has become too much. She only wants to focus on Prem.
Ansh insists that Anupama is not at fault but Rahi says if he cannot understand Prem’s pain he shouldn’t try to explain anything. She asks if there’s something else he wants to say.
Ansh then tells her that Anupama is opening a new café at Anu Ki Rasoi’s place. Rahi is shocked. Ansh says he told her so she wouldn’t hear it from someone else. Rahi gets angry and says Anupama first caused damage and now is adding salt to the wound. She accuses her of snatching Prem’s work to become successful. Ansh tries to calm her down saying both matters are unrelated but Rahi disconnects the call.
Ansh worries that Rahi is misunderstanding Anupama again and fears this misunderstanding will increase the distance between them.
Rahi’s Anger and Misunderstanding
Rahi recalls Shruti’s words that if Anupama truly loved her she would have chosen her happiness over principles. Rahi says Anupama always does what she thinks is right without considering others. She gets furious thinking about it.
Anupama’s Emotional Conflict
Anupama thinks about Rahi and gets emotional. She feels Rahi is stressed about Prem’s license and has blamed her but she at least expected Rahi to trust that as a mother she would never wish her harm.
She worries that Rahi is drifting away again and will be more upset once she learns about the cafe. She thinks if Prem had answered her call she would have suggested starting the cafe together. She prays that Prem gets his license soon and his restaurant opens quickly.
Anupama Motivates Herself
Anupama accidentally slips and drops her phone. She sees old photos from her time in the USA remembering how she met Anuj ran a big cafe and won the Super Star Chef title. She motivates herself saying she has the passion experience and courage to make this cafe successful.
Suddenly she remembers Shruti and feels uneasy. She wonders why these memories are returning. She recalls events like her restaurant shutting down in the US returning to Ahmedabad meeting Anuj and Shruti again and Shruti leaving Anuj’s life. She wishes Shruti happiness despite everything that happened.
On the other hand Shruti thinks that Rahi is not happy. She recalls leaving everything for Rahi’s happiness and feels she must return for her again.
Prem and Rahi’s Emotional Moment
Prem sees Rahi sleeping and thinks that if he apologizes she will forgive him instantly but he doesn’t deserve such an easy forgiveness. Rahi wakes up. Prem feels guilty for hurting her while she handled everything alone. He gives her flowers. Rahi gets emotional and hugs him.
Prem asks what happened. Rahi says she met Shruti after many years which overwhelmed her. She feels Shruti hasn’t moved on unlike her. She realizes that Shruti loved Anuj deeply and sacrificed everything like a mother would.
Rahi says if Anupama had not interfered their family could have been happy. She decides she will never leave Shruti alone again.
Anupama’s Restlessness
Anupama wakes up from a nightmare feeling restless and uneasy.
Precap: Anupama finds Shruti’s locket containing pictures of Anuj and Rahi and is shocked. Later she tells Shruti that she can meet Rahi anytime but Rahi already has a mother.
Shruti sharply replies that Rahi only has a mother in name otherwise she would not have been alone all this time. Anupama is left stunned.
