Today’s episode begins with Dua hiding the moment she spots the police. Mannat and Dhariya move from bus to bus showing Dua’s photograph to everyone and desperately trying to locate her. Mannat checks each bus thoroughly refusing to give up. Dhariya stands firmly by her side supporting her at every step. Overwhelmed by fear and guilt Mannat breaks down emotionally. Dhariya consoles her and assures her that they will find Dua very soon.
Meanwhile Dua covers herself with a jacket so that Mannat does not recognize her. She thinks Mannat must have realized by now that she is going to Mumbai and must be extremely worried and angry. Despite this, Dua believes she must go ahead because she needs to help Neetu and fulfill her purpose.
Inside the bus Dua tries to hide from Piku. Vikrant notices her discomfort and asks if she is feeling unwell assuming it might be because of the crowd. Aishwarya observes closely and feels that Yashika is constantly clinging to Vikrant. She begins to sense that Yashika might be hiding from someone on the bus. Aishwarya wonders who this person could be and realizes that something is definitely wrong.
Yashika on the other hand, feels that if she stays on the bus she will surely get caught. She starts planning how to get off the bus at any cost.
The police inform Dhariya that they have checked the entire bus but could not find Dua. Mannat panics and insists that the search was not thorough enough. Dhariya orders the police team to recheck the buses once again.
Vikrant hears Mannat’s voice outside and is shocked. His eyes instinctively begin searching for her. Confused by his own emotions Vikrant questions why Mannat’s thoughts keep following him everywhere and decides he must stop thinking about her.
The conductor announces that the bus will depart shortly. Passengers request music and a song plays that instantly reminds Vikrant of Mannat. When Vikrant questions why the bus is not moving despite all passengers being seated the conductor explains that the police have stopped the bus for inspection. Vikrant grows impatient and asks Kumar to call the DIG to resolve the issue.
Mannat’s Helplessness
Dhariya informs Mannat that there are still three buses left to be checked. Soon Dhariya receives a call from the DIG questioning why the buses are being delayed. Dhariya explains that Dua is missing and was supposed to board a Mumbai-bound bus so checking is necessary. However the DIG suggests that Dua may have gone home or to a friend’s place and orders the buses to be allowed to leave.
Angry but helpless Dhariya follows the order. Mannat pleads with him asking how Dua will be found now. Dhariya admits that there is nothing more he can do at the moment and decides to call home once again.
Dhariya informs Ronnie that they searched everywhere but could not find Dua. Ronnie says that if Dua had returned home she would have contacted them immediately.
Ronnie reflects on how destiny is playing a strange game Dua is unknowingly heading to Mumbai to meet her own father while Mannat is suffering terribly. Neetu remembers Dua’s words and becomes emotional.
Mannat begs Dhariya to stop the bus once more but Dhariya confirms that Dua has not returned home. Mannat panics again.
Dua falls asleep briefly and hears Mannat’s voice in her dreams. She opens her eyes sees Mannat at a distance and hides again. She worries that if Dhariya finds hershe will not be able to reach Mumbai. Dua prays silently asking God for a sign to tell her if she is doing the right thing.
Dua Get Divine Sign
Vikrant looks at the flower thread given to him by the pandit and thinks of giving it to his child someday. At that very moment Dua prays and the flower slips from Vikrant’s hand and lands near her. Dua takes it as a divine sign and feels happy believing that even God wants her to go to Mumbai and participate in the competition.
Mannat Collapses as the Bus Leaves
The bus finally starts moving. Mannat runs behind it trying desperately to stop it. Dhariya tries to hold her back but Mannat faints. Dhariya encourages her not to lose hope. He reminds her that this is the time to stay strong and continue searching for Dua.
Mannat blames herself saying she failed as a mother and never realized Dua wanted to go for the competition. She fears she will not survive if anything happens to Dua. Dhariya assures her that Dua will be found and that all Mumbai-bound buses are being monitored. He promises they will go to Mumbai immediately. Mannat prays silently for Dua’s safety until they reach her.
Yashika’s Fear
Dua prays for Mannat’s strength and believes she will win the competition. She is confident that Vikrant is fair and will give her a chance. She imagines introducing Mannat to Vikrant one day believing Mannat will also admire him. However Dua soon realizes she has run out of water.
Meanwhile Yashika panics when Piku reaches for his bag fearing exposure. His water bottle falls and her phone slips as well. Aishwarya questions her nervousness. Piku hands the phone back and Yashika breathes a sigh of relief once he leaves.
Pretending to feel sick Yashika asks the bus to stop. Dua also feels nauseous and hides when she sees the conductor fearing she will be thrown off for not having a ticket. Yashika insists she cannot travel inside the bus and is allowed to sit on the roof. Vikrant agrees to help her while Aishwarya suspects Yashika is manipulating him.
Ronnie calls Mannat for updates. Mannat tells him she is heading to Mumbai to find Dua. She decides that once Dua is found they will leave for Dubai immediately unwilling to take further risks. Ronnie wonders if destiny is trying to reunite Mannat and Vikrant but Mannat firmly denies it stating that she has written her own fate over the past seven years and Mumbai holds no place in her destiny.
Ronnie and Neetu sense a strange new hope emerging because of Dua and pray for a miracle.
Precap: Mannat discovers Dua’s Instagram account and realizes that Dua learned about the singing competition through social media. Later, Dua calls Vikrant “Baba ji’s Banda “triggering Vikrant’s memories of Mannat and leaving him deeply shaken.
