Today’s episode opens with Abhira thanking God saying that although life has taken away someone very close to her she was never left completely alone. Mukti quietly watches Abhira sensing the weight behind her words and realizing that Abhira is hiding deep emotional pain behind her calm exterior.
Mittal shows Armaan the entire locality Armaan asks him what the real issue is. Mittal explains that there is one woman in the who is refusing to sell her property. He reveals that he has already offered money to several residents and many have accepted but this woman is influencing others and turning them against the project. Mittal says that all redevelopment papers are ready yet because of this woman nothing is moving forward. He shows Armaan the model of the township and shares his dream of building the biggest project in the area. However that woman’s garage and the surrounding houses are standing between him and his dream.
Armaan asks if the residents refused the money and Mittal nods. Armaan finds this suspicious and says if poor people are rejecting money and a better living standard then something is definitely wrong.
Mittal dismisses this saying it is greed and emotional drama. He accuses them of pretending to be noble,claiming built her house with their own blood and sweat and emotionally blackmailing the residents. He adds that because of her he is facing huge losses and stress. Armaan calmly advises Mittal to think about benefits for both sides and assures him that he will personally handle the issue. Armaan decides to go himself and speak to the residents and the woman to understand why she is so angry.
Mittal suggests making one final attempt and warns that if they still refuse illegal methods may be used. Armaan clearly disagrees and says that force will not work on these people. Mittal hands Armaan a stamp-paper file and asks him to check it once. Armaan agrees.
Abhira’s Injured Hand
Abhira’s hand starts hurting and Mukti applies medicine herself. Mukti scolds her gently asking why she continues working despite the pain. Abhira replies emotionally she Mukti is her mother so how could know about her injury?
Mukti mentions that due to the cold weather she had advised Abhira to wear gloves but she never does today Abhira was roaming with them which is how Mukti understood something was wrong.
Mukti Scholarship Worries
Mukti notices Abhira packing her suitcase and asks her to stop. She reminds Abhira that her school admission has not happened yet and they do not have money so packing makes no sense. Abhira tells Mukti not to worry about money and says that handling finances is her responsibility. She reminds Mukti that there is still the scholarship option.
Mukti breaks down saying she they should forget about the scholarship exam because it was extremely hard and no one knows what the results will come. She admits that usually Abhira finds solutions for every problem but this time there is no miracle.
Abhira asks her to calm down gives her medicine and reassures her gently.
Armaan asks his assistant to bring Mittal’s redevelopment file. When the file is handed over Armaan reads it and angrily throws it back saying these are not redevelopment papers and the names and documents do not match at all. The assistant is revealed to be Krish who accidentally calls Armaan brother. Embarrassed Krish apologizes. Armaan reminds him to arrange Kajal and Sanjay’s medical checkups then instructs him to bring the correct redevelopment file.
After Krish leaves Armaan watches the locality’s PPT and says that even if it doesn’t seem likely he hopes the residents accept Mittal’s offer because coercion is not his style and won’t work on them.
Abhira and Mukti’s Light Moment
Abhira washes the car and tells Mukti that whenever her mind overthinks cleaning helps calm the brain. Mukti says that even if she washes the entire neighborhood her mind will not calm down. Abhira convinces her to try once. Both wash the car together, splash water, laugh and enjoy the moment. Abhira asks if her mind feels calmer now and Mukti nods yes.
Abhira confidently says that she believes the scholarship will come through money will be arranged and giving up is never an option.
Mukti’s Fear of Separation and Emotional Breakdown
Mukti worries that even if the scholarship comes heart attacks will still come and one day she will have to leave Abhira to chase her dreams. She breaks down thinking about how she will survive without Abhira and who will take care of her pain. Abhira hugs her tightly and tells her to cry freely. She explains that dreams are seen at home but fulfilled outside and stepping out is necessary.
Mukti says Abhira is her entire world and Abhira replies emotionally that Mukti is her world too. Mukti calls herself the world’s best mother and says she loves Abhira making Abhira emotional.
Miara’s Hidden Truth
A woman outside announces that it’s already 4 PM and the children’s bus has not arrived yet. Hearing this Abhira runs inside opens her laptop but the Wi-Fi isn’t working. She fixes it desperately and checks her email saying anxiously that there is still no mail even after 4 PM. She then opens another email and sees Miara’s photo which makes her emotional. She says that every week Miara’s photo arrives and every week she wonders how Miara can be so beautiful.
Mukti notices Abhira acting strangely and goes to check. Abhira apologizes to Miara photo saying she loves her deeply and is sorry that Miara has to grow up without her. Suddenly music starts playing. Abhira quickly shuts the laptop. Mukti becomes suspicious and asks why she closed it so fast and what she is hiding. Abhira avoids the question saying she is just overthinking.
Mukti’s Beautiful Lie
Mukti takes Abhira outside teasing her for asking too many questions and joking that she should have been a lawyer. She closes her eyes and surprises her with a new speaker set. Abhira asks how much it cost and asks if Mukti stole it. Mukti laughs and explains that Lala Uncle bought a new speaker for his shop sold the old one at a cheap price and the garage needed one anyway. They play music, dance together and enjoy the moment. Mukti lovingly watches Abhira smile.
In a flashback Mukti lies to Lala saying his speaker is broken. With the children’s support she convinces him to buy a new one and later sells the old speaker.
In the present Mukti says that any lie that brings a smile to Abhira’s face is more valuable than a harsh truth. She promises that she will give Abhira all the happiness she has been missing because right now Abhira’s happiness matters more than anything.
While dancing Abhira remembers Miara again and becomes emotional.
Precap: Abhira confronts Radhe Shyam’s goons and boldly tells them that he cannot buy her house or shop and if he wants to talk he should come face-to-face instead of hiding behind phone calls like a coward.
Armaan recalls Mittal mentioning a garage and asks Krish to open its redevelopment file. Krish reads the owner’s name Abhira. Armaan is completely shocked.
