Today’s episode begins with Meher meeting Armaan and asking him about the previous day. She tells him that Mittal informed her how Armaan left the meeting midway and when she couldn’t reach him on call she understood that something serious was wrong which is why she came to help him.
Armaan explains that he has spoken to several schools and is now preparing a new list to approach more schools. Meher tells him that he doesn’t need to worry anymore as she has already found the best school for Miara.
Armaan reveals that this school was already on his top list but the principal had informed him that admissions were closed. Meher calmly says that she has spoken directly to the school board and once Miara’s marksheet and certificates are submitted along with the admission and tuition fees the admission will be confirmed. When Armaan stands up to thank her Meher stops him and firmly says that Miara’s education is non-negotiable and she cannot compromise on it. Armaan insists that even though he had decided not to say it he still wants to say thank you. Meher smiles and says she feels Miara will really love this school.
Abhira Stress about Mukti’s Education
At the same time Abhira visits the same school area and starts calculating the expenses. She says that while tuition fees are manageable the future expenses worry her. She soon learns that the annual fee is ₹2 lakh and with all other expenses the total yearly cost will reach ₹7–8 lakh.
Jaya and Nilesh overhear this and are shocked. Nilesh tells Abhira that if she ever needs help she can ask him. Abhira tells him to focus on Rinku’s wedding preparations instead. Jaya adds that Rinku and Mukti are equally important to her and if Abhira needs help with the admission she should let her know. Abhira politely asks Jaya to focus only on the wedding saying she will manage everything else.
At the Poddar house Vidya asks Armaan to eat but he reminds her that he has told her many times not to stay awake at night. Vidya retorts that she has also told him repeatedly to eat on time but he never listens. Vidya asks if he found a school for Miara. Armaan replies that he has found the best school explains that hostel stay is compulsory which deeply worries Vidya. She insists that Miara should not go and asks him to look for another school.
Armaan says the school is perfect for Miara and although he knows he won’t be able to live without her he can sacrifice even his life for her future. Vidya replies that giving life for a child is easy but living without them is far more difficult and tells him not to pretend to be strong in front of her.
Jaya and Nilesh discuss how Abhira will manage such huge expenses alone. Nilesh wonders where customers will come from at night while Nilesh questions where Mukti’s father is. She says he left years ago and never took responsibility for his daughter.
Jaya feels that Abhira doesn’t want to talk about her husband as she becomes disturbed whenever he is mentioned. Nilesh says such a man is neither a good husband nor a good father.
Armaan Abhira Struggle With Emotional Decisions
Armaan looks at Miara’s photograph and becomes emotional. Meanwhile Abhira talks to Mukti’s photo saying she was saving money for her birthday but will now have to use it for her admission. She counts her savings and realizes that even the uniform cost cannot be covered.
She mentions that the bank has already refused a loan and wonders where she will arrange money from. She decides to call Mangilaal asking if he knows someone who can lend ₹7–8 lakh urgently as she needs it for Mukti’s admission.
At the same time Armaan completes Miara’s admission formalities and says that money is not the problem but letting go of Miara is. He worries how he will live once she leaves for the hostel.
Abhira’s Financial Burden
Abhira says that if her life were ever turned into a story, its title would be No Matter How Hard She Tries It’s Never Enough. She recalls how she celebrated Mukti’s birthdays with just bread, jam and candles.
She says Mukti has always been calm and never demanded anything but now she dreams of studying in an expensive school and Abhira prays that somehow money gets arranged so her daughter’s dream can come true.
Mukti Refuses to Be a Burden on Abhira
Mukti understands the expenses and realizes that even after scholarship the cost is very high. She decides she will not study there. Other students tease her but Mukti says that Abhira already works day and night and she cannot let her mother break down further.
She tells them she will study in a government school instead as she doesn’t want to trouble Abhira anymore.
Tension at the Poddar House
The atmosphere at the Poddar house turns tense during breakfast . Krish confronts Madhav saying that he should not have spoken to Armaan the previous day. Krish points out that Armaan is already under immense pressure, struggling to find a new school for Miara and Madhav’s harsh words only added to his stress.
Madhav refuses to back down. He says that he will never support Armaan firmly blaming him for the current situation the tension in the family exists only because of Armaan’s decisions and he feels no regret about speaking the truth. Tanya intervenes and says that if Madhav continues to speak the truth so bluntly Armaan will stop communicating with him altogether. She also questions why Madhav ignored Armaan’s rude behavior toward him earlier. Sanjay interrupts Tanya asking her not to interfere between Krish and Madhav and not to cut Krish off repeatedly.
Tanya defends herself clarifying that she is only expressing her opinion and not trying to insult Krish. Sanjay sharply replies that her behavior doesn’t reflect that. The argument escalates when Sanjay says Tanya supported Manoj by giving him job in the company instead of Krish. Sanjay points out that now the truth is starting to hurt which is why Tanya feels uncomfortable. Krish says that he already has a good job and doesn’t want to continue the discussion.
Kajal then questions Krish asking whether he truly has a good job or if he is still roaming around Armaan indirectly depending on him. Tanya immediately responds saying that Manoj genuinely deserved the job and besides Krish had himself refused to attend the interview. She reminds Kajal that she was present at that time and had supported her then.
Kajal agrees that she supported him earlier but accuses Tanya of neglecting her relationship with Krish now. She bluntly asks when the couple last went out together or even sat down to eat a meal together, highlighting the emotional distance between them. Unable to tolerate the accusations any longer Tanya says she is getting late for office and walks away leaving the breakfast table filled
