The episode opens with a distressed Abhira waking up late at night to a call on her old, inactive phone. She hesitantly answers, and to her shock, it’s Armaan on the other end. Overcome with emotion, she tells him it’s been seven long years since she last heard his voice. Armaan, equally emotional and injured (with a bandaged head and hand), simply utters her name.
The scene then flashes back to “Kuch samay pehle…” (Some time ago). Abhira is seen desperately confronting Kaveri (Dadisa) and Vidya. She demands to know if Dadisa has met Armaan, as she suspects. Dadisa, with a cold demeanor, admits she did indeed meet Armaan at a cultural fest. This revelation leaves both Abhira and Vidya in shock. Abhira, heartbroken and tearful, questions Dadisa about Armaan’s well-being – if he’s eating properly, if he’s too thin, if he’s taking care of himself. She’s devastated that Dadisa didn’t inform her. Dadisa harshly tells Abhira that Armaan has moved on with his life and that Abhira holds no significance for him anymore. She further claims Armaan would sign divorce papers without a second thought and presents the papers to Abhira, along with a pen, urging her to sign them. A flashback montage shows Armaan blaming Abhira for their daughter Pooki’s (presumably Maayra’s nickname) situation and Abhira leaving Pooki with a letter.
Vidya tries to intervene, reminding Dadisa that she has a history of separating loved ones, citing the example of Madhav and Shivani. Dadisa remains resolute. Later, a distraught Abhira is shown sewing Armaan’s name on a piece of white cloth, pricking her finger in her agitated state. She laments how Armaan could forget her and their seven years together, questioning his ability to move on so easily. Her mother (Vidya, who seems to be living with her) tries to console her, saying Armaan wouldn’t forget her. Abhira, however, is unconvinced, pointing out his seven-year silence.
The episode then cuts to a hospital scene where Armaan and his grandfather (Daddu) are anxiously waiting outside an operating room. Their daughter, Maayra, is critically ill and undergoing surgery. Doctors discuss her severe bleeding. Armaan, overwhelmed with guilt, tells Daddu that he’s responsible for Maayra and “Geetu’s” (likely Abhira, possibly a pet name or a misunderstanding by Armaan about who is with Maayra) condition. Daddu tries to comfort him.
Back in her room, Abhira is restless and unable to sleep. The old phone rings again – it’s the call from Armaan shown at the beginning. From Armaan’s end, we see him at a payphone in what appears to be a cafe within or near the hospital, with Daddu present. The emotional exchange from the opening scene is replayed, with Daddu eventually forcing a tearful Armaan to hang up the call.
Abhira immediately tries calling back. A cafe attendant answers, informing her that the man who made the call has left. He gives the cafe’s address as “59, Pilgrim Road.” Abhira asks if it’s in Udaipur, but the attendant clarifies it’s in Mount Abu. This new information shocks Abhira, as she realizes Armaan is in Mount Abu, not Udaipur. She’s then shown in another flashback (seemingly from before the phone call, after Dadisa’s initial revelation about meeting Armaan at the fair) trying to come to terms with Armaan having moved on. Vidya tells her that her anger is justified. Abhira, in a moment of hurt resolve, declares she doesn’t miss Armaan and doesn’t care if he has moved on, cutting the cloth she was embroidering his name on.
The scene shifts back to the hospital. The doctor informs Armaan and Daddu that Maayra’s condition is critical and she needs an injection, but she’s refusing it. Armaan rushes into the ICU where Maayra and “Geetu” (who appears to be Abhira’s mother, severely injured and unconscious) are. Armaan tries to coax Maayra, who tearfully asks him, “Papa… Geetu… why can’t she be my Mamma?” Armaan is left heartbroken by his daughter’s innocent yet profound question.
Major Recap Points:
- Armaan is Alive and Contacted Abhira: After seven years of separation, Armaan called Abhira, revealing he is still alive, though Dadisa is actively trying to finalize their divorce and claims he has moved on.
- Maayra’s Critical Condition & Armaan’s Guilt: Armaan and Abhira’s daughter, Maayra, is in critical condition in a hospital in Mount Abu, requiring surgery. Armaan is present and consumed by guilt, while Maayra expresses a desire for “Geetu” (likely Abhira) to be her mother.
Plot Twists & Key Revelations:
- Dadisa Met Armaan at a Cultural Fest: This confirms Armaan is alive and was recently in Udaipur, a fact Dadisa hid from Abhira and Vidya.
- Armaan is in Mount Abu, Not Udaipur: Abhira (and the audience) initially believed Armaan might be in Udaipur. The revelation that he called from Mount Abu shifts the potential location for their reunion.
- Daddu Forced Armaan to End the Call: Armaan did not hang up on Abhira willingly; his grandfather intervened, suggesting external forces are keeping them apart beyond just Dadisa.
- “Geetu” is in the ICU with Maayra: The identity of “Geetu” (who looks like Vidya but is heavily injured and referred to differently by Maayra) and her relationship with Maayra and Armaan is a significant mystery. Maayra wishing Geetu was her mother adds another layer. (It’s highly likely Geetu is Abhira, but she is either severely injured affecting her appearance, or Maayra knows her by a different name/has a different mother figure).
- Vidya’s Revelation about Dadisa’s Past: Vidya confirms Dadisa has a history of separating couples (Madhav and Shivani), reinforcing Dadisa’s role as an antagonist in their love story.
- Armaan’s Letter & Divorce Papers: The flashback to Armaan’s letter blaming Abhira and Dadisa’s presentation of divorce papers shows the depth of the conflict and the official steps being taken to end their marriage.
Predicted Outcomes (Next Episode/Arc):
- Abhira Travels to Mount Abu: Driven by the phone call and the new address, Abhira will likely travel to Mount Abu in search of Armaan, leading to a potential confrontation or encounter at the hospital.
- The True Story of the Separation Will Unfold: With Armaan and Abhira potentially meeting, the misunderstandings and events of the past seven years, especially regarding Pooki/Maayra and the reasons for Armaan’s departure/silence, will start to be revealed.
- Maayra’s Condition as a Catalyst for Reunion: Maayra’s critical health and her wish for “Geetu” to be her mother will likely be the primary force bringing Armaan and Abhira face-to-face and forcing them to address their past.
- Daddu’s Role to be Explored: Daddu’s interference in the phone call suggests he is also against Armaan and Abhira’s reunion. His motivations and the extent of his involvement will likely be a key plot point.
- Identity of “Geetu” Clarified: The show will have to clarify if “Geetu” is indeed Abhira (perhaps known by a different name to Maayra or appearing different due to injury) or another significant female character in Armaan and Maayra’s life during the separation. If it’s Abhira, Maayra’s question will hit Armaan even harder.
