The episode begins with a tense and emotional confrontation between Geetanjali and a bruised Armaan. She is tending to a sleeping Myra, who is injured and has a bandage on her head. Geetanjali, also showing signs of being hurt, tells Armaan that even though she knows their marriage is for Myra’s sake, she wants to ask him something personal about his past. With a heavy heart, she asks him to tell her about his ex-wife. Armaan is left speechless and pained as the scene flashes back to earlier events.
The flashback reveals Abhira in a state of complete emotional devastation. Her mother, Vidya, and Dadi Sa try to comfort her, but she is inconsolable. Dadi Sa reveals that Abhira went to meet Armaan and discovered the “truth.” A heartbroken Abhira confesses that Armaan has completely forgotten about her and their daughter, Pooki. She tearfully recounts how Armaan has made Myra his priority and has even accepted her as his own daughter. The most devastating blow, she explains, was witnessing Armaan propose marriage to Myra’s mother, Geetanjali, right in front of her.
Vidya is shocked, unable to believe Armaan could do such a thing. However, Dadi Sa, through her internal thoughts, reveals a critical piece of the puzzle: she realizes Abhira is completely mistaken. Abhira doesn’t know that Myra is, in fact, her own daughter, Pooki, and that Geetanjali is Armaan’s ex-wife. Dadi Sa sees this misunderstanding as an opportunity and chooses to remain silent, allowing Abhira’s pain to fester.
Overwhelmed by what she believes is Armaan’s ultimate betrayal, Abhira feels like the world’s biggest fool for holding onto hope for seven years. She believed he was suffering as much as she was, only to find him seemingly happy and building a new family. Convinced that their love was one-sided all along, she makes a firm decision. She picks up a pen and, with tears streaming down her face, signs the divorce papers, determined to free both herself and Armaan from their past. She then calls her friend Anshuman to get the address of Myra’s mother to send the papers.
Meanwhile, a parallel narrative shows Armaan’s side of the story. He is at the hospital, watching over a sleeping Myra. He is visibly tormented, holding a small photograph of Abhira and looking at it with deep sorrow and longing. His internal monologue reveals his intense conflict. He is bound by a promise to Myra to marry Geetanjali, a decision he made solely for his daughter’s well-being. He feels he cannot risk Myra’s life again. However, his love for Abhira is still very much alive. He recalls their past memories and is clearly in immense pain over the situation, feeling selfish and trapped between his past love and his present duty.
The episode culminates in a phone call between Armaan and Abhira. Abhira, maintaining a cold and distant tone, tells him it’s too late for them to start anything new and that she is sending him something to end their unfinished story. The call ends abruptly, leaving Armaan confused and shaken. He wonders how she got his address and fears she might have found out about Myra.
