The episode commences as Ruhi hears a car horn and rushes to the window to witness Armaan’s arrival. Overjoyed, she heads downstairs, but her family expresses concern. Manish warns her to be careful, and she eagerly anticipates Armaan’s presence. However, her excitement dwindles when a courier delivers packages, attributed to Surekha’s shopping spree. Disheartened, Ruhi checks Armaan’s messages, only to realize he hasn’t come, leading her to question her significance to him.
Armaan receives a call but remains determined to focus on Ruhi. The call is from Abhira, seeking headache medicine. Ruhi observes this, hoping it’s Armaan on the line. However, Abhira insists it’s a minor issue and hangs up. Armaan contemplates returning but ultimately decides to continue to Ruhi. Meanwhile, Ruhi, disheartened by the lack of calls and messages from Armaan, imagines his arrival. She mistakenly calls Poddar house, leading to confusion about Armaan’s whereabouts.
When Armaan finally arrives, he discovers Abhira in distress over her mother’s unsolved murder. Ruhi, attempting to contact Armaan, unintentionally exposes her lingering feelings. Suspicious of Ruhi’s intentions, Manisha questions her call, and Ruhi fabricates a story about party arrangements. Armaan, unaware of Ruhi’s efforts, comforts Abhira, empathizing with her pain.
Suwarna encourages Ruhi to understand the growing bond between Armaan and Abhira, emphasizing their potential for love. Abhira, consumed by anger over her mother’s death, confides in Armaan. Ruhi, acknowledging Suwarna’s advice, fears she has lost Armaan’s affection.
Ruhi approaches Madhav, seeking his help. Madhav contacts the police to address the unresolved issues surrounding Yuvraj. Despite the challenges, Ruhi remains determined to bring justice. Suwarna persuades Manish to focus on Ruhi, as Abhira’s return to happiness remains uncertain. Armaan brings a cupcake to cheer up Abhira, showcasing their developing camaraderie.
In a surprising turn of events, Ruhi discovers a significant financial fraud in Manish’s account. Despite her intention to report it, Suwarna urges her to keep it hidden, revealing that the fraud was committed for Abhira’s sake. Ruhi is left shocked and conflicted by this revelation
