The episode begins on a high note with Jagdish asking Nitya to pass on their ancestral kada (a traditional bangle) to Meera after the puja. This momentous request leaves Nitya stunned. Unbeknownst to everyone, Nitya harbors a deep resentment towards Meera and devises a devious plan. She decides to make Meera fall down the stairs by spilling oil on them. As Meera descends the stairs, she slips, causing a moment of terror. However, Arjun and Jagdish witness the scene, and Nitya can barely conceal her smile, pleased that her plan has succeeded.
Kashvi’s Sleepless Night and the Mysterious Shadow
Rewind to a few hours earlier, Kashvi finds herself unable to sleep. Restless, she decides to take a walk in the hall, hoping to clear her mind. But as she walks, she is startled by the sight of a shadowy figure, causing her to scream in fear. Pradyuman, alerted by her scream, rushes to her side along with the servants. Kashvi, still shaken, explains that she couldn’t sleep and went for a walk but was terrified when she saw a shadow trying to scare her. Pradyuman tries to calm her down, assuring her that it was likely a figment of her imagination. The servants check the area and confirm that no one is there. Pradyuman suggests that Kashvi leave the middle door open if she feels scared. Meanwhile, Swati, who had been observing the situation, smiles secretly, hinting at her involvement.
Swati’s Unsettling Revelation
The next morning, Swati approaches Kashvi and greets her warmly. She inquires about Kashvi’s breakfast preference, to which Kashvi replies that she only wants coffee. Swati then brings up the shadow that Kashvi saw the previous night. Kashvi questions why Swati didn’t say anything if she had noticed something as well. Swati explains that Pradyuman dislikes discussing such things and hints that the shadow might be connected to Neelam, Pradyuman’s first wife who died after their divorce. Swati suggests that Neelam’s spirit could be lingering in the house because Pradyuman remarried. Kashvi dismisses the idea of ghosts, but Swati insists that she only wanted to warn her. Swati then leaves with a sly smile, leaving Kashvi deep in thought.
Meera’s Emotional Moment with Karun
Meanwhile, Meera takes Karun to school, and upon arrival, Karun’s friends congratulate him on securing second place in his class. Karun proudly introduces Meera as his new mother, which deeply touches Meera’s heart. Overcome with emotion, she hugs him tightly, feeling a strong bond forming between them.
A Coffee Break with Arjun and a Flash of Jealousy
Later, at the office, Kashvi heads to the break room to grab a cup of coffee. Just as she’s about to take the last cup, Arjun arrives with the same intention. Seeing only one cup left, they both hesitate but eventually decide to share it, with the peon dividing it into two halves. As they chat, Arjun asks Kashvi about her married life, but before she can respond, she notices Meera approaching. Changing the subject, Kashvi suggests Arjun focus on his married life. Meera joins them and excitedly shares how Karun introduced her as his new mother to his friends. Kashvi observes the affection between Arjun and Meera and can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy, realizing that Arjun has moved on and that Karun seems to have forgotten her. Arjun, however, praises Meera for her efforts in bonding with Karun. Meera then feels the baby kick, and Arjun is overjoyed as he places his hand on her belly to feel it. Kashvi, on the other hand, quietly acknowledges that she will be both a mother and father to her child, strengthening her resolve. Just then, Pradyuman informs Kashvi that their land deal has been finalized, bringing good news. However, Kashvi’s thoughts drift back to Swati’s words, and she wonders about Pradyuman’s connection to Neelam. When she questions Pradyuman, he quickly dismisses the topic, insisting that the past should remain in the past. Arjun overhears their conversation and becomes suspicious.
Nitya’s Wicked Scheme
Meanwhile, Jagdish shares some wise words with Karun, explaining that when we act with good intentions, we are rewarded by the divine, but when we do wrong, we face consequences. Nitya, listening in, decides that Meera must be punished for her perceived misdeeds. Seizing the opportunity, she takes a bottle of oil and pours it on the staircase, plotting Meera’s downfall—literally. She imagines Meera tumbling down the stairs, injuring herself, and feels a twisted sense of satisfaction at the thought.
Arjun’s Unexpected Gesture and a Narrow Escape
As the day progresses, Arjun offers to help Meera wear her saree for the puja, stating that if a woman can help her husband with his tie, then a husband should be able to help his wife with her saree. He carefully pins her saree pleats, and Meera expresses her gratitude. Arjun brushes it off, complimenting her on how beautiful she looks in the saree. Meera, in turn, reminds him to get ready for the puja. After ensuring that everything is in place for the ceremony, she calls the pandit ji, urging him to arrive quickly. As she descends the stairs, Meera slips on the oil Nitya had spilled, but Arjun, quick on his feet, catches her just in time, preventing what could have been a disastrous fall. As he holds her, his hand instinctively covers her belly, and Nitya, watching from the shadows, deduces that Meera is pregnant. She realizes that this must be the reason why Arjun married her, leading her to believe that the baby is Arjun’s.
Conclusion: The Web of Lies and Deceit Grows
The episode ends with tensions running high as Nitya’s sinister plot nearly comes to fruition, only to be thwarted by Arjun’s quick actions. The secrets and lies within the household continue to simmer beneath the surface, with each character harboring their own hidden agendas. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the past will not remain buried for long, and the consequences of these actions will soon come to light, setting the stage for even more drama and intrigue in the episodes to come.
