The episode opens with Shashwat requesting Ishani to forgive him if she can. Ishani reassures him that she forgave him long ago. Shashwat confesses that his health is weak and he doesn’t have many years left, but he carries a major responsibility—Pihu’s marriage. He asks Ishani to stay at the house until the wedding, acknowledging he has no right to force her, but expressing his heartfelt desire.
Pihu hugs Shashwat and tells him everything will be fine. She asks Ishani if staying there is possible. Ishani hesitates, concerned that Anurag might misunderstand. Shashwat insists he can talk to Anurag, but Ishani declines. Raj Didi encourages Ishani to stay, instructs Pihu to call Siddarth’s family, and urges Ishani to speak to Anurag.
Eventually, Ishani agrees to stay until Pihu’s marriage. Pihu is overjoyed and hugs Ishani. Shashwat thanks her, acknowledging her support despite his past wish for her to leave the house. Ishani jokingly calls it emotional blackmail, and Shashwat expresses gratitude for listening to him.
Later, Ishani meets Anurag in the cafeteria. He notices her distant behavior and apologizes for being rude earlier. He explains that he was excited for their marriage and couldn’t tolerate her going to Shashwat’s house. Ishani explains that Shashwat is still in critical condition and requested her to stay.
Anurag admits it is his mistake to feel possessive and agrees not to interfere. He acknowledges that Ishani is not ready to marry him yet and tells her to do what she feels is right. He also says he will focus on his own priorities and let his mother find a suitable girl, urging Ishani to reflect on her own feelings for him.
The episode ends with both trying to balance their responsibilities, emotions, and future plans.
