Rishi and Lakshmi’s Emotional Conflict
Rishi approaches Lakshmi, noticing her distress, and gently asks her what is wrong. He assures her that she is not alone and promises to stand by her side. However, Lakshmi, overwhelmed by emotions, pushes him away and cries silently. Concerned, Rishi once again asks her what happened. Lakshmi finally speaks, expressing the pain she is feeling. Rishi, determined to support her, reassures her that everything will be fine. But Lakshmi, lost in her thoughts, insists that nothing will ever be the same again.
Shalu and Ayush’s Heartfelt Moment
On the other side, Shalu watches Ayush with teary eyes. When Ayush calls her, she immediately sits beside him, holding his hand. Ayush, weak from surgery, notices her tears and asks if she is okay. Shalu, struggling with her emotions, questions how she can be fine when he is in such a state. Ayush, in his usual lighthearted manner, removes his oxygen mask and jokes that he just had surgery and is not in a condition to be scolded. Shalu denies scolding him but remains emotional.
Lakshmi’s Silent Sacrifice
Meanwhile, Lakshmi tells Rishi that everything has ended between them. Rishi refuses to accept her words, insisting that they will face everything together. He promises to listen to her worries once they return home and asks her to remember that he will always stand by her. He assures her that no one can separate them. However, Lakshmi, remembering Neelam’s words, makes up her mind. She realizes that to ensure Shalu’s happiness, she must walk away from Rishi.
Ayush’s Proposal and Shalu’s Confession
Ayush, despite his condition, tells Shalu that he can endure any pain but cannot bear to see her cry. Unable to hold back her emotions, Shalu hugs Ayush tightly. He smiles and assures her that he is not going to die, urging her not to worry. Shalu scolds him for even mentioning such a thing. Seizing the moment, Ayush teases her and asks if she does not want anything to happen to him. Shalu firmly says she does not. Then, in a surprising twist, Ayush asks Shalu to marry him. Shalu remains silent, stunned by his sudden proposal.
Rishi observes Lakshmi smiling and crying at the same time. Assuming her tears are of joy, he tells her to always stay happy. He then leaves to get medicine for Ayush.
Neelam’s Mysterious Plan
Elsewhere, Karishma questions Neelam about why she allowed Shalu to meet Ayush. Neelam responds that it was the right decision. She explains that Ayush, knowing the entire Oberoi family was there, still chose to meet Shalu first. Karishma disapproves, insisting that Shalu should be kept away from Ayush. However, Neelam remains firm, saying that in this situation, there is nothing more they can do. Karishma, frustrated, asks since when Neelam has started yielding to circumstances. Without answering, Neelam walks away. Kiran and Aanchal exchange glances, speculating that Neelam is up to something.
Shalu’s Promise and Ayush’s Collapse
Lakshmi reflects on her situation and realizes that to ensure Shalu’s love succeeds, she must sacrifice her own happiness. Meanwhile, Shalu, moved by Ayush’s words, finally gives her answer—she agrees to marry him. However, just as she makes her decision, Ayush loses consciousness. Panicked, Shalu calls the doctor to check on him, fearing for his life.
Shalu rushes to Lakshmi and informs her that Ayush has lost consciousness again. She breaks down, confessing that she never got the chance to fully express her love for him. She fears she will not be able to live without him and runs back to his side.
Malishka’s Selfish Intentions
Karishma, Kiran, and Aanchal once again confront Neelam, questioning her decision to let Shalu be with Ayush. Neelam calmly repeats her stance, but Aanchal argues that Shalu’s presence will only strengthen her bond with Ayush. Neelam remains unbothered, stating she believes her actions are justified. Aanchal remains suspicious, convinced that Neelam is planning something. Meanwhile, Kiran receives a call from Malishka and steps aside to answer it.
On the phone, Malishka impatiently asks Kiran for updates on the situation. Before Kiran can respond, Harleen enters the room, prompting Malishka to quickly put her phone on hold. She tells Harleen she is worried about Ayush but left the hospital because she couldn’t tolerate the hospital smell. Harleen advises her to take care of herself and leaves.
Once alone, Malishka resumes her conversation with Kiran. Kiran shares her concerns about Ayush and Shalu, noting that Ayush chose to speak to Shalu first after waking up. Malishka, uninterested in their relationship, cuts her off and shifts the focus to Rishi. She instructs Kiran to find a reason to bring Rishi home so that he can take care of her instead. Kiran agrees, setting another scheme into motion.
