Akshu, remembering Manjiri’s words, seeks her assistance, and they both agree it could make a difference. Meanwhile, they notice Abhi’s despondency, leading to some skepticism from Surekha. However, Aarohi remains hopeful that they can uplift his spirits.
Abhinav, determined to bridge the gap between Abhi and Abhir, encourages Abhi to spend time with his son. Initially hesitant, Abhi eventually succumbs to Abhinav’s embrace, and they share a poignant moment.
Manish urges Akshu to talk to Abhi, despite her doubts about being heard. Abhinav, on the other hand, imparts some valuable advice to Kairav and Muskaan, drawing from his six years of experience. He emphasizes the importance of love, respect, and communication in a successful marriage. While Abhi contemplates leaving, Akshu persuades him to stay back for Abhir’s sake. She reminds him of the heartbreak he endured and encourages him to give Abhir a chance to love him. Amidst the emotional conversation, Abhinav adds a touch of humor and bonds with Manish over snacks.
Manish expresses his gratitude for Abhinav’s selflessness and acknowledges the positive impact he has had on both families. He credits Abhinav for helping Akshu rediscover happiness, becoming a loving father figure to Abhir. Despite the desire to celebrate Abhinav’s birthday, they choose to focus on the present situation. Akshu updates Abhinav on her conversation with Abhi, which leads to Abhi reading Abhir’s heartfelt card and breaking down in tears.
Manjiri intervenes, unable to bear Abhi’s pain, and assures him she knows what he needs to do to become a part of his son’s life. As the episode unfolds, the family engages in games and joyful moments. Abhinav cherishes a tender moment with Akshu but experiences a moment of unease, prompting concern from her.
