The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai begins with Abhira consumed by tears, questioning her own vulnerability. She implores herself to stop crying, but the pain remains. Both Abhira and Armaan are heartbroken over their separation, expressing their anguish through poetic verses. Meanwhile, Krish visits Kiara’s room, attempting to prevent her from leaving. Kiara, however, is resolute. “I love Abhir,” she declares, determined to confess her feelings. Krish tries reasoning with her, reminding her of the unresolved family conflicts. She counters, pointing out Rohit and Ruhi’s happiness, but he warns her against this impulsiveness. Undeterred, Kiara decides to send Abhir a message.
Abhir, on the other hand, eagerly waits for Charu’s response. When Kiara’s confession of love arrives, his joy knows no bounds. “Am I dreaming? Charu loves me!” he exclaims. His happiness is palpable, so much so that Surekha notices his enthsiasm and comments on it. She calls him to meet some guests, and he obliges. Kiara receives Abhir’s reply, he reciprocates her feelings. Excitedly, she shows the message to Krish, pleading for his support. Reluctantly, he agrees, and she hugs him, overwhelmed with emotion.
In another part of the house, some ladies speak with Abhir, reminding him of a past accident and offering pity. Abhir, however, brushes it off with humor, acting unaffected. Manish observes this change with skepticism. “This doesn’t seem like our Abhir. He’s smiling,” he remarks, surprised. Swarna believes he is genuinely happy, but Manish is not convinced. He hints that something deeper is at play, especially with Abhira’s court hearing taking place.
When Abhira returns home, the same women shift their attention to her, offering pity. This only fuels her anger, leading to a heated argument. Manish steps in, asking her to control herself, but she storms off to her room. Abhir confronts the gossiping ladies, urging them to leave. Once they’re gone, Swarna reflects on the love Abhira and Armaan once shared. Manish, however, mentioned Armaan’s betrayal, emphasizing the damage it caused.
Armaan, meanwhile, worries about a personal diary of Abhira. Concerned that Dadi might find it, he hides it in a wrapped pot. At the same time, Manish overhears Roop advising a woman to make her ex-husband jealous after her divorce. The conversation intrigues him, but he moves on. Elsewhere, RK scolds a child, Bittu, for playing with his phone without permission. Bittu, unfazed, fixes RK’s hair before the two head home.
Abhira, lost in her thoughts, stumbles upon old photos of herself and Armaan. The memories bring fresh tears. She also notices one of RK’s posts online but dismisses it. Manish enters, offering her advice. “You should consider working with RK,” he suggests, but she is quick to reject the idea. “He’s a clown,” she retorts, annoyed by RK’s lighthearted demeanor. Manish, however, insists that sometimes, changing one’s perception is the key.
Determined to find work, Abhira calls her senior, hoping for assistance. Unfortunately, the response is disheartening. She’s told that she’ll need to wait at least three months, possibly a year, for her suspension to end. Frustrated, she contacts several other lawyers, but to no avail. The fear of losing her hard-earned reputation weighs heavily on her. Reluctantly, she decides to consider RK’s job offer despite her reservations.
RK, meanwhile, wakes up in his usual chaotic manner, searching for his phone. When Abhira calls, he answers with his characteristic charm, teasing her. She makes it clear that her call is strictly professional. “I accept your job offer,” she states bluntly. RK, however, can’t resist a joke, reminding her that she’ll now be his junior. He instructs her to meet him at the temple the next day, casually adding that she should bring two tiffins. Before she can protest, he ends the call.
Abhira, though irritated, knows she has no choice. She mutters to herself about having to endure RK’s antics, blaming her circumstances on Armaan. The episode closes with her resigned determination to face whatever challenges come her way.
