In the latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlaata Hai Armaan’s thoughts were consumed by his longing for a child. Shivani stood by him, offering comfort. She assured him, “I’ll always be here for you.” Manish encouraged Armaan to express his pain. Swarna sympathized with both Armaan and Abhira, knowing their silent suffering. Manisha fiercely promised to protect Armaan from everyone, prompting a rare chuckle from him.
Kaveri, unable to find her family, grew frustrated. Madhav bluntly told her, “No one wants to stay under the same roof as you.” They argued, and Madhav condemned Kaveri for attacking Abhira over her infertility. He reminded her, “You might be a mother, but you’ve never been a caring one.” He went on to accuse her of withholding affection from him, Manoj, and Kajal. Kaveri, visibly insulted, was left speechless.
Armaan tried to put on a brave face, distracting herself from the pain. Yet Abhira saw through him. She urged him to stop pretending. “Face the truth,” she pleaded, her voice trembling. “I can’t give you the happiness you deserve.” Overwhelmed, she broke down. Armaan, refusing to let her endure alone, held her tightly.
Time passed, and five months later, Shivani encouraged Abhira to prepare for a significant day. Abhira’s face reflected her anxiety. Shivani, sensing her fear, asked if she was feeling burdened with everything. Without answering, Abhira glanced around, longing for Armaan’s presence.
Meanwhile, Armaan inaugurated his travel agency. Surrounded by employees, his determination shone through. “We’re stepping into a new future,” he declared, masking his inner turmoil with a hopeful smile.
Back home, Kaveri insisted Vidya leave household chores to the staff. When Vidya mentioned a staff member’s absence, tensions rose. Ruhi suggested that Rohit intervene, but he dismissed the conflict, unwilling to get involved. Despite his silence, Rohit’s thoughts revolved around Armaan and Abhira. Determined, he resolved to support them through whatever lay ahead.
At the temple, Abhira and Armaan stood side by side, their hands folded in prayer. The Panditji offered them his blessings, saying, “Have faith. The divine path is not always visible.” Swarna and Manish prayed earnestly for their happiness, though Manish’s heart ached for Abhira. “She’s endured so much already,” he whispered sorrowfully.
Hope quickly crumbled at the hospital. Abhira waited anxiously, clutching Armaan’s hand. The doctor’s words shattered her. “The IVF attempt has failed,” she announced. Tears welled in Abhira’s eyes as the doctor explained the devastating reality, “You will never be able to conceive.”
Armaan stood firm, his resolve unwavering. The harsh reality became even more painful when the waiting room echoed with the joyous cries of a woman celebrating her pregnancy. The sound pierced through Abhira, leaving her overwhelmed and numb.
As the devastating truth sank in, Abhira’s sorrow seemed insurmountable. But amidst the darkness, Armaan’s silent promise remained, to stand by her, no matter what lay ahead.
