The latest episode of Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hai unfolds with Charu mentioning that Abhira is eager to meet Arman. Vidya, unimpressed, questions Charu’s intent and reminds her that she doesn’t need lessons on how things work. She then firmly states that Arman is not at home. Abhira, puzzled, reveals that he is absent from the office as well. Kajal advises her to check again. Meanwhile, Rohit urges Vidya to stay calm.
Elsewhere, Swarna informs Kaveri that RK’s address has been shared. Manish, curious, asks Kaveri why she wants to visit RK when a simple phone call would suffice. Kaveri explains that she prefers a personal invitation. Swarna, amused, playfully asks Manish if he enjoys teasing Kaveri. Manish, however, remains skeptical, wondering why Kaveri would make time to meet RK when she has pressing matters to handle.
Abhira, determined to uncover the truth, sneaks into Madhav’s room. She is taken aback to find no photograph of Armaan’s real mother. As she searches further, she discovers a key to her house, prompting her to dig deeper. Meanwhile, Arman, lost in thoughts about RK, accidentally bumps into Abhira. He questions her presence in Madhav’s room. Though he acknowledges that he has no authority over her anymore, he still expects an answer. Instead of pressing further, he coldly tells her to do whatever she pleases.
Kaveri arrives at RK’s residence. RK, surprised by the visit, asks about the reason. Kaveri, curious, subtly tries to extract information about Shivani while extending an invitation to Charu’s wedding. At the same time, Shivani, overhearing the conversation, grows suspicious and decides to investigate. The moment Kaveri’s eyes land on a picture of RK and Shivani together, shock takes over. Sensing trouble, RK bluntly asks Kaveri to leave.
Meanwhile, Abhira reaches Armaan’s real mother’s house, determined to find proof. She scans the room for pictures and eventually stumbles upon an old photograph of them together. However, Madhav’s wife’s face remains unclear. Back at RK’s place, Shivani, still uneasy, inquires about the visitor. RK mentions that it was regarding Charu and Abhir’s wedding invitation. Shivani, concerned, insists that he should leave, fearing Kaveri’s interference.
At home, Vidya confronts Arman, sensing his distant behavior. She asks if he is upset with her because of Abhira. Arman, weighed down by guilt, confesses that his attempt to be an ideal son came at the cost of his marriage. He voices his regret, stating that Abhira had made efforts to save their relationship, but his stubbornness ruined everything. Defending her, he tells Vidya, “You won’t find a better daughter-in-law than Abhira.” He urges her to let go of past grievances and be happy.
As Valentine’s Day arrives, both Abhira and Arman find themselves lost in thoughts of each other. Fate plays its part, leading them to cross paths at a store. Their eyes meet, bringing a rush of emotions they can no longer ignore.
