Anu convinces Atharva to patch up with Chini. Atharva says he will do whatever Anu says. Anu thinks she will use Atharva for her benefit now. Chini gets a message about a 5 star hotel reservation by the hotel’s CEO for her. She feels happy thinking Abhishek must have reserved a table for her again. Imlie prays to god that she learnt to speak truth hearing he parents’s stories and Chini directly from her parents, but for the first time she saw Chini lying for the first time. She notices Chini leaving home and follows her.
Chini notices her car and thinks whatever must have happened between Atharva and Imlie, if Imlie reveals the truth to Abhishek, then Abhihek will not marry her and she will not let that happen. She rides a car recklessly troubling people on the road and making them drop their goods on the road. Imlie’s car drives over nails and gets punctured. Chini grins seeing that. Imie’s car breaks also fail and she crashes her car to a tree trying to save a road crossing lady.
Imlie gets out of her car with an injured forehead and tries to repair it. Atharva passes by and thinks someone met with an accident, but he can’t stop or else he won’t be able to meet Chini on time. Imlie thinks Chini must have driven far away. At Rana house, Rudra misses Imlie and Atharva. Akash and Keya join them. Ginni and Ripu joke on them.
Devika says let us go on a family lunch. Keya says it’s good as she is bored of having Imlie’s prepared food. Ginni taunts why she doesn’t prepare food for a day and says their lunch outing is incomplete without Atharva and Imlie anyways. The Rana family leaves for a restaurant. Atharva reaches the restaurant and informs the receptionist that he had booked a table. Receptionist sends him in. He calls Anu, informs that he reached the restaurant, and asks why she booked a table at such a posh restaurant as he and Chini would have met somewhere else.
Anu thinks Chini loves his money and not his emotions; says he has gone to get back his lost love, then how can she leave any stone unturned. Atharva says he will try his best to convince Chini. She says all the best and disconnects the call. Atharva hopes he patches up with Imlie, thinks why he is talking about Imlie instead of Chini, wishes he can revive his friendship with Imlie, and calls Imlie to find out where she is now.
Imlie pleas passing vehicles to stop and pray Sita maiya. A group of goons pass by and stop their jeep. Imlie requests them to drop her. Goons pass on lewd comments on her. Imlie gets angry and starts walking. Goons follow her. Imlie prays to god for help and starts running. She notices an auto and pleads with the driver to drop her. Goons warn him to leave. Auto leaves. Imlie crashes on a car next. Abhishek gets out of the car and asks if she has decided to crash only on his vehicle. Goons drive away.
Imlie reveals that her car had an accident and goons were following him. Abhishek makes her feel comfortable and gets her into the car. He talks about falling in love. Imlie prays to god that he gets his lady love and protects his love from evil eyes. He smiles. She asks him to drop her to a hotel. He insists to take her to a doctor first and then drop her to a hotel. She agrees.
Chini reaches the restaurant and feels excited seeing a rich environment. Atharva worried about Imlie continues to call her. Imlie picks call. Atharva says he has been calling her since long. She asks why. He asks if he can’t call her, says he feels she is not safe and hence calls to find out if she is fine. Imlie asks why he feels so. Atharva says he knows she puts herself at risk to help others. Imlie asks if it’s her mistake.
Atharva says it’s his mistake that he is habituated to share everything with her and apologizes to her. She asks where he is. He says in his studio. She says she will disconnect the call now. He asks if he is really fine. She says he should question this if he remembers her even after years, he gave her a never healing wound and should stop worrying about her. She thinks some things have to be broken down completely to rebuild them, she is reaching the restaurant to clear her fear about Atharva and Chini.
Chini reaches the restaurant and excitedly hugs Atharva from behind confusing him as Abhishek and thanks him for this awesome surprise. Atharva turns. Chini gets angry seeing him and tries to leave. Atharva tops her and says they sit and can speak. Chini says there is nothing to speak as their relationship is over. Atharva says Imlie knows about his affair, and they can announce their relationship to her. He hugs her tightly.
Rudra says there is no need to explain. Atharva is shocked to see his whole family standing in front of him. Chini fears she will lose Abhishek. Rudra says Imlie knows about his and Chini’s affair now and shows Imlie standing with tears in her eyes. Devika slaps Atharva and blames flaws in her upbringing that Atharva did such a heinous act. Shivani stops her and says it’s her good upbringing that Atharva had informed them that he doesn’t love Imlie, but Rudra and Devika forcefully got him married to Imlie. Imlie shatters hearing that.
Rathores walk in. Keya taunts them that they taught their daughters to share things among themselves, hence Imlie and Chini are sharing Atharva. Devika warns her to shut up. Keya says she wants to know why Imlie and Chini are both behind Atharva. Rupali says their family had come up with an alliance for Imlie. Divya says they had many alliances for Atharva, but Rudra and Devika got him forcefully married to Imlie. Rupali asks why didn’t they get Atharva married to one among many girls. Shivani says they dumped their inauspicious daughter in our house, after which all the accidents happened in their house. Rupali asks why they don’t reveal Atharva’s secret also. Allegations and counter allegations continue. Imlie shouts to stop.
She walks to Rudra and asks when he knew from before that Atharva loves someone else and not her, then why did he get Atharva married to her. Rudra says he thought Atharva would reform in her company. Imlie says Atharva is unable to raise his head because of Rudra. Rudra says he is at fault and is speechless. Imlie tells Atharva that he gave her pain for her whole life.
She then Imlie that she ruined her life and betrayed her. Chini tries to justify herself. Imlie gives her a tight slap and says she is at fault. Imlie says she and Atharva both are at fault. Imlie warns her to lower her gaze and says people say right that the one who is closest to them most, she stooped so low that she forced her to slap her.
Chini says she is slapped, but everyone is blaming her; Imlie is acting a victim again and framing her as villain again. Rupali stops her. Chini says let her speak today and says shew was always considered as Imlie’s sidekick, her own family loves Imlie more than her and she is a stranger in her own house. She says a bitter truth here is Imlie is a Rathore and she is a Tripathi, a second-class citizen like her mother was treated.
Rupali says they always considered Imlie and Chini as equal. Imlie says if Chini had told her, she would have given her everything. Chini asks even Arto? Imlie says Atharva is not a thing to be sacrificed, but if Chini had informed her beforehand, she would have walked out of their way. Chini says it’s a frustration of years. Imlie says she is a fire like her mother and not an ash. She leaves from there crying.
