Sachin says, “I’m leaving now,” and bids goodbye to Tejas. Tejas finds it unusual but responds, “Alright, bye.” Renu urges Sachin to leave, and he insists, “I’m going.” He walks out, but just then, Roshni arrives and greets everyone. Seeing her, Sachin comes back and greets her too. He mentions that he needs to leave to pick up the ride and asks for permission. Paresh, annoyed, responds, “How many times will you ask? Just go.” Sachin explains, “It’s family, so I’m just asking everyone.” Roshni agrees, and once again, Renu tells him to leave.
Roshni then asks Tejas to have breakfast, while Renu instructs her to change the cushion covers. Suddenly, Sachin rushes back, holding his stomach. Renu and Sayali immediately ask what happened. Clutching his stomach, he groans, “I have a terrible stomach ache.” He hurriedly makes his way to his room, but Renu stops him. Frustrated, Sachin exclaims, “I need to go to the washroom, move!” He dashes inside, and Renu sighs, “He’s about to create some problem.”
Later, Renu remarks, “They should be arriving now.” Paresh, confused, asks, “What’s going on? Who is coming? Tell me.” Renu reveals, “Akash and Riya are coming home.” Shocked, Paresh reminds her, “I told you Riya’s parents should bring her here.” Renu nods, “Yes, they are coming too.”
Soon, Akash, Riya, and Mamta arrive. Seeing them, Paresh recalls past traumas and becomes visibly angry. Akash greets Tejas, but Paresh remains silent. Overcome with emotion, Akash tears up upon seeing him. Meanwhile, Renu quickly locks the washroom door and instructs Roshni to bring the aarti plate. She asks Sayali to join in the aarti. Sayali hesitates for a moment, glancing at Paresh, but proceeds with the ritual.
Sayali performs the aarti first, followed by Renu. Riya then asks, “Do I look good?” Sayali, noticing her attire, asks, “A saree?” Riya replies, “I can’t carry a saree well.” Sayali shrugs, “Fine then.” Renu, sensing something amiss, asks, “What’s the matter?” Sayali brushes it off, “Nothing.”
Meanwhile, in the washroom, Sachin grows suspicious. “What is Renu planning? Is she bringing Riya home and trying to get rid of me?” he wonders. Outside, Renu urges Paresh, “Call Mamta inside. It doesn’t look good with her standing at the door.” Reluctantly, Paresh welcomes Mamta.
Akash suddenly falls at Paresh’s feet, apologizing. Renu then tells Riya to take blessings. Paresh blesses both Akash and Riya. Just then, Sachin starts banging on the washroom door. Paresh hears the noise and asks, “What’s that sound?” Renu dismisses it, “Nothing, maybe something happened at the neighbor’s house.” But Sachin continues shouting for Sayali.
Sayali rushes to open the door. He storms out and demands, “Who locked me inside?” Sayali tries to calm him, “It must have been a mistake.” He isn’t convinced. “I’ll ask Renu,” he declares and heads to the living room. There, he sees Akash, Riya, and Mamta and immediately gets angry.
Sayali stops him, but he warns Akash, “Get out of here!” Sayali pleads, “Calm down. I didn’t know Renu planned this.” He accuses, “Don’t lie to me!” Sayali insists, “I’m not lying. I promised you I wouldn’t hide anything from you.”
Mamta intervenes, “Stop fighting. Riya has a right to stay here.” Furious, Sachin retorts, “Stay out of our family matters!” He then turns to Akash. “Sayali has already suffered enough because of you. Do you want to make her life hell again? I won’t let that happen.” Sayali smiles at his support.
Sachin then confronts Mamta, “Where is Joy? Where is he hiding? Call him now!” Paresh tries to de-escalate, “Let it go, Sachin.” But Sachin refuses, “No! You’re kind, but I’m not like you.” Renu urges him to be quiet, while Paresh insists, “Just forget it and listen to me.” Reluctantly, Sachin says, “Fine.” Mamta then clarifies, “I came here only to drop Riya off. Otherwise, I know the problems going on in this house.”
Sayali reassures, “There’s no problem. Both daughters-in-law are happy here.”
Mamta scoffs, “We’re concerned about Riya’s well-being.” Sayali fires back, “You were looking for a groom for Riya, and he turned out to be a fraud trying to ruin her life. I informed you about that, yet you still took so long to act. And now, you question our family? Even Joy didn’t bother to come, and yet you stand here accusing us.” She taunts Mamta.
