At the beginning of the episode, Ayush is shocked to know that Lakshmi has come to know the truth. He asks Rishi where Lakshmi is. Lakshmi runs alone on road, devastated. She remembers her moments with Rishi and that Shalu warned her about Rishi having an affair. She is able to finally put two and two together about Rishi and Malishka. She realises that Rishi lied to her all along that he loved her.
Lakshmi goes to the same roadside temple. She complains to Mata Rani why this happened to her. She says she never asked for all this but she had to face such a huge betrayal. She says Rishi’s love and their marriage was a pretence.
Malishka tells Ayush that Lakshmi must have gone home and she will tell everything to others at home. She tells Rishi that he must stop Lakshmi from telling this to Neelam. She tells Ayush to go with him and help his brother. Ayush tells Rishi that he got one chance but he spoilt everything.
Lakshmi remembers her father and his wish for a perfect life-partner for her. She says this was her partner who left her mid-way. She says she is very lonely and wishes her father was there with her. She wonders where she can go. She says she cannot tolerate this pain and she has no-one with her.
Rishi asks Ayush what is wrong with him. Malishka calls Rishi and tells him to deny everything and say that Lakshmi is lying. She says eventually Lakshmi will also believe this lie as she does everytime. Ayush screams at Malishka for thinking of Lakshmi as dumb. She thanks God that their marriage could not go through. Malishka says he has never understood her, as Lakshmi has made her a fool through her fake innocence. Rishi says he will disconnect her call. Rishi tells Ayush not to judge him as he would have done the same if he were in his place. Rishi says he will handle Lakshmi in his won way.
Malishka loses her calm that she could not get married to Rishi despite all her efforts. Kiran comes and is shocked to hear her. Malishka’s masi also comes there. Malishka says it was all Lakshmi’s fault, as they would have gotten married, had she not come. Malishka says she will make her a villain in front of everyone through her emotional drama.
Lakshmi thinks Rishi told her again and again that there is nothing between him and Malishka. She wanders around aimlessly thinking of Rishi.
Rishi and Ayush reach home. They go to the room to look for Lakshmi. Karishma sees them and thanks God that Rishi is safe. Virendra tries to call Lakshmi and wonders why is Lakshmi’s phone not reachable. Neelam says Lakshmi is very irresponsible and she should have called them like Rishi. Virendra says she only sent her out to look for Rishi. Neelam says Virendra always take Lakshmi’s side and everything in this house happens according to Lakshmi these days. She says Lakshmi never told anyone that she had a bad feeling and she was right to scold her in the morning.
Ayush stares at Rishi. Rishi asks him what is wrong with him. Ayush says he has too many guts to question even now. Rishi asks him not to blame him or something bad will happen. Ayush asks bad will happen to Lakshmi. Rishi says he has no time for his nonsense and goes from there.Neelam says she can scold Lakshmi just like she scolds her other kids. She asks Virendra not to make Lakshmi great as she also makes mistakes like others. Karishma tells Neelam and others that Rishi and Ayush are back. She tells them that Lakshmi is not with them.
Ayush questions Rishi what was his compulsion to marry Malishka. Rishi says he has to find Lakshmi. Ayush tells him not to show his fake concern as he did not even show enough decency to tell her himself. He asks if Lakshmi deserved to see him and Malishka getting married. Virendra hears this and slaps Rishi.
