Tanya Tries to Convince Shivansh
Tanya went to Shivansh and asked him to come along, but he wasn’t ready. He said he didn’t want to hear anything against Prarthna because she had always cared for him and even saved his life many times. He called her a good soul who only thought about others. Still, Tanya insisted he should see the truth for himself. Shivansh confessed that Prarthna had divorced him only because she thought she was bad luck for him, and he called her foolish for sacrificing their relationship.

A Painful Confrontation
At the house, Bua Maa continued accusing Prarthna of greed. When Shivansh finally saw Prarthna, his heart melted instantly. They shared an emotional eyelock, and Shivansh lovingly held her face. But Bua Maa interfered and pushed Prarthna away. Shivansh reminded her that he had always wanted Prarthna to stay with him, and now that she had returned, he was overjoyed. However, Bua Maa accused Prarthna of refusing divorce only for money. Shivansh was shaken when Prarthna herself admitted to the alimony demand.
Shivansh’s Hurt and Seema’s Anger
Shivansh asked to speak to Prarthna privately, but Seema tried to stop him. He calmly told her that he respected her but wouldn’t let anger spoil his words. He then questioned Prarthna — had she really come back just for money? His pain was clear as he said he could give away his wealth and even his life if she wanted, but he only wished to hear her say that she didn’t need money. Seema interrupted, accusing Shivansh of never fulfilling his duty as a husband.
Prarthna’s Real Reason (Flashback)
A flashback revealed the truth behind Prarthna’s decision. She once woke up frightened from a dream and confessed to Seema that she deeply loved Shivansh but had divorced him because she feared for his life. She had overheard Bua Maa and a pandit talking about a dangerous prediction regarding Shivansh. To protect him, she silently chose separation.
Seema, filled with regret and love for Prarthna, supported her like a true mother. She told Prarthna that she had raised her like her own daughter and wanted her to fight for her marriage. Seema’s plan of demanding alimony was only to ensure Prarthna stayed with Shivansh and claimed her rights as his wife. She believed Prarthna’s destiny was strong enough to protect Shivansh’s life and bring prosperity to his world. The flashback ended with both women in tears.
