Rani clutches her stomach in pain, whispering to her unborn child: “We have to stay strong together.” She wipes her tears, determined not to surrender.
Divijay rushes to comfort her, but Rani pushes him away. “Do you even love me?” she asks bluntly. When he stays silent, she confesses he was her first love. Divijay recalls their whirlwind romance – how she crashed into his life like a storm, leaving him no time to think. “I don’t know what I feel,” he admits honestly. Rani, heartbroken, tells him to leave if he feels nothing. As she sobs, Alisha calls repeatedly. Divijay finally answers, warning her to stop interfering when she demands Rani be punished. “We’ll talk at the hospital tomorrow,” he says firmly. Unbeknownst to him, Alisha schemes with Kavita to get Rani expelled at the disciplinary meeting. Overwhelmed, Rani freezes until Madhuri and Devu arrive, giving her hope.
While cleaning Divijay’s scattered clothes, Rani finds an unfamiliar watch. “You never wear watches,” she confronts him. Divijay snatches it back without explanation. “From Alisha?” Rani asks pointedly. His evasive response confirms her fears. “You married me but never stopped loving her!” she accuses. Divijay claims he rejected the gift, but Rani’s trust is shattered. “I fell for a man with no heart,” she whispers.
Meanwhile, Baa prays for Narayani to see reason before Rani causes more trouble. She warns Divijay not to support Rani. “I won’t,” he promises, prompting Rani to declare she needs no help. “Let’s see how you handle college alone,” Divijay challenges.
At college, reporters swarm Rani – “Will they declare you guilty today?” Baa tells Narayani to watch Rani’s next move. Ishaan gathers everyone as news breaks about Rani’s unauthorized operation. Narayani fumes seeing Rani trapped by media. When Ishaan calls Divijay, cameras suddenly catch him entering campus – shocking everyone, especially Rani.
