The Second Chance

Heartfelt Decisions

The episode begins with Abhay talking to Kiran about Palki's efforts to convince Viraj to marry Kriti. He explains that Palki has managed to get Viraj on board, and now it’s up to Kriti to agree. "Let’s hope Kriti agrees," he says, hopeful about the alliance.

Kiran, however, remains skeptical. "She will not agree," she replies, her voice laced with doubt.

Abhay reassures her, "If she doesn't, Palki will talk to her. I’m sure of it. Palki believes that this is the right match." He continues, "And don’t forget, Palki also believes that this pair is a good one."

Kiran looks uncertain, and as Abhay’s words sink in, she thinks to herself, Thank God I didn’t tell him that Kriti has already agreed. She might back out anyway.

Abhay notices her hesitation and asks, "Are you not happy with this alliance?"

Kiran, with a sigh, admits, "Kriti loves Shaurya."

Abhay raises an eyebrow, "He’s Palki’s husband. He’s not going to come back to her."

"Who says that?" Kiran responds quickly.

"I do," Abhay states firmly, as if declaring an undeniable truth.

Kiran shakes her head, irritated. "So you’re willing to ruin Kriti’s life as well after ruining mine?" She pauses, her voice softening, "There’s a difference between Kriti and me. She gets what she wants, but I... I’ve sacrificed enough."

Abhay, unfazed, responds coldly, "It’s not a difference, Kiran, but a similarity. You’ve ruined your own life, and I’ve moved on. Kriti, however, wanted the same thing with Shaurya. But thanks to Palki, Shaurya’s life is now in order, and he’ll be happy."

Kiran stands there, stunned by his words. "You’re thinking badly of your daughter," she says, her voice breaking.

Abhay softens a little, "When Kriti told me she loved Shaurya, I prayed that the truth would come out. That way, at least one couple in this family could be happy. Whether it’s Shaurya-Kriti or Shaurya-Palki, I don’t mind." He adds, "I met Palki, and I prayed that nothing wrong happens to her. She deserves happiness."

He concludes, "Kriti will agree to marry Viraj. I have no doubt about it."

Kiran, overwhelmed, tells Abhay, "I’m going to wait with Viraj’s Dada ji and get everything sorted out." She turns to leave, and Abhay prays silently, hoping that everyone finds the right path.

Palki approaches Shaurya, confused. "Why didn’t you tell me?" she asks, her voice soft.

Kriti, who’s sitting nearby, speaks up, "It’s good you found out everything. I didn’t want to keep secrets."

Shaurya sighs, "I’m sorry. I didn’t want to hide things from you."

Palki, though, seems unfazed. "What’s the big deal if you hide things? I’m happy you’re okay with this alliance," she says casually.

She turns to Kriti and adds, "I know what’s going on here."

Shaurya, curious, asks, "What do you mean?"

Palki turns to Kriti and says, "Don’t just show your happiness to Shaurya. Share it with everyone!" She winks, teasing her.

Viraj, eager for answers, asks, "What’s the news?"

Palki, with a smirk, replies, "Ask Kriti."

Kriti hesitates, and Viraj nervously asks, "What’s your answer?"

Kriti, still unsure, says, "You told Dadu what I said, right?"

Palki nudges her, "Tell them what you told Shaurya."
