Later Priyanka informs Shivay that Daksh has fallen sick and might not be able to come for the pooja. Shivay says that it is critical for Daksh to attend the pooja and decides to send a doctor to attend to Daksh.

Anika thinks that there should be another way to stop Daksh. She reaches Daksh' house and sees Khanna there. Khanna is supposed to escort Daksh himself. Anika decides to drain the petrol off the car.

She hides as Daksh and Tia come out. The vehicle stops midway, and Anika is happy that her work of stalling Daksh is done. Shivay gets to know about this and suggests they take a cab.

Om worries that they might not be able to get a cab owing to the peak hours and also the rain. As the muhurath passes Anika is relieved that finally, her plan may work but as there is only 5mins left for the muhurath to end Daksh walks in and shocks Anika.

Everyone is happy to see him. It is revealed that Shivay had sent a chopper to get him. Daksh and Priyanka do the pooja. Anika thinks that she will do anything to stop the wedding now.

The engagement rings are given into Shivay's safekeeping by Dadi. Anika follows Shivay, but he soon confronts her. She lies to him and dodges him. Shivay wonders why she is acting weird.

Later he puts the ring in his cupboard. As Shivay leaves his room, Anika enters and takes the rings. She hides as Shivay enters back. She almost gets caught, but Rudra comes there in time to take Shivay away.

Dadi gives Anika her first paycheck and tells her that she knows about Anika's needs and she wants to keep her provided. Anika feels touched and decides she will not let anything wrong happen to this family because of Daksh.
