Tia tries to tell Shivay that she had no clue about what Daksh was up to. Shivay knows her lies and says that he saw the footages and he has proof against her. Shivay asks Tia to leave and never return.

Anika is drying herself when she wonders what she is doing. She thinks that she is already married to Shivay, and also her happiness is with him. She thinks that she needs to tell Shivay this.

As she runs to meet him, she bumps straight into Tia. Tia pushes her away and tells her that Shivay is hers and she will not have Anika take him away. Tia is though in for a surprise as Anika hugs her and thanks her.

Anika says that today Tia made her realise a very important fact which is that Shivay is her husband. Anika asks Tia to leave and rushes away to meet Shivay. Anika has a spring to her walk as she now knows her heart.

Om is trying to knock some sense into Shivay as he asks him why he is doing this. Shivay says that he already came in between Anika and her happiness which is Nikhil. Shivay says that he is making things right now.

Anika hears this conversation and feels sad. She wishes Shivay would also realise what she has already realised. Next day Shivay is rushing away for his meeting when Priyanka walks up to him.

He asks her to take care of the preparations while he is away. After Shivay leaves the lawyer walks in and tells Om that there is an important issue which requires urgent attention.

Later Om finds Anika and tells her that they have done something amusing with the divorce papers, and the lawyer could not help laughing. Anika takes the papers from Om and knows what she did.

She has written in it about how she trusts the institution of marriage. While Shivay in his section to sign has signed as BILLU. This gives Anika hope about their relationship and Om asks her to fight for it.
