43. Savi-Asmita Join Hands

                                    

                                          

On their way back, Ishaan notices Savi lost in thought and asks if she's worried about the biker's accusations. He reassures her, saying that he's confident someone else is behind this and won't let anything happen to his family. Savi shares her doubts, wondering how AS calling Isha to the temple, then defending the biker, could be mere coincidence.
Ishaan shouts, asking if she's implying that AS wanted to harm Isha and if she believes the biker's words. Savi calmly replies that she doesn't fully believe it but also can't confidently claim AS's innocence. Ishaan, frustrated, asks how she could suspect AS when she couldn't even believe Nishikant's guilt with proper evidence. He demands a reason why AS would do this, and Savi admits she can't find one.
Ishaan tells her to stop overthinking and reminds her that even if God said AS could do such a thing, he wouldn't believe it. He pleads with her not to say things he can't bear and that might make him lose control. Shantanu overhears their conversation and starts to ponder the events of the day of Isha's accident.
On the same day they reach Pune, Ishaan receives a call from the police, informing him that the biker is steadfast in his accusations against AS. Ishaan flatly refuses to believe the claims, but the police inform him that they are obligated to act and will take AS into custody for questioning. Panicking, Ishaan rushes out, leaving Shantanu and Savi behind.
Shantanu takes this moment to share with Savi that he overheard their earlier conversation. Though it's hard for him to believe AS would do such a thing, he admits that her reasoning makes sense. He advises her not to discuss it with Ishaan without solid proof, as he doesn't want them to fight over suspicions. Savi agrees to him.
Meanwhile, at BM, the police arrive and inform RS about the biker's accusations against AS. RS, furious, demands to know how they dare accuse his wife, while AS is shocked by the revelation. The police officer explains that they need to take AS to the station for questioning and that they must follow protocol. As they move to arrest her, AS collapses with chest pain. Shikha and Chinmay help her sit down and give her water, while RS panics.
At that moment, Ishaan bursts in, declaring that no one will arrest AS while he is there. He hands the officer anticipatory bail papers, prompting the police to leave. Ishaan rushes to AS, assuring her that he doesn't believe the accusations and wouldn't even if God himself said they were true. He promises her that no one will take her to jail and that he will prove her innocence. RS's eyes well up with tears at this display of loyalty.
AS, relieved, asks Ishaan when he returned and says she missed him. She expresses her confidence that with him back, nothing bad will happen to her. Ishaan then turns to RS, acknowledging their differences but affirming that the family still belongs to him, and he won't let anything happen to any of them. He also shares his belief that Nishikant might be innocent, and that the same person could be framing him. Ishaan urges RS to call Nishikant and his family back to BM, emphasizing the importance of family support during such times.
Meanwhile, as Savi ponders over how to uncover the truth, Ishaan returns home. Shantanu queries him for an update, and Ishaan reveals that he prevented AS from being arrested by securing anticipatory bail for her. However, he expresses his determination to clear her name and find the truth. Ishaan mentions suggesting to RS that Nishikant and his family should return, and he received a text from Chinmay confirming that Nishikant agreed to come back upon RS's request, showing trust in him.
Upon hearing that Nishikant and his family are returning to BM, Savi feels she has an idea. 
Savi seeks Shantanu's help and asks him to inform at BM that she's organizing a Puja at their house in Isha's name for her speedy recovery. Curious, Shantanu asks Savi about her plan, and she confides that she intends to use this opportunity to speak with Asmita. Shantanu extends an invitation to everyone at BM.
Meanwhile, AS contemplates whether to attend. She realizes that if she shows interest now, it might raise suspicion from Savi and Shantanu, who would question her sudden concern for Isha's recovery. However, AS decides to permit Asmita to attend, stating that she also wishes for Isha's swift recovery. 
Savi seizes an opportunity to have a private conversation with Asmita and opens up about all her suspicions regarding AS. Asmita, echoing Shantanu's concerns, listens attentively. Savi clarifies that she isn't making accusations against AS but is seeking answers to her doubts. She expresses her hope that her concerns are unfounded, knowing how significant AS is to Ishaan.
Asmita agrees to assist Savi and Savi asks her to relay to AS that the doctor has predicted Isha will regain her ability to speak and move within two months, emphasizing that this could happen at any time. She requests Asmita to observe AS's reaction closely. Savi stresses the importance of continued observation, even if AS doesn't initially react suspiciously.
Additionally, Savi teaches Asmita some coded phrases they can use to discreetly communicate messages during their investigation, ensuring they don't arouse suspicion from others.
