Anu walks into the office with a joy she can hardly contain. As soon as she steps onto the familiar floor, old memories stop her in her tracks. She takes a deep breath, letting the emotions she has held back wash over her. Everything around her looks unchanged, yet everything feels new—because this time, she isn’t returning as someone trying to prove her worth, but as the new head of Rajnandini Sarees.

Bharadwaj greets her with warmth and informs her that Arya himself has entrusted her with the leadership. He also reminds her that the responsibilities ahead are heavier than before, but Anu faces it with the confidence of someone who has earned every bit of her success.

At the Vardhan mansion, Gayatri meets Arya and gently nudges him toward a decision he has been avoiding. She speaks of Meera’s long-standing contribution to the company, of the years she spent helping it grow, and how her absence is already affecting the workplace. Gayatri tells him that while Meera did make a mistake, her dedication shouldn’t be erased in a moment of anger. She warns that if he doesn’t act soon, the situation at the office could spiral. Arya realises she’s right, and Gayatri tells him clearly—the only solution is for him to personally bring Meera back.

Meanwhile, at the office, Anu meets Jhende and mentions that she would like to see Arya before starting her work. Jhende smiles and reveals that Arya is not in his cabin. Curious, Anu wonders where he has gone. Jhende hints that Arya is exactly where he needs to be, leaving Anu puzzled but she chooses to focus on her new role.

Settling into her position, Anu remains unaware that Arya is at Meera’s home, hoping to repair a strained professional relationship. Meera, on the other hand, secretly watches Anu’s growing importance with a mix of jealousy and fear, sensing that the balance of power at the office is shifting.

Arya arrives at Meera’s house with a heavy heart. Meera, still emotional and visibly hurt, tries to appear strong as she reminds him of her years of loyalty and hard work. She plays on his emotions, knowing it will move him. Arya requests her to return to the office. After expressing the depth of her disappointment, Meera agrees.

A new day brings a turning point for all three—Anu steps into her biggest responsibility yet, Arya takes a crucial step toward restoring stability, and Meera silently prepares herself for the storm she feels rising.
