Imlie 9 February 2023: Imlie shatters remembering Aditya asking her to sign divorce papers and get out of his life forever and informing that he is going to marry Malini. She collapses. Aryan holds her and lifts her up. He says she should visit office now after a half day leave and advices her to keep her professional and personal life separate. He thinks 2 people lost everything because of Adi, one day Adi has to repay for his family and Imlie’s tears. At T house, Aparna and other knock Adi’s room door and ask him to open it. He says its between him and Imlie and they shouldn’t interfere. Aparna cries and asks Pankaj if her children will separate. Radha says Imlie has changed since she got job, she didn’t hesitate to send divorce papers to Adi. Aparna says there must be some misunderstanding.
Rupali says why should only Imlie compromise just because she is woman, she herself worked hard and is taking care of herself within a year’s span of coming from her village, they should question their son instead, its better if Imlie leaves if she has to beg for her rights after doing all this.Imlie cries remembering her happy days with T family and thinks she told she will move on, but she doesn’t have courage to move on; she is unable to tolerate this pain, then how ill she tolerate the future pain which life gave her; its better if she returns to Pagdandiya.
She imagines herself in her old avatar holding her potli/bag and entering T house. She stops her and asks not to go in as there is no love there but broken relationships and a pain of broken heart is more severe than the pain of stepping on broken glass pieces. Old Imlie says she should remember her mother’s advice to become a seed in soil and ash in air and adopt to her situation. New Imlie feels confident hearing her advice and tries to hug her but realizes its her imagination. Malini walks to her with lamp and says Aparna lit this lamp with the hope that Imlie will return, Imlie should take it along as she will never return again or else she will blow it off. Imlie takes lamp and says its Devimaa’s lamp and can never be blown off and it will brighten her life from hereon.
Malini says they tip a servant when they leave, she can take this lamp and ask for more. Imlie taunts back that she gave her happiness in charity and can ask more if she wants to. Malini gets angry and warns her to shut up. Imlie says she let her stay in this house and herself is leaving this house, she should protect her husband as there are husband thieves in this city, etc., and walks away holding lamping.
Radha says she is sure Imlie and Adi will realize their mistake and will reconcile. Aparna says they have to make Adi realize what he lost. Adi opens door and says he realized that he lost everything, but why don’t they realize it even after seeing divorce papers. Aparna says she doesn’t believe in papers. Adi takes her oath and says he will never have any relationship with Imlie hereon and hence nobody should talk about her. Aparna takes his oath that they will talk about Imlie in their house whether he likes or not.

Mithi asks if she should come there. Imlie asks her to come when she rents a house and makes all the necessary arrangements. Mithi says she is her mother and can sense her pain. Imlie cries. Mithi says she made a mistake with Dev but will not let Imlie make a mistake with Aditya; one can live without necessities but not without hope, Imlie was a hope of her life, even Imlie should dream and work hard to make it a reality. Imlie says becoming a big journalist is her dream. Mithi says she should work on her dream. Imlie says even her boss said same but was rude.

He warns secretary that he will fire her if she lets anyone in without an appointment next time and asks her to send Anu in. Anu walks in and says she is ignoring his misbehavior as she is in a hurry and asks him to cover her daughter’s wedding in his newspaper’s page 3 section and wants Imlie to cover the wedding. Aryan calls Imlie and briefs her. She asks whose wedding is it. Anu says her daughter Malini’s wedding with journalist Aditya Kumar Tripathi. Aryan if he had know she is Malini’s mother, he wouldn’t have let her in. Imlie denies to cover the story and walks away.
Anu offers Aryan 7 crores cheque and says she knows Bhaskar Times is in losses and he can over with it. He says money doesn’t matter to him. She says it matters to his news paper and walks away to think over again.Aryan walks to Imlie and keeps cheque in front of her. She asks what is it. He says its the loss newspaper would make if she doesn’t cover the story. She asks if he is heartless not to see her pain. He says she is heartbroken thinking Adi divorced her and marrying Malini after just a few days, she should fight her fear and overcome it to succeed in life, etc. She feels impressed, returns to his cabin, agrees to cover the story, keeps 1 rs on cheque and says its a shagun coin for her journey towards fighting her fear. She hopes even Aryan gets courage to face his pain and returns to her desk.

She says not in 1 dose, but slowly and if he needs instant relief, he should speak to her amma. Anu brings wedding planners for Malini and Adi’s wedding and starts her drama.
