This is fate 1 December 2023: Rakhi and Mahesh are waiting when the doorbell rings, Mahesh goes to open it mentioning that Rishab and Preeta might have returned, Shristhi notices Rakhi is worried so asks what has happened, she exclaims it is Karan but Mahesh opening the door is stunned to see Arjun standing there, Anjali coming mention that she was not able to get a parking due to the reporters, Mahesh questions what is he doing here, Arjun informs he only wants to see kavya, Mahesh replies she is asleep however Arjun assures he would not disturb Kavya, Rakhi allows Arjun to see kavya, he running towards her appreciates the good gesture.
Janki brings the medicine for bi jee, saying if she doesnot it on time then will get ill, she must not take any sort of tension for Kavya since she is perfectly fine. Bi jee answers the call of Preeta explaining she is glad because even when Janki was giving her all the information, she says that Rishab jee asked her to inform them all, Bi jee instructs her to put the phone on speaker when Rishab greets her, she starts praising about Arjun and how he was really brave to protect Kavya, Preeta gets angry questioning what is she saying since everything that happened was because of him so sometimes what can be seen is not actually the truth, she explains she doesnot even talk about him when Bi jee questions her if she has done anything against him, Rishab at once explains nothing more has happened when the entire situation has finished so they all just want to meet her, Preeta asks why did he lie to her so Rishab replies it is not a lie but just their concern for her and everything done for the protection of their family can never be wrong.
Shristhi opens the door to Kavya’s room, Arjun rushes to stand by her side while she is sleeping, he starts showering his love on her, Arjun slowly picks her hand in his arms thinking of the moment when he saved her, Arjun thinks her hands are just like his, even the attitude is like his since she is his daughter and a part of his life, Arjun gets emotional recalling all of the moments when she was with him, how she assured she will never be scared when he and her mother is around her. Shristhi wonders why he is crying like this since this behavior is just like that of Preeta di. Anjali thinks she can understand his feelings because he has been forced to stay away from his own daughter for so long, she touches him from behind so Arjun after kissing Kavya gets up to leave, he thanks Shristhi before walking away.
Arjun slowly is walking out praising to Bhagwan for making sure that nothing happened to kavya, and she is safe, he sits on the sofa and starts crying, Anjali assures Arjun that Kavya is fine and nothing has happened to her, Shristhi doesnot understand why does he have so much attachment to Kavya. Sameer walking down the stairs questions Shristhi what has happened to him, she replies she never thought he would be like this since she heard he is very rude but why is he behaving like this for Kavya. Sameer mentions he was never able to understand him since he is unpredictable.
Anjali requests Arjun to stop crying because she would not be able to wipe off his tears and if she does it then people would think she is trying to impress him when it is not the case, Shristhi however is furious so tells Sameer that she doesnot like it when Anjali goes near him, Sameer questions what problem they have since it is their lives. Shristhi replies that it is not like she is worried for him but that she feels bad for him, and only hates him because he has caused a lot of pain to her sister, Sameer gets angry, she clarifies she meant she just wants to wish him the best of luck.
Arjun gets up to leave when Sameer calls him from behind, he asks what has happened referring to him as Sammy when Sameer says he should be only referred to as Sameer, Arjun asks what happened so Sameer shows him the photos of their family, asking what they were doing in his house. Arjun replies that he feels that there has been a theft from his house so this is his only answer.
Shristhi is looking at the photos when she sees Preeta and Rishab coming so requests Sameer to not talk about these photos, Preeta asks if Kavya is fine when Sameer assures, she is sleeping but Arjun came to meet her, Preeta gets furious so leaves angrily, Rishab also follows her.
Arjun in the house is thinking how Preeta warned him to stay away from her daughter and she was also against him when he tried to help them in removing the bomb. Anjali brings the medical box asking Arjun to sit down since the doctor is coming, she informs how she feels it is time for her to return to London, Arjun asks her to not even think about it, since he will not let her go because he needs her help, she asks when he needs her help, he replies whenever he makes any mistake. Anjali questions if he thinks she has stayed back to watch him fail because he does alt for the Luthra’s but they keep disrespecting him, Arjun replies she is his daughter, today he held her hand so felt that she is a copy of him, he wants to spend more time with her and today understood how parents have so unconditional love for their children because he has the same feeling today. The worker comes informing Preeta mam has come, Arjun is shocked but then asks him to ask her for the drinks meanwhile he comes after changing. Anjali is worried why did Preeta come at this time, Arjun replies because she might be feeling sorry for her behavior so came to apologize, she is worried thinking it feels something very wrong is about to happen.
Prithvi is eating the food when he enjoys it exclaiming he wants to kiss her hand because of the food which she makes, he instructs her to bring some more when she asks if she should bring poison for him since he always acts as if it something very big and even today she was standing at the school for so long but nothing happened, Prithvi asks who said she must come to the school and remain standing there when she could have watched it from the house, she is however now complaining. Prithvi leaves saying he can himself take the food, Sherlin mentions he would not even let her play a game, Prithvi asks if she is playing with him when she replies she was playing on the mobile since not everything is about him. Prithvi exclaims she has even snatched his place but he can sit somewhere else because they should feed others when they are eating.
Arjun comes out while Rishab and Preeta are standing, Arjun offers them to sit down when he even orders tea but she replies she doesnot want it, Arjun says to Rishab they both should talk because he doesnot understand anything that Preeta is saying because she has something else in her mind and heart, Preeta hands him a restraining order mentioning she filed it against Arjun because he is a danger to her daughter and she cannot risk the life of her daughter, Preeta informs she di this because he refused to pay importance to her warnings so now she feels he will accept the instructions of the court. Arjun is tensed while Preeta is furious.
Bani Dadi comes to Rakhi asking what has happened to her since she seems a little tensed Rkahi replies she is thinking how tensed Preeta got after what happened to Kavya, Dadi says even Rishab was worried, Rakhi agrees replying they both have the right since they are the parents of Kavya but what about Arjun because she saw the care he had for kavya so knows he really loves her, Dadi also likes Arjun a lot, Rakhi replies but Preeta hates him because she thinks he is the one behind everything what happened tonight, Dadi mentions that Arjun is really brave and had he not taken the bomb away it will be a really big problem. Dadi exclaims even then none of them can do anything so there is no reason to think about it, Rakhi and Dadi hug each other.
Arjun replies he has not given Raja any sort of money to harm kavya, Preeta replies even then he has some sort of problem of Raja because of which he tried to harm kavya, Arjun says he will surely meet Kavya but Preeta questions what relation does he have with her, she felt Arjun would accept her advice but since he is not ready to listen then she has filed the restraining order and will surely make it permanent so he must not force her, Arjun replies he will meet Kavya since no one can force him to stay away from his daughter, Preeta questions what is he saying since she feels even if they have lost their mental state it is not good. Preeta leaves with Rishab mentioning she doesnot care if he accepts it but she is not responsible if he is arrested or ends up in a lockup.
Preeta walking with Rishab explains that she knows he would be angry with her since she filed the restraining order, Rishab asks why she thinks like this since he knows she would always make the right decision for Kavya as she is her daughter, Rishab requests her to not make him lie anymore, Preeta is stunned asking when she do it, he reveals when they were talking to Bi jee. Rishab mentions he is proud with her because of how she handled the situation, Preeta smiles mentioning even she is proud as he always supports her in each decision.

Rishab enters the room when he sees Preeta standing in front of him, Rishab asks what has happened and is there which she wants to talk with him about, Preeta informs how she wants to sleep with Kavya tonight after all that has happened today so she feels like staying with her daughter, Rishab assures she doesnot have to ask any questions since this house still belongs to her, Rishab sitting thinks that Arjun has harmed Preeta to the extent that she has lost all of the patience in her life, but if he does anything of the sort ever again then would pay the price.Arjun is standing when he sees Preeta in front of him so asks her why has she not been able to understand who he actually is and the feelings which they both have for each other, he forces her to explain who she thinks he is, Preeta hugs him tightly mentioning she knows he is karan but then Rishab comes to separate them both, Arjun wakes up and starts screaming demanding Rishab should let go of Preeta since she is his wife and love, Anjali rushes into the room questioning what has happened since there is no one here, he apologizes asking her to go back and sleep since he is fine.
Arjun staring at the photos of Preeta thinks of all the moments when she humiliated him and how she also slapped him during the party, he thinks how he prays that she doesnot see his bad side but he feels she believes even whatever he does for their betterment is wrong.
