The episode centers on Seher’s attempt to restart the family business, only to realize that the foundation of their wealth was built on a lie.
The Business Reopening
The episode begins with a small celebration. Seher has finally managed to clear the legal hurdles to reopen her father’s traditional weaving workshop. The atmosphere is festive, with the workers returning after months of uncertainty. Seher delivers an inspiring speech about dignity and hard work, which wins over even the most skeptical members of the local trade union.
The Mysterious Ledger
While organizing her father’s old office, Seher discovers a hidden compartment in a wooden desk. Inside, she finds a dusty ledger from twenty years ago. As she flips through the pages, her smile fades. The ledger reveals that her father didn’t build the business alone; he had a silent partner who was cheated out of his shares. To her horror, the partner’s name is Vikram, the father of the man she is currently falling in love with.
Ayan’s Proposal and the Conflict
Ayan arrives at the workshop with a bouquet of flowers and a plan to propose. He sees Seher’s pale face and assumes she is just overwhelmed by the day’s success. Before he can speak, Seher confronts him—not with anger, but with the ledger. She asks him if he knew about the history between their families. Ayan is genuinely confused, as his father had always told him their poverty was due to “bad luck,” never mentioning Seher’s family.
The Shadow of the Past
The climax occurs when Vikram (Ayan’s father) enters the workshop. Seeing the ledger in Seher’s hand, the decades of suppressed resentment boil over. He reveals that he didn’t want Ayan to be near Seher not because of her status, but because looking at her family reminded him of the betrayal that ruined his life. He demands that Seher hand over the workshop as “interest” for the years of suffering he endured.
