Anupamaa: Choti Anu’s condition worsens, Anuj decides to not reveal this to Anupamaa

Anupamaa receives a message from Gurumaa, urging her to reach the gurukul promptly. She replies affirmatively and prepares to leave. Kanta assists in packing Anupama's bags and seeks Bhavesh's help in closing a suitcase. Bhavesh questions the amount of luggage, expressing concern about Anupama's ability to carry it.

Kanta acknowledges the valid point, stating that Anupamaa is burdened with overwhelming emotions, fearing that CA’s (Choti Anu) condition will overwhelm her. However, Bhavesh assures them not to worry about Anupama, confidently zips up the suitcase, and highlights the support they have from Anupama's ex-in-laws, who were once her biggest obstacles. This lightens the mood, and Kanta chuckles.

Anupamaa arrives at the gurukul, where Gurumaa instructs her to check props and accounts. Gurumaa mentions that she would have assigned this task to Nakul, but Anupama interrupts, understanding that Gurumaa wants her to be present. Gurumaa emphasizes the importance of a student never breaking their teacher's trust, to which Anupama vows to never betray her guru's trust. Anupama acknowledges her own challenging situation but affirms her determination to go at any cost.

Gurumaa warns her that when the sky beckons, the earth tries to hold them back, urging Anupama to decide whether she wants to be held back or move forward. Gurumaa reflects that she can't be certain until the flight takes off, fearing that everything might crumble. Anupama gazes at CA's prop and recollects her panic attack, her mother Maaya's apologies before her death, and Anuj's mental state. Gurumaa reminds Anupama that there are only 11 hours left until they leave for the airport.

CA's condition worsens as she repeatedly expresses feeling abandoned by her mother. Anuj and the entire Kapadia family try to console her. Adhik shares that even his mother left him when he was young. Ankush asks the doctor if CA can't be treated, but the doctor suggests that emotional support is more crucial than medication. Barkha confesses to Ankush that she may be selfish but desires for Anupama to fulfill her dreams. CA yearns for her mother's presence. The doctor recommends contacting the child's mother, as only she can comfort the child now.

Dimpy informs Vanraj that Samar has gone to Mumbai for a workshop, which infuriates Vanraj, considering Anupama's departure. Dimpy explains that their academy is struggling financially, and Samar took the opportunity to earn some money. Leela criticizes Samar's decision, leading to an argument between Dimpy and Leela. Vanraj becomes angry and warns Dimpy to respect the elders in the house. Dimpy retorts that elders should also maintain decorum.

Kinjal interrupts and informs Leela that Samar will speak with Anupama via video call, expressing his helplessness in not being able to physically be with his mother. Kinjal mentions her emotional attachment to Anupamaa, and each family member recalls how Anupamaa supported them in various situations. Leela acknowledges that everyone wants Anupamaa to go, but they worry about how they will manage without her. The family becomes emotional at the thought of parting ways with Anupama. Kinjal suggests putting on a smiling face to bid Anupamaa farewell, and Kavya decides to accompany her to the airport. Vanraj assures everyone that he will ensure nothing hinders Anupama in the remaining 9 hours.

Anupamaa assigns Nakul the task of organizing the jewelry boxes in the inventory and asks if there is any other pending work. Nakul confirms that everything else has been taken care of. Anupama checks her mobile phone and contemplates calling Anuj to inquire about CA's condition. Gurumaa notices her actions. Pakhi suggests to Anuj that they should inform Anupama about CA's deteriorating condition.

Anuj receives a message from Anupama inquiring about CA's well-being, to which he replies that she is peacefully sleeping. Anupama encourages Nakul to express any concerns he might have, as she considers him her younger brother. Nakul expresses his worry about Anupama living peacefully in the USA while CA's condition is unstable. Anupama acknowledges his concern, admitting that it's challenging to live without family at her age but reassures him that she will manage. Nakul promises to support her as her younger brother and suggests they pack their belongings quickly, as they only have 7 hours left to reach the airport.

Precap: CA cries, feeling abandoned by her mother. Anuj breaks down witnessing CA's condition. Adhik suggests informing Anupama about CA's condition, but Anuj insists he doesn't want to be an obstacle for her.
