Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Armaan leaves Abhira alone, sleeps in another room with Pookie

In tonight's Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Armaan tells Abhira to rest while he chooses to sleep in guest room with Pookie. As Abhira dozes off, her thoughts remain fixated on the baby. Meanwhile, the Poddar family starts making plans for an outing with Pookie, leaving Abhira feeling sidelined. When Kaveri sees her alone, she questions the reason. Abhira explains that she's unwell, and Armaan asked her to stay away. But Kaveri isn't convinced and claims that Abhira doesn't appear to have a viral infection.

Soon after, the Goenka family arrives with a bus, ready for a vacation. Armaan expresses his wish to make Pookie's first trip memorable. Kaveri checks in with Ruhi, who says she's managing fine. Kaveri confides that she misses Daksh and encourages Ruhi to help Abhira realise the importance of voicing her feelings instead of always staying quiet.

As excitement builds, Armaan takes Pookie from Vidya, but when she unintentionally touches Pookie's belongings, he loses his temper. Vidya is taken aback by his sudden outburst. Armaan then instructs everyone to board the bus. Sanjay quickly grabs the front seat, and the rest of the family settles in.

Armaan signals the driver to begin the journey. Abhira, feeling neglected, is hurt that Armaan didn't even notice she wasn't initially on board. When she confronts him, he brushes it off with a weak excuse. Left with no choice, she sits next to Sanjay. The atmosphere lightens as everyone starts singing, but Armaan abruptly tells them to stop, saying Pookie is being disturbed. Kaveri questions how he knows that, to which Armaan claims Pookie is crying, but Kaveri points out that the baby seems quite happy.

Manish steps in to lift the mood and starts dancing with Pookie, but Armaan immediately pulls her away, unwilling to let anyone else hold her.

Ruhi notices Abhira watching Pookie through the camera and urges her to take a stand before Armaan's obsession grows out of hand. She warns that his excessive attachment to Pookie is becoming unhealthy.

As the Poddars try to enjoy the trip, Armaan continues to keep Pookie away from Abhira. When it's time for a diaper change, he hands the task to Vidya. In the process, Vidya discovers that their former caretaker is following them, but she decides not to inform Abhira.

Abhira tries to be near Pookie, but Armaan keeps interrupting her every effort. Eventually, she ends up sitting by herself, feeling increasingly isolated. Ruhi again speaks to Armaan, urging him to think about Abhira's feelings and responsibilities as a mother. However, Armaan insists that his focus is solely on Pookie's well-being, saying the baby needs more attention.

Later, Abhira has a terrifying dream in which Pookie is kidnapped. Startled, she wakes up, deeply anxious about the child's safety and rushes to embrace Pookie, determined not to let anything come between her and her daughter again.
