Pandya Store: Chiku asks Isha to accompany him

Tonight's Pandya Store episode begins with an NGO worker escaping from Natasha (Priyanshi Yadav) in an autorickshaw before Natasha can apprehend her. Meanwhile, Dhawal (Rohit Chandel) is riding his bike on the road. Natasha is desperate to reach the girl, but Dhawal notices her and loses balance, falling on the road. Natasha rushes to help him, but he refuses her assistance, stating that she did something wrong. Natasha insists she is innocent, but Dhawal reminds her that all the evidence is against her. In response, Natasha promises to provide proof of her innocence and acknowledges that she doesn't expect him to trust her.

Chiku tells Suman about a girl who had an accident, and out of compassion, he admitted her to the hospital. He learns she's an orphan like him and requests some Khichdi for her. Suman becomes emotional and questions Chiku about being an orphan when he has a grandmother, two brothers, and a sister. Chiku apologizes, clarifying that the girl is the orphan, not him. Suman packs Khichdi in a tiffin and hands it to him. After he leaves, she instructs Sesh and Mithu to go to the hospital to learn more about the girl.

Natasha, walking on the road, becomes a target for harassment by some guys. Dhawal intervenes and suggests they go home as it's getting late. Natasha, however, insists on finding proof of her innocence before leaving. Dhawal fights with the guys harassing Natasha and gets injured in the process. Natasha watches as Dhawal takes her to his bike, holds her hand, and insists that she not test his patience. Eventually, Natasha sits behind him, and they head home.

Isha informs a doctor that she's not feeling well and requests to stay admitted for a few days. She spots Chiku and thinks that he is not heartless for helping her. Chiku encourages Isha to eat Khichdi, but she declines, claiming she doesn't feel like eating, and the doctor suggests discharging her. Chiku urges her to eat and stops making faces. Amba questions Dhawal about his injuries and blames Natasha for them. In his room, Dhawal searches for ointment, and Natasha remarks that some wounds can't be healed with ointment. She then leaves the room, while Amba believes that now everyone in the house hates Natasha.

Chiku feeds Isha herself, with Mithu and Sesh observing from outside. He introduces himself as Yashodhan Pandya, and Isha simply identifies herself as Isha, as there's no point in adding a family name from those who abandoned her. Natasha pushes Dhawal onto the bed, sits on top of him, unbuttons his shirt, and applies ointment to his wounds. Chiku gets Isha discharged from the hospital and hands her some medication. Isha pretends to feel dizzy to ensure Chiku doesn't leave her alone. She asks Chiku to drop her off at the railway station or bus stand, but he suggests going to her house instead. Meanwhile, Natasha offers coffee to Dhawal, but he insists that she must first prove herself. The episode ends with Natasha determined to do just that.

Precap: Natasha will remind Amresh that Pandya store is now all his, and she cannot run her DaMa's household with the money he's given her, so she needs to find a job. Amresh firmly rejects the idea, while the Makwanas observe their argument.
