The day starts off with Maaya telling Anupamaa all about her past that is totally laced with struggles and tribulations, but without compromising on her respect and self-respect. She also requests Anuj and Anupamaa to let her sleep with her daughter that night so that she can be the first person who the daughter sees at the dawn of her birthday. Just as when everyone expected Anupamaa to react, much to everyone’s surprise, it is Anuj who says yes! But, he makes it very clear that it's only for that night.

And when Maaya tells chhoti Anu to sleep, she says that, just like her mother Anupamaa does, she, too will lullaby her to sleep. And when chhoti Anu lullabies her to sleep, Anuj and Anupamaa see that from a distance, but choose to remain mum. Seeing them in a helpless condition, chhoti Anu sneaks away from there and goes and sleeps next to Anuj and Anupamaa in their room, much to their surprise. And when the clock strikes twelve, Anuj and Anupamaa wish chhoti Anu on her birthday. On the other hand, when Maaya opens her eyes at midnight twelve o clock, she is shocked to see that chhoti Anu is not there.
