In the Suryavanshi household,in the midst of a cozy evening, the Suryavanshi family members had gathered in the living room, all awaiting the return of Rudransh and Aarav from the office.

In a serene corner, Gayatri, was tenderly feeding her precious 4-month-old, grandson aayansh and his innocent eyes fixed on her. As she cradled him, the soft hum of conversation in the room formed a soothing backdrop.

Then, the front door swung open, and Rudransh and Aarav finally emerged, their expressions are a mix of exhaustion and relief. Rudransh, beaming at the sight of his family, straight away went to his mother, his strong arms reaching for his son Aayansh. The little one, in the middle of sipping from his bottle, was effortlessly transferred into his father's loving embrace.

A joyous symphony of giggles and baby babble filled the room as Rudransh began to play with Aayansh. The family, their initial worries forgotten, watched with smiles as father and son shared a heartwarming moment.

As the evening deepened, Aayansh eyelids grew heavy, the day's adventures taking their toll. Rudransh, ever the attentive father, gently instructed his nanny to take Aayansh and lull him to sleep. With a final loving gaze, he entrusted his son to the capable hands of the nanny.

Omkaar seized the moment to gather everyone's attention. He gestured for the family to take their seats, creating an air of anticipation in the room. As the family settled in, their maid brought water for Aarav and Rudransh, who had just returned from the office.

Curiosity got the better of Rudransh, who turned to his grandfather, Omkaar, and inquired about the purpose of the gathering. Omkaar shared a knowing look with his wife, Durga, who nodded in agreement, signaling him to proceed. With a deep breath, Omkaar began to say, "Today, Durga and I visited a nearby village for an orphanage initiative. There, I unexpectedly crossed paths with an old friend, Lakshman Verma."

Omkaar continued his story, revealing the poignant connection between their families. He explained how Lakshman's son nikunj and indrajith, had been close friends when they lived in Jaipur. However, an unfortunate and tragic accident had taken the lives of nikunj and his wife, leading to the loss of contact between the families.

The room fell silent as the weight of this unexpected reunion and the circumstances surrounding it hung in the air. The Suryavanshi family listened intently, ready to hear more of this remarkable encounter and its potential implications.

As Omkaar continued sharing the details of their encounter, he revealed that Lakshman had extended an invitation to their home. Upon accepting the invitation, they had the chance to meet Lakshman's granddaughter(nikunj daughter) Something about her had struck a chord with both Omkaar and Durga, and they found themselves instantly drawn to her.

It was at this point in the story that they dropped the surprising bombshell. With a sense of enthusiasm and hope, they disclosed that they had proposed a potential marriage between her and Rudransh. The room was filled with a mixture of emotions, from joy to excitement, especially from Gayatri, who couldn't contain her happiness at the thought of her son's future.

However, as the news settled in, a palpable tension lingered. Everyone, including the grandparents, shared an unspoken concern about how Rudransh would react to this sudden marriage proposal. The room was poised on the significant life-altering decision, and the family anxiously awaited Rudransh's response.

In a sudden turn of events, Rudransh rose from his seat, his voice filled with determination. He addressed his grandfather, Omkaar, with a heartfelt apology. "Sorry, Dadaji, but I cannot accept this marriage proposal. In fact, I've made it clear to everyone that I won't marry again. There won't be any love or marriage in my life again."

His grandmother, Durga, couldn't hide her concern and responded, "Rudra, you can't decide your whole life based on one disturbing incident. What about your son? He needs a mother's love and affection."

Rudransh, however, remained resolute in his decision. He spoke of the painful past, saying, "Dadi, I made a mistake once, and as for Aayansh, his own mother, who gave birth to him, didn't care about him. How can I accept this from an outsider? I won't believe anyone for my son. I won't marry, and that's final."

The room fell into a heavy silence, with emotions running deep. Rudransh's declaration had firmly set the course of his life, and the family grappled with the weight of his decision, especially concerning Aayansh's future.

As Gayatri broached the topic of Nitya, Rudransh's emotions intensified. He clenched his fists, memories flooding back. Despite his anger and pain, Gayatri persisted, her voice filled with concern and empathy.

"Listen to us, Rudra," Gayatri implored. "Give your life a fair chance. Think about your son. He might not understand it now, but as he grows, he'll begin to wonder about his mother. What will you tell him?"

Rudransh remained steadfast, his doubts and reservations clear. "And how can you be sure that she'll provide him with the motherly affection he needs? Mom, Vaishali, and the rest of you love him. I believe I'm enough for him, capable of fulfilling both mother and father duties, providing him with all the affection he requires."

The room was now divided, with emotions running deep on both sides of the argument. Rudransh's unwavering stance challenged the family's efforts to persuade him, leaving them in a state of tension and uncertainty.
