Katha gently cupped his face, meeting his eyes with unwavering determination. "Viaan, what happened was beyond your control. It's unfair to burden ourselves with blame. Our priority now is to focus on healing and safeguarding our family."

A moment of silence hung between them, broken by Viaan's heartfelt admission. "I just want you both to be safe. I should have seen this coming."

Katha gently wiped away a tear from Viaan's cheek. "Viaan, life's unpredictable. What really counts is that we're here for each other, facing whatever comes our way together."

As Viaan continued to tend to her, the room embraced a delicate blend of vulnerability and strength. This intimate moment unfolded as a pivotal scene, fortifying their connection and underscoring the resilience that would navigate them through the shadows looming over their lives.

While caring for Katha's wounds, Viaan spoke in a gentle tone, "I promise to safeguard you and Aarav. I'll do anything and everything to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again, sparing you from any harm."

Katha, her voice trembling, looked into his eyes. "I believe you, Viaan. Just be here with us."

In the tender embrace, seeking solace with the knowledge that Aarav had been safe at his friend's house during the attack, Viaan and Katha exchanged a glance filled with gratitude. Without uttering a word, they shared an understanding that the assault wasn't solely targeted at Katha. The weight of the situation deepened, and the collective relief over their son's well-being heightened the significance of their unity against the looming shadows.

The room pulsated with a poignant blend of gratitude and determination, reinforcing their shared commitment to shield each other from the unforeseen threats that encroached upon their lives. As they held onto each other, a silent pact formed—a resilient bond that would guide them through the challenges ahead.

The days following the attack were turbulent in their Mumbai home. Aarav, usually a bundle of energy, became withdrawn. One evening, Viaan found Aarav sitting alone in his room, tears staining his cheeks.

Viaan quietly entered the room, concern etched on his face. "Hey Batman, what's going on?"

As Aarav looked up, tears glistening in his eyes, he sought refuge in Viaan's embrace.

With a comforting hold, Viaan reassured, "It's alright, Batman. We'll get through this, and your mom is going to be just fine."

Aarav's voice trembled, his sobs revealing the depth of his fear. "I'm so scared. Why did that man hurt Mom? What if that man comes back? I don't want to lose Mom."

Viaan tenderly stroked Aarav's hair, his voice a soothing anchor. "It's okay to be scared, Batman. But you see, we're a team, and I promise, I'll do everything in my power to keep you and Mom safe. We're going to face this together, alright?"

Aarav nodded, his small frame still shaking. "I want everything to be like it was before."

Viaan sighed, realizing the impact the incident had on his son. "I wish I could make everything go back to how it was, Batman. But sometimes, things change, and we have to find a new normal. What matters most is that we're together, and we love each other."

Aarav sniffled, looking up at his dad with teary eyes. "Do you promise, Dad?"

"I promise, Batman. No matter what happens, we're a family, and families stick together. Now, let's go check on Mom, okay?"

With Viaan's reassurance, Aarav wiped away his tears and nodded. They walked hand in hand to the living room where Katha was resting. The family huddled together, finding strength in their love, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
