"Good Morning Bhabhi." Shriti wished as she hugged Abhira from behind who was setting up the dinning table for breakfast.
"Good Morning Shri." Abhira wishes back kissing her forehead.
"So, kya banaya hai aapne aaj?" She asked.
"Tumhare favourite parathe, Ruhaan ke liye uski favourite puranpoli, Rohit bhaiya ke liye unki cold coffee." Abhira said.
"Kyu subah subah itni mehnat karti hai aap Bhabhi?" Shriti asked.
"Kyuki mujhe accha lagta hai." Abhira replied.
"Itna sab karne ki koi jarurat nahi hai bhabhi. Cooks hai na. Voh sab bana denge." Shriti said.
"Par mujhe khushi hoti hai jab mein khud apno ke liye kuch banati hoon," Abhira explained with a smile, continuing to set the table.
Shriti nodded, "Par aapko bhi toh araam chahiye na, bhabhi?"
"Arre, yeh mera kaam hi toh hai, aur mujhe ismein araam milta hai. Aur phir, ghar ki mahol aur pyaar toh khana banane se hi aata hai, na?" Abhira replied.
Shriti smiled, "Aap sach mein bahut achhi ho, bhabhi. I Love You So Much."
I Love You Too Shri." Abhira replied.
"Vaise Ruhaan bhai aur Ruhu kaha hai? Aur Ruhu uth gayi kya?" Shriti asked.
"Haa Ruhanika utha gayi hai. Ruhaan abhi use le kar neech aa hi raha hoga." Abhira replied.
"Good Morning my sweet ladies." Rohit wished as he entered the dinning area.
"Good Morning Bhai." Shriti wished back.
"So, aaj kya banaya hai mere liye Abhira." He asked.
"Aapke liye kuch nahi hai. Only cold coffee." She said.
Rohit chuckled, "Aaj toh bade rude ho gaye aap, Abhira."
Abhira smirked, "Tumhare hi liye special treatment nahi hota har roz, Rohit. Aaj sirf cold coffee hai."
Rohit grinned, "Achha baba, jaisa aapki marzi. Par mujhe bhi thoda special treat toh milna chahiye."
Abhira laughed, "Tum bhi na, Rohit. Thik hai, next time tumhare liye kuch special banaungi."
Shriti joined in, "Bilkul, bhabhi, Rohit bhaiya ko bhi toh thoda extra pyaar aur attention milna chahiye."
Rohit smiled, "Acha hua tum ho, Shriti, jo mere saath ho aur mujhe support karte ho."
"Kya baate ho rahi hai mere bina?" Ruhaan asked as he came down with Ruhanika in his arms.
"Mummmaaa...." Ruhanika squealed in her father's arms.
"Awllleee mere baccha. Come." Abhira forwarded her hands towards her.
Ruhanika immediately glided from Ruhaan's arms into Abhira's.
"Waah! Kya baat hai! Matlab maine Ruhu ko ready Kiya lekin mujhe pyaar milne ki jagah tumhe pyaar mil raha hai." Ruhaan said rolling his eyes.
"Maan lo Ruhaan. She loves me more than you." Abhira said with a smirk.
Abhira continued teasing Ruhaan, "Dekha Ruhaan, yeh toh proof hai ki Ruhanika mujhe zyada pyaar karti hai. Tum toh bas unko ready karke laate ho, main hoon jo unka dil jeet leti hoon."
Ruhaan mockingly sighed, "Haan haan, mujhe toh pata hi tha ki meri beti ka dil tumse juda hua hai. Ab dekho, meri mehnat ka asli phal tumhe mil raha hai."
Abhira laughed, "Arre, Ruhaan, mazak kar rahi thi main. Tum toh jaante ho na, ki Ruhanika toh tumhe bhi utna hi pyaar karti hai jitna mujhe."
Ruhaan grinned, "Haan, haan, mujhe bhi pata hai. Par tumhe dekhkar lagta hai, Ruhanika ka dil sirf tumhare liye dhadakta hai."
Abhira pretended to ponder for a moment, "Hmm, shayad sahi keh rahe ho. Lagta hai, main uski favorite ho."
Ruhaan rolled his eyes playfully, "Ab bas bhi karo, Abhira. Tum bhi na, har waqt mujhe tang karti rehti ho."
Abhira hugged Ruhanika tightly, "Chalo, chalo, ab breakfast ke liye baitho. Aur Ruhaan, tum bhi jaldi se aao. Tumhare liye bhi parathe hain."
Ruhaan chuckled, "Haan haan, abhi aaya. Par next time, mujhe bhi Ruhanika se zyada pyaar milna chahiye."
Everyone laughed as they settled down for breakfast, enjoying the warmth of their family bond.

"Maa-sa, Dadi-sa jaldi chaliye. Flight miss ho jaaegi." Armaan shouted from the hall looking at his watch.
He looked at stairs but found no one coming down.
"Papa, Maa-sa, Chachi-sa, kaha reh gaye sab? Please jaldi neeche aaiye." Armaan called again.
"Aa rahe hai, aa rahe hai." Vidya said coming down with Madhav holding suitcase.
Armaan's tension eased as he saw them coming down. "Thank goodness," he muttered under his breath, relieved that they hadn't missed their flight.
"Baaki sab kaha gaye?" He asked.
"Aa gaye, aa gaye." Manisha said as she came down with Manoj, Kiara and Aaryan.
"Dadi-sa, Dadi-sa, jaldi neeche aaiye." Armaan again shouted.
"Dadi-sa, jaldi aaiye, flight miss ho jayegi," Armaan called out anxiously.
"Arre haan, beta, hum yahi hain," Dadi-sa replied, slowly descending the stairs with Dadi-ji.
"Thank goodness, sab aa gaye," Armaan sighed in relief, as he saw them coming down.
"Haan, beta, sab tayyar hain," Dadi-sa assured him with a smile.
"Chalo jaldi, flight ka time ho raha hai," Armaan urged, hurrying them along.
Everyone looked at him confusedly that why was he so happy to go to Mumbai. It was just His Best Friend's Daughter's birthday. And he shouldn't be this happy on this.
They all hurried to catch their flight. Armaan felt excited because he was finally gonna reunite with Abhira. He will soon reach Mumbai and start his searching for Abhira.
Armaan and his family rushed to the airport. They stood in long lines for the check-in process, showing their tickets and IDs. Armaan kept checking his watch anxiously, hoping they wouldn't miss the flight.
After the check-in, they waited in the airport lounge, finding seats and chatting nervously about the upcoming journey. Armaan kept pacing around, unable to sit still, eager to reach Mumbai.
Finally, the announcement came, calling their flight number for boarding. They lined up again and showed their boarding passes, walking through the tunnel to the airplane.
Once inside, they found their seats, settling in for the flight. Armaan looked out of the window, feeling a mix of excitement and anticipation as the plane prepared for takeoff.
"Am coming Abhira. Aa raha hu mai tumhare pass. Humesha tumhe apna banane." Armaan thought in his mind with a smile.
Madhav and Vidya who were sitting beside him noticed his smile. They both looked at each other and then again at Armaan.
"Armaan, kya baat hai? Bohot khush lag rahe ho?" Vidya asked.
"Haa aur yeh khushi apne dost ki beti ki birthday mein jaane ki toh bilkul bhi nahi lag rahi hai. Koi aur hi baat hai. Kya baat hai?" Madhav asked.
"Kuch nahi Maa-sa." Armaan said with a smile.
"Koi toh baat hai Armaan. In teen saalo mein kabhi humne tujhe muskurate nahi dekha. Abhira ke jaane ke baad kabhi tune humse baat bhi nahi ki aache se. Par aaj bohot khush lag raha hai. Kya baat hai?" Vidya again questioned.
"Maine kitni baar kaha hai aapse Maa-sa. Abhira zinda hai. Aur mai jald hi use dhudh lunga." Armaan said.
"Armaan kab tak uska intezaar karega. Nahi aaegi voh. Chali gayi hai voh tujhe chod kar. Samjha ja beta." Madhav said.
"Aur aap bhi samajh lijiye ki mai jaanta hu Abhira zinda hai. Bilkul theek hai. Aur mai use bohot jald, bohot jald apne pass vaapis le aaunga." Armaan said.
"Armaan, hum samajhte hain ki tum Abhira ko bahut miss karte ho. Par kab tak intezaar karoge? Teen saal ho gaye hai, aur ab bhi koi pata nahi." Vidya said.
Madhav nodded in agreement. "Beta, hum sabko pata hai ki tumhe Abhira ki bahut yaad aati hai, par sachai se samna karna bhi zaroori hai. Abhira chali gayi hai, aur shayad woh kabhi vaapis nahi ayegi."
Armaan listened to his parents, "Maa-sa, Papa, aap dono ko kaise samjhau ki mujhe vishwas hai ki Abhira zinda hai, aur mai use jald hi dhundh lunga?" he said.
Vidya and Madhav exchanged a worried glance. "Armaan, hum samajhte hain ki tumhe vishwas hai, par yeh bahut risky ho sakta hai," Vidya said softly.
"Haan beta, hume toh bas tumhara khayal hai. Hum nahi chahte ki tum phir se hurt ho," Madhav added.
Armaan looked at his parents, "Mujhe pata hai ki yeh mushkil hoga, par mujhe apne vishwas par yaqeen hai."
Vidya reached out and took Armaan's hand in hers. "Beta, hum sirf tumhare liye chinta karte hain. Par agar tum yeh karne ka faisla kiya hai, toh hum tumhare saath hain," she said.
Madhav nodded in agreement. "Haan, beta. Hum tumhare saath hain. Bas hum chahte hain ki tum khud ko khatra mein na daalo," he said.
Armaan smiled gratefully at his parents, "Thank you, Maa-sa, Papa. Aapka saath mere liye sab kuch hai," he said.
As the plane continued its journey towards Mumbai, Armaan's mind was filled with a sense of determination and hope. He knew the road ahead would be difficult, but with the unwavering support of his family, he was ready to face whatever challenges came his way in his quest to find Abhira.
"Hey bhagwan, kaise samjhau Armaan ko ki Abhira ab kabhi uske pass vaapis nahi aaegi. Nahi rahi hai ab voh. Aur Abhira ko dhundne ke chakkar mein voh khud kitna hurt hoga, jab use pata chalega ki Abhira zinda nahi hai. Koi raasta dikhayie mujhe jisse hum Armaan ko samjha sake ki Abhira ab is duniya mein nahi hai." Madhav said in his mind.
"Kyu hume ese chod kar chali gayi Abhira. Ek mauka toh deti apni maa ko tujhse maafi maangne ka. Teen saal se Armaan ko samjha rahe hai ki tu ab humare pass kabhi nahi aaegi. Par kya pata, shayad Abhira hume dekh rahi ho, aur hamari har dua sun rahi ho. Shayad kuch aisa ho, jisse hum use feel kar sake, apne paas. Lekin ab, humein Armaan ko bhi samjhana hoga ki hume Abhira ko chhodna hoga, apni yaadon mein hi." Vidya thought as she looked at Armaan.
Tears welled up in Vidya's eyes. She knew that letting go of Abhira's memory would be the hardest thing for Armaan and for their entire family, but she also understood the importance of moving forward, of finding peace amidst the pain.
After a few hours, they finally reached Mumbai. Armaan's heart raced with anticipation as he stepped off the plane, his determination to find Abhira stronger than ever. Vidya and Madhav exchanged a silent glance, their worries still weighing heavily on their minds.
The whole Poddar family sat in the cars sent by Ruhaan and drove to Ruhaan's Mansion.
✨
"Kiska intezaar kar rahe hai aap Ruhaan Bhai?" Rohit asked he looked at Ruhaan who was continuously looking at door.
"Rohit, aaj aai baba aur dadi aane wale hai na toh unhi ka intezaar kar raha hai Ruhaan." Abhira said sitting beside Ruhaan.
"Unka toh intezaar hai hi par unke saath saath kisi aur ka bhi intezaar kar raha hu." Ruhaan said.
"Kisi aur ka? Kiska?" Rohit asked.
"Mere best friend ka." Ruhaan said with a wide smile.
Hearing this Rohit's face turned pale. His face lost It's colour.
"Be....best friend?" Rohit asked.
"Haa best friend." Ruhaan replied.
"Kahi yeh best friend Armaan Bhaiya toh nahi hai?" Rohit asked himself in his mind.
"Shayad vahi hai kyuki Armaan Bhaiya hi unke best friend hai." Rohit said in his mind.
"Umm...... Bhaiya mujhe na achanak se ek kaam yaad aa gaya hai toh mai chalta hu. Jaldi vaapis aa jaunga." Rohit said.
Before Ruhaan could say or ask something he left from there quickly. While Abhira and Ruhaan stood there confused.
"Ise kya ho gaya?" Ruhaan asked looking at his retreating figure.
"Pata nahi. "Abhira said.
"Koi baat nahi. Usne kaha hai na kaam khatam karke aa jaaega. Tum yeh batao tumhari aai baba se baat hui? Kab aa rahe hai voh log?" He asked.
"Haa aaj subah hi baat ki maine. Unhone kaha ki voh bas thodi der mein aa jaaenge. I guess shaam tak aa jaaenge." Abhira replied.
"Theek hai. Aur Ruhanika kya kar rahi hai?" He asked.
"Voh Shri ke saath hai aur so rahi hai." Abhira said.
"Bohot sone lag gayi hai meri beti aaja kal. Tumhari hi sangati ka asar hai." Ruhaan teased.
"Kya matlab hai tumhara? Mai pura din soti rehti hu?" Abhira asked glaring at him.
Ruhaan chuckled, enjoying Abhira's reaction. "Well, tumhare pass aachi neend lene ka talent hai. Jab bhi mauka mile bas so jaane ka."
Abhira rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh, please! I work hard, and a little nap here and there is just a way to recharge."
"Sure, sure, I understand. Recharging is essential for maintaining that boundless energy of yours." Ruhaan teased, grinning mischievously.
Abhira laughed, swatting his arm gently. "Stop teasing me, Ruhaan. Tum jaante ho na agar jyada hua toh mai bhi phir tumhe chodungi nahi."
"I know, I know," Ruhaan reassured her, placing a hand over his heart in mock sincerity. "I'm just teasing because you are my wife, my best friend and I love you."
Abhira smiled, shaking her head affectionately. "I love you too, you big goof."
"Vaise tumne cooks ko bol diya hai na ki jyada mehmaan hai toh khaana bhi usi hisaab se bananye?" Ruhaan asked.
"Haa maine bol diya hai." Abhira said.
"Ek kaam karo. Reema kaki ko bol do ki ghevar bana de. Kyuki mera dost aur uski puri family Rajasthan se hai. Toh unhe mithai mein Rajasthani mithai hi khilaenge." Ruhaan said.
Abhira's smile vanished hearing Rajasthan. The possibilities of Poddar family being Ruhaan's friend came through her mind.
Abhira's smile faded slightly, "meri man ka ki ko bol dungi ki vah ghevar bana de."
Ruhaan noticed the change in Abhira's demeanor, "Thanks, Abhira."
Abhira returned the smile, though her mind was still racing with questions and uncertainties about Ruhaan's friend from Rajasthan.
"Uhhh....mera phone kamre mein reh gaya hai toh mai voh le kar aati hu. Aur kapde bhi change kar leti hu. Aai baba ke saamne ese jaana theek nahi rahega." Abhira said to which Ruhaan nodded.
Abhira smiled at him and went to her room. As soon as she reached her room, she closed the door and leaned on it. She kept her hand on her heart and closed her eyes.
"Yeh kya ho raha hai aaj mujhe? Subah se bilkul aacha nahi lag raha hai. Esa lag raha hai jaise kuch hone wala hai. Upar se Ruhaan ke friends jo Rajasthan se hai, yeh sun kar aur bhi ajeeb lag raha hai. Dil ki dhadkan badh rahi hai. Kahi yeh friend Arm.... Armaan toh nahi hai. Kahi yeh sach toh nahi... Nahi, main galat soch rahi hoon. Shayad yeh bas mere dimaag ki soch hai. Abhi mere pass koi proof nahi hai. Shayad Ruhaan ka friend koi aur ho. Haan, yeh sab mere imagination ka khel hai. Main bas thoda stressed ho gayi hoon, shayad." Abhira thought in her mind.
She took a deep breath and went towards closet. She took a saree and went to washroom.
After a while she came out taking bath and wore her saree. She wore matching jewellery and bangles.
She looked at her Nupital chain and remembered her marriage with Ruhaan. She sighed and wore the nupital chain and applied vermilion. She took a bindi and applied it on her forehead.
✨
In the living hall, Ruhaan was sitting waiting for Poddar Family to reach home. He was using phone when the door bell rang. He smiled and stood up. Moving towards the door, he opened it. His smile widened seeing Armaan with his whole family.
"Armaan." Ruhaan said and hugged him.
Armaan hugged him back tightly. After a few seconds they broke the hug.
"Kaisa hai tu?" Ruhaan asked.
"Mai ekdum theek hu. Tu kaisa hai?" Armaan questioned back.
"Mai bhi theek hu." Ruhaan said.
Ruhaan glanced at everyone and moved towards Kaveri.
"Khamma Ghani Dadi-sa." He said and bend down to touch her feet.
"Ghani Khaama." She said smile and blessed him.
"Kaisi hai aap?" Ruhaan asked.
"Mai theek hu beta." Kaveri said.
After seeking blessings from Kaveri, Ruhaan turned to Madhav and Vidya, who were standing nearby.
"Namaste uncle aunty." Ruhaan greeted them with a respectful nod.
"Namaste, Ruhaan." Vidya replied warmly, smiling at him.
Ruhaan then bent down to touch their feet, seeking their blessings. "Aap kaise hain, uncle aunty?" he inquired with genuine concern.
"We are doing well, beta. Thank you for asking," Madhav replied, placing a hand on Ruhaan's shoulder. "And how have you been? Everything going well?"
Ruhaan nodded, "Yes, uncle. Everything's going smoothly. Just keeping busy with work and family."
Vidya smiled at him, "We're glad to hear that, Ruhaan. You've always been like a son to us."
"Aap sab andar aaiye na." Ruhaan said and welcomed them.
They all entered and settled down on sofa.
"Raman kaka." He called someone.
Raman came, "haa Ruhaan beta."
"Kaka, in sab ke saaman guest room mein rakhva dijiye." Ruhaan said.
Raman nodded and asked few servants to pick up all the bags.
"Armaan, jaanta hai itne saalo mein kitna miss kiya tujhe? Sirf phone pe baat karta tha. Kabhi yaha nahi aaya. Infact shaadi mein bhi nahi aaya." Ruhaan said.
"Sorry yaar. Bohot busy tha mai. Vakt hi nahi mila mujhe." Armaan said.
"Dosto ke liye vakt nikalana padta hai Mr. Poddar." Ruhaan said.
"Haan, Ruhaan, pata hai mujhe. Main sach mein bahut guilty feel karta hoon. Par aaj main yahaan hoon, aur main vaada karta hoon ki yeh galti dubara nahi hogi." Armaan said.
Ruhaan smiled understandingly, "Koi baat nahi, Armaan. Ab tu yahaan hai, yehi kaafi hai. Aur haan, agar phir se itna waqt lagaya toh main tujhe dhundh ke tujhe yahaan se nahi chhodunga." He said teasingly.
Armaan chuckled, "Bilkul, aisa kuch nahi hoga."
Ruhaan glanced at Ruhi and furrowed his eyes in confusion.
"Yeh kon hai?" Ruhaan asked looking at Ruhi.
Everyone became silent.
"Kya hua? Maine koi galat sawal puch liya kya?" Ruhaan asked nervously.
"Are nahi nahi Ruhaan. Esa nahi hai. Yeh Ruhi hai, Rohit ki wife." Manisha said.
"Kya? Rohit ne shaadi bhi kar li? Kab? Aur kaha hai voh?" Ruhaan asked.
"Umm..... voh yaha nahi aa saka kyuki use kuch jaroori kaam tha. Toh voh us kaam ko chod kar nahi aa sakta tha." Armaan replied.
Ruhaan nodded, "Oh, samajh gaya. Zaroori kaam hota hai kabhi-kabhi. Par main usse milna chahta hoon. Agar waqt mile toh mujhe bata dena, Armaan."
"Zaroor, Ruhaan. Main zaroor batata hoon." Armaan assured him.
Ruhaan smiled, "Aur haan, ab aise hi family ke saath waqt bitate raho. Yahaan ke har kone se rishtedaari hai, aur mujhe bahut khushi hoti hai jab mere friends yahaan aate hain."
Suddenly they heard a voice. Armaan's breath hitched hearing it. His heart started racing fast.
"Ruhaan" Abhira said coming from the stairs.
Abhira came towards Ruhaan and stood infront of her. She didn't looked at the guests even for once.
"Ruhaan, mera phone on nahi ho raha hai. Pata nahi kya ho gaya hai ise. Please dekhlo na ek baar." Abhira said handing her phone to him.
"Phone baad mein dekh lunga. Pehle mere friend aur uski family se toh mil lo." Ruhaan said taking her phone and keeping it in his pocket.
Abhira turned towards the Poddar's and her eyes widened in shock. Her heart started racing fast. All those bitters memories relieved in her mind.
"Ek number ki khudgarz ladki ho tum. Tumne mera bharosa toda hai, Abhira."
"Tumhari jaisi ladki mere bete ki zindagi ko barbaad kar degi. Tum mere bete ki zindagi mein aayi hi kyu."
"Yeh ghatiya ladki iske bilkul bhi layak nahi hai. Yeh humare bharose ke laayak nahi hai."
"Lawyer ke naam per ek dhabba ho tum. Sharm aati mujhe yeh kehte ki tum meri wife ho."
"Agar aaj Akshara mam yahan hoti to unhen bhi sharm aati hai kahate hue ki tum unki beti ho."
"Bojh ban chuki ho ab tum mere liye aur is parivaar ke liye bhi."
"Kya yeh hi sikhaya hai Akshara mam ne tumhe. Nahi nahi, Akshara mam toh bohot acchi thi unhone toh accha hi sikhaya hoga lekin tum hi galat raaste mein chad gayi. Aakhir ho toh ek driver ki beti hi naa."
Those hated words from Armaan and Vidya rang in her ears. Those mean words hurt Abhira a lot. They made her feel really sad and broken inside. She couldn't believe someone would say such hurtful things about her. It made her doubt herself and feel like she wasn't good enough. It felt like her heart was shattered into pieces, and she didn't know how to make it feel better. Those words had always pierced her heart whenever she would remember them.
Tears started welling up in her eyes. Her vision blurred as tears covered her eyes. Her forehead started having sweat beads. She started breathing heavily a little. She looked at Armaan who was looking at her with tears and a smile of happiness of finding her.
"Armaan." she whispered slowly not audible to anyone.
She then looked at each and every family members who were looking at her shocked. And why would they all not be shocked. Thay had assumed that she was dead but no she wasn't. She was standing fit and fine infront of them.
Abhira took a deep breath, trying to gather herself. Despite the hurtful words echoing in her mind, she knew she had to stay strong.
"Abhira, yeh mera best friend hai Armaan, Armaan Poddar." Ruhaan said pointing at Armaan.
Abhira looked at Ruhaan and than at Armaan.
"Hello Mr. P....Podd.....Poddar." Abhira stammered.
Armaan didn't say anything and just looked at her with a smile. Armaan looked mesmerized seeing her. She is now looking more beautiful than before.
Her beautiful face is glowing more. Armaan's eyes widened in admiration as he traced every delicate curve of her face, lingering on the softness of her lips, which were adorned with a subtle hint of color. She looked resplendent in her pink and white saree, the fabric draping gracefully around her figure, accentuating her natural elegance.
He was so happy to see unknown to the fact that her relationship with Ruhaan is going to leave him heartbroken.
"Aur yeh hai Armaan ki family. Uski Dadi-sa, Uski maasa papa, uske chacha chachi, Bhai behen aur uske bhai ki wife." Ruhaan said pointing at everyone.
Abhira didn't said anything. She just looked at everyone with blank expression.
"Aur Armaan, yeh meri wife hai. Abhira, Mrs. Abhira Ruhaan Mhatre." Ruhaan said wrapping his hand around Abhira's shoulder.
Abhira looked at Ruhaan and than at Armaan.
This is when Armaan's trance broke. As soon as he heard him, he looked at him in shock. His heart broke hearing it.
Armaan felt like his world had shattered into a million pieces. Hearing Ruhaan introduce Abhira as his wife felt like a stab to his heart. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. All this time, he had held on to the hope that Abhira would be there for him, but now it seemed like she belonged to someone else entirely. The shock and pain were evident on his face as he struggled to come to terms with the reality of the situation. Ruhaan's words echoed in his mind, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal and heartbreak.
"Wi...wife?" Armaan asked again in hope that Ruhaan would say it was just a prank.
"Haa wife. Teen saal pehle hi shaadi hui hai humari." Ruhaan said with a smile.
"Ye...yeh tumhari wife hai Ruhaan?" Vidya asked.
"Haa aunty. She is my wife." Ruhaan said.
Armaan looked at Abhira with teary red eyes, indicating that he was broken. His heart sank as he realized that Abhira was now Ruhaan's wife. The shock and pain were evident in his expression as he struggled to process this unexpected revelation. Abhira could see the hurt in Armaan's eyes,
Armaan's mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions. He felt betrayed, heartbroken, and utterly lost. The realization that Abhira was now married to someone else shattered his hopes and dreams of a future with her. He had held on to the belief that one day they would be together again, but now that hope seemed futile. The pain of seeing Abhira with another man was unbearable, and he struggled to come to terms with the harsh reality before him.
"Kya hua? Aap sab itne shaant kyu ho gaye? Aur aap sab aise Abhira ko kyu dekh rahe hain? Aap log use pahle se jante ho kya?" Ruhaan asked.
None of them answered. Everyone were looking at Abhira in shock. They weren't able to digest that Abhira was now married to someone else and now she wasn't wife of Armaan.
Ruhaan turned to Abhira and looked at her who was looking at everyone with blank face, "Abhira, tum to batao ki kya tum ine sabko janti ho?" Ruhaan asked.
Everyone looked at Abira again and Armaan had a hope in his heart that she will tell Ruhaan that she is his wife.
"Nahi mai inhe jaanti." Abhira said with confidence.
Everyone's heart broke hearing this. They looked at Abhira with tears.
The hope in Armaan's heart shattered like broken mirror.
"Bhabhi." Shriti said coming downstairs with Ruhanika.
