Upon entering the mansion, my eyes immediately fell upon Bhai and Mish. Their presence brought a sense of relief amidst the chaos that seemed to surround us. I needed them now more than ever. As Aashu caught sight of me, she dashed towards me.
"Laddoo! Laddoo!" I dropped to my knees, enveloping her in a tight hug.
"Oh, my baby, I've missed you so much," I whispered, peppering her face with kisses as she returned the gesture, planting soft kisses on my cheeks.
"Aalu, Mish, Laddoo," she giggled, and I couldn't help but chuckle at her innocence. How I longed for these moments.
"Meri totali," I said, gently pinching her cheeks before lifting her into my arms. As she glanced beside me, her eyes lit up at the sight of Rajveer, who smiled warmly at her.
"Sunny!" she exclaimed, and my heart skipped a beat. I look at him and he is looking ta puzzled.
"No, baby, he's not our Sunny. Come," I redirected her attention, leading her inside. Ignoring the curious looks, I approached Bhai first, whispering urgently in his ear, "Don't say anything." His expression potray his shock, and I repeated the gesture with Di, conveying the same message.
"Accha hua tum bacche agayee, hum abhi call hi karne vale the," Prithvi Uncle said.
"Abeer beta tumne puri family se mil hi liye, inse milo, mera beta Rajveer, Suhani meri beti, aur Shantanu ka beta Vikram." Bhai's eyes widened in disbelief, silently questioning me. With a subtle nod, I confirmed his unspoken inquiry, knowing that one word from him and I am going to have breakdown.

We went into my room. "Doll," That was it for me before hugging him tightly and starting to cry."Shh, Doll, don't cry. I'm here now, everything will be okay. Shh, calm down," he said, stroking my head gently.
"B-Bhai, m-mai.." I tried to speak, but my voice failed me.
"Shh, shaant ho ja. Yahan baith," he guided me to the bed, wiping away my tears softly. Then he kissed my forehead and hugged me again.
"Okay, no more tears. Now tell me everything," he encouraged, and I told him everything from when I arrived until now.
"Toh matlab woh Bhai nahi hain," Di said, looking disappointed. I nodded in agreement.
"Par yeh kaise ho sakta? Yeh hubahu Karan ke jaise kaise dikh sakta hai?" Bhai wondered aloud.
"Mujhe nahi pata, Bhai. Par yeh Rajveer Singh hai, Prithvi Uncle ka beta. Yeh mera Sunny nahi hai," I insisted, though Bhai seemed unsure. Before he could say anything, Di asked me a question.
"Teju, tum itni sure kaise ho?" she asked.
"Mujhe nahi pata, Di. Kabhi kabhi lagta hai jaise yeh Sunny ho. I've noticed the way he acts, talks, it's all like Sunny's. Even today, I felt it. But then I remember he's Prithvi Uncle's son, and I'm left confused. And, Bhai, he's already engaged," I confessed, resting my head in Di's lap.
