After listening to their past, it was clear that the story had touched us all deeply, as tears were visible in everyone's eyes. I watched the three of them—Ruhanika and Shristi were shedding tears, reminiscing about their sad and happy moments simultaneously. But a question lingered in my mind: Where did Abhimaan come into this sweet little moment? I felt grateful to my Rooh; if she hadn't been there, they would have hurt my baby brother and blamed him for something he didn't do. My thoughts were interrupted by Dadu's voice.

"Thank you, beta, for saving our Vivaan from their clutches," Dadu said.

"Dadu, why are you thanking me? Vivaan is like my little brother. You all know that the Mittal family is my adopted family. They never really cared about or loved me. When I met these two, I found my solace in them. I was just a 22-year-old girl looking for love and care. And then I met them. It's my pleasure, Dadu; if I can do something for them again, I will. You're all my family, right?" Rooh spoke in a soft and hesitant voice.

"Yes, you are our family, beta," Dad affirmed.

"But I want to know one thing—where did Abhimaan come from? How did you know about their meeting, and how do you remember the exact date?" I asked, curious.

"Bhai, I was there that day too. I saw things I shouldn't have. After dropping Shristi off, I was standing with Vivaan and saw how those girls were fighting with her. Before I could intervene, I got your call and went outside the café," Maan began to explain.

He continued, "When I returned, I overheard people talking about how a random girl saved a 15-year-old boy from getting beaten up for something he didn't do, and how cheap those 11-year-old girls were. Before I could fully grasp what they were saying, I saw three people sitting in a corner—Vivaan was getting first aid from a girl. At first, I thought about going over, but then I decided against it. As I was about to enter the café, she closed the door, telling me her brother was hurt and she was closing the café to take care of her siblings."

"I just sat in the car, waiting. They both came out after a few hours, and then we came here. You all know what happened next; Mom gave us a long lecture about getting involved in a school fight, but that wasn't the full story. The truth is what Bhabhi and I just told you. As for what happened to her afterward, that's her story to tell, and I have no right to speak about her past," Maan concluded his lengthy explanation. But I was even more curious now, eager to know what happened after they left.
