"Are you alright?" Karan asked Abhimanyu, noticing his sad demeanor. "Yes, Papa," Abhimanyu replied, forcing a smile.
Karan saw right through his son's response and asked, "Are you sure, beta? You seem a bit off." "I'm alright, Papa," Abhimanyu insisted, though his words hid the turmoil inside.
"If only Papa knew how his dear son had shattered Siya's heart," Abhimanyu thought, masking his pain with a calm facade.
"Hey, I'll drop you off today," Karan offered, totally unaware of the turmoil brewing inside his son. "No, Papa, it's cool. I'll manage on my own," Abhi said, his tone distant, not really in the mood to chat.
"Oh, why not? Come on, beta, I'll drop you off today," Karan insisted. "Papa, please. You never have time for me or Ma. Why do you want to drop me today?" Abhimanyu shot back, his voice laced with anger.
"Just hear me out, Abhimanyu," Karan said, picking up on his son's frustration. As soon as Abhimanyu left for school, he went to find his estranged wife, hoping she might shed some light on their son's changed behavior.

"Siya, princess, is everything alright? You look so sad," Purvi asked, her concern showing as she noticed her daughter playing with her breakfast instead of eating. "Nothing, Mumma, just a bit anxious about the results," Siya deflected, not ready to talk about Abhi.
"Oh, sweetheart, what's bothering you?" Purvi pressed, sensing her daughter's discomfort and realizing it might be about the upcoming results. "Mumma, I'm just a bit worried about a few subjects this time," Siya replied, hiding her true feelings behind a mask of exam stress.
"And I'm pretty sure this isn't your final exam, right? These weren't your finals either. Worrying about the results isn't going to help, okay? You need to focus on the future. What's done is done; the past is behind us. We have control over our present and future, and we can always work to do better.
This is just the start of your journey. Just because adults have finished school doesn't mean they don't face challenges; we all have our tests in life. What really matters is how you deal with those challenges, Siya."
"And I love my princess so much. I believe in her more than she believes in herself. Girls are like birds in the sky; give them the right environment, and they'll reach amazing heights and explore the world freely. But if you keep them caged, they might think that's all life has to offer. I know my princess can soar even higher. She's not just meant to go through life; she's destined to finish it with grace and beauty."
"Yes, Mumma," Siya replied, tears brimming in her eyes at her mother's words, feeling deeply moved by her unwavering trust. "Don't cry, sweetheart. And guess what? Your cousin Rahul is joining you today." "Really? He finally enrolled at Arora's Edu? I've been waiting for him to arrive!"
