Seven days have passed since all the family members returned from their short trip and enjoyed their time together. While everyone has resumed their usual schedules, Jeevika's routine has significantly shifted since coming back from the trip. She finds herself sleeping more than necessary and experiencing increased fatigue. Furthermore, her morning sickness has reached its peak. Yuvan has already left for the office, leaving Jeevika to occupy herself by monitoring the comments on her YouTube account, where her videos have been receiving a considerable number of views, until she received a notification of a call on her phone from Sahil.

"Yes, Sahil say?"

"Sorry Jeevika, I just wanted to umm."

"It's really hard for me to digest the fact that you used to see me more than a friend."

Upon signing, Sahil expressed a sense of relief at being able to share his feelings of love, while also experiencing a sense of unease at the prospect of their friendship being jeopardized.

"Please forget about all of this. I truly want to see you happy, and I strongly believe that Yuvan is the person destined for you. His love and devotion towards you are evident in his eyes, and it's something he cherishes deeply."

Jeevika attentively listened to everything that evoked a sudden rush in her heart. However, she also desired to witness Yuvan's fervour towards her, the love he had just confessed in action, now being displayed in words as well.

"I love Yuvan without a doubt, but it's difficult for me to see you like this, Sahil. Please don't interpret it as pity." 

Jeevika murmured, leading Sahil to remain quiet during the conversation, with numerous thoughts swirling in their minds.

"Seeing you happy again brings me so much joy. Your love for Yuvan is beautiful, and I never want to come between that. Just know that if things ever took a different turn and Yuvan didn't reciprocate your feelings, I would always be there for you," Upon Sahil's response with a chuckle, Jeevika, though initially shaking her head, eventually chuckled as well. Following a brief chat, they parted ways, having clarified their viewpoints.

Meanwhile Yuvan entered his office room with a fired-up demeanour after the unsuccessful meeting, causing a slight shiver among other members by banging the table.

"To hell with their presentation!"

Yuvan threw his tie and coat on the couch in frustration. After taking a moment to calm down, he noticed the tiffin his wife had sent him, which brought a smile to his lips. He freshened up and made himself comfortable at the desk, placing the lunch box on the coffee table.

"Isn't it great that my wife has such a wonderful way of calming down my anger?"

Yuvan grinned as he opened the first box, revealing a salad arranged with cucumber, green pepper, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, red onions, and olives. He drizzled it with dressing and gently tossed it. Moving on to the next tiffin box, he found a chapati wrapped in foil paper, making him smile. Lastly, he uncovered the cooked vegetables he had been eagerly anticipating, but his excitement turned into pissed off. He quickly dialled a number on his phone, and it was answered almost instantly.
