Aarohi: (blushing and twirling slightly) "Thank you, pathi dev. This saree is absolutely beautiful. You really do have an amazing taste."

[Arjun gently adjusts the pleats of Aarohi's saree, his fingers brushing against her skin. Their eyes meet, and there’s a moment of shared intimacy.]

Aarohi: "I feel like a princess today. Are you ready for our temple date?"

Arjun: "More than ready. I can't wait to spend this special day with you. Shall we?

"Aarohi: "Yes, let’s go."

[They hold hands and leave the house, heading to the temple.]

[Scene: Temple, mid-morning. The temple is peaceful and serene, with the sound of bells and the scent of incense in the air. Arjun and Aarohi walk up the steps together, hand in hand.]

Aarohi: "There’s something so calming about this place. It feels like we can leave all our worries behind."

Arjun: "I agree. Being here with you makes everything feel right."

Aarohi: (teasingly) "Look at you, the ruthless business devil, sitting here with his wife in a temple. Never thought I’d see the day."

Arjun: (chuckling) "I know, it’s quite a sight. But for you, I’d do anything."

Aarohi: "I know you don’t really believe in these temple dates and all, but thank you for doing this for me. It means a lot.

"Arjun: (seriously) "Aarohi, I may not be a traditionalist, but I believe in us. If this makes you happy, then I’m all in."

Arjun: "Me too. I prayed for us to always stay together, no matter what."

[After their prayers, they walk around the temple, taking in the peaceful surroundings. They stop at a small pond, where Arjun takes Aarohi's hand.]

Arjun: "Aarohi, being here with you feels like a blessing. I’m so grateful to have you in my life."

Aarohi: "And I’m grateful to have you, Arjun. You make everything better."

[They sit down on a bench near the pond, enjoying the calm atmosphere. Arjun gently strokes Aarohi’s hair.]

Arjun: "You know, this moment right here, with you by my side, it’s perfect. I wouldn’t trade it for anything."

Aarohi: "Neither would I

[Scene: Arjun and Aarohi are walking around the temple grounds, enjoying the serene atmosphere. They saw a lady , looking distressed and distracted.]

Aarohi: "Arjun, isn’t that Manjari Aunty? She looks upset."

Arjun: "It is. Let’s go see if she’s okay."

[As they approach, Manjari trips on the uneven path and is about to fall. Aarohi rushes forward and catches her just in time.]

Aarohi: "Aunty, are you alright?"

Manjari: (tearing up) "Thank you, Aarohi. I’m fine. It’s just… everything is so overwhelming."

Aarohi: "What’s wrong? You look very upset."

Manjari: (starting to cry) "I’ve failed as a mother. My house is in chaos. Abhimanyu and Akshara have made so many mistakes, and I don’t know how to fix it. They’ve hurt so many people, including you."

Aarohi: "Aunty, it’s not your fault. You’ve always tried your best."

Manjari: (sobbing) "No, Aarohi. I need to apologize to you. For everything Abhimanyu has done to you in the past, and even now. You didn’t deserve any of it. He betrayed you, and now he’s involved in all these schemes."

Aarohi: "Aunty, please don’t blame yourself. I’ve moved on, and I’m happy with Arjun now."

Manjari: "I always wished you could have been my daughter-in-law. From the beginning, I thought you were perfect for Abhimanyu. But now I see that he doesn’t deserve you. Arjun is right for you, always has been. He treats you with the respect and love you deserve."

Aarohi: (holding Manjari’s hand) "Thank you, Aunty

Aarohi: "I’ve already forgiven you, Aunty. The past is behind us, and we should focus on the future. I’m here for you, always.

"[Manjari embraces Aarohi, tears of relief and gratitude streaming down her face. Arjun watches them, feeling a deep sense of pride and love for Aarohi.]
