Seeing Ankit faint, his dad and brother rushed him into a room and called the doctor. The doctor examined Ankit and gave him an injection.

"What happened, Doctor?" Ankit’s father asked.

The doctor replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Gupta. It's nothing serious. He was very stressed and his body was also very tired. I gave him an injection and IV, he will regain consciousness soon. Just make sure he rests more and eats healthy food."

He nodded, and Aditya saw the doctor out. Pri was sitting beside Ankit, holding his hand and looking at him with much love and care. His father looked at Pri with a slight smile.

After an hour, Ankit's eyes moved slightly, and his grip on Pri's hand tightened. Pri looked at Ankit, who was frowning.

"Ankit," Pri called softly, cupping his cheek. Ankit slowly opened his eyes and blinked twice. Then he looked at Pri, who was smiling at him.

"Priyanka," he said in a hoarse voice. Pri helped him to sit and poured water into a glass then made him drink. Ankit gulped the water and closed his eyes, calming down. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a different room. He looked around, confused, and then the reality hit him hard. He remembered his father's words and looked at Pri to confirm if it was true. Pri nodded, understanding his confused and questioning gaze.

"My dad loves me," he said to himself, almost whispering. He looked at Pri.

"Pri, my dad loves me. He said it himself. Did you hear that right?" he asked with teary eyes and a smile. Pri felt happy seeing his smile and nodded, saying,

"Yes, Ankit, your dad loves you the most. He said he loves you more than anyone, and you are his life."

Ankit smiled through his tears and hugged her. He felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. He felt light and happy. For years, he had believed his dad hated him and had abandoned him, but today he learned that wasn't true, which relieved him. Yet, he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, wondering, "Why?"

Seeing his change in expression, Pri asked, "What happened, Ankit?"

"If he loves me, then why did he do all this? Why did he send me away?" Ankit asked.

"You need to ask this of your father, Ankit," Pri replied. Ankit looked at Pri.

"Yes, today you need to lay your heart out in front of your father. Ask him every single thing you've wanted to ask since childhood. Let out all your emotions and questions without hesitation. Now that you know your father loves you, you can see it in his eyes, as well your brother. There must be a very important reason behind all this. Let him explain. Your heart needs answers then only you can find peace, okay?" Pri said, cupping his face. Ankit nodded.

They heard a knock on the door, and Ankit's dad and brother stood there, looking at them adoringly. As they came inside, Pri stood up to leave, but Ankit held her hand. Pri looked at him.

"Ankit, you need this time with your dad and brother, and you can handle it. Until then, I'll make Mom's magic soup to restore your energy," Pri said cheerfully, smiling at his father and brother before leaving.

Downstairs,

Pri came down and sat beside her brother. He patted her head lovingly.
