Siya stood outside Rajveer's room, her hand shaking as she raised it to knock. The weight of Abhimanyu's letter felt like a heavy burden in her hands.
Inside, Rajveer immediately sensed it was Siya. He had been both dreading and preparing for this moment, knowing it would come but unsure how to handle it. When he opened the door and saw her tear-streaked face, his heart tightened. Without saying anything, he pulled her into a tight embrace.
Siya buried her face in his shoulder, her body shaking with sobs. Rajveer held her gently, rubbing her back and stroking her hair, feeling his own eyes well up. He let her cry as long as she needed to. When she started to calm down, she pulled away slightly and handed him the letter.
Rajveer took it from her, pretending to read it as if it were the first time. His heart sank as he saw the carefully written words—words that he knew would devastate Siya even more.
Tears blurred Rajveer's vision, not because he thought Abhimanyu had meant to hurt his sister, but because he knew the real culprits—the guilt he and Alia shared for manipulating Siya's emotions—was weighing heavily on him.
Siya, her eyes full of pain, spoke up through trembling breaths, "Bhai, I... I want to move to Mumbai," she said, barely able to get the words out between her sobs.
Rajveer was taken aback. He hadn't expected her to go through with it, and certainly not to Mumbai. Concern filled his voice as he asked, "Are you sure, Siya? Do you think you'll be okay?"
Siya nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "I think it's for the best, bhai," she replied. "I want to leave as soon as possible... in the next two days."
A pang of helplessness hit Rajveer. He had always prided himself on understanding Siya better than anyone, but now he realized Alia had managed to manipulate her in ways he hadn't anticipated.
"Okay, Siya," he said softly, trying to steady his own emotions. "We'll figure this out. I'll talk to Ma and Papa. We'll make sure everything goes smoothly for you."
Siya managed a weak smile, grateful for the unwavering support of her brother. Even though her heart was breaking, she was thankful to have him by her side.

As soon as Siya left, Rajveer sank onto his bed, overwhelmed by a mix of emotions. He knew he had to talk to Alia about the consequences of their actions. His hands trembled as he dialed her number.
Alia picked up after a few rings, her voice filled with concern. "Rajveer? What's wrong?" Rajveer struggled to speak through his tears. "Alia... your plan worked. Siya... Siya is leaving for Mumbai in two days."
Alia felt a sharp pang of guilt hearing the pain in Rajveer's voice. She had never meant for things to get this far, but she couldn't deny that her plan had succeeded. She sat down on her bed, her own tears streaming down her cheeks, torn between her feelings for Rajveer and her actions that had hurt him.
