Restlessness gnawed at Devraj as the night wore on. The weight of the impending challenges, coupled with the revelations from the priest, kept his mind racing. He decided to seek solace in Anika's presence.

Sneaking into Anika's house through the backyard, he tiptoed into her room. The soft glow of moonlight illuminated the room, casting ethereal shadows. Both sisters were asleep, their faces serene in slumber.

Devraj stood by Anika's bed, his heart filled with a profound sense of love and protection. He leaned down and kissed her cheek, the softness of her skin a stark contrast to the harsh realities he was grappling with.

Anika stirred, her sleep disturbed by the gentle touch. Her eyes fluttered open, and she found herself looking into Devraj's intense gaze. Before she could react, he placed a finger on her lips, silencing her. "It's me," he whispered, his voice low and reassuring with concern. "Don't wake Anita."

Anika's eyes widened in surprise, but she quickly calmed down. She nodded, understanding the situation. Devraj had entered her world without waking her sister, a testament to his care and consideration.

Devraj gently pulled Anika out of the room, their movements cautious not to disturb the sleeping Anita or anyone in the house. The cool night air enveloped them as they sat on the terrace, the moonlight casting an ethereal glow on their faces.

In the quiet of the night, Devraj held Anika close, his arms wrapped around her. Her presence was a comforting anchor in the storm of his thoughts.

"I missed you," he whispered, his voice filled with affection.

Anika smiled, her eyes sparkling in the moonlight. "I missed you too," she replied, her voice soft.

They sat in silence for a moment, the only sound the gentle rustling of the leaves. Devraj broke the silence. "I have something important to tell you," he began, his voice filled with a sense of gravity.

Anika looked at him, her eyes filled with concern. "What is it, Devraj garu?" she asked, her voice soft.

Devraj paused, his mind racing. He knew the conversation he was about to have would change everything. "It's about Yuvraj and Anita," he began, his voice heavy with the weight of the words.

Anika's eyes widened in surprise. "What about them?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.

Devraj took a deep breath. "They... they're in love," he said, his voice barely a whisper.

Anika's eyes widened in shock. She had always suspected a connection between the two, but this confirmation was still a surprise. "I didn't know, from how long?" she said, her voice filled with a mix of surprise and happiness.

Devraj nodded. "It's a complicated situation," he replied. "Yuvraj is trying to navigate his feelings, while Anita seems not so fond of yuvi's actions. But I know for sure is that Yuvi is very serious about anita."

Anika listened intently, her mind racing. She understood the complexities of love, the challenges that came with it. "I'll talk to her," she said, her voice filled with determination. "She needs someone to talk to."

Devraj squeezed her hand and kissed her cheek. "Thank you," he replied, his heart filled with gratitude.

Devraj, trying to lighten the mood, added a playful tone to the conversation. "We better act quickly," he said, a mischievous glint in his eye. "At this rate, Yuvraj might elope with Anita, or worse, bring a pregnant Anita at home."

Anika burst out laughing. "You're ridiculous, Yuvi is one of a kind who know when to act" she said, wiping away a tear of laughter. "They're both young and impulsive, but I don't think it will come to that." 

Devraj grinned. "You never know with those two," he replied. "We need to guide them, make sure they're on the right path."

Anika nodded in agreement. "We'll figure it out," she said, her voice filled with determination. "But for now, let's enjoy this moment."

As they sat there, the moon casting an ethereal glow over them, they found solace in each other's company. The weight of the world seemed to fade away, replaced by the warmth of their love.

As they sat there, the weight of the world seemed to lift from their shoulders. Devraj leaned in and kissed Anika gently on the cheek with the thoughts of the priest words as he knew that she is the only one with pure heart and soul and no one will fit in the criteria to be his wife. She smiled, her eyes sparkling with warmth.

"I should get back," he said, his voice filled with reluctance. "There's still much to be done."

Anika nodded, understanding the demands of his position. "I'll be here," she said, her voice filled with love and support.

Devraj leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips and left with a hard suck on her lower lip. The kiss was a brief, tender moment, a promise of their enduring love. He pulled away, his heart filled with a sense of peace. "I'll see you soon," he said, his voice low.

Anika smiled, her eyes filled with love. "I can't wait," she replied.

Devraj turned to leave, his footsteps echoing in the quiet night. As he walked away, he turned one last time to look at Anika. She was the light that guided him through the darkness, the love that sustained him. With a renewed sense of purpose, he continued on his way, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
