Vencie POV:

Harsh explained everything to Aaru, and to say she was pissed would be an understatement. She glared at Arjun but turned her wrath on Dhruv, shouting, "Two freaking months, and you didn't bother telling me, Dhruv?"

Dhruv shuffled in his place, feeling uncomfortable. He could handle anyone's anger, even Arjun's, but when Aaru was angry, it hit differently.

"I told him not to say anything, Rooh," Arjun said, still gulping.

Aaru gave Arjun one last glare before snapping, "Give me the location NOW!"

Krish quickly handed her the coordinates, and they all headed to the location. Harsh and Aaru were in one car, while the others followed in another. As they arrived, they saw an abandoned building.

Harsh turned to Aaru and said, "Stay inside until I say it's safe."

Aaru nodded, understanding, because she didn't have a gun with her. The boys stepped out first, checking for any signs of danger. When they found none, Aaru also got out, and they all proceeded inside the house, searching every room.

When Aaru found a room covered with her pictures, all marked with red crosses, she felt her anger flare. But what truly enraged her was seeing a large photo of Arjun in the center with an even bigger cross on it. That was the last straw.

Aaru's eyes blazed with fury as she took in the sight. Every fiber of her being screamed for vengeance. She felt a cold rage settle in her chest.

How dare they threaten her Ajju?

It was one thing to come after her, but to target Arjun was crossing a line that should never have been crossed. Her protective instincts kicked into high gear, and she was ready to tear apart anyone who dared to harm him.

Everyone else arrived and saw the room. Their eyes widened in shock. Dhruv commented, "It's impossible for one person to do all this, especially considering that woman is pregnant."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Suddenly, they heard a loud scream from a woman. They immediately ran toward the source of the sound.

Arjun instinctively pushed Aaru behind him and kicked open the door to reveal his stepmother, screaming for help.

"What the hell is happening?" Harsh asked, bewildered.

Aaru pushed past everyone and saw that the woman's water had broken. "Somebody take her to the hospital immediately!" she ordered.

No one wasted a second. Krish quickly lifted the woman, and they rushed outside. Arjun drove, with Aaru in the passenger seat, and they sped to the hospital.

At the hospital, the doctors immediately took Arjun's stepmother into the emergency ward. Aaru turned to Krish and said, "Call that old man."

Krish nodded and stepped outside to make the call. Meanwhile, Arjun sat in the waiting area, his face emotionless, but inside, he was panicking.

His thoughts were a whirl of fear and uncertainty. Could he ever forgive himself if something happened to the baby? Even after everything, it was still a part of him—a sibling he never knew he wanted until now.

Aaru kneeled in front of him and cupped his face gently. "I am here, Ajju. It will be okay," she reassured him softly.

Arjun looked at her with a pleading expression, "Baby, can we... can—"

Aaru pulled him into a comforting hug, whispering, "Shhh, babybear, I understand. And yes, we can."

Arjun gave her a long kiss on her forehead, murmuring, "Thank you so much."
