She was rushed to the hospital after her surgery she gained consciousness after 7 hours, it was followed by Aastha again confessing her feelings, her family came to check on her and Anurag apologized to her for not supporting her.

Let's start!!

Next Morning:

Anurag's eyes fluttered open as he felt Aastha stir slightly in her sleep. His grip on her hand instinctively tightened, a silent reassurance that he was there. He sat up straighter, careful not to disturb her too much, and gently brushed a few stray strands of hair away from her face. Her peaceful expression brought a wave of relief to him, but the worry lingered just beneath the surface.

He glanced over at Sai, who was curled up on the couch, sleeping soundly despite the uncomfortable position. Anurag allowed himself a small smile at the sight of their mutual friend, grateful for her presence and support.

As Aastha settled back into a deeper sleep, Anurag leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, his heart full of emotions he still struggled to put into words. He whispered, "I'm right here, Aastha. I'm not going anywhere."

Anurag was wide awake he was thinking about which were going to take place today.

Anurag gazed at Aastha's peaceful face, his mind racing with determination. He gently stroked her hand, careful not to wake her, but the resolve in his heart grew stronger with every breath she took.

"Bacha, today I'll make everything okay," he thought to himself, his eyes reflecting the depth of his promise. "No more rumors, no more scandals, nothing. I'll end this chapter today itself."

His mind flashed back to the news reports and the turmoil it had caused, the lies and rumors that had tried to tear down everything he had built. But seeing Aastha like this, so vulnerable yet so strong, he knew he couldn't let it go on any longer.

"I'll protect you, Aastha. From everything."

With one final look at her, Anurag carefully released her hand and stood up. Today was the day he would put an end to it all, no matter what it took.

Anurag was lost in his thoughts when Aastha slightly opened her eyes, she saw him lost in his thoughts a smile appeared on her face.

Aastha (in her mind): In his disheveled state he also looks so handsome, his hair is messy but so hot.

Aastha (a small blush crept on her cheeks): Morning Fire.

Anurag (smiles): Morning Bacha. How are you feeling now?

Aastha: Better.

Anurag: Are you feeling pain?

Aastha: A little.

There was a knock on the door, which made Sai woke up.

Anurag: Come in.

The door opened revealing Samrat and Pakhi, Aastha smiled looking at them.

Samrat: Good Morning everyone!!!

Aastha: Good Morning!!

Anurag left her side and Samrat made Pakhi sit carefully beside Aastha.

Pakhi: How are you feeling, beta?

Aastha: Better vahini.

Aastha tried to sit on her bed, and Samrat helped her.
