In the evening, Aarohi came to her cabin and saw a gift. The gift was wrapped beautifully. Aarohi looked at the box to see who had given it and got to know that Neil had left it with a note: "Please come to this XYZ location at 8 PM."
In the evening, Aarohi was standing at the location. As she looked around, it was all dark.
Aarohi's Outfit!!!

"Neil!" Aarohi shouted as it was dark and Neil was nowhere to be seen.
As she was calling, suddenly the lights turned on and fell on Aarohi. It was beautiful, multicolored light. As Aarohi looked around, she could hear the voices of a violin and flute tune, making the air sweet and light.
"Neil, where are you?" said Aarohi again.
As she turned around, she saw Neil on his knees in front of her.
"Aarohi, today I want to speak, and please, just hear me. Let me speak my heart out," said Neil, smiling.
"Aarohi, I don't know, but spending time with you gives me peace—the peace my mind wants. I want to be myself when I am around you. I have seen the side of you that people fail to see, and I love the way you are. You aren't wrong; you are just different from others," said Neil, and he took a deep breath.
"People say that after death, the human brain is active for seven minutes. I want you to be my last seven minutes. Will you be my last seven minutes?" said Neil, taking out a ring box from his pocket.
Aarohi stood frozen as she heard the words from Neil. The world around her started to blur as she was lost in Neil's words. The lights were vibrant and glowing, but Aarohi could only focus on Neil, who was kneeling in front of her.
Her heart raced as she processed the confession, each word having its own deep meaning. Neil continued, his voice steady yet impactful.
"Aarohi, I know things aren't easy, but I am always ready to apologize first and end the conflicts between us. I will always be by your side, no matter what. I will love you immensely and listen to your point of view as well. I won't let our relationship fade into the dark," said Neil, opening his heart as well as the ring box.
The ring was shining in the glitter of lights and its own spark. Aarohi was just looking at Neil with love; she was lost in the moment and simply lent her hand to Neil and said "yes" with a huge smile.
Meanwhile, Ruhi and Kartik were recording this moment on their phone.
Kartik and Ruhi shared a high-five while looking at each other and went from there to give Aarohi and Neil some privacy.
On the other hand, Neil and Aarohi were lost in the moment. Neil got up and slowly slid the ring onto Aarohi's finger while Aarohi looked at him with love.
"Neil, I need to confess something. I don't want our relationship to start with a lie," said Aarohi, looking down while Neil looked at her in surprise.
"What is it, Aarohi?" asked Neil, looking at her.
"Neil, you know Ruhi, right? Please listen to me carefully. I know it isn't easy to believe; I also didn't believe it at first, but now I do, so please hear me out," said Aarohi, looking into his eyes while he caught a glimpse of something serious in what Aarohi was going to tell him.
"What is it, Aarohi? Please don't make it more suspenseful," said Neil, looking at her worriedly.
"Neil, you know Ruhi; she is our daughter. Yes, she is your and my daughter. She has come from the future," said Aarohi, taking a deep breath and telling Neil everything they are going to face in the future, while Neil became emotional.
"First, I thought about what connection I shared with Ruhi. Why do I feel so connected to her? Today, I got to know she is my part, only my unicorn. Thank you, God, for giving Ruhi to me as a child. I am angry with you as well. Why did you make her lose her parents at such a young age? How can everyone leave my daughter alone?" said Neil, angry, and fell to his knees crying.
Aarohi, who saw him broken, knew that this was something she was going to do, but she wasn't going to let him be weak.
"Neil," said Aarohi, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. She continued, "I know we aren't able to give Ruhi what she deserves, but she got a chance to go back to the past and change their lives, and it's a blessing. We should try our best to give our daughter what she deserves."
Neil, who heard Aarohi, smiled blankly and said, "You are right, Aarohi. I will spend most of my time with Ruhi and pamper her so much. I will surely not let you and me ever leave Ruhi."
"You are correct, Neil. I love you," said Aarohi, hugging him while Neil hugged her back.
"Aarohi, I want to tell my family about our marriage," said Neil with a smile.
"Neil, I love you very much, but please, I need some time for engagement. I need to explore myself more, and I want our relationship to be built on trust. I want us both to understand each other first and then take it further," said Aarohi with a gentle smile.
"I completely understand your point, and I totally agree that we need to build our relationship on trust. I really respect your decision," said Neil, looking at her with love in his eyes.
"Thank you so much, Neil, for understanding me. I needed that very much," said Aarohi, looking at him.
"Respecting your decision is my first priority, and I will always respect your decisions Aarohi," said Neil with a gentle smile and a spark in his voice while Aarohi hugged him again.
