As they settled in their room. Vasudha came there and took the baby in her arms again. Curiosity is evident in her eyes.
( Vasudha : ekkadiki vellaaru ? )
Vasudha : Where did you two go ?
she asked gently by bouncing the infant in her arms carefully.
Vikramaditya exchanged a glance with Vaidehi by gauging her readiness to share.
( Vikramaditya : Rajeev daggaraiki vellaamu. )
Vikramaditya : We went to see Rajeev.
he said and his voice is steady.
Vasudha's expression shifted to concern flooding her features.
( Vasudha : Rajeev ? Assalu vaadini kalavaalsina avasaram em vachhindhi ? )
Vasudha : Rajeev ? Why on earth would you meet him ?
Vaidehi swallowed hard by still processing everything.
( Vaidehi : Endukante.....Endukante athanu naa anna. )
Vaidehi : Because... because he's my half-brother.
The words hung in the air and Vasudha's eyes widened in shock.
( Vasudha : enti ? Ela ? )
Vasudha : What ? How ?
( Vaidehi : Ee madhyey telisindhi. )
Vaidehi : I found out recently.
Vaidehi said and her voice is barely above a whisper.
( Vaidehi : Ninna raatri varaku naaku telidhu. )
Vaidehi : I didn't know until yesterday night.
Vasudha shook her head with disbelief etched on her face.
( Vasudha : Nammaleka pothunna. Vishayam ippudu inka theevram ga maarutundhi. Ippati varaku jariginadhaaniki todu idhi kuda. )
Vasudha : I can't believe it. That complicates things even more, especially given our history.
Vikramaditya stepped closer by sensing the tension.
( Vikramaditya : Idanthaa handle cheyyadam sulabham kaadhu. )
Vikramaditya : It's a lot for all of us to handle.
Vasudha's expression softened with a mix of sympathy and concern.
( Vaidehi : Athaniki naa gurinchi pattimpu ledhu. )
Vaidehi : He—he doesn't care about me.
Vaidehi said with her voice trembling.
( Vaidehi : Vikramaditya ki haani cheyyadam maatramey athani lakshyam. Ippatiki rendu saarlu champaali ani choosadu. )
Vaidehi : He just wants to hurt Vikramaditya. He tried to kill him twice.
Vasudha's gaze flickered to Vikramaditya by understanding the weight of Rajeev's threats.
( Vasudha : Naaku Rajeev gurinchi baaga telusu. Vaadu oka raakshasudu , evaru vaadini pattinchukoka pothey mrugam laa maarutaadu. Jagratha ga undandi. Vaadiki eppatiki andhari dhrushti kaavali. )
Vasudha : I know Rajeev very well. He can be ruthless, especially if he feels backed into a corner. You need to be careful. He is someone who always seeks for attention.
Vikramaditya placed a comforting hand on Vaidehi's shoulder.
( Vikramaditya : Tanu ontari ga ledhu. Edhi emaina iddharimi kalisey edhurukuntam. )
