Recap:

Aastha's homecoming to Chawan Niwas and Anurag lashes out at Aastha.

Let's Start!!!

Aastha and Anurag were sitting in each other's embrace.

Anurag: I'm sorry, Bacha.

Aastha looks at him still in a hug, "It's okay, Fire. I understand your concern you were not wrong, I was careless with my health. You took care of me like I was a fragile doll and I became careless when I returned to family."

Anurag pecked her forehead, "It was your happiness which made you a little careless."

Aastha: Fire, I'm sorry. It was my mistake. You said sorry.

Anurag shook his head but he thought of something playful.

Anurag: I'll forgive you if...

Aastha: If?

Anurag: If you kiss me.

He said pointing toward his cheek. Aastha smiles and pecks his cheek. Both smiled but Aastha's brothers were in another mood, especially Samrat.

Samrat (firmly): Anurag

Aastha & Anurag got separated from the hug and stood there facing Samrat, Virat, and Mohit. Aastha could sense the tense posture of Anurag and Samrat.

Samrat stepped forward, his smile fading slightly as he turned his gaze to Anurag. There was a seriousness in his tone now, though it was tempered by affection for his sister.

Samrat: Anurag, I know you're close to Aastha, and I trust you with her...but what was that back there? Lashing out at her in front of the whole family? You know how sensitive she is, and yet you went too far.

Anurag's face grew solemn as he faced Samrat. He respected Aastha's family deeply, and Samrat was not only her brother but someone he had come to care about.

Anurag: I know, Samrat. I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to her like that, especially in front of everyone. I let my fear and frustration get the better of me. I've already apologized to Aastha, and I mean it.

Samrat, seeing the sincerity in Anurag's eyes, nodded. His voice softened, but he didn't drop the seriousness entirely.

Samrat: I get it. We all have moments like that. But remember, she's our little sister. You hurt her, you answer to us. Take care of her better next time.

Anurag smiled, taking the gentle scolding with humility. He gave Samrat a respectful nod. "I promise."

Mohit to lighten the mood, stood beside Aastha and pulled her in a side hug, "By the way Tai, We saw you kissed your Fire's cheek was it true or we were dreaming?"

Aastha blushed furiously, "No you weren't dreaming my little brother."

Mohit added with a mischievous grin, "Yeah, I didn't realize we were walking in on a full-blown romance movie out here!"

Aastha looked at him with a smirk on her face, "Oh my dear brother. You're so dramatic on just seeing our cheek kiss, but I'm sure you did many things rather than kissing to make Karishma pregnant."

Boys choke their saliva on her boldness she just flipped her hair and started moving towards the main door. They stood their shock Aastha's voice brought them back to the world.
