Happiest Birthday, My Love! ❤️

Cheers to 20 babee 🥂
I feel incredibly lucky to have you in my life.

Do you remember the early days of our friendship? When I first saw you in school, I thought you were the kind of girl with an attitude, which is why I never really tried to approach you. But everything changed during our Polavaram trip. You completely proved me wrong that day. I remember how we spent the whole trip together, laughing, singing, and enjoying every moment. The most unforgettable part was when I rested my head on your lap, feeling so peaceful. That's when our friendship truly began.

In 10th grade, we became inseparable, sitting next to each other in class, pulling off all sorts of naughty antics. We got scolded by almost every teacher, but that never stopped us from being our crazy selves. Sadly, we didn't even realize that our last day of school had come because of that annoying Covid-19.

Over time, I've come to understand that you're not just a friend—you're my soulmate, my sister, my partner in everything. Your kindness, love, and compassion inspire me every single day. And I know, I'm the one who left for studies, not you. I regret this decision more than you know, and I'm so sorry for that.

But despite everything, you've never blamed me, not even once. You're the one who can always make me laugh, even on my worst days. I promise you that I won't miss the chance to do our post-graduation together. 

I love you more than words can say💌💫 I miss you so much🥹🫂.

Once again Happy Birthday, my darling! May this year bring you joy, success, and all your heart's desires ❤️


(EPISODE 25)

After dinner, everyone was heading to their rooms when Neena called out, "Wait!" Everyone stopped and turned to look at her. "Get ready quickly tomorrow morning. We're going to the temple, and after that, you can go to your work," Neena said. Everyone nodded and went to their rooms.

Arushi and Vivanth entered their room. Arushi was walking ahead with a water bottle in her hand, and Vivanth was behind her, busy looking at his phone. Arushi opened the bottle and took a sip, but as she walked, her right foot hit the edge of the bed.

"Ahh!" she cried out in pain.

Vivanth immediately looked up and rushed over, his voice filled with concern, "What happened?!"

"My leg..." Arushi tried to explain, but the pain made it hard for her to speak. She was always sensitive to pain, and even a small injury made her uncomfortable.

Vivanth quickly took the water bottle from her hand, placed it on the bed, and helped her sit down. He then went over to the dressing table, grabbed a spray for pain relief, and sat down on the floor beside Arushi's ankle. He was about to apply the spray when Arushi stopped him.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"What do you mean? I'm trying to help," Vivanth replied, confused.

"You shouldn't touch my leg!" Arushi said, feeling shy.

But Vivanth didn't listen to her and continued his task. "Just stay quiet for a bit, okay?" he said, trying to be serious.

Annoyed, Arushi grabbed the spray from his hand and lightly hit him on the head with it. "Didn't I tell you not to touch my leg? Do you think I'll get scared just because you're using that serious tone?" she said, staring directly at him. "Move! Get up from there!" she added, opening the cap of the spray.

Suddenly, they heard laughter. Both Vivanth and Arushi looked towards the door and saw Kunwar and Neena standing there, chuckling. Feeling awkward, Arushi was about to stand up.

"No, no, Aru beta, sit down. Don't be so formal," Kunwar said with a smile.

Neena walked towards Arushi, holding a gold saree and an old wooden jewelry box. "Aru beta, this saree and jewelry have been passed down through generations in the Rathore family. The new daughter-in-law of the house must wear them for temple visits or special pujas. My mother gave these to me, and now it's your turn. Take them," Neena said, handing them to Arushi.

Arushi accepted them with a shy smile. "Thank you," she whispered.

Kunwar gently patted Arushi's head. "Take care," he said before leaving the room with Neena.

Once they were gone, Vivanth locked the door and returned to Arushi. He sat down in front of her, took the spray from her hand, and carefully lifted her ankle onto his lap. Without saying a word, he applied the spray, massaging her leg gently. Arushi, too tired to argue anymore, stayed quiet and let him continue.

"Now, tell me, what's been bothering you?" Vivanth asked as he continued massaging her ankle.

"Nothing, I'm perfectly fine," Arushi replied simply.

Vivanth wasn't convinced. He moved closer and sat beside her. "Do you think I haven't noticed? Now, tell me what's wrong. This is the last time I'm asking," he said in a more serious tone.

Arushi didn't say anything at first. She intertwined her fingers with his and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Don't keep things to yourself, Rabbit. Tell me what's on your mind. I'm here for you," Vivanth said softly, placing a gentle kiss on her nose.

"Malini maa," Arushi finally said.

Vivanth looked confused but stayed quiet, waiting for her to explain.

"Don't you think Malini maa deserves to be happy too?" Arushi asked.

"But she has everything. Why wouldn't she be happy?" Vivanth replied, still unsure.

"Vivanth, a woman doesn't find happiness in luxury. What matters most is love, care, and affection from her husband and children. Do you think Malini maa has that?" Arushi asked, her voice full of concern.

Vivanth stayed quiet, thinking about her words. "Not really," he finally admitted.

"She's a human being with feelings, dreams, and hopes. She deserves love and care, especially from her children. I don't think she can ever get that from her husband in this situation, but she should at least have it from her kids. And they deserve love from their parents too," Arushi said, her eyes welling up with emotion.

"You're right. But how can we make that happen?" Vivanth asked.

"Please, bring Vivaan Bhai and Ishika Di back," Arushi said, her voice trembling with emotion.

"But how?" Vivanth asked again.

"Please..." Arushi whispered, tears filling her eyes.

Vivanth wiped her tears gently. "Alright, don't cry. I'll think of something," he said, his heart swelling with pride. He felt so lucky to have a wife who cared so deeply about everyone in his family.
