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.

(EPISODE 26)

As the night passed, both Vivanth and Arushi drifted into a peaceful sleep, cuddled closely with each other. The next morning, Vivanth woke up feeling the warmth of Arushi's arms wrapped around his torso, her head resting comfortably on his chest. He stretched his arms, feeling refreshed, and rubbed his eyes. When he opened them, his gaze fell on Arushi's sleeping face. He couldn't help but admire her soft features, her peaceful expression, and the way her hair fell gently over her face.

Just as he was lost in thought, admiring her beauty, a sudden ringtone broke the quiet. It was Arushi's phone ringing on the bedside table. The name "Aadhya" flashed on the screen. Vivanth carefully reached over to answer the call, trying not to wake Arushi.

"Hello?" Vivanth said.

Before he could say anything more, Aadhya's voice came through the phone in a rush. "Hello, Aru! I booked an appointment for you with the psychiatrist tomorrow. I hope that's okay! Hello? Are you there?" Aadhya asked without giving Vivanth a chance to respond. "Anyway, I'm running late. See you at the office! Bye!" she finished, sounding hurried, and hung up before Vivanth could say a word.

Vivanth stared at the phone, feeling a mix of confusion and concern. He hadn't known that Arushi was seeing a psychiatrist, and the thought of it made him worry even more about her. He gently placed the phone back on the table and looked down at Arushi, still fast asleep, wondering what was going on in her mind that she hadn't shared with him yet.

Vivanth gently started running his fingers through Arushi's hair, his mind filled with thoughts about why she might be seeing a psychiatrist. He couldn't shake the worry that something was bothering her deeply, something she hadn't yet shared with him. His touch was soft and comforting as he continued to caress her hair, lost in thought.

Suddenly, he felt Arushi stirring beside him. He looked down and saw that she had woken up, her eyes slowly blinking open as she adjusted to the morning light.

"You're awake, baby?" Vivanth asked softly, his voice filled with warmth and care.

Arushi gave a small, sleepy hum in response, not saying much but letting him know she was indeed awake.

"Good morning," Vivanth whispered, leaning down to place a tender kiss on her forehead.

"Morning," Arushi replied with a gentle smile, her voice still a little groggy. She lifted her head slightly and kissed him back on the cheek, the familiar warmth between them filling the room.

They stayed like that for a few moments, enjoying the quiet comfort of each other's presence before starting their day. Vivanth still couldn't stop thinking about Aadhya's call, but for now, he chose to focus on the peaceful moment they were sharing.

Later, everyone waited downstairs for Arushi and Vivanth. After a few moments, they appeared at the top of the stairs, walking side by side, looking perfect together.

Arushi wore the gold saree and traditional jewellery Neena had given her, the saree shimmering softly as she descended. Vivanth, dressed elegantly, couldn't take his eyes off her, clearly proud.

As they reached the family, they both looked like they were made for each other, complementing one another perfectly. Arushi's soft smile showed her happiness, though she felt a little shy as they joined everyone.

Soon, they arrived at the temple, the peaceful atmosphere welcoming them. The soft ringing of bells and the fragrance of incense filled the air. One by one, everyone stepped out of the car and made their way towards the temple entrance.

As they reached the main area of worship, they paused for a moment. Each person gently folded their hands, bowing their heads in prayer. The serene surroundings seemed to calm their hearts as they stood in silence, offering their prayers to the deity.

Arushi, standing beside Vivanth, closed her eyes, silently whispering her wishes to the god, feeling grateful for the day. The whole family stood united, seeking blessings, their faces glowing with faith and peace.

After finishing their prayers, everyone sat together in a peaceful corner of the temple. The cool breeze swept around them as they enjoyed the quiet moment. Suddenly, Arushi softly called out, "Vivanth..." her voice capturing everyone's attention.

Vivanth turned to look at her, curious. "There's a small surprise gift for you," Arushi said, smiling warmly. Just as she finished speaking, Shardul snuck up behind Vivanth and playfully covered his eyes with his hands, laughing.

"Hey, what's going on?" Vivanth asked, amused but confused.

Arushi reached into her clutch and pulled out a sleek, elegant watch. Gently, she started fastening it around Vivanth's wrist while Shardul kept his eyes covered. "This is for you," she said softly, her smile growing wider as she secured the watch.

Everyone watched the sweet moment with smiles, sensing the love and thoughtfulness behind the surprise.

"3... 2... 1... open!" Nishika shouted excitedly. Shardul quickly removed his hands from Vivanth's eyes.

As Vivanth opened his eyes, he immediately noticed the watch around his wrist. His eyes widened in surprise, taking in the thoughtful gift. For a brief moment, he felt a surge of emotion, and tears started to well up in his eyes. But he blinked them away quickly, keeping his usual strong expression intact. He wasn't one to show vulnerability, especially in front of others—after all, he was Vivanth Singh Rathore.

"Do you like it?" Arushi asked softly, watching his reaction closely.
