Recap:

Aastha confessed that she loved Anurag to Sai, and Samar Samrat Chawan was born.

Let's Start!!!

After a long and exhausting day at the hospital, Aastha returned to Chawan Niwas, her body aching from the stress and workload. The moment she stepped inside, the familiar comfort of home embraced her, but all she could think about was seeing baby Samar.

As soon as she entered, Pakhi, sitting on the couch cradling her newborn, greeted her with a warm smile. Aastha's eyes immediately softened at the sight of Samar. Without hesitation, she walked over, her exhaustion momentarily forgotten.

"Vahini, can I hold him for a while?" Aastha asked gently, her eyes lighting up at the thought of cuddling the little one.

Pakhi smiled warmly and handed the tiny baby to her. "Of course. He's been waiting for you," she teased lightly.

Aastha carefully took Samar in her arms, cradling him with a tenderness that only a mother-like instinct could bring. The moment Samar was nestled against her, all her tiredness seemed to vanish. His tiny hands wriggled as his big eyes blinked up at her, making her heart swell with love.

"Hello, my little prince," Aastha cooed, brushing her thumb gently over Samar's cheek. The baby gurgled in response, his innocent smile spreading across his chubby face.

Aastha chuckled, her tired eyes twinkling. She started bouncing him lightly, rocking him in her arms as she moved to the center of the room. "You always know how to make Bua's tiredness disappear, don't you?" she whispered to the baby, who responded with soft baby noises and another adorable grin.

Watching this moment, Pakhi and the rest of the family couldn't help but smile. There was something magical about the bond Aastha shared with Samar. She played with him, her earlier exhaustion melting away as if it had never existed. She made silly faces, gently tickling his tiny feet and kissing his forehead. Samar giggled in her arms, his laughter the sweetest sound in the room.

Virat, who had been watching from a distance, chuckled. "Looks like you've found your secret energy booster."

Aastha looked up at him, grinning widely. "He's better than tea, I swear," she said, nuzzling her nose against Samar's.

After dinner, Aastha made her move towards her room, she was as usual missing her Fire while reading short love stories.

Aastha read a line aloud, "Every time I see you, it's like the world goes silent, and all I can hear is the sound of my heart reminding me that you're the reason it beats."

Aastha (with misty eyes): Fire, please come back I miss you terribly...I miss being in your arms...I miss your teasing...I miss listening to your heartbeats while hugging you...

Aastha started crying while missing Anurag, around 3 AM there was a knock on Aastha's room door. She woke up with a jerk.

Samrat (little panic): Aastha, Aastha please open the door.

Aastha opened the door and saw panic Samrat.

Aastha (concerned): What's wrong, Dada?

Samrat: Pakhi is in pain.

Aastha hurriedly took her emergency kit and rushed towards Samrakhi's room and saw Pakhi crying in pain.

Aastha: Vahini, where are you feeling pain?
