Vencie POV:

"Arjun Jaidev Sooryavanshi!" A thunderous voice shook the entire mansion.

The intensity of the shout made everyone freeze in place. Ajju, who had just taken a sip of water, nearly spit it out in shock, his hands trembling slightly.

All the maids and guards nearby exchanged glances, a mix of concern and pity flashing across their faces.

Everyone knew—when Aaru used Ajju's full name, it was a rare, very rare occurrence. Which meant only one thing, the queen of the house is absolutely furious.

The three elders, came rushing out of their rooms in alarm. "What did you do, Jai?" Aravindh asked, eyeing Ajju with suspicion.

Poor Ajju just shook his head helplessly, wide-eyed and confused. "I didn't do anything!" he stammered.

Parth chachu, patted Ajju's back and said, "Well, you better run before she gets angrier this time."

Without wasting a second, Ajju dashed toward their room. He peeked inside cautiously, looking more like a puppy than the strong, confident man he usually is.

Aaru was sitting on the bed, completely lost in her thoughts after the realization that had just dawned on her. She wasn't even truly mad at Ajju, but she was so overwhelmed by the possible truth, her emotions had spiraled into panic.

Ajju stepped in hesitantly. "Hey, baby," he whispered, his voice soft and unsure.

Aaru didn't even glance at him. "Get me a pregnancy test kit. Right now." Her voice was calm but sharp, and Ajju nodded immediately, starting to turn toward the door.

But as her words fully processed in his mind, he froze in place, slowly turning back to face her, eyes wide. "Wait, wait... what?"

Aaru glared at him, her patience running thin. "Are you deaf, Ajju? I said get me the pregnancy test kit, right now!"

"On it!" Ajju blurted, and without another second to waste, he ran out of the room like his life depended on it.

As he hurried downstairs, the three elders were still waiting, looking at him expectantly. Guruji raised an eyebrow. "What is it, Jai?"

Ajju, still in a daze, replied, "She asked me to get a pregnancy testing kit..."

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire atmosphere shifted. The three elders were suddenly beaming, excitement practically radiating from them.

"Why are you still standing here, then? Run!" Aravindh urged, practically pushing Ajju out the door.

Ajju, still processing everything, nodded absently and rushed out to get the kit, his mind swirling in a daze of disbelief and excitement.

***

Ajju was pacing outside the bathroom, his anxiety growing by the second as he waited for Aaru to come out. Meanwhile, the three elders in the living room were just as restless, their excitement palpable.

They had been dreaming of a grandchild for years, even though they adored Aryan. Aryan, was always mature beyond his years, was more of a responsible young man than a mischievous child, and while they cherished him, the thought of having a little one running around the mansion again filled them with anticipation.
