Precap: With that, Anupamaa hurried back to her house to change, feeling a flicker of excitement about finally meeting Kanha. Meanwhile, Samar had returned home just in time to hear about his mother's frantic day. He was eager to see her reaction after meeting Kanha but quickly learned about the unexpected turn of events. They now headed towards Anuj's place.

As Anupamaa and Samar quietly entered Anuj's home, they halted near the door, watching the heartwarming reunion unfold in front of them. Anuj's son was already there, his back turned towards the doorway, facing his father with an animated smile. Anupamaa and Samar couldn't see his face, but they could feel the warmth and excitement radiating from their conversation.

Anuj's joy was evident, his voice laced with emotions as he spoke to his son. Anupamaa's heart softened at the sight of Anuj so fulfilled, and Samar stood by, absorbing the rare moment, a grin stretching across his face. They watched silently, not wanting to interrupt, yet Anupamaa's curiosity grew with every passing moment. She felt a mix of anticipation and happiness at finally seeing the young man she had heard so much about.

Unaware of their presence, Anuj continued speaking with his son, who seemed to be completely engrossed, laughing and nodding as he listened. There was a rare ease and energy in the room, a reflection of the strong bond they shared. Both Anupamaa and Samar exchanged glances, holding back their eagerness to step forward, letting this precious reunion moment linger a little longer.

Anuj's eyes scanned the stack of large and small boxes piled neatly, a curious smile tugging at his lips as he watched his son.

"Kya hai yeh chaar-paanch itne bade bade boxes mei kya laaya hai tum, Bachcha?" he asked, a hint of amusement in his voice.

Kanha grinned, his face lighting up with a mix of excitement and mystery. "Offo, papa!! Obvious hai, gifts...!" He emphasized, holding up the smallest box, though it was still impressively large. "Isme sirf ek aapka hai..." With a gleam of excitement, he presented it to Anuj. Then, with a quick, warm glance toward Anargya, he selected another box, extending it toward her. "Yeh tumhareliye, Anu..." He walked over to GK kaka and, with a respectful nod, handed him another. "Aur yeh aapkeliye, kaka..."

Anuj chuckled, his curiosity piqued as he glanced at the remaining unopened packages. "Aur yeh... 2 bade boxes aur 4 chote boxes mei kya hai?"

Kanha's smile softened with nostalgia as he looked at the larger boxes. "Haa, voh hi surprise tha... lekin pata nahi, nahi milpaaye..."

"Kya matlab?" Anuj inquired with genuine curiosity.

Kanha looked thoughtful, casting his gaze downward before looking back at his father. "Arey papa... jab mei 3 saal India mein tha... usme se 2 saal toh Ahmedabad mein hi tha na. I told you about the friends I made here, the ones I'd visit often. Unme se ek dost tha, bohot close ho gaya tha mujhe. Unke ghar bhi regularly jaata tha aur family bhi bahut hi close ban gayi thi. Maine aapse bataya tha..."

Anuj's brows knitted in recognition. "Haan... yaad hai... tu toh bas itna hi bolta tha ke us ladke ki family ko help kar raha hai."

Kanha nodded, his voice tender with the warmth of those memories. "Haan... wahi. Uske gharwale bhi mere bohot hi close ho gaye the... toh unke liye yeh sab gifts laya hoon. Waise unke ghar gaya tha lekin mera dost ya uske mummy dono hi ghar par nahi the... warna unko leke aata mein yahaan..." He gave a small shrug, but his eyes held a hint of wistfulness.

Anuj patted his son on the back gently, understanding his feelings. "Ohh, achcha... toh baad mein miladena, jab bhi unse milna ho."

Kanha gave a small nod and, with a change in his tone, asked, "Haan... waise, aapne kaha tha aap apni Anu se baat-cheet mei hain. Toh ab tak aayi nahi kya?"
