"YRKKH-Aarohi's Enchanting Transformation"

28.A shoulder to cry on

As Aarohi entered the breakfast room, the warm aroma of freshly cooked kachoris and the chatter of her family greeted her. Seated around the table were all the family members, their faces filled with anticipation.

Vansh, noticing Aarohi's contemplative expression, asked, "Aaru, why the serious face? Don't you like kachoris today? Or would you prefer fruit salad instead?"

Aarohi's gaze drifted around the table, her hesitation palpable. She wanted to inquire about Boxing Academy, but uncertainty held her back.

"Nothing, bhaiya, just thinking about work," Aarohi replied.

Vansh nodded and placed a kachori on her plate,"Then eat, Aaru."

As Aarohi began to eat, the conversation around the table shifted to Akshu's upcoming wedding.

"Badepapa,I need to go to the designer for fittings," Akshu said.

Swarna asked,"Have you decided on a designer,beta?"

Akshu's response sparked interest."I'm thinking of giving the order to Mishti didi."

The room fell silent, with all eyes on Akshu.
in stunned surprise.

Riddhima leaned in, whispering in Aarohi's ear, "She's trying to win Bhaiya over through Mishti didi."

Aarohi's response was noncommittal."Maybe."

Akshara, oblivious to the tension, turned to Aarohi. "Aaru, can you accompany me?I need someone I trust, and you know Mishti didi well."

Aarohi hesitated."I have other commitments."

Swarna's curiosity was piqued. "What's keeping you busy, Aaru?"

I'll be busy the entire week,I am assisting in many surgeries,
Aarohi paused for a bit and  took a deep breath,"I want to ask about something."

Swarna encouraged her."Go on, Aaru beta."

Aarohi's voice trembled.
"What happened to Mumma's boxing academy?"

Manish's expression darkened. "How did you know about the academy?"

Aarohi explained, "I found a book in the locked room near terrace."

Manish's tone turned defensive. "Sirat started the academy without consulting us.We are a family with great value and traditions,Our family's girl going around and fighting with others,I never liked that,
After her accident, we couldn't manage it,
so we handed it over to her assistant."

Aarohi felt a surge of emotions,hearing those words.
Aarohi's voice cracked with emotion. "How could you, Badepapa? Mumma's academy was her dream. Didn't you value her aspirations? Do you know the value of a dream?
No,You care only about your reputation,Its all that matters to you?"

Her words dripped with pain and accusation. "You crushed her dream, Badepapa. Did you ever consider her part of this family? She gave everything, and what did she get in return? Ignorance and neglect."

Akshu stepped forward, attempting to soothe Aarohi's anguish.

Aarohi recoiled, her hand jerking away. "Please, Akshu, stay away.I dont need your concern."

Her eyes blazed with hurt and betrayal, warning Akshu to keep her distance.

Akshu's voice filled with concern. "Aaru, what's going on? I'm truly worried about you and your well-being."

Aarohi's retort was sharp. "This isn't about us, Akshu. It's about my mother."

Akshu's expression softened. "She's my mother too, Aaru. And I care deeply for you, even if you don't accept it."
