"Kuch toh tha us pehli mulaqaat me,
Har kisi ka chehra dekh dil behek toh nahi jaata,
Sansein tham si toh nahi jaati"

In Kartavya and Savisha's room,

The couple sat comfortably on the bed, with Kartavya gently feeding Savisha, his movements full of tenderness. Once they finished their dinner, they changed into comfortable clothes and returned to the bed, seeking the warmth of each other's presence. Savisha snuggled into Kartavya, resting her head on his chest, listening to the soothing rhythm of his heartbeat. Kartavya wrapped his arms protectively around her, holding her close as though shielding her from the world. 

Both were glowing with happiness, their smiles reflecting the love and excitement they shared for the new chapter in their lives. Savisha idly played with Kartavya's fingers, tracing little patterns and occasionally intertwining their hands. Kartavya kissed the top of her head softly.

Savisha: "Avya"

Kartavya: "Yess Mahiya."

Savisha: "Vaisa kuch dobara nahi hoga na??"
(Something like that won't happen again, right?)

Kartavya tightened his grip around Savisha, pulling her even closer into his embrace, as if shielding her from the world. His warmth enveloped her, offering comfort and security.

Kartavya: "Vo meri galti thi Isha, main Vada karta hu ab aisa nahi hoga."
(That was my mistake, Isha. I promise it won't happen again.)

Savisha: "Aapki galti nahi thi Avya, shayad yahi likha tha humari kismat me."
(It wasn't your fault, Avya. Maybe this was just written in our fate.)

A lone tear escaped from both their eyes, reflecting the overwhelming emotions they shared in the quiet intimacy of the moment. After a few minutes of comfortable silence, Savisha gently broke it.

Savisha: "Jo humare sath hua vo Ruhi aur Rudraa ke sath nahi hoga na, Avya??"
(What happened to us won't happen to Ruhi and Rudraa, right, Avya?)

Kartavya: "Kabhi nahi Mahiye kabhi nahi, Main akela tha, Rudraa nahi, uske sath main hu, hum sab hai kuch nahi hoga vaisa."
(Never, Mahiye, never. I was alone, but Rudraa isn't. He has me and all of us. Nothing like that will happen.)

Savisha smiled.

Savisha: "Avya, kya hum London jaana cancel kar sakte hai?? Main chahti hu humara baby India me hi janam le."
(Avya, can we cancel going to London? I want our baby to be born in India.)

Kartavya: "Jaisa tum kaho Mahiye, vaise bhi tumhara gift bhi pending hai but aapne jo diya hai uske samne mera gift kuch nahi and anyways aise me travelling is not good."
(As you wish, Mahiye. Besides, your gift is still pending, but honestly, what you've given me already is beyond anything I could give. And anyway, traveling in such a state isn't good.)

Savisha looked up at Kartavya and a broad smile spread across her face. Her expression radiated pure joy and love, as if silently expressing everything she felt in her heart without needing words.

Kartavya: "Meri beti yahi janam legi."
(My daughter will be born here.)

Savisha playfully slapped Kartavya's chest.

Savisha: "Avyyaaaaa"

Kartavya chuckled softly at her and his eyes filled with adoration. Leaning down, he placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Kartavya: "Achcha achcha humara beta bhi ho sakta hai."
(Fine, fine. It could be our son too.)

Savisha: "Better"
