Rajveer and Naina worked tirelessly to complete all the formalities in Shimla, ensuring every detail was addressed with precision. Their unwavering dedication to justice paid off, especially with the support of Lala Gehlot. Thanks to his influence and connections, the judicial process was expedited.

Vasundhara Raheja's hearing, which could have dragged on for months, was fast-forwarded. The evidence against her was overwhelming, leaving no room for doubt. The court found her guilty of the murder of Sujal Garewal and the attempted murder of Major Rajveer Singh Shikhawat. When the judge pronounced her sentence—20 years of imprisonment—there was a sense of bittersweet relief. Justice had been served, but it could never truly erase the loss and pain caused by her actions for Sujal's family.

True to his nurturing and protective nature, Rajveer couldn't stand to see a family unraveling in the wake of tragedy. Watching Rishi silently grieve for his older brother, Rajveer instinctively stepped into the role of an elder sibling. Wrapping Rishi in a warm, reassuring hug, Rajveer declared, "You may have lost one brother, but you've gained another. I'll always be here for you."

Veena and Chetan, shattered by the loss of Sujal, were on the brink of falling apart. Seeing their pain, Rajveer approached them with heartfelt sincerity. "Maa, Dad," he said softly, "you treated me like a son even before all this. Let me officially take on that role. I'll be here as your son whenever you need me." His words brought fresh tears to their eyes, but this time, they were tears of comfort and hope.

The emotional moment lingered, with Veena silently holding Naina's hand, grateful for the strength she and Rajveer had brought into their home. Meanwhile, Chetan and Rishi sat down for a much-needed discussion about their future. With Chetan having sold his share of R&G Group amidst the turmoil, the family's primary connection to Shimla was now Rishi's thriving music company.

As they discussed their options, Rajveer joined the conversation, offering guidance and support. The consensus was clear: it was time to leave behind the memories that haunted their home in Shimla. They decided to relocate to Delhi, where they could start afresh while staying close to Rajveer and Naina.

For the Shikhawat family, it was nothing short of Diwali—joy and celebration filled every corner of their home. Their very own Ram and Sita were finally coming back, victorious after defeating destiny's cruel plans. Garima stood at the doorway, her face glowing with pride and happiness, holding an aarti thali in her hands. Her son and daughter-in-law had returned home, safe and sound, after overcoming unimaginable challenges.

As Rajveer and Naina's car pulled up in front of the grand house, a wave of excitement rippled through the crowd gathered to greet them. The air buzzed with cheerful chatter and excited whispers. Inside the car, Rajveer glanced at Naina, his eyes twinkling with relief and love. "Ready?" he asked with a grin. Naina smiled back, nodding. Together, they stepped out of the car and were immediately enveloped by the warmth of their family's love.

Garima stepped forward, performing their aarti with a wide smile on her face, her hands steady despite the emotion threatening to overwhelm her. As she finished, Madhumati rushed in with a silver plate and a small bundle of green chilies and lemons. "Wait!" she called, stopping the couple in their tracks. "I need to take off the evil eye first! Can't have my bahu and beta facing any more trouble!" She circled the plate around them with exaggerated drama, mumbling prayers under her breath while everyone laughed at her antics.

"Done! Now you can step inside," Madhumati declared with a triumphant grin, stepping aside to let them enter. As soon as they crossed the threshold, the house erupted into cheers, claps, and hugs. The day felt like a festival, and the Shikhawat family had only one priority—spending time with their beloved Rajveer and Naina.
