Gauri stood frozen after hearing Rajiv's words.

Gauri: “What do you mean? Who knows that I found you?”

Rajiv looked toward the window nervously.

Rajiv: “The same people who kept us apart for years.”

Aryan stepped forward.

Aryan: “Rajiv uncle, you need to tell us everything.”

Rajiv sighed.

Rajiv: “Twenty-five years ago, I discovered something about a business deal involving Aryan's father. Before I could expose the truth, I was threatened.”

Gauri looked at Aryan.

Gauri: “And what happened to my mother?”

Rajiv's eyes filled with pain.

Rajiv: “Your mother tried to protect you. She believed the only way to keep you safe was to let another family raise you.”

Gauri wiped her tears.

Gauri: “So she gave me away?”

Rajiv: “No, beta. She sacrificed her happiness so you could survive.”

Suddenly, the lights in the house went out.

Gauri grabbed Aryan's arm.

Gauri: “Aryan…”

A loud sound came from outside.

Aryan immediately moved in front of Gauri.

Aryan: “Stay behind me.”

Rajiv rushed to the window.

A black car was parked outside.

Rajiv: “They're here.”

Aryan looked at him.

Aryan: “Who?”

Rajiv whispered:

Rajiv: “The person who destroyed our family.”

Suddenly, a phone was thrown through the window.

It landed on the floor in front of them.

The screen lit up.

A message appeared:

“You should never have reunited.”

Gauri's face went pale.

Aryan clenched his fists.

Aryan: “Nobody is going to hurt Gauri.”

Rajiv looked at him seriously.

Rajiv: “Aryan… protecting her may mean putting your own life at risk.”

Aryan looked at Gauri.

Without hesitation, he replied—

Aryan: “Then I'll take that risk.”

Gauri looked at him, tears in her eyes.

But outside the house, someone was already watching them.
