Recap:  Vivaan Marries Maya and the doctor operate Maya

*

After eight long hours of unconsciousness due to the effects of the medicine, Maya slowly opened her eyes. The nurse noticed her movement and immediately informed the doctor, who arrived at the ICU within minutes. She also informed those waiting outside, who had been anxiously hoping for Maya to regain consciousness. Though relieved, everyone felt nervous—uncertain of what Maya would remember and how she would react.

The doctor entered the ICU and checked her vitals. Everything seemed stable. He pulled a chair next to her bed and began gently.

"Hello, Ms. Maya. Can you hear me?"

Maya gave a faint nod.

"Good. How do you feel?" he asked.

"Good," she whispered.

"Fine. Whom do you want to meet, Maya?"

"Vi... Vi... Viva... Vivaan," she replied, her voice soft and fragile.

"Who is he?" the doctor asked, leaning forward.

"Love..." Maya murmured.

"And who else do you remember?"

"Dad... Brother..."

"I'll call Vivaan. But don't strain yourself. He'll visit for a few minutes and then leave. You need rest. Is that okay?"

"Okay..." Maya nodded.

The doctor stepped out, and everyone rushed toward him.

"How is she, doctor?" Naren asked anxiously.

"She's doing good. She remembers only her father, brother, and Vivaan."

Aryan and Naren exhaled in relief and hugged each other.

"She wants to meet Vivaan," the doctor added.

"I'll meet her," Vivaan said, stepping forward.

"Remember, don't go into much detail. Just speak a few comforting words and come out. She needs more rest."

"Sure," Vivaan nodded.

Aryan and Naren patted his shoulder and reminded him, "No detailed talks. Just keep it light."

Vivaan entered the room quietly. Maya's eyes welled up with tears as soon as she saw him. He sat next to her, held her hand gently, and kissed her knuckles.

"I love you. How do you feel?" he asked softly.

"Good. What happened to me?" Maya blinked at him.

"Nothing serious, just an accident. But you're safe now, and back with me."

"Love you..." she murmured.

Vivaan's eyes welled up. He was unable to hold back his tears after hearing those words.

"Don't strain yourself. I'm just outside. You need to rest now," he said.

"Stay with me," Maya pleaded.

"I'll be right outside. Doctor said I can't stay long. But I'll come often to see you," he reassured her.

He kissed her forehead and left the room. Once outside, he hugged Naren.

"She told me she loves me," he said, overwhelmed. Everyone felt joy and relief hearing that.

Naren turned to the others. "You all have waited long enough. Please go home and rest."

Everyone agreed and left—except Pavi, who insisted on staying. Vivaan also chose to remain.

Later that night, Aryan returned home. Sanju was already asleep. He moved quietly, freshened up, and went down to eat a little dinner. Returning to the bedroom, he lay next to Sanju and hugged her from behind. She stirred awake slightly.
