THE RULERS OF KHANSAAR ( slow updates )

Radha Rama's anger began to manifest in subtle ways. She avoided social gatherings and refrained from participating in family events. Her old demeanour came back and she became increasingly vocal about her grievances, though often in private.

Radha Rama : I don't see why Deva and Mythili deserve all this attention. They haven't done anything . Deva is equally to a ruthless butcher in my view. He is good for nothing except turning khansaar into a graveyard. Meanwhile, I'm struggling and no one seems to notice.

Obulamma : It's clear they don't appreciate what you've been through. And Varadha—he's too busy with his own affairs to care about his own setp-sister who always hated him.

As Radha Rama's feelings of resentment grew, her interactions with the family became more strained. She avoided direct confrontation, but her passive-aggressive behavior began to create an undercurrent of tension within the household.

Radha Rama : I won't let this go unnoticed. If they want to treat me like a second-class member of the family, I'll make sure they regret it.

...........

Obulamma, sensing Radha Rama's rising anger and seeing an opportunity to manipulate the situation for her own benefit, encouraged Radha Rama to make her grievances known. She subtly pushed Radha Rama towards taking actions that could stir trouble.

Obulamma : sometimes it's necessary to make your voice heard. Don't let them walk all over you. You deserve respect and acknowledgment for all that you're enduring."

Radha Rama : You're right. I've been too quiet for too long. It's time they understood what I'm going through and how they've neglected me.

As a couple of months passed, 

New chapters unfolded in many key people of khansaar. Radha Rama gave birth to a baby boy and bhaarava is slowly recovering from the impact he had on his body due to war. Romance between Deva and Mythili is growing as days passed. Deva's mother is happy for her son but something always made her heart to feel a pang. She just hoped that they will be happy forever. 

A new chapter was unfolding in Aarathi's life too. Her usual routine is  now included subtle but significant changes like morning sickness, heightened emotions, and a growing sense of anticipation. Despite her excitement, she wanted to make sure that the moment she shared the news of her pregnancy with Varadha was special. She planned to tell him when he was in a good mood, hoping it would enhance the joy of the announcement.

Aarathi : Tonight seems perfect. He's been in such a good mood lately. I just hope he'll be as excited as I am.

She told herself.

She waited for the right moment, observing Varadha as he went about his day. From last few weeks Varadha is extremely bussy and tensed. As evening approached, Varadha was in a little lighthearted mood. Aarathi decided it was the right time to share her news. She approached him, her heart racing with both excitement and a hint of anxiety.

Aarathi : Varadha, can we talk for a moment ? I have something important to share with you.

Varadha : Sure, Aarathi. What's up ? I've been so busy, I barely noticed time flying.

Varadha told by not even glancing at her. He is engrossed in checking some drafts.

Despite her anticipation, Varadha's distracted demeanor made Aarathi's heart sink a little. She had hoped for a more engaged response, and his apparent indifference stung.

Aarathi : It's nothing urgent. I'll just......

Aarathi tried to hide her disappointment. 

She retreated to their room, feeling the weight of the moment. Over the next few hours, Aarathi's mood shifted to one of quiet contemplation. She decided to give Varadha the silent treatment, her way of expressing her hurt without confrontation.

..............

Few days later Varadha noticed the change in her behaviour. He even got silent treatment from deva's mother too.

Varadha : Aarathi, why are you so distant ? Did I do something wrong ? 

He approached her, trying to bridge the gap that had suddenly appeared between them. His genuine concern and confusion prompted him to plead with her, his voice filled with a mix of concern and affection.

Varadha : Aarathi, please talk to me. I'm sorry if I upset you. I want to make things right.

Aarathi is  touched by his sincerity. She  allowed herself to be comforted. She glanced at him, her heart softened by his efforts. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer. With a gentle smile and a tear in her eye, she decided it was time to reveal the news she had been holding onto.

Aarathi : Varadha, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. I'm pregnant.

Varadha's face transformed from confusion to sheer, unbridled joy. His eyes widened, and his entire demeanor changed as the realization of the news sank in. He lifted Aarathi into his arms, spinning her around with excitement and elation.

Varadha : I'm going to be a father ! We're going to have a baby !

He shouted with joy. 

The sound of Varadha's jubilant squeals quickly attracted attention. Deva, Mythili, Baachi, and others who had heard the commotion rushed to their room. Their faces lit up with curiosity and joy as they entered to find Varadha and Aarathi in a state of ecstatic celebration.

Deva : What's going on here ? Did I hear Varadha shouting about becoming a father ?

Mythili : Is it true ? Aarathi, are you really pregnant ?

Varadha is still holding Aarathi in his arms. He  beamed with pride. He couldn't contain his happiness and proudly announced the news to everyone who had gathered.

Varadha : Yes, it's true ! Aarathi and I are expecting a baby ! I'm going to be a father ! 

The room erupted with cheers and congratulations. Everyone surrounded the couple, expressing their happiness and excitement for them. The air was filled with joy as they celebrated the wonderful news.

Baachi : Congratulations to both of you ! This is incredible news ! I am going to become uncle soon.

Deva : You both will make wonderful parents. I'm here to support you in every way I can.

Aarathi is still glowing with happiness. She looked around at the supportive faces of her loved ones.

Aarathi : We would love for all of you to be a part of this journey. Deva and Mythili, I hope you'll help us with parenting and guide the baby to grow up as wise individuals.

Deva : I'll be more than happy to spoil the little one with affection. Don't expect me to be strict with my niece / nephew. 

The room filled with laughter and affectionate teasing as everyone celebrated the new addition to their family. Deva's promise to spoil the child and the collective enthusiasm from the group created a warm, supportive environment for the couple.

As the celebration continued, Varadha and Aarathi found themselves surrounded by their loved ones, each moment strengthening the bonds between them. The future, now filled with the promise of new beginnings, was met with hopeful anticipation and shared joy.
