A new day begins in Airan Villa wrapped in an unsettling silence, the kind that feels heavy in the chest yet strangely comforting only because both brothers are still unaware of Takshvi’s first reaction after waking up. The entire villa appears calm from the outside, but beneath that fragile calmness, fear quietly lingers in every corner. Despite everything, they continue trying to keep the environment normal, forcing routine into the house as though nothing has changed, though their hearts refuse to cooperate with the act — especially Yuvaan’s.

For him, every passing second feels painfully slow. Sleep has long left his eyes, replaced only by restless anxiety and a fear so deep that even breathing normally feels difficult. His gaze remains fixed on Takshvi almost constantly, watching the slightest movement she makes in her sleep as if preparing himself for the moment she finally opens her eyes. Each time she turns unconsciously on the bed, his heart skips violently, panic instantly rising within him as though he is terrified of what her expression might hold once she wakes up.
