"Here I thought my brave Anu is back but it seems this Anu only likes to cry." Meghna jokes making Varenya to pull away from the hug and looks at her with a fake glare.
"See, I am not a cry baby but your brave baby." Varenya says wiping her tears.
"Of course you're my brave baby." Meghna replies getting emotional but clears her throat so that Varenya doesn't suspect anything.
"Come on now both of you sit together and have breakfast." Jivika remarks with a smile.
"What have you made, Angel?" Varenya asks getting excited because she loves Jivika's cooking.
"Suji Upma." Jivika replies sitting beside Shivansh.
"Wow, it's one of my favourite and you know Maa used to make it for my lunch box." Varenya says with a bright smile but then her smile fades away remembering that her mother is no more.
"Then I will make it frequently from now on." Jivika replies making Varenya to nods her head in response.
"By the way, where is Adwait?" Raghuvendra asks.
"He has gone to attend an important meeting." Shivansh replies as Adwait has informed him last night about the sudden meeting.
"He isn't taking care of himself properly for last few days. Neither eating on time nor taking proper rest." Aaradhya says feeling worried for Adwait.
"Many things have happened so suddenly that he needs time to blend with them. I am sure he will get into track very soon." Kavyansh says feeding Varenya who is already feeding Kiyansh.
"What happened with Dadabhai?" Varenya asks looking confused but Meghna looks surprised by hearing Varenya addressing Adwait as Dadabhai.
"He has been trying to crack a deal which was not happening for so many years. But now it seems things are finally happening the way it should be." Ritika replies while Varenya nods her head.
No one says anything after that and gets into having breakfast. Because everyone have their own reasons to be quiet. Varenya is thinking about asking Meghna about the people in the photo, Meghna is thinking about asking Kavyansh's help in finding Aditya, Kavyansh is thinking what his Lotus reaction will be after seeing the DNA report.
After breakfast, Aaradhya and Radhika takes Meghna to her room. Varenya tried to go with them but Kavyansh stopped her saying that he needs to show her the unfinished painting he has been working. The main reason to not leaving Varenya alone with Meghna is that, Varenya will ask Meghna about whatever happened six years ago and according to Dr. Bhavya it may put Varenya's health in risk. So, it's better for her to not talk about that horrible day for sometime or atleast till the reports come out. Because it won't be easy for Varenya to accept the truth but with proof, it will be a little less traumatic.
So, Kavyansh brings Varenya back to their room and shows her painting he hasn't completed yet. However, as soon as Varenya sees the painting she smiles noticing that this is the same painting she has seen before. But that time she didn't realise that the girl in the painting is actually her.
"So, how many paintings have you made of mine?" Varenya asks with an amused look on her face.
"2190 has been completed so this one is 2191 number." Kavyansh replies making Varenya's eyes widen in surprise because she wasn't expecting to hear this.
"6 years equals to 2191 days including one leap year and I have made paintings for each days with a hope that one day you'll return to me." Kavyansh says with a sigh as he remembers how much it used to hurt whenever he had to pick up the painting brush to draw his Lotus by imagining her face.
On the other hand, Varenya bites her lip to stop herself from crying. She has seen Kavyansh at his worst in the past, but it seems the darkest phase of his life was the time when she wasn't with him. So, she decides to cheer him up because she doesn't like seeing her Kavi's sad face.
Varenya wraps her arms around Kavyansh's waist and pulls him closer to her making him surprised. But before he can react or ask, Varenya puts her finger over his lips.
"Keep quiet or I have my favourite method to make you quiet." Varenya says looking at Kavyansh while wiggling her eyebrows.
"What if I want you to use your favourite method?" Kavyansh retorts making Varenya's eyes widen before she starts hitting him playfully in his arm.
"I will use that method only when I feel like it. I will not use it just because you tell me to do it." Varenya remarks and then suddenly kisses Kavyansh on his chin which makes him smile.
"And what about this one?" Kavyansh asks wrapping his arms around Varenya who snuggles closer to him.
"It's a small token. I will use my favourite method after you complete this painting." Varenya replies putting her chin Kavyansh's chest while looking at him with a mischievous smile.
"What is the big deal in that? I will complete it right now." Kavyansh says but Varenya shakes her head.
"Not so easily, Mr. Prince Charming. You have to complete the painting with a blindfold on your eyes." Varenya remarks and instantly a full blown smile spread over Kavyansh's face.
"Although I loved hearing you calling me Mister Prince. But I still kinda missed Mr. Prince Charming." Kavyansh says caressing Varenya's face who beams in happiness.
"Now you don't have to miss anything because I am not going anywhere. We will make new memories with eachother, with our son and our family." Varenya replies making Kavyansh to nod his head in response.
"We will definitely make bunch of memories which will be filled with only happiness and love." By saying this Kavyansh kisses Varenya on her forehead making her close her eyes.

Adwait bids goodbye to the clients after the meeting ends and then comes back in his cabin only to find Ritika sitting on his chair. He doesn't say anything and keeps his phone on the desk before he goes to the washroom. When he comes back he notices that Ritika isn't in the chair anymore making him look around the cabin.
"Thank you." He hears and looks at the way to see that Ritika is taking something from his PA's hands.
"What's this?" Adwait asks as soon as Ritika close the door.
"Loaded Maxican Pizza, your alltime favourite." Ritika replies cheerfully taking out the pizza box from the paper bag.
"I don't want to eat anything, Tweety." Adwait says making Ritika to sigh.
"You didn't eat dinner last night and Jivi told me that you left this morning without even having your favourite Masala Chai. So, now don't dare to tell me that you're not going to eat this pizza. Because if you don't, then I will forcefully shove this pizza down your throat." Ritika orders pointing her finger at Adwait who nods his head in response knowing well that arguing with Ritika won't help.
"Here, open your mouth." By saying this Ritika holds a slice of pizza in front of Adwait's mouth who looks at her for a second and then takes a small bite from the slice.
Ritika then takes a bite from the same slice and does a little dance as she too likes this pizza a lot. Actually, it's her who first tried this pizza years ago and then suggested to Adwait who instantly became a fan of it.
"This doesn't taste same like the last time we have it." Adwait remarks as Ritika feeds him again and then she eats.
"It's from a newly opened restaurant. But I don't think this one is that bad." Ritika says going to open a packet of chilli flakes but when the packet doesn't open, she pulls it a little harshly which makes the packet to open fully spreading chilli flakes here and there. However, Ritika lets out a hiss of pain as some chilli flakes goes into her eyes in the process.
"Tweety, shh let me see." Adwait says holding Ritika's face who isn't sitting still.
"Be still or I will bind you to my chair." Adwait warns sternly which makes Ritika to stop moving.
Adwait then blows air on Ritika's eyes making her shiver and instantly she holds onto his biceps. Tears are streaming down her eyes as the irritation and pain is becoming unbearable. But the air blow is giving her relief.
"Come on, hold my hands and let's go to the washroom. You need to rinse your face with cold water to get rid of the flakes." Adwait says and wraps his left hand around Ritika's waist while with right hand, he holds her hand to give her proper support.
Both walk inside the washroom and Adwait helps Ritika to splash cold water on her face for some minutes. Adwait then hands a clean towel to Ritika who wipes her face but still her eyes are having a little irritation, not much that she can't handle.
"Why can't you be a little careful? See now your eyes are fully red because of irritation." Adwait scolds after they come out of the washroom while Ritika looks at him with a sheepish smile.
"You were telling me that you aren't liking the pizza that much. So, I thought that if I put more chilli flakes on the pizzaI then you might enjoy eating it." Ritika replies making Adwait to hit himself on the forehead.
"I don't even know what I should tell you now." Adwait says looking at Ritika with a defeated look.
"Nothing much, just always stay my cheerful and happy Scooby-Doo." By saying this Ritika pinches Adwait's cheeks making him chuckle.
Just then Ritika's phone starts ringing so she excuses herself and goes towards the desk where her purse is. Meanwhile, Adwait picks up another slice of pizza and takes a big bite because if he doesn't finish it then his Tweety may do something else to make him happy which can result into making her get hurt in the procedure.
"Okay, we are coming." Adwait hears Ritika to say this in the phone making him look at her with a questioning look.
"Samarth Bhai has collected the DNA reports." Ritika says making Adwait to take a deep breath.
🦋
Samarth has collected the DNA reports from the clinic and now he is on the way to the Rathore palace. He hasn't seen the report because like others, he is nervous as well. So, he wants to see the reports with everyone. Soon, he arrives in the palace and as soon as he walks into the family room, he finds everyone waiting for him.
"What's going on?" Varenya asks looking at everyone's nervous faces. She is being told by Kavyansh that Samarth has to say something important. So, they need to be present together.
"Yes, even I want to know." Meghna says as she too doesn't have any idea about the DNA tests.
Samarth then looks at Kavyansh who nods his head in response for him to go ahead. So, Samarth takes out the reports from his coat's pocket and first open the DNA report of Meghna and Adwait. He reads everything carefully in his mind and let's out a sigh looking at Adwait who is already staring at him. Samarth simply nods his head clarifying that their assumption about Adwait being Aditya is true according to the report.
On the other hand, Adwait feels like he doesn't know what to do next. He has been waiting for the reports to arrive and now that the report has finally arrived, he isn't able to think properly. The guilt of not able to save his father, calling his mother a murderer and finally not being able to understand his connection with his sister is making his mind a total mess.
"What is it, Sam?" Varenya asks pointing at the papers in Samarth's hands.
"It's something which we have been waiting to know." Samarth replies and goes where Adwait is sitting. He puts his hand on Adwait's shoulder making him look at him.
"See it for yourself." By saying this Samarth puts the report in Adwait's hand who is looking scared.
"Do it, Adwait." Shivansh says with an assuring tone squeezing Adwait's hand.
Adwait slowly nods his head and then looks at the report thoroughly. He then looks at the percentage of match in his and Meghna, where it's written that their DNA is matching by 99.9%. Instantly, he grips the paper in his hands as the rage is taking over his pain.
"I will kill them." Adwait says as his eyes become red with the amount of rage flowing through him.
"Calm down, Scooby-Doo." Ritika says getting worried but Adwait shakes his head in response.
"I can't calm down. They have killed my father, they have made my mother's life hell, they have made me live like an orphan, they have tried to kill my sister. I will not calm down till I kill each one them." Adwait remarks angrily and gets up from the couch. But before he can walk away, he gets stopped by Meghna.
"Who are you?" Meghna asks looking at Adwait's back. Because whatever he just said can't be a coincidence and she has clearly heard him say that he has to live like an orphan. But why? He is Jivika's older brother, then why he will live like an orphan. Not only that, why his story seems so similar to what she has gone through.
Adwait gulps while tears blurs his eyes and he isn't able to stop them from flowing. He takes a deep breath and then turns around to face his mother who is looking at him with uncertainty. He then walks near her and gets on his knees making her surprise.
"I am Adwait Singhania." Adwait replies as he holds Meghna's hands.
"Yes, I know your name. But why are you calling yourself orphan? You are Jivika's brother, right?" Meghna asks looking at Adwait who is crying silently.
"Yes, I am Jivika's brother. But I am not her biological brother." Adwait replies making Meghna's hands tremble.
"I was left into the orphanage that comes under this Rathore family by my parents when I was only 3 years old and they told the caretaker that my name is Adwait Singhania." A gasp leave past Meghna's lips as she connects the dots.
"And now after 27 years later I have finally learnt about my parents who are none other than Darshit Singhania and Meghna Singhania." Adwait says putting the DNA report on his mother's lap who is unable to say anything. Because she can't believe what she is hearing. Her long lost son has been staying in front of her for so many days but she hasn't been able to recognize him.
Meghna still picks up the paper with her trembling fingers and looks closely to confirm what Adwait is saying. As soon as she sees the 99.9%, she burst into loud cries while wrapping his arms around Adwait. Meghna's body starts shaking with how hard she is crying because she is still processing that she is embracing her son, her Adi after so many years.
"If Dadabhai is Mamoni's son then where is her daughter?" Varenya asks while everyone gets alert.
