Two days later, Vihaansh and Siyanshi were finally discharged from the hospital and brought back home. The house, which had felt heavy and tense for days, was now filled with warmth and relief. Everyone fussed over them, constant check-ins, gentle scoldings, extra pillows, and endless concern wrapped in love. Yet, amid all this affection, Vaidaksh and Rudravika maintained a quiet, almost stern distance. Their silence wasn’t born out of anger but fear, fear that still lingered in their hearts after almost losing the two most precious people in their lives.

Both Vihaansh and Siyanshi were stable now and recovering well, though one thing they were thoroughly fed up with was the bland, tasteless food that had become a strict part of their recovery routine. Being doctors, Krithvik and Vaidaksh were uncompromising when it came to their diet. Every meal was measured, every ingredient chosen carefully, and every craving firmly denied, for their own good, of course.
