[Scene: Goenka Mansion, morning. The family is gathered in the living room, pampering Akshara. Mimi and Manish are doting on her, while others look on.]
Mimi: "Akshara, you must take care of yourself. You've been through so much."
Manish: "Yes, beta. We're all here for you. Just say the word, and it's done."
[Kairav enters, observing the scene with a stern expression. He walks up to Akshara.]
Kairav: "Akshara, we have to talk?"
Akshara: (feigning surprise) "Of course, bhayya . What is it?"
Kairav: (voice firm) "I know what you've been doing. Trying to separate Aarohi and Arjun, using your schemes and lies."

[The family looks shocked. Manish steps forward.]
Manish: "Kairav, what are you talking about?"
Kairav: "Bade papa, Akshara has been manipulating you. She used your love and trust to try and destroy Aarohi's happiness. She created false evidence, twisted facts, and tried to instill doubt between Aarohi and Arjun."
[The room goes silent. Akshara's eyes widen, and she starts to cry.]
Akshara: (sobbing) "Bhayya , how can you say that? I was only trying to protect Aarohi. I thought she was making a mistake with Arjun."
Swarna : (angry) "Enough, Akshara. Is this true? You were using manish ji to fulfill your own desires?"
Akshara: (crying harder) "bade papa badi ma, please, you have to understand. I only wanted what was best for Aarohi."
Kairav: "Best for Aarohi? Or best for yourself? Your actions almost destroyed her. She deserves happiness, and so does Arjun. You have no right to interfere in her life.
Manish: (disappointed) "Akshara, I can't believe you would stoop to such levels. You've broken my trust."
Akshara: (pleading) "Dad, please, don't say that. I never meant to hurt anyone. I love Aarohi."
Kairav: "If you really loved her, you wouldn't have done this. I'm warning you, Akshara. Stay out of Aarohi's life. If you continue with your schemes, I will have only one sister-Aarohi. And you will not have a brother "
[Akshara looks angry while Manish and the rest of the family stand in silence. Kairav walks out, leaving Akshara ]
Kairav's Mind Voice : I can't believe this is happening. Akshara, my own sister, using our father's trust to manipulate and hurt Aarohi. How could she be so selfish? Aarohi has been through enough. She finally found happiness with Arjun, and Akshara tried to take that away. I need to protect Aarohi. I've already failed her once by not being there. I won't let that happen again. If Akshara tries to interfere one more time, I'll have no choice but to cut ties with her. Aarohi deserves peace, and I'll make sure she gets it, no matter what.
