With Akash's genuine attempt to mend his ways, the atmosphere in the Suryavanshi household began to shift. The tension that had clouded their home was gradually lifting, replaced by a cautious optimism.

Akash's commitment to change was evident in his actions. He spent more time working closely with Adwait, learning from his brother's calm and strategic approach to business. Akash's previous bitterness was replaced by a newfound respect for Adwait's leadership and dedication to the family.

"Adwait ji , have you noticed how much Akash has changed?" Ishani asked, her eyes meeting his in the mirror.

Adwait nodded, his expression thoughtful. "Yes, I have. It's a good start. But he still has a long way to go."

Ishani sighed, her eyes reflecting a mix of hope and concern. "I just hope he stays on this path. For Meghna's sake, and for the baby."

Adwait walked over to her, his gaze softening. He placed his hands gently on her shoulders. " I told you one day he will understand. He was not ready to face something like this and the immature part of him took over and which continued to fuel his anger and now finally he was started thinking."

Ishani turned to face him, her heart swelling with love. " Thank You I'm so grateful for you, Adwait ji . That day saved three lives, especially mine and Meghna's. You've been my rock through everything since the marriage."

Adwait smiled, his eyes filled with warmth. " Marrying you was the best decision I made in my life. And you, Ishani, are the light that guides me everything. "

As the weeks turned into months, everything started coming in right track.

Akash started taking care of his wife and slowly started falling in love with her.

"Meghna, I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I want you to know that I'm trying to be a better man. For you and for our baby."

Meghna looked at him, her eyes softening. "I can see that, Akash. And I'm willing to give us a chance. But you have to be patient. Trust takes time to rebuild."

Akash nodded, gratitude evident in his eyes. "I understand. Thank you, Meghna."

Akash continued to work hard to prove himself. His relationship with Meghna grew stronger, built on a foundation of understanding and mutual respect. The  family began to see the changes in Akash, which made them happy.

Akash stood beside Meghna, his hand resting on her now very prominent baby bump. He looked around at his family, feeling a sense of belonging that he had never truly appreciated before.

" Thank you, Meghna for stopping the marriage that day, I was going to destroy all of our lives, thanks for giving me another chance. I love you so much."

" I love you too Akash. I never had a family of my own and now I have a family who loves me like their own. "
