"Can I come with you, Maasi Maa, for shopping?" Shwet asked.

Swati smiled, placed her hand on his head, and said, "No, beta, not now. You try on that suit for now, okay?"

Saying this, she took Shivaay's hand and led him away. Meanwhile, the three of them watched Swati leave. Abhinav didn't understand what was going on, Shwet looked a little sad, and Shweta was lost in her own thoughts.

Swati kept walking, holding Shivaay's hand tightly. Her grip was so firm that Shivaay understood her situation just from the way she held his hand. He also clasped her hand tightly and came to a stop.

When he stopped, Swati turned and looked at him, then at her hand, which was still gripping his tightly. She was about to let go when Shivaay pulled her close and hugged her. For a moment, Swati was startled, but the next moment, she began to pull away. However, Shivaay tightened his grip. One of his hands was around her waist, and with the other, he gently stroked her hair, saying, "Don't be so harsh, Swati. Why are you being so heartless with yourself?"

Hearing this, Swati's eyes filled with tears. She stopped struggling and held Shivaay tightly, burying her face in his chest. She said, "If you want to hug me, do it without saying anything, without asking any questions."

Hearing her sobbing voice, Shivaay said nothing more and just hugged her tighter. After a while, Shivaay gently pushed Swati a little away from him and lifted her face with his hands. There were still tears in her eyes. Shivaay cupped her face with both hands, fixed her hair, and wiped her tears, saying, "You know, Swati, you're not just breaking your own heart; you're breaking Shwet's too. He can't stay apart from you, he can't forget you. So why do you want him to be separated from you?"

Swati responded, "Because until he distances himself from me, he won't be able to go to Shweta and Abhinav. I have to distance myself from him so that he can accept them."

Hearing this, Shivaay was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Swati, Shwet can never forget you. No matter how hard you try, he can never be separate from you, because to him, you're not just his mother. You're not just his family; you're his whole world. His whole world revolves around you. Since the moment he became conscious, since the moment he opened his eyes, you were with him. You've been everything to him – mother, father, brother, sister, teacher. You taught him good values, protected him from everything. So tell me, Swati, how will he forget you?"

Swati said, "So what should I do? I don't want to break Shwet's heart. My child, my child is sad because of me, and I can't do anything about it. I don't know what to do. On one side is my Chiku, who loves me, and on the other side is my sister, who's been separated from her child for so many years. What should I do? I don't know whose happiness to prioritize. If I think about Shwet's happiness, he will be separated from his mother. If I think about Shweta's happiness, my Chiku's innocent heart will break. What should I do, Shivaay? What should I do?"

As she said this, tears flowed continuously from Swati's eyes. She laid her head on Shivaay's chest. Shivaay had no answer to give her. He didn't know what to do. Many of the things Swati said were true; one person's happiness would surely ruin another's. He just hugged Swati tightly and began stroking her back.

After some time, when Swati had expressed all her thoughts and felt lighter, she pulled away from Shivaay. She wiped her tears and said, "I'm sorry. Come on, let's buy what you need. It's getting late, and I have to get back to the shop." As she began to walk away, Shivaay grabbed her hand from behind and said, "You're breaking my heart too, Swati."
