Everyone was still in shock from Karan's announcement. Jash's face was stern, his eyes narrowed in disapproval.
"What's the meaning of this, Karan?" he asked, his voice firm.
"What's wrong with what I just said? Samara and I are having a baby, simple."Karan shrugged, nonchalantly.
"Do you realize that you have a wife already?" Roshni quarreled.
Karan rolled his eyes, his expression dismissive. Arya's face remained calm, but her eyes betrayed a hint of sadness. She held firm to Grandma Viti's hand, trying to calm her down, as she could see the anger in her eyes.
Karan continued, his voice unrepentant. "Please, everyone will have to treat Samara well in this house. Soon I will be making her my official wife."
"Congratulations, Samara, I am so happy for you." Sonia said, smiling at her.
"You are welcome to stay."Kiara and Sai chimed in, their voices insincere.
Grandma Viti stood up, her eyes flashing with anger, with Arya's help. She glared at Karan for a moment before storming out of the room, Arya leading her to her room.
Roshni and Jash also stood up, their faces stern, and left the living room.
Gian's wife smiled warmly at Samara. "Come on, Samara, come have a seat."
Samara smiled, looking relieved, and moved to sit next to her.
"You are highly welcome to stay here."Gian said.
"Karan, can I talk to you for a moment?"Ved stood up, his eyes serious
Karan nodded, and they moved away from the others, their faces somber.
"What is it you wanna talk about?" he asked Ved.
"What do you think you are doing? Bringing another woman into our home, what nonsense games are you playing at?"
"This isn't nonsense, Ved. Everyone knows Samara has always been the woman I want to marry, and now the gods have given me another chance to be together."
"This is stupidity! You have a wife already."
"She is not my wife! Grandma married her, not me. We may have done the ritual right, but she still isn't my wife."
Ved's eyes narrowed, his expression disapproving. "Do you really think Grandma will accept this? Look, you are just bringing problems to yourself."
"Grandma will accept her when she knows the kind of person Samara is. I can't abandon my child when I know I have a home."
"I just hope you don't regret this tomorrow." He walked away, leaving Karan standing alone.
Meanwhile, Arya, Roshni, and Jash were trying to ease Grandma Viti's anger.
"Calm down, Mom," Jash said, his expression soothing.
"I know Karan is not himself right now. Let's leave him to do what he wants. With time, he will realize his mistake," Roshni said.
"Karan is daring me. Did I do wrong in trying to make his future better?" She said.
"You didn't, Grandma. Don't stress yourself about it." Arya said calmly.
"You don't want me to be stressed about it? You are his wife, and you deserve the right."Grandma Viti said sadly.
"I know, Grandma, but right now, he is home with the woman he truly loves, and they are having a baby soon. I don't want to stand in his way. If this is what he wants, let him be."
"Why are you talking like that, child? No matter what, you are still my daughter-in-law, the one we chose for Karan." Jash said.
"And I am proud to have you all as my family. Karan and I may be somehow departed, but I promise to always see you as my family."
Roshni's eyes welled up with tears. "We love you, Arya, and we will support whatever decision you make."
"Thank you, Mom." She turned to Grandma Viti, "Grandma, I have made a decision to get a divorce."
The room fell silent, with everyone's mouths agape in shock.
"No, child, please don't do this," grandma Viti said, her voice trembling.
The rest of the family nodded in agreement, their faces somber.
"You just clocked a month on your wedding with Karan," Roshni said.
"I know, Mom, Karan and I need to go our separate ways. He never sees me as his wife, and the best is to let go and find something to do with my life."
"I believe you, child. It's our fault this happened." Jash said.
"I am so sorry I failed your father. I couldn't hold our friendship stronger."Grandma Viti's eyes overflowed with tears, her face was consumed by regret.
"You didn't, Grandma. I am still your granddaughter, no matter what happened. You will still be my grandma."
The family smiled weakly at her, their faces etched with sadness.
"Karan is such a fool to have not seen a virtuous woman that the heavens have blessed him with. I pray he doesn't regret this later."Grandma Viti said.
"Thank you, Arya, thank you for being such a lovely daughter. You will always be my daughter, no matter who you choose to end up with."Roshni said, her eyes welling up with tears.
The family gathered around Arya, embracing her in a group hug. Arya's face crumpled, her eyes streaming with tears.
"Thank you for supporting me," she sniffed, her voice trembling.

Arya entered the room, her eyes scanning the space before landing on Samara, who was lounging on the bed, operating her phone. Karan was in the bathroom, taking a shower. Arya's expression remained neutral as she moved to the closet to get her clothes. Samara stared at Arya, a mixture of curiosity and hostility on her face.
"Hey," she said, her voice dripping with insincerity.
Arya ignored her, focusing on gathering her clothes. Samara's expression turned sour, her eyes narrowing.
"I don't think we have introduced ourselves earlier," Samara said, her voice unfriendly. "Well, I guess you must be Karan's forced wife."
"Yes, nice to meet you too."She said warmly.
Samara scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, whatever. I just want to be polite here. It will be best if you go back to your father's house since Karan doesn't want you, and his official wife is here." She smirked, her eyes glinting with triumph.
"Don't worry, I am not going to cause any trouble between you two. You are welcome here. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Samara. Good night."
She smiled and walked away, leaving Samara staring after her, confused.
"Why isn't she bursting out in anger like other married women would do? She looks so calm and not claiming any right over Karan." She shrugged nonchalantly and continued with her phone.
Arya arrived at Maya's doorstep and knocked. Maya opened the door, surprised to see her.
"Arya," Maya called, paving the way for her to come in.
"I am sorry for invading your privacy, can I spend a night here, if you don't mind?"
"Why do you need permission, you are always welcome to sleep here anytime," she said, her voice filled with affection.
They sat down on the bed together.
"Thank you," Arya said, her voice soft.
Maya squeezed Arya's hands firmly. "It's fine," she said, her eyes filled with concern. "I know what you are going through. I am so sorry for what Karan is doing to you."
"It's okay, they forced him into it anyway. Everyone deserves a chance of happiness in life, and I wish him all that."
"It's such a shame Karan can't see the good woman in front of him. He is going to regret this."
"It's fine, with time, he will understand."
Maya's face softened, and she smiled back at Arya. They sat there for a moment, hands clasped, a sense of solidarity between them.
