“Inayat!” she exclaimed, hugging her tightly, then her gaze shifted to Poornima’s belly.

“Now 8th month, beta… don’t take stress.”

Her tone wasn’t commanding.

It was caring.

Poornima smiled softly, touching her belly unconsciously.

Veeresh stood there quietly watching the scene — his mother smiling, Inayat narrating London stories excitedly, Poornima glowing in that warmth.

Something inside him felt settled.

Leelavati cupped Poornima’s face gently.

“You have changed this house,” she whispered. “Now just focus on yourself and the baby.”

Ajay nodded from behind, proud but silent as always.

Veeresh walked closer and placed his hand firmly at Poornima’s back, steadying her without making it obvious.

“Come inside,” he said calmly, but his grip tightened slightly as if reminding her — I am here.

It felt complete.
