"Archit i won't be able to love you or accept you the way I loved him and accepted him!" She said to her best friend and fiancee.

She knew she'll never be able to love someone the way she had loved that man who chose to cheat her, betray her but she wanted to clear things with the man her mother had chosen for her, Archit Ahuja.

Pranati's world shattered as she stood before her mother, tears streaming down her face.

"Why?" Pranati demanded, her voice trembling. "Why did you keep this from me? Why did you give away my daughter?"

Her mother's eyes filled with regret. "I was trying to protect you, Pranati. it was For you betterment Pranati! This society wouldnt have accepted an illegitimate child and a mother who got pregnant before marriage."

Pranati's anger boiled over. "Best? You tore my life apart. I had a right to know."

As Pranati struggled to process the truth, she turned to her daughter, Jugnu, now 8 years old. Reyansh Khurana, Jugnu's father and Pranati's past love, stood beside her, his eyes filled with a mix of guilt and longing.

"Rey, I'm pregnant!" The bittersweet memories came running in her mind seeing Reyansh Khurana again after eight years and nine months. "Abort prani, abhi toh hum khud bacche hai iss bacche ko kese sambhalenge?"

"Jugnu," Pranati whispered, her heart overflowing. "My child."

Reyansh's voice was laced with regret. "Pranati, I—"

"Don't," Pranati interrupted, her pain palpable. "You left me when I needed you most. You didn't even know I carried our child."

"Eight years of grief, regret, and what-ifs come crashing down on Pranati when she learns her daughter, Jugnu, was given away to an orphanage by her own mother. Now, Pranati must come to terms with her new reality and the fact that Reyansh, the love of her life, has been raising their child without her. Will she find forgiveness, love, and redemption, or will the past continue to haunt her?"
