The question drew the room's attention to Rajendra. He let out a deep sigh, a soft smile tugging at his lips. "We never got the chance to name her officially," he said, his voice tinged with sorrow. "But months before her birth, Simi and I had already decided on a name. It was..."
Everyone leaned in, curiosity etched on their faces. Rajendra's gaze swept the room as he finally said, "Aisha."
The name landed like a thunderclap. Everyone froze, their breaths hitching.
Neha broke the silence, her voice filled with awe. "Wow. If she were here, she and our Aisha would've shared the same name."
Vikram's voice cut through, firm and deliberate. "Or... Aisha is our sister."
The room plunged into stunned silence, except for Saad and Rivaan.
Divyansh was the first to react, jumping up from his seat. "WHAT?!"
Vikram turned to Rajendra, his eyes sharp with determination. "Dad, is Aisha the girl you suspected?"
Rajendra's shoulders slumped as he nodded, a defeated sigh escaping him. "Yes, she is the one."
Arjun, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke. "From the first time I saw her, I felt something familiar. It was like a distant memory trying to resurface. But I couldn't confirm it—after all, I only saw Shya briefly when she was born." He paused, his eyes narrowing as if he were replaying every moment he had spent around Aisha. "Then I started observing. Aisha has so many similarities with us—the way she holds herself, even her mannerisms."
Veer, who had been lost in his own thoughts, suddenly nodded, his movements slow as realization dawned on him. "Now that you mention it... I can see it too." 
He leaned back, exhaling deeply, a disbelieving smile spreading across his face. Then, as the weight of the truth settled in, his emotions overwhelmed him.
"Oh... oh fuck," he whispered, his voice breaking. A slow chuckle escaped his lips, shaky and filled with both disbelief and relief. "My sunshine... our Aisha... my sunshine is our sister." Tears brimmed in his eyes as he clutched the edge of the table for support. 
His voice trembled as he repeated, "Our sister is alive... oh my god."
The room fell silent, everyone absorbing Veer's reaction. He covered his face with his hands, his shoulders shaking with quiet sobs. It wasn't grief—it was the overwhelming relief of a long-lost hope reigniting after years of despair.
Divyansh's eyes lit up as a sudden realization struck him. "OH MY GOD! MY BEST FRIEND IS MY SISTER! YES! YES!" 
He leaped from his chair, his excitement overflowing as he rushed toward Rajendra. "Dad, Dad, let's tell her! Let's tell her right now!"
Before anyone could stop him, Divyansh bolted toward the door. Saad and Rivaan moved quickly, blocking his path.
"Not now, Divyansh," Saad said firmly.
Divyansh whined in frustration, looking between them. "Why not?"
Veer stood abruptly, his expression change to serious. "Div, she'll be overwhelmed—or worse, she might panic. Her heart is still fragile, and we can't take that risk right now."
Arjun rose from his seat as well, his voice steady but firm. "And secondly, we need to perform a DNA test to confirm everything before saying anything to her."
Everyone in the room nodded, acknowledging the need for caution.
Saad, who had been observing quietly, finally spoke. "As someone who knows her well, I can say she'll likely accept you all with open arms. But given her past, there's a strong chance she could feel overwhelmed. Let's give her a week. In the meantime, Veer, you should quietly arrange for the blood sample or whatever is needed for the DNA test."
