Denny turned toward Harry and asked, confused and slightly alarmed,
"What is Dean doing beside Sejal?"
Harry calmly placed a hand on Denny's shoulder and replied,
"Sejal is our only sister, and her happiness is the most important thing to us.
If she isn't truly happy, how can we live in peace?"
Denny frowned. "But I thought Sejal and Ken were doing fine!
Ken used to call me every day and talk about how well everything was going!"
Harry sighed gently.
"That's because you only saw what Ken told you.
But the truth is... Sejal wasn't happy."
Denny's eyes turned toward Dean.
He asked, slightly tense,
"Dean, does your father even know about all this?"
Dean lowered his eyes.
"No, he doesn't… and listen Denny, I haven't completely forgiven you yet either.
But if you don't want to get beaten up again,
then just make sure my Sejal stays happy."
The tension broke when Ken quietly stepped forward.
With a calm, heavy voice, he said,
"I should've never forced that ring onto Sejal's finger. That was my mistake."
Denny turned to Ken, softened by his words,
"Ken, you're a good man.
I honestly want to apologize on behalf of my sister.
She couldn't value the love you gave her."
Ken gave a faint smile and shook his head,
"Please don't embarrass me, Denny.
Everything's okay now.
If Sejal is truly happy with Dean,
then that's enough peace for me."

The day slowly turned into evening as the family continued their heartfelt conversation.
Later, Sejal and Dean took Denny to see their home and office—
the world they had built together with love, effort, and trust.
Denny, seeing his sister so content and cared for,
found no words left to oppose Dean anymore.
For the next one whole month, Denny stayed at Harry's place—
sharing laughter, meals, and old memories with Dean, Sejal, and even Suzy and Ken.
During that time, they decided to finally tell Sejal's parents everything via video call.
Though it wasn't easy at first,
the sight of their sweet grandchildren—Arken and Denial—
melted even the strictest hearts.
Eventually, Sejal's parents accepted the truth and forgave the past.
On the other side, Dean called his own parents one day—
with Harry, Suzy, Ken, and Denny by his side—
and told them everything about Sejal and the children.
Dean's father exploded with anger.
But when his mother saw her grandsons' smiling faces over the screen,
her heart softened beyond control.
Dean's father came storming to Sejal's home,
ready for conflict.
But Sejal's parents calmly sat him down,
spoke to him with honesty and respect,
and slowly brought him to understanding.
That moment marked the beginning of a new bond between the two families.
—
Before returning home, Denny handed everyone an invitation to his wedding—
to Dean, Sejal, Ken, Suzy, and Harry.
Exactly seven months later, Sejal and Dean attended the wedding with their two sons.
When they reached Sejal's childhood home, they saw Ken and Suzy were already there,
helping with the wedding preparations.
Two days before the ceremony,
Harry arrived too—this time with his fiancée by his side.
It was a house full of celebration and reunion—
an ending that felt like a new beginning.
—
But just when they thought the story had ended…
On the night of Denny's wedding,
Sejal suddenly felt dizzy and nearly collapsed.
Dean caught her just in time.
Everyone assumed it was exhaustion from all the wedding hustle—
but Dean, suspicious, insisted,
"I'm taking her to the doctor tomorrow. Just to be sure."
The next morning, when the results came in…
Dean learned that Sejal was pregnant again.
Tears of joy filled his eyes.
He gently placed a hand on Sejal's head,
smiling softly.
And with that single news—
the days of their family became warmer, brighter,
filled with more love than ever before.
