Yes, no doubt Runak are currently just a tool for her to set up the next gen....there is no "story" since a long time and it's looking more hollow than ever currently...lol hence the emotional detachment for most people.
But I don't think she is looking to repeat IK story for next gen. I don't see any chances for a Runak biological kid....it will either culminate with the Anishi kid still somehow staying with Jhanak to raise or she will adopt another kid for next gen story.
This village track is giving strong vibes of being Ani's last track one way or the other....there is nothing left for him in the story anyways since he has been used/abused by both sisters relentlessly and I don't think they will show any connection between him and the kid either....that is all just a backdrop plot to show everyone fighting over but quite likely that kid will eventually go back to NuSar only to be raised in the village.
Leena's overall goal seems to be about setting up another generation of Srishti/Urvashi and Arshi/Jhanak type "sisterly" drama....lol so Ani was just a tool to facilitate that...then it will get handed over to next gen ka ML to deal with Leena ki cheap FLs again
If Leena serves Ani's death here, in this village, away from Chudail's reach, mujhe thodi si shanti milegi...Ani ke last moment me sirf Runak honi chahiye...Arshi ka saya bhi nahi dekhna chahti main when Ani will be dying ...
