Hello lovely ladies!
On the request of Fero and Vidya, I am writing the continuation of the confession night scene that the makers, as always, left to our wild imaginations! Keeping in mind their current state of mind, I present to you "The Confession Night." I hope to do justice to Runak and their emotions!
For the record, whenever I watch this scene, I still cannot bring myself to watch the rest of the episode. I hope that by writing this, I find closure and can now watch the rest of the episode.
Welcome to the world of my imagination! 
........................................................................................................................................................................
Anirudh is overwhelmed by the thought that this may be the last night he will ever get to spend with Jhanak. He holds her hands tightly, hoping they will never let him go. Gently, he caresses them and pulls them closer to his heart, little by little, trying to capture every precious moment.
"Is she able to see through my eyes? Is he able to feel my pain? Is she able to see and understand that I love her and that is why I don't want her to leave me?"
Jhanak: Sirji kya hua?
Anirudh is so overwhelmed that the fear of Jhanak leaving him is eating him from within....these were the only words he could find to explain her ...
Anirudh: Jhanak muze kuch accha nahi lag raha hai...
But can he do better... Can he finally say what he has been keeping in his heart all along? "It's the last night of my life..." ...Anirudh thinks
The next moment, words he has been keeping within the most precious corner of his heart leave his body:
"Jhanak jab tum mere sath hoti ho na... to main sab kuch bhool jata hoon..."
"Aur jab tum mere sath nahi hoti... to meri zindagi me andhera cha jata hai..."
"Jhanak ... I love you Jhanak... I love you... "
"Sirji..."
"Haan Jhanak... muze nahi lagata main tumhare bina jee paoonga.."
"Muze kuch accha nahi lag raha hai... muze kuch samaz nahi aa raha hai ... lekin... bus itna pata hai Jhanak main tumase bohot pyaar karata hoon Jhanak..."
Anirudh, who always hid behind his lies and deception, suddenly feels a sense of nakedness for the first time in his life. The only place left to hide is in her embrace.
"There... I laid my heart in front of you, Jhanak... finally my heart is feeling lighter after ages... " Anirudh thinks to himself
His words were his last wish before his soul get crushed by the world around him. He wanted to say this to her for so long with everything he had but expects nothing in return. The child inside him emerged from his prison today to embrace this woman who cared for him like a mother, like a wife, like a true "humsafar"
His words were so pure, that they could have melted the toughest metal in the cosmos... this was just Jhanak.
"Is it ok to leave Wolrd's judgment behind for a day... just for today... just for this moment... am I allowed to feel his embrace? Am I allowed to live this moment? ... just for a little bit" Jhanak thinks to herself.
Her hand lifts to touch his back, to feel the warmth of the moment, to express the love she feels for him that is greater than herself.
The time has come to a halt for both of these souls as their embrace lengthens with each passing moment. They are just there ... sitting on that bed, finding solace in each other's presence, telling each other in their own way, how much they love and care for each other.
In the quiet, a symphony of hearts unfolds, each beat echoing devotion. They need no grand gestures, for being together feels like coming home—natural, serene, profoundly beautiful.
Somewhere in the distance, this song is playing ...
Lag Jaa Gale ...
Ham Ko Mili Hain Aaj, Ye Ghadiyaan Nasib Se
Ji Bhar Ke Dekh Lijiye Ham Ko Karib Se
Phir Aap Ke Nasib Men Ye Baat Ho Na Ho
Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho
Lag Jaa Gale ...
Paas Aaiye Ki Ham Nahin Aaenge Baar-Baar
Baahen Gale Men Daal Ke Ham Ro Le Zaar-Zaar
Aankhon Se Phir Ye Pyaar Ki Barasaat Ho Na Ho
Shaayad Phir Is Janam Men Mulaaqaat Ho Na Ho
Lag Ja Gale Ki Phir Ye Hassin Raat Ho Na Ho
Kya ye sazish hai, ya koi khwahish hai jannat ki?
Isse hum alvida samaze, ya pehale pyaar ka tohfa?
"Is this a conspiracy, or is it a desire of paradise?
Should we perceive it as farewell, or the gift of first love?"
All the other senses have gone numb now... the only thing they feel is their hearts touching and beating to the same rhythm. Their eyes have no more tears left to shed tonight. Jhanak places her other hand on him, surrendering to her own love. Since her mother's departure from this world, this is the first time someone has held her like this—a touch she has yearned for, a confession of love she has longed to hear. Countless times in the past months, she has yearned for this embrace. Perhaps, after all, God has some mercy left for her...
As the world around them gently slips into slumber, the silence between them deepens. The weight of the words Anirudh had carried so heavily begins to lift from his soul. The comfort of Jhanak's embrace combined with the effect of the medicines are working together like a lullaby for him.
Anirudh's arms, wrapped around Jhanak, start to grow heavy with drowsiness. He momentarily loses his balance, but each time, he regains it, holding her back again, then again and again... Jhanak lovingly strokes his back gently rocking him closer to the peaceful sleep they both crave.
She feels his arms slip away from her, with his head resting on her shoulders. With utmost care, Jhanak cradles him, easing him down onto the bed.
As she carefully lays him down, she finds her hands caught beneath his back. The weight of his chest is pushing her hands down and she finds it difficult to release them in this situation. She softly wiggles her hands to release them from under his back, careful not to disturb Anirudh who is soundly asleep.
Sensing Jhanak's movement, Anirudh turns to the side facing Jhanak to find a more comfortable position, inadvertently freeing one of Jhanak's hands while now trapping her entire body with his other arm.
She finds herself inevitably trapped in Anirudh's embrace once again. She feels the rising temperature of Anirudh's body against her cold skin. Tonight, her resolve has already faltered; her love for him urges her to stay a little longer, longing to comfort him with the coolness of her touch and ensure he drifts into a peaceful sleep.
Jhanak takes Anirudh in her arms, cuddles him softly to sleep. She pulls up the blanket on them both to bring warmth to his shivering sick body. Anirudh feeling warmth and comfort tightens his hug around her, as if he is cuddling his favorite toy in his sleep.
"I will go in a little bit as Sirji is in deep sleep..." Jhanak thinks to herself, patting him slightly as she struggles to stay awake. An hour slips by...
Anirudh mumbles in his fever, occasionally calling out her name and uttering words that are harder to interpret. "Jhanak... mat ..", "Jhanak... I love you.."... Jhanak continues to comfort him, drifting in and out of sleep herself.
As the night deepens, two bodies rest motionless in each other's embrace. Judgment and fear have departed, dreams and a sense of calmness have taken over instead.
The next day, Jhanak wakes up before Anirudh and finds herself lying next to him. She looks at him sleeping peacefully and whispers softly, "Kal ki raat main kabhi nahi bhool paoongi sirji ... shayad aap bhool jaye..."
Hereafter, the story continues based on what we all watched in the show!

I hope you enjoy reading this and it brings some comfort and strength to bear a few more episodes!
I want to share here a song that I love and I find suitable for this beautiful night they spend, apart from the song "lag ja gale" I referred to in the story... May be this is what Anirudh is singing to her while they are soundly asleep together... 🛌
Khwaabo mein hi to ho mile
Khwaabo mein hi to ho mile
Main kaise neend aane na du
Raaton ki tanhaiyaan
can imagine this scene 
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
