At Aarav and Ridhima's Side...
The kiss break and aarav said my favorite dish ...
Touch her lips...
The moment ended, and Aarav smiled while gently holding Ridhima's hand.
Ridhima looked at him and said,
"Aarav, I told Mom, Dad, and Bro about us."
Aarav raised an eyebrow.
"Really? What did they say?"
Ridhima smiled.
"Mom and Dad accepted it... but Bhai is still angry."
Aarav chuckled.
"Don't worry, bachha. I'll handle Armaan."
Then he added,
"I told my family about us too."
Ridhima immediately became nervous.
"W-What did they say?"
Aarav decided to tease her.
"They said they won't accept you."
Ridhima's eyes instantly filled with tears.
"R-Really?"
Aarav immediately realized his mistake.
"Hey, hey, princess! I was joking."
Ridhima looked at him.
"My family is excited to meet you. My sister is already calling you her future sister-in-law."
Ridhima finally smiled again and lightly hit his arm.
"You scared me!"
Aarav laughed.
"Sorry."
Both continued talking about their future and their families.

At Abhinav and Anushka's Side...
Anushka arrived at Abhinav's office for an important business meeting.
Soon, they met with Mr. Saxena and his son.
The meeting went smoothly, and the deal was almost finalized.
However, throughout the entire meeting, Mr. Saxena's son kept looking at Anushka.
Abhinav noticed everything.
His jaw tightened, but he remained professional.
Finally, Mr. Saxena stood up.
"So, the deal is finalized, Mr. Kapoor and Miss Roy."
Anushka nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Saxena."
They exchanged a formal handshake.
Then Mr. Saxena's son stepped forward to greet Anushka.
Before he could say much, Abhinav moved forward and shook his hand firmly.
"Thank you for coming," Abhinav said with a polite but cold smile.
The message was clear.
Mr. Saxena and his son soon left.
After the door closed, Anushka looked at Abhinav.
"Were you jealous?"
Abhinav immediately replied,
"No."
Anushka laughed.
"You were."
Abhinav looked away while Anushka continued smiling.

Somewhere Else...
A man stood inside a dark room.
One of his guards rushed inside nervously.
"Sir... our men failed."
The man's expression darkened.
"What?"
"Sir... they were defeated."
The guard hesitated before continuing.
"And... Aksh Singh is alive."
The man's eyes widened.
"What?!"
"We don't know how, sir."
For a few moments, silence filled the room.
Then a dangerous smile appeared on the man's face.
"Interesting..."
The guard lowered his head.
The man picked up a photograph of Adya and looked at it carefully.
"So Aksh Singh is alive..."
His smile widened.
"This game is becoming more interesting."
