A Night of Secrets, Jealousy, and Heroic Deeds
The engagement ceremony was in full swing as Mr. Kothari praised Rajat for orchestrating such a beautiful celebration on short notice. Rajat smiled and admitted that everything was done for his brother, Aman. Curious, Sam asked where Aman was. Moments later, Aman arrived—accompanied by the elegant Mrunmayee. The instant Aman laid eyes on her, his heart skipped a beat; her beauty left him spellbound.
Savi, who witnessed the tender moment, silently wished that Aman would find the courage to confess his feelings for Mrunmayee. Overhearing her soft whisper, Rajat teasingly inquired if she had just endorsed the idea of the perfect match. With a quick cover-up, Savi complimented their chemistry, while Rajat joked about Aman’s especially handsome appearance. The playful banter escalated when Sai joined the circle, cheering on the couple and cheekily urging them to kiss—only to step back mischievously, halting their progress.
Meanwhile, Tara watched the scene from afar, her heart heavy with envy. When a few guests brought up Jigar—whom they claimed had been jailed on molestation charges with Rajat being the one responsible—they whispered that Rajat wouldn’t hesitate to act against him if he dared to appear. Enraged by the gossip, Tara stormed over to defend Jigar, asserting her loyalty. Savi quickly intervened, urging the guests to refrain from discussing private family matters and to respect the dignity of the event. The whispered apologies that followed barely quieted the tension.
Later, Mr. Kothari engaged Aman in a quiet conversation about family, and Aman simply reiterated that Rajat was his only kin. Just then, Harsh and Ashika made their entrance, and Rajat’s displeasure was evident. Mr. Kothari explained that he had invited the city’s elite for his sister’s engagement, but Aman was visibly disturbed by their arrival. Keeping his composure, Rajat welcomed Harsh and Ashika with formal courtesy.
As the celebration advanced, Riddhi assumed hosting duties and announced a couple’s dance. Mrunmayee and Sagar took the floor first, earning an encouraging nod from Savi. Across the room, Aman watched the display—and his jealousy boiled over. Clenching a glass too tight, he crushed it under his hand, his face darkening with unspoken emotion. Ahana approached to ask if he was alright, but he brushed off her concern before disappearing into the shadows.
Ashika, ever the instigator, later cornered Aman and teased him about his lingering feelings for Mrunmayee—a reminder of their old friendship that Aman wasn’t ready to revisit. Just as Ashika finished, Savi stepped into the conversation. With a calm yet firm tone, she advised Aman not to sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of loyalty to Rajat. Her words resonated with him, even as the tension continued to swirl in the background.
Soon after, Rajat’s friend Naveen arrived with his wife. When they inquired about Rajat’s better half, he proudly introduced Savi. Their compliments on the couple’s unity added a brief moment of lightness to the evening. Noticing Tara’s gloomy expression, Arsh urged Ashika to comfort her. With gentle reassurance, Ashika reminded Tara that despite past hardships, both she and Arsh had stood by her—unlike the actions of her own brother, who was once responsible for Jigar’s misfortune. Tara’s retort was sharp, declaring that she would never side with Ashika against her own blood and refused to tarnish her reputation.
Upcoming Twist
As the night neared its climax, Savi suddenly pointed toward Rajat and, in front of the gathered crowd, boldly proclaimed, “There’s our real hero!” At that very moment, a tense call from Kiyaan shattered the calm: “Get here now—Ashika’s life is hanging by a thread!”
