Evening fell, and after bidding their farewells, Advika threw herself on the couch, sighing heavily. Saanvi rolled her eyes at her lovely daughter.
Saanvi: "Advi, go get changed."
Advika: "Maa, just a little while. I'm too tired."
She said, while adjusting her choker. Saanvi sighed.
Saanvi: "Behave like a woman. You're soon getting married. What will your in-laws say?"
Advika frustratedly sighed and said, "Just send me away then. I'm a burden to you now."
She stormed into her room, leaving Saanvi puzzled.
Kabir placed his hand on her shoulder, reassuring her that Advika must be stressed.
Advika entered her room to find Buddy cuddling with her soft toy.
"Aw, so cute," she said, picking up Buddy and settling him on her lap.
Advika started talking about her day, especially about 'him', as if she were complaining to Buddy, who listened attentively.
At the Agarwal mansion...
Sumitra and Karan entered the house to hear loud noises. They exchanged glances and sighed dramatically.
Entering the living room, they found Sam and Siya pulling each other's hair.
Sumitra: "Sam, Siya, leave each other alone. Are you small kids to fight like this?"
Hearing Sumitra's voice, Sam and Siya stopped and sat properly on the sofa.
Akhil chuckled at the scene. Siya rushed to him.
Siya: "Bhai, how is bhabhi? What did you say to her? Do you like her? Did she like you?"
Akhil raised his eyebrow and left without answering.
Sam laughed, "Ha! Bhai just ignored you on your face."
Siya grabbed a pillow and threw it at Sam.
Sumitra intervened before they could start fighting again.
Sam: "Did bhai say yes for the marriage, Maa?"
Sumitra smiled, "Yes, he did."
Siya: "Yay! That means lots of shopping, functions, and sweets. It'll be so much fun!"
Sam teased, "You're so noisy."
Siya stuck her tongue out and ignored him.
Siya: "Maa, how does bhabhi look? She must be very beautiful since bhai said yes."
Sumitra: "She's very beautiful, and you can meet her if you want to."
Siya: "Great! Let's plan a shopping day."
Kabir chuckled at his daughters' behavior and left for his room.
Sumitra: "Sure, why not"

Akhil came out of the bathroom, drying his hair, and received a call from Vihaan. He answered while walking towards the balcony.
"Speak," he said.
Vihaan: "That was kinda rude, bro. Anyway, we got to know who the mole in our group was. We've kept him in the basement."
Akhil: "Give him some special treatment until I come."
Vihaan: "Ok. See you in the morning. by-"
Before Vihaan could complete his sentence, Akhil ended the call, knowing Vihaan would complain the next day like a small kid. He looked at the sky, remembering her angry little face.
Akhil: "I know I promised not to fall in love, and I won't. But you're something else than what I thought. It won't be easy to deal with you; it will be fun."
The next morning, Advika came down getting ready for the office. She wished morning to everyone and apologized to Saanvi for her behavior, which was accepted on one condition: shopping with HIM.
Advika: "Shopping with HIM. Maa, are you punishing me?"
Saanvi: "What's wrong with going shopping with your soon-to-be husband? And you said you like him, right?"
Aahan joked about Advika's decision, earning glares from Saanvi and Aakriti.
Aahan: "Just joking, guys."
Aakriti: "Not funny, Aahan."
Aahan: "Ok."
He said and continued eating.
Advika: "Maa, you know I'm introverted, so..."
Saanvi: "That's why I'm telling you to spend time with him; you'll get to know him better, hmm?"
Advika just took a small bite of bread and nodded.
Everyone in the Agarwal family was having breakfast when Sumitra spoke.
Sumitra: "Akhil, today you have to take Advika shopping. Spend some time with her before the wedding; you need to get to know each other."
Akhil: "I'll be a little busy today."
Kabir: "Come during lunch break and take her somewhere nice. You can complete your work later too."
Akhil just sighed frustratedly and nodded.
Siya: "Can I also go with bhai to meet bhabi?"
Sumitra: "No, you can meet her when we go for engagement shopping."
Siya just nodded her head and continued eating.
Akhil left for his business, intending to teach a lesson to the one who dared to mess with him and tried to betray him.
At the Agarwal's office
Advika stretched herself and was about to get up when her mobile rang with an unknown number. She decided to ignore it, but the caller seemed eager to reach her, irritating her.
Advika: "Aaj kal ke log lunch break enjoy bhi karne nahi dete."
She picked up the call.
Advika: "Hello?"
Akhil: "Can't you pick up the call at once?"
Advika looked at her phone screen and stuck her tongue out.
Advika: "Oh... yes, Mr. Agarwal, like I have your number saved in my phone and I already knew you would be calling me, right?"
She said sarcastically.
He just rolled his eyes and told her to come down; he was waiting in front of the company.
Advika: "Why? Are we going somewhere?"
Akhil: "Yes, to jump off the cliff."
Advika: "WHAT?"
Akhil: "You talk so much, come down."
Saying this, he ended the call without listening to her.
Advika: "Sadu hulk."
Advika packed her stuff and went out of the company, only to see Akhil leaning on his white Lamborghini. He was busy on call. He looked up, and she gulped hard, wandering everywhere but not to him as she was caught red handed for checking him out,
Akhil ended the call and looked at her, who was busy staring at the streets nervously.
Akhil: "You know you should not check out someone without their permission."
Advika narrowed her eyes and said
Advika: "To check out someone, the person should be handsome and good-looking too Mr. Agarwal."
She smirked, looking at his smirk falling off. He cleared his throat and wore his glasses back, moving towards the driver's seat.
Advika observed him carefully and thought to herself:
Such a shameless creature didn't even open the car door for me.
Saying this, she sat beside him, and he started the engine. Time to time, she was glancing at him or more over glaring at him.
Akhil: "Stop glaring."
Advika just rolled her eyes.
Akhil: "Don't roll your eyes, or I'll make them roll my way, and trust me, you'll like it."
Advika: "Ewww... For your kind information, my eyes will do whatever I want them to do. Where are we going?Becoz of you I didnt even had my lunch and you know how much ATP I have wasted while talking with you?
Akhil:You talk too much
He said annoyingly
Advika:So God has given mouth to talk and eat only na So I am using it Why your stomach is paining?."
Akhil looked at her with a done face and said:
Akhil: "Besides talking and eating, the mouth can be used for other things too. You want me to show you practically."
She made a disgusting face and said:
"Your mouth needs a filter, pervert."
He just smirked.
"At least she kept quiet," he thought and parked the car near the restaurant. They both entered the restaurant and took a seat in a private room.
Akhil got a call from Vihaan, so he excused himself and left the room.
Advika smirked, looking at Akhil. She could predict already how annoyed he got in just 45 minutes.
Advika: "Let's see, Mr. Akhil Agarwal you'll be the one to reject the marrage. If you're a dangerous devil, then I'm no saint."
Saying this she has a mischievous smirk on her face.
