Suddenly, there's a commotion outside. The watchman announces, "khushi ma'am. Arnav sir is here!"
It's our beloved Khushi who is planning to surprise her husband Arnav in his birthday.

Khushi:oh great.. attention everyone, birthday boy is here.

The lights go out, and everyone scrambles to hide. Inside the mansion, Arnav raizaada enters the room, surveying the scene in confusion.

Arnav: "Guards, Ramish, Nira...What happened to the lights? And where is everyone?"

The atmosphere shifts as a khushi begins singing "Happy Birthday" to . Arnav.

Khushi: "Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday dear Arnav, Happy Birthday to You..."

Khushi from before speaks up, addressing Arnav directly:

Khushi: "Happy Birthday, Arnav.
Arnav: thank you, love

Khushi smiles, beaming with pride. Arnav: thanks everyone for coming ,i will come back in few minutes, enjoy.

Arnav heads to his room to freshen up. While walking, he suddenly feels as though someone is watching him and turns to see a shadowy figure disappearing down the hall.

Khushi enters his room soon after.

Khushi: "Arnav, your clothes are all ready. Please hurry and get dressed, the guests are waiting for you."

Arnav: "Khushi, I saw someone just now. I swear somebody was watching me."

Khushi brushes off his concerns while handing him his clothes.

Khushi: "It was probably just another guest. Please hurry and get ready."
Arnav: yeah.. Wil join you all

Arnav starts to get dressed but is interrupted by an urgent phone call. Khushi urges him to hurry up, saying that the guests are all waiting.

While the party is in full swing, Arnav and Khushi make their way to cut the cake. They excitedly open the box, only for their expressions to drop in shock.

Instead of the simple cake they had ordered, the cake is decorated with a picture of them, but a riff has been added between them, with the message, "Hope a bad luck."

Arnav and Khushi are stunned by this strange and ominous message. They try to figure out who would have done this to them.
Khushi:i ask those hotel people?they didn't know anything.
Arnav: it's alright?
Khushi:no, it's not alright.. I work so hard to make you birthday special but this turn out something else.
Arnav:my biggest birthday gift is your beautiful smile..and you can give Extra efforts in tonight on bed than it becomes more special.
He winked at her.khushi feels shy.even after 10 years of their marriage.he sitll make her blush like new bride.

Arnav:Now let's go.all are waiting.. let's join them
while the party continues outside. Suddenly, there's another shocking phone call that leaves them both reeling.

As the night ends and everyone leaves, Arnav and Khushi are left with more questions than answers. Meanwhile, a shadowy figure lurks in the distance, watching them both.

The sleek black car glides into the parking lot of AR Entertainment Office. Arnav emerges from the car and briskly heads towards the surveillance room in Harsh. As he enters the room, Rakesh immediately acknowledges him.

"Arnav sir..."

Arnav cuts him off, "What's going on? Someone has stolen 20 million dollars from AR Industry
Rakesh: the technical team was working on it.
Arnav:I remember when the system had a problem last night, you said it was just an error. But now...."

Rakesh rushes towards the computer screens and starts typing. "Sir, we are monitoring it. The entire office is in chaos. You can trust our team..."

Anita rushes in, visibly flustered, and interrupts them.

"Sir...?"

Arnav turns to her sharply, "What? What's the matter?"

Anita shows him a tab, and his eyes widen in disbelief. The stolen 20 million dollars have been transferred back to his own account.

"What is this?" Arnav asks perplexed.

Anita replies, "The thief returned the money to your account. It's a strange game ."

Arnav's mind goes back to the mysterious shadowy figure he saw earlier today. He realizes that someone is challenging him and it's not going to be easy to catch him.

Back at home, Arnav enters the house talking on the phone. He is surprised to see Khushi asleep on the couch, dressed in a beautiful saree, with candles lit around the dinner set.

Khushi wakes up and greets him with a shy smile, "I've been waiting for you for so long."

As she serves dinner, Arnav's mind goes back to the office incident and his birthday.

Khushi senses his restlessness and tries to comfort him, "I know you're worried about the office incident. You forgot your birthday, and I ruined your mood too with that cake."

Arnav takes Khushi's hand and kisses it softly, "Khushi, it's not your fault. I was just forgetful. Let's forget about all of that and enjoy this beautiful dinner."

Khushi:see i bake a cake for you.
Arnav: look delicious..

As they cut the cake, Arnav tells Khushi how lucky he is to have her as his life partner.

Arnav: Khushi..thanks for my life and make it beautiful, after my parents died.you come fill that void in mine,make that family again.

Khushi looks at him with adoration and confesses her immense love for him.

Khushi: you absolutely know what you mean to me? you know what you do for me. i would always thankful to you and i will always love you till my last breath.
Arnav:i love you too.

Later that night, as Arnav works on his laptop, Khushi asks him to go to bed.
Khushi: how much work you will do..
Arnav is going to answer But just as he receives an urgent call, Khushi asks him where he is going.

He replies, "To the office. Don't worry, the staff is there. I'll tell you more later. And be ready, I might need you."
Khushi nod.she know what happened in office.

As Arnav drives to the office, he receives a call from Khushi. She is on her way to the office with a driver. Arnav doesn't want her to come alone and tells her to wait. But Khushi decides to go alone with a revolver for her safety.

As she drives, someone starts following her. The storm clouds gather, and the wind tinkles the trees. Out of nowhere, a figure dashes in front of her car, and Khushi ends up knocking him down. She is left shaken by the strange turn of events.

Precap: The person who Khushi knocked down reveals something shocking, leaving both Arnav and Khushi stunned.
