Time and tide wait for none, and this saying holds true for our beloved couple, RAHU (Raghav and Pihu).

Only one day remains before they embark on a new journey together, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead.

Though they haven't had much time to spend together, their feelings for each other have grown immensely over the past few months. Their conversations have been limited to texts and calls, which typically occur late at night, as they both get busy with their respective work during the day. It has become a nightly ritual for them to talk before going to bed, a habit that has strengthened their bond.

Their engagement took place two weeks ago, followed by vibrant sangeet and mehendi ceremonies. Some relatives from the Shaw family are staying with them for the wedding, adding to the hustle and bustle of the household. Children are playing hide and seek, some people are engaged in lively gossip, and others are busy with preparations for the big day.

The Singhania mansion is also abuzz with similar excitement and activity.Among the guests, Pihu's office friend Mahima, who is three month pregnant, has been staying with her for the past few days. The presence of friends and family has created an atmosphere of joy and anticipation, making the occasion even more special for Raghav and Pihu.

In Pihu's room,

Pihu was gazing at her mehendi-clad hands, lost in her thoughts. The intricate designs told a story of love and tradition, each swirl and curve symbolizing the bond she was about to formalize. Her mind wandered through memories of their journey together, from the first text to the late-night calls that had become their lifeline.

Just then, Mahima entered the room.

Just then, Mahima entered the room, her voice ringing out, "Yaar, Pihu! I've been calling you for such a long time, and here you are, sitting quietly in your room."

Startled, Pihu got up and turned to her friend. "Mahima, how many times have I told you not to shout like this? And why are you roaming around so much? Sit down in one place quietly, yaar. It's not good for your health. This is exactly why I didn't want you to stay here."

Mahima rolled her eyes but smiled, her expression softening as she took a seat. "I know, I know. But there's so much going on, and I wanted to help out."

Pihu shook her head, concern etched on her face. "Your health is more important than helping with the wedding preparations. You need to take it easy, especially now."

Mahima sighed, leaning back in the chair placing her palm on her small baby bump which was visible through her dress.

"Alright, I'll try to sit still. But it's hard with all this excitement around."

'But you tell me first why your face is dull, yaar? Tomorrow is your marriage. At least show some excitement!' Mahima asked, concern etched on her face as she looked at her friend.

Pihu sighed, listening to her. 'Of course, I'm excited, but at the same time, I'm feeling a bit nervous, Mahi,' she confessed, her voice tinged with anxiety.

Mahima scrunched her eyebrows, puzzled by Pihu's confession.

She came and sat beside her, gently holding her hand. 'Nervousness? For what, Pihu? You know you can share it with me,' she said, her tone soft and encouraging.

Pihu glanced at her henna-clad hands, the intricate designs a stark contrast to her troubled expression. 'What if Raghav ji forces me on that day?' she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.

Mahima's eyes widened in surprise. 'Force? What type of force? I'm not able to understand,' she asked, leaning closer to catch Pihu's words.

Pihu's voice dropped even lower as she murmured, 'On our first night...'
