Aarush's face was contorted with frustration, his voice laced with a venomous edge. "How dare she? She challenged me? I will make her understand the worth of challenging me!"

Rehaan, sensing the anger radiating from Aarush, attempted to calm him down. "What happened to you? Why are you so upset? Who challenged you?"

Aarush, his voice tight with fury, spat out, "She."

Rehaan, confused, pressed further, "Who?"

"That… Dhriti Krishna," Aarush growled.

Rehaan's eyes widened in astonishment. "What… so your meeting was with her?"

Aarush, his anger bubbling over, retorted, "My meeting was with her. But... I hate her."

Rehaan, trying to stay calm, asked, "What? You hate her? Why?"

Aarush, with a bitter edge to his voice, explained, "She rejected me. She told me she doesn't want my investment in her project. She even challenged me, saying she'd start it without me within a month. I want to see how she'll pull that off!"

Rehaan, exasperated by Aarush's childish outburst, countered, "Why are you taking this so seriously? If she doesn't want your investment, let her find another investor."

Aarush, his ego bruised and pride wounded, retorted fiercely "No way! I will never let her go. She rejected me, and you know I never accept rejection, especially when she challenged me. I want to win that challenge, no matter the cost."

Sensing the futility of reason with Aarush, Rehaan asked, "So, what are you going to do now? What's running through your mind?"

Aarush, with a sinister grin, replied, "I will make her life hell. She'll regret what she did. I'll break her confidence. She's not revealed her identity yet, right? Tomorrow, the whole world will know who DK is. By tomorrow evening, everyone will see her face. That's my first blow against her."

Rehaan, horrified by Aarush's plan, urged him to reconsider, "Aarush, don't do anything foolish because of your anger."

But Aarush, fueled by an insatiable desire for revenge, was beyond logic. He wouldn't forgive the one who dared to defy him. His anger, like a wildfire, was consuming him, and Dhriti Krishna, unknowingly, had become the target of his destructive wrath.

"What! You are going to meet them! Riti, you find them as the investors?" Arjun exclaimed, his voice laced with disbelief.

Dhriti, the subject of his shock, simply nodded, her expression resolute. "No way Riti, they are neither investing in this project nor you going to meet them," Ruhi interjected, her voice firm but laced with concern.

"If not in my life today, then tomorrow I have to face them. I want to meet them," Dhriti explained, her tone unwavering.

"Do you have the courage to meet them? Even after that all incident happened in your life 7 years ago?" Arjun pressed, his voice laced with worry.

"Yes Aju. If they have so much courage to live like they have done nothing, why should I have less courage to face them?" Dhriti responded, her gaze steady.

"Okay, we will agree you. Then what about your brother and as well as Ishaan? Did you think that they will agree? No, they will not agree. So better is you keep this plan aside. We can do whatever you want when your brother and Ishaan came here. Let's wait for them," Ruhi tried to reason, a hint of exasperation in her voice.
