As Aarav hurriedly dragged Yahvi inside the hospital, they were suddenly halted by the deafening burst of party bombs.
Aarav instinctively covered his ears, inadvertently releasing Yahvi's hands in the process.
Amidst the chaos, a crowd of people flooded in, carrying violins and various instruments, filling the air with a love song.
But in the midst of the commotion, Yahvi was forcefully pushed away from Aarav, only to be caught just in time before hitting the wall.
"Careful there, gorgeous," came the voice of her savior, his arms enveloping her in a protective embrace.
Before Yahvi could gather her thoughts, the music intensified, drawing her attention to a breathtaking sight: a stunning lady kneeling before Aarav, holding out a ring.
"Will you marry me?" she asked, her voice filled with anticipation.
Yahvi observed the scene, noting the shock on Aarav's face, though his response was one of acceptance as he nodded and slipped the ring onto his finger.
"We'll! Looks like someone got their love," the voice of her savior remarked as Yahvi realized she was still in his arms.
"Oh, sorry!" she exclaimed, hastily stepping away and meeting his gaze.
He extended a hand. "I'm Yash! Yash Kulshrestha," he introduced himself with a warm smile.
"I'm Yahvi... Yahvi Malhotra," she replied, returning his smile.
"Wow... both our names start with 'Y'... looks like we'll make a great team!" he quipped, winking playfully at her.
Yahvi couldn't help but laugh at his remark, feeling a sense of comfort amidst the unexpected turn of events.
As Shailee slipped the ring onto Aarav's finger, sealing their engagement with a tender embrace, his gaze shifted, locking onto Yahvi's eyes with an intensity that sent her heart racing.
Confusion mingled with a flutter of butterflies.
What did he seek in her eyes? Validation? Approval? Or was it something deeper, something she dared not acknowledge?
For a moment, time seemed to stand still as they held each other's gaze, suspended in a silent exchange of unspoken words.
Then, with a faint smile, Yahvi mouthed "congratulations," her voice barely a whisper in the midst of the momentous occasion.
Aarav's replied with a silent "thanks" brushed against the air, but Yahvi's heart thudded against her chest, a rapid rhythm betraying the conflict within her.
His engagement, a reality that cannot be denied.
The spell was broken as Shailee pulled Aarav away to his office.
"Babe!" Shailee's endearment echoed off the walls as she enveloped Aarav in her embrace, her lips seeking his in a tender kiss.
"I know how important your work is...that is why I thought it'd be special if I proposed you here"
Aarav smiled at her words.
"I'm sorry Shailee! I should've been the one doing it." Aarav spoke.
