Maine Pucha kahan ho tum
Usne Kaha teri Sansomein,
Tere dil mein,
Tere khayalo mein,
Teri Nas-Nas mein,
Maine pucha kahan nahi ho?
Usne kaha sirf teri kismat mein.

At Antil's:

Anshika's brows furrowed in confusion as she extended a courteous greeting. "Nice to meet you both. But brother and sister-in-law?"

Anshika's brows furrowed in confusion. "Brother-in-law and sister-in-law? When did this happen, Grandpa?"

Her grandpa, seizing the opportunity to enlighten her, excused himself and took Anshika aside. In her room, he revealed the details of the arranged marriage proposal with Ashwin, a revelation that left Anshika bewildered and, ultimately, resistant.

"But Grandpa, an arranged marriage? I can't believe you agreed to this without consulting me. This is my life we're talking about!" Anshika exclaimed, her frustration evident.

Her grandpa, a master of diplomacy, reasoned with her, "Anshika, my dear, it's for the sake of family. Ashwin is a good man from a respected family. Consider this as a union that will strengthen our bonds."

Anshika, torn between her personal desires and the weight of familial expectations, sighed in resignation. "For the sake of family, Grandpa? Fine, but I can't believe you didn't think to discuss this with me first."

The tension between them lingered, a silent acknowledgment of the clash between tradition and personal autonomy. Anshika, though reluctantly agreeing, couldn't suppress the internal turmoil stirred by the unexpected turn of events.

The tension lifted as Anshika returned to the gathering, the weight of the decision still settling within her. Viyaan and Noha, who had no inkling of the behind-the-scenes drama, continued their lighthearted exchanges, blissfully ignorant of the emotional rollercoaster Anshika had just experienced.

As the evening progressed, Viyaan and Noha found themselves immersed in the warmth of Anshika's hospitality. Anshika, despite the recent revelation and internal turmoil, charmed them with her kindness and humor. The trio engaged in playful banter, exchanging jokes and laughter that echoed through the mansion.

Viyaan, being the brunt of the jokes, found himself the primary target of Anshika's wit. She effortlessly blended into the familial camaraderie, becoming a beacon of humor and grace. Noha, too, couldn't resist joining in the laughter, relishing the unexpected bond forming between them.

Viyaan, despite being on the receiving end of the banter, couldn't help but appreciate Anshika's lively spirit. He found himself growing fond of this unexpected addition to the family, recognizing in her a kindred spirit of humor and warmth. Noha, ever the observer, noticed the subtle shift in Viyaan's demeanor and shared a knowing glance with Anshika.

As the night unfolded, Anshika, Viyaan, and Noha discovered a common ground—an unspoken understanding that transcended the complexities of their shared future. Anshika's acceptance of her impending marriage with Ashwin lingered in the background, temporarily overshadowed by the genuine connection forged in the midst of laughter and shared moments.
