Only six days were left until the wedding, and Kaveri still hadn’t returned home. Chirag had somehow managed to convince her parents that she would be back in two days, but even he had no idea where she was.

His phone vibrated, pulling him out of his thoughts. He quickly answered the call. "Where the hell were you?" Chirag snapped in frustration "Sir, I found her" Deva’s voice came through the phone, instantly brightening Chirag’s mood.

"Where is she? Is she in the city? Why did it take you so long? Is she with you?" Chirag fired off his questions in one breath, desperate for answers.

"Sir, I’ll share her location with you… but I got into some trouble" Deva replied, his voice hesitant. "What happened?" Chirag asked, sensing something was wrong."Someone chased me yesterday when I tried to enter that place" Deva admitted, his voice low.

Chirag took a deep breath. "You just stay safe. I’ll handle everything from here" he reassured him, his mind already racing with what to do next.

Vihaan reached home, knowing he had a big task ahead of him convincing Kaveri. He entered the house cautiously, fearing that she might be really angry, but the house was quiet.

"Where is she?" he wondered, looking around. "Maybe she’s in her room."
He knocked on her door, but it was open. "She’s not here" he thought, starting to panic as he couldn't find her anywhere.

"Kaveri! Kaveri!" he shouted, running around the house. His mind raced thinking of worst possible "No, no… Did someone take her? Damn!"

He quickly decided to call Karan."Come on, Karan, pick up the phone!" he muttered, but there was no response. Vihaan grabbed his car keys, ready to go out and search for her.

Just as he was about to leave, Kaveri hurried inside, balancing a laptop and some food she had brought. She noticed Vihaan’s heavy breathing and the serious look on his face. Panic filled her.

She set the laptop down and walked toward him. Their eyes met, and she could see the anger in his eyes. He clutched the car keys tightly in his fist, and with a loud crash, he threw them onto the table, shattering the glass. Then, he stormed toward her, taking big, heavy steps.

"Where were you?" he asked in sharp tone. Kaveri’s eyes were fixed on the broken glass of the table. "I asked, where were you?" His voice grew louder, his eyes locked onto hers.

"I went outside" she said quietly, her words only adding fuel to his anger.
In a moment of uncontrollable rage, Vihaan raised his hand but stopped himself  within time. Kaveri flinched, startled by his sudden movement. His face was red with anger as he slammed his fist down, trying to control his emotions.

"Pagal ho! If something happens to you, what will I do?" he said, his voice trembling with a fear of losing her. But before he could finish, Kaveri’s eyes filled with tears. He quickly grabbed her by the shoulders, trying to keep his tone gentle.

"Kaveri... Kaveri! Do you know how scared I was? If anything had happened to you…" he said, cupping her face gently.

Vihaan realized he had hurt her again. The same what he did has ranaveer, he had made her cry. He was about to hug her, whispering "I’m sorry-" but before he could, Kaveri pushed him away and ran upstairs, slamming her door.
