Atharva was deep in thought about the mysterious lady as he arrived at the palace for dinner with some guests. Out of the blue, he spoke up.

"Alright, Ruhi and I will stay in the same village where that old lady lives for 21 days. We'll live among them to understand their problems more deeply."

The room gasped, especially his family members, while Ruhi looked at him with pride. She added, "I completely agree with Atharva. We will carefully observe their concerns by staying among these people, and I will do my best to learn everything about them."

Everyone was stunned. They realized that what Atharva and Ruhi were proposing wasn’t a simple task. Despite their concerns, Atharva and Ruhi were confident in their decision and their ability to handle it together.

While others were worried, the grandfather smiled and gave them a signal that he was willing to see how they would manage.

Ruhi and Atharva exchanged glances, with Ruhi signaling him with her eyes, assuring him of her support.

To ease the tension, Abhinav spoke up, "Aree! Bhaiya, open your gift!"

Ruhi looked at Sreeja, who had prepared the gift, still unaware of what it was. Sreeja’s eyes widened, not wanting Atharva to open Ruhi's gift just yet. She had prepared a keychain for Atharva on behalf of Ruhi, claiming Ruhi hadn’t had time to prepare anything herself. This was a lie.

As Atharva began opening his gifts, he was presented with various expensive items. Ruhi turned pale, feeling that her gift, which was just a keychain, seemed insignificant in comparison.

When Rohan mentioned, "Aree, bhabhisa ka gift nahi khola apne bhaiya?" Atharva glanced at Ruhi, who looked a bit pale. He replied, "The gift is in the room. Ruhi had already given it earlier, and it’s still unopened."

Everyone made an 'O' face. Sreeja breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Ruhi, who whispered in her ear, "Ree, all these gifts are so nice, and mine is just a keychain. I feel guilty that I didn’t prepare something better for him."

Sreeja quickly checked to ensure no one was watching and whispered back, "Bhabhisa, trust me, your gift will be the best. You just need to lead tonight."

Ruhi looked confused by "lead tonight" but didn’t question it further. After dinner, Ruhi went to their room before Atharva, who was still conversing with guests.

She found a shopping bag and a note on the bed. Curious, she picked up the note, which was from Sreeja. As she read it, her eyes widened in surprise:
