reparations were underway for the engagement the next day. With the ceremony scheduled for the evening, Ruhi noticed a slight change in Atharva's behavior. Although she initially thought it might be due to his concern for his sister, she soon realized that Atharva had become distant, speaking very little and not flirting with her as he used to.
As Atharva and Aditya worked together, Aditya said, "Atharva, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier. I know she’s your sister, and I should have been more considerate, but I fell in love."
Atharva sighed and replied, "I know you’ll take good care of my sister. I’m not angry with you, but you shouldn’t have gotten her pregnant. You should have waited."
Aditya gathered some files and said, "I didn’t intend for this to happen. Sometimes things just happen. Please forgive me. After all, talking things through is better than making things worse."
Atharva was deep in thought, and Aditya noticed but chose not to comment. Atharva then said, "Adi, after the engagement, I need to meet with Vikram. It’s very important."
Aditya, confused since no one knew about this meeting, asked, "What’s going on? Why do you suddenly need to see Vikram? Is there something you haven’t shared?"
Atharva shook his head and said, "Nothing special. Baba sa said to speak with Vikram, and I think it’s better to do so as soon as possible. I’ll meet him after the engagement."
Aditya nodded but began to feel suspicious of Atharva.

The engagement preparations were focused on close relatives and Ruhi’s family, who couldn’t arrive earlier due to Ruhi's grandfather’s surgery. As a result, Ruhi couldn’t visit her grandfather, and today, her mother and brother were arriving.
Ruhi was extremely busy with the preparations when Atharva and Aditya arrived at the house. Atharva, seeing Ruhi carrying heavy vases and setting them up, became very angry. He went up to her and grabbed her wrist.
Ruhi looked at him, noticing the anger in his eyes. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them. Atharva shouted angrily, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
