Tumhara naam le le kar jee rahe hain hum, tumhara haath pakad ke chal rahe hain hum, agar tum saath ho toh zindagi jannat hai, nahi toh hum apne aap ko sambhal rahe hain hum.

When Vikram left Anshika's office, she slumped back into her chair, feeling the weight of the world pressing down on her. The images Vikram had shown her were burned into her mind, a relentless reminder of Ashwin's betrayal. She sat in silence for a few moments, the initial shock giving way to a deep, simmering anger.

"I can't keep crying over someone who was never truly mine," Anshika muttered to herself, her voice trembling with a mix of hurt and resolve. She wiped away the last of her tears, straightening her back and taking a deep breath. "I loved him, but it's clear he loves someone else now. I need to stop wasting my tears on something that isn't mine."

She stood up, her resolve hardening with each passing second. The love she had felt for Ashwin was now a painful memory, something she needed to let go of in order to move forward. Her heart ached, but she knew she couldn't let herself be consumed by sorrow. She had to be strong, for herself and for her own future.

Just then, there was a knock on her office door.

"Come in," she called, trying to steady her voice.

The door opened, and Mr. Kim, a prominent business associate known for his charisma and impeccable taste, stepped inside. He was dressed in a sharp suit, his expression friendly but professional.

"Good afternoon, Anshika," Mr. Kim greeted her warmly, his voice smooth and reassuring. "I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"Not at all, Mr. Kim," Anshika replied, managing a polite smile. "Please, have a seat."

Mr. Kim sat down across from her, his eyes studying her face with a hint of concern. "You seem a bit stressed. Is everything alright?"

Anshika nodded quickly, not wanting to delve into her personal turmoil. "Just a lot on my plate today. What can I do for you?"

"I understand," Mr. Kim said with a sympathetic nod. "Actually, I came here to personally invite you to a grand party I'm organizing this weekend. It's going to be a spectacular event, and I'd love for you to be there."

Anshika's eyes widened in surprise. "A party?"

"Yes," Mr. Kim confirmed, his smile widening. "It's a celebration of our latest business successes and a chance for all of us to unwind and enjoy ourselves. There will be important guests from various industries, and it's a perfect opportunity for networking and building new connections."

Anshika hesitated for a moment, her mind still clouded by the recent events. "I appreciate the invitation, Mr. Kim. But with everything going on, I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend."

Mr. Kim leaned forward, his expression earnest. "Anshika, I know you're dealing with a lot, your company and your newly married life but sometimes it's important to take a break and step away from work. It can help clear your mind and give you a fresh perspective. Plus, your presence would mean a lot to everyone attending. You're a key figure in our community."

His words resonated with her, and she found herself considering the idea. Perhaps a change of environment and a chance to socialize could help her distract herself from her personal issues, at least for a little while.

"Alright," Anshika agreed, offering a genuine smile. "I'll be there. Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Kim."

"Excellent!" Mr. Kim exclaimed, clapping his hands together. "I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. The party starts at 7 PM this Saturday at the Grand Hotel. I'll make sure to send you all the details."
