NEXT MORNING ; A HALDI MORNING

In the opulent halls of the Jodhpur palace, a sea of yellow adorned every corner, marking the joyous occasion of the Prince's haldi ceremony. Vamika, already prepared for the festivities, had busied herself with tasks alongside the elders and siblings. With some time to spare before the prince's ceremony, she decided to visit Ekanksh's room to see what he was up to.

Meanwhile, Ekanksh, donned in sleek black attire that accentuated his toned physique, was deeply engrossed in planning the mission with his bodyguards and personal assistant. The room exuded an aura of secrecy and determination as they discussed strategies in his mafia-esque demeanor. Amidst their intense deliberations, Ekanksh was suddenly alerted by the soft jingle of paayal, prompting him to silence the discussion and signal his bodyguards with a meaningful reminder, "Remember?" With a nod of affirmation, they departed, leaving Ekanksh alone in the grand hall.

As Vamika cautiously entered Ekanksh's chamber, her heart raced with excitement to surprise him. Carrying a tray of delicious aloo ke parathe that she had lovingly prepared for him, she tiptoed closer, intending to startle him. However, before she could execute her plan, Ekanksh, without even looking up from his phone, calmly addressed her, "I know it's you, my Jaaneman. No need to waste your energy." His smug smirk caught Vamika off guard, her shock evident in her adorable pout.

Frustrated yet charmed by Ekanksh's perceptiveness, Vamika couldn't help but playfully declare, "Ekanksh, I hate you." His response, "I love you too," only served to deepen her affection for him. With a bashful smile, she moved to take a seat beside him, but Ekanksh had other plans. Pulling her onto his lap, he ensnared her in his embrace, causing her to shyly bury her face in his chest.

"Mmm, Ekanksh," she murmured softly, her words muffled against him, "I brought food for you, and I even made it myself." Hearing her admission, Ekanksh's heart swelled with joy. The thought of Vamika preparing a meal for him filled him with an indescribable happiness. As he held her close, he couldn't help but revel in the warmth of their love, silently thanking the stars for blessing him with someone as precious as Vamika.

In that intimate moment, amidst the grandeur of the palace and the clandestine world of missions and secrecy, Ekanksh and Vamika found solace in each other's arms, their love transcending all boundaries. And as they savored the simple pleasure of being together, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would always find strength in their bond—a bond forged in love, trust, and the shared promise of a future filled with endless possibilities.

As Ekanksh requested to be fed by Vamika, her heart fluttered with both excitement and a hint of nervousness. Shyly, she picked up the first piece of aloo ke paratha and offered it to him. Holding her breath, she watched as he accepted the morsel, his eyes meeting hers in a tender exchange.

With each bite, Vamika fed him, her hands trembling slightly from the intensity of their connection. As Ekanksh savored the flavors, a wave of nostalgia washed over him. "Your hands have such magic," he murmured softly, his voice tinged with emotion. "You make me remember my mom's food." Despite the pang of longing for his mother's presence, he managed to compose himself, opening his mouth for another bite.

Vamika's heart swelled with love and compassion as she continued to feed him, cherishing every moment of their intimate exchange. With each morsel, she felt their bond deepen, transcending the boundaries of time and space.

As the last piece disappeared into Ekanksh's mouth, Vamika gently withdrew, ready to attend to her other responsibilities. However, before she could make a move, Ekanksh held her tightly, his gaze filled with unwavering determination.

Setting aside the tray, Ekanksh scooped Vamika up in his arms, her surprise evident in her wide eyes. Yet, despite the suddenness of his actions, she trusted him completely, her heart racing with anticipation.
