First of all, I apologize for not posting yesterday. To make up for it, I'll double updates today. If want double update, please comment and vote.

Many of you have asked me to resolve the misunderstandings between Shubman and Sara. Please bear with me for two more chapters; everything will be sorted out between them, and there will be a surprise as well.

Continuing with the story.

During their kiss, Sara suddenly pulls back, her mind flooded with memories of Shubman's betrayal. Tears well up in her eyes as she pushes him away.

Sara: Shubman, stop. We can't do this.

Shubman, still affected by alcohol, reaches out to her, but Sara steps back, her face showing both pain and determination.

Sara: I can't forget what you did.

Sara turns away, her heart heavy with the weight of past hurts and broken trust. Without another word, she heads back towards the party hall.

In the party hall, Aryan sees Sara return and comes over.

Aryan: Sara, where have you been? I've been looking for you.

Sara: Aryan, I just went to use the restroom. I've got a bit of a headache, that's all. Excuse me.

Sara quickly makes her way past Aryan, her mind racing with conflicting emotions from the encounter with Shubman. She finds a quiet spot to sit, away from the bustling party, trying to gather her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Shubman, still visibly affected by alcohol, follows Sara's path back into the party.

Across the room, Sara sees Shubman struggling. Despite her hurt, she sends a quick message to Jugnu, asking for help to take Shubman home.

Sara's text: Hey Jugnu, could you please come over and take Shubman home? Shubman's had a bit too much to drink and needs to get home safely.

As Jugnu reads Sara's urgent text about Shubman, he feels a bit confused. But knowing he needs to help, he goes to the party and finds Shubman, who is clearly drunk and having trouble staying steady.

Jugnu: Shubman, are you okay?

Shubman nods slowly, his speech slurred and his eyes unfocused. Jugnu realizes Shubman isn't able to explain himself, so he decides it's best to take him home.

Jugnu:Let's get you out of here, Shubman. Time to go home.

Next day,

Sara:(sitting up in bed, thoughts swirling) Why did I respond to Shubman's kiss last night? Do I still have feelings for him? But I've committed to marrying Aryan. It feels wrong to go ahead without fully moving on from Shubman. Am I betraying Aryan?

(Staring out of the window, the morning light casting shadows in the room)

Sara: I need to be honest with myself and with Aryan. I can't ignore these feelings. I have to talk to him and sort this out. It's not fair to anyone if I'm not sure.

Sara texts Aryan to meet him and goes to a restaurant.

Aryan: (calmly ordering food) So, what did you want to talk about, Sara?

Sara: (nervously) Aryan, I need to be honest with you. Last night at the party... Shubman kissed me, and I... I responded. I think I still have feelings for him, but he hurt me by cheating. I can't go into a marriage with doubts like this. I'm sorry, Aryan. I think we should call off the wedding.

Aryan: (frustrated, trying to be calm) Sara, whatever happened with Shubman is in the past. It doesn't matter to me. Even if you kissed him last night, I understand. All I want is to marry you. I love you, Sara, and I'm willing to look past everything else.

Sara: Aryan, please try to understand. I don't want to ruin your life. I don't know if I can love you the way you deserve.

Aryan: Sara, I'm not giving up on us. If you leave me, I will release Shubman's photo with that girl online. I'm not blackmailing you, but I'll do whatever it takes to be with you.

Sara:(shocked)Aryan, you can't do that. It's not fair to him or to me.

Scene shifts to Shubman's place.

Shubman:(waking up with a throbbing headache, holding his head) "Ugh, my head...

Jugnu: (entering with Shahneel, carrying medicine): Shubi, we brought you some medicine for your hangover.

Shubman: (shocked to see Shahneel) "Shahneel, why are you here?"

Jugnu: "I called her here. she's your sister. She cares about you and wants to help."

Shubman: (frustrated, raising his voice) "I don't want to involve my family in all this drama, Jugnu! This is my mess to clean up."

Shahneel: Shubman, Family isn't just there for the good times. We're here to support you through everything, even if you push us away. Stop being so stubborn. We're here because we care about you, whether you like it or not."

Jugnu: Shubman, Sara texted me last night asking for help. What happened between you two?"

Shubman: (holding his head in regret, speaking with guilt) "I... I screwed up, guys. I... I slapped Sara." and explains everything happened in the party

Shahneel:(shocked and disappointed) "You slapped her? Shubman, how could you do that?"

Jugnu:(disgusted and stern) "That's not acceptable, Shubman. What were you thinking?"

Shubman: "I don't know. I was drunk, but it's no excuse. I made a huge mistake."

Shubman: (tears welling up, head in Shahneel's lap) "Shahneel, after our family, the only person who's stood by me through thick and thin is Sara. And I've hurt her deeply. I don't deserve her."

Shahneel: (stroking Shubman's hair gently) "Shhh, Shubman. I've never seen you like this before. Your tears for Sara show how much you truly love her. Remember the misunderstandings you both had seven years ago? It's probably something similar now. You need to talk to her, Shubman. Resolve this. Sara will come back to you."

Shahneel's words bring back memories of their past for Shubman.
