Elsewhere at the party, Agastya found a moment to speak privately with his sister, Nandini, and her best friend, Ragini.
“Nandini, I’ve been meaning to talk to you,” Agastya began, his tone serious yet proud. “Your book... It’s phenomenal. The way it’s been received, the impact it’s had – you’ve outdone yourself.”
Nandini blushed slightly, glancing around to ensure no one was listening. “Thank you, Agastya. It means a lot to hear that from you. I’ve always wanted my work to speak for itself, which is why I chose to remain anonymous.”
Agastya nodded, understanding her reasoning. “I respect that. But I have to say, it’s a remarkable achievement. I’m so proud of you.”
Nandini smiled warmly. “I couldn’t have done it without your support, Agastya. And of course, Ragini’s encouragement.”
"Ab mai itni bhi kuch khaas nhi" Ragini commented.
“Ragini’s been a great friend to you,” Agastya agreed. “But it’s your talent that’s shining through. The world deserves to know the genius behind this book.”
Nandini shook her head gently. “Maybe one day. For now, I’m happy with the way things are.”
Agastya smiled, respecting her choice. “Whenever you’re ready, the world will be waiting. Until then, just know I’m incredibly proud of you.”

Towards the end of the evening, Agastya spotted his best friend, Vihaan, enjoying the event. Seizing the moment, Agastya approached him with a broad smile.
“Vihaan! Kaisa hai bhai?” Agastya greeted, giving him a friendly slap on the back.
“Main theek hoon, kya zabardast party organise ki hai tune bhai!” Vihaan replied enthusiastically.
“Mera har event hamesha top-notch hota hai,” Agastya agreed. “Vaise, weekend ko kya kar raha hai?”
“Ek important meeting thi. Kyu kya hua?” Vihaan asked, curious.
“To fir cancel krde vo meeting. Saturday ko mera ghar aa ja, mummy papa ko kisi relative ki shaadi mei bahar jaana hai. Ghar pe maze krenge,vaise bhi bahut time se nhi mile hai ham.” Agastya suggested.
“Wah! Great idea. Main dekhta hu fir meeting ka. Kitne baje?” Vihaan responded, clearly interested.
“Kabhi bhi aa jaiyo, vaise bhi mai weekend pe office nhi jaata. Bahut saari baatein karni hain,” Agastya said with a grin.
“Pakka. Main try krunga meeting postpone krne ka.” Vihaan replied, shaking Agastya’s hand firmly.
“Done deal. See you then!” Agastya said, feeling happy about the upcoming reunion.
