Aditi was once again tying the Dori of her dress. Finally, she exclaimed, "What the hell is this zigzag pattern? Can't these people make normal dresses?"

Abhay peeked out from the closet and slapped his forehead. He stepped out, took Aditi's hand, and said, "Let me do this."

Having just taken a shower, Abhay's hands and hair were still wet. The cool touch on Aditi's back made her shiver, and his shirtless state caused her cheeks to flush. Aditi gripped her lehenga tightly.

After tying the dori, Abhay left her side and returned to the closet. As the closet door closed, Aditi began to breathe heavily. She noticed a towel on the floor – her towel.

She picked up the towel and knocked on the closet door angrily, "What is this, Hukum sa? You used my towel as well? How dare you?"

Abhay opened the closet and pulled her inside. Aditi stumbled against his chest. He smiled and said, "Yes, what is it, Princess?"

Aditi turned away and pleaded, "Let me go, Abhay. Please." Abhay released her and asked, "What did you say?" Confused, Aditi repeated, "Let me go." Abhay shook his head and pressed, "No, what came after that?"

She replied, "Please." Abhay held her hand and insisted, "No 'princess' between those words." Aditi, puzzled, asked, "What?"

Abhay gazed at her pleadingly and urged, "Please, princess, you called me by my name for the first time. Say it once more."

Aditi was about to deny when she suddenly shouted, "Vidhi!" As Abhay turned to look, Aditi seized the moment and escaped.

He sighed and proceeded to select his clothes.

Today was Vidhi's Haldi ceremony. Aditi knelt down and gently applied Haldi to Vidhi's cheeks, eliciting a smile from her. Gradually, everyone took turns smearing Haldi on her face.

Riya, with Haldi in her hands, sneaked up behind Karan and dabbed it on his cheeks before running off. Karan gave her a resigned look. Since that day, she had become more attached, yet Karan had secretly started to enjoy her playful antics.

As Aditi headed to her room to wash her face, someone whisked her behind a pillar. Abhay tenderly spread Haldi across Aditi's cheek, his hand gliding down to her neck. Aditi was trying to push him, but he suddenly kissed her neck. 

His hands slided on Aditi's waist and then her back. Aditi was feeling shivers with each touch.

Vidhi entered the washroom to freshen up. While cleaning, she heard the door shut behind her. Looking up, she saw Vivaan in the mirror.

In a soft tone, Vidhi asked, "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at the Pratap mansion?"

Vivaan drew her close by the waist and replied, "I needed to apply haldi to my fiancée. How could I miss that? But I'll only apply it to the areas that remain."

Vidhi's eyes widened at his words. Vivaan released her and stepped outside. Peering out, Vidhi saw him return with a bowl of Haldi.

Vidhi shook her head and said, "No Vivaan. Someone will see us." Vivaan didn't even hear one word and made her sit on the sink slap. He removed her hair from her back exposing her back. He opened all three Doris on her back which made her blouse loose. 

Vivaan placed his lips on Vidhi's and started kissing her. He ran his hands on Vidhi's bare back applying cold Haldi to her back. Vivaan left her lips and slid down to her neck.
