Inside, everyone was excited as preparations for the ring-finding ceremony were underway. Aarti, always the fun one, explained the rules with a playful smile.
"Alright, everyone gathers around!" Aarti called, leading Siya and Abhimanyu to the center of the room where a copper bowl of milk was waiting. "In this game, whoever finds the ring first will be the dominant one in the marriage!"
Siya laughed and shared a look with Abhimanyu. Tanya, Rajveer, and Dhruv eagerly joined, forming a circle around the bowl. "Come on, Siya!" Tanya whispered, teasing her. "Let's show them who's boss!"
Dhruv leaned toward Abhimanyu. "You've got this, show them how it's done!"
Rajveer winked at Siya. "May the best spouse win!" Aarti dropped the ring into the bowl, making a small splash. Everyone watched as the ring sank out of sight.
"Ready, set, go!" Aarti called, and Siya and Abhimanyu both stuck their hands in the bowl, searching through the milk.
Siya won the first round, finding the ring and grinning. Tanya cheered. "Yes, Siya! That's how it's done!" Abhimanyu laughed, bumping shoulders with her. "Well played."
In the second round, Abhimanyu was quicker, finding the ring fast. Siya laughed. "Okay, you win this round!"
For the final round, both were determined. They plunged their hands into the milk again. This time, Abhimanyu grabbed the ring first and slid it onto Siya's finger, surprising her.
Siya looked up, confused. "Why?" Abhimanyu smiled, looking at her with affection. "Take it," he said softly.
Siya smiled, understanding. She pulled her hand from the milk, the ring shining on her finger. Tanya cheered, happy with the friendly competition.

When the ceremony was over, the family headed to their rooms, leaving Siya and Abhimanyu alone to enjoy their time together. Tanya, Rajveer, and Dhruv said goodnight and left for the Arora mansion, promising to meet again soon for more celebrations.
Abhimanyu led Siya to his room in the Singhania residence. The room was elegant, with tasteful décor and a light floral scent in the air.
Siya stepped inside and looked around. "It feels so good to be in this room after so many years," she said casually, not realizing how her words would sound.
Abhimanyu turned to her, curious. "Many years? What do you mean?"
Siya paused, slightly caught off guard. "Oh, I just meant... I remember coming here a long time ago for some work," she explained vaguely, her voice trailing off.
Abhimanyu wasn't entirely convinced but decided not to press further. He smiled lightly and gestured to the couch. "Why don't you sit down, Siya?"
Siya nodded and sat on the bed facing him, her expression a mix of hesitation and the urge to share something with him. Noticing her unease, Abhimanyu gently asked, "What is it, Siya? You look like you want to tell me something."
