As the convoy of cars wound its way toward the royal palace, the air was thick with anticipation for the upcoming wedding festivities. Unbeknownst to most, Ekansh, Samrath, and Arjun were on high alert, their minds occupied with the pressing need to ensure the safety of their loved ones. The lavish palace, built by their grandfather for his beloved wife, now served as a sanctuary—though its walls held secrets that only a few were aware of.

In one car, Anuv, Avni, Arjun, Ritvik, Lavanya, and Chavi were engaged in lively conversation, the atmosphere filled with laughter and excitement. Anuv was cracking jokes, while Chavi recorded every moment on her phone, ensuring that no memory would go undocumented. 

Avni and Arjun were exchanging playful banter, their joy infectious as they prepared for the celebrations.

Meanwhile, in the second car, Ekansh and Ishita sat close together, an electric tension hanging in the air. They were surrounded by a comfortable silence, both lost in their own world while the outside scenery blurred past. 

Ishita stole a glance at Ekansh, who was focused on the road ahead. His profile was illuminated by the soft glow of the car lights, and she couldn't help but admire the way his jawline tensed slightly as he navigated the twists and turns. She felt her heart flutter, and before she knew it, she leaned in closer, resting her head against his shoulder.

"HMM," he murmured, glancing down at her with a soft smile that sent a warmth rushing through her. 

"What's got you all quiet?"

"Just enjoying the moment,of us sitting in the very same car where we shared our first kiss" she replied, a shy smile spreading across her lips. 

"It's nice to have a photographic memory Dr. shaiba i wish i had the same so that i can relive that moment."Ekansh turned slightly, his eyes searching hers. 

You know I'll always make sure you can relive that moment , right?" Her voice was low and sincere, the intensity in her gaze made his breath catch in his throat.

"I know," he whispered, feeling a flutter of affection for her. With that, Ekansh reached for her hand, their fingers interlocking as he brought it to his lips, placing a gentle kiss on her knuckles.

 The simple gesture sent a shiver down her spine, igniting a warmth that spread through her entire being. She squeezed his hand in return, silently promising to be his strength, just as he was hers.

What happened? Your confidence evaporated with just a hand kiss, hnn?" Ekansh teased, his voice low and playful, as he leaned slightly closer.

Ishita's face flushed, but she shot him a teasing look. "Who said my confidence is gone?" she whispered back, though the blush on her cheeks betrayed her.

Ekansh chuckled softly, his fingers still tracing circles on her hand. "You look flustered, Dr. Sahiba," he murmured, his eyes dancing with mischief as he closed the small distance between them. 

focus on driving ahem ahem backseat is occupied don't forget. she whispered turning away, trying to regain composure, but his presence made her heart flutter. Every quiet moment they shared was filled with electricity, the tension between them growing with every stolen glance and gentle touch.
