As the Sangeet ceremony progressed, the energy in the room only intensified. Ishanvi's gaze kept drifting towards Aayansh, who seemed to be mesmerized by her. She felt a flutter in her chest, but tried to brush it off as mere nervousness.

Ishanvi takes the mike on the stage and says, "Welcome everyone to the sangeet of my dear best friend Riya and Aryan."

"I hope you enjoy today's program." She continues

"I'd like to start with a special performance, dedicated to the lovely couple," Ishanvi says, her voice confident and clear. "Please put your hands together for Riya's childhood friend, Piyush!"

The crowd applauds as Piyush takes the stage, adjusting the mic stand. He flashes a charming smile at Riya, who blushes and looks away, giggling.

Piyush begins to sing a soulful rendition of a popular Bollywood love song, his voice weaving a spell over the audience. Ishanvi watches, mesmerized, as Riya and Aryan sway to the music, lost in their own little world.

As the performance ends, Ishanvi takes the mic again. "Next up, we have a special dance performance by Aryan's cousins, followed by a medley of songs by our very own in-house singer, Parth!"

The program flows smoothly, with each performance more energetic and entertaining than the last. Ishanvi ensures everything runs like clockwork, her organizational skills shining through.

But amidst the chaos of coordinating the event, Ishanvi's gaze keeps drifting towards Aayansh, who's watching her with an intensity that makes her heart race. She feels like he's seeing right through her, to the secrets she's keeping hidden.

Ishanvi teased Akshay, her finger pointing at him. Akshay pretended to be offended, his hands on his hips.

Ishanvi and Akshay moved in perfect sync, their feet tapping out the rhythm.
