Arya and Ashvi got out of the car and looked up at the huge complex in front of them. The connected buildings seemed to touch the sky, their shiny glass and steel exteriors sparkling in the afternoon sun. The size of the structure left them breathless.

Arya held lunchboxes for Shreyansh, who had skipped breakfast. But now, she was unsure. "Should we give it to Vihaan or Yuvaan instead?" she whispered, worried she might make Shreyansh angry. Ashvi scolded her, "Go give it to him yourself, you made him skip breakfast!"

They had also packed lunch for Yuvaan and Vihaan. As they entered, employees greeted them warmly. "Good afternoon, Mam!" they said in unison, smiling. Arya smiled back, her eyes crinkling. "Good afternoon," she replied confidently.

But then, the lobby fell silent. Everyone stared at Arya with respect and awe. Akhil, Shreyansh's secretary, emerged. "Mam, you're here!" he said, his voice low and respectful. Arya asked, "Where is Shreyansh?" Akhil replied, "He's on the 10th floor, Mam. I'll take you."

Arya nodded and led the way to the elevator, Ashvi following closely.

"I'm feeling nervous," Arya admitted, looking at Ashvi with a hint of anxiety. "Why?" Ashvi asked, noticing her friend's unease. Arya shrugged. "I don't know.""

Just calm down and don't say anything stupid in front of Shreyansh's bhaii. I don't want to make him angrier," Ashvi cautioned, understanding Arya's concerns.

Arya took a deep breath and smiled wryly. "I'll try. But you're coming with me, right?"

Ashvi teased, "Oh no, I'm not going with you anymore. I'll wait outside. You can go give lunch to your husband alone." Arya chuckled at Ashvi's playful tone, but then a thought struck her.

"Wait, take this and give lunch to Yuvaan, please," Arya said, handing Ashvi a lunchbox. "Me?" Ashvi asked, confused.

"Yes, you. I need to go see my husband, but you can do this for me. Give lunch to my brother-in-law. I'll send Vihaan's bhaii lunch with Akhil," Arya explained. Ashvi hesitated but nodded her head

As they reached the 20th floor, Arya felt a mix of emotions: nervousness, love, and a hint of apprehension. She took another deep breath, preparing herself for the encounter with Shreyansh.

As the elevator doors slid open, Akhil gestured to their left. "Shreyansh sir's cabin is this way, along with Vihaan sir's." He then nodded to their right. "But Yuvaan sir's cabin is that way." Arya and Ashvi nodded in unison,

Ashvi took a deep breath, shouldering the lunchbox containing Yuvaan's meal. She made her way to the right, her heels clicking on the polished floor. As she approached Yuvaan's cabin, she read the nameplate: "Yuvaan Singh Rajput". A shiver ran down her spine. Don't know why?

With a steady hand, Ashvi knocked on the door. A deep, smooth voice called out from within, "Come in."

Meekly, Ashvi whispered, "Heyy," her soft voice piercing through the silence. Yuvaan's gaze shifted from his work, his eyes locking onto hers. His heart skipped a beat as he took in her radiant appearance, her colorful attire making her look divine. "Ashvi," he called out, his voice barely above a whisper, beckoning her inside.

With gentle steps, Ashvi entered the cabin, her eyes meeting Yuvaan's. She placed the lunchbox on the table, her hands brushing against the wood. " me or Arya came with lunch for you guys," she explained softly. "Arya went to give lunch to Shreyansh bhai or Vihaan bhai, and I came to give it to you."

Yuvaan's eyes widened in surprise, his face a picture of hesitation and disbelief. "You came to give it to me?" he asked, his voice laced with wonder. Ashvi nodded, her reply barely audible, "Yes."
