Back to Arav and Hrithika.
A day before the announcement, Arav decided to do a wedding photoshoot to prove that they were actually married.
It was 6 a.m. Hrithika was taking a bath. Arav had allocated her a big, separate room with everything she needed.
He called her to tell her to get ready, as the full team would arrive in a few minutes.
However, she wasn't answering his calls.
Concerned, Arav, being a gentleman, first knocked on her door.
When there was no response, he said, "I'm coming in," and entered the room.
As he stepped inside, he found the room empty. He called out her name, "Hrithika?"
The silence in the room was unsettling.
The bathroom door was slightly ajar, and steam wafted out.
He approached cautiously, his heart pounding.
Just as he was about to knock on the bathroom door, it swung open, and Hrithika emerged, wrapped in a towel, her hair damp and clinging to her shoulders.
She looked startled to see him there. "Arav? What are you doing in here?"
Arav quickly turned his back to her, feeling a bit flustered.
"I'm sorry! You weren't answering my calls, and I got worried.
The team will be here any minute; you need to get ready."
Hrithika smiled softly, sensing his genuine concern.
"I'll be out in five minutes. Just wait for me outside."
Arav nodded, still avoiding eye contact, and swiftly exited the room, closing the door behind him.
As he waited in the hallway, he couldn't help but wonder why he felt so nervous around her.
They had been pretending to be married for weeks now, but this was the first time he had felt such a strong mix of emotions.
A few minutes later, Hrithika emerged from her room, Her face was radiant, and her presence commanded attention.

**Hrithika's POV:**
As the designers took my measurements, I tried to stay focused, but my mind kept drifting back to the moment in the bathroom when Arav had walked in.
The surprise in his eyes, the way he had immediately turned his back to give me privacy-it had caught me off guard.
There was something different about him today, something that made me more aware of his presence.
The makeup artists and stylists worked around me, but I barely noticed.
My thoughts were on Arav.
We had been pretending to be married for weeks, and while I had grown used to the charade, today felt different.
The photoshoot, the announcement-it was all becoming too real.
When the photoshoot began, I did my best to follow the photographers' instructions.
