11 MONTHS LATER ,

Vaidehi and Vikramaditya are busy with their own lives. Vaidehi moved on easily and that is something which made her doubt if her love for srihan was real. Indrani almost tried to kick shalini out of the house but vaidehi stopped her. Shalini gave birth to a baby girl and named her as Diya. Much to shalini's distress her baby always smiles and giggles by seeing vaidehi. Diya is extremely fond of her aunt vaidehi. 

Vikramaditya kept on secretly admiring her and also spoke to her few times. But he always ended up by choosing wrong conversations. It has been 2 months since he saw her. He is strolling in his room and he saw an envelope. It is a party invitation. He frowned by looking at the invitation as he is not interested in attending it.

He got ready for the party by wearing a navy blue suit and a classy vintage watch. He came downstairs and saw his mother. She is shouting on someone. He shook his head and went out.

The grand ballroom was a spectacle of luxury. It is filled with the city's elite engaging in animated conversations. Vikramaditya is  surrounded by a group of his contemporaries. He was discussing the latest business trends with a mix of charm and authority. His confident demeanor commanded attention. his laugh is punctuating the conversation with a hint of superiority.

( Contemporary 1 : Vikramaditya ! Meeru recent ga chesina venture ippudu hot topic. Meeku ilanti opportunities ela dorukatayandhi ? )

Contemporary 1 :  "Vikramaditya, your latest venture is making waves. How do you keep finding these opportunities ?"

Vikramaditya looked at him with a self-assuring grin.

( Vikramaditya : adantha emi ledhu. Andharu paina paina chusedhi nenu lothuga chusthanu. Ekkada invest cheyyalo naaku baga telusu ! )

Vikramaditya :  "It's all about seeing the potential others overlook. Knowing where to invest before it's obvious."

( contemporary 2 : Alagey meeru eppudu maa andharikantey oka adugu mundhu untaru. Maaku mee secrets emaina chepthara ? ) 

Contemporary 2 : "And you're always ahead of the curve. Any secrets you're willing to share ?"

As the conversation continued, the doors to the ballroom swung open with a dramatic flair. Vaidehi made her entrance.  her presence is  commanding immediate attention. She glided into the room with effortless elegance, her navy blue saree shimmering under the chandelier's light. Her confidence was palpable, and she moved with a blend of grace and authority that left a noticeable impact on the crowd.

( Vikramaditya : Devuda ! Em timing eyy babu. Vaidehi ikkada vachhindhi. )

Vikramaditya : "Well, well. Speak of the devil. It seems Vaidehi has decided to join the party."

( contemporary 1 : meeku avida telusa ? )

Contemporary 1 : "You know her ? "

That is when he realised that he was loud. But he decided to answer it instead of diverting it like a dumb guy.

( Vikramaditya : Adedho paata story lendi sir ! Ippudu adantha anavasaram manaki. )

Vikramaditya : "Let's just say we have a history. And it looks like she's not one to be overlooked."

Vaidehi who is  now close enough to hear, turned her head slightly, catching Vikramaditya's gaze. She approached with a purposeful stride, her eyes locked on him.
