After a month.....
Singhania Sadan - Living RoomThe celebrations of Gayu and Vivaan’s wedding had barely settled when the Singhanias and Goenkas began discussing the marriage of Naira and Arjun. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, but beneath the surface, there were undercurrents of confusion and unspoken emotions.
Naira, although trying to appear happy, was internally conflicted. Her heart still belonged to Kartik, but the pressure from her family and the growing talks of her marriage to Arjun left her feeling helpless. On the other hand, Arjun had been increasingly distracted by thoughts of Anjali, the lively girl he had recently met.
In Arjun’s Room...
Arjun sat on his bed, staring at his phone. His thoughts were consumed by Anjali—her smile, her energy, her presence that seemed to brighten up his world in a way he hadn’t expected. It had only been a short time since they met, but the connection he felt with her was undeniable.He recalled the moments he shared with Naira, how they always seemed to be more of friends than anything else. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks—he was not in love with Naira. His feelings for Anjali were not something he could ignore or suppress any longer.
Arjun (thinking to himself):How can I go through with this marriage when I’m not in love with Naira? It’s not fair to her... or to me.
Determined to make things right, Arjun made a decision that would change everything. He knew he had to talk to his family, but more importantly, he had to speak with Naira.

Singhania Sadan - Naira’s Room
Naira was sitting quietly in her room when Arjun knocked on the door. He entered, his face serious, his heart heavy with the decision he had made.
Arjun (softly):Naira, mujhe tumse kuch zaroori baat karni hai...
Naira looked up, her heart skipping a beat. The tone of his voice told her that this wasn’t just any conversation.
Arjun:Naira, hum dono ke beech jo bhi tha, woh dosti se zyada kuch nahi tha. Tum mere liye hamesha special rahogi, but...
He hesitated, trying to find the right words.
Arjun:..main tumse shaadi nahi kar sakta.
Naira felt as if the ground beneath her had collapsed. She stared at Arjun, unable to process what he had just said.
Naira (barely whispering):Kyun, Arjun? Kya maine kuch galat kiya hai?
Arjun (shaking his head):Nahi, Naira. Tumne kuch galat nahi kiya. Bas... main kisi aur ke liye kuch feel karne laga hoon...Woh meri duniya banne lagi hai....mei janta hun tum aur kartik ek dusre se pyaar karte ho....
The truth of Arjun's words pierced through Naira’s heart, and she knew in that moment that it wasn’t just about her; it was about Kartik too. She realized that neither of them had been truthful to themselves or each other.
Abandoned Warehouse - Udaipur Outskirts
Vikram Shah, who had been lurking in the shadows, plotting against the Goenkas, knew he needed to act fast. He decided to target Arjun, knowing that his emotional state made him vulnerable. Arjun will never deny the request of his father 😈.
Vikram called Arjun, pretending to be someone who could offer him advice. Arjun, desperate for clarity, agreed to meet at an isolated location. Little did he know, Vikram had set a trap for him.
Udaipur Streets - Naira’s Car
Naira had been in turmoil since Arjun’s revelation, but her concern for him was still strong. When she noticed him leaving in haste, she decided to follow, fearing something might be wrong. As she was about to leave, Anjali, who had come to check on Naira, insisted on joining her.
Anjali (worried):Mujhe lagta hai kuch galat hone wala hai. Chalo, Naira, hum dono uske peeche jaate hain.
Naira nodded, and together, they followed Arjun’s car. The drive led them to the outskirts of Udaipur, where an eerie silence filled the air as they approached an abandoned warehouse.
Arjun entered the warehouse, his mind clouded with uncertainty, but the moment he stepped inside, he sensed something was off. Suddenly, Vikram appeared from the shadows, his sinister smile sending chills down Arjun’s spine.
Arjun: Vikram??
Vikram (smirking):Welcome, Arjun. Tumhare aane ka hi intezaar tha mere bache...
Arjun’s heart raced as he realized the danger he was in. Just as things were about to take a darker turn, Naira and Anjali arrived, hiding behind some crates, watching the scene unfold.
Anjali (whispering):Naira, yeh insaan khatarnaak lagta hai. Hume Arjun ko bachana hoga.
Naira (nodding, determined):Haan, Anjali. Lekin hume yeh soch samajh ke karna hoga. Vikram Shah kya kar sakta hai iska hume koi andaza nahi hai....
As the tension in the warehouse escalated, Naira and Anjali prepared to step in and save Arjun from whatever evil plan Vikram had made, knowing that their actions could determine not just Arjun’s fate, but also the future of the entire Goenka family.
What will happen next?
To be continued......
