Everyone gathered around the newly wedded couple, seated on a platform set up for them to play Aeki-Beki or the "Find the Ring" ceremony. The family had debated whether they should include this game, but once they mentioned it, Isha agreed, and Rudransh hadn't objected, which meant a yes.

Now, Isha sat on one side of the large bowl, while Rudransh sat on the other. Her eyes were cast down in nervousness, overwhelmed by the attention of the family members—especially the intense gaze of her new husband, whom she had just kissed. She didn't have the courage to look into his eyes, but his gaze remained fixed on her.

The bowl was filled with milky water and rose petals floating on top. Jahnvi approached, sitting beside the pot with a ring in her hand, a playful smile lighting up her face.

"This is the thread of your life. Whoever finds it will have the other as their servant," she teased, showing no fear of her Bhai Sa when her Bhabhi Sa was involved. She had gained a new armor in the form of her sister-in-law, and she intended to use it.

Jahnvi dropped the ring into the pot, which was deep enough for their hands to fully submerge. Just as she was about to say "start," Aaditya whistled loudly from behind. Isha hesitantly dipped her hand into the water, and Rudransh followed suit.

Isha tried to focus on finding the ring, doing her best to ignore the hands that kept brushing against hers. She searched the entire bowl but couldn't find the ring, her brows furrowing in concentration. Just then, her hand touched Rudransh's again, and when she tried to pull back, he held it underwater.

She looked up at him, but quickly lowered her gaze again, only to feel a ring slip onto her index finger. His grip loosened, and she withdrew her hand. As she pulled it out of the water, everyone cheered at the sight of the ring on her finger.

"Bhabhi is the official boss!" some of the family members shouted, while others laughed and clapped. No one had imagined Rudransh's wedding would be this fun and lively. In fact, no one had even imagined he would get married—but here they were.

Isha glanced up, only to see his cold gaze still fixed on her. She often tried to read him, but he never showed his emotions, which always left her feeling nervous under his watchful eyes.

Isha sat on the bed as the girls around her giggled softly, whispering among themselves.

"Everything you need is already in this room. You're quite familiar with it, after all, so I don't think you'll need our help with anything else," Jahnvi said teasingly. Isha wasn't sure if she was being playful or genuine and shook her head in response.

Just then, Aarohi came rushing in from outside, pointing excitedly towards the door. "Bhai Sa is coming!" she announced.

Those three words were all it took for the girls to hurry outside, already planning how to "loot" their Bhai Sa. They stood by the door, ready, but unsure who would be brave enough to ask him for money.

Rudransh stood outside, his face as emotionless as ever, his hard gaze fixed on them. The girls hesitated but extended their hands anyway.

"Entry fee," one of them finally said.

"How much?" Rudransh asked, his voice calm. Everyone was shocked at how fast he agreed, but then again, this was Rudransh they were talking about.

"If we say 30 lakh?" they tested the waters, half-jokingly.

A few seconds later, their phones buzzed. Each girl looked at her phone, eyes wide.
