As the first rays of sunlight filtered through her curtains, Aarushi awoke in a state of confusion. The events of the previous night replayed in her mind, reminding her that her life was about to take a drastic turn. She was going to marry Dhir Oberoi, the man she viewed as her business rival, and the thought weighed heavily on her heart. Feeling overwhelmed, she rolled over and snuggled deeper into her pillow, allowing herself to drift back to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the adjacent room, Drishti was buzzing with excitement as she prepared for a day out with Viraj. Her vibrant energy contrasted sharply with Aarushi's anxiety. Dilisha, noticing her sister's enthusiasm, teased, "Ohoooo hooo didi! Kahan jaa rahi ho itni subah tayaar shaiyar hoke?"

"Chup ho jaa! Kaam kar apna!" Drishti shot back, trying to focus on her look. She slipped into a beautiful, flowing dress that accentuated her figure, a soft smile on her lips as she admired her reflection.

After ensuring she looked perfect, Drishti hopped into her car, eager to meet Viraj. The half-hour drive felt like an eternity as she imagined the fun they would have shopping together. Finally, she arrived at the luxurious mall, its grandeur making her heart flutter with excitement.

As she entered, her eyes scanned the area, and suddenly, she spotted him—Viraj. Just as she was about to call out his name, her gaze landed on Adhirit, who stood beside him, a smirk plastered across his face. "Whaaattttt? No, God, I can't," Drishti muttered under her breath, irritation flashing across her features.

Frustrated, she fought the urge to scream. This was too much for her to handle. But Adhirit had already seen her, and he took pleasure in her discomfort. He leaned closer to Viraj and whispered something that made Viraj laugh, making Drishti's blood boil.

Taking a deep breath, she steeled herself and walked toward them. "Why are you here again?" she demanded, her tone sharp.

"Actually, wait," Viraj interjected before she could continue. "He's just here for a quick errand, chinta mat karo. He won't disturb us."

Drishti felt a flicker of relief as she managed a small smile, hoping the tension would dissipate. With that, she and Viraj headed deeper into the mall, ready to enjoy some retail therapy. They spent some cute moments together, laughing and trying on various outfits. Drishti momentarily forgot about her worries, feeling light-hearted.

But then, Viraj's phone rang, pulling him away from their fun. "Who was that?" Drishti asked, her curiosity piqued.

"It's nothing important," he replied, but his tone suggested otherwise. He answered the call and spoke for a moment before turning to her. "I have an emergency and I need to go. But I called someone to help you with your shopping."

Drishti shook her head, a frown forming on her face. "No, I'm okay. I can manage on my own."

But just then, as if summoned by her irritation, Adhirit appeared, smirking as always. "You called me? I'm here," he announced, his voice dripping with amusement.
