Aisha's sobs pierced the room like a siren, loud and dramatic. Divyansh, in full panic mode, darted to her side, pulling her into a bear hug.

Everyone else stood frozen, their concern palpable—well, everyone except Neha. She stared at Aisha with wide eyes, completely taken aback. Why on earth is she crying like this? she thought, utterly baffled. Aisha, the one who rarely shed a tear, was now having a full-on meltdown.

"Aish, please, don't cry," Divyansh said, voice trembling as if the world was ending. "I wish I could've protected you, but please, never leave us like this—especially me! I can't live without you. I promise I'll protect you always now."

Suddenly, Aisha pushed him away, wiping her tears, confused. "Wait... why am I crying? Oh my God, what's happening?!"

The abrupt shift left everyone stunned, eyes wide in disbelief. Then, she turned to Vikram, her tears replaced by fury. "This is all your fault, Vikram Singh Oberoi!" She pointed at him. "I'm going to kill you!"

Laughter broke the tension as the brothers exchanged amused glances. Vikram, unfazed, gave her a light smack on the head. "It's not me, brat. It's your mood swings."

Neha, finally understanding the absurdity.

Aisha glared, rubbing her head dramatically. "Vikkie Tikkie, how dare you!"

But Aisha wasn't done. She turned to Rajendra with wide, pitiful eyes. "Uncle! Vikkie smacked my head sooo harddd! Even last night! It hurts!"

Rajendra immediately pulled her into a protective hug. "Vikram, how dare you hit my princess!"

The brothers joined in mock outrage, "Yeah, Vikram, how dare you?"

Vikram, speechless, looked at them all, betrayed. "Wait, what?! Are you kidding me?"

Neha, arms crossed, smirked. "She's a devil disguised as an angel."

Vikram groaned. "She's more than just a devil."

Aisha, in full dramatic mode, eyes wide. "You hear that? He's calling me names now!"

Vikram threw his hands up in defeat. "This is insanity!"

Arjun stepped forward, his voice sharp and commanding. "Vikram, control your words before I lose control of my hands."

Aisha, standing behind Vikram, quickly shot him a triumphant smirk, which earned her an instant glare in return. She bit her lip, holding back a giggle, and wiped away her remaining fake tears with a flourish.

"Alright, fine. Now that all this is over, I need to leave. So, see you guys tomorrow!" She waved casually, already moving toward the door.

Kavya, sternly, interrupted, "You're not leaving after disappearing again."

Aisha groaned, dragging out the sound dramatically. "But I promise I'll be back tomorrow!"

Rajendra, concerned, raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going, Aisha?"
