*Next morning:*
Siya was sound asleep when, suddenly, cold water splashed over her. She jolted up, panicking, and opened her eyes to see Rudra standing there, a bucket in his hand. Nehaal and Nivyansh stood at the door with blank expressions on their faces. Siya glanced at the clock-3:58 a.m.
Siya: Wait... You said you wake up at 4:30.
Rudra: Yes, but today we changed our mood. Got up at 3:45.
He smirked. But I told you to wake up before us, didn't I?
Siya: How am I supposed to know when you wake up if you keep changing your mood?
Rudra: Don't sleep then. I don't care what you do, just be up before us and make breakfast. You're not a princess here.
Siya sighed, biting back her tears, and started walking toward the bathroom.
Rudra: Where do you think you're going?
Siya: To freshen up in the washroom...
Rudra: No. First, make breakfast. Then do whatever you want.
Siya hesitated. But-
Rudra cut her off sharply: Dare to argue with me, and I'll show you how evil I can be.
Siya sighed in defeat, her words stuck in her throat, and turned towards the kitchen.

*Meanwhile, Nehaal and Nivyansh stood watching:*
Nehaal: You know... I feel something's off.
Nivyansh: Yeah... Same here.
---
*Breakfast:*
Siya quietly served the breakfast, still dripping from the water Rudra had thrown on her.
Nehaal and Nivyansh sat at the table, silently eating the food she'd prepared. Rudra walked out of his room and took his seat.
Rudra: Are you just going to stand there like a statue, or will you serve me?
Siya, flustered: Y-Yes... I'll serve you.
She quickly served Rudra, her hands trembling slightly. Rudra took a bite, then immediately spit it out.
Rudra: You only know how to talk back, huh? Learn to cook, or you won't even get to eat.
Siya stood there, her eyes brimming with tears.
Siya: Yes, I'll learn...
Nehaal and Nivyansh glanced at each other but stayed silent, neither willing to intervene.
(Nehaal and Nivyansh, in their heads: ladne do Miya biwi ko, hume toh khana khane se matlab hai 🤣)
( Note for readers- rudra was just trying to scare siya, don't worry he won't make her starve)

*Time skip - Singhania Groups:*
Ahaan: Ahvi, are you sure I'll get a job here? I haven't even completed my engineering degree yet!
Ahvi: Even I don't know for sure, Ahaan. Papa told me to bring you here for the interview. You know our family's financial situation. We can barely cover expenses. Also... you know Papa's planning to get Maahi didi married soon.
(Papa means father, didi means elder sister)
Ahaan: *Yeah... I want her to marry someone good.*
Ahvi: Exactly! So stop wasting time and get inside already.
Ahaan walked off to his interview while Ahvi waited outside. She was standing quietly when she bumped into someone's chest.
Ahvi: Oh! I'm so sorry!
The man she'd collided with was none other than Nivyansh.
Nivyansh: Don't you have eyes, or are they just for your makeup?
Ahvi, flustered: N-no, I'm sorry...
Nivyansh shot her a dismissive glance. Whatever. Just move. I don't have time for this.
He walked off while Ahvi mumbled under her breath.
Ahvi, thinking: How does his family even tolerate him?
( Btw nivyansh and Ahvi saw eachother in Siya's wedding but forgot everything 😄)

*Time skip:*
Ahaan came out of the building, grinning.
Ahvi: What happened? Did you get the job?
Ahaan: Yes, I did! I'm so happy!
Ahvi: Woahh! Let's go home and celebrate then!
Ahaan: Not now. Let's wait till Maahi didi and Papa are there. Tonight.
Ahvi: Yes, let's!

*Back at Singhania Mansion:*
Nehaal and Nivyansh stood in front of Nalini and Bhuvan Singhania, Rudra and Nivyansh's grandparents.
Nalini: How's Rudra treating Siya?
Nehaal: Of course, he's treating her well.
Nivyansh: Yes, Grandma.
Bhuvan narrowed his eyes: You're not lying, are you? That girl is innocent. We can't punish her for her parents' deeds. She probably has no idea about their crimes.
Nehaal and Nivyansh exchanged glances but nodded.
Nivyansh: Don't worry, Grandpa. He's treating her just fine.
Bhuvan: Good.
After sometime, they left the singhania mansion.
---
*In Nehaal's car:*
Nivyansh: What do you think? Is Siya really innocent?
Nehaal: Yeah, I get that feeling too. She doesn't seem like the spoiled rich kid type. Even Her cooking was good. And if she doesn't know about her parents' crimes, then she shouldn't be punished.
Nivyansh: You're right. We should talk to Bhai about it.
( Bhai means brother)
---
*Time skip - Rudra's office:*
Nehaal: Bhai, I really think Siya's innocent.
Nivyansh: Yeah, she doesn't seem like she's involved in any of her parents' wrongdoings.
Rudra, leaning back in his chair: I told you both before-don't fall for her act. I'm the one handling her. You two just stick to your work.
Nivyansh and Nehaal, hesitant but compliant, nodded. Neither cared enough to argue with Rudra, especially not over Siya.
