It was evening at Rudra's farmhouse. The doorbell rang, and Siya sprinted to answer it, knowing Rudra would never let her hear the end of it if she took too long.
Siya: Please, no more taunts today!
She swung the door open to find Rudra, Nehaal, and Nivyansh standing there.
Rudra: Were you busy planning how to ruin someone's family, too? After all, your parents must have definitely taught you this.
Siya: N-no, sorry.
Rudra shot her a glare as he stepped inside, leaving Siya feeling like she'd just been slapped.
Nivyansh: Can you make something for me to eat? I'm hungry.
Siya: Y-yes, umm, what do you want?
Nivyansh: Make anything you want.
Siya: Okay... Ohhh, okay!
She rushed to the kitchen, her heart racing.

*Time Skip*
Siya was busy cooking, trying to ignore the weight of Rudra's earlier comment, when the doorbell rang again.
Nehaal: Oh, Mr. Mehra! What a surprise!
Mr. Mehra: Yeah, actually I wanted to invite you guys.
Nehaal led him into the hall.
Nehaal: Come in!
Both of them sank into the sofa.
Rudra: Mr. Mehra, how are you?
Mr. Mehra: I'm good. What about you?
Rudra: Good, too.
Nehaal: Mr. Mehra, you were saying you wanted to invite us somewhere?
Mr. Mehra: Oh, yes! Tomorrow, our company will celebrate its 20th anniversary. I'm throwing a party at Hotel XXX. I'd be thrilled if you all could join!
Rudra: Why not? Of course, we will join!
Mr. Mehra smiled, clearly pleased.
Mr. Mehra: I'll be really happy if you-
Just then, Siya emerged from the kitchen, unaware of the male presence.
Siya: Umm, dinner is ready.
Mr. Mehra: Oh, who's she? Wait, is she your wife? Hey, what's your name? I couldn't make it to your wedding for some reasons.
Siya: Umm...
Nehaal: Ah, yes! She's Rudra's wife. Her name is Siya.
He shot her a glare that screamed, What was the need to come outside? Couldn't she stay in the kitchen a little longer?
Mr. Mehra: Oh, okay! Then tomorrow you'll have to join our company's success party, Siya!
Siya: Ah, umm...
Rudra: Yes, don't worry. She will join.
He shot her a death glare, like he was saying, *If you don't show up, I swear...*
Siya: Ah, yess.
Nivyansh: Umm, bhabhi, dinner, I'm hungry!
He quickly tried to divert the attention away from Siya.
Siya: Ahh, yes, yes, come!

In the kitchen, Nivyansh sat silently at the table while Siya served him dinner.
*Nivyansh's thoughts were a whirlwind.* After his conversations with Bhuvan and Nalini, he was starting to feel a little soft corner for Siya. But trust? Nah, he wasn't ready to save her from the torture of his brother just yet. And Nehaal? He was also reconsidering everything. But whenever Rudra said not to interfere, he was quick to drop it. Siya wasn't someone close enough for him to feel bad about.

*Next Night - At the Party*
Two cars pulled up in front of Hotel XXX. Rudra and Siya stepped out of one car, while Nehaal and Nivyansh emerged from the other.
As they walked into the party hall, Rudra turned to Siya.
Rudra: Stand here silently, and don't you dare go anywhere. I'll come back in a bit.
Rudra, Nehaal, and Nivyansh approached Mr. Mehra to congratulate him.
Siya: Why does this feel like a trap?
She leaned against a wall, feeling like a fish out of water. Just then, someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around, and it was Maahi.
Maahi: Didi, what are you doing here?
Siya: I came to this party with Rudra. What about you?
Maahi: Oh, I got a job here as a receptionist! I left my kindergarten job.
Siya: Really? I'm so happy for you! By the way, how are Ahvi and Ayaan?
In her mind: I wish my husband was actually good so I could help you guys with your financial problems.
Maahi: They're doing well! You know, I was about to call you, but I'm glad I found you here.
Both of them continued chatting and laughing, until a figure lurked in the corner, watching them intently.
Unknown Girl: Just wait and watch, Siya. I'll snatch Rudra from you. He was mine, and he will always be mine.
She called over a waiter.
Unknown Girl: Waiter!
Waiter:Yes, ma'am?
Unknown Girl: Take this drink and give it to that girl.
She pointed at Siya with a sly grin.
Waiter: But ma'am-
Unknown Girl: Don't worry; she's my sister. She likes orange juice, and I was going to bring it to her. But someone called me, so can you give this to her?
Waiter: Ahh, yes, ma'am. Sure!
The waiter replied, clearly oblivious to the brewing storm.
As he made his way to Siya, the unknown girl smirked, watching every step with malicious glee.
*Poor waiter, so innocent and naive. How can he trust someone so easily?*

Siya stood in her corner, completely unaware of the danger approaching her with that drink. Little did she know, a twist of fate was just around the corner.
