Recap:

Meeting with Rudra is a suitable alliance for Aastha and gives a glimpse of jealous Anurag.

Let's Start!!!

Aastha and Rudra came to the hall from the balcony. Rudra tried to keep a smile on his face, but his mind replayed Anurag kissing Aastha's cheek and playing with her bangles and earrings.

On the other hand, Aastha's cheeks were having a shade of red and did not meet anyone's gaze, but before anyone could take a wrong turn, she spoke.

Aastha (politely yet firmly): Kaku, I need time to think about this.

All knew something had happened on the balcony. Bhawani told Rudra's family they would call them back. Aastha turned to Rudra with a smile.

Aastha: It was a pleasure meeting you, Rudra.

Rudra (smiles): Same here, Ms. Chawan.

The atmosphere in the hall shifted as soon as Rudra and his family left. Aastha was angry her eyes were fierce.

Aastha (shouts): Mr. Anurag Kapoor, come to the hall in 2 minutes.

Omkar (curious): What's wrong Aastha?

Aastha (calmly): Kaka, let him come you'll get to know.

Anurag descended the stairs with a smile on his face not knowing displeased Aastha waiting for him. As Aastha's face came in his sight he knew he was gone today.

Anurag sauntered the hall and stood in the middle of the room. Aastha gazed at his every step with fire in her eyes. 

Anurag's head bowed like a child caught doing something naughty. His hands were stuffed in his pockets, and he peeked up at Aastha now and then, only to quickly look down when her fierce gaze met his.

Aastha stood in front of him, arms folded tightly across her chest, her eyes narrowing at him. 

Aastha (coldly): What was that?

Anurag (innocently): What?? What are you talking about, Bacha?

Aastha came closer to him, "Oh, so you don't know what I'm talking about?"

Anurag shook his head like a lost child.

Aastha tried to mimic him, "These look pretty, but you know what would look better? No earrings", and "You missed a hairpin this morning, Aastha.", and what about that cheek kiss?

Anurag's eyes widened as Aastha mimicked his teasing voice, throwing his words right back at him. He knew he was in trouble, and the playful smile he'd descended with had completely disappeared.

Aastha (sarcastic): So, Mr. Jealous Businessman, will you care to explain to me what was that?

Anurag raised his hands slightly, palms out in surrender, trying to maintain his innocent façade. "Bacha, I was just—"

Aastha (interrupting, with a sharp tone): "Just what? Trying to sabotage a perfectly normal meeting with your childish antics?"

Omkar and the rest of the family, standing nearby, exchanged amused glances, but they kept their distance, clearly not wanting to intervene.
