The Party Announcement 🌟

Twinkle’s hard work had finally paid off, and her brand was being recognized in a big way. The success felt surreal, and though she wished Kunj had been there for all the little moments along the journey, she was thrilled that he could join her for this major celebration.

Sameer, ever supportive and thoughtful, organized a grand party in her honor and, as a special gesture, gifted her a stunning, shimmering evening dress—a striking midnight blue gown that hugged her figure perfectly. When she tried it on, she felt both excited and slightly self-conscious, as it was bolder than her usual style. Sameer insisted, though, assuring her she looked fantastic.

Kunj’s Reaction 🔥

Later that evening, Kunj arrived at the party, looking sharp in a charcoal grey suit. He felt a mix of pride and apprehension, knowing Twinkle was now part of a glamorous world that seemed far from their shared life. The minute he entered, he saw her across the room, dazzling in the gown Sameer had gifted. She looked radiant, confident, but his stomach twisted when he noticed Sameer standing beside her, his hand resting casually on her shoulder as he introduced her to guests.

Kunj forced a smile and approached them. Twinkle’s face lit up when she saw him, and she immediately pulled him into the conversation.

Twinkle: “Kunj, isn’t this exciting? I still can’t believe it!”

Kunj (smiling slightly): “You look incredible, Twinkle. Really proud of you.”

But his eyes drifted to Sameer, who seemed far too comfortable at her side, sharing in the celebration as if it were his own achievement. The unease Kunj had kept hidden grew, and he found it harder to mask his discomfort.

The Gift with Strings 🎁

As the night went on, Sameer took every opportunity to stand beside Twinkle, subtly making Kunj feel like an outsider. Then, as the evening was winding down, Sameer took the mic to make an announcement.

Sameer: “Tonight, we celebrate Twinkle Taneja, a rising star in the fashion world! Twinkle, this success is just the beginning, and we’re all here to support you.” He raised a glass in her honor.

After the applause, Sameer stepped down and whispered something to Twinkle that made her laugh, and Kunj caught the moment. His chest tightened, the jealousy gnawing at him.

Finally, Sameer announced a special toast to Twinkle and revealed a surprise—a trip to Paris Fashion Week, fully sponsored by the firm, with Sameer accompanying her as her business partner. The room erupted in applause, but Kunj felt his heart sink. This trip meant more time apart and more time with Sameer. He clenched his jaw, trying to contain his frustration.

An Unexpected Twist 🌪️

Feeling overwhelmed, Kunj excused himself to the terrace for some air. Twinkle, noticing his sudden absence, excused herself from Sameer and went to find him. She sensed something was off but hadn’t quite connected the dots yet.

On the terrace, Kunj was leaning against the railing, his gaze fixed on the night sky. Twinkle approached him, wrapping her arms around him from behind.

Twinkle: “Kunj, what’s going on? You’ve been distant all night…”

Kunj took a deep breath, finally letting some of his feelings surface.

Kunj (after a pause): “It’s just… watching you with Sameer, seeing him in your life every day—it’s been harder than I thought, Twinkle. And now this trip…”

Twinkle (surprised): “Kunj, Sameer’s just my business partner. This success… it’s something I want to share with you, more than anyone.”

But just as they were about to get into a deeper conversation, Sameer walked onto the terrace, interrupting them.
