NO TARGET 

CONTINUE THE NEXT DAY AFTER KAVYA BEING ADMITTED IN HOSPITAL

The morning sun was breaking through the hospital room window, casting a gentle glow... Kavya sat beside the bed quietly watching Karthik who was still asleep, his face softened in the early light. For a moment, she couldn't help but admire him, lost in her thoughts until the sun's rays shifted and caused Karthik to stir.

Karthik blinked awake, his eyes widening as he saw Kavya gazing at him. A smirk spread across his face.

"Aur boldo... you've already fallen for me, huh Miss Pagal?" he teased, winking.

Kavya's face instantly shifted into a mock scowl, rolling her eyes. "Oh, shut up... Sapne se uth jao!"

Karthik stretched glancing around as if he just remembered where they were. "Wait, did I...sleep here all night on the bed with you?" he asked, grinning   clearly hoping she'd say yes.

Kavya scoffed, crossing her arms. "Badtameez! Main dusre bed par thi," she replied, raising her chin in playful defiance.

"Accha, aisa kya... Phir ghar chalogi mere saath?" he asked casually, leaning back and fixing his hair with a smirk.

"Rajveer jiju ke ghar?" she asked, surprised.

"Nahi... humare ghar!" Karthik corrected, emphasizing the words, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

Kavya's jaw dropped "Humare?!" she exclaimed, clearly taken aback.

Karthik chuckled quickly covering up "I mean, mere saath chalo ghar there'll be no one to interrupt and you can rest well," he said smoothly.

Kavya scoffed, rolling her eyes again. "No way! Tumhare ghar kyun jaoon main? I can just stay with Aaradhya or I'll live alone!"

Karthik's expression turned serious but only for a second. "You know that little lie you told Ananya? Well, she told everything to Mom," he said casually though he was clearly making it up to see her reaction.

"What the hell!" Kavya's face paled, her eyes wide with shock.

"Now Mom wants to meet you, officially," he added trying to hide his grin.

Kavya put her hand on her forehead, groaning. "Ughhh... But what if she actually likes me? What if she says, 'Mere bete se shaadi karo'? Then what?" she asked, clearly flustered.

Karthik laughed. "Arrey, don't worry... Mom ko tum pasand nahi aogi."

Kavya's eyebrows shot up, and she stared at him. "Excuse me? What do you mean by 'pasand nahi aogi'? Tumhe kya lagta hai, I'm not pretty or what?"

Karthik paused, his gaze steady. "Khubsurat? Tumse haseen ladki exist hi nahi karti," he said in a low, sincere tone.

Kavya was speechless, her cheeks warming up as she tried to brush off the sudden flutter in her chest. "What—" She stopped herself, struggling not to blush.

Karthik glanced at his watch "I've already spoken to the doctor for your discharge. Get ready—I'll be back soon." With that he left the room, leaving Kavya alone with her racing thoughts.

Kavya's POV :

Did he just call me haseen? I mean, he actually said there's no one prettier than me... Ugh, what is happening?!
