🎀Scene starts from party at 'rahi'🎀

After Anu's fabulous win, the entire Singhaniya household was glowing—not just from pride, but from the lights, laughter, and life that now filled Raahi Mansion.

The younger bunch—Jiya, Rey, Ishu, Aishwarya, and Rishi—had practically demanded a celebration, and to everyone's surprise, Arjun didn't say no.

So now, the grand estate, usually calm and elegant, was buzzing with music, cheers, and the delicious aroma of food. The chandeliers sparkled, fairy lights ran across the balconies, and the courtyard was alive with energy.

Arohi had tried to keep things under control, but even she couldn't hide her smile as she watched her family dance and laugh like little kids.

Aru and Abhi were in charge of the playlist, occasionally bickering over song choices.

Amidst the loud music, flashing lights, and carefree laughter echoing through Raahi Mansion, there was a quiet corner near the balcony where Kabir, Shivansh, and Arjun stood—Cold-drinks in hand, postures relaxed, but eyes always scanning.

They were the elders now. The ones who had seen enough to know that no party ever truly ran without supervision.

Their eyes never stopped moving. Watching how the staff was handling things, who was slipping off where, how the younger ones were behaving.

Because while tonight was for celebration, they couldn't afford to let their guard down completely. Not with Anu in the spotlight. Not with so many people under their roof.

They were already scanning again—sharp, calm, ready.
Because even in a night of joy, they were still the shadows behind the light.

The city lights twinkled in the distance as cool air drifted across the terrace. Most of the party was downstairs, but Aishwarya had asked Anu to come up for "just a quiet moment away from the noise."

He agreed—reluctantly. Mostly out of courtesy. She was a good friend who supported him.

Anu: "It's a beautiful night."

Aishwarya (softly): "It is. But not as beautiful as watching you win today."

He gave her a polite smile but didn't reply.

She stepped closer, holding out a frame with a photo.
It was a picture of Anu from a small college performance months ago—one he didn't even know someone had captured.

Aishwarya: "I clicked this that day. You were so lost in your music... it felt like no one else existed."  (pauses, eyes intense) "Sometimes, I think... that's when I fell for you."

(Finally she confessed her feelings because she don't want anu to go away from her.)

Anu's smile faltered.

Anu (carefully): "Aish... I didn't know you felt this way."

She looked up at him, eyes wide and shining.
Aishwarya: "I know you don't see me like that. Yet. But you will. You just need time to see what I already know."

He stepped back slightly—not aggressively, but enough to show a shift in energy.

Anu: "You've always been a sweet friend. And I really respect you. But I don't want to hurt you... or mislead you."
