Singhania Mansion:

The sudden entry of that person left everyone startled. For a moment, the whole room fell into silence, as if no one could understand who she was or why she had appeared so suddenly. People exchanged confused glances, trying to figure out her identity…  

But the ones most shaken were the Khanna family. Their faces showed pure shock, and among them, Rajat was the most stunned. His eyes grew wide, almost refusing to believe what he was seeing. Because the person standing there was not a stranger at all, it was the same girl Ruhi had once seen with Rajat...  

What made her presence even more intense was the way she looked. Her expressions were sharp, her body language strong, and it was clear from her face that she was very angry. She didn’t look nervous or lost; instead, she carried herself with confidence, as if she had come with a reason. The atmosphere around her felt heavy, and everyone could sense that something serious was about to happen…

Girl:  Well, Mr. Rajat Khanna, you had said that you were only pretending, that once you got everything you wanted, you wouldn’t go through with the marriage. But looking at things now, it seems something very different is going on… (with anger and sarcasm in her voice)

Rajat: Excuse me, who are you? I don’t know you… (composing himself)

Girl: Wow, now you’re even refusing to recognize me. Just yesterday you were saying, ‘Baby, don’t worry, this is only an act. Once I take everything from Ruhi, I’ll leave her.’ And today you’re pretending you don’t even know who I am…

Rajat: Look, madam, I don’t know you. Why are you after me? And what proof do you have that I even know you?... 

“It’s good that I never left behind any proof of us being together. Otherwise, I would have been ruined in just one blow. But what I can’t understand is, how did she suddenly appear here, out of nowhere?” (In his mind while smirking)

Before he could think any further, another figure appeared, slowly emerging from the darkness. At first it was only a shadow, faint and unclear, but as it moved closer, the shape began to take form. Step by step, the figure advanced, and with each movement the tension in the room grew heavier…

Everyone’s eyes widened, frozen in shock. It was as if time had stopped, and no one could even breathe. Because this time, the person who had arrived was someone absolutely unexpected. No one in that room had imagined that such a face would suddenly appear before them. The silence was broken only by the sound of footsteps, echoing like a warning, as the figure came closer and closer, until the truth of who it was could no longer be ignored...  

The girl was none other than Ruhi. On her face was a strange smile, one that sent a chill straight through Rajat’s soul. He felt his breath catch, as if his very spirit had trembled. The rest of the family stood frozen, their shock written clearly across their faces. After all, the girl who was supposed to be the bride was standing right there before them. Then the question struck like lightning, if Ruhi was here, then who had Rajat actually married?...  

Before anyone else could react, before anyone could even think of lifting the veil of the bride, She herself raised it. The moment her face was revealed, Rajat felt another jolt, stronger than the first. His mind spun, unable to grasp what was happening… 

And then, as if the scene wasn’t already overwhelming, all three girls turned to look at one another. They exchanged knowing smiles, a silent bond passing between them. Finally, their eyes shifted to Rajat, and together they gave him a smirk, a smirk that made his confidence crumble and his composure vanished completely...

[The girl who had appeared earlier, the one whose presence had left everyone stunned was none other than Sanjana, the very girl who was supposed to marry Rajveer…]
