Swara's house was a sight to behold, decked out in stunning decorations for her engagement with Laksh. Dimple, Swara's mother, and her father were discussing the day's events with a mix of excitement and pride.

Dimple turned to Swara, who was glowing with happiness. "We're ready to take this relationship to the Maheswari house. It's a big step."

Swara's father nodded in agreement. "Yes, and our Swara is incredibly fortunate to become a part of such a prestigious family. This is a dream come true."

Swara blushed at their words, feeling a surge of pride.

Meanwhile, in the guest room, Laksh approached Ragini with a serious expression. "Did you have anything to do with those videos and photos?"

Ragini, her face pale, shook her head frantically. "No, Laksh, I swear I had nothing to do with it. I know I've hurt you both in the past, but this time, I really don't know how it happened."

Laksh, seeing her distress, stepped forward and comforted her. To Ragini's surprise, he pulled her into a hug. After a moment of hesitation, Ragini hugged him back, and Laksh's face softened with a smile. Swara, passing by, noticed the tender moment and couldn't help but smile.

To herself, she thought, I can't be selfish anymore. Whether my relationship with Sanskar works out or not, I want to help them come together.

Clearing her throat, she called out, "Ahem!"

Ragini and Laksh pulled apart, both blushing. Ragini asked, "Swara, is everything okay?"

Swara nodded. "Yes, my parents have decided to move forward with my engagement to Sanskar."

Ragini and Laksh, though shocked, embraced Swara warmly. "Seriously?" Ragini asked, still reeling from the news.

Swara smiled, "Yes, and I'm so glad you two are here for me."

The three of them shared a heartfelt hug, rekindling a bond that had been strained over the years.

In a darkened room elsewhere, a mysterious figure sat in a moving chair, pausing as they received a note and a photo of Swara, Laksh, and Ragini hugging. The shadowy figure's interest was piqued.

The next day, at the Maheswari Mansion, DP was getting ready to leave for work. "I'm heading out," he told AP.

AP nodded. "Okay, dear."

Just then, Swara's parents, along with Laksh, arrived at the mansion. Traditional greetings were exchanged as everyone settled into the living room. Swara's father took a deep breath and addressed DP and AP. "We're here for an important discussion. I want to ask for Sanskar's hand in marriage for our daughter, Swara. They have been in love since their college days."

DP and AP were taken aback by the sudden revelation. Just then, Sanskar walked in, his face a mask of shock.

DP turned to Sanskar. "Is what they're saying true?"

Sanskar, looking nervously at his mother, saw her subtle shake of the head. Closing his eyes, he muttered, "No, Dad, it's not true. There was nothing between Swara and me."

The declaration stunned everyone, especially Laksh. "Sanskar, have you lost your mind? What are you saying?"

Sanskar insisted, "I'm telling the truth. There was nothing between us."

DP, trying to smooth things over, said, "I'm sure there was some relationship, but don't take it too seriously. Find someone else who is a good match for your daughter."

Laksh, upset, escorted Swara's parents out. Before leaving, he shot a disappointed look at Sanskar. "You've messed this up, Sanskar."

DP, on his way out, gave Sanskar an approving nod. "I'm proud of you," he said before leaving.

Sanskar, feeling torn, looked at his mother, who was visibly upset. Before she could reach him, he retreated to his room.
