Swara was ecstatic as she heard Ragini's news. "Ragini, I am so incredibly happy for you! Finally, you and Laksh are together," she said, her voice brimming with genuine joy.

Ragini's happiness was palpable, but a shadow of worry clouded her face. "Thank you, Swara. But I have to admit, I'm scared. What if I ever lose Laksh?"

Swara grasped Ragini's hands firmly, her expression earnest. "Ragu, please don't talk like that. You're not going to lose him. I won't let that happen."

Ragini gave a grateful nod, feeling reassured by her friend's unwavering support. "I should go find Laksh now," she said, her eyes still a mix of joy and apprehension.

As Ragini left, Swara encountered Sanskar. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the world around them seemed to disappear. They were lost in each other's gaze, each feeling the weight of unspoken emotions. Kavita, who was watching from a distance, noted the intense connection between them and felt a pang of jealousy and concern.

Later, Swara confronted Laksh. "So, the truth is out now. Why didn't you tell me about your feelings for Ragini?"

Laksh looked down, seeming remorseful. "I had planned to tell you, but everything got so complicated. I didn't want to hurt you."

Swara's expression softened as she realized Laksh's conflict. "Oh, come on. Now that you've found your love, you've forgotten me, haven't you?"

Laksh shook his head vigorously. "No, Swara. I can never forget you. You're very important to me, and you always will be."

Swara embraced Laksh, her heart heavy with mixed emotions. She was happy for her friend but still struggled with her own feelings. Kavita observed their interaction with a keen eye, sensing the lingering tension.

Kavita decided to approach Sanskar. "Sanskar, is there something between Swara and Laksh that I should know about?"

Sanskar looked puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

Kavita shrugged, trying to appear casual. "Oh, nothing. Just curious."

As the engagement preparations continued, Swara received a mysterious letter from Rajat. It contained a map with a note that read, "A surprise for the beautiful lady." Swara's curiosity was piqued, but she was also conflicted about leaving during the important event.

Kavita noticed Swara's distraction and pressed, "You should go. Rajat is important to you, isn't he? You should definitely check it out."

Swara hesitated but ultimately decided to follow Kavita's advice. She left for the location marked on the map, her mind racing with questions.

At the engagement party, the atmosphere was vibrant with music and dancing. Swara, feeling conflicted and anxious, decided to slip away. As she drove off, Rajat's car appeared, its headlights piercing through the night.

Swara arrived at Rajat's home, finding it eerily dark and silent. She followed the map's directions to a red cross, found the keys, and unlocked the door.

Inside, she was confronted by a room filled with her photographs, many of them defaced with angry red crosses over Sanskar's face. The walls were plastered with these images, and Swara felt a deep sense of horror and despair.

At the party, a dancer performed a hauntingly beautiful routine. Kavita's gaze was fixed on Sanskar, and she smirked as the music played.

SHaam Hai Jaam Hai Aur Hai Nasha
Tann Bhi Hai Mann Bhi Hai Pighla Huaan

Meanwhile, Swara was shown in distress as she discovered Rajat's disturbing obsession. The room was covered with her photos, many showing her and Sanskar, with the latter's pictures marked with crosses. Swara was overwhelmed with shock and fear.

Rajat received an alert on his phone indicating an intruder. Panicked, he ran to his home, finding Swara's car outside. Inside, he saw the torn photos and screamed, "Swaraaaaaa!" before rushing out to find her.

At the same time, Swara had stopped her car and tried to call Ragini. "Hello, hello, Ragu, listen—"

Ragini struggled to hear through the static. "Hello, Swara, I can't hear you clearly!"

Ragini immediately went to Laksh, explaining the situation. Laksh, Ragini, and Sanskar quickly set out to find Swara.

Back at the engagement party, Sanskar was about to place the ring on Kavita's finger when she suddenly pulled her hand away, causing the ring to fall to the floor.

Kavita's face was a mix of frustration and determination. "I can't marry you, Sanskar. I just can't."

Sanskar was taken aback. "What are you talking about?"

Before he could get a clear answer, Ragini burst in, her face pale with panic. "Sanskar, Swara is in danger! She called me, saying she was with Rajat and asking him to leave her alone. The call disconnected. We need to find her immediately!"

Sanskar, Ragini, and Laksh raced out, while Kavita watched, her expression unreadable.

The scene ended with the tense faces of Kavita, Sanskar, and Swara, each dealing with their own fears and uncertainties.
