Singh Villa
As soon as Aadhya and Ruhi stepped into the living room, they froze in shock.
Rohan (smirking): "What happened, partner? Forgot me already?"
In the next second, Aadhya squealed with joy and rushed forward to hug him tightly.
Aadhya (beaming): "Oh my God, Rohan Bhaiya! You're back! Do you even know how much I missed you?"
Yes—this was Rohan Kapoor, Aarav's childhood best friend.
Flashback & Background
Aadhya and Aarav's grandfather, Akhilesh Singh, had once been one of Mumbai's top lawyers. After the tragic death of their parents, he relocated the entire family to Delhi to protect his grandchildren from the enemies he had made over his career. Since then, Aadhya's identity remained confidential, a decision respected by the entire family.
Aarav pursued his acting career as a child artist and took a break for his education, returning to Bollywood as a rising star. Meanwhile, Aadhya worked on becoming self-reliant—learning martial arts and keeping a low profile.
In Delhi, Aarav befriended Rohan, their neighbor and classmate. Eventually, Akhilesh became the legal advisor to the Roy Group of Industries after solving a major legal dispute for them. He mentored Rohan as well, inspiring him to follow in his footsteps.
Rohan now runs the Kapoor Legal Firm, one of the top legal firms in India. He took over as the Roy Group's legal advisor after Akhilesh's passing, earning deep respect from Rajveer and Adhvik.
He shared a warm bond with Aadhya and Ruhi, and though he'd been in Kolkata for a big case, he had now returned—and straight to the Singh Villa.
Back to Present
Still hugging Rohan, Aadhya refused to let go.
Rohan (pulling away gently): "Okay, okay, I missed you too."
Ruhi (pouting): "Huh! Rohan Bhai, you forgot about me!"
Rohan (grinning): "How could I forget you, lizard?"
Ruhi (shocked): "What did you call me?! You're dead!"
She launched after him, and the two chased each other playfully around the room.
Ruhi (while running): "Come back here, you fat rhino!"
Aarav and Aadhya watched the two of them in fits of laughter.
Eventually, both Rohan and Ruhi flopped onto the couch, out of breath and giggling.
Rohan (smiling): "Okay, now, tell me—how was your first day at work?"
Aadhya and Ruhi excitedly shared everything—except the awkward office cabin proposal from Adhvik.
Later that evening, Aarav and Rohan cooked both girls' favorite dishes. The four of them had dinner together like one big happy family and headed to bed.
Roy Mansion
Dinner was unusual.
Everyone's thoughts were stuck on one thing:
Who was the girl who had rejected Adhvik?
While Eva, Diya, and Karan were stunned that Adhvik had proposed to someone, Adhvik himself was lost in the memory of Aadhya's expressions in his cabin. A faint smile danced on his lips—enough to send shockwaves across the dining table.
Adhvik (standing): "I'm done. Heading to bed. Good night."
The rest of the family soon finished their meal as well.
Kiaara's Room – Secret Conference
Kiaara messaged Diya, Eva, and Karan to come to her room urgently.
Kiaara: "Okay, now spill. Is it true, Bhai likes someone?"
Eva: "Well, about that club girl…"
Kiaara (impatient): "Yeah, yeah, I know you didn't get a proper look at her—BUT WHO IS SHE?!"
Diya: "Let us finish at least—"
Karan: "Exactly. Don't jump to conclusions!"
Kiaara (realizing): "Oops, sorry. Okay, go on."
Finally, the trio explained everything from the club incident to the office confession.
Kiaara (jaw-dropped): "Wait, wait, wait... The club girl and the one Bhai likes... are they the SAME?"
Karan: "Bingo!"
Kiaara: "Ughhh! Seriously?! Bhai proposed to her inside his office cabin? What is wrong with him?! He could've done something romantic! Candlelight dinner, balloons, flowers... anything!"
Eva: "Exactly what we said!"
Kiaara: "No wonder she said no. Now we'll have to do something."
All three: "Yes."
Karan: "Okay, okay, enough drama. Let's get to bed."
Kiaara: "Fine. Good night, everyone."
After Lights Out
As the three of them left her room…
Eva (murmuring): "She's not wrong, though. We do need a plan."
Diya: "Right. Let's sleep for now. We'll start tomorrow."
Karan: "Agreed."
And with that, everyone retired to their rooms… except for one man who had already started planning his next move.
