Jealousy

He smirks and replies, 'Your death'

With that, he stabs her in the stomach, and Kaya lets out a scream.

Her eyes close, but as soon as she realizes that she hasn't felt any pain, she puts her hand on her stomach, but finds nothing. She then looks at the person who was smiling, and suddenly bursts into loud laughter.

Just then, Adheer also arrives there, and Kaya, seeing him, walks towards him with fear.

Seeing her frightened face, Adheer asks with concern, 'What happened, Ocean, why are you so scared?'

She gestures towards the man, Adheer looks at him and asks, 'What have you done to my wife?'

He says, trying to compose himself, 'Brother, I was just joking with Bhabhi...'

She quickly says with an innocent tone, 'No, Adheer ji, he stabbed me with a knife...'

He looks at her and laughs, saying, 'Bhabhi, this is fake, look!' and bursts into loud laughter...

She pouts and says innocently, 'You've driven me crazy...'

Adheer holds her face and says, 'No, baby, he is crazy, his mind is messed up...'

He brings him downstairs to the party, and then the boy also comes downstairs and hugs Mahir, saying 'Brother, how are you?'

Mahir hugs him with a fake smile, and in his mind, he sarcastically and frustratedly thinks, 'Of course, he had to show up too'

Then he looks at Kaya, who was holding Adheer's coat from one side, and says, 'Sister-in-law, I'm your loving brother-in-law Rishab Khurrana. What happened earlier was just a joke, please forgive me, little one' He apologizes with a smile

Just then, Mahir interrupts, walking up to Kaya and hugging her, 'What did you do to my lovely sister?'

She says innocently, 'Mahir bhai, he stabbed me with a knife'

Mahir scolds him, 'How dare you scare my sister?'

Adheer defends him, 'He was just joking, let's drop it here' and then explains to Kaya, 'Baby, he's a bit crazy, don't mind what he says'. Kaya nods in agreement

Adheer introduces him to the girl, 'Kaya, meet my friend Amisha Mehta. She's my childhood best friend, and she studied with me and Mahir in the USA'"

Kaya greets her with a small smile and a namaste, folding her hands together

Then everyone starts enjoying the party, when Rishab's gaze falls on that girl and he thinks to himself, 'Wow, my bespectacled girl has become so beautiful'

But the girl was standing there as if she had lost everything, tears started welling up in her eyes. She excuses herself to Adheer's mother and starts to leave but Adheer notices her and stops her, asking 'Ami, where are you going in such a hurry?'

She replies, 'I've come to India after a long time and came directly here. My grandparents must be at home, I want to surprise them' and leaves

Kaya had noticed how much care Adheer was taking of the girl, and she was feeling jealous inside. And Mahir, who comes to  her, says 'See, sister-in-law, how someone else is getting attention despite you being here? Tell me, at your own reception party, he is neglecting his wife to take care of another girl?'

Listening to his words, Kaya's eyes well up with tears, she cries and leaves. Mahir follows her, saying 'Sister-in-law, I was just joking, please don't cry' but she ignores him and closes the door to her room.

He says to himself, 'Mahir, you're in trouble! If Adheer finds out that she cried because of you...' He knocks on the door, saying 'Sister-in-law, please open the door just once'

She hears his voice, wipes away her tears, and comes out to open the door.

As soon as she opens the door, he sees that her face has turned completely red from crying, her milky skin now flushed. He gently wipes away her tears with his hands and says 'Sister-in-law, I was just joking, Adheer loves you a lot, please don't cry'

She says, crying, 'No, Mahir bhai, he really doesn't love me. Ever since that girl arrived, he's been looking at her and forgot all about me'and she starts crying even harder.

He hugs her and explains, 'No, sister-in-law, it's not like that. He loves you, and if he breaks your heart, your brother will smash his head'

He cups her face and says, 'From today, I'm not his friend, I'm your brother first. I promise you, if he does something like that, I'll make that day his last day in this world'

He says to her again, 'Tears don't suit such a lovely face, and if you don't smile, I'll cry. And when I cry, my tears come out of my nose, not my eyes'

Hearing his words, she can't help but burst out laughing.

"Go now and change, you must be tired." He says, gently stroking her head.

He leaves from there and Kaya also goes to change, as she was.

The girl Amisha, who was walking on the road, was suddenly numb, like a corpse. Suddenly, it started raining, and she got completely soaked. Her tears mixed with the rainwater. She suddenly sat down on her knees and started screaming loudly:

"Why is this happening to me? What did I do? Why do you do this to me, God? First, you took away my mom and dad, then Adheer came into my life, my protector, but now you've taken him away too."

She cries until she loses consciousness. Rishab happens to be passing by on his way home. He sees a girl lying on the ground. As he takes a closer look, he realizes it's Amisha . He quickly picks her up and takes her to his car.

Adheer orders Mahi to drop Aria home, but Mahi responds sarcastically:

"Have my days become so bad that I'd go drop off that Miss Chingari? I'll never go!"

She also looks at him with a mixture of annoyance and sarcasm, saying:

"Have my days also become so bad that I have to go with you?"

Adheer intervenes to stop their argument, saying:

"You both stop fighting. And Aria, you'll go with Mahir. Mahir, you'll drop Aria off with respect and politeness, no misbehavior."

Poor Mahir, despite being unwilling, has to drop Aria off!

Poor Mahir has to drop Aria off and Adheer goes to his room. Meanwhile, a kaya in a white long kurti and circular plaza comes out of the washroom.

He looks at her and smiles, but she ignores him and walks to the right side of the bed. He watches her knowingly, but says nothing and starts changing instead.

When he comes back after changing, he sees that she's sleeping, so he lies down on the left side. He tries to fall asleep for a long time, tossing and turning from one side to the other, but can't sleep. Exhausted, he looks at her, hoping she'll come closer to him in her sleep, so he can hug her and fall asleep. But she doesn't even budge from her side.

He innocently asks her while lying down, 'Ocean, can I hug you and sleep?' But she doesn't respond and instead hugs the teddy bear on her side and falls asleep. Adheer is shocked seeing this and thinks to himself, 'She's sleeping with this teddy bear despite me being here? What's lacking in me? This teddy bear is disgusting! My wife is going to sleep with it? I'll crush this teddy bear!'

He grasps her waist firmly, pulling her close, his eyes burning with intensity as he gazes into hers. His voice is low, husky, and commanding, leaving no room for doubt. 'Mrs. Kaya Adheer Shekhawat, when I'm with you, you're mine, and mine alone. Every inch of you belongs to me. No one else has any claim on you, not even a teddy bear. I won't share you with anyone, not even a thought. You're my wife, my everything.'

After saying this, he takes her in his arms, strokes her hair, and says: "Sleep now."

Seeing Adheer's behavior, Kaya quietly slips into his arms without saying a word.

As morning breaks, the sun's rays fall on Kaya's face, disturbing her sleep. She tries to cover her face with her small hands, but fails, and her sleep is interrupted. She hears the sound of the washroom door opening and her eyes, still heavy with sleep, fall on Adheer, who is standing there, wearing only a towel. Water droplets are trickling down his eight-pack abs, and his disheveled hair makes him look utterly hot. She gazes at him shamelessly, without batting an eyelid.

Adheer sees her gazing at him and saunters over, plopping down beside her, with a cheeky smile, saying 'Your intentions are getting naughty, staring at me like that'.

She remains silent, still entranced by his gaze. Without warning, she gently brushes her lips against his cheek. Adheer's eyes flutter closed as she savors the moment, but suddenly, she's aware of what's happening and swiftly pulls away, stuttering, 'Wo...ma...main' (roughly translating to 'What...I...I mean')

Adheer comes up with a hasty excuse, saying, 'I need to get dressed' and swiftly heads into the dressing room.

Kaya immediately gets up from the bed and rushes to the washroom, so she doesn't have to face Adheer.
