As the day drew to a close and the clock struck 9 in the evening, Viyansh had yet to return home. Earlier, he had informed Vaidehi that he would be attending a small celebration for the finalization of a deal in London, as Shruti and her boss were returning the next day. He assured her that he would be back by 8, knowing that Vaidehi preferred not to have dinner without him. However, despite his plans, Viyansh had not returned home by the agreed-upon time. Restlessly pacing around the living room, Vaidehi's eyes remained fixed on the door, her heart heavy with an unspoken fear that something was amiss. Sensing her unease, Vikram approached her, concerned by her troubled demeanor.

Vikram: "Ladoo, have your dinner. Viyansh might be running late, and he did inform you, right?"
