The Holi party was now in full swing as more guests arrived, filling the atmosphere with vibrant energy and festive spirit. Among the newcomers were the Oberoi family, adding to the diverse and joyful gathering. Despite the celebratory mood, Vaidehi's relationship with her parents remained strained, a lingering reminder of the past.

The shadow of Ritesh's crimes loomed large over their interactions. Ritesh had been sentenced to life imprisonment for his involvement in Ahaan's murder, Vaidehi's kidnapping, and several other crimes uncovered during the investigation. Vihaan, with his legal acumen, had won the case decisively in just two hearings, ensuring justice was served swiftly.
