As soon as Prakram opens the door and comes inside, his eyes freeze in front, and Aashi immediately turns to her father and tells him, smilingly.
"Papa, how am I looking?"
"The most beautiful angel in the world."
"And my mom..."
"She is the most beautiful mother of the most beautiful angel in the world."
Prakram quickly enfolds Aashi in his arms and begins to gaze intently at Avishka. He doesn't take his eyes off her, but Avishka doesn't look at him at all, knowing that he is solely focused on her. His eyes are praising her beauty at this moment, which in itself is going to tickle her a lot and is very pleasant. Prakram quickly grasps her waist and draws her close to him, causing her to immediately turn around and look into his eyes. She warns him that Aashi is nearby, to which he responds.
"You are deliberately not looking at me, so what do you think? I don't know how to force you to look at me."
Aashi laughs loudly, due to which Prakram also starts laughing, whereas Avishka lowers her eyes. Prakram kisses Aashi's cheek, followed by a kiss on her forehead. He then kisses Avishka on her cheek and tells her something while doing so.
“Looking so beautiful...”
All three will soon go out. Sandhya had recently waited for both of them, along with Digvijay, and as soon as she saw them together with a beautiful smile, she said this to her maid standing nearby.
“Prepare to cast an evil eye.”
Digvijay is looking at both of them with a smile, and the maid has swiftly brought the item as per her instructions. All threewere standing in front of her, smiling, and she quickly starts rotating anti-clockwise with some goods in her hand and quickly puts them in the fire, Prakram says, rolling his eyes.
"My very modern mother, but with her old ways."
Due to this, Sandhya slaps him gently, and they all go out together. Avishka, Prakram, and Aashi sit in one car, while Digvijay and Sandhya sit in the other car and are on their way. Throughout their journey, Prakram frequently glances back at Avishka, causing her to look outside and smile. As soon as they arrive at the hotel where the party is taking place, Prakram, holding Aashi in his lap, quickly grabs Avishka's waist, smiles, and enters the hall, drawing everyone's attention.
Soon, Sandhya brings Avishka along and begins introducing her to all the relatives, while Prakram also begins to meet everyone. However, Avishka's gaze shifts to the front, where several girls are constantly turning towards Prakram and smiling at him. Because of this, she looks back at Prakram. At that moment, Prakram was also focusing on her, and he narrowed his eyes slightly to get a closer look at Avishka. Avishka again turns her eyes and looks towards the girls, who are looking at him with so much interest. As a result, Prakram smiles very lightly. He is repeatedly observing that Avishka is fixating on the girls, and each time their gaze shifts towards Prakram, she is intently focusing on him. Meanwhile, Prakram is stepping away from his conversation and focusing on the girls themselves. He comes towards them and starts talking to them while laughing a lot, and he is standing exactly in front of Avishka, due to which he is not looking at her, but he knows very well that Avishka is only looking at him and all this. He finds it difficult to put into words the immense pleasure he is experiencing while engaging in theseactivities. He feels no less than any other teenager who is getting a strange tingling sensation while doing all this.
Avishka knows very well that Prakram is doing all this deliberately, but she is actually feeling very jealous, due to which even standing there has become a bit difficult for her. She turns her back and ignores him. Due to this, Prakram starts laughing loudly, and the girl's laughter also echoes with him, which increases Avishka's jealousy, but despite standing like this, she is unable to stop herself at all and turns to look at him. Prakram quickly looks away so that he can make her realize that he is still talking to those girls only. Sandhya is standing with all her relatives and friends, and they are all talking to each other. Avishka is also participating in these conversations, but her full attention is solely on Prakram. Then she sees Ranjit smiling in front of her, whom she does not want to see at all, but he is continuously looking at her, smiling, holding a glass of wine. She is completely ignoring him; her focus is only on the things—that is, Prakram and his overly happy smile—that make her jealous. But it seems that he is continuously talking to those girls, as if his conversations are not going to end today. Avishka can't bear to see Prakram with someone else despite knowing his intention to make her jealous, so she tells Sandhya.
"Mom, I need to go to the washroom.”
Sandhya smiles and nods her head. Avishka does not turn towards Prakram and instead walks away from the scene. Prakram's attention is firmly fixed on her, and he begins to follow her. Sandhya also notices him, which prompts her to approach him and speak.
"Gents are not allowed in the ladies washroom."
All the women start laughing at Sandhya's joke, and Prakram immediately turns and leaves from there because of his mother because he does not want to be the reason for the other women laughing, and he is laughing too much at himself, as what was he doing for such a long time?

Avishka is standing in front of the washroom mirror and is getting a little angry.
"It feels very good to make me jealous. Come home; today I will not look at you at all... Only then will you know how I feel. I thought I would surprise you by saying.... "But taste your medicine."
She quickly comes out of the washroom, and suddenly someone grabs her from behind and twirls her. She realizes very well that it is not Prakram, due to which she turns around by hitting her elbow hard in his stomach, pulling him into the front, and slapping him hard on the cheek. He is Ranjeet; he stands in front of her with his hand on his cheek, and she says this angrily.
"What kind of behavior is this?
"Having arrived to engage in a lighthearted exchange, you slapped me without regard for the fact that it was just sweet banter with my sister-in-law."
"I don't like being touched by any cheapester at all, and suddenly, when you touched me like this, I felt that I was being touched by a very lousy, filthy person. If you want to meet your sister-in-law, then do so properly, brother-in-law.
