"What is the problem?"
"Nothing; I will go on my own."
He releases her hand, and instead of walking alongside her, he begins to walk slightly ahead of her. This sudden anger stems from her words, and he doesn't want anyone else to fall victim to his anger at this moment. Avishka starts walking, looking at his feet with her eyes down; she just wants to stop herself from looking at Prakram at any cost because it has been with her since yesterday that whenever she looks at Prakram, her heart starts beating fast, and she does not notice at all that a waiter is coming from the front.
Prakram notices the waiter walking straight after he sees a very attractive girl approaching from the front. He immediately puts his hand in front of the waiter to prevent him from colliding with Avishka, ensuring that all his guests witness the incident.
"Be careful… Always keep your eyes where you need them."
The waiter spits out fear and quickly goes away from there. Prakram turns and looks at Avishka, who realizes her mistake, looks up, and starts walking with him, but he comes close to her and places his hand on her waist. She is very close to him, so he tells her softly while smiling in front of everyone.
"In front of the world, we are that husband and wife who got married after liking each other, so we act in the same way.”
Due to him speaking in a slightly angry manner, Avishka suddenly looks into his eyes, in which fear is clear. Seeing her fear, Prakram turns his gaze away and then walks away from among the people, holding her waist. Goes and stands in front.
Everyone extends a warm welcome to both of them; they are currently meeting with everyone. Sandhya introduced everyone to her. After some time, when they get free from the interview session, Avishka's eyes look at Aashi. She is comfortably eating ice cream while sitting on the sofa, which prompts her to immediately reach out to Aashi. When Prakram sees her in this state, he becomes slightly upset, but as soon as he witnesses Aashi's actions, he understands why she did it.
"Aashi…"
Aashi, who was eating ice cream, sees her mother coming there and starts looking at the ice cream, then makes a small pout and tells her.
“Only one…”
Avishka starts looking at her, and Prakram also follows her, smiling, and then he says to Aashi while holding her waist.
"Okay, only one."
The doctor had clearly said that it would be better for Aashi to avoid ice cream altogether as the weather is changing. Avishka immediately looks at Prakram, filled with disbelief and a slight anger, as he has always complied with all of her demands. He suddenly laughs, due to which she also feels some unexpected situation because somewhere she was showing him anger with her eyes, which she herself was not aware of, and when Prakram suddenly laughs, she looks away while pressing her painted lips between her teeth tightly.
Digvijay and Sandhya also smile slightly upon witnessing Prakram's laughter, a sight that Vishwajeet and Ranjeet find intolerable. Ranjeet immediately approaches Avishka, extends his hand, and shows his desires with a smile.
"Can I dance with you?"
Avishka doesn't like this man at all, and she doesn't feel comfortable here either, which is why she immediately rejects him by shaking her head.
"Come on, my dear sister in law, I am your only brother-in-law; I have this much right.”
He starts holding her hand, saying this, but Prakram immediately stops and tells him.
"The reception is mine; my wife is mine, so the dance will also be mine and only my wife's."
He places his hand nicely on Avishka's waist and gestures to Armaan to take care of Aashi. He draws her closer to him and takes her other hand in his, at which point Avishka immediately looks into his eyes and responds.
"I don't know how to dance.”
"But I know..."
"Please, it will be very embarrassing."
"Let's see…."
The music begins to play slowly, prompting Prakram to protectively hold her in his arms and move at a slow pace. Avishka begins to look around, sensing that everyone's attention is solely on her. In response, he immediately turns her face towards him, gazes into her eyes, and tells her softly.
"Keep your attention solely on me, and closely monitor my actions, as you must do the same. Dancing is not a difficult task. If you do it as I am doing, then everything will happen automatically, and it won't be embarrassing, either."
Avishka starts dancing with him very attentively. Prakram holds her hand and gently pulls her away from him, and then, looking into her eyes, he just tells her softly.
"Roll…"
