The air at the Mehra house was filled with jubilation and festivity. Lights adorned every corner, and the house was teeming with joyous chatter as preparations for the wedding were in full swing. The ceremonies had concluded, and the impending wedding was a grand spectacle to behold.

Amidst the celebrations, Palak felt like a mere spectator, her mind struggling to process the whirlwind of emotions that had engulfed her. Throughout the rituals, Sameer's uncomfortable advances had added to her unease, making her feel unsettled amidst the chaos of the wedding.

Pia, on the other hand, seethed with anger, jealousy, and disappointment. Her aspirations of marrying Shaurya for his CEO position were crumbling as Sameer took his place, and to make matters worse, her younger sister was betrothed to the man she coveted. Fuelled by envy and resentment, Pia plotted an evil plan, determined to sabotage everything in her reach.

Meanwhile, at the Luthra house, Shaurya's demeanor mirrored that of a robot, devoid of any emotion. His father's decisions had obliterated his happiness, leaving him in a state of desolation. As he got ready, Dadi approached him, noticing the emptiness in his expression.

Apne aap ko itni takleef kyun de raha hai, Shauri? Dadi inquired, concerned about her grandson's state of mind.

Shaurya's response was laced with the bitterness of years of pain. Mere liye yeh takleef nayi nahi hai, Dadi. Bahut arso se jaan pehchan hai meri iss dard se ab koi fark nahi padta

Vidya, observing the distress in her son, was deeply upset by the decisions imposed upon him by Vikram. Sameer, however, reveled in his impending union with Palak and the newfound CEO position, oblivious to the turmoil his actions had caused in Shaurya's life.

As the evening drew closer, the contrasting emotions within the two households set the stage for a momentous turn of events, each character grappling with their own struggles and motivations in this tumultuous time.

The grandeur of the Mehra house shimmered with lights and decorations as the Luthra family arrived with the wedding procession. The wedding altar was meticulously arranged, waiting for the grooms and their brides to take their seats. The priest beckoned for the brides to descend the stairs, both veiled in red lehengas, ready for the auspicious ceremony.

As the brides settled beside their respective grooms, the wedding rituals commenced. The priest instructed the grooms to adorn the nuptial chain around the brides' necks. Amidst the customary gestures, Shaurya felt a familiar touch but chose to dismiss the feeling.

The next instruction was to fill the brides' hairline with vermilion, unveiling their faces. As Sameer and Shaurya unveiled their brides, shock rippled through the gathering. Both were stunned to see the unexpected sight before them.

With Sameer, Pia sat beside him instead of Palak, while with Shaurya, it was Palak beside him, not Pia. All four stood up, bewildered and flabbergasted. Vikram's anger was palpable as he questioned the turn of events, seeking answers from Amar. Rajvi, equally puzzled, admitted her confusion, having no explanation for the baffling situation.

Pia, having plotted the switch to marry Sameer, panicked, fearing his rejection now that her scheme was unraveling. Vidya, witnessing the unfolding chaos, felt a surge of disbelief and yet a glimmer of hope as she secretly pushed the priest beside Shaurya. The sudden jolt caused the vermilion in his hands to inadvertently apply onto Palak's hairline.

Palak, taken aback by the unexpected gesture, was in shock, while Sameer, realizing his plan was failing, seethed with anger. Vidya took charge of the situation, suggesting that as what was meant to happen has occurred, it might be wise to proceed with Sameer and Pia's wedding, as Palak and Shaurya's union seemed destined.

Vikram and Amar, concerned about their family's reputation, reluctantly agreed to the situation, and thus, with the application of vermilion, Palak became Mrs. Palak Shaurya Luthra. Amidst the confusion and unexpected turn of events, the destiny of the couples intertwined in an unforeseen and poignant manner.

The Luthra mansion shimmered under the glow of twinkling lights, as the newlywed couples entered after a lavish wedding ceremony. Pia's eyes sparkled with ambition, fixated on her new status as the wife of the CEO of the Luthra Group. Her mind danced with visions of power and luxury, unaware of the darkness hidden within Sameer.

Shaurya and Palak found themselves in an unfamiliar yet thrilling space as they stepped into the Luthra mansion. Their relationship had once been bound by the professional boundaries of boss and employee, but now, as husband and wife, they were navigating uncharted waters.

She glanced at Shaurya, her former employer turned life partner.  There was a shift from the structured confines of their previous association. Shaurya, too looked at Palak, no longer just his efficient employee but now his companion for life  their relationship had evolved beyond the professional realm.

As they entered the grandeur of the Luthra mansion, Shaurya couldn't help but steal glances at Palak. Palak, on the other hand, was struck by Shaurya. The way he held her hand a little tighter, offering silent reassurance amidst the opulence, spoke volumes about the shift in their relationship dynamics. 

In Sameer's opulent room, Pia stood in awe, marveling at her reflection in the grand mirror. She praised her own beauty, convinced it was her ticket to control and manipulate Sameer. Lost in her self-admiration, Pia fantasized about ensnaring Sameer with her looks and securing her position within the Luthra empire.

Unexpectedly, Sameer stormed into the room, his expression a mixture of fury and disdain because he always happens to see palak in his dreams withering in pleasure at his mercy but now His anger flared upon seeing Pia, disrupting the illusion she had spun in her mind. He grabbed Pia's elbow forcefully, his eyes seething with contempt.

Do you really think that you'll be able to trap me with this plastic beauty? Sameer spat, his voice laced with hostility and disgust. You've got another thing coming.

Pia was taken aback by Sameer's sudden aggression. Her misconception of Sameer as a naive man shattered in an instant. She tried to speak, but before she could utter a word, Sameer shoved her aside with a vehement push.

You're nothing but a greedy, manipulative wretch, he snarled. If you dare feign goodness in front of me again, no one will see a worse side of me.

Pia's façade crumbled as she realized the grave mistake in underestimating Sameer's true nature. She stood shaken and horrified, confronted with the stark contrast between Sameer and her romanticized expectations.

The next morning dawned at the illustrious Luthra Mansion, the air carrying a sense of anticipation and new beginnings. Palak and Pia, dressed elegantly in sarees, made their way downstairs, their footsteps echoing softly against the marble floor.

Palak's attire, a maroon net saree adorned with intricate golden beads along its border, exuded elegance and grace. Her aura radiated confidence, drawing attention effortlessly. Pia, in her own ensemble, carried an air of ambition and sophistication, though overshadowed by her envy towards Palak.

As they descended the grand staircase, Sameer, momentarily mesmerized by Palak's beauty, couldn't help but be captivated by her presence. He had always harbored feelings of desire, lust and attraction towards her, and today, seeing her in that stunning saree, accentuating her allure, only intensified his feelings.

Meanwhile, Pia observed Sameer's gaze fixated on Palak with a mixture of envy and frustration. Her desire for Sameer's attention turned into a seething jealousy as she realized Sameer's lingering glance towards Palak.

In a sudden fit of irrational anger and jealousy, Pia impulsively pushed Palak, causing her to lose balance and stumble towards the stairs. But before she could fall, Shaurya swiftly caught her by the waist, his worried expression evident as he steadied her.

Pia was more mad seeing them together because she always heard from Palak that Shaurya disliked her but seeing them so close to each other she was green in envy. Sameer moved to assist Palak as well, but Shaurya was quicker, instantly reaching out and ensuring Palak's safety. 

Palak's eyes met Shaurya's as he helped her regain her balance, his usual composed demeanor momentarily faltering as he looked at her in a maroon net saree. For the first time, he noticed the elegance and grace she exuded in traditional attire. Shaurya, usually clad in his customary blazers, stood there in grey pants and a black shirt, appearing remarkably handsome without his usual formal wear.

As Shaurya's fingers lightly brushed against her waist, Palak felt a shiver run down her spine. His concern and touch were unexpectedly gentle, a contrast to the image she usually associated with her boss. She met his concerned gaze and managed a nod, indicating that she was fine.

With his assistance, Palak adjusted her saree, rearranging the folds with practiced ease. Shaurya's gaze lingered on her, capturing the sight of her adorned in the traditional attire. The nuptial chain and vermilion on her forehead, signifying their marital bond, left Shaurya momentarily breathless. His heart skipped a beat witnessing her beauty embellished with the symbols of their union.

Shaurya found himself entranced by Palak's ethereal appearance, realizing the depth of her beauty and the grace she carried with her. The sight of her in a saree, adorning the symbols of their commitment, made him perceive her in a new light—one that tugged at his heartstrings in a way he had never expected.

Vikram stands tall and composed, addressing Shaurya, while Sameer observes with a smug expression.

Vikram: Shaurya, aaj se tum apne bhai ko assist karoge.

Sameer's smirk widens, pleased that his plan is unfolding. Shaurya clenches his fists, a retort on the tip of his tongue, but a stern glance from his dadi halts his response. Palak notices this exchange and finds solace in her grandmother's ability to rein Shaurya in. Pia, reveling in the prospects of her acting dreams coming true through Sameer's position, grins at the unfolding events.

Shaurya: (Drawing a deep breath) Sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Luthra, lekin main aaj se abhi se aapki company chhodta hoon. I resign. Muhje aapki company mein koi job nahi karni.

Vikram is taken aback by Shaurya's outright refusal. He had expected compliance, not rejection. Shaurya's refusal to work alongside him shocks Vikram.

Vikram: Do you realize ke tumhare paas koi aur option nahi hai na? Toh tum ek acche businessman ho, na hi ek acche bete. Lekin kam se kam ek acche pati toh bano. Tumhari shaadi ho chuki hai, at least Palak ke baare mein socho.

Sameer: (interjects with a smirk) Haan bhai, aap kab tak jobless rahoge?

Shaurya's decision rattles Vikram. Rashmi is visibly upset by Vikram's behavior towards Shaurya, while Vidya is silently seething, wishing to reprimand her son. Stepping forward, Shaurya, with a composed smile, addresses Vikram.

Shaurya: Aapko meri tension lene ki zaroorat nahi hai, Mr. Luthra. Main kya hoon, kaisa hoon, meri biwi bahut acche se jaanti hai.

Shaurya's subtle gesture indicates Sameer to back off. Sameer, slightly intimidated by Shaurya's tone, reins in his expressions. Despite feeling saddened, Vikram realizes that Shaurya won't comply with his wishes.

Shaurya: Aur rahi baat jobless hone ki, toh mera vaada hai aapse. Agle 6 mahine mein Luthra Group se badi company banaunga. Trust me, uss din aapki aur Sameer ki barbaadi main khud dekhunga.

Everyone is taken aback by this resolute version of Shaurya. Vidya beams with pride, while Rashmi questions Shaurya's words, feeling torn between her sons.

Rashmi: Shaurya, yeh kya keh raha hai? Tere papa hai yeh aur Sameer tera bhai, tu inhe barbaad karega?

Shaurya: (looks at Rashmi calmly) Relax, mom. Aapki jo tadap hai na apne Sameer ke liye, usse bacha ke rakhiye. Future mein kaam aayegi.

Vikram, frustrated, feels a surge of emotions. He can't fathom losing Shaurya from his life. Vidya, staunchly supportive of her grandson, stands by Shaurya's decision.

Vikram: Agar aisa hi hai, toh iss ghar mein tumhare liye koi jagah nahi hai.

Vidya: Vikram, agar Shauri iss ghar jaayega toh main bhi uske saath jaaungi.

Vikram is shocked. He can't let his mother leave her own home. Frustrated, he reluctantly agrees.

Vikram: Fine. Jise jo karna hai kare.

As Vikram is about to leave, Palak speaks up, catching his attention.

Palak: Sir... Papa, yeh mera resignation.

She hands over the resignation letter, shocking Sameer, who realizes this means losing proximity to Palak at the office.

Vikram: Lekin kyun?

Palak: Kyunki main vaha kaam nahi karna chahti jaha Shaurya sir na ho.

Shaurya's gaze shifts to Palak, filled with an amalgamation of love, admiration, and determination.
