Aarushi and Aashvika exchanged a knowing glance before deciding to follow Krishnaa, eager to uncover the truth behind her sudden departure. The tension between them and their respective husbands was palpable, and they welcomed the distraction. Without a word, they swiftly made their exit, leaving the Goenka brothers behind.

The Goenka brothers, sensing something amiss, decided to follow them. Abhimanyu caught up to Aarushi, his long strides devouring the distance. "Aarushi, stay for a while. I want to talk to you," he requested, his voice low and urgent. Aarushi hesitated, her eyes darting towards Krishnaa's disappearing figure.

But Abhimanyu's persistent gaze made her agree. "Just for a minute," she relented, her voice barely above a whisper. Abhimanyu's eyes locked onto hers, his expression unreadable. Aarushi's heart skipped a beat as she wondered what he wanted to discuss.

Meanwhile, Krishnaa walked towards her car, her pace steady and deliberate. Her mind seemed a thousand miles away, lost in thought. "Ekansh, drop Aashvika back," Abhimanyu instructed, his voice carrying across the distance.

But Aashvika denied, her eyes fixed on Krishnaa. "I'll go with Krishnaa," she said firmly, her voice leaving no room for argument. Ekansh and Parth exchanged a knowing glance before sighing. "This isn't going to end well," Ekansh muttered.

Parth nodded in agreement. "Let's see where this leads," he said, his eyes locked onto Aashvika's retreating figure. Aashvika quickened her pace, closing in on Krishnaa.

Krishnaa's hands reached for the car door handle, her movements swift. But Aashvika's voice stopped her. "Krishnaa, wait!" Krishnaa's eyes narrowed, her gaze locking onto Aashvika.

"What do you want, Aashvika?" Krishnaa asked, her voice firm but guarded. Aashvika's expression softened, her eyes filled with concern. "We need to talk," she urged.

Krishnaa's silence spoke volumes, and Aashvika knew she had to tread carefully. The air hung heavy with tension as they stood there, the outcome uncertain.

Krishnaa raised her eyebrow, silently asking why Aashvika was insisting on accompanying her. The gesture was subtle, yet it spoke volumes about Krishnaa's curiosity. Aashvika shrugged, her expression unreadable, and walked around the car to the passenger seat. Her movements were fluid, revealing nothing about her intentions.

As Aashvika slid into the passenger seat, her eyes fixed on Krishnaa, a silent understanding passed between them. Krishnaa's gaze lingered on Aashvika for a moment, searching for answers. But Aashvika's poker face revealed nothing.

Krishnaa's attention shifted to Ekansh, who was staring at Aashvika with a mix of confusion and concern. His eyes were narrowed, his brow furrowed, as if trying to decipher Aashvika's motives. Krishnaa chuckled, a low, throaty sound that echoed through the air.

The chuckle caught Ekansh off guard, and his eyes snapped to Krishnaa, his expression questioning. Parth stepped forward, his voice low and cautious. "Krishnaa, what's going on?" he asked, his eyes darting between Krishnaa and Aashvika.

Krishnaa's smile widened, her lips curling upward. "Nothing, Parth," she replied, her voice dripping with amusement. Her eyes sparkled with mischief, leaving Parth and Ekansh wondering what she was hiding.

"I think Aashvika wants to keep me company," Krishnaa added, her tone playful. Aashvika's gaze remained fixed on Krishnaa, her expression still unreadable. Ekansh's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with possibilities.

"Be careful, Krishnaa," Ekansh warned, his voice firm. Krishnaa's laughter echoed, a melodious sound that belied the tension. "I always am, Me Goenka" she replied.

With that, Krishnaa slid into the driver's seat, her movements swift and decisive. The engine roared to life, and as Krishnaa pulled away, Ekansh's eyes remained fixed on the retreating car.

Parth's voice broke the silence, his tone laced with concern. "What's going on, brother?" he asked.

Ekansh's expression darkened, his eyes still fixed on the distant car. "I don't know, but I don't like it," he replied.

The car disappeared into the distance, leaving the Goenka brothers with more questions than answers.
