Everyone leaves for the club, but Sia and Ansh stay back at the villa.

Sia is in her room reading a novel when there is a knock on the door.

She calls out, "Who is it?"

Ansh, standing outside, replies, "It's me, Ansh."

Sia mutters to herself, "Ansh? He didn't go to the club?"

She opens the door and asks, "You... you didn't go with the others?"

Ansh says, "No."

Sia asks, "Why?"

Ansh replies, "Just didn't feel like it."

He then asks, "What are you doing?"

Sia wonders how to tell him she's reading a romantic novel with adult themes, so she says, "Nothing, just sitting here."

Ansh steps inside, moving past her, and says, "Oh, novels? You enjoy reading novels?"

Sia smiles nervously and says, "Yeah, a little."

Ansh reaches for the book, saying, "Let me see."

Sia gets flustered and snatches the book away.

Surprised, Ansh asks, "Hey, what happened?"

Sia says, "I don't like anyone touching my novels."

Teasing her, Ansh says, "Oh, so you're possessive about your novels? Fair enough."

Sia glares at him, and he adds, "Okay, okay, I won't look at them."

Sia asks, "Did you need something?"

He says, "Yes."

Sia asks, "What?"

He replies, "I made some noodles; would you like to have some?"

She asks skeptically, "Tell me the truth-who are you, really?"

He says, "I am Ansh."

Sia refuses to believe it, saying, "No, you're lying. Ansh doesn't know how to cook. And even if he did make them by chance, the idea of his inviting me to eat noodles just doesn't add up."

Ansh laughs and says, "It really is me, Ansh, and I do know how to make noodles. And yes, this Ansh is inviting you. Now, if the investigation is over, shall we go? The noodles are getting cold, Madam."

On the terrace,

Sia is eating noodles; she has to admit they are tasty.

Ansh remarks, "Of course they are-Ansh Rathore made them."

She eats the noodles with great relish while Ansh watches her, smiling.

A little later,

They finish eating.

Ansh gazes at Sia; the moonlight gives her face a unique glow.

He keeps looking at her, then says, "Sorry."

Sia looks at him in surprise and asks, "Sorry for what?"

Ansh replies, "For my behavior. Ever since we got married, I've only hurt you. I know there's no excuse for that kind of behavior."

Sia smiles faintly and says, "Do you know why I said yes to this marriage, Ansh?"

Ansh shakes his head 'no'.

Sia continues, "Because I had started falling in love with you."

Ansh is startled and exclaims, "What?"

Sia says, "Yes. Do you remember our first meeting at the football ground, where you saved me from getting hit by the ball? I started liking you back then. As time passed, I didn't even realize when that crush turned into love. Then the proposal came, and when I saw you agree to it, I thought maybe..."

She wipes away a tear. "But when you said you accepted the marriage, I thought you liked me too, so I agreed. However... after the wedding..."

She smile faintly and says, "Don't worry, I won't keep you bound in this forced relationship anymore."

Ansh is just about to speak when he gets a call from Meena.

He says, "It's Mom calling," and answers the phone.

Meena asks in an angry voice, "Where are you two?"

Ansh replies, "Actually, Mom, we are at Aryan's villa."

Meena demands, "Come back to the apartment right now-immediately."

Ansh asks anxiously, "What happened, Mom? Is everything okay?"

She says," I wants you and sia back there within three hours. "

Ansh looks at Sia, says "Okay, Mom,"

hangs up, and falls into deep thought-Mom is here, and why she sounds so angry?

Sia asks, "What happened?"

Ansh replies, "Mom is calling us back to the apartment."

Sia asks with concern, "When did Mom get here? Is everything okay?"

Ansh tells her, "Yes, but Mom has asked us to reach there within three hours."
