After returning home, Fiza and Rhea retreated to their room. As Rhea began removing her accessories, Fiza entered the room and initiated the conversation.

Fiza: "Ahem, ahem, what's going on, huh?"

Rhea: "What's going on? Nothing at all."

Fiza: "Come on, Rhea, we've been best friends since childhood. Don't keep anything from me."

Rhea: "There's really nothing to hide, silly."

Fiza: "Oh, so when Adi accidentally collided with you, why were you blushing then?"

Rhea: "I wasn't. You probably noticed wrong."

Fiza: "Oh, come on, spill it. Plus, what's up with his little daughter? What's the story there?"

Rhea: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you. So, when I called for the location, Adi provided it, and I also asked about the number of kids at the orphanage and details about the gifts. Then, he casually mentioned that he didn't want to hide anything from me because he actually has a daughter, Ariya, who's 7 years old. I was a bit shocked when he mentioned that if we were bringing gifts, we should get one for her too(probably she will feel bad if we are getting gifts for others and not her) because she's also coming to the party, and her birthday is on the same day. When I questioned him about being unmarried, he said it's a long story that he'll tell me someday when we have time. Trust me, Fiza, he told me all this himself, face to face. I'm starting to fall for him, but I'm so confused about what to do."

Fiza: "Relax, I'm here. First, let's find out the story behind his daughter, and then you'll get clarity. I think he's a good person, and I'm genuinely happy for you, Rhea." And they hugged each other.

From the author's perspective, the close moment shared between Fiza and Rhea highlights their enduring connection as they exchange their innermost thoughts and emotions. The intricate layers of Rhea's feelings, coupled with her growing affection for Adi, enrich the story, rendering it both engaging and relatable.

"Meanwhile in the house of Haris 🏠"

When Haris went to the kitchen to get some water, his mother approached him.

"His Mother: So, you're in love with her, huh?"

Haris was startled by the question and turned around to see his mother standing there. He replied, "What, mom! You scared me."

His Mother: "Don't change the subject; I'm asking you something."

Haris: "There's nothing like that, mom. You know she's just donating to the organization and nothing else."

His Mother: "You won't hide anything from your mom. I know Ayan speaks at the wrong time, but maybe he was right this time."

Haris: "It's not like that, mom. You're just overthinking."

His Mother: "Oh, so when Ayan called her Bhabhi, why were you blushing then?"

Haris: "I don't know, mom. I have mixed feelings about her. Sometimes she's very stern, and sometimes I don't understand her."

His Mother: "Oh, you've fallen in love, and you didn't even realize it." She playfully slapped his head.

Haris: "Mom, come on."

His mother said, "Okay, call her home tomorrow."

Haris was shocked and asked, "Why, mom? What's the reason?"

His Mother replied, "When she's seen the organization, she should also see the house. It'll give you both a chance to talk, you silly boy."

Haris: "Thanks, mom. You and dad are truly love gurus."

His Mother: "Shut up, crazy. Should I tell your dad, or will you?"

Haris walked away up the stairs, shouting, "I'll tell him later, and maybe get some tips too. I'll inform Fiza to come over tomorrow."

His mother chuckled, "Sure, go ahead, you crazy."

"Returning to Fiza's house🏠"

Fiza owns a flat, and the reason for this will become clear later in the story.

As for the other members there, stay tuned to find out!

Gurpreet arrived home from work. Fiza warmly welcomed her and apologized for the extra workload Gurpreet had to handle today due to Fiza and Rhea's unavailability.

"No problem, dear. By the way, is dinner ready?" Gurpreet asked.

Rhea replied from the kitchen, "Yes, Gigs it's ready. Freshen up and come, I'll serve."

"Okay, I'll be there in a moment," Gurpreet replied.

Fiza and Rhea began dining at the table, and Gurpreet, after freshening up, joined them. The conversation turned to Gurpreet's question, "So, how was the organization?"

Fiza and Rhea both replied enthusiastically, "It was great, Gigs!"

Fiza exclaimed, "Gigs, you should have been there; it was so much fun! And guess what? Someone fell in love!" She nudged Rhea playfully, prompting Gurpreet to ask, "Oh really? Who fell in love?"

Fiza replied mischievously, "Who else, Gigs? Of course, it's Rhea!"

Rhea blushed and protested, "Fiza, stop teasing me; Gigs, she's been bothering me since then."

Fiza remarked, "Gigs, you know, we only get one chance to tease, and Rhea's crying for this."

Gurpreet intervened playfully, "Alright, alright, you two, no more teasing each other."

"And Fiza, listen, I got all the designs ready. You can check them out tomorrow. Wait, let me show you a video," Gurpreet said, opening up her phone to display the designs.

Fiza, impressed, exclaimed, "Wow, Gurpreet, these designs are amazing! Everyone did a great job."

Gurpreet agreed, "Yes, your decision to bring in the freshers was the best. Their designs are really good."

Fiza added confidently, "Now, we're definitely going to win the competition."

"Absolutely," Gurpreet and Rhea chimed in together.
