As Fiza and her team moved out to celebrate, they arrived at a restaurant where Raghav was already waiting for them. He had booked a table as a surprise for Fiza. Haris felt a bit jealous but kept quiet. Meanwhile, Fiza video-called Gurpreet to ask about the apprehension.

"Gigs, did you catch them?" Fiza asked eagerly.

Gurpreet replied, "Yes, they are caught, but Fiza, it's not your brother as you thought..."

Fiza interrupted, "Then who, Gigs? If it's not my brother, who did it?"

After a moment of hesitation, Gurpreet answered sadly, "It was your sister, Fiza. Your cousin, the one you trusted the most."

Fiza was shocked and nearly fell, but Haris caught her. Concerned, he asked, "What happened, Fiza?"

Struggling to process the news, Fiza spoke to Gurpreet again, "Gigs, move the phone to the worker."

Gurpreet complied, and Fiza shouted at the worker, "How could you do this to your own company? You're fired. Never show your face again."

Then, turning back to Gurpreet, Fiza instructed, "Don't file a case against the worker, but do file one against the man who tried to sabotage the designs. He hurt Anaya."

Gurpreet nodded. "Don't worry, Fiza. I will. Now, please, try to relax and enjoy your win. Congratulations again."

"Thanks, Gigs," Fiza replied, ending the call. Though they celebrated their win, Fiza couldn't shake off the betrayal she felt. She kept wondering why her cousin would do such a thing.

At the restaurant, Rhea and Anaya got completely drunk. The rest of the team managed to walk back to the hotel, which was nearby, but Rhea and Anaya were too inebriated to walk properly. Raghav and Adi had to carry them. Anaya, on Raghav's back, kept pulling his hair and acting like a playful child.

"Raghav, put me down!" she giggled, but he refused. "I can't, you're too drunk."

When she insisted and started hurting him more, he finally put her down. Anaya ran with her arms out like an airplane, while Raghav walked alongside, keeping an eye on her.

Raghav chuckled to himself, watching Anaya's antics. There was something endearing about her carefree nature, even in her drunken state. He had always seen her as a friend, but tonight, something changed. Seeing her so vulnerable and childlike stirred feelings in him he hadn't anticipated. As she ran ahead, he couldn't help but smile, feeling a warmth spread through his chest.

Meanwhile, Adi carried Rhea in his arms. She clung to him, her head resting against his chest. In her drunken state, she looked up at him with glassy eyes.

Imagine this as Adi and Rhea

"Adi," she slurred, "I need to tell you something."

"What is it, Rhea?" he asked gently, smiling down at her.

"I love you," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. "I always have."

Adi's heart skipped a beat. He had waited so long to hear those words. "I love you too, Rhea," he replied softly.

She smiled dreamily and kissed him on the cheek before passing out in his arms. Adi held her close, feeling a mix of joy and concern. Before heading out for the celebration, Adi had ensured that his daughter was safe in the hotel room, leaving her with a trusted team member. He had checked on her one last time, making sure she was fast asleep before he left.

Haris and Fiza walked back in silence. Fiza was too worried to enjoy the victory, but then it started raining.

Haris whispered, "Fiza, you can cry if you want. But please, try to enjoy our win."

Fiza looked at him and said, "Why would I cry on such a good day? I haven't enjoyed it yet, but I will now." She ran ahead and started dancing in the rain.

Haris watched her, thinking, "My girl hasn't changed. She's still the same." He felt happy seeing her joyful again.

Fiza motioned for Haris to join her. "Come on, Haris! Dance with me!"

"But I don't know how to dance," he protested.

She grabbed his hands, "I'll teach you. Just follow me." They danced together in the rain, much like the scene from "Jab We Met." Haris's heart raced as he held her hands and danced along. Watching her happiness, he felt relaxed.

Imagine they danced like this in rain Basically imagine Jab We Met scene from tum se hi song

"Keep smiling like this, Fiza. You look beautiful when you smile," he said.

Fiza stopped for a moment, water streaming down her face, mixing with the tears she tried to hide. "Haris, I don't know what I'd do without you," she admitted, her voice barely audible over the rain.

Haris pulled her into a tight embrace. "You don't have to, Fiza. I'm always here for you," he whispered into her ear.

They stood like that for a few moments, the rain pouring down on them, but it didn't matter. They found comfort in each other's presence.

After a while, Fiza stepped back, realizing how close they were. She moved away, adjusting her clothes. Haris also looked around awkwardly.

"Let's forget this. We should get back to the hotel," Haris said, breaking the tension.

They walked back to the hotel in silence again, both lost in their thoughts.

Back at the hotel, Raghav gently put Anaya to bed. She was still murmuring incoherently, her hand reaching out to him. He sat beside her, holding her hand until she fell asleep.

"Sleep well, Anaya," he whispered, brushing a strand of hair away from her face. He watched her for a moment longer, feeling a protective instinct over her. This night had changed something between them, and he wasn't sure what it meant yet, but he knew he wanted to explore it.

Meanwhile, Adi carried Rhea to her room. She was still passed out in his arms. As he laid her down on the bed, she stirred slightly, opening her eyes for a brief moment.

"Adi, don't leave me," she whispered, clutching his hand.

"I'm not going anywhere, Rhea," he assured her, sitting beside her. He held her hand until she fell back asleep, a soft smile on his face.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. Tonight had brought him closer to Rhea than ever before, and he felt hopeful about their future.

As the night ended, everyone settled into their rooms, reflecting on the events of the day. The celebration had been filled with joy, revelations, and unexpected emotions. Fiza lay in bed, her mind racing with thoughts of her cousin's betrayal and the comfort she found in Haris's arms. Haris, in his room, replayed the dance in the rain, his heart still pounding at the memory.

Raghav, in his room, couldn't stop thinking about Anaya. Her playful nature, even when drunk, had touched something deep within him. He knew he was falling for her, and he was excited to see where this newfound feeling would lead.

Adi, in his room, watched over his daughter, his heart full of love for Rhea. He couldn't wait to build a future with her, knowing that their love was finally out in the open.

Author's Pov: The night had been a turning point for all of them, marking the beginning of new relationships and the strengthening of old ones. They had faced challenges and come out stronger, ready to face whatever the future held.
