At school....

Pratha's POV:
I was busy meeting my students' parents, hoping that my mom would come with Avni. I couldn't help but think about Avni when suddenly I heard her voice,

"May I come in, Mam?" I couldn't believe my eyes. Was I dreaming or something? I wasn't shocked that Avni came here, but I was shocked because I saw Garv with her.

"Yeah, come," I said.

"Mam, he is my Mosa Ji, my Masi's boyfriend," Avni said. I was shocked by what Avni said.

"Avni, don't lie," I said in anger.

"What lie? You're playing the role of a teacher, so just act like one," Garv said.

"Oh really... sit here," I said, giving him an angry look. How dare he? How could he tell Avni to call him my boyfriend? He's really bad. I need to keep him away from Avni.

Garv's POV:
Now, this is the perfect lesson for you, Pratha. You ignored my pic yesterday, so now it's payback time. But don't get me wrong, it's not like I've fallen for you or anything. I just enjoy teasing you a bit. Thanks to Avni, I found out about your parents' meeting. And hey, I have a feeling this little game between us is just getting started. Buckle up, Pratha!

Garv's POV:
I saw a message from an unknown number. It said,

"Hey, I'm Avni Rathore. I added your number to Masi's phone. Now, I need a favor. Today is my parents' meeting, but I also want to go to a restaurant and have some sweet food like donuts. The problem is, my Nani doesn't want me to eat those donuts. So, can you please come with me instead of Nani to the parents' meeting?"

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read that message. Avni wanted me to go with her to the parents' meeting instead of Nani. It was unexpected, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to tease Pratha. Plus, who can say no to donuts? I replied,  " Yes ."

Present...

"First, I wanna ask you something, Mam," I said.

"Yeah, sure," Pratha replied.

"Actually, can you teach me something..." I said with a smirk.

"You know what, sir? I may not know about 'something,' but I can surely teach you some manners," Pratha said in a slow voice, accompanied by a fake smile.

"Aww, so sweet of you, Mam. But what if you lose your manners while teaching me?" I said, playfully biting my lower lip.

"Just shut up! This is a school," Pratha said, her smile now forced, revealing her anger.

"Oh yeah, this is a school," I said, handing her a card.

"What's that?" Pratha asked, clearly confused.

"It's a card for a famous restaurant," I said, rising from my chair.

"Bye, Mam," Avni said.

"Bye, Mam," I said, winking at her with a mischievous smirk.

Riya's POV:
I was in the mandir, praying and seeking blessings. Hey Lord Shiva ji, you gave me what I wanted. I know Rishabh and I aren't together yet, but I have a feeling he's missing me too. But look, he's so busy that he didn't even call or message me. I was complaining to Lord Shiva ji about Rishabh, and then my phone started ringing. I looked at the screen and I couldn't believe my eyes. Rishabh is calling me! My heart skipped a beat, and I'm blushing so hard right now. Ahh, what a pleasant surprise!

" Hello, my little angel..." Rishabh said.

" Hello my love, you know what? I'm  missing you..." I said.

"Oh really? Then why didn't you call me?" Rishabh asked.

"I was waiting for your call..." I replied.

"Oh my, so does that mean my little angel is angry with me now?" Rishabh asked.

"Why would I be, huh?" I questioned.

"Because I'm all yours to love, hate, be jealous of, and complain about..." Rishabh said.

"Yeah, you are mine, but I'm not angry with you," I assured.

"Oh, okay then, give me a kiss," Rishabh said.

"On a call?" I asked, feeling a bit confused.

"Hmm, you have to kiss me when we meet," Rishabh teased.

"Yeah, yeah, okay," I said, but deep down, I knew I couldn't kiss him. After all, I'm a girl, and he should be the one to make the move.

Rishabh's POV:
After some more chatting, we ended the call, and I started reminiscing about our moments together. She is my love. Suddenly, my phone started ringing, and I saw that my cousin brother was calling me. I answered the call, saying, "Yeah, brother, hello."

Veer greeted, "Hello, chote, how are you, huh?"

I replied, "I'm all good."

Veer then shared, "Oh, that's good. So, actually, I called you because I need a favor from you."

Curious, I asked, "What kind of favor?" We both chuckled.

Veer explained, "Actually, Mom wants me to get married, and you know what? I don't want to marry anyone. But Mom doesn't understand me."

Understanding his dilemma, I replied, "Oh, that's a problem, not just for you but also for the girl who marries you..." I said, knowing that he is a mafia boss known to the world.

Veer agreed, saying, "Yeah, of course, because you know everything about me. So, how can I marry someone?"

Concerned, I asked, "But brother, what can I do, huh? Badi Mummy doesn't understand me. And if I try to intervene and save you, she will surely complain about me to Dadi. So, I'm really sorry." Veer is not just my elder cousin brother, but also a close friend to me.

" Bhai Tera thik hai ghar ka chota beta hai isiliye koi shaadi ki tension nhi hai tujhe... " Veer said while laughing.

" Ha ha, that's true..." I said.

We both cut off the call.

Pratha's POV:
I was feeling like I had a fever. I entered my house, and without talking to anyone, I went straight to my room. I opened the door and was shocked to find him there.

"Oh God, what are you doing here?" I asked, my voice filled with surprise.

" I'm playing with avni or..." Garv approached me, and Avni left us alone in the room.

"Or...?" I questioned, my curiosity piqued.

"Or you can say that I was waiting for you," Garv said, his voice low and intense. He pinned me against the wall, his closeness overwhelming. My heart raced as our eyes locked. The tension between us was palpable.
