A girl was completely drunk and her friend tried to stop her.
Tara: “Advi, stop! You’re already too drunk.”
Aadvia (slurring): “Taraaaaaa... don’t stop me, drinks are so tasty yaar.”
Tara: “Advi, stop or else I’ll smash this bottle!”
Aadvia (ignoring): “I have to say something to Mr. Handsome Senior.”
Tara (shocked): “Like this? In this drunken state?”
But Aadvia didn’t listen. She walked away and went behind someone.
Aadvia (blurred voice): “Adi, you know... I have to tell you something that... I...”
Suddenly, a loud sound rang in her ears.
She woke up, breathing heavily.
Aadvia (confused): “Was it a dream? Again the same dream?”
She looked at the time.
Aadvia (panicking): “Oh no, it’s already 8:30! Oh God, what will happen to me... hurry up Aadvia!”
She quickly got ready, wearing a black dress, and came downstairs.
Mom: “Advi beta, at least have breakfast.”
Aadvia: “No maa, I’m already very late.”
Mom: “But beta...”
Aadvia: “Maa, just pack my lunch, I’ll eat at the office.”
Mom: “Alright beta.”
Aadvia: “And yes maa, tell Advait to reach office on time.”
Dad: “Beta, he already left at 6:30 in the morning.”
Aadvia (shocked): “6:30?”
Dad (teasing): “Well, if CEO madam sleeps like this, someone has to reach early, right?”
Aadvia rolled her eyes, left the house, and told her driver to drive quickly.
At a red light, the car stopped. At the side of the road, a boy was proposing to a girl.
Boy: “Will you marry me?”
Girl (excited): “Yes!”
Aadvia saw them and muttered, “Idiots. Crazy people think roads are couple spots.” (She made a weird face.)
Aadvia: “Ajay bhaiya, drive faster.”
Driver (nodding): “Yes madam.”

At VK Group office:
Advait’s laptop was open, but his mind was lost somewhere.
(Advait’s thoughts): “Will Di agree? But how? She’s so strict... so arrogant. What should I do?”
Ananya (snapping fingers): “Hey, where are you lost?”
Advait (hesitant): “Nothing...”
Ananya (concerned): “What happened? Are you okay? Tell me, maybe I can help.”
Advait (nervous): “I... I... I have a girlfriend.”
Ananya (shocked, then bursts out laughing): “What? 🤣”
Advait (pouting): “I’m tensed here and you’re laughing?”
Ananya (serious again): “Why tension? Having a girlfriend is normal.”
Advait (softly): “I want to marry her... but how do I tell Di? She’ll never accept. She hates the very idea of love!”
Ananya: “Impossible... she literally hates the word love.”
Advait (pleading): “You’re her assistant, you know her. Please talk to her for me.” (He joined his hands in front of her.)
Ananya (firmly): “No. First you go and tell mam directly. Speak the truth. Straightforward.”
Advait (hesitant): “But...”
Ananya: “No ifs or buts. She’s your sister after all, I’m sure she’ll understand.”
Advait (relieved, hugging her): “Thanks Anu, thank you so much!”
Ananya (breaking the hug): “Focus on work, Advait.”
She smiled and left.

Just then, Aadvia entered the office.
Employees (in unison): “Good morning, ma’am.”
Aadvia (nodding): “Good morning.”
She walked to her cabin.
Aadvia (to her PA): “Good morning. Ananya, come to my cabin.”
Ananya (nodding): “Yes, boss.”
A few minutes later—
Ananya (knocking): “May I come in, ma’am?”
Aadvia (busy typing): “Come in.”
Aadvia: “Ananya, what’s the update on Mr. Mehta’s file?”
Ananya: “Ma’am, no update. Mr. Mehta said he wants to talk directly to you.”
Aadvia: “Okay, schedule an appointment.”
But Ananya was lost in her thoughts.
(Her mind): “How do I convince mam? How do I tell her about Advait’s wish?”
Aadvia (calling out): “Ananya...”
Ananya stayed silent.
Aadvia (louder): “Ananya!”
Ananya (snapping back): “Yes ma’am!”
Aadvia (raising an eyebrow): “You seem lost?”
Ananya (hesitant): “Nothing ma’am... actually, Advait...”
Aadvia (cutting in): “Right, he even left early for office today. Did he tell you something?”
Before Ananya could answer, a knock interrupted.
Advait (from outside): “May I come in, ma’am?”
Aadvia: “Come in.”
Advait entered, quickly signaling Ananya to leave. Aadvia noticed it.
Aadvia (to Ananya): “Take Mr. Shekhawat’s file and review it. If there are queries, come in directly without knocking.”
Ananya: “Okay boss.” She obeyed and left.
Now it was just Advait and Aadvia.
Aadvia (gesturing): “Sit, Advait.”
He sat nervously.
Aadvia (softly): “Tell me, what is it?”
Advait (hesitant): “Di... vo... Di...”
Aadvia (calming tone): “Relax, just say it.”
Advait (blurting out): “I... I have a girlfriend.”
Aadvia froze in shock.
Will she accept?
