Ruhani's mind was a storm of unanswered questions, an endless loop of doubt and fear. It felt like everyone around her was lying—Sneha’s condition, Rudra’s strange behavior, Aditya accusing Aryansh, and most of all, what had happened last night between her and Aryansh. Everything felt tangled in shadows, and she had no idea what to believe anymore.

Her heart kept whispering the same thing—she needed to meet Sneha. She needed answers. But the thought of what she was about to do sent a chill down her spine. She never imagined she would seek help from someone she had never even considered speaking to before. Despite living under the same roof, they were strangers. And yet, today, she was going to approach that very stranger for answers.

Taking a deep breath, she picked up her phone. Hesitantly, her fingers hovered over the screen before she finally typed out a message. Her heart pounded in her chest. Would this be a mistake?

She glanced toward the bed. Aryansh was fast asleep. She needed to move quickly. Silently, she got ready, but just as she was about to step out of the room—

A voice, deep and laced with suspicion, froze her in place.

"Rooh... where are you going this early in the morning? Who are you meeting?"
