**Arjun:** "Aaru, have you seen my phone?"
**Aarohi (without looking up):** "Where did you leave it last?"
**Arjun:** "If I knew that, I wouldn’t be asking you, would I?"
**[Aarohi smirks and closes her book, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.]**
**Aarohi:** "Check your pockets. It’s usually there when you lose it."
**[Arjun pats his pockets and pulls out his phone, looking sheepish.]**
**Arjun:** "Well, would you look at that. How did you know?"
**Aarohi (grinning):** "It’s a gift. Or maybe I just know you too well."
**[Arjun flops down on the couch beside her, leaning his head on her shoulder.]**
**Arjun:** "You do know me too well. It’s scary sometimes."
**Aarohi (teasing):** "Someone has to keep track of you, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble you’d get into."
**Arjun (mock offended):** "Trouble? Me? Never!"
**Aarohi (laughing):** "Yes, you. But don’t worry, I’ll always be here to save you."
**[Arjun wraps an arm around her, pulling her closer.]**
**Arjun:** "Good, because I’d be lost without you."
**[Aarohi leans her head against his, both of them content in the simple comfort of each other’s presence.]**

**[Akshara is pacing the room, a determined look on her face. Abhimanyu is sitting on the bed, watching her with a mix of curiosity and concern.]**
**Abhimanyu:** "Akshara, what’s going on? You’ve been restless since morning. What are you planning?"
**[Akshara stops pacing and turns to face him, her eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief.]**
**Akshara:** "Abhi, I’ve had enough of Aarohi always getting the upper hand. Everyone keeps praising her like she’s some kind of saint, but we both know she’s not as perfect as she seems."
**[Abhimanyu frowns slightly, unsure where this is going.]**
**Abhimanyu:** "Akshara, what are you trying to say?"
**Akshara:** "I’m saying that it’s time to show everyone the real Aarohi. We have a chance coming up—the pooja at the Birla house. I want you to invite the Kapoor family, including Aarohi, to the event."
**[Abhimanyu looks surprised.]**
**Abhimanyu:** "You want to invite them? But why? I thought you didn’t want them here."
**Akshara:** "Exactly, that’s the point. We’ll invite them, make it look like we’re being cordial, but we’ll use the occasion to expose Aarohi’s true colors. We can create a situation that shows her in a bad light."
**[Abhimanyu hesitates, sensing the bitterness in Akshara’s tone.]**
**Abhimanyu:** "Akshara, are you sure about this? This could backfire and make things worse."
**[Akshara walks over to him, sitting beside him on the bed. She places a hand on his arm, looking at him with pleading eyes.]**
**Akshara:** "Trust me, Abhi. I just need your support on this. Aarohi has been getting away with too much, and it’s time we put her in her place. We’ll do it subtly, without making it obvious."
**[Abhimanyu sighs, torn between his loyalty to Akshara and his unease about the plan.]**
**Abhimanyu:** "Alright, I’ll invite them. But, Akshara, just be careful. We don’t want this to blow up in our faces."
