Next morning.

Adhvik was getting downstairs when Abhimanyu stopped him.

"I have arranged a date for you and Shravni tonight at 8. I'll send you the location and at least don't embarrass me there!!" Abhimanyu said sternly.

Adhvik just hummed in response and went towards the dining table where Nishtha and Rudra were sitting while Haital was arranging breakfast to the table.

"Adhvik, come have breakfast. You didn't have dinner last night, too!" Haital said to which Adhvik nodded and sat on a chair.

"Adhvik, will you drop me to my office today? My car is at the office only!" Nishtha asked.

"Why is your car at the office?" Adhvik asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Daksh dropped me." Nishtha replied.

"Why?" Adhvik and Rudra exclaimed at the same time.

Nishtha looks at them with an annoyed expression.

"What, why? Can't he drop me off!" Nishtha said, annoyed by the behavior of her brothers.

"I didn't say that!" Adhvik replied.

"Why are you two arguing?" Haital asked.

"Nothing! I'm just looking out for my little sister!" Adhvik said, shrugging his shoulders.

"Yeah! What little sister? You are just 8 minutes older!" Nishtha said irritatedly.

"Still older!" Adhvik replied, and Nishtha just rolled her eyes.

"Why are you two arguing while having food?" Abhimanyu asked while joining them.

"Uh.. nothing, Papa!" Nishtha replied immediately.

"Your wedding invitation cards have been printed." Abhimanyu said, looking at Adhvik.

"Oh... okay. Umm... I'll take a few cards for my friends." Adhvik said in an indifferent tone.

Adhvik and Nishtha settled in the car, and he started driving.

"Adhvik, why are you getting married to Shravni?" Nishtha asked concerned.

"Nishtha, look, i have to get married one day, and honestly, this deal is very important to us! So there's nothing wrong with getting married to her!" Adhvik said dryly.

"But why? You are just going to get married to any random person for a deal! Huh! You still love Brinda, don't you!?" Nishtha asked. She wanted to ask this for so long but was worried about hurting Adhvik, but after a lot of debate with herself, she finally asked.

"I don't! I don't love her or anyone, and the truth is that i am not capable of loving someone ever again! Not after how it ended the first time!" Adhvik said his voice slightly louder. He was almost shouting.

"How long do you think you can lie to yourself? You are just going to regret this decision of yours!" Nishtha said, matching his tone.

"I don't think that i can regret anything more than loving her! She is the biggest regret of my life. I hate her, and i will get married to Shravni.... it was her who broke me, and now i will not let anyone come this close to me!" Adhvik said in a low tone, making sure Nishtha didn't hear him.

"Get down. We reached!" Adhvik added before Nishtha replied.

Nishtha didn't say anything else and got down of the car, slamming the door harshly and leaving for her office.

Adhvik then drove to Mittal Enterprises. He went to reception.

"Is Brinda Mittal in the office?" Adhvik asked the receptionist, his heart hammering his rib cage.
