The scene unfolds with Arya rushing to catch up with Anu, a sense of urgency in his steps. He reaches her just in time, grasping her hand and catching her by surprise. Anu’s face lights up with a smile as she sees him, and for a moment, they share an intimate connection filled with joy and relief, a moment they have both longed for. Arya gently holds her hand and invites her to come with him, a gesture that fills Simran, who is watching nearby, with happiness for the two of them.
Meanwhile, in a darker corner of the story, Jalandhar’s aide is frantically searching for Arya. He reports back to Jalandhar, informing him that Arya and Anu have seemingly vanished. Concerned, he begins to look for them, and soon spots Anu making her way to the terrace, accompanied by the pizza delivery guy. Realizing that it’s Arya with her, Jalandhar instructs his shooter to take aim at Arya, a sinister plan forming in his mind.
On the other side of the scene, Pushpa calls Gopal over, inviting him to join her for some pizza. Gopal, however, is preoccupied with searching for Anu. Pushpa mentions that Anu is feeling very hungry, unaware of the tension building around them.
Back on the terrace, Anu, curious and slightly concerned, questions Arya about his disguise. She wonders if he is hiding from someone or if he is in danger. Arya reassures her that he came solely to meet her and cryptically mentions that if someone is keeping a fast for him, nothing bad can happen. Anu, feeling shy, hesitates when he asks her for whom she has kept the fast. Suddenly feeling dizzy, Arya struggles to stay upright, prompting Anu to help him sit down.
He confesses that he missed his medications because he hadn’t eaten anything. Anu’s heart swells with emotion as she learns that Arya has been fasting for her. Tears of joy well up in her eyes, and she asks him to sit for a moment while she fetches something. However, Arya stops her, asking her to stay, but then apologizes and reluctantly lets go of her hand. Anu, understanding yet disappointed, steps away for a moment.
In a tense turn of events, the shooter prepares to take aim at Arya. Meanwhile, Anu rushes back home to grab some medicine for Arya’s blood pressure. Gopal, noticing her hurriedness, inquires about the BP medication she is fetching. Anu lies, saying it’s for a neighbor who has been struggling with high blood pressure. As she hurries, she also thinks about getting some food for Arya. She asks Pushpa for a piece of pizza to take with her, and both Gopal and Pushpa quickly oblige.
Anu, wanting to be considerate, also asks for another piece for Simran, and Pushpa happily agrees. Grateful, Anu thanks them and rushes back to the terrace, unaware of the imminent danger.
Just as the shooter takes aim at Arya, Anu arrives and steps in front of him, inadvertently blocking the shot. The shooter hesitates, momentarily thrown off by her sudden appearance. Anu, focused on Arya’s well-being, urges him to drink some water first. She gently breaks his fast, feeding him the pizza she brought. Arya, feeling better, expresses his gratitude and asks about the BP medicine she has. Anu explains that her parents also suffer from high blood pressure and take the same medication. Arya, initially resistant, eventually relents as Anu playfully pinches him and insists he take the medicine.
Meanwhile, Jhende grows increasingly worried about Arya’s whereabouts. He calls a guard to check on him, and the guard mentions that Arya wanted to eat pizza. Jhende’s suspicions rise, recalling that Arya typically avoids pizza. Back on the terrace, Arya admits that while he usually doesn’t eat pizza, he finds it particularly tasty today, a moment of levity amidst the tension.
Anu, still concerned, thinks that Arya may have forgotten about his fast. However, he reassures her that he hasn’t forgotten at all. In a sweet gesture, he breaks her fast as well by offering her water and pizza, solidifying their bond in this moment of shared intimacy.
As the tension mounts, the shooter informs Jalandhar that he has Arya in his sights. He asks if he should proceed with the order to kill him. Jalandhar, with a chilling calmness, commands the shooter to pull the trigger, setting the stage for a high-stakes confrontation that could change everything for Arya and Anu.
