episode 2
Reporters rush to Aarohi’s father’s car as he arrives late
Reporter
"Mr. Singhania, your daughter just made headlines at the Shekhawat event! Any comments?"
Reporter 2
"Is this a new alliance or a scandal waiting to explode?"
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"Move! I have nothing to say!"(frustrated)
Reporter 2
"But Sir, isn’t it true the Shekhawats and Singhanias—"
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"She wasn’t supposed to be there! Now get out of my way!"(snapping)
He storms into his mansion, slams the door. A moment later—doorbell rings. A servant opens it.
Maid
"Sir… Shekhawat is here."
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
Kunal? What the hell—
Kunal Shekhawat walks in calmly, hands in pockets, eyes sharp.
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
"You should teach your daughter not to play games she can’t win."
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"Sending her was never the plan. You think I’d use my own blood to spy?"(glaring at Kunal)
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
"That’s exactly what it looks like. Bold move. Cheap, but bold." (smirking)
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"You’re crossing a line, Shekhawat." (gritting teeth)
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
"Not yet. But I will. Especially if your daughter keeps crossing into my world."
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
So make sure she stays in line or else it will not be good for you and your family reputation.
Kunal turns and leaves,leaving behind silence and burning anger.
Aarohi enters the Singhania mansion, unaware of the storm waiting for her.
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"Aarohi!"(Shouting)
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"What now?!"(Startled)
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"What were you doing at the Shekhawat party? Do you realize what you’ve done?"
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"It was just a party—"
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"Don’t play dumb! You embarrassed this family in front of the whole city!"
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"I didn’t ask the media to follow me. I went with my friend.
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"Enough! From now on, you don’t step out without my permission."(furious)
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"I’m not your pawn!"
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"No, you’re worse. You’re a liability. I should’ve never trusted you to stay quiet."
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"Is that all I am to you?"(softly)
Vikrant Singhania (FL father)
"If you won’t follow orders, then you’re no use to me."(coldly)
Late night. Aarohi was sitting on the bed, wiping silent tears. Phone buzzes – Ananya’s call.
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"Hey..."
Ananya Sharma (FL bff)
"You okay? I just saw the news... what happened at the party?"
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"Everything’s a mess, Anu… Papa humiliated me in front of everyone. Again."
Ananya Sharma (FL bff)
"He screamed at you for going to the party?"
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"No… for existing. That’s what it felt like."
Ananya Sharma (FL bff)
"Aarohi… don’t say that."(softly)
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"Ananya… sometimes I wonder… is he even my real dad?"(voice cracking)
Ananya Sharma (FL bff)
"Aarohi…"(shocked)
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
"I mean it. The way he looks at me… like I’m a burden. Like I don’t belong."
Ananya Sharma (FL bff)
Nothing is like that Aaru, you are thinking too much
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
I found out that Kunal came to meet Papa. I’m sure he said something that made him this furious.
Ananya Sharma (FL bff)
What are you sure ?
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
Yes, now I have to confront him. I can’t let him get away with this so easily. If he thinks I’ll just sit back and do nothing, he’s completely wrong.(anger in her eyes)
Ananya Sharma (FL bff)
What are you going to do now .?? (confused)
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
I'll meet him Tommorow..
Aarohi sat curled on her bed, the chaos of the party still replaying in her mind.
She opened google and searched something
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
Got it.
She started messaging to an unknown number
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
Hi. It’s Aarohi Singhania. I need to talk to you.
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
Bold. Texting me on my business number, sweetheart?
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
It’s the only number Google had. Be glad I didn’t send a pigeon.
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
You’re funnier than I thought, Miss Spy.(chuckle)
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
I’m not here to joke, Mr. Shekhawat. I need to meet you. Alone.
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
Oh? Planning another “accidental” media stunt?
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
No games. No drama. Just answers.
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
Fine. My time’s expensive. Don’t waste it.
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
Send me the location. I’ll be there.
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
Already did.
[Location pin drops: Shekhawat Empire HQ – Top Floor Office.]
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
See you tomorrow Mr shekhawat
Kunal Shekhawat (ML)
Good night sweetheart
Aarohi Singhania (FL)
Stop calling me that !! (furious)
Kunal saw the message but didn’t reply, and Aarohi had already gone to sleep.
