Episode Five__My Life,Her Rules

If I wasn't of any help to you, would you still have been with us?" Siddharth asked, his tone laced with a hint of vulnerability.

Neha and Vivan exchanged shocked glances. Vivan's expression softened. "Of course, you're my son, and I've finally accepted you to be with Neha," he said, his voice filled with sincerity.

Siddharth nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Okay, Mr. Alavat, I'll help you."

Vivan and Neha's faces lit up with gratitude. "Thank you, my dear," Vivan said, his voice filled with emotion.

Siddharth pulled out two bundles of money and handed them to Vivan, his gesture a symbol of his commitment to helping

Vivan's voice was laced with confusion. "Okay, this is for what, my son?"

Siddharth replied, his tone calm, "For the lawyer that will help you get back your company."

Meanwhile, Kavya was telling Tanya about Sara.

Tanya's eyes widened in shock. "OMG, Kavya, wake up from this madness! So you're throwing your life away because of your mother's marriage? What about you? What will happen to you?"

Kavya's voice was barely above a whisper. "I have no choice, Tanya."

Tanya's words were firm but caring. "You have a choice. You're twenty-two, not eight. In this life, yourself is always first." Kavya fell quiet in thought, realizing her life and the rules Sara was making for her.

In a different scene, Vivan stood up in anger.

"How dare you try to play with me!" Vivan shouted. "You'll see how I will get my company back."

He left in anger. Neha tried to follow him, but Siddharth held her hand until he was gone. She pulled her hand away in anger.

Neha's voice cracked with tears. "You lied to me. You said you'd help him."

She turned and left angrily, tears streaming down her face.

Hills Acting School Cafe*

The TVs in the cafe flickered to life, broadcasting Dev's horror channel. Everyone's eyes were glued to the screen, including Kavya's. Dev's voice sent shivers down their spines.

"It's the horror boy of the horror show, and today, I have a special announcement. It's about my girlfriend, Kavya," Dev said, his voice dripping with embarrassment.

A picture of Kavya flashed on the screen, edited to show her in a horror costume. The cafe erupted in laughter, and Kavya's face turned bright red. Rishi whispered in her ear, "You're bigger than this fool, Kav." He got up and left, leaving Kavya quiet in thought.

Meanwhile, Yvan was telling Kamran and Ruchi about Siddharth's actions. Ruchi's words cut deep. "I can't blame him for anything he's done to you because you deserve it." Vivan's face twisted in anger, and Ruchi left in a huff.

Kamran's voice was calm and collected. "Dad, fighting with Sid isn't an option. I think we should make peace."

But Vivan's anger boiled over. "I'll show him how to play dirty." He stormed out, leaving Kamran looking worried.

In the office , Neha's eyes still burned with pain and anger over what Siddharth had done to her father. When Heer and Nisha entered, Neha's emotions were still raw.

*Dev's Van*

Kavya was yelling at Dev in front of his friends Miky and Nicky.

Miky said, "Come on, Kav. We just want to show the world our beautiful sisters-in-law."

Kavya was in anger. "Hey, I'm not talking to you. You guys are the ones that turned him into a joke." She opened the door and left.

Meanwhile, Neha was excited to see Heer, but she didn't talk to Nisha.

Neha asked in sadness, "But why are you here?"

Heer said, "Nisha asked me to come because she said there's something wrong with you, and she feels like I should be the one to ask you."

Neha looked at Nisha in surprise and burst into heavy crying.

*Dev's Van*

Miky said, "I cannot believe it, guys. That girl called us a joke."

Dev said, "Don't say that she didn't mean it."

Nicky said, "Of course she did. I hate her, dude. And I have a feeling that she's about to break up with you."
