Recap: Yuvin and Agnes discussed Agnes's dream of designing her wedding dress during their wedding.

In guest house,

"Let me help you, brother," Aarav offered, taking a bag from Yuvin's hand and walked away.

"That might be heavy. Give it to me, Rey," Yuvin replied.

Everyone was surprised.

Suman asked Yuvin, 'Did you call him Rey?'

'Never mind. The luggage is heavy. Give it to me,' Yuvin said.

'I can help you, brother,' Aarav offered.

They walked to the room.

Rachel came out from the room and headed straight to Yuvin. She was wearing shorts, one of Yuvin's favorite outfits on her.

The flashback begins,

Rachel and Yuvin were on a drive.

He rested his hand on her lap, and she smiled looking at him.

In the past,

Yuvin was known to be talkative and exuberantly happy whenever he was around Rachel.

His words flowed effortlessly, punctuated by laughter and animated gestures as they shared moments of joy and camaraderie.

Whether engaging in lively discussions or simply enjoying each other's company, Yuvin's contagious enthusiasm and genuine affection for Rachel were evident in every interaction they shared.

Around her, he seemed to be his most authentic and vibrant self, cherishing every opportunity to express his fondness for her with boundless energy and enthusiasm.

'Why are you looking at me?' Yuvin asked looking at his girlfriend who is smiling at him.

'I'm thinking, how do you always know the perfect size for me? You always buy the right size dresses for me,' she said.

Yuvin chuckled.

'I'm the one looking at it, staying with it, playing with it,' he tried to say, but she interrupted him by placing her hand over his mouth.

" Stop speaking nonsense ", Rachel said. 

Yuvin laughed.

'So I know,' he said.

'Don't you have a problem with my clothes? I always wear revealing clothes,' she asked.

'I don't think it's right to comment on someone's clothes. It's your choice. I won't comment on it. Plus, seeing you like this drives me crazy for you,' he said, placing her hand a little higher.

'We're driving,' she reminded him.

'Then let's pull over,' he suggested.

'Stop being cheesy, Sonu,' she said. But he stopped in the corner of the road.

In the intimate confines of the car, Yuvin exuded an irresistible allure as he leaned closer to Rachel, his demeanor shifting from playful banter to a seductive charm.

With a subtle yet deliberate touch, he traced his fingers along the contours of her cheek, igniting a flicker of desire in her eyes.

Their gazes locked in a heated exchange of longing and anticipation, punctuated by the soft hum of the engine and the rhythmic beat of their racing hearts.

In that moment, the air crackled with tension, charged with the intoxicating blend of passion and restraint as they surrendered to the magnetic pull of their desires, lost in the intoxicating dance of intimacy within the confines of the car.

The flashback ended.

Rachel was wearing the same color dress.

As Yuvin caught sight of Rachel wearing the same dress, a pang of bittersweet memories flooded his heart, etching lines of pain and longing across his face.

The familiar sight stirred echoes of their past together, each thread of the fabric intertwining with moments of shared laughter, whispered confessions, and tender embraces.

Yet, beneath the surface of nostalgia, lay the raw ache of unresolved emotions, a silent reminder of the distance that now stood between them.

Despite his efforts to mask his feelings, the sight of Rachel in that dress served as a poignant reminder of her backstab.

'Hi, So—' Rachel's words were interrupted.

Yuvin had retreated to his room before Rachel could speak.

"Thank you," Yuvin expressed his gratitude to Aarav.

"Can I get a hug instead of thanks?" Aarav requested.

"Look at your face in the mirror. You're acting as if you're flirting with me," Yuvin teased.

"Have you forgiven us?" Aarav inquired.

"I can't easily forget everything, but I'm trying my best," Yuvin replied.

"Thank you," Aarav expressed his gratitude.

Yuvin smiled in response.

Aarav couldn't help but feel a surge of happiness upon hearing Yuvin's admission that he was making an effort to move on from the past.

It was a glimmer of hope, a sign that perhaps their fractured bond could be healed with time and forgiveness.

Meanwhile,

Agnes was in conversation with Ria and Sara, who informed her that Yuvin had severed ties with Florida following yesterday's incident.

Agnes couldn't help but recall Yuvin's assurance that such occurrences would not happen again.

Rachel stopped in the corner to hear their conversation.

"You're blessed to have him," Ria remarked, admiring Agnes.

"I urged him to take action. I made it clear I didn't appreciate the unexpected guest. But I didn't anticipate he would take such drastic measures," Agnes confessed.

"Didn't I tell you? Yuvin is the kind of man every woman dreams of. Not everyone will understand that," Sara remarked knowingly.

Aware of Yuvin and Rachel's history, she aimed to make Rachel realize what she had lost.

Agnes couldn't suppress the surge of contentment upon learning about Yuvin's decisive actions.

It was a validation of his commitment to uphold their shared values and respect their boundaries.

Despite the initial shock, Agnes found solace in Yuvin's unwavering support and his willingness to prioritize their well-being above all else.

Agnes's smile spoke volumes.

"Look at your face. Is this the same face I saw on your wedding day?" Ria exclaimed, astonished.

Yuvin descended the stairs, realizing he had left his small bag containing his laptop in the car. Determined to retrieve it, he swiftly made his way back.

"He's here," Ria announced.

Agnes's gaze met his.

"Yuvin," she called out.

He turned to her.

Without hesitation, she rushed towards him and enveloped him in a warm hug, which he reciprocated. The unexpected display of affection caught the attention of his parents, who had come out for tea and were surprised by the tender moment shared between Yuvin and Agnes.

Binoy, Rachel, Suman, Aarav, and everyone else present bore witness to their embrace.

"Thank you," Agnes expressed her gratitude, her voice filled with emotion.
