“Hello, folks! I hope you have enjoyed the previous story. Now, let me continue with the remaining part. You are in for a surprise as the events unfold in a way you might not have expected.”
A convivial atmosphere envelops the hall as everyone settles in, relishing the shared company with delight.
Everyone was busy guessing the name. Prashanth enjoyed their answers, but no one guessed correctly. Nanda also tried but couldn’t come up with the right one. Finally, Rani said, “In the Shadows.” Prashanth felt happy and said, “Rani, you are right. Try to guess it completely.”
Rani attempted to guess various titles. Suddenly, Prashanth announced, “The winners will receive a surprise, and they’ll also need to perform some tasks.”
Finally, Rani suggested, “In the Shadows of Love.”
Smiling and applauding, Prashanth responded, “You are correct, but you’ve answered only 50%. Try to complete it fully.”
Rani exclaims, “Oh my god, I can’t, I need to take some rest. Goodbye.” With that, Rani departs.
Entering her room, Rani settles in and begins to sleep. Meanwhile, her friends continue contemplating the title. Shivaji, engrossed in watching reels, has his mobile taken by Jhansi, who urges him, “Bro, just reveal the title.”
Shivaji, glancing at Yashoda, says, “A Tale of Secrecy.”
Prashanth is taken aback and exclaims, “You are right, dear! How did you guess it?”
Shivaji responds, “It’s a godsend miracle.”
With a smile, Prashanth reveals, “Okay, guys, let me tell you the title: ‘IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE: A TALE OF SECRECY.'” Jhansi then inquires, “How does this title relate to our friendship?”
Nanda, with a smile, remarks, “True friends never want to lose their friendship in any situation. Sometimes, friendship leads to becoming life partners. You guys are the best examples. You started your journey as strangers, then became friends, best friends, and finally, life partners.”
Jhansi, also smiling, agrees, “Yes, Grandpa. You are right.”
Prashanth, holding Nanda’s hand, says, “You’re absolutely right, Grandpa. You’re important to us.” Everyone hugs Nanda, getting emotional yet feeling happy. After 2 days, everyone gathers in the hall to discuss something. Unexpectedly, Yawar arrives with a set of housewarming invitation cards. Everyone is intrigued and takes a look at the cards. Each person tries to convey something to Yashoda, and finally, Jhansi whispers something in Yashoda’s ear. Yashoda smiles and agrees. Yashoda then asks, “Rani, are you feeling better now?” Rani replies, “Yes, Grandma. I’m alright now.”
Yashoda says, “Okay, listen to my words carefully. You and Shivaji need to distribute the cards to our loved ones. Meanwhile, others will take care of other tasks. By the way, if you distribute them today, we can go shopping tomorrow.”
Nanda suggests, “You and Rani should go; that’s the better option for everyone. What is your opinion?”
Shivaji gazes at Rani, and although she meets his eyes, she chooses to remain silent. Yashoda asks, “What is your opinion, Shivaji?”
Yawar interjects, “Grandma, why bother them? They will distribute the cards.”
Shivaji responds, “Okay, Grandpa, we will distribute them. Rani, change your dress; we can go now.”
Rani glances at Yashoda and Jhansi, then replies, “Okay.”
Rani steps out and enters the room. Meanwhile, Jhansi and the others look at Yashoda, using sign language to communicate. Shivaji enters the room and changes his shirt. Once ready, Rani approaches Jhansi, who hands over the cards in a bag and provides instructions. Shivaji, now stylishly attired, appears quite handsome. Yawar engages in light-hearted banter with Shivaji. Prashanth, with a direct approach, asks, “Shiva, are you going to distribute the cards, or is there anything else on your mind?”
Shivaji moves closer to Prashanth and, greeting him, says, “Prashanth, I don’t want to risk those things in the presence of this devil. She will return home directly without saying a word.”
Prashanth laughs and says, “Rani, are you going for matchmaking?”
Rani replies, “Yes, I’m going for matchmaking so that I can choose a better person than you, this fellow.”
Shivaji looks at Rani seriously and says, “Are you suggesting that I’m the worst person?”
Rani asserts, “Obviously, you are the worst fellow. I think you also know it. So, just stop discussing, and let’s go for distributing the cards.”
Shivaji, looking serious, says, “Grandma, I’m not interested.”
Rani responds, “Okay Grandma, then I will go and distribute them.”
Rani steps outside, and Shivaji, looking at her, follows. Laughter echoes around them. Rani waits by Shivaji’s bike. As he approaches, he gazes at her, attempting to say something, but the words remain unspoken. Rani settles on the bike, and they set off. They visit relatives, distributing the cards to each house. By 9 pm, they return home. Silently, Rani slips into her room and rests on the bed. Shivaji also enters and lies down. Yashoda looks at them but she doesn’t disturb them.
Everyone is sleeping, and the moon feels bored. It tells the stars, “Dear Star, I’m feeling quite bored today. Every day, those guys make us happy with their naughty and silly antics. But now, they just slept without any fights.”
The Star responds, “Yes, Dear. I’m thrilled to see them together, but they always fight, and they never decide to stay together. Can you please fulfill my dream?”
The moon responds with a smile, “I’m sure, dear; you are my friend, and I will definitely fulfill your desire. Okay, let’s take a look at my miracle, and let me know how you feel?”
The star replies, “I’m sure. I will definitely answer.”
The moon says, “Okay, take a look at them.”
Great job, everyone! I sense you’ve savored this chapter and are on the edge of your seats, eager to unravel the fate of the Moon and Star. The anticipation is palpable. Now, let’s hit pause and recharge for the exciting revelations that await!
