Avi agrees to stay for another month to honor the legal notice, keeping his distance yet remaining in the orbit of Naina. He continues to perform his duties while managing the growing tension between them. This delay allows emotions to evolve away from anger toward possibility.

Rukmini mistakes Avi for the secret lover, prompting Naina to ask him to pretend to be that lover for a few days to cheer her mom. Avi agrees, stepping into a role that blends truth with deception. The ruse short-circuits the boundary between friendship and romance.

It is revealed that Avi was not actually going to marry; the wedding invitation is a plan by Rukmini to reunite the lovers. The revelation reframes earlier misunderstandings and foregrounds the parents' role in their children's happiness.

At the wedding, Rukmini meets and reconciles with her former lover Dharmendra. The ceremony becomes a catalyst for healing old wounds and uniting the families. Avi and Naina's union stands as the culmination of the emotional journey.
