*As secrets deepen, so does the danger. Iyer's return to Gokuldham raises the stakes. The innocent milk-glass exchanges between Rishi and Babita are starting to attract attention. And Babita? She only seems more thrilled by it.*

**\[INT. SOCIETY COMPOUND – EVENING]**
*(Rishi walks toward Abdul's shop, thinking about the morning's encounter. Babita's voice, her words, her scent — still fresh in his mind. He's grinning when a voice breaks his thoughts.)*
**Iyer (stern):**
"Rishi."
*(Rishi turns. Iyer is standing behind him, arms crossed.)*
**Iyer:**
"You've been spending a lot of time near my house lately."
**Rishi (coolly):**
"Just helping Babita ji with a small issue. A delivery confusion, nothing big."
**Iyer (eyeing him):**
"She didn't mention it."
---
**\[INT. BABITA'S FLAT – FLASHBACK, EARLIER THAT DAY]**
*(As Rishi left that morning, Babita pulled him back for a brief moment by the arm.)*
**Babita (whispers):**
"Iyer's back tonight. No morning visits for a few days. Unless you want to risk getting caught…"
*(She bit her lip in mock warning. Rishi shivered. He nodded and left.)*
---
**\[BACK TO PRESENT – SOCIETY COMPOUND]**
**Iyer (leaning closer):**
"You know, I don't trust easily."
**Rishi (with a calm smile):**
"Neither do I."
*(There's a pause. Iyer walks off, suspicious.)*
---
**\[INT. BABITA'S FLAT – NIGHT]**
*(Babita is brushing her hair, wearing a subtle lavender robe. Iyer is watching TV nearby, unaware of the glances Babita keeps stealing toward her phone.)*
**Text from Rishi**:
*"He suspects. What now?"*
**Babita (smiling slightly, types back):**
*"Then we be careful. But being careful is half the fun."*
*(She looks at Iyer for a second, then adds a new message.)*
**Babita**:
*"Tomorrow. Noon. Balcony."*
---
**\[INT. RISHI'S ROOM – LATE NIGHT]**
*(Rishi lies in bed, staring at the ceiling, heart pounding.)*
**Rishi (narrating):**
*"Iyer's watching. Babita's daring. I'm somewhere in the middle — one wrong move from being thrown out of Gokuldham or into Babita's arms completely. I wasn't sure which scared me more."*
---
**\[INT. GOKULDHAM BALCONY – NEXT DAY, NOON]**
*(Rishi steps onto the quiet side balcony of the society. Babita is already there, wearing dark sunglasses, a tight white blouse, and sipping cold coffee like she's in a luxury spa. She motions for him to sit.)*
**Babita (softly):**
"You handled Iyer well. Impressive."
**Rishi:**
"I don't know how long I can keep doing it."
**Babita (turning toward him, smile teasing):**
"Then stop coming."
*(He looks at her. She raises an eyebrow. The game is back on.)*
**Rishi (grinning):**
"Tempting offer. But I haven't earned my next glass of doodh yet."
**Babita (laughing):**
"No, you haven't. But you're close."
*(She leans in, whispers near his ear.)*
**Babita:**
"Want a taste right now?"
---
*(Rishi tenses. But she stands quickly, brushing past him, her hand sliding across his back lightly.)*
**Babita:**
"Earn it. Tomorrow. Bring me something… expensive. Something that says: *I want more.*"
*(She leaves him stunned on the balcony.)
