MAIN STORY:

After Jenna's performance, Surya walks up to her to offer congratulations. Seeing Surya approach Jenna, Aashutosh feels a pang of jealousy and decides to divert his attention. He strikes up a conversation with a girl standing nearby.

Aashutosh asks her, "What's your name?" The girl replies, "I'm Soniya. And what's yours?" Aashutosh smiles and says, "I'm Aashutosh, but you can call me Aashu if you like."

Soniya raises an eyebrow and asks, "Do you have a girlfriend?" Aashutosh's expression turns wistful, and he replies, "No, I don't have a girlfriend."

Just then, Surya appears out of nowhere and grabs Aashutosh's hand, his eyes gleaming with possessiveness. "This guy doesn't have a girlfriend, but he does have a boyfriend – me. And I'm extremely possessive. So, it's best if you keep your distance."

Soniya's eyes widen in surprise, and she asks, "Aashu, who is this guy?" Surya's expression turns stern, and he warns, "You'd do well to address him as 'brother.' He's mine, after all."

Soniya's eyes sparkle with amusement, and she teases, "Oh, so you're 'Your Highness' from the Taj Palace?" Surya doesn't respond; instead, he tightens his grip on Aashutosh's hand and leads him away from the party.

As they walk away, Soniya can't help but comment, "The prince of Taj Palace has a boyfriend, not a girlfriend? How ridiculous! But what do I care? Let them be."

Surya takes Aashutosh to a secluded park, where they're surrounded by nothing but nature. Surya's expression turns serious as he asks Aashutosh, "What's all this, Aashu?"

Aashutosh feigns innocence, "What's all what?"

Surya's eyes narrow, "Don't play dumb. You've been ignoring me for days, and now I see you flirting with that girl. What's going on?"

Aashutosh's expression turns defiant, "Oh, you mean like how you were cozied up with Jenna in your room? What was that all about?"

Surya's face softens, and he explains, "Aashu, I was just pretending to be interested in her to make you jealous. I didn't mean to hurt you."

Aashutosh's voice cracks with emotion, "I knew it. That's why I was trying to make you jealous too. I wanted you to feel how it hurts to see your lover with someone else."

Surya's eyes well up with tears as he takes a step closer to Aashutosh. He places a hand on Aashutosh's waist, his touch sending shivers down Aashutosh's spine.

Surya's voice trembles, "And what about what you said to me earlier? About just seeing a photo and assuming the worst?"

Aashutosh's face contorts in regret, "Please forgive me, Surya. I promise to be stronger for you, to trust you more."

Surya's expression turns stern, "Don't make me cry anymore, or I'll have to punish you."

Aashutosh's eyes widen in curiosity, "Punish me? How?"

Surya's lips curve into a sly smile as he leans in to kiss Aashutosh, "Like this."

As their lips meet, the tension between them dissipates, replaced by a deep longing and desire. The punishment is forgotten, and all that's left is the love they share.

As their lips meet, the world around them melts away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the depths of their passion. Surya's hands roam over Aashutosh's body, sending shivers down his spine.

Aashutosh's arms wrap around Surya's waist, pulling him closer as they deepen the kiss. The air is filled with the sound of their ragged breathing, their hearts beating as one.

Surya's fingers thread through Aashutosh's hair, his touch sending sparks flying through Aashutosh's body. Aashutosh's hands slide down Surya's back, his fingers digging into Surya's skin as he pulls him closer.

Their lips part for a moment, and Surya's eyes lock onto Aashutosh's, his gaze burning with desire. "I love you, Aashu," Surya whispers, his voice trembling with emotion.

Aashutosh's heart skips a beat as he hears the words he's been longing to hear. "I love you too, Surya," he replies, his voice barely above a whisper.

Their lips meet again, and they lose themselves in the kiss, their love and passion consuming them. The park around them fades into the background, leaving only the two of them, wrapped in each other's arms, their hearts beating as one.

As they break apart for air, Surya's eyes sparkle with mischief. "I think we've had enough punishment for today, don't you?" he asks, his voice dripping with seduction.

Aashutosh's face flushes with desire, and he nods, his eyes locked onto Surya's. "I think you're right," he replies, his voice husky with need.

Surya's lips curve into a sly smile, and he pulls Aashutosh back into his arms, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss that leaves them both breathless and wanting more.

Surya's lips still locked on Aashutosh's, he walks him backwards towards his car, parked nearby. Aashutosh's hands are still wrapped around Surya's waist, his fingers digging into Surya's skin as he deepens the kiss.

As they reach the car, Surya breaks apart from Aashutosh, his chest heaving with desire. He opens the door and motions for Aashutosh to get in. Aashutosh slides into the passenger seat, his eyes never leaving Surya's.

Surya gets in behind the wheel, his eyes locked onto Aashutosh's. He starts the engine and begins to drive, his hand reaching out to intertwine with Aashutosh's.

As they drive, the tension between them builds, their desire for each other palpable. Aashutosh's hand squeezes Surya's, his eyes burning with need.

Surya's eyes flicker towards Aashutosh, his gaze filled with longing. He steps on the gas, eager to get Aashutosh back to his room.

Finally, they arrive at the palace, Surya parking the car in his private garage. He turns off the engine and turns to Aashutosh, his eyes blazing with desire.

"Come," Surya says, his voice low and husky. "Let's go to your room."

Aashutosh nods, his heart racing with anticipation. He gets out of the car, Surya following close behind.

As they walk to Aashutosh's room, the tension between them builds, their desire for each other almost unbearable.

They reach the room, and Surya pushes open the door, motioning for Aashutosh to enter. Aashutosh walks in, Surya following close behind.

As soon as the door closes, Surya's lips are on Aashutosh's, their bodies pressed together as they devour each other. The room around them fades into the background, leaving only the two of them, lost in their passion.

Their lips part for a moment, and Surya's eyes lock onto Aashutosh's, his gaze burning with desire. "I want you," Surya whispers, his voice trembling with need.

Aashutosh's heart skips a beat as he hears the words he's been longing to hear. "I want you too," he replies, his voice barely above a whisper.

Their lips meet again, and they lose themselves in the kiss, their love and passion consuming them. The room around them fades into the background, leaving only the two of them, wrapped in each other's arms, their hearts beating as one.

In the middle of the night, Aashutosh lies in bed with Surya, wrapping his arms around him and gently caressing his back. Surya turns to face Aashutosh, his eyes locking onto his.

Aashutosh feels a flush rise to his cheeks as he meets Surya's gaze. "It's still night," he whispers, his voice trembling with shyness. "Why are you awake already?"

Surya's expression turns playful. "Someone's been bothering me, so I woke up early."

Aashutosh's eyes sparkle with mischief. "Someone bothered me first, and now I'm getting my revenge."

Surya pulls Aashutosh into a tight hug. "Sleep, baby. I need to wake up early and sneak back to my room through the window."

Aashutosh looks up at Surya, his eyes pleading. "Just one kiss, and I'll sleep, I promise."

Surya's lips curve into a gentle smile as he leans in to kiss Aashutosh. "Okay, now sleep."

Aashutosh snuggles into Surya's chest, feeling safe and content. "Okay, I'll sleep."

As they settle into a peaceful slumber, the darkness of the night is filled with the warmth of their love, their hearts beating as one in the silence of the night.
