As they all settled back into their mundane lives after the memorable trip, two weeks had passed, and the group continued to stay in touch through the chatroom they had created. Abhimanyu and Ramya were now a part of this online community, sharing their daily updates and moments of life.

Anupriya and Ayesha, as diligent as ever, were engrossed in their work at the office. Anupriya meticulously managed her tasks, ensuring everything was organized, while Ayesha was deeply focused on her projects, her determination to succeed evident in every keystroke.

Meanwhile, Abhimanyu had shifted his focus to a different type of work. In his study room, he was engrossed in studying Abhinav and Karthik's case. He spent hours pouring over documents, legal precedents, and evidence, determined to build a strong case for his clients.

Karthik and Abhinav, on the other hand, were caught up in their entrepreneurial endeavors. Their days were a whirlwind of activities, from trying to recover as much data as possible from the stolen app and buying and selling stocks to earn money for their startup. They had also announced their startup to the world and were eagerly awaiting potential investors to get on board.

Amid their busy lives, the chatroom served as a lifeline, allowing them to stay connected and share their updates. It was in this chatroom that they received a message from Ramya. It was an invitation card for her and Abhimanyu's wedding.

The chatroom burst to life with reactions after this unexpected news. Messages of surprise, excitement, and congratulations flooded in from all sides, each member sharing their unique expression. The wedding invitation had added a touch of anticipation and celebration to their everyday lives, reminding them of the special bond they shared as friends
