Good start to the story, bro! The initial setup is really engaging.

The way the story began, with Manav's friends' comments, had me thinking the same thing – that Drishti would be immediately swept off her feet by the charm and energy of the Mumbai wala. It's interesting, then, to see this story of potential seduction and treachery playing out not in the glitz of a big city, but rather in a tier 3 city with its own unique character and dynamics. This setting adds an unexpected layer of complexity.

So, the question now is: How will the change of scenery affect Drishti's perceptions and vulnerabilities? What kind of deceptive game is being played in this new environment? We are eagerly waiting to know what happens next! Keep it coming

The Mumbai stay was an important part of the character development of Dhristi because she came from a backward village and then seeing the amount of skin show and PDA in Mumbai made her get acclimatize to the outside world. She thought only bollywood actresses dressed in small cleavage bearing clothes and no woman in real life does.

The pit stop of Mumbai provides two possibilities - Dhristi who had a very black and white view of sex and marriage got introduced to another world where it was common. Just like passive smoking, these thoughts even though she didnt like slowly entered her conscience.

Or the second option is that since this is narrated by Manav's view, he was blindsided by Dhristi who constantly critiqued the culture of Mumbai but secretly liked it. Since he went to office and morning and returned late evening, he was oblivious what was happening during his absence in a city with noone who knows them.

Whatever it is, the real truth is revealed through CCTV which is where the story heads
