After the beach night in Goa, Arjun told Priya to meet him in the desert near Jaisalmer. He had arranged a private luxury camp in the middle of the sand dunes for two nights. It was far away from everything — only sand, stars, and silence.

Priya told her family she was going on a women’s group trip. She reached Jaisalmer and Arjun picked her up in his SUV. They drove deep into the desert. The camp had one big royal tent with a large bed, soft carpets, and curtains. No other tents were nearby.
