You got Such a Big Job There Must Be A Small Party Man!! Hearing this everybody Gets excited and all the people starts forcing them As Dhruv is not in that great financial condition as Riya He tries to deny them but As Riya is well enough rich She Agrees for the party While She Hates Party The Most But She knows she has to Move On its a new future and maybe this is God¡¯s way to tell her it''s time to move to she decide she will party she will Enjoy and Live Once More Again!

Just at about 7:30 Hemant Gets a Call On His Cell Phone He Sees It''s Rajesh So He doesn''t think too much and pickups the phone. He was watching Daily News on television and his daughter was in her room and his wife Was working at the kitchen for the dinner. Hemant Says Hello and He Gets a Low Tone Hello from the other side Rajesh. He knows something is wrong because Rajesh Voice is never sounding so low. Hes always loud and has a heavy voice and speaks with alot of pride Hemant then says Rajesh What¡¯s Wrong? Your voice doesn''t sound okay? Is everything alright? He gets another low tone reply. Which shocks him. Rajesh Says Hemant The Marriage is not happening yet. And please don''t ask me questions about it why and why not. It''s just not happening at the moment. I know you are the only one who knows me well so please understand and im very sorry for all this. Before Hemant Could say even one word. Rajesh Hangs Up The Call. Hemant is in shock that what happened? Why did Rajesh did it?? Was something upset? Him? I know he not like others who would difference between super rich and middle class. We have been friends for so long maybe something else is wrong. Because Hemant is very good friend of Rajesh he thinks something must be wrong will get clear and he think in his mind (that I will call him again soon tomorrow or day after tomorrow to sort this out) it''s kinda disappointing for him he thought that today he announce this great news to his family but anyway he doesn''t think much about it. But was still in shock from the phone call. Anyway At Around 8:00 Raj Reaches His Home as he gets inside he goes to the bathroom and freshens up. And as usual he is very hungry after reaching Home and asks for dinner. And the dinner is served. Everybody sits at the Dining Table. His dad doesn''t make a word. About Marriage Proposal. While eating Raj Notice his Dad¡¯s Face he thinks something is bothering him. He thinks then maybe he thinking about My Or My Sister Pihu Future. Then he speaks and say Dad Do Not Worry We Are On The Path He Says with huge smile on his face. His dad comes out of shocks and says what? Raj says nothing again smiling and his sister too smiling. His dad doesn''t understand anything and they continue eating. (Meanwhile in Riya''s House No One Eats The Dinner tonight Expect Riya¡¯s Mom and Her Brother Ishan) after the dinner is complete Raj takes a post walk after meal and then starts working on his laptop. Meanwhile Riya Around the same time starts listening some music and then slowly slowly she falls asleep. And also Raj Works until he feels tired and then makes up his bed and also Sleeps. In The Morning around 7am Raj Wakes Up and follow daily old routine of the many millions of people around world. Brushes his teeths and takes a shower and around 8am he takes His Breakfast and around 8:40 he leaves for His daily Mumbai Local Train.

She always convince or asks for forgiveness from her dad. She writes beautiful words and a poem and then a sorry. Then draws a little smiley. And a signature which says. To The World¡¯s Best Dad from His Little Princess! Then she puts the notes on Table with the Daily Newspaper his Dad Reads! And then she leaves! She usually takes a cab for her office! And she will do the same today as well! So she books a cab and leaves! For the office. One more reason for leaving early is that Her New Workplace is situated far away from her home so it takes alot of time to reach there and plus she taking a Cab not a train so even more because of traffic even in early mornings in Mumbai! And she doesn''t want to be late. At the First Day of Her Work. At around 9:45 Raj Reaches His Office and Also Around same time at 9:50 Riya Reaches The Office. Then as Raj Gets Settled in his desk he looks behind as he hears some footsteps. As he turns back he is amazed kind of! Riya is walking toward her desk.

And he also thinks that he doesn''t like Rihann but one thing is true that he is the most handsome guy around but now he thinks That He has some good competition. As Riya looks so great! But Raj has no dirty thoughts Yet but hes just amazed with the look and overwhelmed and a feeling he gets which is unexplainable! In words) Riya Says Good Morning To Raj and Raj comes back to present from his thinking and Says Oh Hey Good Morning Riya You Look Great Today! (oops he thinks in his mind I shouldn''t have this! I should have said just good morning. Now she will think I''m flirting with her early morning) Riya Smiles and Replies Oh Thank You and You Look Great too not bad! Raj''s kinda laughs. Hes just wearing a normal shirt and pants that he wears every other day but I guess that way you gotta reply a compliment he thinks in his mind! Raj then Says. Today is the party? So have you decided where are we going to. changing the topic is what Raj is trying to do. Riya says No not Yet! But they said Food and A Good Movie so Maybe a Mall? Nearby! Any popular Mall would be perfect. Mumbai has so many. Raj then replies. Yes Riya says. Let''s see! I will let everyone know by afternoon. As we are leaving in evening! So! After our shifts are Done!

She gets angry often and likes the work which is perfect. No one knows about her too much as she''s quite a private person. As she enters Raj sees her but don¡¯t think too much. He respect her Unlike Rihann but Raj doesn''t like the attitude of Siya either and her behaviour too. Raj think in his mind (Man Oh Man Who would Dare to Fall in Love with This Girl!

    As everyone Gether to Go out. 15 to 20 people including Raj and Riya ofcourse. Siya Sees all of them she doesn''t know what are they talking about Neither about the party. She was not invited by anyone so. She closes in and asks everyone. What''s so much hype about? What are you all talking about?? A Fellow Employee Replies. Mam We are heading out to a nearby Popular Mall for a small welcome party of Riya and Dhruv. Siya says then Oh So how many of all of you are going? She asks curiously. Riya Replies Mam we are like 15 to 20 people and then Siya says oh okay! Happy fun in your small party. She smiles as she is also about to leave now. Just then Riya Stops Siya. And Riya Says Why Don¡¯t you also come with us too? After hearing This Siya Is Shocked about getting invited! And also everyone else. Even Raj! Siya never really gets invited in any parties hosted by the fellow employees most of them just think her as a substitute to Big Belly Boss who is rude and egoist women. Who only thinks about herself. While she clearly does not want to have this kind of imagine. Sometimes she feels bad. But obviously she can''t do anything about it. But she used to it now. This is the life where most of people don''t like her. While she''s a sweet girl inside. Who looks hard outside She¡¯s A Lonely Girl Pretending to Be A Strong Women. She also has a Dark Past. Anyways after hearing this no one can make a word. Nobody really wants her to come and they think it will destroy party mood. Siya says Are You Sure? Riya? I even you all are gonna have fun! I don¡¯t want be great party crusher. Raj listing everything in a shock which is kinda funny his face looks like a swallowed candy at the moment. Siya is also shocked then she asks again are you sure? Riya says yes You should come. You are our boss it be very insulting to not invite you. She doesn''t know what to do nobody really wants her to come but just then Dhruv also invites and asks the same. Siya know That Riya and Dhruv are new and are fine and thinking as. A boss but other people won¡¯t be happy with it. But somehow after some forcing. She Argees to come! Not alot people are happy with it. But it is what it is. She cannot be uninvited or anything now so! Raj doesn''t think too much he¡¯s anyway didn''t wanted to come himself. So he thinks in his mind (it be fun to see Siya in a party and everyone Let''s go enjoy One day he thinks) and then he smiles. Everybody books cabs from the office to the mall. And leaves and On The Way Riya Books Another Ticket for Siya for the same Movie. Somehow she Gets it! It was almost the closing time on the app for that specific show timing. So just 20mins before the show they all reach the mall. So no shopping they think now! But some dinner after the movie. They all then decide while going inside keeping in mind alot people live afar and have to travel late at night. Alot of people also came in there bike they own rather then cabs but Siya dosnt¡¯t own a car. So she also came in a cab. Just then they all wait as Riya goes To The Ticket Counter And Grabs all the Tickets for the show! They all are quite excited! Riya is informed that show timing will be delayed by 25mins because of cleaning issue. So like 30-35mins more time is in the Hands she thinks. Usually the shows are never delayed even in small malls or theatre but as it quite late night show and the movie is quite going housefull shows. The cleaning staff have to clear a bad mess before everyone steps in for another show. So Riya comes back and Informs everybody that show will be delayed for 30mins. Everyone goes ohhh so what should we do? For that time being. The girls replies that timing is too low for any shopping and the boys replies. Yes even for dining! So they don''t know what to do. Just then Raj makes a word and Says and Points Out to everyone. Hey look ahead! Looks like they are hosting some kind of competition out there? Everyone says Ohh Let''s go and check it out then shall we? Then everyone moves to ahead center of mall ground floor. Where some kind contest was going. No one knows what.. Siya was standing with folded hands. Like a Boss kinda funny she not enjoying it the most but it was kinda first experience for her.

It Said in Bold Letters and and Logo of a Couples Holding Hands. Couples in Making? Couples Together Forever. A Couple Contest with Strangers! Raj and Riya and Siya Read outs the texts writtien in banner they all kinda laughs. Specially Raj. Riya alittle bit. She looks A Bit Sad Too. Siya doesn''t care about it. Everyone else is enjoying it. One of fellow Guys Asks. The girl who was somewhat looking like handing the contest with one more girl and a guy! The Fellow Employee asks Hey!

So why don''t you and Riya both go together rather then the chit game. You both don''t want to go. Then you both goto Together and Lose or something she says in Abit funny way! Raj''s gets mad the way she said it. Inside Siya also knows that Raj is The other Competition in The Promotion It be fun to see him lose!! She thinks. Raj knows this too. This completely in a sarcastic way. They both want to see eachother. Raj then thinks a smartplan. Riya still Keeps refusing! But then Raj says ok Siya I will pick Riya and participate in the contest but you have to also participate. I see there another random guy is free. Raj''s goes ahead asks him. Convinced him. He was stranger not a fellow employee. Siya is shocked and mad. But Raj is enjoying this. Siya then starts to refuse but then Raj said. Hey Now you are backing out. He says this in teasing manner.

One by One everyone Gets there Chance and perform the tasks which are following. 1. Posing For A Photo with Holding a specific position. They would rank according to the couple which looks great Together. 2. Performing a weird dance steps with a stranger. To see there chemistry which is alot fun! To watch and here they would rank according to how Eachother of them help eachother and perform the steps and there chemistry ofcourse.. 3. And the Last one. By far the most interesting One in which will be hard to do. Is to that The Man Says a Dialogue to Impress not just the girl but also the whole audience and the judge¡¯s.. they would rank here with emotion and passion with The Man says the dialogue. And feeling and expression of the girl how natural it is. Because you saying this to a complete stranger so most of the reaction would be natural as well. Some of couples who where strangers and some fellows employees. Gets Whistles and Applause on the performance. Raj says to Riya. Looks like we have no chance! Riya didn''t wanted to do this but she doesn''t have any option. She then says Raj why did you agree to do it? You could have said No? She said this in cute way like a Angry kid would say and Raj kinda smiles and Says. That I just don''t know Maybe I wanted to do it with you. Riya turns around and her face is kinda red with the words and she says DO WHAT? Raj Replies hey don¡¯t think those stuff. I''m talking about that I accepted the challenge because of Siya. I would explain to you in details later but in short because you where only one I can do this comfortably with and I think you can trust alittle too least we work at same workplace. Doing these all weird tasks with stranger? Would it be good? You are so good looking I mean. You know what I mean by that. You just thought that I''m only thinking about myself I also thought about you that you have to perform with stranger that''s why. He said this in a good way. Riya realises that is right before she could say anything. Raj Replies No need of any thanks I can really read your face sometimes I don''t know you are quite predictable sometimes. Don¡¯t mind What I said. Riya blushs alittle then He continuous that let''s work together and try to give our best. Let''s have fun. It been awhile since I did. Riya in her mind (she not liking these all couples games because of her past! But she knows she has to Move on not just for Her Dad¡¯s Sake but also herself! So she decides to let''s do it! She ready but she''s a bit uncomfortable about Raj. She okay with him she thinks in her sweet mind curiously but she thinks Raj doesn''t look like a guy who would use her to take advantage of this situation but she doesn''t trust any guys anymore she says in her mind again (I be careful not to be too close like a child she says in her mind) Then just then There Names are called out Riya comes back in present. Everyone Applause and wishing good luck to both of them. Siya looking and also enjoying but alittle frustrated she will have to perform this cheap stuff she thinks. But least she will enjoy the performance of Raj so maybe it''s worth a shot she thinks. So Raj and Riya starts with First Task posing for Photo. This one is simple one for both of them and there is No Need for any closeness in this so they hold there hands together and wave at crowd and pose for a picture. And it''s taken. EasyVeesy Raj says to Riya. Riya Smiles at how silly Raj is behaving like a child. Raj is quite excited! Anyways Move on to the Next Task. Which the Dance steps. Now this is something not just hard for Riya. But it also bring them closeness and Riya¡¯s Dark Past Memory. Riya is hesitating quite a lot to perform these dance steps. But Raj Then Takes Her Hands to Asks Her simply look into my eyes. Let me handle everything. He says with alot more confidence. Riya looks in his eyes. And she gets kinda lost they both locked into each other eyes. Raj doesn''t know what is it. He¡¯s not very good with dancing but he was alright in school and college dance stuff. Riya on the other hand is way better but hesitating to perform her best yet. But as She Gets confidence from Raj. And Raj closes in And says slowly into her Ears (You Can Do It Riya Let''s do it I''m not best but I''m trying Least) hearing this Riya gets a good happy feeling and now well she is confident and she takes the charge to the dance. Raj is shocked with this but it¡¯s nothing for Riya. As she was once the Dance champion in her College Days. So they both really enjoys this. Somehow Lost into each other. Forgetting alot people watching them. Riya doesn''t know she doesn''t feel anything to Raj but for some reason. She feels Safe with Him and His Touch makes her feel something that others don''t and his Eyes locked into Her so beautifully. Raj in his mind (thinks gosh she¡¯s so good I''m not even 30% of her skillset here in her Beauty And Dance) but he was enjoying it as long it lasted for some reason by end of it. They both had smile on each other''s face. Then times ups! What seem to be a long dance was just 2min and 45seconds dance! Such a small duration but makes a big impact. Raj is now Abit Nervous after the dance performance how Riya did in it and the last one is just him and very hard he doesn''t want to say something bad or weird to her make her sad or something he thinks it''s has to be something good to make her happy and also everyone he thinks and thinks until it''s the time for last task and he gets his idea. Riya is also now confident for some reason after The Dance Performance. She doesn''t know what is that feeling she getting bit but her gut feeling tell her Raj is not a bad guy! At all. But anyway she doesn''t know what to do at last round so she asks Raj! Raj replies just whatever I''ll say you just give a good and honest reaction and I will try my best! He cheers up Riya and Riya in return says you can!! Let''s do it. Just before they start the last task. The Judge or Girls who are also managing the contest announced that winning prize will be close to a $270 worth of Voucher for any shopping in the mall vaild for the next 1 year! Use It any time.. Hearing this Raj''s gets excited Ohhh Let''s go that a prize! For fight for!! He then Turns Left and Riya also Turns Right. Raj then Winks at Her and Says Let''s do it. Riya Smiles alot with this.

Riya doesn''t know anything but she like about to cry but controls herself. She focus on results too. But it''s getting very hard for it standing still and she looks at Raj and what he said. He doesn''t even look at her Raj is so focused on Judge¡¯s results. Just then They Announce The Winner. It''s none other then (Raj and Riya!

She cries but she knows she has to go back. As we know she is very strong girl she wants to think of more reason why it happened this all feeling and everything but no time for thinking so she decides to go back now! Wipes her Tears. Corrects her Face because it always becomes like a puff when she cries very badly.. She comes back to scene. As she comes back she tries to smile but it hard she tries to pretend but it''s hard.

Before Riya could say anything further. Unexpected. Raj Pulls and Takes Her Hand in His Hands. Climbs the Stage once Again for Prize. Riya doesn''t want to do it and she take away her hand but the happiness in Raj¡¯s Face make her unable to do so. She think she In mind that i have to move on. No matter what I have to. Then they collect prize and click a photo! And Go inside Movie Hall. The Movie is Just Started By The Way so lucky for them! For the whole movie Riya sits quite and thinks about what happened. She does enjoy the little bit of ending of the movie! She tried to enjoy whole movie but she couldn''t thinking too much about the things happened but least by the end She''s a bit happy that she won and movie was awesome she thought in her mind. As they all starts to leave the movie hall. Siya and Raj did enjoyed movie alot. Raj was happy they won prize money. By end of movie and everything it was close to 11pm almost close to midnight now. They all decide go in groups in the cabs and some obviously take there bikes and go into there home. Dhruv insist that Hey Raj. Man congratulations on your victory or winning whatever you call it. But I think and as I know Siya Mam and Riya didn''t have there bike or car something so they take the cabs. So I think you all three should go together in a group it be safe. I mean 2 girls and you! Siya then replies do I look like a child to you? Dhruv that I have to take Raj to Babysit me till my home? Raj Laughs loud. Riya Smiles too trying to forgot what happened and go home happily. Raj then says in Abit of over confidence tone. Man I''m used to winning now maybe! Other people have to be alerted but Jokes apart I''m feeling very tired and need to sleep. So yeah we going together because if I fell asleep while in the car I don¡¯t know what will happen to me he says jokingly but when you both accompany me. I will not sleep. I mean one senior employee and a Newbie recruit. We have alot to talk about. Alone would be boring before Siya could say anything. Raj said Riya Book the cab. We are Winners No Questions us tonight Siya let''s just go unless I might fall asleep just about here! He says again jokingly. Riya then books the cab. Dhruv and everybody leaves after congratulate Both Raj and Riya for there performance. And one of there colleague even wished luck to Raj and Riya for the Future.

Do you even know what is a brand manager? She says. Raj then replies alittle bit but it must be important post? Right? Siya and Riya both start laughing. Siya then says you are making a joke of yourself. Then Raj replies that¡¯s fine least it¡¯s in front of two girls. He said laughing but please don''t tell anyone he then said. Then Ride continuous to the destination. Before Siya Makes a word. So Raj did you learning acting or something from age 5? Or your family has filmi background? You did really good in acting. And I think the same way you can act in the office to fool anyone. She said teasingly to Raj. Riya does understands what''s happening Between them. She has seen this before and Raj even told her but she doesn''t understand why are they fighting like kids? Anyways Raj Replies to Siya Nah im just good myself but people who need to act are people who don''t work. Or are afraid of something. Hearing this Siya gets angry but controls herself then conversation ends. Siya''s home is quite close but just before that. Riya initiates a conversation. That how has been experience working at this company she asks from both Raj and Siya. Siya replies first and positively. That''s it been great and everyone of the top director board are very good. In the firm. As well as The Big Belly Boss. But Raj Replies in mixture. He said the atmosphere And the work culture are great but overall there¡¯s alot of competition in company which kinda makes It exciting but it''s also tiring. For you. At times. But I guess that¡¯s the life of working in a big company in a big city like Mumbai. Isn''t it? Riya says Yes. And Raj Completes the sentence that The Bosses are indeed good. Sometimes they could be hard to handle but they are quite good. The enjoyment keeps us here going every year. So yeah you will get used to it and enjoy it too besides. You also don¡¯t have much of competition in post you are working he says this in a good way. Riya Yeah. I shall enjoy it! Then everyone goes quite for awhile. Then Siya¡¯s Home comes she leaves the Car. Saying Good Night to everyone. They return the good night wishes to her and she leaves. Then The Journey continues. Then So Raj''s joins Riya at the backseat. She''s is bit shocked but she doesn''t say anything. Raj says finally a real conversation can begin! He said. Riya then said what do you mean? By Real conversation? Ain''t we having a real one by now? Raj Replies Yes we did have indeed but When there was Siya I couldn''t say anything and everything now that she is gone we can talk about anything!. Riya then said and her eyes go big. And she said. Anything? What do you mean by that?. Raj then replies look I don¡¯t understand why you always think me? Of some lowly dude. You think I''m trying do something? Riya says no! But you always talking like that. Before Riya could say anything Raj cuts her off. And said. No I was talking about how we won! It''s was so good! He said. And then Riya said oh that! Yes it was fun. She tries to forget what happened at the final round but yeah it''s kinda stuck within her head. He then asks how was my words at last? Riya even more broken now but she knows she can''t show it infront of him. So she hides her pain and said YES IT WAS GREAT!! I really liked it just like Siya said you where like a actor who was perfect in delivering the dialogues! Raj then said thank you but it wouldn''t be possible without you supporting me then Riya confused like. A child Asks Raj. How did I help you? It was all you in the end! Raj then said Yes it was me. But your Beauty and Your attitude and confidence from second round give me a boost if it was someone else I don''t think I would have done so well or even good. Then they both look in eachother Eyes for a moment. Gaze! Just then Raj pulls himself back. And Riya too. Then Raj said hey takes this! Riya said What? Then Raj from his pocket takes out his purse and then gives the Winning Prize Coupon to Her. Riya is shocked what is this? Its your prize! Then Said in a shocking voice It¡¯s Our Prize we both won it! How can I take it alone? Raj have you gone mad! I can¡¯t! Raj then I don''t need it Riya. I mean I''m not saying this in a bad way but I know Girls like shopping and those stuff. It be better. Maybe if it was cash prize we could split it. But for the Coupon. You should keep it. Riya starts refusing it I can''t take it but Raj said tear it apart then. Riya said What??? Are you really that mad. Yes Raj said tear it apart or keep it. If you let me keep it I would tear it apart. Then Riya said we could both could buy some good stuff from this prize but he said no need too. Let me tear it apart then if that¡¯s what you want. Then Riya No Don¡¯t! Ok Fine I will keep it she says laughing. I never seen a guy like you. You are really mad. Her smile. For a moment Makes Raj Feel something. Raj doesn''t understand what is it but something her smile makes his heart feel light. Her eyes make him want to talk to them. A magical experience! Anyways just then The Driver interrupts there conversation by telling Your destination is here. Please Pay Me My Bill so I can go! I have already done so many trips! But Then Raj said. Riya¡¯s your home is here. But I need still go! Ain¡¯t you put 3 stops? Riya said I did. Then he asks driver with respect we did input 3 stops for Ride then why are asking for bill on 2 stops. Then he said. The Cab Company has changed there policy now. Only 2 stops can be made Per Trip. I think you are not aware of that. You can check your Mobile App for that later. But please pay me. But for that Guy you can book another Cab..I''m about to go home. My home is near so no more trips for me. If I was far away then maybe I could thought of leaving him to his destination too..but it¡¯s not possible now. Then Riya Please take some extra money drop him..he refused. Raj also tried but he gets the same response.. Riya then says. It''s already 1am of middle night how will he find a cab. The driver replies in a rude tone. That doesn''t concern me. Raj and Riya look eachother but before Riya could say anything else. Raj said To Riya. Just Pay Him. We get something there no point for argument with him Riya wanted say but Raj said just pay him Riya it¡¯s fine. Then Riya Pays Him Up. They leave the cab. And the cars goes ahead. Then They Start Walking. Raj asks where is your home? Riya replies It''s 5-8min walking distance from here. But Map couldn''t show the exact location so I put it here. Then she said here let me find a cab! Raj stopped her and said let''s first go near by your home it''s not safe standing here at the middle of night he looked genuinely concerned. Riya liked the gesture the way he said. Trying to protect her. Raj said it''s not safe here let''s keep walking Okay? She then couldn''t refuse because he was right. So they start walking ahead 7mins walking distance to Riya¡¯s Home. While on Footpath walking. They start talking. Raj Asks Riya about her family and if it''s okay to ask! She replies You don¡¯t need be like that. You can ask anything. And yes my family includes my mom and dad and a younger brother. Oh we both alike he then said smiling. Riya stops walking for a second. She said How? Are We Alike! He then replies. I also have Younger sister Pihu and ofcourse My mom and Dad. They both keep walking again laughing. Raj then asks. Are you scared of me? Why did you stop walking and are always hesitated sometimes with me? Do you hate me or something? Secretly because of our first impression are you still mad about it? Raj said this in with a serious look! Riya replied No No I''m not mad about it I already forgotten about it. I''m not mad about anything about you. Either I like you most around in office you been most friendly to me. Since beginning it''s been great help. And also Siya She would second. The way she said this easily that she likes Raj because of his behaviour made Raj¡¯s heart flutter for some reason. Then Raj said well that''s quite a compliment from a beauty like you. Then Riya asked. Why do you always keep calling me beauty? I''m not really that beautiful. She said. Then Raj said you are most beauti¡± his voice cuts for moment. Riya is also shocked what he was about to tell. They both look into eachother Eyes for brief moment before Raj complete his line. You are one of the most beautiful girls in the office They keep saying all of people. Then Riya bit shy said. No I think Siya look greater then me. And what do you think about me? That''s the others options.. just then Raj said Nah Siya is good but you''re a better person least well I been working with her for a long time. But you been here for very little time still I can say you are better person.. then he stops walking. For a second. Riya asks what happened. Raj then said you asked what do I think of you? He then hesitate to say anything. But then speak i mean I''m not sure about it how I feel but you are a good person my heart tells me that atleast and my gut feeling. Riya then Smiles then she said Mine too¡­ then they start walking again. Riya somehow doesn''t know when did she said these words the last time to a Man. She felt some kind of strange joy with Raj she didn''t felt for a long time with anyone. Anyways they continue walking and almost are close to there destination. Just then Riya asks what are your Hobbies and dreams very casually she asked but Raj Replies you asking personal questions now he said this a sarcastic way. Riya said Oh Sorry I didn''t knew. She felt bad for asking. She''s like a child Raj felt in his brain he then starts laughing. Riya asked what there to laugh. Raj then said nothing. But ya I''m like a open book so you can ask those questions too. My Hobbies Are Reading Books and Working on job maybe like a workaholic. Hearing this Riya starts laughing forbit she felt how funny Raj is actually. In her mind she felt He¡¯s Like a Silly Lost Child sometimes.. then She Asked after stop laughing so you read books? He said Yes. Then she said and asked that I''m not much of a bookreader but what do you read. He said all kinds of books either it''s fiction or nonfiction self-help or even some poetry or quotes. Oh she said Poetry? Could you say 2 words? Then Her eyes filled with excitement like a child is on a amusement park. Raj felt it. Then he replied and said. You asked my hobbies and dreams. So I tell my dreams sometimes else it quite a big and ambitious tho. But let me say some words of poetry to fill it up. He said. Riya said please do. They are almost to her Home. Then Raj Said.

 Chapter 13 (Work From Home)

    Siya Leaves The Cab after waving Good Night to Raj and Riya. Then walks ahead till she reaches the main gate of her apartment she lives on the 3rd floor of the building. With her Mother. She then takes the Elevator. Reaches the 3rd floor. And then she unlocks the door with her passcode. As it''s already midnight her mother is already asleep. She then goes to the kitchen and drinks some water. While drinking she thinks something in her mind. After drinking water. She goes inside her room and changes to her night clothes. And keeps things aside. Then she turns on her night lamp. As she fears sleeping in complete darkness. Then she lies down. Her face facing to the ceiling fan. In a straight position. She thinks about what happened today. The enjoyment after a long time. Since Her Past. But something strange comes into her mind. She thinks about Raj like how could he talk so easily to her. And the attitude he has. Like he''s not Rihann who is top most handsome or something. But still she thinks. He comes to me talks like he controls me or something. He jokes with me even tho I''m senior to him. She also thinks how she was hypnotize by the performance of Raj in The Mall. She also thinks about how he talks with her. She doesn''t understand why is she even thinking about him at midnight without any reason. She felt something. But she doesn''t know what it is. Yet. She also thinks the guy she saw outside the office was a different Raj she didn''t expect. Not ambitious but a straight forward funny guy. Who cracks silly jokes and thinks he''s the best or something kinda. She was smiling the whole time thinking this. She realises then what is she doing. She also has work tomorrow. So now she stops thinking and slowly falls asleep.


    Riya goes inside her home with a alot of happiness after today''s events but also a little sadness about what just happened outside. But anyway she sees everyone is sleeping expect her brother who is sitting at the dining hall working. She goes from behind to talk him. Her brother is working on some pdf on his laptop. She Then asks about planning a suprise dinner tomorrow at Her Dad¡¯s favourite Restaurant. Her brother who was working just listening to her gets a little shocked when he hears it. Then He Moves his face from his laptop to his sister. And said Surprise? And You? From where did Sun came today. Or Am I Dreaming!? He said laughingly just then Riya hit him on his hands Said Ishan! Then he replies oh okay I''m not dreaming I guess but really Riya? What happened? A surprise party? You never did something like this in long long time! I mean did you found some dream boy or something in your new office? Hearing this somehow this time doesn''t make Riya Sad but rather angry! Said No! You being childish Why Can''t I Plan a Surprise Party? For my dad and everyone! And it''s not because of any Boy or any stupid stuff you have in your weird mind. It is because I just found a great job in one of most top firms in the city. With a good pay. I mean I can least throw a small surprise dinner! Right? Afterall it took a long time and much much hardwork to find this job. His brother agrees to this. And said Yeah you are Right. We should do this then! But tomorrow won''t be too early? Let''s do it on The Sunday maybe? No then she insisted tomorrow is better the early the better. She wants to do it. So after that she can focus on her work! And she can''t wait! She wants to see everyone happy! Seeing excitement in her eyes. Her brother was bit shocked. But was deeply happy that her sister finally moving on! Being happy again! And maybe slowly forgetting Her Dark Past! He prays in his mind that hopefully she would find her Dream and Suitable Together Forever Guy Soon! Anyway after that she tells him the plans and everything that he has to bring everyone in tomorrow. She will be there.! He said okay and then he said now goto to sleep you have work tomorrow. And I will handle everything! Riya then said you too. But just then before leaving She Hugs her brother Tightly. Said Thank You So Much for always caring for me! Even Though you are the little one. I should be one to step up. But you are! Thank You being always there! For me! Her brother smiles and said I''m always here and now goto sleep. Have a nice sleep. Then she goes into her bedroom and changes to night clothes and keep things aside. And jumps to the bed kinda! Her face shining in the night like the moon. Even now. She''s is so happy today but just then a thought cross her mind which Disturbed Her that What and How Raj did and made her feel! She feels anxious and scared and depressed all of sudden all thoughts comes in her mind One by One. That What Raj did today at the mall. She felt something like She Felt way before it was like a Similar Experience Before. She felt broken and feeling bad. Just then she thinks about The Moment Just Happened Outside. How When Raj said the words of his magical poetry. She was lost in him for a moment looking at his face. Like something attracted her to about him. She can''t think like this she said to herself I know I can never love someone nor will someone love me! I''m broken will be broken! I know! I know! She said now tears coming out of her eyes all of a sudden. Just then she thinks About How Raj was going to say something at the time. Thinking about this right now made her Heartbeat Higher. She said what would he would say? How would I face him? What would I have said? Like No you are not good! She thinks Raj is a great guy he deserves all the love he¡¯s sweet and caring and helping and funny! But she thinks he¡¯s deserves someone better not someone broken like me. Who will maybe never love him. Like he would! And like she said! I don''t even think he would! Love me! Maybe he¡¯s just attracted to me! But she said why would he be attracted to me. Like I''m not even funny nor iam most beautiful girl in the office she thinks Siya much better too in terms of look and everything. Afterall she just joined she¡¯s a newbie. She thinks then I''m not good talker! I''m not the best person! Maybe I''m the worst person to be around afterall my family is with me because I''m there child unless who would really love and care for me! She then thinks Why Am Like this? Why iam broken! This happened That Day! Everything Broke I Broke! I felt I lost everything! Every hope! Everything that is called Love felt silly and disgusted to me after that day! Maybe! Still maybe I survived! Somehow! She thinks. I feel bad even maybe when I wanted to love somebody I don¡¯t think I could ever do now. She feels bad about Raj! But somehow she stops crying and thinks like this has not happened like all of this! Raj stopped but maybe she has to keep a distance from him so he won''t get attract to me alot maybe! She thinks but then she thinks. That I''m just overthinking this! It''s all good and fine! Raj is not that kind of a guy! Her Eyes gets Dry now! Her crying stopped. She takes a deep breath. Then she realises she has work to do tomorrow. Alot of Work. So she then stops thinking everything. Forgets. Just for the moment thinks about the good stuff that happened! Where Raj was there. The poetry she liked! The fun! Of talking in that night long conversation. Somehow she thinks that she only thinking about Raj! Nothing else like Siya or anyone but maybe because this was more memorable she thinks. Anyways just thinking like this she slowy and slowly she falls asleep as well.

And she has already explained everything to her mother about Raj and Riya coming and that they gonna stay here for the whole day. To Her Last Night. Raj and Riya gets comfortable. Raj looks around whole bedroom with his eyes. And Riya on the other hand is preparing her paperwork. Siya then notices That Raj is looking around her bedroom and then she asked Raj. Do You Need Anything? Raj? Raj replied No No I''m Good just looking around the room. Your room is beautiful. Then Riya also looks around alittle. Then she sees a night lamp table where she sees a small doll is kept. Which seems quite old but it has been kept very well maintained. Riya then said Siya what is that doll over there? It''s look so cute. Raj Also Notices The Doll now. Just as Siya sees her doll. She looked terrified and her face went from a bright morning to dark night look. Siya then takes the doll and opens her cupboard keeps the doll inside it. This shocked Riya and Raj. They both look into eachothers eyes for a moment. Then. Siya closes the cupboard. And said oh that''s nothing it was just there. I forgot to keep it inside. But Riya knew there was something about it. Because it was kept very well maintained. She also saw Siya face changing colours. Raj thinks also but not too much as he was not very bothered about it. Then Siya sits again and then They all start working on the project. Without thinking alot because there''s just so much work today that needs to be done. Hours passes. It''s 1pm now. Raj and Riya and Siya all are too focused on there work. Just then Siya¡¯s Mom Open the door of the bedroom. Siya looks up and said Mom we are fine we don¡¯t need anything right now. Then her mom replied and said. Siya it''s 1pm My Child.

    They all sit in a appropriate position for playing The Truth and Dare. Now Siya Asks who will spin the bottle first? Raj said I can if you want! Riya and Siya nods in a Yes. So Here¡¯s it goes Raj spins the bottle for first time¡­ and it¡¯s points back at Raj itself. Siya and Riya starts laughing. Siya said now give yourself a Dare! Raj! Raj replied oh shut up I''m doing it again! So here it goes the bottle for it¡¯s second round of a spin. This time the bottle stops itself at Siya. Now she¡¯s is very nervous what''s going to come. Raj asks Truth or Dare? Then Siya? Looking in Her Eyes Raj asked! Riya also curious. Siya replied TRUTH. Raj then Said Instantly! What¡¯s Your Biggest Fear?? Siya?. Siya is not prepared for this. She''s very nervous now. You can really see her face and judge. She¡¯s not Ready for this. Riya also thinks in her mind (Bang! That¡¯s first question! So hard! I don''t even know what going to come next! She''s also bit afraid now) Siya thinks and thinks! Raj and Riya wait. After a few mins. Before Raj could say anything. Siya replied! She was struggling to speak the words..but then she said. My Biggest Fear is Living The Past or Losing Someone who I Love. As Raj heard it. He¡¯s satisfied with the answer. But Riya gets very bad feeling. Her Past also hits back to her. But she controls herself And Siya is already uncomfortable with this and her past also comes back in her memory that she doesn''t want to even think about. Siya Then Asks that Let''s stop this game. We have much work to do. But Raj said come on it''s just started just a few more. Riya said the same! Let''s stop but Raj started forcing we are doing it come on Siya let''s spin! Siya and Riya looks at eachother. Seeing no other choice. Siya decides to continue the game. Now She Spins the bottle. The Bottle unexpectedly stops spinning and point¡¯s it back to Raj.. Siya Gets Happy! Looks like it''s my day really she laughs. Raj is not ready for this but he said Okay! Okay Let''s do it! So Siya now asked Truth or Dare to Raj?. Raj knows that if he says Truth anything could happen so he goes with Dare! So he said Okay Dare! So Siya thinks alittle and a Bad Dare comes in her mind. She¡¯s so smart. Raj is not expecting this. Siya Now Said Okay Your Dare is To Pretend To Be The Person To Your Right for 5 minutes. On Raj¡¯s Right side it was Riya who was sitting! Raj then said Whatt?? What kind of Dare is it?? He said! Riya is also shocked her mouth fell a bit open! While Raj is very mad about this weird Dare. Siya is enjoying this! Now! Riya said then Raj are you sure you can do this! Raj then said Well I know thing and two about you! Let''s see what can I do! It would have been much better if you would have told me to pretend Like you Siya! Really! Siya laughs at this! Raj then thinks in his mind (pff wish I would given her the same dare rather then the damn Truth!) But anyway Now Raj takes a deep breath! Riya is a bit worried how will Raj will manage! Siya is waiting eagerly and is very excited. Raj then said to Siya before starting he said. I''m only going to pretend and act and not take out voice of girl! Or something! Alright!? Siya said okay! Go ahead now! So Raj again takes another deep breath. Riya smiles alittle she''s also excited to see Raj to pretend like her. Raj then said Hello And Introduced himself as Riya. He tries to make a face like Riya. Who is always smiling and have good confidence in herself. This makes Riya and Siya both laugh alot! Then Raj pretend to be Riya talking to Siya! He said! Oh Mam Yes Yes your work is done here''s your file and I did it! Riya now makes a face and said im not like that. Raj is enjoying it now seeing Riya''s angry face makes him laugh he improvise his act even more now! Siya still laughing! Now Raj starts to Pretend Riya talking to Raj that means himself! Raj said. Oh Raj you are so hard working! And always helping you¡¯re a nice person! And best person to talk to in the office! He kinda praises himself a lot. With this and also acts alot better. Riya agreed with this and said. Well that''s a good act. Now Siya is kinda mad. Hearing this She said! So Raj is best person huh? What am I? Riya then replied no no that his act. I respect and like you both as a person! Then Siya makes a face! Riya thinks she has somehow made Siya mad about her but just then Siya laughs aloud! And said That¡¯s enough Raj stop it. My stomach is hurting. With all this laughing! She said! Riya gets relaxed. And Raj also.. Now Siya said. It''s your turn again Raj! Go ahead! Raj now Spins the bottle and it turn it''s points to Riya Now! Riya Is ready for it somehow rather then others because she knows Dares are fine! But truth will be harder! So Raj asks to Riya! Truth or Dare? Riya replied DARE! Raj gets shocked! Dare? Wow? That''s ambitious. Or I would say Smart Choice! To get away from some Truths! Riya smiles and said I get to choose! Her smile draws Raj into her for a moment! Then just Raj Said Okay Okay! So Your Dare is To Say two honest things about everyone in here! Oh Riya was not really ready for this! She thinks in her mind (oh no! What do I say! I don''t want to upset anyone! But then she thinks I got alot of nice things to say! So I think it be easy! Now she''s ready) so then she takes a deep breath like Raj did before in a way. Which is kinda funny the way she does it. Makes Raj smile alittle! And Siya is also curious what Riya thinks about Her and Raj is very very curious to know! That¡¯s why he asked this. When he got the chance to! He wants to know is it bad or good? Well he knows it''s not gonna to be bad anyway! Riya then Said like it''s not that I know you all from long time or something but still these last days had made me feel only goods things about you both. Firstly I go with Siya. You are my boss and my senior. But I feel you¡¯re more like a best friend to me. And humble and honest. Sometimes you could be angry but You are great your nature is great and you are caring and you¡¯re like teacher to me as well if I''m being honest because of you I could learn so much in work ethics! And the confidence you give me. Is great. There''s nobody better then you to be my boss I think. She just stops then. Her face like she went full Honest but she doesn''t know what will happen and she¡¯s kinda scared as well!. But then we see Siya''s and Raj''s face. We see what''s going through there minds. Siya (in her mind is kinda shocked and startled with this speech of honesty by Riya! She¡¯s blown away! She felt like crying or something but she knows this not the best place to do that but she doesn''t know what else to say now) now we see Raj! He thinks in his mind ( wow that was something. He realises how good it was just now! He¡¯s amazed by her speech and is even more excited and nervous that what will Riya say about him??) Just then Riya asks Siya was this good? I was honest as I could. Like I hope I didn''t said anything that you didn''t like?? Then just what we see is kinda unbelievable but Siya goes and hugs Riya Tightly. This shocks Raj. He said hey hey hey! Looks like someone is highly impressed! Then Siya gets back. Riya is too shocked by this gesture of Siya. Before she could say anything. Siya said there¡¯s nothing better you could have said! I''m flattered by this speech! Riya. I don''t have words to express my happiness. I didn''t knew you think so good for me! I hope so this was not something to impress me! You where honest! Because she thinks in her mind (all the employees hate me so much! Like does anyone even like me? Then she thinks maybe she was trying to impress! She got to carried away by the speech! so much) Well she¡¯s not. A bad person but people around her made her like this what she¡¯s today! And Maybe Her Dark Past! So then Riya Said. No Siya I was honest. I didn''t wanted impress you. I was being fully honest. Seeing her Eyes somehow makes Siya feel she was telling the truth. This makes her so happy before Siya could say anything more. Raj interrupts and said. Hey Hey Hey! That¡¯s enough. My Turn now he acts like a child. I''m getting flattered here too. He¡¯s to excited and nervous. Then Riya thinks I don¡¯t know how could I even express about what i feel about Raj! She thinks. That Day What happened! But she also knows Raj might have some feelings for her as well. She doesn''t want to hurt him. And had to be honest at the same time! Finally She takes a long breath. Longer then what she took last time to say things about Siya! And we see Raj and Siya both somehow very curious. And excited! Riya is also feeling something but she knows she has to say it. Be honest. Then She Said¡­


    (What will Riya say about Raj? What¡¯s going to happen after this? Will it be good or bad? How will there future relation will go after tonight?? This long night at Siya¡¯s house what''s going to happen?? Is This Truth and Dare are only thing that is going to happen? Or something more a Connection or A MOMENT. Is going to happen tonight?)

 Chapter 15 (Embracing The Moon)

    And Then Riya Said I don''t even know where to start or how to even begin. Saying the two words to describe you. As Riya said this Raj''s mouth went a bit open. With shock and disbelief. But he continues to listen as well as Siya. Then Riya said I don¡¯t know when we first met you seemed that distinctive person I don''t want to meet again! But the more we met and got to know eachother I felt like I have known you forever. She said this while smiling. Then she continues but actually we didn''t. So for me it''s very hard to describe you. You are the friend anyone would want I think. You help You make me laugh and also make me think. And I''m being honest here as I was when I was talking about Siya. Honestly I just don¡¯t have enough words to describe you. I don''t think I know you enough to say alot of things but whatever I know about you! You make me feel better and make me laugh and also Motivate me like Siya does. Well I think I said more then two words but this is all I want to say. Just as Riya said this she realises she might have said more then what was needed to be said. She might have gotten too personal with it. Siya''s face went blank. She was shocked with the words. As we see Raj he is turned red. He doesn''t know what to say or where to look. He cannot believe what Riya said! Then Just in a spike of second. Riya said Hey Hey! Next turn! Don''t think too much. It''s Just a Game she said. Then Raj and Siya gets back to normal. Raj wants to think something but just then Siya Said this is enough! I think we should now get back to work! It''s already getting late. She added. Then Riya replies Alright! And Raj couldn''t make. A word. And then they started working again! Without thinking but the whole time Riya was thinking in her head that what she said might have been too much. But they all work because they have a deadline to meet. So nothing more happens untill. 8:30pm when Siya¡¯s Mom knocks on the bedroom door again! For the dinner. This time around there was a silence in the room. They all had there heads thinking about work and the game. So they wash there hands again. And get to the dining table! Finally while eating they started talking again! All of them. So things become normal. And then Siya said while eating. The work is 90% done we just have little bit of more. Like maybe 1hour or so. Of work. Then you all can return to your home. She added. But just then Her Mom insist and asks Raj and Riya to stay tonight at there house. This kinda shocks Raj and Riya. And Siya too and Raj said in a instant response. That''s okay! Aunty we are good! We will be going home. And Siya also said it''s alright mom. But then she forced them. It''s going to be night. It''s not a good time to go back far away at this time. And there¡¯s a extra room as well! And Siya¡¯s room is also too big you all can stay! It''s just until tomorrow morning she said. But Riya said No Aunty it''s alright It¡¯s all safe. You don¡¯t need to worry about it. But she started forcing. Then after sometime. Siya also said like if you want. Stay! I have no problems with it. Then Raj and Riya looks into eachothers eyes for a moment. Then Raj said Alright. Her mom then said Great! I arrange everything you don¡¯t need to worry about anything. She continues to speak and said Also call your parents and let them know you are staying here tonight so they do not worry about you. Raj nods in Yes. And Riya said Yes ofcourse! Aunty. Then they all complete there dinner and Take some rest for around 30mins. Then they go back to the bedroom. And starts working until 10:45pm when finally Raj said IT¡¯S DONE! The work they have gotten is completed within time. Riya also smiles and Siya also said Finally! It''s done. Alright let''s just check for any errors if made. She said. Raj and Riya nods. And they start checking for errors. And they are completely done by 11:15pm. Now Raj keeps his Laptop Aside and Riya and Siya sits Together. And they start talking alittle. Raj said Gosh That was alot of work! He said! Siya Replies Yeah I mean it¡¯s was a whole lot of work we have done in 1day! It''s unbelievable we actually completed it. In time. Riya then said Why You thought we won¡¯t be able to complete it? Intime? Then Siya replied No! I didn''t mean that. Raj then laugh and Riya also smiles. Then Siya said Ok Let''s make the bed! So Riya you going to sleep with me? Okay! And Raj you can take the other room. Raj then nods as a understanding. Because they where so tired. They couldn''t talk much at all. They needed sleep badly. Just before going to bed in the other room. Raj said! Siya your mother''s food was so good! Like I know I''m going to have a good sleep tonight. Siya smiles and they then make up there bed. Raj said Good Night to both them. And They said Good Night back to him. And then they all goto to sleep. Raj then falls asleep. But during midnight his eyes open. Because he was feeling very thirsty. He has a habit drinking some water before sleeping. But he didn''t tonight. So then he wakes up. He goes outside but what he sees shocks him. He sees that Riya is standing at The Balcony Railing. Looking above. To the sky. As Riya heard the sound of door closing behind. Which was Raj. Who closed the door behind of the bedroom. Riya turns around and sees Raj standing. They both look into eachother for a brief moment. Then Riya said Can''t Sleep? Too? But Raj replies No was just feeling very thirsty. Riya replied Oh I just couldn''t sleep. Maybe because you know it''s a different house and. A bed. I don''t know she said smiling. It was surely midnight but Riya''s beauty was such. Even in the night she was shining like the moonlight. Riya then just asked what are you looking at?? Raj then he said oh nothing nothing! Just was thinking something. I grab the water from the kitchen! You need water? He asked. Riya replied. Yeah I''m also feeling abit thirsty. Raj then goes to the kitchen takes out two glass. And fills it with water. Then he go to Balcony. Gives one glass to Riya to drink. And drinks himself. They both finish the water. Then keeps the glass aside. Then Riya again started looking onto stars and the moon in the sky above. Raj looks at her and then looks at the sky. Then looks back again at her And asks Riya what are you looking at? Riya then said oh the stars. I love them and The Beautiful Moon! Oh Then Raj Laughs and Said I Don''t know But When I See You I Forget The Moon. Riya then gets startled as she hears it. Just then Raj realised what he just said during the midnight. Oh he thinks in his mind (Raj You Stupid Man! What where you thinking!! Oh how should I handle this mess now) but then just the sound cames as a suprise. Riya smiles and starts looking again over the sky! She didn''t said anything. Raj then thinks in his mind again (did she didn''t hear me? Or she¡¯s pretending she didn''t?? Whatever it was. Raj was happy it didn''t become a awkward moment) just then Riya asked something which made Raj Kinda Shocked. Riya Said What I said During The Truth and Dare Game about You! What do you think about it? She said while looking at Him. Raj doesn''t know how to respond. But he takes his time. For a minute or so. Then he replied and said You made me feel me special. He said. Riya looks at Him with shocking expression. And He continuous to speak. And said You made me feel special like no one ever did. I didn''t knew that you thought of me something like this at first I was kinda shocked but by the end of it I was happy that you think of me so much. And this makes me so happy and I feel there is someone who really like me for who iam! In real. He added. Then he continuous. And said if I gotten the same chance as you to say two things about You. I don¡¯t know how would I even describe you Riya. The day we met and I saw and till the moment we are here talking. This all feels so special and a bond I don''t know what should I say. Both looking at eachothers eyes. For a moment. Just then Riya starts to feel emotional again. But she controls herself. And then said. I guess we should get back to sleep. Raj then said yeah I guess. We should. They both smile for No Reason as Riya said this. They both think something but Who knows what where they thinking. Riya closes The Balcony Door and adjust the curtains. Raj also helps her. Then as she steps down the balcony and Raj also THE LIGHTS GOES OUT. It''s a very unusual PowerCut. Raj Said What The! Riya said Oh No! Riya Is getting afraid of darkness Riya then said Raj Are You There?? Raj replied I''m right here! Where Riya asks! Raj replied Just At The Left of you! Right here! Here! He said. Then Riya looks at her left. Starts walking abit front. And Raj also walks abit front. Until they feel eachothers Touch of there body! Just then Raj Holds Riya. And said There You Are. Just then Riya''s Legs Slips. She almost falls down but Raj Saves Her And Holds Her. Just then The Lights Comes Back. This is the moment. Raj Is Embracing The Moon Like Beauty Riya. They Both look into eachothers Eyes in Abit shock or disbelief that what is happening. Just then Riya looks away. In shyness. And Raj Pulls Her Back Up. And Pulls Away From Her. Before Raj could say a single word. Riya runs to her room in shyness. Raj doesn''t know what to do! So he doesn''t bother her. And returns back to his Room! Riya closes the door silently so Siya doesn''t wake up. And Her Left Hand is Onto Her Mouth Covering it. And tears coming out of her Eyes. Like it''s raining. She can''t stop crying. Then she thinks in her mind (Why is this happening God? Why Why! Everytime I''m with him. Something happens. I get attracted to him! Why? I can''t love I''m know that iam incapable of loving someone. Then how could I feel something! When I can''t! Why are you Doing this with me. And Breaking me even more. She keeps on crying with her low voice.) Siya is deep asleep so she doesn''t hear her crying.. Riya then Lies down her bed. Keeps crying and thinking in her head about Her Dark Past! And Things Going On. Keeps on crying. Until she¡¯s falls asleep somehow. On the other hand. Raj doesn''t know what to think or even do. So he goes to sleep as he returns to his room and falls asleep.

She walks upfront and controls her emotions and manages up to walk casually and said ¡°Hi Siya!

But why did he leave earlier? What for?


    LAST NIGHT


    As Raj Got Back To His Room He Thinks in his mind (¡°I don''t understand why would she run away? I was just saving her from falling down not like making a romantic moment or something he thinks¡±) but then he said to himself ¡°She''s a shy girl and I don''t know how I would have reacted if the same thing would had happened to me if I was a girl like seriously I would also run way but he also thinks then Unless if it was Siya she would have just got up and said good night like nothing happened so there are exceptions he thinks and laughs about it¡± but somehow inside he also felt that moment when his eyes and her eyes met that moment he felt something that is unexplainable in words it was a feeling he knows that inside but he doesn''t think that much about it because he had to save her no matter what at that moment and he did as well. Anyways after this He walks up to his bed then lays down but as he lays down he realizes he forgot to call his mother to tell her that he would be staying tonight at Siya''s home for work and return back tomorrow morning, he then checked his phone near his bedside to call his mom but then he sees the time on the screen it was 2am and he also sees that there are no missed calls so then he thinks it¡¯s better not to call at this time to disturb his parents who are sleeping and also he doesn''t have any missed calls so they might not be worried much because before also many times he had stayed in the office till late night to work overtime to get some extra money and recognition in his office which kinda helped him to become one of the candidates in the promotion, So He Puts his phone back and slowly falls asleep.


    THE PRESENT


    Raj is going back home in a cab, he left earlier because he was out whole night and his dad never liked that he¡¯s working overtime for the company he would often get angry over that he is compromising his sleep and making his body sick for the sake of a mere promotion which he can also get by working hard in the morning but what he didn''t understand which raj did was that in today''s modern world you have to overdue to fulfill people''s expectations over anything unlike before when it was easier and people were way better then they are now with this fast paced life and technology and very tough competition to stay in the race. Almost 11am, Raj arrives outside his residential apartment then he paid the cab driver and got off the car and took the elevator and got off the elevator and rang the bell of his flat awaiting for someone to open, to his surprise his sister opened the door which is unlikely most of time her mom would open it as her sister is very lazy but anyway raj didn''t think much and goes inside without seeing the look on his sister face which actually indicated something is wrong.


    BACK IN SIYA''s APARTMENT


    After Having The Breakfast Riya prepared herself to get back home because today she had much to do and arrange for the surprise dinner party so she quickly booked a cab on her phone and went out and a few minutes later a cab arrives and she gets in and as she got in she gets a phone call on her phone, she looks on the screen and a name flashes it was her brother Ishan who was calling so she picks up the call and said ¡°Hello?¡± her brother said from the other side ¡°Hello Riya! As we planned I booked a reservation at a very nice restaurant in the city all is set but there''s a small issue!¡± He said and Riya replied ¡°What is the problem Ishan? Tell me!¡± Ishan then said ¡°I mean everything is set and well but what are we going to say to them? Like you''re coming for what? We cannot say we are taking you to a restaurant unless it won''t be a surprise! anymore¡± he said and Riya replied ¡°Yeah that''s true let me think about this I call you back or I tell when I get back home! I''m actually in a cab I will be in there within 2hours I think and also which restaurant did you book for dinner today? It must be nice! Okay? She said while giggling a little¡± Ishan then said ¡°oh nice you''re coming? Alright I will tell you the name of restaurant when you get here and yes I also have a little surprise for you too! After all! You''re finally getting a good job! My job is surely to give my sister A Nice Meal Treat¡± he said and Riya replied ¡°Hey! No I said before that I''m giving this treat! You cannot take that away from me! And which restaurant is it? Tell me now!¡± But then as she said the call is hung up by her brother and she then looked on the screen in a shock and said to herself ¡°uh Ishan!! I will see it to you! But she is also very excited too! She then did call Ishan 2 times again but Ishan did not pick up her phone so she then kept her phone aside and thought I will talk to him as I get home within a few hours.


    BACK IN RAJ''S HOUSE


    As Raj got inside he saw his dad sitting on the sofa with angry expression and his mother standing near the sofa then he said to his mother ¡°Mom I''m very hungry can you please make something quickly? I''ll go and freshen up until then¡± before his mother could reply his dad said in angry tone and said ¡°Look Who''s Back! The Prince of our family Mr Raj he said and continued to speak don''t you think? You should have informed us last night? That you will come home late we were so tense we even called 20 times last night and you''re so careless you didn''t even give a message back or called us back again! What do you think of yourself?¡± He got up from the sofa in anger looking at Raj. Hearing this Raj gets shocked he didn''t knew how to react or reply and he also thought that my phone didn''t even ring once yesterday! So that''s why he didn''t call back but before he could say anything his dad started speaking again and said ¡°Oh Raj I''m sick of you now like you''re so careless how could you be? Don''t you care about us! You should inform us least we waited till night for you but after sometime we realized that you were at work for sure so we then we slept you could have least informed us he said¡± Raj finally speaks and said ¡°Dad i didn''t got your calls there must have been some issues with the network or my phone¡± he then showed his phone to his dad and mom and he was right there was no missed calls at all and then he said ¡°and the reason I didn''t tell you is because I forgot about it because of my work and by the time I remembered it was already too late at night and I also saw that there were no missed calls from you so i thought everything is fine because I have done overtime before too! And I''m sorry but it not my fault he said¡± his dad got even more angry and said ¡°what''s the point? Of working hard? I mean who are you even working for only for yourself? like honestly I have made enough that me and your mom could live our old and happy life till the end without any issues and paid for yours and your sister education and all your needs but when I was earning I was earning for my family and who are you earning for? You are not even married!¡± He said these harsh words his mom told his dad to stop as he was going too far but looks like today his anger was over the sky no one is able to control it then Raj said in anger tone as well ¡°Oh YES! I''m not married maybe I''m selfish also and yes I''m earning only for myself so what if I hadn''t married i can live the life the way I want! And you told me you will find a suitable girl? For me Right? so go and find one and make me marry then! It is always this marriage marriage and marriage! I''m tired of this crap! All day you talk about this like always i come from a stressful day but there''s no peace here, why can''t we live like a normal family for once like before?¡±. The Argument is going to so intense but just then his sister pihu said ¡°STOP! Both of You! Dad and Raj! What''s wrong! Stop it please! Tears in her eyes and she continues to speak we are a normal family Raj! and dad please don''t force raj you know how much he has done for us hasn''t he! You are so proud of your son! When he graduated you were the most happy person i remember that moment and mom was too! Why is everything like this now! and Yes my brother is not married but he¡¯s the person i known! Least till now! He ready for marriage he just needs to find the right one! He isn''t wrong! he needs someone who understands him and loves him! he cannot just go and marry anyone! Will he be happy? You think? that''s what you want? that my brother stays sad for rest of his life just because you forced him to marry? Just anyone she said¡± his dad In utter shock after hearing Raj and Pihu words he sits on the sofa again and the whole hall goes silent for a minute until his dad speaks up and said ¡°I lost myself i just can''t see you like this! tears in his eyes he then broke down and said you''re working like so much! For what Raj! It breaks my heart everytime you know? When I see you coming late at night or doing overtime in your work just to get a mere promotion and some money and not seeing you happy because I know you''re not inside! I want you to be happy! I just don''t know how! I only think this as the way! You need someone My son! You do! Someone as Pihu said who understands you and loves you and supports you! Just like us! He said¡± tears coming out of his eyes then raj came closer and kept his hand onto his dad''s shoulder and said ¡°dad i understand and I have already told you just find a good girl for me! I will marry her i will! He said with eyes with tears too.¡± He then thought in his mind (¡°if this makes my family happy for once and all I will do anything to make them happy i will marry any girl now when they bring a proposal to me¡±) his dad then looked at Raj¡¯s face with a overjoyed expression and said ¡°Really Raj? Then he stood up and said I''m very happy and me your mom will arrange a good arranged marriage proposal for you very soon!¡± Then raj without saying anything else went inside his room! Pihu who was seeing all of this knew what was going on in his brother''s head he just said yes to keep dad and mom happy. She then went to his brother room to talk to him, she opened the door and shut it slowly but raj knew even though he didn''t look back that it was his sister he was sitting on his desk and said ¡°Pihu not now please¡± but pihu said ¡°Raj do you think I''m a fool? I know what you said there wasn''t from your heart! but I also sometimes don''t understand really why do you don''t want marry! What''s the problem¡± raj became angry and said ¡°you think I don''t want marry? I don''t have my needs as a man? I don''t like girls? Wrong! I want marry and I want to do everything but my first and my foremost goal is to become something, become successful first then marry, you know that too! Don''t you?¡± He said looking into his sister''s eyes. His sister understood everything but before she could say anything raj said ¡°whatever makes them happy I''m going to do it now I''m just tired of this all day and seeing them like this also makes me very sad he thought that''s why I''m going marry just anyone now¡± he said with sad face and few tears falling from his eyes then his sister came closer and said ¡°brother i know everything it''s alright you don''t need take everything on you! This time I think they should give you some space but they are also not completely wrong they want see there young son get married before he''s too old right? I know you will be successful one day! I know that too but maybe that will take 5-10years from now? Or some time so by then you will be old to marry someone this is right time and they are also right in a way and I''m on both sides supporting points from each side!¡± She said and Raj replied ¡°I just don''t know what should I do so i said what was needed to say at that moment I felt¡± then pihu said ¡°oh let''s forget everything this getting way too much for even me to handle let''s just get out somewhere and have fun! Come on its been awhile you and me? And some of my friends then raj said ¡°are you crazy? Me and your friends! Look at your age young sister like I be old one to be in your party with God knows what kind friends you got he said while smiling and making a face¡± then she replied ¡°Raj they are not that bad too! And surely they won''t mind! Trust me it be so much fun and you need it! You can''t refuse your little sister you know that right?¡± She said, while Raj really didn''t wanted to go but in his mind he knew he needed it after so much stress past sometime and all these family drama he needed a break so then he said ¡°alright I''m coming so when''s the party?¡± He asked and Pihu replied with excitement ¡°Oh Great! And yes the party is tonight around 8:30 if I remember! I''m gonna text them to book extra seat now that you''re coming! Don''t worry it be fun trust me¡± she said and then raj thought in his mind for a moment (¡°God knows what kind of friends will she have and how I look in front of them but yeah I''ll just enjoy myself so it be not that bad then he thought to himself¡±) and he also have faith in his sister that she arrange something good for him and he loved his little sister very much and she did too! No matter what happens Raj always supported pihu and takes good care of her like a big brother should and his sister also does the same! The love between them is amazing.

    BACK IN RIYA''S APARTMENT


    Riya rang the bell of her house as she already informed her brother last night that she will come in the morning because of work there was nothing wrong here and her perents supported her alot so her mother opened the door and riya got inside and her mother closed the door. She was looking for her brother but could not see him so she thought he''d be in his room so she got inside her room and kept things aside and then took a nice bath and came outside her room and her dad was not at home he was outside for some work and her mother is in the kitchen doing something so she then knocked on Ishan¡¯s room and a voice came from inside ¡°Come In¡± so she got inside and his brother was laying down on his bed and got up on the bed as she came in and he said ¡°finally you''re here! I got so much to show you and tell you¡± he said and Riya replied ¡°finally! Tell me now what restaurant have you booked and you said about a surprise? What is it?¡± She said and Ishan then replied with excitement expression on his face ¡°I have booked the Skyrise Hotel''s famous restaurant the Jauba restaurant! For our epic dinner tonight¡± this made Riya shocked! It is one of the most luxurious hotel in the city and restaurant itself is one of it''s kind in the city, the food there is just fantastic and so is the price. Riya then said ¡°What?? How did you booked Skyrise hotel? I mean it''s so expensive and isn''t too expensive as well to book it? I mean we could have gone to somewhere else I''m not saying too cheap but least some medium enough you directly booked the best in the city do you know the prices of dishes there?¡± She said with happy yet shocking expression like she was happy to hear that her brother had booked the best restaurant in the city to treat our perents but at same time the prices where also too expensive and it was not like they could not afford it her family was Rich enough to go there have a meal once or twice in year but the thing was that she was treating all of them with her own money and this would be very expensive for her and she didn''t wanted ask her dad and mom to pay! Then a reply came from Ishan ¡°my sister stop stop you didn''t listen to me completely and yes i have booked the Skyrise Hotel''s famous restaurant Jauba but there is big anniversary of the restaurant going on they have a first time live unlimited all you can eat buffet over there so price are cheap enough to go and the food is same they serve this event will go on till 7days. You just have to book 4 tickets online to get entry and the ticket price includes the buffet itself+a life musical show which will happen tonight! The ticket is bit more expensive for that experience but it''s a experience that we should get and I have already booked 4 tickets for us¡± as Riya heard this she is overjoyed and a huge smile came on her cute face and she said ¡°Really? Really! You booked it already? And it is that cheap? I can''t believe this Ishan! This is really a big surprise that you give me! A musical experience! That would be so much fun! I can''t wait¡± as she said, Ishan said something ¡°Wait it''s not over i also thought how are we going take mom and dad to surprise dinner party¡± as Riya heard she said ¡°How? Tell me.¡± Ishan replied ¡°We Gonna Tell Them that there''s a office party at a big restaurant by your company as they have gotten a new order or we could even say because of recent good profits the company made something like that? Then we could take them there and surprise both of them! What do you think?¡± Riya then replied ¡°Yeah that''s a great idea but i would say to mom and dad that there''s a surprise for you two today from me and Ishan.¡± Ishan then replied ¡°WHAT? Why this we could say the above thing also why even say the word surprise!.¡± But then she said ¡°I mean we could say that but i think because of the musical event and the restaurant you have booked I think these words would work this would be the best suprise for both of them.¡± then Ishan said ¡°As you wish! My sister! Let''s do it! We have to get going soon! The Skyrise hotel is not that near and i don''t wanna miss a single moment for that musical performance I''m sure it would be epic.¡± Riya then replied ¡°Indeed it would be I can''t wait too and Ishan thank you so much for doing this I mean even though I''m paying for this i could not never done this kind of arrangement that you have done thank so much!.¡± Ishan then said ¡°Oh Come there''s nothing like thank you in brother or sister and also I know you would also done the same restaurant and arrangements like I have done, I''m aware you''re not that of internet girl but still you know alot and I''m sure you would have certainly would had found about this if you were arranging the hotel but i guess I''m best in that job like i have done before he said then and winked¡± Riya then said ¡°Indeed You are! The best when it comes to booking venue''s or finding a place to hangout or restaurant to eat in.¡±


    BACK IN RAJ APARTMENT


    Pihu Calls Her friends and tells them about raj joining as well. Raj thought least some of them will object him coming to the party as he¡¯s much older then his sister but to his surprise nobody objected his coming to the party and they all are happily welcomed him and pihu hangs up the calls and said ¡°Get ready brother we will have to leave soon within 30mins, We will be going to the grand Skyrise hotel for a dinner buffet and a live Musical performance.¡± Raj then replied ¡°Okay that''s perfect i will be ready within 15 minutes.¡± Raj knew and heard about the Skyrise hotel he knew that it is one of the most expensive and famous hotels of Mumbai he also knew that his family had money but not that much that they would go to 5stars hotel to eat often but he also knew that his sister had friends who are quite Rich and also when he heard the word buffet he thought to himself (¡°buffets would not be that expensive and even if it is expensive i will pay for it least for myself because I know my sister entry into the buffet will already be free.¡± So he is already prepared to pay for himself if required because he had enough money to go there and so does his family but they not as rich as Riya that they would go there often and spend there money for this they would rather save it more and spend it a bit more wisely unlike Riya''s family who is a little better off then Raj''s family interms of wealth because Riya''s brother also makes a good amount of money and her dad ofcourse is quite rich.
