Will she start hating Khushi once again? Will it break the beautiful friendship that was formed between these two girls who were poles apart in everything.

Maybe it is better if she came to know from him, rather than anyone else. He opened his mouth to speak, but he was startled when someone opened the door and barged into his cabin.

“What the..”

Who dared to barge into his cabin without even knocking.

ASR with laser eyes, looked towards the cabin door direction and was shocked to see his brother in law, Shyam Manohar Jha.

“Jeeja ji? What a surprise” Arnav smiled, seeing his brother-in-law after such a long time.

“Saale saab, how are you doing?” Shyam asked.

Lavanya excused herself from there, leaving the brothers in law to catch up.

“All good jeeja ji. When did you reach? Di didn’t mention anything about it. How was your official trip?” Arnav asked.

“Your di didn’t mention it because she didn’t know. I wanted to give her a surprise.” Shyam said with a smirk and Arnav smiled.

“Cool”

“And about the trip, it wasn’t entirely official. I had some personal matters to deal with too” Shyam said, adopting a sad look on his face.

“Personal matters?” Arnav asked with a frown. His brother in law was an orphan. He had no relatives. And having put all his focus on studies and career, he didn’t even bother to make friends. So, what personal matter could he have, Arnav thought in confusion.

“You know my family was from Kanpur. I wanted to buy some land there in Rani Sahiba’s name. I wanted to build a home for her in my birthplace” Shyam said and Arnav smiled once again.

“That’s a good thought,” Arnav said.

“Not everything we wish for comes true, saale saab” Shyam said with an exaggerated sigh.

“What happened, jeeja ji?” Arnav asked.

“When I first started my career, there was a man who helped campaign clients for me. He contacted me yesterday, saying that his daughter is in need of some urgent surgery and asked if I could help him with some money. I didn’t think twice. I transferred the money I kept for the land deal to him. I am just disappointed that I couldn’t keep my promise to Rani Sahiba. I shouldn’t have mentioned this to Rani Sahiba until it is all done with. I am just so bad at keeping things from Rani Sahiba” Shyam, who was a better actor than a lawyer, did a wonderful performance in front of Arnav.

“Uh oh. Don’t disappoint di, jeeja ji. I will transfer the money right away. Don’t delay the deal” Arnav said.

“Oh no no Chotte. That’s alright. Rani Sahiba will understand. You don’t bother” Shyam said, adopting an innocent face.

“I know she will understand. But let it happen. You two must have been looking forward to it” Arnav said and Shyam expertly hid his victorious smirk behind an innocent smile.

“Thank you, saale saab. I will transfer the money back to you as soon as possible” Shyam threw an empty promise and Arnav simply waved it off.

Meanwhile in AR, Advaith Kapoor had come to discuss some things regarding their merger with Aman.

“Hello, Aman” Advaith greeted.

“Advaith, I have been waiting for you. You haven’t met our team manager yet, right?” Aman asked and Advaith nodded in no.

“Come, let me introduce you to her” Aman said and took Advaith to Lavanya’s cabin.

“Lavanya, this is Advaith Kapoor. D-fab’s regional manager” Aman said and both Advaith and Lavanya recognised each other quickly.

“Kushi’s friend, right? I didn’t know you were from D-fab” Lavanya said with a smile as she extended her hand towards Advaith.

Advaith felt his heart skip a beat, when he saw those beautiful dimples when she smiled at him.

He shook his head and gave her his hand for a friendly shake.

Aman let them get introduced to each other in a better way.

“Will meet in ASR’s cabin in ten minutes” Aman said and left them.

Ten minutes later, Advaith and Lavanya came out of her cabin and met Aman on the way. Together they three walked towards ASR’s cabin.

As they reached the cabin, the door was opened from inside and Shyam Manohar Jha came out.

Lavanya and Aman smiled seeing him, but Advaith frowned. He felt like he had seen that man somewhere.

“Advaith, this is Shyam Manohar Jha. Shyam ji is married to ASR’s sister” Aman introduced Shyam to Advaith.

Shyam…

That name too strikes familiar, as does his face.

“I am a little busy. It was nice meeting you” Shyam excused himself and left from there immediately, as the agenda behind his arrival was already met.

All through the meeting, Advi couldn’t concentrate. He was trying to figure out where he had seen the man before.

“Mr Kapoor, we can have a tour of your office this evening. By six” Arnav said.

“I am sorry, ASR. I am off duty after five today. I have to visit the temple. There is some puja in my family today” Advaith said and Arnav’s fingers clenched into a fist as he heard that.

He very well knew where the puja must be. In the temple near the banyan tree. Where Khushi and her family would be.

“Right. I forgot about it. I will also be off work after five today” Arnav said. He had planned to reach the temple by the time the puja starts, which would be after the moon appears. But since Advaith would be there from five in the evening, there is no way he will be delayed.

Aman stared at ASR in disbelief.

The slave driver, who should be pushed out of the office after nine at night, is going out after five?

What all is left to see!!

At sharp five, Arnav walked into his brother’s cabin.

“Akash, you coming?” Arnav asked and his brother looked at him in shock.

“Where?”

“To the temple…” Arnav said and Akash sprang up from his chair.

“Ofcourse” Akash said and hurried out with his brother.

Aman watched as the brothers walked out, with a lost look on his face..
