Veer goes to breakfast alone, partly because he had gone on a ride early in the morning and partly because he got word from the main residence that Anwar had arrived all of a sudden.
Veer was expecting his cousins, as their arrival at Shrigar had reached them and Nayantara had especially phoned over to ask, no make it demand, or threaten, to be hosted over. If Anwar was also there, it would automatically add to the party because Anwar seldom travelled alone.
Veer dismounts unhurriedly and then his eyes catches Amrit hurrying over towards the backyard. Distractedly he hands off the reins to a stable hand.
Shaan nudges at him, before being led away but Veer has no eyes for him. Instead he is watching Randheer following closely after his wife. His brows frown.
So that idiot knows this secret too? And Amrit has told him? Or is this secret associated to Randheer?
"Kiss ka kathal karne ka irada hai Kuwar sahab?" Anwar joins him, and tries to follow the direction of his gaze.
Amrit is already gone there is nothing to be seen.
"Veer? Do you realize you look downright murderous? I brought over Amrit's interviewee. But if you meet her looking like that woh bechari bag jaayengi."
"I'm not supposed to meet her anyway," Veer tells him and then with efforts drags his eyes away.
"And why did you bring her?"
Anwar looks a little taken aback.
"Kissi aur kaam se as raha tha. Thought I could help her along the way. Why? Am I not allowed in your bubble?"
" Have there ever been a bubble that doesn't include you? Chaliye, nawabzade sahab, aap ke khatirdari karte hai." Veer says clapping him on his back and Anwar smiles, despite the worry colouring his eyes.
"Humse ek galati hogaya Kuwar sahab," he confesses to his friend now. "Now that I want to make amends, woh mil nahi rahi."
"Kaun?"
"Hai ek, jo shaayad mere kismat mein nahi thi."
Veer allows Anwar to keep his secret, having talked with Amrit the night before he has a very good idea what might have happened with Anwar's misplaced feelings.
It scares him, to think that love as true as Anwar's could be rejected and for right reasons.
A disquietness builds within him. He wishes to file it way for the time being but then, fates have other things in mind and Dai Ma is waiting for them at the dining hall.
