5 hours later Rajveer was sitting in his hotel room. The boys had pestered him about what he said to Soumya ever since they got back, but he refused to say. He didn't want Vani to give him a huge lecture which meant telling Aryan was a no. Those two couldn't keep secrets from each other at all. If you tell one, the other would know within the hour. And Naman was a big mouth, telling him meant the news would travel to Ishi for sure, and that he'd be in trouble for bothering her best friend.

There was still time till dinner, so all 4 of them were lounging around the suite with nothing to do. Veer and Aryan were sitting with their laptops getting some pending work done. They'd been putting it aside due to Adi's strict instructions. He clearly stated that this was almost like a vacation and he didn't want to see his friends immersed in work at his wedding, which was understandable.

" Aree tum dono phir se shuru ho gaya, kabhi tu kam band kar liya karo please. " Vani exclaimed. ( Oh comone you two started working again, you could at least stop once in a while. )

" Shivi mene mere laptop ko 2 din se haath nahi lagaya hai, and you know, agar important nahi hota to mai nahi karta. " Aryan explained. ( Shivi I haven't touched my laptop in 2 days and you know that if it wasn't important I wouldn't be doing it. )

" Tik hai tum kar lo, par Veer yaar come on. " Shivani exclaimed, trying to grab his laptop. ( Ok fine, you can work, but Veer come on. )

" Vani, yeh important hai, tum bhi janti ho ki woh Mehra wali deal haath se nikal gayi hamare. Usse pehle hi hamare bahot loss hua hai aur main nahi chahta ki yeh designs mein koi problem aaye. " he exclaimed, taking his laptop back. ( Vani this is important, even you know we lost the Mehra deal. That caused a lot of loss so I just wanna make sure nothing goes wrong with these designs. )

About a month ago Mr Ashish Mehra had approached them with a deal. He wanted them to design the clothing for his daughter's wedding. He was very clear on the fact that he was talking to other designers as well, and he picks the best of the best. Veer just didn't know that he was talking about the Kapoors. They snatched that deal from right under their noses. He was definitely less bitter about it now, considering he'd gotten to know Soumya.

" Aree yaar phir wahi baat. Tum Mehra deal ke baare mein abhi bhi gussa ho. " She exclaimed. ( Oh come on, not this again. Your still mad about the Mehra thing. )

" Pehle tha, ab nahi hai. " Aryan told her. " Ab isse Somuta jo mil gayi hai. " ( He was before, not anymore now that he's met Soumya. )

Shivani looked confused. " Matlab. " ( meaning )

" Matlab ki jabse usse pata chala hai ki woh deal Soumya ki waja se gayi hai toh usse fark hi nahi padta hai. " Aryan continued. Rajveer glared at him. How did Aryan know about Soumay's identity? ( Meaning that ever since he found out that they lost the deal because of Soumya he doesn't care anymore. )

" Wait, iska matlab Soumya ASA meh kam karti hai. " Vani asked. ( Wait does that mean Soumya works at ASA. )

" Nahi. " Rajveer replied. " Woh Ayaan ki behan hai. " ( No, she's Ayaan's sister. )

" What! " Vani exclaimed. " Seriously. "

Rajveer nodded glumly. Aryan didn't look undeterred, as if he'd already known the information before. Weird, he didn't remember telling him.

" Aur tum usse pasand karte ho! Are you crazy, Ayaan tumhe chode ga nahi Veer. " ( And you like her! Ayaan will not let you live. )

" Mujhe pata ok. Ishi liye maine usse yeh tak nahi batasya hai ki mera naam Veer nahi Rajveer Roy hai. " He snapped. ( I know ok, that's exactly why i haven't even told her that my name is Veer, but Rajveer Roy. )
