After a few hours of shopping, the team was sitting at Riya's place. It was the first time when the girls had come here but they were in love with the house instantly. It was clean and tidy and also had beautiful decors. They still didn't know why Rathod had insisted on coming here but they also didn't dwell on it much. Riya along with Aayesha and Liza was in the Kitchen while Sakshi had ran towards the balcony after seeing it from outside.

Sakshi loved colours and Riya's balcony had them all. There were beautiful plants and flowers and wines grown around along with a cute swing at one corner while a table for two was kept at the other end. She sat on the swing enjoying the cool breeze. Riya wasn't bad maybe. They just hadn't got to know each other just yet. Today after talking to her in the shopping mall, she could definitely feel why the ETF boys were so into her. She had that charisma. But Sakshi's decision about not liking Riya wasn't just because she was given special treatment, but it also had something to do with the certain second-in-command. Sakshi had worked with Arjun long enough to know the guy's mood. Yet Riya could read him like no other. Sakshi had liked Arjun since the very first day she entered in ETF. His intelligence along with his attitude made her fall for him. But as Riya entered the team, everything changed. She had seen the second-in-command looking out for her. And it hurt her. She had asked about it to Shree and Chotu and their answers did not help her either. She was told that they were always like that. Far yet too close. Their eyes always talked. When Arjun had wished Sakshi on her birthday, she was sure that he too felt something for her. After all, ACP Arjun Suryakant Rawte doesn't goes on wishing every other person. But then, his attitude with Riya made her feel sad. She didn't liked it. It was better without Riya. She was sure Arjun would fall for her but he just needed a push.

After having the lunch, Rathod signalled towards Arjun to start the work they were all here for. Arjun was a bit uncomfortable. How does one tells about his marriage to people with whom he had been working since last 3 years. Riya sat in a corner, fidgeting with the ring in her hand. The ring. The only thing that showed she was married. But the girls didn't questioned her. And she was thankful for the same. She remembered how Arjun had asked her to pick whatever she wants and send him the bill. That was how she had got her wedding ring.

Shree: So, Riya tu kuch keh rahi thi na.

Riya looked shocked at the sudden attention she got. She glared at Shree while he hid his laugh.

Riya: Mai ye pooch rhi thi ki mai ice cream lau? I have some in there.

Sakshi: Of course. Ice cream ko na nahi kehte Riya.

Riya: Yes. The rule says so.

The girla chuckled among themselves while the boys were busy staring at Arjun.

Riya: Mai laati hu.

Riya brought the ice creams for everyone. Vanilla for Arjun. Sakshi noticed. She had not once seen Arjun having ice cream let alone Vanilla flavour.

Sakshi: Riya, Arjun ice cream nahi khata. At least maine to nahi dekha hai use khate hue.

Rathod: Sakshi tumne kai cheeze nahi dekhi hai but vo hai. Vaise hi Arjun bhi ice cream khata hai aur Vanilla hi khata hai.

Rathod's words confused the three girls further. They hadn't seen their chief talking so casually with the second-in-command ever. Instead, they looked as if they would kill each other any second if left alone. And here he was talking as if they were long lost friends.
