Parakram, Deolali
"Karan sir, hum log nikal sakte hai?" Sid G asked politely. "Naa tum dono humaye saath jaa sakto hai-"
"Teeno Sanju, vo Koel bhi hai." Koel also smiled at them. "Han toh tum teeno humaye saath chal sakto hai, hum log Mumbai jaa rahe hai apne kaam se. Tumhe vapas aate vakt bhi hum le ayenge."
"Wow Sanju, that's great. Long drive." Sid G said excitedly. "Siddharth, tum Sanju ke saath uski bike parr chalo, hum chaaron jeep me join karte hai." Sanjana saluted and they both went outside. The other 4 reached the jeep and Faizi occupied the seat behind with Koel and smiled and Monami who couldn't deny him and sat with Karan.
They all drove towards Mumbai, Sid-Sanjana and Faizi-Koel were enjoying their couple time and being their friends, Monami and Karan had to adjust. By now, Monami had realized her feelings for Karan but didn't propose him. Karan was fond of her, but didn't know what the feeling was.
Coffee Bloom, Mumbai
"Jaa rahe hai hum." A woman in 50s said as Tejasswi sat in front of her. "Meri baat..." The couple sitting in front of her shook their head. "Hum log abhi nikal rahe hai Pune ke liye. Tum jab tak hamari baat nahi maan leti, tab tak humse kisi bhi cheez ki umeed mat rakhna." Tejasswi nodded with tears. "Aai, baba, aap jo chahte hai mai vo nahi kar sakti." The couple nodded sternly. "Jab tak tumhe iss cheez ka solution naa mile, hume Pune me contact karne ke koshish mat karna." Tejasswi looked at them pleading but they didn't budge from their look. "Please aai..."
"Hum jaante hai jo tu karr rahi hai vo sahi hai, parr beta jab sabko yeh baat pata chalegi toh..." Tejasswi looked at her mother in shock. "Aai aap sabki fikar karr rahi hai?"
"Teja, dekh, yeh baat tu bhi acche se jaanti hai ki hum 5 saal se teri baat maan rahe hai, parr ab tujhe shaadi karni chahiye, aur ek aisa ladka dhundhna chahiye jo teri harr cheez se pyaar kare."
"Mai jaanti hoon vo kon hai, vahi ek hai mere liye." Tejasswi thought but couldn't speak the same. "Neetu!" They heard someone say. It was Suneeta and SP Kundrra. "Sunee, kaisi ho!" Neetu hugged Suneeta lovingly. SP and Prakash also hugged. "Yeh meri beti, Tejasswi." Tejasswi touched their feet. "God bless you bacche." SP blessed her affectionately.
"Tum log toh Pune me?"
"Teja acting ke liye yaha shift ho rahi hai na. Hum bass use drop karne aaye the." Suneeta and SP nodded. They sat together to have some lunch and Tejasswi bonded well with Suneeta and SP. For SP, she was like his own daughter. "Uncle aunty aap log kitne cute ho yaar!" Tejasswi giggled with them and Suneeta chuckled. "Tu humse zyada cute hai."
"Mera beta bhi actor hai Neetu!" Neetu nodded and Suneeta turned when she heard Karan.
"Yeh lo aa gya!" That's when Tejasswi closed her eyes. "Nahi deva nahi, yeh yaha kaise?!" She muttered in her thoughts. "Karan! Beta yeh hai hamare purani aur khaas dost, Neetu aur Prakash Wayangangkar." Karan touched their feet, by then Tejasswi turned on the opposite side and was looking at her phone. "Teju! Beta yeh hai Tejasswi, actor hai teri tarah!" They both looked at each other and Karan got shocked seeing her.
"Tejasswi, yaha kaise?" He could think of no answer. "Chalo Sunee, humari flight hai, hum log nikal rahe hai. Aur Tejasswi ke kuch dost bhi aane wale hai, yeh bhi chalegi."
"Tum hamare ghar aa rahi ho jaldi Teju!" Tejasswi smiled and Suneeta and SP hugged her. "Chalo Prakash, hum log bhi nikal hi rahe hai." Tejasswi followed them quietly but Karan pulled her back. "Kya karr rahi hai tu yaha?"
"Karan, lagg rahi hai chordh!" Tejasswi flinched. "Kyu aayi hai Tejasswi tu? Kyu aayi hai?" Tejasswi already had tears in her eyes. "Sun... Karan, mai yaha aai baba ke saath aayi thi. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki parents friends niklenge!" Tejasswi was innocent and even Karan could feel it. "Mujhe jaana hai Karan!" He left her hand as he broke the eye lock and she left hurriedly. She reached her apartment and she got a call from Monami.
"Teju! Baby address bhej de!" Tejasswi cut the call and texted her. Soon, Monami and Sid G reached there. "Teju!!! Long time!" Sid G shouted and Tejasswi chuckled. "Very funny!"
"Meet her, she's Koel. Our best friend." Tejasswi smiled. "Hello Koel!" Koel replied back and they went inside.
"Tu tension me kyu hai?" Tejasswi looked at Monami, she always guessed that. "Long story." They sat down inside when Tejasswi went inside to give them a shock.

"Ishi, vo meri life me vapas nahi!" Karan could not bear Tejasswi back in his life. He has started trusting people after so long. "Kon aaya hai life me vapas, kuch toh bolo."
"Ahaan!" Ishqi knew he needed him. Ishqi quickly dialed Ahaan's number from Karan's phone. "Han bhai?" Ahaan picked up. "Hello, hi kuch bolna nahi aata aapko?"
"Tumhare paas Karan ka phone kya kar raha hai?" Ishqi knew it was not the time to fight. "Dekhiye, aap yaha Marine Drive aa jayiye. Karan ko aapki zaroorat hai." Ahaan replied a yes and quickly reached there.

"So this is how it goes." Jia finished and all clients praised her. "I would love if you all join us for some drinks tonight." Jia didn't feel nice with the gaze of one of the team mates.
"No, it is a professional deal, let's keep it the same." Jia smiled at him. He was too good for Jia not to like him. "Siddharth is a gem." She thought with a smile. "Sure!" The client gave a loosing smile and all the team left. "Thank you!" He smiled at her and they continued their work.
