Finally, it's evening, and Teju's art exhibition has come to an end. She moves towards Karan, who is busy capturing moments with his camera. As she approaches, he turns around, immediately capturing her image, and she responds with a smile...
Karan- Done with the day, Little One?
Teju- Karan! I'm not little...
She pouts, and he playfully pulls her cheeks, making her blush...Teju- I'm sorry, I may have made the whole day boring for you...
Karan- Come on, this is a new experience, a new world. I never knew that a single painting could hold such depth of meaning. Today, I witnessed incredible talents. Don't be...
Teju- This is nothing.. there's much more to it. I'll show you some other time..
Karan- Done, Shall we go to beach??
Teju- perfect time.. Come on..
Exiting the venue, they pause at the exit...Karan- If you don't mind, can we take my car, please?
Teju smiles and nods. He asks her to wait, brings the car closer, and opens the passenger seat for her. She sits inside, and he joins her...
Karan- I'm sorry for taking your out in this small car.. just few minutes!!
Teju- There's no small or big, Karan, in anything we do in our lives. This is a good car, and, most importantly, the person I'm traveling with matters. I genuinely like this car! Trust me...
Karan smiles at her generosity and continues to drive...
Karan- Can I ask you something?
Teju- yess...
Karan- It's been five years I've been working in your dad's company, but I've never seen you there. How is that possible? I mean, I've never seen you come to the office and meet your dad...
Teju- Huh.. Firstly, it's not my office; it's Dad's office!!
He looks at her in shock. Within a few hours, he understood that she is kind, but this one line makes him like her even more...
Teju- So, yeah, I don't like all these things like limelight and all. I want to achieve things myself, whatever it is in my life. I just need Dad's guidance, not his fame! I'm happy this way. And yeah, I have come to his office quite a few times, but I met him in his cabin and went away...
Karan- Genuinely speaking, Knowing uncle I knew even you must be like him down to earth and all.. but I expected you to be a bit different.. but you proved me wrong girl... I really like it now!!
Teju - Huh..?
Karan- I mean I like your personality...
Teju- oh thanks for the compliment!!
They reach the beach, and Karan gets down first, opening the door for Teju. She smiles at his gesture. He then asks for her hand, and they walk towards the beach...
Teju- Let's sit here na...
Karan- haa sure!
Karan notices the genuine smile on Teju's face and understands that she loves beaches...
