"Issi jhumar ke niche milegi shanti ki lash" Aarchi and Arush stood side by side, looking at the chandelier, waiting for Vihaan to finish his shopping of an office desk. They kept staring at the chandelier with a serious expression. Vihaan signed a cheque and looked at the two loose screws confused. He walked to them and looked up at the chandelier, trying to see what they were seeing.

"Mein zinda thi Mukesh, meri saansein chal rahi thi... Aur tumne mujhe zinda hi gaad diya" Aarchi said staring at the chandelier with emotions. Vihaan poked her shoulder confused at what the bestfriends duo was upto. A few customers close by watched them with weird glances.

"You are going to pay for your sins Mukesh... You are going to die" Aarchi said walking and standing right under the chandelier.

"You are going to die" She kept murmuring the same line scaring Vihaan.

"AARCHI!!!" Vihaan shook her violently screaming her name. Arush and Aarchi burst out laughing seeing Vihaan's scared face.

"Its a dialogue from Om Shanti Om" Arush said hi-fying with Aarchi.

"You both need to be locked up in a museum" Vihaan hit both of them who fled away laughing as he followed them out. Vihaan, Aarchi and Arush had gone out to a furniture store to buy a new office desk for Vihaan's cabin at the hospital.

"You guys continue, I'm meeting with the boys" Arush said hugging Aarchi.

"Dinner?" Vihaan asked pulling Aarchi onto his side.

"I'll be home by then. You go drop her" Arush said raising his hand on the roadside for a rickshaw.

"You use rickshaw?" Vihaan asked scrunching his eyebrows at him. Aarchi elbowed him.

"Public transport isn't bad" Aarchi said waving her hand at Arush.

"Mad beings" Vihaan placed both his hands on her shoulders and guided her towards his car.

"Where to Mr. Malhotra?" Aarchi asked stopping and asking him teasingly.

"To my private yacht, so I can kiss you to content" He said pulling her close, hugging her from behind.

"Are you a coward?" Aarchi asked pushing him away.

"Himmat hai, toh yaha pe kiss karke dikhao (If you are courageous enough, kiss me in public)" Aarchi said folding her hands at her chest, looking at him challengingly.

"As you wish mi'lady" Vihaan stepped closer to her and cupped her cheeks, leaning towards her lips. Just when he was to touch her, he was jerked away from Aarchi.

"What the fu...bhaiyu?" Aarchi was ready to blast on the person who harshly separated her from her boyfriend but paled seeing her both brothers looking at Vihaan fuming in anger. Aryaman fisted Vihaan's collar.

"What were you doing with my sister?" Aryaman asked angrily.

"Bhaiyu...bhaiyuu calm down please" Aarchi tried to hold Aryaman's hand but Aviraj kept her on the side, letting Aryaman sort out with Vihaan.

"Arya... we are dating" Vihaan said calmly.

"Huh!! A man whore like you shouldn't even be close to her. You are so broken from within that you'll make her like you" Aryaman spitted venomous words as Vihaan shuddered with the horrible memories of the past.

"No bhaiyu! You can't say such poisonous words for him. This isn't done" Aarchi looked at Aryaman in disappointment.

"You have no idea what kind of a man he is Aaru" Aryaman pushed Vihaan onto the ground and turned towards Aarchi looking at her softly. Aarchi removed her hand from Aviraj's grip and was immediately helping Vihaan stand up.
