A few days after Gayathri's birthday celebration , the old rivalries began to surface again. Vaishali and Rajeev met at Vaishali's upscale apartment to discuss their plan against Vikramaditya.

In Vaishali's elegantly decorated living room with a panoramic view of the city, Vaishali and Rajeev sat across from each other with a sense of urgency in the air.

Vaishali : Thank you for coming  bro ! 

Vaishali said as she poured two glasses of wine.Rajeev accepted his glass by taking a measured sip. 

( Rajeev : Nuvvu em aloochistunnavo telusukovali ani undhi. Aaroju  Vaidehi ninnu nammindha ? ) 

Rajeev : I'm keen to hear what you have in mind. Did Vaidehi believe you n that day  ?

( Vaishali : Nammindhi anukunta. ) 

Vaishali : I guess she believed.

Vaishali leaned in and her eyes are sharp. 

( Vaishali : Aa Vikramaditya success choostuntey naa kadupu ragilipothundhi. Aa kotha hotel project gurinchi virra veegi pothunnaadu. Konni nelallo prapancha vyaptham ga aa hotels open avuthayi. ) 

Vaishali : Vikramaditya's success is infuriating. He's basking in the glory of his new hotel project, and it's time we should do something about it. Within few months the hotels will be opened across the world.

Rajeev's expression hardened. 

( Rajeev : avunu ! Manam edho okati chesi vaadini debba kottali. Poina sari emaindho gurtundhi kadha. Konni ghantallo antha chakka bettesaadu. ) 

Rajeev : I agree. But we need a strategy that won't immediately point back to us. Vikramaditya has powerful connections. Did you forget the last time incident ? He corrected everything within hours. 

Vaishali's eyes lit up with a new idea. 

( Vaishali : manam tana ki sambandhinchina vaalla help tisukundhama ? 

Vaishali : What if we get someone within his own circle to help us ? 

Rajeev raised an eyebrow, intrigued. 

( Rajeev :evari gurinchi cheptunnav ? ) 

Rajeev : Who do you have in mind ? 

Vaishali's gaze shifted to her phone. 

( Vaishali : Shalini ! Tanani oppincha galigithey manam edhaina cheyyochu. Tanatho naakunparichayam undhi. )  

Vaishali : Shalini !  If we can convince her to help us, it could be just the leverage we need. She is with me.

.............

Vaishali picked up her phone and dialed Shalini's number. The call connected, and Vaishali's voice was smooth and friendly. 

Shalini : Hello Shalini ! It's Vaishali. I hope you're doing well.

Shalini's voice was cautious but polite. 

Shalini : Hello Vaishali ! What's up ? 

Vaishali leaned back and choosed her words carefully. 

( Vaishali : Nenu oka mukhayamaina vishayam cheppali. Vikramaditya alagey athani kottha hotels project gurinchi. Manam chethulu kalipithey edhaina cheyyochhu. ) 

Vaishali : I was hoping to talk to you about something important. It's about Vikramaditya and his new hotel project. I think we might have a mutual interest in seeing things turn out differently.
