After bidding bye to Ro Mahi went out of his home and sat in his car. He couldn't understand what to do now how to confront Vi but still he called him.
On call-
Mahi-"Hello?"
Vi-"What?"
Mahi-"Cheeku.... let's let's go on a date"
Vi was startled for a second but replied-"Achanak?"
Mahi-"Kuch cheezein life mein achanak hoti hain Cheeku."
Vi-"Thik hai.... kab?"
Mahi-"Aaj sham.... 7 baje?"
Vi-"Okay... lekin date kahan?"
Mahi-"It will be a surprise"
Vi-"........k" he said and cut the call.
Mahi sighed and went to do the preparations for the date.

Time skip- 6 30 pm.
Vi was panicking at home wondering how to face Mahi after what happened earlier. He chose a black shirt and trousers somewhere casual. Being that comfortable around Mahi to show his real self.
He had finally decided to tell his past to Mahi. But he was very scared about how Mahi will react on hear about his sexual abuse.
Suddenly He just realised it was 6 45 amd Mahi had a habit of coming earlier than the decided time so he went out and stood near the gate. After 5 minutes Mahi reached there. He immediately got down and ran to Vi smiled softly.
Vi-"Mahi......"
Mahi-"Cone on baby aa jao" saying this he pulled Vi with him towards the car.
Vi forcefully stopped him and said -"Mahi.. I have to tell you something... mujhe aapko kuch batana hai..."
Mahi smiled and siad-"mujhe bhi tumhe kuch batana hai chalo pehle"
Vi nodded softly. Mahi opened the door for Vi and He sat in the car couldn't help but smile at Mahi's antics.
Mahi started driving. He started a song.

तू ही ये मुझको बता दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना
अपने तू दिल का पता दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना
तू ही ये मुझको बता दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना
अपने तू दिल का पता दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना

Mahi started humming with the song...

इतना बता दूँ तुझको
चाहत पे अपनी मुझको यूँ तो नहीं इख़्तियार
फिर भी ये सोचा दिल ने
अब जो लगा हूँ मिलने, पूछूँ तुझे एक बार, ओ
तू ही ये मुझको बता दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना
Mmm, अपने तू दिल का पता दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना

Vi softly smiled at the lyrics

ऐसी कभी पहले हुई ना थीं ख़्वाहिशें
ओ, किसी से भी मिलने की ना की थीं कोशिशें
उलझन मेरी सुलझा दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना
आँखों-आँखों में जता दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना

Vi closed his eyes feeling relaxed and happy. Smiling at the lyrics.

मेरे छोटे-छोटे ख़्वाब हैं, ख़्वाबों में गीत हैं
गीतों में ज़िंदगी है, चाहत है, प्रीत है
अभी मैं ना देखूँ ख़्वाब वो जिनमें ना तू मिले
ले, खोले होंठ मैंने, अब तक थे जो सिले
मुझको ना जितना मुझ पे
उतना इस दिल को तुझ पे होने लगा एतबार
तन्हा लम्हों में अपने
बुनती हूँ तेरे सपने, तुझसे हुआ मुझको प्यार, ओ
पूछूँगी तुझको कभी ना, चाहूँ मैं या ना
तेरे ख़्वाबों में अब जीना चाहूँ मैं क्यूँ ना?
तू ही ये मुझको बता दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना
अपने तू दिल का पता दे, चाहूँ मैं या ना

As the song ended the both let out a heavy sigh with Vi realizing that they had reached their destination.
Mahi-"Vi Come on lets-"
Vi pouted and said-"Cheeku..mm"
Mahi-"Ky- oh achha Cheeku come on"
As soon as Vi started walking Mahi picked him up and started walking.
After walking for 2 minutes the reached a place. Between the forest. The trees decorated with lights and a dining table set in between.
Vi was put down by Mahi. Vi started walking around in admiration.
He went and stood near a tree admiring the lights.
Mahi-"Achha laga?"
Vi-"Bohot achha bohot zyada achha"
Mahi-"Vi...let's eat dinner fir mujhe tumhe kuch batana hai"
Vi's smile fainted at this as he nodded slightly. 
They both had dinner and after 1 and a half hour they eating.
Mahi-"Kaisa laga khana?"
Vi-"Bohit achha tha you know very tasty."
Mahi-"hmm ab Vi main bol raha tha ki.."
Vi-"Mahi pehle mujhe kuch batana hai.."
