Everyone look around to see who it was... Riddhima and Armaan also look around the big hall which was fill with 100's of people... They saw a guy of their age standing correcting his coat as he took a file from the table where he was sitting... He move towards the stage and as he was getting near, Riddhima mouth fell open hitting her jaw down on the floor...

Which was important then the ceremony... Anjali hasn't come back from duty as she had gone around 10am in morning...

Girl said as she let her cruely noodles type which was tied up in to a ponytail... She was wearing a jeans and kurta... 'Arey koi problem nehi hai...Woh actually main akele hoon... Issiliyeh...' Padma said as all move in to the house...
Soon Padma asked to settle the table for dinner to their guest... Actually the were not guest... They were friends of Riddhima and Anjali... Also Shashank and Padma take as them their own kids... From the very first moment they got friend with each other, they always end up get togthering in Gupta Mansion... But only when Shashank is not around... 'Toh batao Muskaan aur Atul, sab kuch kaise chal rahe hai...' Padma asked as she sit next to Anjali... 'Bohot acche Aunty... Actually hospital main bohot kaam hote hai,issiliyeh aa nehi paate pehle jaise... Aapko pata hi hoga yeh doctory banna easy nehi hai... Kab kiswaqt call aaye, pata hi nehi chalta...' Atul says... 'Haan Atul, Anjali bhi toh aise bhaagte rehte hai... Aur Muskaan... Tum batao...' Padma turn to Muskaan who was enjoying paratta...'Muski please tum khana khane ke baad hi baat karna... Mom, aapne dad ke saat nehi gayi...' Anjali asked...'Haan woh mujhe Mrs.Mehra se milne jaana ta but usne last minute main kaha programme cancel hogayi...' Padma says...'Waise ceremony toh abhi shuru huva hogaya na... Aunty aapne dekha nehi...' Atul asked...'Bas 9bhaje shuru hone wala hai... Main dekhne wali ti but tum log dinner pe aagayi toh bhul gaye...' Padma says...
Anjali who was already done with her dinner got up to leave...'Sorry Aunty, humhare wajahse aapko ceremony miss karna pada...' Muskaan said...'Arey koi baat nehi Muskaan... Waise bhi abhi toh cheafguest ki baat dikha raha hoga... Award toh last main denge...' Padma standing collecting the plates...'Mom,Atul,Muski...Jaldi aao, woh log award dene wale hai...' Anjali call from the hall as she went to see what was they showing now...
As everyone was done with dinner, they move to the hall and sat on the counch watching the ceremony which was showing live... Padma also joins them after leaving the plates in the kitchen to let the maids do the rest of the work... Also she asked to bring coffee for them as they would be watching tv...'OMG... Ridzy kitni beautiful lag rahi hai us dress main...' Muskaan says as Riddhima and Armaan were moving to the stange as Karan asked them to...Padma smile seeing how beautiful Riddhima and Armaan were looking together... 'Armaan bhi kuch kam nehi dikh rahe, haina mom...' Anjali says looking at Padma and understanding what she was thinking seeing Padma lost expression...'Hoga kyun nehi, after all Armaan hai hi itni dashing... Every girls die for him...' Atul says...'Sahi kaha Atul... Mom bhi Armaan se ek ya do saal kam hoti toh uspe jarur line maarte... Tum logo koh yaad haina Armaan kaise mom koh beautiful bolte hai aur mom har baar sharmaate hai...' Anjali says giggling...'Chup karo Anjali... Kuch bhi...Chup chaap dekho na tv nehi toh apne kamre main jao, humhe dekhne doh...' Padma says...
They stop talking when Karan asked the orgernaized of the ceremony to hand over the project to Armaan and Riddhima...Mr.Singh took over the mike and it was time... 'Thank u Mr.Gupta and Mr.Mallik... Now I would like to Mr.Grewal to come and hand over the project as they r the one of the best company in US... Can we have Mr.Grewal on the stage please...'
Anjali, Atul and Muskaan look at each other hearing the name Mr.Grewal...'R u both thinking what I m thinking...' Anjali asked...'But aise kaise ho sakte hai... I mean he must be not the only one who has that surname na...'Muskaan says...'Haan Muski, but tumne suna nehi... Hes also from US and woh bhi waha hai...' Atul says...'Tum log kiske baare main baat kar rahe ho...' Padma asked as they started to talk again...
Neither of them says anything and Padma who was watching says, 'waha dekho... Mr. Grewal seems he is same age as u ppl...' Anjali,Atul and Muskaan look at the screen and saw a guy in black coat standing with his back towards the camera as he was claimbing the stange with a file on his hand... The three of them hold there breath waiting for the person to turn around so they can see his face... 'Yeh Riddhima aise shocked kyun hai...' Padma asked others not understanding why Riddhima was Shockingly looking at the person who was now hugging with Armaan...'I guess we were thinking right after all...' Anjali says...
Atul and Muskaan didn't say anything and just keep staring at the tv, Padma was sitting not understanding why they all were tense...The guy turn around and face to the tv... As others were thinking, yes it was him... Muskaan stood up seeing him and Atul rooted on the place not understanding how to react... 'Is that Rahul...' Padma asked seeing and recognizing the face... 'Surely it is...' Anjali says as she keeps looking without blinking her eyes...
