"I am waiting....um.... Santhosh right?" Sanjay's voice echoed in his ears which convinced Santhosh that he was still alive.

He warned his mind to cook up something but it seemed to be dead. "I am patient but my revolver is a very impatient one" Sanjay spoke again which made Santhosh go numb with fear.

After a moment Rahul almost had a mild heart-attack listening to the words uttered by Santhosh.

"Because Rishika is in love with me." Santhosh said holding his breath, with his eyes tightly shut, waiting for the revolver to do something.

But nothing happened for few moments and a relieved Santhosh slowly opened his one eye to have a glance at Sanjay.

Assured that he won't be killed, he opened his other eye and looked at Rahul, who was at the edge to go into coma. Then he turned towards Sanjay and found him stare at him in disbelief, still holding the revolver.

"What?" Santhosh jerked at Sanjay's voice. "Yes....Yes Mr. Sanjay. Rishika and I are madly in love with each other."

Santhosh said slightly caressing his cheek which had been witness of Rishika's 'love' while Rahul almost fainted in his seat.

Santhosh smirked and slowly, gently moved the revolver away from his temple sensing that Sanjay was into his so called love story.

He got up from the seat, made an extremely sad face and walked towards the window "We can't live without each other Sanjay. Please don't separate us. I'll die without Rishika." He added pretending to wipe away the fake tears from his eyes.

"But Mr. Rajsekhar said that Rishika accepted the proposal?" Sanjay said in disbelief standing up. Rahul too immediately got onto his foot, trying to understand what Santhosh is up to.

Santhosh was glad that Sanjay believes in his fake love story. 'Guess I have to answer his viva questions.' Santhosh thought trying to make some good excuse.

Santhosh turned his back to Sanjay, took hold of the window-door appearing as a devadas. "The same old story Sanjay. I and Rishika have been in love for the past four years.

Rajsekhar came to know about it recently. He hates me and refused to accept me as I am.... I am..... I am not as wealthy as them. He warned Rishika that he would kill me if she doesn't marry you.

She did not accept it but was forced to. Tell me Sanjay what you would do if you were in her place?" Santhosh said with so much emotion that Rahul thought it was true for one second.

Santhosh turned around and raised his eyebrow at Rahul as if asking how his excuse was to which Rahul gave a weak smile. 'Four years is too much isn't it?' Rahul thought.  They both looked at Sanjay the next second and were shocked beyond wits.

Sanjay made an extremely sad face as tears ran down his face listening to Santhosh's words. Santhosh was lost in his confusion when Sanjay embraced him a bear hug.

"Don't worry Santhosh. I always respected true lovers and I respect you too. I will help you get back to her. Don't worry." Sanjay still sobbed while Santhosh patted his back hesitatingly as he felt his shirt getting wet due to tears.

'Is he mad or what? He believed my stupid story and now sobbing for that? Wow Santhosh, you are a genius. You should have been an actor. You would have outshined as super star.' Santhosh mentally patted himself for his success.

Sanjay pulled apart from Santhosh and wiped his tears. "Sorry. I get too emotional sometimes. What do you want me to do now? Shall I talk to Mr. Rajsekhar and convince him to get Rishika married to you? I am sure I can do that."
