The shopping and the dinner goes on well.......Riya makes Arjun carry her shopping bags too.....and he does it without much clenching of jaws........Riya could see that her new approach is bring him to track......aakhir uski nayi attitude work kar gayi.....She smirked as she spotted him holding her bags as she returned from the rest room in the restaurant....

Ab Chalen?? He asked her irritably......

[The ladies had tested their patience that evening........hopping from shop to shop, doing window shopping.......Arjun and Sameer had no choice but follow them...........Sonali had given them an ultimatum "aap logon ko humne nahi bulaaya....aap khud hi aaye teh........so plzzz, yeh gussaa chodiye aur humaare peechae aayiye......ya phir, resort waapas chale jaahiye......hum shopping khatam karke aa jaayenge....."

That statement from Sonali didn't give much option to the men.......]

So when they finally finished dinner, Arjun tried to hurry them off back......

Riya: [posing to be too tired] haaan......chalthe hai....aaj keliye bas.......I am damn tired......

[Arjun tries to give her back the bags while she just ignores it and starts walking ahead with Sonali.......Arjun stamps his foot in anger and follows her.....]

By the time, Arjun comes to the bed, Riya is fast asleep tired from the day's ordeals.......He badly wished to finish their incomplete conversation and even tries to wake her but in vain....he smiles to himself looking at her innocent face before he rests back.......He pulls her hand softly and keeps holding it as he drifts into sleep.........the feeling of her hands in his was giving him an unique comfort........Subconsciously he decides that he will let her know his true feelings very soon.....

******************************

Next day, as he returned from his jog, he hears her singing in the bath.....He is amused by it.......he had never heard her sing......

"Mere Khwaabon Mein Jo Aaye
aake Mujhe Chhed Jaaye
mere Khwaabon Mein Jo Aaye
aake Mujhe Chhed Jaaye
usse Kaho Kabhi Saamne Toh Aaye
"

He sits down on the couch with the newspaper while she comes out with a towel tied on her hair and her hands rubbing the loose end of the towel to wipe dry her flowing hair...she was still humming the song...and didn't seem conscious about his presence in the same room...

mere Khwaabon Mein Jo Aaye
aake Mujhe Chhed Jaaye
usse Kaho Kabhi Saamne Toh Aaye

Kaisa hai kaun hai vo jaane kahaan hain

Ohh Kaisa hai kaun hai vo jaane kahaan hain

Jiske liye mere honton pe haan hai......

His eyes were alternating between the paper and her.......All her actions indicated that she was very happy today......He was curious to know the reason...her song only added to his curiosity......he couldn't contain it anymore......."bohat khush ho?"

Riya turned to him, a bit surprised at his question "haan....khush toh hoom!! Aur ek badaa reason bhi hai"

Arjun: kaisa reason??

Riya: [suddenly excited about the whole thing and starts replying like a big story] woh Rohan hai na??

Arjun: kaunsa Rohan?? [he feigns ignorance but the truth was that Rohan was one name he couldn't get off his head so easily.......]

Riya: maine uss din bathaaya tha na???mera UK waala friend......

Arjun: haan.....haaan.....yaadh aaya......uska shaadi ho rahi hai kya???isiliye khush ho??
