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

Sonakshi looked back at Neha and said, "Are you sure yahi aapkey bhai hai?" She desperately wished for this to be untrue. Neha laughed and said, "Yeh kaisa sawaal hai Dr. Bose? Of course I'm sure yahi mere bhai hai." Before Sonakshi could reply Dev butted in saying, " Mujhey nahin lagta Dr. Bose yeh baat jaanke zyada khush hui? Aur ghabraiye mat, main bhi zyada khush nahin hua iss baat se" he finished giving Sonakshi that patent impassive expression but his eyes were observant and sharp, as always.

Neha and Ranveer, both looked utterly confused as to what was happening. Neha decided to get into that later, and said, " Dr. Bose, Ranveer ke barey me hi maine aapko subah bataya tha. Aap unka case handle karengi naah?" Sonakshi was ready to reply to that but once again Dev spoke up, "Are you sure Neha ki yahi ek Doctor thi jo Ranveer ko treat kar sakti hai?" Sonakshi furrowed her brows, "Aap mere abilities to question kar rahey hai Mr. Dixit?" Dev turned to her and said, " Main aapne best friend ko best help dena chahta hoon. I'm merely making sure ko woh ussey mile." Sonakshi was boiling with anger now, " Dekhiye, aapko koi haq nahin banta ki aap mere professional abilities pe sawaal uthaye. When I take the responsibility of a patient, main make sure karti hoon ki who bilkul theek hoke hi mera saath chhorey."

Dev narrowed his eyes, " Ab yeh toh kaam hone ke baad hi pata chalega naah. Abhi inn baton ka kya faida?" Sonakshi really wished she could carry out her dream wish on Dev right now. She had a glass of water in her hand and Dev was in one of his most expensive suits. It would just take her a minute to do it. But she knew her patient was before her and that would not create a very good impression to a person who had come expecting help from her. So she tried calming herself and didn't reply to Dev's sentence because she knew very well that he was trying to instigate her on purpose so that he would have a perfect excuse to take Mr. Shekhawat to another doctor, when she exploded.

Neha glared at Dev listening to what he told Sonakshi. She grew even more confused at the thought that her brother was behaving rudely with a person whom he had just met. This had never happened before. And moreover she was a woman. Dev was a perfect gentleman with every woman he met. Why was he behaving like this with Dr. Bose? But at the moment she needed to control the situation. She nudged Ranveer with her elbow who looked equally apprehensive and at a loss of words. At Neha's gesture he quickly nodded and then turned to Dev and whispered, " Kya kar raha hai Dev. Chup kar. Nahin toh mere haath se itna achha opportunity chala jayega. She's the best. Kya problem hai tujhey? Just keep quiet!" Dev turned to Ranveer and tried to protest, "Par mujhey janney toh de who best hai ki-" "Ki kuch nahin" Ranveer said interrupting him. "Mujhey baat karne de aab." Dev wasn't happy about it, but he didn't want to hurt Ranveer so he kept quiet.

Ranveer turned to Sonakshi, " Dekhiye Dr. Bose, aap mere dost ki batoon ka bura mat maniye. Woh kuch zyada hi protective hai. Aap please apna mind change mat kijiye." Sonakshi smiled a little, " Arey nahin Mr. Shekhawat. I'm not going to change my mind." She looked at Dev and said, "Chahey koi bhi aakey mujhey kuch bhi kahey," She turned back to Ranveer, " Main apna promise nahin todti. I will definitely help you. Aur jahan tak aapkey friend ka sawaal hai, aapko tension lene ki zaroorat nahin, humara jhagda toh roz ka hai. Yeh treatment ke beech nahin ayega." She said this looking pointedly at Dev conveying her message. Dev sighed unhappily but nodded, " Haan Ranveer. Yeh tumharey treatment ke beech nahin ayega, I promise." Ranveer and Neha were once again at a loss. This time Neha couldn't keep quiet anymore, " Roz ka jhagda matlab?" She asked directing her question at Dev.
