Sonakshi was having a sleepless night. Her conversation with Sonali kept playing in her head in loops. She wanted to avoid her sister's advice. For once in her life she was getting to see hope, hope that she can live a normal life, hope that she can be loved too but Dev was not just a medium to heal her soul he was her friend first & she could not use him. She knew if she lets him enter her life, her actual life he would be harmed & she couldn't afford it at any cost. Still she hoped to have a bright future. Sonali's words, possibilities of the future & the duel in her brain occupied her mind so much that she didn't realise when the night got over & the sun took charge of the day!

With puffed eyes she got down from her bed it was her 2nd last day at work with the Dixits & she will not let her past or her future spoil this present. A big poster hung in her room which read

Don't let your past, blackmail your present to ruin your future

Sona looked at it & then out of her room's window.It was drizzling.Carefree & laid back are the words which are used for Goan lifestyle but her life was far from being care free.  Her phone buzzed on her bed side table

Message from Nikki
Don't be late today Di! We have  something special for you!!!

Sona smiled after reading it & immediately went to get ready for the last two days at Dev's house

"Nikki! Sab ho gaya na" Dev almost shouted in Nikki's ears

"Ha Bhai!  Saara kaam ho gaya... Aap relax karo" Nikki replied "Waise ab to aap bhabhi ke virah ke geet gao"

"Shut up! Her job is getting over here that doesn't mean that we'll break contact... She's my friend & will always be" Dev spoke with full confidence

"Aap Kichu Bhaiya ko nikal rahe ho? "

"Nahi" Dev replied with a shocked look. From where did this idea came in her mind?

"Mai to Kichu Bhaiya ki wife ke jaane ki baat kar rahi thi...  She'll go back to her village tomorrow that's why I said that... I didn't knew that you have made such a great bond with her" Nikki said with a poker face "Wait a minute...  Kahi aap Sona Di ki baat to nahi kar rahe the...  Waah Bhaiya aapne to unko bhabhi ki post par promote kar diya"

Dev gave Nikki a tight lipped smile & then he picked up a cushion from a nearby sofa & threw it at her. Nikki dodged it & ran for her life. Dev ran after her with the cushion

Sona opened the main door of the Dixit mansion. The living room was dark, even the windows were shut

"Dev... Nikki... Aunty ji? " She called out "I've grown up for such surprises...  I know you guys want me to get scared & all...  Then you'll pop out of the sofa or something like that shouting SURPRISE... So come out guys I'm waiting"

Sona stood with an I-know-it-all- expression but no one came out or wished Sonakshi. "Come out people" No one replied. Only the sound of the rain falling heavily could be heard.

"This is getting creepy" She thought "Wait... I'll call Dev...  His phone will ring here & they'll be busted"

Sona laughed wickedly in her head. She called Dev but his phone didn't ring in the house. This petrified Sonakshi "Uh! Oh! "
