Aarushi was hurt by what Sumedh said. Yes, she started hating Himani but Priyank had nothing to do with this.

She went to talk to Priyank. She found him in the parking lot. He was sitting on the bonnet of his car, looking at his phone's screen.

"Priyank" She called him, he looked away and wiped the tear on his cheek. "Haan?" He said with a smile. "Sorry" She said, "it's okay, chalta hai" He said.

"Rulaya na mene tumhe? Chalo paani puri khilati hu" She said. "Pani puri?" He asked confused. "Haan, pani puri ka nhi pta? Areyyy!!!! Golgappe?" She asked. "Pta hai, par pani puri ka mere rone se kya link? Teekhi hogi to aur rona aaega" He said. "Point. Meethi wali khe lena" She said.

"Woh psand nhi" He said. "Ice cream khate hai...aao" She said holding his wrist. "Actually tum betho, me leke aati hu" She said. "Arey me aata hu na" He said. "No. Tum andar betho" She said pushing him in the car.

She came after some minutes. "Yeh lo" She said giving him the ice cream cone. He smiled and thanked her. "Acchi hai" He said looking at her. "Ice cream ya me?" She asked. He chuckled. "Dono" He said.

"Accha meri class hai abhi to me chalti hu" She said. He nodded, "see you later!!" He said, she smiled and left. She turned again, "Priyank" She said. He looked at her. "Himani mil jaeghi, tension mat lena" She said. An ear to ear smile came on his face.

"Thanks" He said. She left.

Negi Nivaas...
Devaki and Sameeksha were cooking in the kitchen. "What's up ladies?" Rohit asked coming in. Devaki was sitting on a chair, eating an apple. Sameeksha was chopping green chillies.

Rohit sat on the kitchen counter where Sameeksha was working. "Green chillies kaat rhi ho?" He asked. "Nhi, piyaaz kaat rhi hu" She said. He cocked his eyebrows. "Koi tension hai?" He asked getting close to her.

"Kaam kar kar ke thaki hu" She said with a tired face. "Aww" He said, "me kucch help kru?" He asked, "haan, bas chup raho" She said. He chuckled.

A strand of her hair was disturbing her, he placed it behind her ear. She looked at him. "Saamne aa rahe the" He said. She continued her work. He again moved the strand behind her ear. She looked at him again.

"Firse saamne aa rahe the" He said innocently. The third time he took his hand close to her ear, "saamne aane to do unhe!!" She said irritated. Devaki started laughing. "Bhalai ka zamana hi nhi hai Bhabhi" He said.

"Ab baar baar kaam me disturb kroge to dimaag kharab hoga na!" Sameeksha said. Her attention was not at the chillies that she was chopping, because of this, she cut her finger.

"Arey yaar! Kya karti ho tum?" He asked looking at her finger. He was about to suck the blood coming out of the cut when she tried to stop him, "Rohit...nhi m...irchi hai" She said but it was too late.

Rohit tasted the chilli with her blood. "Ohh shit!!!!!!!" He shouted. "Paani!!!!!" He said. Devaki was laughing. Sameeksha gave him a glass of water. He drank it in one go.

"U...ungli dikhao" He said. "Aur paani du?" She asked. He shook his head. "Lao me plaster kaga deta hu" He said and took her with him.

"Betho chup chaap" He said making her sit on the bed.
He started cleaning the cut. Sameeksha was not feeling much pain but Rohit's facial expressions were showing his pain.

He bit his lower lip. "Rohit theek hai, itna dard nhi ho raha" She said with a chuckle.

"Chup raho tum" He said. She kept quiet. After cleaning the cut, he plastered it. "Aage se dhyaan rakhna, samjhi?" He asked. She nodded. "Sirf sar mat hilao, actual me samjhi ya nhi?" He asked. "Haan baba samajh geyi" She said. "Good" He said.
