Dev clenched his hands.

He wasn't happy at all.

Ranveer spotted Dev's reaction. And he knew his best friend. Dev was an expert at impulsive decisions. And looking at the intensity of the situation he knew he needed to be alert. So he nudged Neha and discreetly pointed at Dev's clenched hands. She in turn alerted Riya and Tina.

With eyes trained on the man who called himself Jatin, Dev took a step towards him. Ranveer and the rest of them realised that Dev was going to go all Hulk on the man with Sonakshi, so they panicked. Right at that moment the receptionist located Jatin's reservation and looked up at them saying,

"Sir this way" and the entire group, excluding Dev of course, were horrified to realise that she was pointing in their direction.

They could already see Sonakshi and Jatin turning towards them. By then, Dev had already taken a couple of steps forward. Tina frantically looked around and spotted a tall plant on their left. Tapping on Ranveer's shoulder she pointed towards it. Ranveer quickly understood what she meant and sent a nod her way, pulling along Neha and Riya to help him.

Thankfully while Sonakshi and Jatin were standing near the reception desk, a random person bumped into Sonakshi, throwing her slightly off balance, which made her let go of the purse in her hand, which then landed on the floor. She bent to pick it up. Thanking God for giving them enough time, Ranveer ran forward, grabbed Dev's hand and pulled him behind the plant, with Riya, Neha and Tina following right behind them.

Sonakshi straightened and turn around to be faced with a whoosh of air. She looked around with a confused expression. While there was no breeze around, the leaves of the plant on their left were moving as if someone had blown on them. She stared at it for a moment. Jatin looked at her and asked,

"Kya hua?"

Sonakshi stared at the plant for a second longer and then turned to Jatin,

"Kuch nahin."

Jatin made sweeping motion with his hand and said,

"Chalein?"

Sonakshi nodded with a smile and both of them walked into the restaurant.

Seeing them walk in, Dev hissed,"Kya kar raha hai Ranveer! Mujhey ussey baat karna hai!"

Ranveer, still gripping Dev so that he couldn't escape said,

"Tu agar yahan se hila, toh achha nahin hoga Dev."

Tina quickly whispered, "Haan Sir. Aap gusse me hai. Abhi nahin mil sakte aap Dr. Bose se."

Dev glared at them, "Maine kab kahan ki main Sonakshi se milna Chahta hoon. Main to uss 6 footiye ki baat kar raha tha."

Riya pushed the rest aside and said, "Bhaiyya, agar aap ussey abhi milte toh yahin apni poori life ka badla le lete. Hum aisa nahin hone de sakte!"

While they whispered and bickered among themselves, the manager happened to be passing by the spot. Hearing the harsh whispers he peeped behind the plant. To say he was shocked at the sight would be an understatement. Eyes wide he literally yelled, "Mr. Dixit?" Hearing that, the entire group snapped their heads towards the voice. As the manager stared at them, mouth agape, the group seemed like they were caught in the middle of an illegal act.
