Dev and Samaira laughed and walked out towards the elevator. As they both stepped in, the open doors of the elevator symbolized the beginning of a beautiful friendship between the two of them, which they would cherish all their life.

They ordered coffee and some pastries at the coffee shop.

Dev was shocked to see that Samaira added multiple teaspoons of sugar to her coffee, "itni cheeni peeogi toh diabetes ho jaayegi!"

Samaira sipped at her coffee, "toh ho jaane do.....kal ki chinta mein main apna aaj kyon kharaab karoon?"

Dev shook his head as he drank his coffee black with no sugar, "jaanti ho old age mein health hi kaam aati hai."

"Ishwari aunty ne kaha hoga...haina?" Samaira quipped

Dev laughed, "you never spare an opportunity to pull my leg...do you?"

Samaira chuckled back, "you are so gullible....just like my sister."

"You have a sister?" Dev was surprised.

Samaira realized that she had never mentioned anything about Sonakshi before; how could she tell him that she was working in his office under her alias and her sister was the one who he was supposed to meet for the marriage proposal?

"Haan hai!" she quickly changed the topic then, "do you have any brother or sisters?"

"Haan...ek chota bhai Prithvi hai....wo US mein MBA kar raha hai," Dev answered back.

Samaira thought this was her chance to probe further, "that's it? Aur koi nahin hai?"

Dev shook his head and gave her a puzzled look, "kyon? Meri shakal par likha hai ki mere aur bhai behen bhi hone chaahiye!"

Samaira raised any eyebrow, "what about a twin brother? Separated at birth or something?"

Dev was amused at her train of thought, "what makes you think so? If you are talking about that Rehaan, then cut it out! Kitne log mujhe pareshaan karte hain aaj kal.....are you Rehaan? Are you related to him? Is he your lost twin? I have had enough of this Rehaan guy.....kahin raaste mein mil jaaye toh usey do ghoosey maar doonga...toh yeh story hi khatam ho jaayegi!"

Samaira almost spilled the coffee off the table- Dev really did not like being compared to his look alike, Rehaan, "sorry Dev.....phir nahin poonchungi."

Dev took a bite of his pastry and asked, "achha yeh bataao.....tum itni sad kyon thi?"

Samaira lowered her eyes; although she was an outgoing and gregarious person, she was not a very forthcoming person when it came to her sorrows or grief. She preferred to keep them to herself, especially now that Dev really hated this Rehaan guy, "nahin kuch nahin....meri behen ki koi problem thi."

"Kaisi problem?" he asked, sipping on his coffee.

"Uski shaadi jis se hone waali thi, wo bhaag gaya kahin," she said sadly

"What a coward!" Dev clenched his fists in anger, "your sister deserves someone better in that case."

"But she is madly in love with this guy," Samaira looked at Dev.

"Madly in love! What does that phrase actually mean Sonakshi?" Dev asked sarcastically, but felt a little twinge inside him as he said that; for some reason the image of the upset girl at the temple flashed before his eyes as he asked that question. He shook his head and wondered what was happening to him these days......why was he 'seeing' weird things all the time, whether it was night time and now day time too.
