Dev retired to his room and stayed awake listening to some Rehaan's songs on his computer in his room. He shut his eyes and enjoyed the melodious music. Each song sounded very familiar and transported him to another world where he saw himself on a stage, surrounded by other musicians and an audience cheering and clapping for him. He even saw a woman's eyes in the crowd; she was smiling at him and swaying with his music. Dev suddenly got up and opened his eyes, "Sonakshi! Sorry...Samaira!" He was panting and sweating profusely. He got up to get some water from the kitchen, but as soon as he opened his door, he saw Prithvi at the door.

"Dev bhai! What's up? Yeh music aapke room se aa raha hai? And looks like you are really missing someone.....I thought you said two names? Sonakshi and Samaira?" Prithvi grinned.

"Yeah! Something like that! I get confused between the two names" Dev walked away to the kitchen and ignored Prithvi's queries.

Prithvi rolled his eyes, "weird! I hope it is just confusion with names and not the real women!"....."Dev bhai has always been weird and is still weird...but in a different way now....I need to warn my friend Samaira what she is getting into", he thought

Dev spent a restless night after a long time. Since he had met Sonakshi recently, he had been sleeping very peacefully and was content with himself, but now his inner restlessness and vivid dreams were back again.

Next day, Dev was in a grouchy mood after a long time. All his employees got a taste of his foul mood early that morning. They had become used to this roller-coaster since they had started working with Dev. Dev gave Samaira a cold stare and walked past her cabin without acknowledging her; he was still upset as she had not shown up at the beach house. Samaira frowned at him when she saw his attitude, "apne aap ko samajhta kya hai? He stood me up last night, and now look at that attitude!"

Samaira waited for awhile, but saw no signs of Dev approaching her cabin. Finally, she decided to thaw the ice.

She knocked on his door and walked in authoritatively, "*cough*cough* Kal sham ko kahan the?"

Dev looked up and gave her a dirty look, 'yeh toh mujhe tumse puchna chaahiye."

"Really? Khud mujhe Bowling Alley ka invitation dekar khud kahan ghayab ho gaye?" she yelled

"Hello! Bowling Alley? Who said we were going to meet there?" Dev retorted and came face to face with her. He kept staring into her eyes, scanning them for some clues, but was confused as there was nothing familiar in them.

"Tumhi ne toh kaha tha, hum apni special jagah par milenge.....as far as I know that is the only common place we can call special....what were you thinking?" Samaira glared back.

Dev pulled away and thought, "maybe it is my fault.....she probably does not see anything special in the beach house like I do."

"That's Ok Samaira....sorry I was mistaken....can we go out for dinner tonight?" he asked calmly

Samaira was delighted and she hugged him, "of course! I have been waiting for you to ask me out for dinner....done!"

"Ek condition par.....tumhein ek song sunana padhega," he grinned

"Song? Aur main? Are you crazy?" she asked

"Maine suna hai tumhari behen next Lata Mangeshkar hai.......par main jaanta hoon ki tumse accha koi aur singer nahin ho sakta," Dev folded his hands and looked at her.
