Dev, Prithvi and Samaira met at a restaurant later to discuss their further strategy.

Dev ordered tandoori chicken for himself, to the surprise of Samaira and Prithvi. Dev gave them a quizzical look, "why are you guys surprised? Rehaan loves chicken.....and so do I," he winked at them as they raised their glasses to toast his recovery from his illness.

Dev gave a friendly look at Samaira and raised his glass again, "and this is for my best friend....Samaira Bose.....without whom I could not have done this!"
Samaira smiled back and raised her glass, "No Dev.....iska credit mujhse zyaada Sonakshi ko milna chaahiye....because she was your biggest motivation......her love was your strength."

Dev lowered his eyes and sighed, "tum theek keh rahi ho Samaira.......lekin ek baat bataao, tumne yeh sab kyun kiya? Tumhe kya mila? Afterall I have broken your heart....am really sorry Samaira for whatever I have done. Ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar dena," he said emotionally.

Samaira smiled through her own tears, 'nahin Dev....yeh maine tumhare liye nahin, apne liye hi kiya hai......Sonakshi ko hurt karke main kabhi khush nahiin reh paati...Woh mere liye kuch nahiin kehti...probably, I would have done the same for her...hum dono chaahe ek se dikhte hain, par andar se bilkul alag hain......lekin ek baat hum dono mein common hai.....we are both very stubborn," Samaira's tears were flowing freely now, "wo meri happiness ke liye apna mooh nahin khol rahi thi......par maine bhi thaan lee thi ki main usey kuch nahin bataongi jab tak wo apne mann ki baat nahin bataayegi.....maine usey bahut hurtful cheezein bhi kaha hai, par wo phir bhi chup rehti hai...sirf mere liye..."

Dev nodded and wiped his tears, "jaanta hoon.....jab tak Rehaan tha, usse pagalon ki tarah pyaar kiya ki bechari kisi aur ke baare mein soch bhi nahin sakti thi, aur phir achanak uske saamne Dev bankar uski behen ka fiance ban gaya......I have given her my share of heart breaks too Samaira."

Prithvi cleared his throat, "*cough*cough* I don't plan to please my appetite with tears and apologies all evening....can we start?"

Samaira blew her nose in a tissue and wiped her tears, "sorry Prithvi......you are right let's eat."

Dev was still serious; he looked at Samaira again, "but Samaira....I am still very sorry that I broke your heart......"

Samaira heaved a sigh and took out a little box from her purse, "here you go.....now you don't have to feel guilty Dev......main khud apne poore consciousness mein yeh engagement ring wapas kar rahi hoon.....please take it back......mere purse mein kab se bojh bankar ghoom rahi hai."

Dev felt a little guilty, but he knew Samaira was right. He took the ring back and placed it in his pocket.

"Aur waise bhi ab Samaira ko ek handsome doctor pasand aa gaya hai.....Dev bhai aap kya cheez hain uske saamne?" Prithvi chided.

"Really Samaira? Dr Chopra?" Dev asked curiously.

"Prithvi ki baaton par vishwaas karte ho? He is full of you know what! Aisa kuch nahin hai," Samaira rolled her eyes.

"Yeah right! I think that doctor is totally besotted by you," Prithvi nudged her.

"Hey, if that is true.....I am jealous....mujh jaise rockstar ko chhod kar tum uss doctor ke peeche bhaag rahi ho?" Dev teased her.

"Kya karti?......Tumhare saamne itna bada board jo laga hai- NOT AVAILABLE! So, naturally I have to MOVE ON!" Samaira laughed, but Dev could sense the pain in her voice as she said that. He really felt sorry for Samaira; he was aware how it felt when someone you love rejects you- but he figured Samaira was perhaps stronger than he was; she knew how to look ahead instead of lamenting the loss of someone who would never come back to her.

Dev became serious again, "Sonakshi kahan hai Samaira?," he really wanted to meet her as soon as he could; he wanted her to know that her Rehaan was back and this time forever.

Samaira lowered her eyes, "actually...wo 2-3 days ke liye Lucknow gayi hai......dadi ke bhai rehte hain wahan......unke saath wo ek music school kholna chaahti hai....usi keliye gayi hai."

"Aur dadi? Dadi toh yahin hain....phir Sonakshi akeli kyun gayi hai?" Dev was concerned

"Dev! Wo choti bachchi nahin hai.....aa jaayegi 1-2 din mein wapas....chalo let's plan our next step....haan Prithvi batao what was your plan?" Samaira asked.

"Well.....here you go....let's have a big party at our house.....I will invite anyone and everyone our family knows.........and then we will unveil our new and improved rock star to everyone.....I can't wait to see mom's expression!" Prithvi chuckled, "and make sure Iqbal, dadi and Samaira...your whole family is there...office mein bhi invitations pahunch jaane chaahiye....what do you think Dev bhai?"

Dev clenched his jaws, "mera mann toh nahin hai ko mom ke saath kuch bhi celebrate karoon, par shayad sabke samne unko humiliate karke jo mujhe shanti milegi shayad waise na mil paaye....meri dadi ko jis tarah se unhone insult karke nikala tha....main bhi unke saath wohi karunga"

"Relax Dev! You don't have to go that far....after all she is your mom," Samaira reasoned.

"You are right Samaira....shayad unki punishment yahi hogi ki unka beta wo nahin jo wo sochti thi......wo hai jo wo kabhi sapne mein bhi nahin soch sakti thi....I think that is a great plan Prithvi," Dev got up from the table, "guys carry on.....I need to go."

"Kahan ja rahe ho?" Samaira asked

"Dadi se milne.....and Samaira....please make sure Sonakshi comes for the party too....please promise me," Dev pleaded.

"What do I get?" Samaira teased him

Dev gave her a peck on the cheek, "a kiss from your jiju....." he winked at Samaira like she used to wink at him in the past, and walked out of the restaurant. He felt liberated that day; everything was crystal clear to him. The only thing that he wanted now, was Sonakshi's love...

Prithvi convinced his parents to have the big party at their house, "mom...dad....it would be a great way to celebrate the New Year.....after all we have not invited our friends in a long time......I want to make sure once I complete my MBA, I have enough contacts in the business world.....so it would be a great start...what do you think dad?"

"Great idea Prithvi......ab tu sach much bada ho gaya hai," Jay was proud at his son's foresightedness.

"OK mom...guest list? Aap bhi apne saari friends aur relatives ko bula lee jiye.....and mom if you don't mind, I have a friend who is an upcoming singer.....he really wants to perform at the party....would that be fine....please mom....don't say no," Prithvi fell at Ishwari's feet.

Ishwari was pleased to see her son being so respectful for a change, "theek hai beta.....tu itne pyaar se keh raha hai toh aane de apne dost ko."

"YIPEE!!!" Prithvi lifted his mom and twirled her around.

Dev watched them from a distance; he had no desire to talk to his mom, he smiled and went upstairs to his room, "thanks Prithvi," he said to himself and decided to start his rehearsals right away.
