Madhubala was mad at Rishab for lying to her. She believed him and trusted him and how did he dare to lie to her. What was with that Helen? How come she knew Rishab before itself? Is he hiding something from me which Shaina too doesn't know? No, how could she blame him. Even he won't be knowing all these. Yes, she wanted to convey all these with him. But some part of her was saying that he knew somethings about the sisters.

Madhu called him to return to her place that she wanted to talk something important. Rishab took a 'U' turn and stopped at Madhu's house entrance and gave her a call to come out. Madhu sat behind him and ask him to start the bike. Without knowing the destination, he was riding in a straight road. He saw Madhu's face emotionless.

Rishab: Madhu, where are we going?

Madhu: Just like that. Stop where I said you to stop. Take a left turn.

After five minutes,

Madhu: Stop.

They stopped a beach. As it was an evening time, they were little crowd but they both managed to go a little far in search of a quiet place. Madhu wanted to say him whatever she found but again she herself stopped. Something stopped her.

Rishu: Why so suddenly?

Madhu: No, I felt something heavy in my heart, that's why.

Rishu understood something is bothering her and he didn't nudge her. Madhu thought that he would ask her something but he didn't. Unknowingly, she felt different for him the very first time and she somehow understood that for the first time. She saw how calm and serene his face was. She was comparing the Rishab who was in college and the one in front of her. His qualities didn't change-the respect, the responsibilities and the only thing which changed was he grew into a handsome man, a MAN. His beard had been neatly trimmed and his hair - perfect for him. She was admiring the way she hadn't done until now. She had checked him out once, but now she admired him with a different feel. She didn't know how did this feeling came into her. Rishab who saw her starring at him, felt embarrassed and this time he was blushing.

Rishab: Madhu?

Madhu: Eh?

Rishab: What are you doing?

Madhu: Me? Why?

Rishab: Why are you checking me out?

Madhu: No, I didn't.

Rishab gave her a frowning face.

Madhu: How long did you know that they are sisters.

Rishab(mind): Oh! So, madam was thinking of the sisters.

Rishab: Few days back, and you don't worry. Nothing is to be worried.

Madhu nodded her head and turned away so that she shouldn't let her admire him. these new feelings were hard to control. They were new for her.

After a few minutes, a police-man came to them.

Police: What are you doing, here? Get up, you couples have no other place to go?

Rishab: No, sir. We are not couples

Police: Then? Siblings?

Madhu: No, sir.

Police: Don't try to fool me. I know you are couples. Disgusting people. Kids and elders are here, how could you? Get up and go away.

Rishab held Madhu's hand and got up from that place. Before going, Rishab turned to the police officer and said,
