Scene at KM:

"Tum abi London wapas jaana chahte ho, Shanu" Taani was pacing d room in mid-night. ShaNak, ArVi n Rohan sat on sofa in a drawing room waiting for d discussion to be completed soon. Shanaya held her shoulders facing her. "U know na, Tannu. Bhai n bhabi needs me there." She tried to deliver d understanding statement. "Fine, per subah tak toh intezar kar sakte ho na" Taani asked in a hope atleast to spend little remaining time before departing again for years. "I'm really sorry Tannu, Shaan bhai ne already 3 baje ka ticket book karwa diya. It's really urgent." Shanaya looked earnestly. "I will miss u, Shanu" Taani hugged her. "By d way, I don't want u go away without confessing ur feelings to ur priced possession" She added surprising Shanaya to d wits. "I'm talking about, Rohan. Tume kya lagta hai, agar tum khud mujhe nahi bataogi toh mein kuch nahi jan paungi, haan?" Taani fondled her back making her pink. Shanaya frowned feeling awkward since she never shared this part of secret with Taani due to d fear of losing her friendship if her secret goes in a wrong way. "Chal, sabko good bye toh bolna padega na" Taani said, both moving out of d room.

Scene shifts to Gang:

D train whistled indicating its move. Gang moved into their compartment. "We did it, guys" Amar frisked in d seat. "Ab humarar khudka dance academy hogi!" Vicky dreamed solemnly. Everyone started singing in joy. Rey was smiling watching d dream of their gang to become true. "Swayam...." He turned to say something to him but immediately stopped. He was glaring Rey like an anaconda snake vying to gulp him in his throat. He was angry on Rey from d time of he kissed Taani publically. "Oh come on, Swayam. Tum toh kuch nahi karoge, iska matlab ye nahi hai ki Rey ko bi akal nahi hai." Sharon interrupted coming to d rescue of Rey. For a second, Swayam was confused. Slowly, understanding d meaning of her sentence, he frowned. Rey n gang chuckled. "What? Tumne kya kaha, Sharon?" He was befuddled. "Wahi jo tumne suna. Tum toh mujhe kabi publically kiss nahi karoge. At least be proud of them" She made an irritated face. He was embarrassed. "But, she's my sister." He tried to defend yet glaring Rey. "Oh, shut up, Swayam. She's grown up now." Sharon argued. Understanding further argument would lead them to danger, he hushed. "I'm not leaving u" He murmered to Rey. He just smiled flowing back to d memory of him kissing Taani. D warmth of her lips on his. He could yet feel it.

Scene shifts to KM:

D entire journey till d airport went in silence. Rohan drove d car. Taani wanted to speak to him but he didn't let her. Shanaya was sitting helplessly in d backseat between Purvi and ShaNak. As d car halted outside d airport, Taani excused accompanying Rohan to park d car, while rest of them padded inside.

Scene shifts to Mumbai:

"Swayam" Rey went after him after Swayam getting down at his house. He didn't speak. "Mein Taani ko kabi hurt nahi karungi yaar, I promise. Chennai pe jo bi hua, agar usse tumhe bura laga toh I'm sorry but I'm not sorry for kissing her. U know that." He confessed in a breath. Swayam was quiet. "Agar dubara kiss karni padegi na, please mera samne mat karna, Rey. Wo meri behen hai n I hate to c someone romancing with my little girl, even if its u" He warned stiffly. Rey nodded. "Toh tum gussa nahi ho na" He asked. Swayam raised his eye brow acting to think. "Chal, abi ke liye maaf kardiya" He grimaced, both bumping into a hug. Sharon who was watching them through d window of car beamed muttering "BOYS!"

Scene shifts to KM:

"Rohan? Tum meri baat sun rahe ho?" Taani was angry now. From d past 5 minutes she was trying to get his attention but he was lost. "ha... kya hua Titli?" He avoided to look at her. "Excuse me. Wo mera question hai. Ho kya gaya hai tumhe?" She was stern. "Mujhe kya hua" He shrugged. She forced him to turn to face her. "Aise devdas ki tarah rehne se kuch nahi hoga, idiot. Abi jaake tell her that u love her." She suggested. Rohan was shocked. Yes, he was angry that Shanaya was going back. He felt like some part of him was cut off. But he was actually not aware that he loved her till Taani assured him. "I LOVE HER?" He babbled to himself. "God! Romeo, just go now n tell her" She punched him in his stomach. "Ouch, Titli" He cried. "Agar abi tum nahi gayi na....." He didn't let her complete, he gave her a hug n ran off. She grinned making her way.

Rohan searched for Shanaya. Khanak n Purvi were sitting in d waiting hall. Shaan was with Shanaya completing d formalities. He wanted to run to her but he wanted to talk to her alone. Taani entered in at d same time. Understanding Rohan's dilemma, she called Shaan leaving Shanaya alone at d counter. Rohan winked to Taani thanking her. He ran n dragged her into a side. D corner was isolated. "Wo, Rohan. Kya kar rahe ho?" Shanaya winced. "Sorry" He let her hand. "Tum...." She waggled her gaze "mujhe yaha keenchke kyun aayi ho?" She asked. "Wo...."He struggled for a while. "I don't want to beat around d bush, Shanaya. Mein tumse directly bata deta hun. I LOVE U" He said. Her heart raced thumping d blood abnormally high. She froze gazing him in astonishment. She opened her mouth to say something but she immediately shut it when d words didn't come out. "I don't know tum mere liye kya feel karti ho but I really do love u. Ye baat samajne mein, mein itna der lagadi." He smiled twitching his head. "Wo..." He was shocked to see d freshly forming tears in her big beautiful eyes. "Hey, look. I didn't want to panic u. Agar tum mujhse pyaar nahi karte ho, then it's completely alright. Please tum ro mat." He cupped her face. She held his hands looking straight into his eyes. "Aapko eek baat bolu?" She asked for permission. He nodded yet in bewilderment. "Jab mein India aayi ti, yaha mein sirf Taani ke liye nahi aayi ti." He didn't understood what she wants to tell. "Taani se milne ke saath saath tumhe dekne ke liye ayi ti. I'm in love with u even before I saw u, Rohan" She finally confessed d truth. Rohan was utterly surprised. He didn't expect any such shocks. "Jab Taani tumhara bare mein mujhse baat karti ti, tabi mein tumse pyaar karne lagi ti." She smiled through tears. "Toh tumne mujhse kyun nahi kaha? Uparse hamesha tum mujhse jagadtete" He frowned. "Toh mein kya karu? Mein ladki hun, itna aasani se toh akke nahi keh deti. Wahi tumse jagadne ki baat, wo toh tum hi start karti ti hamesha" She complained. Both burst out of laughing. In instance, Rohan pulled her into a bone crashing hug. "Toh tume sach mein jana hai?" He asked yet hugging. She broke d hug n looked at him. "Tumhareliye mein zaroor wapas aungi. Wo bi bahut jald. Per abi mujhe jana hi hai" She blinked a sorry. He caressed her cheek uttering "Thank u". He kissed her fore head.

"What d?" Purvi stood up immediately seeing RoNaya holding each other arms like a love sick puppies. ShaNak joined her league of astonishment while Taani tread towards them congratulating in an embrace. "What's going on?" Shaan questioned suspiciously smiling. "Both are in LOVE bhai" Taani concluded. "I so knew it." Purvi jumped. "Meine aapse kehti tin a, bhabi. In dono ki beech mein kuch toh chal raha hai" Khanak smiled. "Finally, Rohan ki band bajanewali ladki uski life mein aa gayi" She teased. "What??????" He ran behind her in chasing while ShaNak giggled. Shanaya held Taani's hand mouthing a 'Thank u'. She shouldered her, bosoming in a side hug.
