"Ishaani zara jaldi chal le!" Nischay huffed angrily from downstairs
"Aap kya bolre ho mujhe, khud ne toh kam se kam 30 baar kapde badle honge uss ek date ke liye, tab time ki value nahi aayi?" Ishaani replied while she ran downstairs towards them and Abhishek couldn't help but laugh.
"Mujhe chhed ke ho gaya ho tera toh chal le ab" He said walking out and few of their men carried their luggage
"Hum jaa kahan rahe hain?" Abhishek questioned settling down in one of their fancy black cars with his other two siblings
"Hum jaa rahe hain Paris" Nischay said as he seated down in the front passanger seat
"Wo kyu?" Ishaani questioned
"Airport toh chal, pata chal jaayega" He said and Ishaani shrugged

As the reached the airport Ishaani's mouth dropped to the ground
She saw none other than her very own Ajey with Aman and Aanya, and he too had a somewhat same expression. This was because they were least expecting each other to be present.
After all, this was supposed to be a 'business' meet in Paris.

"Tum idhar?" Ajey questioned as everyone else walked in front of them
"Kyu? mera bhaai hai wo, mai nahi aaungi uske saath?" She whispered
"Kya baatein ho rahi hain?" Aanya came from almost out of nowhere and Ajey almost jumped "Kucch nahi dii, wo hume pataa nahi tha ki aap log bhi aarahe hain" Ishaani said while smiling "Business meet thi na didi?" Ajey too questioned
"Business meet hi hai" Nischay also joined in the conversation. And Ajey was happy that he was no longer that angry on him now "Bas combined business meet hai" he stated
"Matlab?" Ajey asked 
"Matlab tumhaari didi aur humaari company ek joint collaboration kar rahi hai, for electronics business, jiska head office and factory hai Paris me" He explained
"Aur kyunki humaari shaadi tay hone ki baat bhi media me hai, toh humaara wahan saath me jaana will be cherry on the top" Aanya said
"Acchaa..."
"Tumhe nahi pataa tha iske baare me?" Nischay asked Ajey
"Nahi bhaiyya, abhi toh college me hu mai, aur mereko waise bhi isme interest nahi hai.." he said looking down
Nischay patted his back slightly "arre toh kya hua, knowledge kahin se buri nahi.. sikhaa denge tumko bhi business" For the first time on facing Ajey, Nischay actually smiled 

Upon their parents insisting, Nischay and Aanya sat together while Ishaani, Ajey and Abhishek were too, in a separate 'compartment' and Rudraa and Aman were coming through another private jet.

"Why are you always on your toes?" Aanya questioned all of a sudden as Nischay peeped back to check on his bro-sis duo
"Bacche hain, bacchon waali harkatein karte hain.. dekhna toh padega na?" He said
'Why the hell is he being so chill these days?' Aanya wondered to herself as she settled down right beside him 

As she tightened the seatbelt around her, Aanya felt the fear inside her.
She was always afraid of travelling on a plane, specially when the airplanes landed or took off.
So as it did take off, she unknowingly caught hold of Nischay's shirt sleeve while the rest three sat far behind them, and enjoyed the scene and gossiped
He too turned to look at Aanya but she had shut her eyes close really tight and with every inch of the plane taking off towards the sky, her grip on his sleeve tightened and Nischay chuckled a bit.
She opened one of her eyes, and as soon as she did, she removed her hand from Nischay's.
"S-sorry" she stuttered looking away 'why the fuck are you stuttering Aanyaaa' she mentally cursed herself for her behaviour
"It's okay" Nischay said, though he giggled a bit in between and Aanya passed him a glare. This only made him giggle even more
"Jo ladki goliyon se nahi darti usko flight me travel karne se darr lagta hai.. strange" He remarked
"There are many things strange about me... you will come to know very soon" she said resting her head back and pretended to fall asleep
Nischay galnced back at his siblings and Ajey. they too wanted to get some sleep before reaching Paris, so he decided to sleep too

As soon as they got down, they were greeted by a huge mob of media persons and lots of cameras.
Well... two rival businesses don't come together too often, do they?
They waved slightly pretending to be the 'perfect couple' and went straight to the hotel
Their parents had arranged a party for them in the evening. And they were supposed to perform another 'publicity stunt' at the venue.
Until then, the two of coordinated with their new company staff through their phones and gave them instructions.
Later on, Ajey too hung around with Nischay and Aanya he was happy to explain him how work was done around there. He was learning few basics from him, and who could be better than Nischay Malhan himself?
They got along well now, and Aanya was happy.
