Ru: that's Tia Kapoor, I call her lady baba because she's obsessed with Reiki and aura cleansing and all that

Chanda: Aren't Kapoors in business with you guys?

Ru: yes. And many times they've tried to take this business relationship to the next level. Mr. Kapoor suggested Shivaay bhaiyya's marriage with Tia. But obviously, bhaiyya refused. They would have merged Kapoor Industries after the wedding, which would have been one hell of a deal for bhaiyya, 400 crores. But he would never marry anyone for money

Chanda: Looks like they're having a good time

Ru: She just got back from the US after a year. They are pretty good friends for exes

A: She's his ex?

Ru: Bhaiyya hasn't told you anything about his dating history.

A: How many girls has he dated? He's clearly friends with all his exes

Chanda: Are you jealous?

A: What! No! I'm just curious and we're just friends and we're going to stick to that. So Rudra, how many?

Ru: Hmm (he counted on his fingers) 2.5

Chanda: Mallika, Tia and half?

Ru: Yeah, I consider Annika didi as half.

A: we never dated

Ru: Please, everyone saw your chemistry. Something was going on before Bhaiyya royally screwed things up.

A: When did they date?

Ru: They weren't together really, it was just a couple of dates



Shivaay came to meet them with Tia holding his arm

S: Hey guys, everyone's looking nice today (his eyes were only on Annika)

Tia: Shivaay baby, introduce me

A(in her mind): baby!

S: Guys this is my friend Tia Kapoor and Tia this is Annika and Chanda.

They chatted for a bit before some other guests dragged Shivaay and Tia along with them. Rudra went with them




A: She calls him Shivaay baby

Chanda: Yeah and Neil calls you honey, what's your problem?

A: When did I say I have a problem?

Chanda: It's all over your face. Fix it before anyone else sees you

A(in her mind): Am I really jealous? We're just friends, I can't date Shivaay. Stop this obsession Annika, you can't repeat your mistakes



The rest of the evening she kept noticing how Tia was clinging to Shivaay, how they were laughing together and how good they looked together. Two people from rich families, their parents were already interested in getting them hitched. They belonged to the same society and the cherry on the cake was the merger. Had Shivaay been interested, they would have been the power couple of the city.
