'See I am not playing blame game here, we all are past that... But one thing that I want you to know, this Ananya is created by you, try to analyse what she is, what is going on in her mind and act accordingly...' Ved pats his shoulder

'I don't know Ved, even I am tired with myself, It's like I don't need anyone to destroy me, I am perfectly capable by myself to do that...'

'Everyone has their share of struggles Aayan, we all are struggling, your parents separating was an unfortunate thing, but you making it as a base to judge everyone and get things done according to you is also not justified...' Aayan nods to agree

'We know you suffered, but so did Nitaara Di, do you see her getting impulsive in every matter ? I agree you two are different personalities, but what you both are today, is the outcome of a same situation, she used it as her strength and you made it your misery....' Ved pats his shoulder

'It's not too late to change buddy, but no one can do that for you, it lies inside you, and trust me, only you can do that...' Ved smiles and Aayan nods

'So what do I do now...?' Aayan asks confused

'Better focus on starting your work right now, we'll see what you can do for Annie later...' Ved suggests

'Yeah, Maybe focusing on work will prevent me from going crazy...' Aayan agrees

5 p.m.
The social cafe, New Delhi

Ananya sat on the high raised chair, holding her coffee mug, her legs crossed under the table and her back leaning against the backrest

She was waiting for Sameer, who wanted to meet and talk about something... Wedding anxiety maybe... She thought

She took a sip of her coffee and events from last night flashed in her mind

'Uh... I heard you talking and became curious, so...'
'You have no idea how many lives are dependent on you...!'
'But I love you Ananya...'

His voice rang in her ears and she closed her eyes in frustration...

He still doubts me, his insecurity hasn't gone...

I am certain that he is still impulsive and therefore won't take any chance by trusting this man again...

My life has more important things to deal with, than this drama...

The sound of snapping of fingers, broke her train of thoughts and she opens her eyes, to see Sameer sitting in the high chair opposite to her, leaning against the table, staring at her amusingly..

'Wow, drinking coffee with closed eyes...! This is a new thing...' He teased and called for the waiter

'Shut up...' she hits his arm and keeps her coffee mug on the table

'I'll have a Latte, and a Cheesecake please...' Sameer says to the waiter

'One for me too....' Ananya says and dismisses the waiter

'Someone has left the dieting phase...' Sameer raised his brows

'Long back...' Ananya rolls her eyes

'I wish I was as lucky as you, eat all you want and don't get fat...' he sighs

'I am lucky to get my father's side  metabolism, because all of them are surprisingly fit and manage to look young even in their sixties.... Good genes...' she takes a sip of her coffee

'Yeah, and your husband's side has balding issues I guess... Is it only me or even you think that Aayan's hairline is receding....'

Ananya stiffened at his mention, and no Aayan's hairline wasn't receding, he just lost a lot of weight... Sameer is being paranoid...
