The next day, Ram went to his office, he was lost somewhere, his best friend Adi, enters his cabin...
Adi:"Are, kaha khoya hua hai?.."
Ram's trance broke.
Ram:"Are yaar, kuch nhi bas aaj shaam ko date par jana hai.."
Adi:"Oh.."
Ram:"Jaan chahti hai ki me shaadi kar lu, usi ke liye.."
Adi:"What the hell!! Tu shaadi kar raha hai... Finally tu uss irritating Kriti ke dhokhe se bahar aaya.. Vese hai kon vo khushkismat?"
Ram:"Soch pehle humare group me hi thi.."
Adi:"Humare group me? Kon?"
Ram:"Thora dimaag laga, soch.."
Adi:"Nahi pata, batana ab.."
Ram:"Priya.."
Adi:"Priya? Priya Sood? (He nodded) Kya baat hai!! Tu use haa kar dena, usse acchi ladki tujhe mil hi nhi sakti.."
Ram:"Me bhi yahi soch raha hu... Agar vo haa kahegi to me bhi haa keh dunga... Kisi aur par mujhe bharosa nhi hai, lekin Priya par hai... Me use sab sach bata dunga ki mujhse ab kisi se pyar nhi hoga... Agar vo tab bhi mujhse shaadi ke liye ready hogi then I'll marry her.."
Adi:"That's really great.. (m) Tu bhale hi keh raha hai, par tera jo akela pan hai, use sirf pyar hi dur kar sakta hai... Tujhe bhi apna saccha pyar milega.."
On the other hand Priya was very nervous... She was roaming here there in her room..
Ritika:"Di? Itna kyu ghabra rahi hai tu? Me jaanti hu Ram ko vo bohot acche hai"
Priya:"Vo achha hi hai, par tu kese jaanti hai... Let me guess... Shardul right...?"
Ritika:"Umm... Ha... Par tu vo sab chod aur ye bata ki isme nervous hone vali kya baat hai?"
Priya:"Vo actually... mene tujhe bataya tha na ki.. umm... m-me kisi se pyar karti h-hu.."
Ritika:"Ha, to?"
Priya:"Umm.. Vo Ram hi hai.."
Ritika:"WHAT?!! That's amazing!! To tu itna stress kyu le rahi hai? Ye to accha hai na ki, tu jise pasand karti hai usi se teri shaadi ho rhi hai.."
Priya:"Baat vo nhi hai Riti.."
Ritika:"To kya baat hai?"
Priya"Baat ye hai ki... Vo mujhse pyar nhi karta..."
Ritika:"Par tu esa kyu soch rahi hai? Ho sakta hai vo bhi tujhse pyar karta ho..."
Priya:"Nhi, mujhe pata hai, vo mujhse pyar nahi karta.. Vo Kriti se pyaar karta hai.. School me ye sab ko pata tha... Aur 10th ke baad jab Kriti ne modelling school join ki tab bhi vo dono saath the.. Mujhe pehle lagta tha ki shayad ab vo dono saath nhi hai, par ek din mene unhe saath me park me dekha tha.... That broke my heart again.."
Ritika:"Par esa ho sakta hai ki, ab unka break up ho gaya ho.."
Priya:"Haa, ho sakta hai.."
Then Priya's phone rang. She was shocked..
Priya:"Oh God.. Ab ye mujhe kyu call kar raha hai.."
She picked up the call..
Priya:"H-Hello.."
Ram:"Hello... Hi Priya"
Priya:"Hii.."
Ram:"Umm.. Tumhari mom me tumhe bataya hoga, right?"
Priya:"Haa bataya hai.."
Ram:"To aaj shaam ko mile? 5 pm? Will it be ok for you?"
Priya:"Haa... Me free hi hu.."
Ram:"Ok then, me location send kar dunga tumhe.."
Priya:"Ok... Let's meet at 5.."
Ram:"Haa... (m) Ab kya karu... Bye bol du? (To her) Esa ho to me tumhe pick up kar lunga.."
Priya:"Thank you par me khud aa jaugi.."
Ram:"Ok.. B-bye.."
Priya:"Bye.."
She hanged up.
Ritika:"Kya bola?.."
Priya:"Milne bulaya hai 5 baje..."
Ritika:"Oh that's amazing.. Dekh unka saamne se call aaya, so vo bhi chahte hoge..."
Priya:"Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha, me khush hou ya nhi... Agar usne mujhe isliye milne bulaya hoga ki vo mujhe Kriti aur uske relation ke baare me bataye aur mujhe soory kehke vaha se chala gaya, toh?
Ritika:"Are yaar, dii tu negative kyu soch rahi hai.. Sab accha hoga, ok?"
Priya:"Hope so..."
Ritika:"Vese unhone tujhe lift offer ki thi?"
Priya (smiling):"Haa.."
Ritika:"Oh that's so sweet... He is really very sweet.."
Priya:"Indeed he is.."

At Ram's side.. He was getting ready for the date... Shardul Adi and Bri were present there..
Shardul:"Tu Priya di se milne jaa raha hai... To unse baat kya karega?"
Adi:"Vese Priya ko Priya di kyu bula raha hai tu?"
Bri:"Adi, vo Ritika ki sister hai na, isliye.."
Shardul:"Are, vo sab chodo aur jo puch hai uska answer dena bhai.."
Ram:"Kuch socha nhi hai.."
Adi:"Pata tha, tujhse kuch nhi hone vala..."
Ram:"Are, mujhe kuch samajh nhi aa raha, sab kuch to mujhe pata hai uske baare me... Pehli baar thodi mil raha hu usse me..."
Bri:"Ram, tum date par to uske saath pehli baar jaa rahe ho naa..."
Adi:"Exactly... Kya baat karega tu?"
Ram:"Are yaar, mujhe nhi pata, tum log batao kuch..."
Adi:"12th ke baad college kesi thi... Studies? Aur vo ab professionally kya kar rahi hai..."
Ram:"Ok... Ab baat ko aage kese le jana hai vo me dekh lunga... Ab mujhe jaane do.."
Shardul:"Ok, bye and all the best, Ram"
Adi/Bri:"All the best, Ram "
Ram:"Thank you.."
Shalini entered.
Shalini:"Thank you Ram, tune meri baat maani.."
Ram:"Maa, aap ese kyu bol rahi hai.. Me hamesha aapki baat maanta hi hu, to kese mana kar sakta hu.."
Shalini:"Ok, theek se baat karna and all the best.."
Ram:"Thanks maa.."
He went out..
On Priya's side.. She was getting ready, roaming here and there in her room feeling nervous. She wore a simple kurti..
Ritika:"Di, mene kaha na itna nervous mat ho.."
Priya:"Nervous to houngi hi na.. pehli baar date par jaa rahi hu Ram ke saath.. Pata nhi kya hoga.."
Ritika:"Vese, tune ye simple kurti kyu pehni hai..."
Priya:"Kyu? Nhi pehen sakti.."
Ritika:"Pehen sakti hai, par tu simple lag rahi hai.."
Priya:"Ha to mujhe simple hi pasand hai... Aur acchi to dikh rahi hu... Me yahi chahati hu ki me jesi hu vesi hi rahu, koi dikhava nhi karna..."
