Everyone in the Desai Mansion was present on the dinning table having their breakfast with peace. But there was only one who was not present there.

" Where is Ritik, isn't he going to have his breakfast with us?" Anirudh grab everyone's attention.

But when Yamini was about to answer, they heard footsteps, it was Ritik who was looking handsome in his casual clothes. He took his seat, without saying anything to anyone.

" Ritik, today you are going to drop Devi to her office." Anirudh said digging in his food. Ritik just hummed still looking at his empty plate.

Devi saw his action, she took one paratha and put it in his plate. But still he didn't move his gaze.

Devi felt bad for him, after all he just did one mistake which was not trusting her. But she herself can't accept this relationship now, because she already love someone else.

She is feeling guilty looking at this state of Ritik. After all he was the only person, who helped her, and gave her equal value as him, who let her complete her education.

" I am done." Devi got up and looked at Ritik who was still staring at his plate like someone has served him, a kitten biryani.

Ritik got up and grab his car keys. Devi saw his plate where the paratha was laying like a lifeless body. Taking out her phone, she texted something.

Devi looked at Ira and sign her to check her phone, Ira nodded her head. Ritik who was already left from dinning area, without waiting for his little wife.

Devi ran behind him, following his track. Looking at her both Anirudh and Ira chuckled looking at each other.

" Just a week, soon we will celebrate his birthday." Ira said munching her food.

" Yes and it will be a grand celebration, decide what will we gift him." Anirudh sip water from the glass.

" But dadda, we are already preparing for a surprise, which will definitely shocked him." Ira, to which Anirudh chuckled.

But Yamini was looking at them with her furrowing eyebrow.

' Now what this father and daughter duo are planning. God please, don't trouble my Ritik anymore. He has suffered much.' Yamini said in her mind, praying for her son.

In the car

Devi was glancing at Ritik time to time, he was busy in driving while his focus was on road. But his little wife was getting bore.

No so sooner, her gaze fell on the cassette, kept near the front glass. She took it and looked at it in amazed.

" You still listen to this cassette?" Devi asked to which Ritik just nodded his head.

" But you can use pendrives right?" She try to expand their conversation.

" But I like old songs, I am not into today's song Chaar bottle vodka, Kaam Mera Roz ka." He said mocking like honey Singh.

A chuckle escape from her mouth when she heard him singing in his broken voice which was not less than Anu Malik

" Should I play a song for you?" Ritik asked to which she nodded her head in response. He put the cassette in the recorder.

" Sorry, if you don't like it because they are old songs." He played the song when the melody hit her ears, She looked at him.

Ye raaten ye mausam nadi

Ka kinaara ye chanchal hawa

Ye raaten ye mausam nadi

Ka kinaara ye chanchal hawa

Kaha do dilon ne ki mil kar

Kabhi na honge kabhi ham juda

Ye raaten ye mausam nadi ka

Kinaara ye chanchal hawa

" I never heard this song." She looked at him who just smiled at her words.

" Because kids from your generation just listen to hip hop, k pop and ping pong." He said which earn a chuckle from her.

" So you are old school." She laugh, Ritik looked at her, he got lost in her laugh. After a long time he saw her smiling with free heart.

" Yeah, after all I am 10 years older than you." He smile bitterly. Her smile vanish, she curse herself for saying such a thing which hurt him.

" I am sorry, Ritik ji I didn't mean it." She try to apologize to him.

She looked out when she didn't get any response from her. The song playing in the background while the mild breeze was hitting her face.

Ye baahon mein baahen

Ye bahaki nigaahen

Lo aane laga zindagi ka maza

Ye raaten ye mausam nadi

Ka kinaara ye chanchal hawa

She closed her eyes listening to the song. She was so lost in it that she didn't realised they already reached to her office.

" We are here." Her trace got broke by his voice. She looked at the building. Removing her seatbelt she got off from the car.

" Ritik ji, can you come to pick me?" She said with a cute face which he can never resist. He nodded his head with a smile. Both bid goodbye to each other.

Devi walked towards her office but Ritik was still there waiting for her figure to disappeared. Starting his car, he drove off from there.

Inside the office building

Devi check in and first thing she saw was her co-workers whispering something to each other. Few things fell on her ear.

" Isn't boss is favouring that Devi too much?" One of the colleague asked.

" Yeah you are right, he even sit with us to have lunch when he never did this, just because she sits with us." Another one added.

" I think boss likes her." One of them said.

" Or it seems like she will soon warm his bed for all his favours." They all laugh while passing high five to each other.

Anger was visible on her face, she was just an intern. She used to mind her own business, never care what other's think.

But now it was getting over her head, they keep on finding worsen way to degarde her like they hold personal grudges to her.

But she covered her angry expression with a calm one. She entered and ignoring them she sat on her chair and start to her work.

She was working on her computer when she got a call from Kavin, without wasting her time she pick it up.

" Miss Devi please come in my cabin." She just hummed and decline the call. Now she got why he is extra sweet to her.

She switch off her computer, and picking her phone she went towards his cabin.

Inside the Kavin's cabin

Devi knocked on door, when Kavin told her to come in. Devi walked towards him and stood infront of him.

" Miss Devi today I schedule a meeting in a restaurant so company me as a secretary." Kavin said looking at her.

" But sir today we don't have any meeting in restaurant." Devi said with confusion.

" It's a business partner, so kindly company me." Devi furrowed but just nodded her head.

" OK then we will have lunch there itself, be ready at 3 pm." He said earning a nod from her.

After taking permission she went out from his office. Devi came back and sat back on her seat. She lean back resting her back of the head on the chair.

In the restaurant

Both Devi and Kavin was sitting together in the restaurant. Devi was tapping the spoon on the table. Kavin was trying his level best to pull a conversation.

But Devi was just giving short replies. At the end she defeat, and begin to talk normally with him. They had some casual talk.

Kavin smiled at Devi, he slid his hand in his pocket feeling the small box. It was a small red velvet box. There was a diamond ring inside the box.

Kavin

Finally, my plan succeed. From few months I was planning for this moment. Today I am going to propose her and ask her for marriage. Today is a special day for me.

Silence filled the surrounding again. Kavin was about to say something when Devi's phone ring. She saw the caller ID and decline the call.

But Kavin's eyes fell on her wallpaper, a photo of a man. He didn't want to look clingy but he was curious about the photo on the wallpaper.

After a long dubet with his own mind, he eventually asked her.

" Whose photo is this?" The words blabbered out from his mouth. Devi looked at him with strange look.

Now Kavin was cursing himself under his breathe for this stupid question.

" He is my soon to be husband." Devi said casually but Kavin's brain froze for a moment. Seems like world around him stopped.

He was looking at her with his widen eyes, still unable to digest the fact that his love is going to get marry.
