Next day in the office

Rishi was sitting in his cabin. He was checking on the new projects.

'May I come in sir ?'His P.A knocked the door asking permission to enter.
Rishi nodded.

'Sir ,this is the file you asked for 'He said this by handing over the file to him.Rishi took the file from his hand.

'Do we have any meetings or appointments this week?'Rishi enquired  his PA.

'Yes sir.There is a meeting with Nagarjuna sir about the upcoming project.'PA replied to him.

'Okay...you may go now 'Rishi told him.

He nodded and went outside the cabin.

Introducing Nagarjuna Akkineni as Nagarjuna

Nagarjuna was his father's friend and they were settled in London. He has a daughter named Nidhi.
Introducing Kajal Agarwal as Nidhi

She had a hidden crush on Rishi since he was studying in abroad. Nidhi was also studying in the same college where Rishi was studying. She disliked the girls coming near him and taught them several GOOD lessons to be remembered of.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Rishi's home
Meanwhile in his house,his parents were discussing about the marriage for Rishi.

'What are you thinking Prakash?'Lakshmi,his wife asked him.

'I was thinking about Rishi's marriage Lakshmi. He is 27 now. Are you not thinking about this?'He asked.

'Yes...I was also thinking about our son's marriage. But he is telling that he doesnot want a marriage now. 'She replied to him.

'But.....'He was about to say something when Lakshmi interrupted him.

'Don't think much Prakash. Our son will find a perfect girl for him. Iam sure.Let'swait 'Lakshmi consoled him.

Her words soothed him no matter how tensed he was.

'Ok...let's wait.'He said.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Priya was washing the clothes when Divya came towards her.

'Hey..you' She snapped at Priya.

She turned back.

'Yes...do you want anything my sister?'She asked her politely.

'Sister..what?Iam not your sister.You are just a servant to me.You have no one.You're an orphan....A burden.'Divya yelled at her.
(Sorry guys...Iam also damn pissed off with this lady 😡)

'You're my sister...so i thought of calling you. '

'SHUT UP!!!She interrupted her.

Her eyes began to well up with tears. Within a fraction of seconds the pain rolled down her cheek.

'Don't show me your crocodile tears. I came here to inform that my friends will be coming tomorrow. So you've to prepare some NICE food to them. Is it clear ?'She yelled.

'Yes....I'll make.'Priya said between her sobs.
.................................................................................

After sometime Rana entered Rishi's cabin.

'Rishi...you'reunnoticing me these days .What happened bava?' Rana asked him.

'What...nothing .'He stuttered .

'Hey...do you consider me as your friend?'

'What sort of a question is this Rana?youre more than a friend to me.' Rishi answered back.

'Then tell me what's the problem?'

'Btw..how is your girlfriend doing bae?is she Fine?'Rishi diverted the topic.

"Are you serious or trying to become one tough guy?.....and you know one thing ,Nidhi is also coming with her father this week for this meeting. '

'And why is that?'Rishi enquired him.

Rana shrugged off his shoulders as his reply.

'Ok..leave it ...take this file..'He handed over the file to him.
Check this and mail the review of this before the evening. 'Rishi added.

'Nowadays you're avoiding me very much and giving many jobs too.'Rana pouted.

After all this is your job ok?'He replied back.

Rana glared at him and went outside the cabin. Rishi was in no mood to answer his questions and he was pleading the time to go faster as he wanted to meet her asap.
_____________________________________________

It was 5 in the evening and he got out his cabin. Soon Rana entered Rishi's cabin to find him missing .He looked outside the window to see Rishi getting inside his car.Rana was eager to know about his friend and decided to follow him.

Meanwhile Priya was purchasing some more vegetables as Divya's friends were coming the next day.While she was paying the money to the shopkeeper,She noticed two men beside her looking her with lustfuleyes. Priya felt uncomfortable with the look on her.

The shopkeeper handed over the bag of vegetables to her. She took the bag and started to walk back towards her house. But those two men were following her.Her heart started beating fastly. Soon a person got hold of her wrist.

'Leave me...please ..leave me.'She pleaded.
She was struggling with her wrist.

'What's the hurry young lady?Are you alone?Come with us. 'The first man spoke.

'Even we're alone too....Give us a company. 'The second one said.

She really felt disgusted at these comments and began running. But between her running they took off her dupatta .

Soon she collided with a manly figure. She was panting out of her breath. Priya checked to find that it was Rishi. She hugged him tightly and started crying. He hugged her back and consoled her. Rana was also witnessing all these.

Rishi went towards them and before they could run Rana got hold of them. Rishi was surprised to see Rana there. But it was not a time for the quiz section. So he avoided that .Both of them started punching those guys

'Don't you have any sisters at your houses?
F***ing morons....first try to RESPECT A WOMAN. Dare i see you again in this place,then be ready to confront the beast inside me.
Is it clear ?'Rishi shouted at them.

'Yes...yes ..sir..'they stammered.

Both of them went towards her and after mumbling a sorry,they handed over the dupatta and went. Priya wore it.

'So...He is my friend,Rana 'Rishi pointed at him.

'Hai...'she said.

'And Rana...this is Priya.'

'Ohhh...you're Priya....you know what ,because of you he is unnoticing me these days. Now i know he reason behind this..'Rana winked at Rishi.

'Ouch...that hurts bava '...Rana pouted.

Priya chuckled lightly.
