VR MANSION:
11:45PM

The car came to a halt at the Parking Area....All four of them got out of the vehicle and instead of going inside the house they went towards their backyard

Reached the Abandoned Plant nursery....And opened the door....as they saw a set of steps leading to another Big door....Which they opened after putting password and walked into

And saw a guy sitting there furiously typing through the computers

"Kuch pata chala Arhaan?" Rehansh questioned

"Number already blocked hai Rehan Bhai!aur location bhi nahi pata chal raha hai uska..."

"Talk about dead end!"Shivin groaned

"That's where you're wrong! I found this gang....in Alibaugh...the only street gang there...that's famous for stealing and selling valuables like exquisite meat, Vintage cars, Antiques Diamonds ,family Heirlooms etc...in their Auction that they hold mostly every two months.... Those who have the invitation can only go...so I'm pretty sure that jatin was indicating this gang!" Arhaan answered

"Not bad Arhaan!" Vansh patted his back

"Well when's the next auction?" Rehansh asked

"Yeah it's this weekend...I mean Sunday 24th January.."

"Okay is there a way we can get invites?" Arav asked

"As much as I learned about them...they only invite their previous or regular clients or even the people their regular clients requested for...And aren't even remotely known to them...And mostly they have knowingly stole our diamonds...so there's no way we are getting an invite.... Atleast not that I know there's a way!" Athaan replied

When Rehansh smirked ,"If there is Will there is a way little brother...And I have zeal to redeem my diamond...Now I want you to...."

January 20,2021:
VR OFFICE BUILDING:
5:30PM:

"Hey can I meet Mr.Rehansh Raisinghania please!"

"Sure ma'am... sir's in a meeting which will be done shortly...what's your name??" The receptionist asked

"It's Arya..Arya Trivedi!" She replied

"Sure ma'am...you could wait at the waiting room...I would call you soon!" The receptionist directed her towards the waiting room

Ten minutes later.... Rehansh Hurriedly ran towards the waiting after getting his Receptionist's call

"Heyy! Arya! I'm sorry I was late...uh I-"

"Hey it's fine Rehan...I just wanted to check on you...Make sure you're fine...I didn't know your home address so I came all the way here... Because you didn't take my calls since two days!" Arya said

"I..uh..I was busy lately...But Thank you for coming all the way here...!Come let me show you around!" He cheerfully held her hand in his and led her towards all the main places in his office and showing her around...His own cabin...While all workers and employees were looking at the new woman walking with their always serious boss...Some surprised, Some were jealous....as others started making theories of who this woman could be, whether would start working here or will she be taking over a new head position or something even crazier would happen...Above all of that....Arya surely became a hot topic all around the office.... Suddenly the manager called Rehansh for something important so he went into the manager's cabin...and Arya waited outside for him

"Oh look who's here....An attention seeking whore!" A screechy voice said but however Arya just continued scrolling through her insta feed.. unintentionally ignoring the Woman who was glaring at her angrily because she didn't really think that woman was referring to her

"I'm talking to you bitch! What are you doing with my Rehan huh!? Stop sticking to him he's mine! Do you bloody understand?" The woman spoke tightly pressing Arya's hand making her wince but Arya quickly pushed her hands off

"Well excuse me you clearly misunderstood the whole situation here...so just go back to your work miss!" Arya said calmly

"It's Dharini Sakpal...And a bitch like you... shouldn't be anywhere near my Rehan! Classless whore!" She yelled insults

"First of all stop your bad words Miss. Dharini...and secondly you don't own Rehan or any person in that matter...!" Arya said sternly

"Oh I own him..he's mine...My boyfriend...He would only like someone with class...you can never be anything to him even if you are warming his bed for now!!" Dharini smirked

"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU!"his voice boomed through the place....as he had just heard the way this woman had insulted his lady love  and falsely claiming to be his girlfriend

"Rehan.." Dharini whispered in shock

"It's Mr.Raisinghania for you ....And how the hell are we in a first name basis....I'm your Boss ...Have some respect Miss...and YOU'RE FIRED!!" Rehansh yelled loosing his patience

"What!?" Dharini stood shocked

"You cannot just go around randomly insulting my friend like that! Not only you.. everyone else needs to know the consequences of doing so! NOW GET OUT! Your Resignation letter should be on my table in 5 minutes!!" Rehansh commanded making Dharini feel humiliated as she ran off to her table making Arya smile in victory how her friend sided with her...it just gave her a good feeling at heart...a feeling that she couldn't name or understand as of now but it felt weirdly good to her.....While he turned to Arya

"I'm so sorry Arya...I shouldn't have left you alone here..I should've-"

"You don't need to apologise Rehan...it's fine...she's Psycho maybe...so I don't mind...and thank you for taking my side....it means a lot!" She gratefully smiled at him

"Come on Arya... friends mei no sorry...no thank you...!And I will Always be by your side" He chuckled taking her in a side hug..But his heart knew how much he meant those words for her....as they walked out of the office hand in hand....They drove off in his car to the place Arya suggested.

The Storybook Cafe:
6:00PM

"So here's one of my favourite cafe's around here! I like Oreo Milkshake here...as I read one of the books from the book shelf..." Arya explains as they settled down on their seats after giving their orders

"So what are you reading right now??"He asked

"Currently I'm reading... Beautiful World , Where are you by Sally Rooney....it's a quiet love story centers around Alice, Felix, Eileen and Simon — four people trying to find their way in the world. Romantic entanglement ensues....pretty interesting I would say!"

"So you like Romantic Genre!?" Rehansh asked

"Um...not generally...I usually like more of mystery thrillers..." Arya added

"Oh..what are your favourites??"

"A Time for Mercy, The law of innocence, Moonflower Murders"

"Moonflower Murders that's my favourite too...and have you read Clive Cussler...!" He enthusiastically asked

"Nope?...what's it about?"

"It is about Juan Cabrillo and the crew of his ship, the Oregon, to stop a terrorist plot to release a deadly chemical weapon across the globe...So thrilling..so many damn twists ....it literally keeps you on your toes till the last page...!" He expressed

"Oh Wow...I'd love to read that!! I would surely borrow it from you someday!"

"Sure! You should come to my house someday!" He said

"Oh okay!! I'll surely come!" She smiled as their orders arrived

"You wanna try some??" Arya asked

"Sure" he smiled liking the idea....and Put his straw in her Drink to take a sip...as he looked at pretty almond eyes... Lost in her beautiful eyes...he couldn't help but kept staring at her eyes....Even she was not any different as she stared right back at his eyes...As they both forgot their surroundings and continued looking at eachother's eyes...One experiencing what it is like being in love while the other one... couldn't put a name on her feelings for now...But however to both of them it felt so good...good enough to forget ones Own surroundings

"Rehan!" A deep voice called him... snapping them both out of the trance...as their heads whipped to the direction of the voice...And that's where Vansh Raisinghania stood at the entrance to the cafe...and is now approaching them

"Ansh!? Tum yaha!" Rehansh asked annoyed by the fact that his twin just ruined a moment between him and his lady love

"Yeah We have a important meeting...you need to come!" Vansh informed

"Well hello to you too Mr.Raisinghania!" Arya sarcastically said not knowing why his presence was bothering her right now..

"Whatever...right now is not the time to waste you know...so Rehan chalo!!" Vansh urged him... Rehansh was definitely torn between the two.. Firstly if vansh is urging him so much it's something definitely important...At the same time He cannot just walk out of this cafe leaving Arya alone...I mean he didn't want to go away from her right now just when things are going great.

Seeing Rehansh's discomfort...
"It's okay Rehan! You should go....after all it's an important meeting!" Arya said politely

"Aisa nahi Arya I can just-"

"Don't procrastinate Work Rehan...we could catch up tomorrow!"Arya assured

"That's the problem Arya...I'm gonna be busy this week so...I'll be out of town for few days!" He explained

"It's okay..Rehan...You should go...We can hang out sometime later too...so never mind!" Arya added

"Okay...So come on let me drop you home!"

"Oh no need for that...I will read this book for now and then go home by myself...so you can be worry free...!"

"Okay! I'll miss you!"

"I'll miss you too...finish your work this week and next week we will surely hang out!" She replied making him smile in satisfaction that his lady love would like to wait to have some time with him and hang out with him...While Vansh he was surely annoyed at their talks...and dragged poor Rehansh From there before his conversation with Arya grew longer... As  he knew how they talk for hours and hours on a call and also whenever they met no matter the location...He hasn't ever seen his brother talk so much...and now it's alarming to him but our dear hero Rehansh who's in love doesn't give a damn about it...as his only focus was to spend time with his lady love..

Sighing heavily he went along with Vansh leaving Arya to read her book

Sarvodaya Apartments:
10:00PM
The bell Rang making Arya to go get the door...she was absolutely surprised seeing Rehansh standing there with an apologetic smile

"Heyy! I just couldn't help but feel guilty about leaving you like that in the middle of our conversation!" He apologized

"Come in Rehan what a pleasant surprise!!" She invited,"It's fine Rehan... you're just overthinking...I understand you're a businessman...you will definitely have some sort of important things to attend to...And Honestly I don't mind...!" Arya explained making his smile widen at how understanding his lady love was with him

"So how about you and I go for a long drive?"Rehansh suggested

"Right now?"

"Yep ofcourse!"

"Suree! I would love to go with you!" She happily agreed,"wait let me wash my face and fix my hair...I'll be right back!" She Hurriedly stood up but stumbled upon the carpet and almost fell forward  when Rehansh held her

"Hey! You should be careful Arya! Don't be so hasty...take your time!" He bent down and looked at her , worry written all over his face and assured her after making sure she was fine...While she couldn't help but feel kinda dizzy how fast he caught her before she fell...How worriedly he looked around for injuries...His oh so gentle hold on her waist and how softly he talked to her...All she could do was nod silently and just to run off to restroom not being able to answer him making him feel worried if he had made her uncomfortable but he still didn't figure out what to do...As for Arya she could just stare at the mirror and question herself why did she even wanted to stay in his arms like that....why did she desire that closeness...why did she feel irked when Vansh Raisinghania interrupted their talks and took him away for an apparently important meeting....why does she like spend time with him...why his absence  make her miss him so much she just decided to go to his office....But unfortunately all she had was a Series of Question with no fucking answer...She just splashed some water on her face so that she could just focus more on this very moment than her questions that has been distracting her way  more than she could Admit to anyone even herself.... Taking a deep breath she just walked out of the bathroom and maintained her calm demeanor unlike the storm of questions swirling inside her.

"Let's go!"he said  admiring her simple looks...and how radiant her face was everytime he met her....He always liked her contagious smile that has lightened up his day everytime he met her... Getting in to the car they soon started their long drive...As only Silence could be heard in the car...Both of them in their own thoughts...One being totally confused about her feelings trying to figure out what is it or why is it....while the other one confused about how to tell his feelings or what would be the possible reaction to it...Atlast being tired of all this silence Arya decided to break the ice

"Hey...uh Can I ask you something?" She asked

"Sure Arya...you don't need permission for that!"He chuckled

"Yeah...okay...so...you...do you have a girlfriend or.uh..like a crush ?" For some reason she did feel a dread creeping up in her heart as she put the question forward

"What!? No..I don't have a girlfriend!" He sighed making her sigh for some reason that she again didn't know what for

"But I do have a crush!" He blurted out

"What!?"she turned to him in shock

"So...yeah i have a crush...on this girl..!" He hesitantly admitted

"Who is it!?" Her voice coming off a little rude but he didn't sense that due to  his nervousness

"You'd meet her soon...I will surely tell you...I mean tell her I like- I mean I love her...so yeah..you know!" He fumbled in his words

"Oh so you haven't told her anything? Why though??"  She questioned

"Um..It's just like...My brother told me to know her first and then proceed with Anything...but you know right...your feelings aren't in Your control so I have strong feelings for her but I-uh..I am still trying to know her better!" He explained his cheeks slightly turning pink...

"Is that a blush I notice??Aww you're blushing" Arya asked in a babyish voice pulling cheeks making him whine

"Accha anyways....So what do you plan on knowing about her?"she seriously asked

"HER!" He answered

"Her!?"

"Yeah all about her!" He answered smiling

"That's um...Pretty big thing...and a long process might I add...so why don't you tell me her name and I get to know her...for you ofcourse...so if we both do it together it will be covered sooner right...and you would know soon...if she's the one??" Not even herself Only the lords knows why she was getting so impatient to know about his crush or atleast get her name

"Arya...See I like how much you wanna help me...But this is my love...and I would love to know her myself and...Also I know you would do a great job in knowing her personality but I would prefer to do it myself!" He said trying to get her off the topic knowing very well she knows herself pretty good...and also that he was still scared of her reaction to his proposal so he wanted to postpone the proposal...call it Coward...but he wanted no damage to their friendship with all these proposals...so he kept his mouth tightly shut for now! Only for now....He would tell her everything soon...and with that determination in his heart he drove around for longtime....as he was successful in taking her mind off the crush topic and focus on others while they enjoyed the long drive and cool breeze of the night
