Omkara: Don’t worry Ishana, they are all ready.
Ishana: Acha, and the arrangements?
Omkara: I have explained the work to everyone, ma’am.
Ishana looked at him, and he started laughing.
Ishana: Om, here I am talking about work and you are finding it funny. I don’t want to talk to you. (She turns the other side)
Omkara: Are Ishana, I was just saying like that.
Ishana: No, I won’t listen to anything.
He makes her face him,
Omkara: So you won’t talk to me (She signs in negative) Are you sure, okay then.

Omkara: Let them come, I don’t care.
Ishana: Om, are you mad, leave me.

Ishana: Om, what is this? Put me down.
He looks at her and she looks at him.
(“Baadlon mein ghul naa jaye
Hain jo nagme thehre thehre
Do dilo mein jazb kar le
Saare jazbe gehre gehre
Kal kya pata mile Na mile
Nazdeekiyan O Saathiya
Kal kya pata mile Na mile
Nazdeekiyan O Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya
Saathiya Saathiya…….” Plays in BG)
Omkara: Ishana…
Before he could say anything, someone knocks the cabin door, Om immediately places Ishana down and she smiles at his antics.
Ishana: Come in.

Rudra was working on his laptop when Soumya comes there, Rudra sees her,
Rudra: Soumya, you, here in office? Is everything right at home?
Soumya: Do I need a reason to meet you? Can’t I come just like that? (She places her hands around his neck)
Rudra: Oh, so you are in a mood to romance. (He pulled her closer by holding her waist)
Soumya: No, not at all. (She pushed him away and laughs, Rudra is shocked) Look at your face (She laughs more)
Rudra: This is not fair yaar.
Soumya: Everything is fair is love and war.
Rudra: Acha (He pulls her closer) Then this is also fair.
Soumya: Rudra, leave me. This is office, someone will come.
Rudra: No one will come.
Rudra and Soumya look at each other.
(“Main mera dil aur tum ho yaha
Phir kyu ho palake zukaye khada
Tumsa hasin pehle dekha nahi
Tum isse pehle the jaane kaha
Jeene laga hu pehle se jyada
Pehle se jyada tum pe Marne laga hu….” plays in BG)
He was about to kiss her when someone knocks the door, Rudra takes a step back and Soumya laughs at him.
Rudra: I won’t leave you next time.
Soumya: Let’s see.
Rudra: Haa haa let’s see.
Soumya: Come in.
A man enters.
Man: Sir, this envelope is for you and Soumya ma’am, a man delivered it here.
Rudra takes the envelope from him.

Omkara: Open it and see, maybe the name is inside.
Ishana opens the envelope and reads the letter inside.
Ishana: It is an invite for a party, and (She checks for the name) it is from some Mr. and Mrs. Randhawa. I don’t know anyone by this name, do you?
Omkara: No, I don’t know anyone by this name.

Soumya: I think we should go, after all it is a party and parties are fun.
Rudra gives her “You-are-impossible” wala look,
Rudra: Really, Soumya, how can we go to any party like this.
Soumya: Come on Rudra, it’ll be fun. We are going and that is final.
Rudra nods his head at her antics, while she smiles.
OBEROI MANSION,
Pinky was sitting with Anika, they were waiting for someone,
Anika: Mom, how long do we wait like this? I have work to do.
Pinky: Oh ho, you have all the time for the world but can’t wait here for some more time.
Anika: Some time? Mom, we are waiting since half an hour, I am done. I am going and I don’t want to meet anyone.
Anika gets up to leave, she was about to go when she bumps into someone, the person immediately holds her and she holds his hand for support, they look at each other.
Pinky smiles seeing this.
Pinky: Karan beta, you got late.
Anika and Karan leave each other, he takes blessings from Pinky.
(Karan Arora will be played by Adhvik Mahajan – Currently playing Rakshit in Divya-Drishti)
Karan: Aunty, you know naa this Mumbai traffic. I am sorry, you had to wait so much.
Pinky: It’s okay beta. Meet her, she is my daughter Anika.
Karan: Hello, nice meeting you.
He smiles at Anika and she smiles back.
Pinky: You both sit here and talk, I’ll come.
Pinky smiles at them and leaves.
Anika: Please, have a seat.
They both settle down.
Anika was busy with her phone and Karan was looking at her.
Anika: I think staring like this is bad manners.
Karan: No… I mean… I am sorry.
Anika: Mom told me that you went to London Business School, I was also there, which batch?
Karan: Batch of 2011, you?
Anika: 2011, so that makes you my senior, I was in batch of 2012.
Karan: Well, that’s great.
Anika: I want to clear a few things, if we are going to do this.
Karan: Please, that’s not needed. I don’t judge a person by his/her past, present is all that matters.
Anika is surprised by his words, she is reminded of Shivaay.
Anika: Actually, mom wanted me to meet you and so…
Karan: It is okay, I understand. You need time and I respect that. So please, don’t think of all this as a formality. And even if this doesn’t happen, we can be friends, right?
He smiles at Anika,
Anika: Of course (She smiles back)
Pinky, Jhanvi and Dadi see this from a distance and are happy.
Pinky: I hope God brings back all her happiness.
Jhanvi: Everything will be fine.
OTHER SIDE,
Karan: I think I should leave now. It was nice meeting you.
Anika: Same here.
Karan leaves. Anika looks at him going.
Anika (thinking): He is so much like Shivaay… Or am I thinking too much… Shivaay… I hope I am doing the right thing.
AT NIGHT,
Om and Rudra were sitting and talking,
Omkara: You know what today, we got an invitation for a party.
Soumya: What, even we got an invitation for a party today.
OmRu turn to look at IshSou who come and sit with them,
Ishana: What a coincidence.
Rudra: But we got it from someone we both don’t know?
Omkara: Wait a minute, is the invitation from Randhawas.
Rudra: How do you know Bhaiya?
Ishana: Because, we got it from them.
Soumya: But do you know them?
Ishana: No, and that is what is confusing me.
Rudra: Well our questions will be answered only when we go to the party.
Soumya: Relax guys, I think we are thinking too much. It’s just a party and parties are for fun.
Ishana: Nothing can happen of you, you’ll never change.
Omkara: Ab jo hoga, us party mein hoga. So, let us wait till then.
Rudra: You are right Bhaiya.
That’s all for today.
