Arjun entered his house.

Arjun: Maa I am hungry.

Avantika: jiji has gone to Mandir.

Arjun: chachi here is your report.

Avantika: Arjun, why are you smiling today all of a sudden? Anything funny?

Arjun became alert.

Arjun's POV

No way. I can't tell maa and chachi about that funny incident, else they would ask me a lot of bizarre questions which I don't want to hear or answer. And that Girl will also think something bad of me. I don't want to ruin my bachelorhood. I am damn sure maa and chachi would think of me getting married off. What will I say? Gotcha!

Arjun: nothing as such. Saw a couple fighting today in the hospital, felt that I am quite lucky. Thank god I don't have a wife.

Avantika: tum kabhi nahi sudhroge (you will never change). Arjun I don't know why are you so much against marriage.

Arjun: I don't believe in marrying someone whom I don't know. It is not like someone who doesn't believe in the institution of marriage itself. I believe in the institution but I don't feel it right for myself.

Avantika: understood. We have no problem with that beta. If you want to marry a girl of your choice we will agree, because we know you had a good choice.

Arjun: no more talks. I am really hungry.

A plate of grilled chicken sandwiches. His favourite.

Arjun: chachi I love you so much. If I had such a good chachi, why do I need to marry?

Avantika: so that she can feed you some Indian food like aloo ka paratha, chicken kabab and tikka and not pasta, grilled baked chicken

Arjun: no way..

Arohi finished off her tasks. She had an operation today. It was quite critical for her age and very little experience, but it was a success. She was very happy.

Everyone was happy with her success.

Arohi, Nikhil, Naina all went for celebrating her success.

They entered into Gulati

It was one of the best Indian restaurants in Delhi and quite close from their working place.

They worked in Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital

Arohi sat along with her friends. The menu card came. All ordered their favourites.

Arohi too asked for her favourite dishes.

Nikhil: Arohi don't you get tired of eating tandoori,tikka and kabab?

Arohi: noo'I just loved 'em.

Naina: one day will come when someone will hate these stuff and you would have to eat baked and grilled things and continental items.

Arohi: no way. I know to cook my own food.

Nikhil: I would love to see that day when You will lovingly eat risotto for your beau or husband.

Arohi showed her tongue.

Arnav was finding his way to fountain. There was a man. He was not alone. Anjali was also there. She was talking with him. Aradhana's special person? Indirectly she must have told him about Anjali and all.

Anjali: ok. Sorry baba.

Rahul: Jokes apart, Anna.

Anjali: you still remembered my name? I loved that name. Nobody called that for so many years.

Rahul: Yeah. Did you remember my name which you gave me?

Anjali: yeah. Should I say it loud?

Rahul: no Anjali. Please.

Anjali: Why are you so embarrassed. C'mon Rahul, you didn't change a bit. You remained shy like that till now. Hey look at there. Guess who is he?

Rahul: your brother?

Anjali: yeah, my elder brother Arnav.

Arnav came near them.

Rahul greeted him.

Arnav: nice to see you. Mr.?

Rahul: Rahul. Rahul Sharma.

Anjali: ok. You guys talk, I will be right back.

Arnav: Hey Rahul I am not into such formality cause I need to talk to for some important matter.

Rahul: yeah sure.

Arnav: I think my sister likes you.

Rahul: I know. I liked her or something more since college but hadn't got the guts to confess.

Arnav: Well, Anna likes you too.

Rahul: You also call her Anna?

Arnav: yeah. You too?

Rahul: yeah.

Arnav: hope I will be arranging a function like today within few months.
