PART 68
"Are you talking of Aarav, Roli's friend?" asks Siddhant. "Ya...Him only..." replies Rithik. "But why??? What can he do in this matter?"asks Sid with a quizzical expression. "Because I think he's the best person we can consult for this matter...Siddhant...You know, Aarav's group is one of the best companies in the Indian market now...He knows all the marketing strategies and besides he has got good connections overseas...I'm sure, if he comes to know about all these, he'll definitely help us out..." explains Rithik. "But..." begins Sid. "Don't worry Sid. Everything will be alright..." consoles Rithik. "Hmmm...Sid nods whilst Rithik and Ahaana shares a smile with him.
Much later. In Aarav's office. Rithik and Sid walk in to Aarav's cabin expectantly. Sid had changed to formals, shaved and trimmed his hairs to get free from his loser look. He knew that he has been goofing up big time, but time has come to correct everything. But he is definitely nervous at this new step. But thinking of Roli, and the hope of reuniting with her, he feels determined. They enter the cabin closing the door. Aarav looks up at Rithik, smiles at him and watches Sid doubtfully as he hasn't met him yet. "Come Bro...Sit..." says Aarav as she rises and pulls chairs for Rithik and Sid. Sid smiles at Aarav which he returns though doubtfully. The duo takes their seat whilst Aarav settles to his. "what's up Rithik????Why you came in so abruptly???" asks Aarav as he feels doubtful at the sudden meeting. "Why??? Can't I walk to your place when I feel like?" questions Rithik with an obvious smirk. "No no...bro...You are always welcome here...But I was little confused as you called me saying it's important...that's why... explains Aarav. Rithik leans back to his chair and intertwines his fingers as Aarav and Sid watches. "It's something emergency as I told you..." clears Rithik. "Okay...come out with it..." says Aarav. "Aarav..Did you get who's he" asks Rithik as she points at Sid. Aarav watches him keenly but gets no clue. "I'm sorry..but I can't figure out...' mumbles him. "You can't get as you never met him before..But you know him...he's your best friend's hubby..."says Rithik. Aarav watches over like he has seen some ghost. His best friend's hubby??? Means...Roli's...Does it means that he's... "Siddhant???" questions Aarav with horror in his eyes. Rithik nods making Aarav shocked. "You bloody..." Aarav shouts as he quickly grabs Sid's collar. Rithik goes in panic mode as Aarav stretches his arm to knock Sid's jaw. "hey stop Aarav..." he mumbles as he pulls an angry Aarav form Sid who's not responding to his attack. "Rithik... What's this???Why are you stopping me??? Since I came to know this guy's deeds na, I badly wanted to hit him...Kill him...What mistake did that poor girl do to him to punish her like that? Come on speak you monster" he lashes out. Sid just doesn't say anything. One way he feels that he has to go through all these for his erroneous acts. Rithik manages to console Aarav and make him sit at his place. "Aarav... just listen..just listen what I got to tell and then act..Please..." requests Rithik. "What Rithik? What you got to say about bringing this guy here??? Come on speak up..." he demands. "just wait..I'll tell you everything... says Rithik as he calmly starts to explain the truth behind the happenings.
