Scene at Khandelwal mansion:

Shanaya pranced around d lobby at early morning, spots Rohan depressively standing. She smiled empathizing d reason behind his crestfallen face. She minced at him n held his hand. He turned back conceiving d ticklish touch. He was dumbstruck by her act, crossed his looks from her hand to face.

"Come with me" she dragged him out of d place without waiting for his response. But he didn't stop her, instead followed in full of fascination.

Scene shifts to ArNi:

"U..." Arjun leaned forward to attack d person he hated most. "How dare u?" he threatened d person in disgust. "owww..." D person faked a sympathetic smile. "Itna bi gussa teek nahi hai Mr.Singhania" d person spoke seductively moving closer to him.

"Well, Ms. Alina Mehta [U all thought it was a guy r8 but oops, it's a girl yaar, that's y I mentioned as person in d previous update], u better stop messing with us" Taani charged her. "Oh... mein toh dar gayi re baba" Alina laughed humorously. She stepped in front of Taani. "Don't forget ki meri life ka mess tumne start ki hai...Mein itni aasani se tumhara peecha chodne wali nahi hun" she huffed.

"Look... Kisne kya kiya, ye hum sab jante hai. So it's worthless to waste ur energy on us." Arjun interfered. "Now, please excuse us Ms. Little grumpy head". He held Taani's hand n walked upto their adjoining rooms. Alina boiled aggressively at ArNi for insulting her yet again.

"Jitna uchalna hai, utna uchalo...U'll payback for everything..." she thought, cheesing off d place.

"Ye kuch na kuch zaroor karegi" Arjun gritted in rage on their way to room. "Tum itna tension kyun le rahe ho. Wo humara kuch nahi bigaad payegi, chill" Taani becalmed him.

Scene shifts to gang:

Gang had reached Chennai. They hauled 2 cabs to d "Natyalaya" where d actual event will be held. Since, d journey was very long, everyone directly checked into d dorms allotted for D3 gang. Since it was already morning, everyone except Rey drifted to late night sleep to refresh their mood for d next day to look perfectly excited for their performance.

Scene shifts to ArNi:

Taani had fresh up n sprawled on d bed going through d files one last time for her presentation before drifting to a short nap.

"Web chat now!" a text beeped into her cell. She immediately connected to d internet. "Tum dono, itni subah ek saath kya kar rahe ho" She knit her eyebrows.

"Oh oh... Hum bas tumhe wish karna chahte te" RoYa cried in unison making her lips wider.

"Oh I see..." Taani chuckled making RoYa uncomfortable. "Time deka hai tum Titl, abi bi files lekar baite ho. I guess, todi der mein hi meeting hai right? Y don't u take some rest, haan..." Rohan concerned genuinely distracting her. Taani bit her lips, peering at d scattered files on her bed.

"Waise aap dono bi kuch kam nahi, ahemmm..." She teased doubtfully snapping RoYa, after all she was smart girl to not get drift from d actual topic. RoYa exchanged d looks n immediately shrugged towards Taani defending simultaneously "sirf tujhse baat karne ke liye hum dono yaha saath baite hai..."

Taani crackled "Really..." RoYa got embarrassed. Rohan couldn't dip in Taani's playful antics now. It was making difficult for him to face Shanaya so he groaned giving her a killer look "Abi go n rest Titli, all d very best." Rohan hovered friendly butterfly peck. "Bangalore se jaldi wapas aana, phir dekti hun" Shanaya glared Taani. But she smiled with I-will-soon-find-out-look" shutting her laptop by waving them goodbye n she fell asleep.

Scene shifts to Chennai:

Rey eyes didn't hit any sleep, so he ambled around d outside ground of Natyalaya' embracing d cool sun rise morning breeze. He did tell Taani to go Bangalore, but one part of his heart still wished her presence beside him. He did really miss her.

Scene shifts to Taani:

"Titli" Arjun tapped Taani's room door. "Come on in Arjun" Taani squeaked arranging d files into an office bag.

"U ready?" he sighed. "Of course" she stood in front of him. "What r we waiting for? Chalona, Mr.Khadus" She squeaked in excitement.

"Mr.Khadus, haan...Tum bi ..." Arjun sniffed. "Kyun? Sirf birdy hi tumhe aise bhula sakte hai kya?" Taani raised her eye-brow.

"Oh not now Titli. She had already given me enough in d morning" Arjun sulked. "K baba" Taani laughed imagining Purvi's outburst on him for silly reasons n dragged Arjun out.

Both left from d hotel room at 7am. They reached d venue exactly at 7.30 fortunately overcoming d hectic traffic. D PA of Raizada industry ushered ArNi to their reserved seats in d conference hall. D entire hall was filled with ambitious high sophisticated agents. There were so many business delegates from all over India. It was totally new to Taani. She had attended so many meetings in d past n even cracked most of them, but this was very challenging one. She wasn't nervous rather she was very excited.

Meeting time was at 8.00am. Since it was still 7.45, Taani excused Arjun to make a call to Rey "Mein Rey ko ek call karke aaoo". He smiled n nodded "Jaldi aao, meeting start ho jayega". "Sure" She walked out of d hall.

Scene shifts to Chennai:

Rey's watch alarms his wrist clock ranging 7.45am. His mind flickers to wish Taani before she gets busy with her project meeting.

Scene shifts to Taani:

Meanwhile Taani dials Rey's number but it echoes as engaged, since Rey is trying to call her on d other hand simultaneously. She tries calling 3-4 times but it resound d same dialogue of engage tune. She goes to washroom before returning back to d meeting hall just to have a last check on her corporate looks. She rechecked in d mirror twice flattening her hairs, it was all perfect.

Scene shifts to Rey:

"May be she's in d meeting" Rey's mind preoccupies, pouncing his cell back into his pocket. "U'll do great Taani!" he wished himself.

Scene shifts to Taani:

She dialed one last time to Rey looking up her blushing reflection even with d thought of him. For d luck of her day, it finally got connected.

"Nervous ho?" d first word came from Rey's mouth even without saying hello. He could sense her restlessness even being at far away distance. "Ab nahi... Aap ka aawaz sunke, mera nervousness toh kabka baag chuka" she husked playfully.

"Accha..." he retreat d romantic feel. Suddenly, Taani's cell flashed waiting call of Arjun. "Rey, meeting ke liye der ho raha hai. Mein aapse bad mein baat karu?"

"K" he agreed. "Bas, k." She frowned. Don't u think, aap kuch bhul gaye..." she stated. "Kya?" he made faces, smirking on d other hand. She carried "Oh-come-on-Rey" look in impatience. "All d very best, sweet-heart." he grinned ear to ear, mouthing a long kiss through d phone which buzzed in d burning hotness of a couple conversation. "There u go, mujhe pareshan kare bina wish nahi kar sakte" she puffed. "Ab meeting ke liye time nahi ho raha hai kya?" he teased. "Oh freak. Aapna... Bye now." She cut d call flushing ferociously. Suddenly her ears stroke d slamming sound n spun back. Her cell knocked d floor into pieces n she gasped in shock
