Vineet cheers up Ruhana and boosts her confidence to handle the deal on which they've been working together. Meanwhile, he learns of a meeting that needs his immediate attention and so he asks Ruhana to take the lead. She's baffled; yeah, he has led many projects for him, but this one is tricky and she knows that she will need his help. Though she understands that the other meeting requires his full presence, she's a little worried.

"Ruhana, you can do this. Maine pehle hi kaha tha ki iss deal ko tum handle karogi." Vineet tries to cheer her up.

Ruhana wishes to discuss a little more about the product details, after which Vineet leaves for his meeting with Abhimanyu Desai, their new client. The manager informs Ruhana that the clients have arrived and she heads into the conference room.

It's going to be a long day!

St Xavier's college

Aarna is sitting in her classroom and smiling to herself while remembering the conversation she had with her sister in the morning. The girl has many friends but her sister is her best friend. It's been a long time since they've had such profound conversations, all revolving around one name: her buddy and her sister's friend, Vineet. She's startled when someone taps her shoulder and she looks up only to find her best friend, Taara Sehgal, beaming at her.

"You're on time? How?" Aarna looks at her friend, as she's usually late for the class.
