'Let's go downstairs' Ajay suggested. Rudra agreed with him. Settling on the couch, Ajay initiated the conversation 'How's everything going at your end?' 'Pretty good. The product is in the development phase.' 'I'm more interested to know your equation with Aradhana' Ajay interrupted Rudra. Before Rudra could answer, Ajay warned 'Don't you dare to fool around me.'

'Ok. Fine.' Rudra made a start of his monologue 'Spending months together virtually with her, I somehow managed to build up a good rapport with her. For me, her antics stops world for a while. More she be herself along with me, more I over think about you. Yes, I have fallen for her and willing to immerse myself in varsity of her universe. You are thinking exactly what I am thinking. My confession has a probabilistic distribution effect on our friendship. How can I afford to lose her as my friend?'

'Dude, you are so into her. You should probably speak out your thoughts to her. Aradhana analyzes everything pretty well. She will definitely understand you.' Ajay drew a conclusion from Rudra's monologue. 'I'm scared. If I do so, it would be a loud stomp on our ongoing friendship.' Rudra put forth his thoughts. 'If that's the case, I have a plan' Ajay gave a thoughtful answer.

Aradhana & Sonal marched downstairs. 'Hey. Wanna eat something?' Aradhana offered. 'Let's go out.' Ajay suggested. 'What about downtown?' Sonal added to Ajay's suggestion. 'Anything will do' Rudra was completely fine with any idea they decide upon. 'Downtown, some other day. The journey was exhausting. Everybody is tired as a hell' Ajay reasoned out. 'It was you who wants to go out' Sonal counter answered him. 'I spotted Moe's nearby. My idea for going out was for food.' Ajay justified.

Next day, all of them planned their day in San Francisco. The first place they visited early morning was Point Reyes National Seashore located at the outskirts of the city. The scenic view was absolutely captivating. They later headed towards Golden Gate Bridge. The way to Golden Gate Bridge relaxed Aradhana's soul. Sonal asked Ajay to pull up car so that they could a good photoshoot session. An hour long photoshoot came to an halt when Ajay turned himself to an overbearing person.

Aradhana and Rudra cycled along the pool of the Golden Gate Bridge for an international cause who organized cycle marathon all day. Ajay and Sonal continued their verbal fight over some random topic. At other end of bridge, Aradhana and Sonal sat back while Rudra along with Ajay headed towards food truck. The guys were taking more than usual time, making their girls restless. Aradhana along with Sonal decided to go in direction where guys vanished.

Aradhana sensed uneasiness when she noticed Rudra talking to blonde who looked sexy. Sonal looked in their direction and placed her palm over Aradhana's shoulder 'All good?' Aradhana controlled her emotions, faced Sonal 'Yup.' 'I don't think so' Sonal studied her face and voice quickly. Sonal eye gestured Aradhana to speak up 'I'm behaving insanely these days. I know I should act like a mature adult. Rudra talking around other girls make me behave like teen. Right now I want to approach him for a confrontation.' Aradhana let her aggression speak.

Ajay looked in girl's direction who were busy talking to each other. 'Time to plot' Ajay whispered to Rudra. 'Sorry? What?' Rudra looked spaced out. 'Eva. Hey. How's you?' Ajay initiated the conversation with the blonde. 'You know her?' Rudra is astonished. 'I know Eva. She is my colleague. What you don't know is you are the most misunderstood person at this very moment.' Ajay looked in Aradhana's direction.

Ajay definitely has an idea what Sonal and Aradhana talking about. 'Have you lost it? What the hell are you talking about? Are you even in your senses?' Rudra is elated. . 'Hey. Ajay. I'm doing pretty well. Still with Costco?' Eva continued their conversation, interrupting their conversation. 'Play along, you dumbass' Ajay whispered to Rudra.

Ajay and Eva were catching up with updates until Ajay pitched in 'Eva. I need a favor' Ajay requested. 'Yes. Tell me.' Eva showed her interest. 'You need to make out with the guy who's besides me' Ajay's favor made Rudra looked up. It not only divert Rudra's attention from smartphone but also he could feel his eyes popped out.
