On the same day,

Ram enters Vikram's place.

Neha opens the door and welcomes Ram by hugging him dearly.

Neha: - Fatty! How are you? It's been few days since we met.

Ram: - Hello Neha, I am good, how are you?

Vikram: - Hey fatso, tell me what's the matter? How come suddenly you are here?

Ram: - Simply. Do I need permission to come here?

Neha: - Not at all. Tell me how are kids and Juhi.


Ram: - They are good. How are your 3 monkeys?

Neha: - Crazy like you said.

They talk for few more minutes on random things. Vikram and Neha can sense some uneasiness in Ram. Neha gestures Vikram to talk to Ram separately and find out.

Vikram: - Common Buddy! It's been long time since we had drinks together.

Ram: - Yeah, lets drink. I badly need few.

Vikram: - Let's go inside this room. Neha will handle kids and we will enjoy our drinks.

Ram: - Okay let's go.


Vikram: - Tell me Bro, what's bothering you?

Ram (bluntly): - Nothing.

Vikram: - Look at me. See your eyes are telling me a different story. Let's have a man to man talk.

Ram: - Shup up yaar Vikram. Don't act like Neha. I wanted to have a drink with you so simply came here.

Vikram: - I don't think so. Something is really fishy.

Ram (irritatedly): - Ok, you don't believe me right let me leave then.

Vikram: - Arere yaar! Leave it.

Ram: - Now stop this here and let's drink. Cheers.

Vikram: - Cheers.


Ram drinks non stop where as Vikram tries to control him.

Vikram: - Ram, please don't be like this. I think you are thinking about Priya.

Ram is already high on drinks.

Ram: - Don't even take her name. I hate her.

Vikram: - Rammm

Ram: - Yes, I hate her very much. How could she do this to me and my kids?

Vikram: - Ram, its high time you move on in your life. You are at same position where Priya left you couple of years back. Think about Ishaan and Ayaan, don't you think they need a normal life? They are kids and you are somehow handling their sensible questions about their mother now. Going forward it would be difficult for you and for them as well. Please understand buddy.

Ram is lost in some deep thoughts and keep quiet.


Vikram: - Ok. I won't force for anything. Now tell me what's up with new company. You seemed to be spending so much time there infact you are not even coming to KI.

Ram: - Haa, as I said before I need to pay some attention to that company and settle few things immediately.

Vikram: - Is that the only thing which keeps you there or something else?
