Recap: Akhil and Jhanvi enjoy the bike ride. Mayuri is fired as she bad mouths Jhanvi about having affair with Akhil. Later she gets to know they are married.

***************

Akhil drove his car after picking up Kabir and Sanjay early in the morning. He informed Jhanvi that he had to meet a customer along with Kabir and Sanjay and left home early. Kabir and Sanjay were nudging them all way to know where they were headed but Akhil just smiled and remaind silent.

Kab: you are suppose to give surprises to Jhanvi and not us idiot. Tell us where you are driving now.

Sanj: Are you kidnapping us for interuppting your romance with Jhanvi at office ?

Kab: Ivan senjalum seivan. ( He could do that )

Akh: Shut up we are almost close just 5 minutes.

Kab: I m hungry so get us breakfast without fail.

They reached the spot and Kabir and Sanjay looked around. They could see only a few houses that looked very majestic and royal. The entire environment looked like reserved place and they saw few names of elites from the business group and media.

Akhil stopped his car infront of a three storeyed building and a security opened the gate for them and wished Akhil who smiled at him. He stopped the car at the patio and got down. Following Akhil, Kabir and Sanjay got down and looked around.

There was garden in the front with swing and the exterior of the house looked very magnificient.

Akhil entered inside with his friends and the interior was very classy with all imported furnitures and wall hangings. Akhil gave a quick tour to them. The ground floor had a huge living, a study, pooja room and a high class modular kitchen with complete equipments.

First floor had a master bed room and two bed rooms. The master bed room was plain without any interiors or furnishing. While other rooms were completed with all interiors. Second floor had a library, office for Akhil and Jhanvi, where Jhanvi's had all the arrangements for her sketching. There was also a home theatre in the same floor.

Third floor had a gym and an indoor swimming pool.

Kabir: This is absolutely fantabulous man. By the way who owns this ?

Akh: Jhanvi....I bought this for her. I don't want her to be locked in the penthouse for a long time so I bought this and best part is I will propose her here. Our new home and a new begining.

Sanjay and Kabir hugged Akhil and patted his back.

Kab: We are so happy Akhil. We initially I had a fear on how you will treat Jhanvi. But I can tell proudly that she is very lucky to have you in her life.

Akh: No Kabir, I m lucky to have her in my life.

San: Now only ten days left so what else you want to do ?

Akh: Get our event manager from our resort and I want this entire place to be decorated. Let them share the ideas and I will finalize the best one.

Kab: Don't worry we will take care.

Akh: Main problem is, I could not control the excitement of proposing her and what if she asks me the reason ?

San: Tell something and manage for the next few days.

Akh: that is the problem. I can't lie to her and I will start blurting out when she looks into my eyes.

Kab: Then pretend to be busy and go home late and leave early. Weekend come to our apartment and then we shall come here to check on the arrangements.

Akh: What no...how will I avoid her ?

Kab: Hey just till you propose her or if you can hold your tongue from slipping the plan then you go as usual.

Akh: She will feel hurt and already she has many insecurities.

San: Just ten days Akhil then who is going to stop you. She will feel so happy when you propose her.

Akh: I don't know. Let me try to be normal infront of her.

San: Good, what else you want to do ?

Akh: Isha and granny are arriving this weekend. Keep your mouth shut from blabbering to them. I want a dress for Jhanvi, a best one for her. I will do that myself. If there is anything else I will message you.

Later they reached office together after having breakfast. Jhanvi was in a meeting with deisgning team on the sketches to be done. She had received sketches from many house wives and students from fashion institute. Jhanvi gave all the sketches to the team leads and they were looking at every sketch to shortlist the candidate to work for them.

Late afternoon she finished the shortlisting and entered Akhils' room.

Akh: you look so tired, what happened ?

Jha: A long meeting. Now look at these designs. We have shortlisted them and you can finalize the candidates from these sketches.

Akhil forwarded her a bottle of juice from his fridge and she sipped feeling energized.

Jha: Feels heaven. I m so hungry Mr. husband.

Akh: I have ordered food already and will be arriving any time now. Just get refreshed and we will have together.

Jhanvi went to the relaxation room to refresh and in the meanwhile Akhil received a message from the event managers on the ideas to decorate their new home for his proposal. He opened and saw a few pictures but when he heard the sound of the door knob he abrutly closed everything and started feeling nervous.

Jhanvi came back and saw him smiling widely and raised her eyebrows. He shrugged as nothing and soon their food was delivered and he thanked for the timely saviour.

Akh: Jaan, I will be late today so you don't wait for me. It may take time for me to arrive.

Jha: What happen ?

Akh: Nothing I have some important files to be discussed with our US client on our resort construction over there. I will have dinner here at office.

Jha: Can you do that from your study at home ?

Akh: No, I may require more details and that will not be convenient.

Jha: Ok, but come over as soon as you finish.

Akhil felt bad for lying but he had to look after the arrangements for his proposal so he was left with no other options.

Akh Mv: I will apologize later after proposing for all the lies.

By evening Jhanvi returned home and Akhil drove to the new home where his event managers were present already. They showed him many ideas on decorating the home on event of birthday as well as proposing. Akhil went through all the ideas and informed them that he would confirm the next day.

Once they left he started to check those ideas and made some changes like adding and removing some sorts of designs and looked very carefully. He got two ideas which were very attractive so he made mind to go with one of them.

He saw the time was around midnight and he drove towards his penthouse. When he arrived Jhanvi was asleep already and he laid next to her. He hugged her from behind and saw a smile creeping on her face in her sleep.

Morning Akhil was getting ready to office early than usual and Jhanvi was confused looking at him.

Akh: I will see you at office angel. Kabir messaged about an emergency customer meet. Take care.

He left hurriedly and Jhanvi was standing still looking at his disappearing figure. She saw her mobile ringing and smiled looking at the caller id.

Jha: Hello Isha, did you get your tickets booked ?

Isha: Yeah, I did just now. So what have you planned for Akhil's birthday ?

Jha: Not yet decided Isha, still confused. I want this to be very special for him. First birthday after our marriage.

Isha: Correct, but you have less time and you need to be quick. Granny and me will arrive on week end. Keep your schedule free. Lets go shopping for his birthday.

Jha: Sure Isha, Fine I will get ready to office. I have a suit deisgned for Akhil and need to inform Ram to get that stitched from Narayan sir.

Isha: good go ahead. Lets speak later.

Jhanvi called Ram and informed him about Akhil's birthday and also about the deisgn she had made for Akhil.

Ram: Don't worry rose bud, send me the design and I will speak to Narayanan sir and get that done on time. And be assured that it will be confidential.

Jha: thank you so much Ram. I m just thinking what else should I do for him to make it special day.

Ram: If not you who will get better and unique ideas.

Jha: But right now I feel like my brain is shut completely.

Ram: Lets go for an ice cream to refresh you brain and stimulate its working.

Jha: Always my saviour. Pick me up and lets have on way to office.

Liya was in a shoot for Naren's latest winter collections and Naren was watching her. She looked very beautiful and he could avert his eyes from her.

After the photoshoot Naren called Liya to his cabin for discussion. Liya was half minded but she went to meet him as a professional.

Nar: How are you Liya ?

Liy: I m good enough to complete my job with all my passion.

Nar: I feel you are still angry on me for the proposal I gave you. If that is the case, I take back my words and you can be your back self.

Liy: What made change your decision or is that your proposal is cancelled or you have done that deal with some one else ?

Naren smiled at her question and leaned on the table on his elbows.

Nar: I haven't done the deal anybody. So does that make you happy. I feel you are still not over your ex.

Liy: I think that is out of our scope of work.

Nar: I m not bad as you think and we will be working for the next three years so I prefer we behave civil with each other. That would keep the work environment healthy for both of us. Let us not give way for unnecessary gossips at the work place.

Liy: fine, that will be good until we don't cross the line of our personal boundary.

Liya walked out of his room and he was still smiling at the conversations they had so far and how she would cut him off boldly.

Naren Mv: I m not bad Liya, you will understand soon. But right now I need to find someone to work for me. God...This is annoying to get hold of a person to get him in my trap.
