"She is coming between us, our friendship," Samaira said . 

"Who is she to come between us, no one can come between us," Aarav stood up and took his Mira into bone crushing hug. Hug which he never gave her, hug which can melt any girl . 

His closeness sent a thrill through her. She looked up meeting his eyes, her eyes were filled with sadness but not jealous. She was not jealous but sad that her Aarav's girlfriend is coming between their friendship and Aarav is not at all aware of it.

Samaira kept on looking at him, there was lot more into this settling thing she thought "Aarav do you really like her or is it about some business deal or something," she asked. 

Aarav lightly smiled, "Let's go," he took her hand and walked up the stairs," You are confused, you are tired and you need a rest, every time you have different questions," he laughed and then they both walked towards the cabin . I need to keep myself away from you so that I can think straight , he thought . I am going to be your shadow always around you untill unless I find the truth behind you and Monika, she thought .

Next morning Samaira was feeling better after last night talk with Aarav, she found out that Aarav is seriously considering about Monika and planning to make her his girlfriend or may be more.

They all were having breakfast in big dinner hall, Aarav was sitting right next to her while Raj was sitting left to her . She smiled at Raj who was looking at crown girl, who was busy chatting with Honey and Sunny. 

"Raj don't you think Sunny and Honey both are showing too much interest in her, I mean that crown girl," she whispered .

Raj took a sip of juice from his glass and directly looked at Preeti, "she is pretty girl," he said smirk played on his lips.

Suddenly he turned and kissed on Samaira's cheeks , "they both are single and ready to mingle," he whispered, "enjoy your breakfast darling forget about your brothers, just think how would you like to spend this vacation with me," he cutely smile at Samaira.

Samaira smiled and then her eyes landed on Aarav who was sitting next to her and  was busy writing note and then he turned and gave it to butler and whispered something on his ear

"What are you doing?" She asked him.

" Saving your brother and my best friend," he said in very low tone, and then looked at Preeti, the queen of the cruise who wants to go for dinner date with Kiaan Kapoor, "you heard her wish Naa," he continued.

"She is beautiful, my play boy brother would love to go out with her," she smiled at Preeti, who was busy chatting with Sunny and Honey. 

"Do you think so ?" he asked .

"Until he really falls for right a girl," Samaira smiled.

"Right girl?" Aarav questioned, his eyes landed on Tiya who was curiously looking around as if searching for something or rather saying someone.

"Well you are looking at  the right  girl," she paused for a moment, "but we all are aware that my brother is scared of commitment," she added in very low voice.

"I don't want Tiya to get hurt, I know what it feels to be rejected and heartbroken," Aarav said in low tone just matching her tone.

"She will, if my brother didn't noticed her love, wait what did you say ,who broke your heart, Aarav?" she whispered and then her right hand moved over his.

Aarav nodded , "Some people don't have that ability to understand and see the love in someone's eyes," he caught his gaze for a moment , before looking away.

Samaira too looked away, these days things between her and Aarav are getting awkward, but why, she thought looking at Raj who was busy having his breakfast. She sigh deeply and looked down at her plate , "have your breakfast Mira," Aarav said in low tone. Samaira took a bite of her pancake without looking at Aarav , she was sure that Aarav must be looking at her with his famous smirk playing on his handsome face.

After finishing their breakfast as per plan they all decided to go to pool but Tiya was missing . "She must be in Kiaan's cabin. I heard her talking to Ridhima Massi, " Harshvardhan informed looking at Sunny who nodded at him.

"Let's go and see if Kiaan come with us  , if not then Tiya will surely come," Sunny said .

They all went to Kiaan's cabin and knocked at the door within few seconds Kiaan opened the door .

  "What the hell what are you all doing here?" Kiaan looked at Meele who was standing at the door way.  

"We came to see you bhai," Samaira said cutely from behind Meele. 

"Me...why?" He asked looking behind her sister, Aarav and Harshvardhan were cunningly smiling at him. 

"We heard that you are not well," Parul said keeping straight face . 

"Ohhhh really?" Kiaan arched his brow his eyes still fixed on all the guys standing behind his sister. 

"Yup ," Meele smiled sweetly. 

"Saw ...," Kiaan shook his head ,"now leave," he tried to move girls away from the doorway , keeping his face completely calm. 

"T?" Samaira looked inside , from inside she was laughing that they ruined their secret meeting. 

"Samy," Kiaan angrily looked at his younger siblings. 

"No....," Samaira angrily looked at her brother and then she pushed her brother lightly and then walk inside the cabin, "What are you doing here ?" She asked . 

"Same, I heard that Kiaan is not well ," Tiya looked at Kiaan and then she met her eyes with her friend and smiled. 

"Ohk... now as we all have seen that he is fine let's go our pool game plan," Parul who was still standing at the doorway said.  

Yaa....yaa sure," Tiya smiles and walk towards the door. 

"Come bro let's go ," Aarav smirked at Kiaan. 

"No I am not coming and nor she is going with you guys," Kiaan said looking down at his Piya.  

Tiya shook her head calmly, "Kiaan... we made a plan yesterday and so I am going with them," she said. 

He took hold of her hand but she shook it away, "guys I am coming in a moment," she said looking at her gang they all nodded and looked at Kiaan but didn't left.  

 Tiya spoke again, "You are free to go out on date with that Preeti you don't need to burden yourself and favour me just coz I like you ,just for my feelings," she gave him disapproving look, but Kiaan flared back at her and then suddenly he laughed, "miss Tiya Kohli I am not doing any favour.,"he said. 

Samaira tried to stifle her laughter but she couldn't ,so she turned and kept her head on Aarav's shoulder ," full nautanki going on," she whispered . Kiaan was behaving with Tiya was like .....it was unimaginable.

Kiaan proposed Tiya infront of them and then Tiya rejected him, Samira  was dumbstruck with her bff boldness.

"What the hell she  did just now?" she whispered in Aarav's ear.

"She did the right thing," he said.

"She is your sister that's why you are saying things like that," she said but she do agree with him .

"No because I myself....."he meet her eyes and it seems world stopped he could hardly breathe, she was so close to him and at that moment he felt like kissing her beautiful lips.

"What the hell Tiya try to understand  ..Tiya stop....please stop Tiya ," Harshvardhan screamed and that broke the spell  between Samaira and Aarav.

Samaira moved backward and looked at Aarav but now he was looking away from her , "guys let's postpone this pool game plan," he said

"Agree," Sunny said looking at Harshvardhan .

"Ok then.... I am going to Raj, will spend day with him," Samaira said .

"I am going to kitchen mom and aunts are baking something for dinner," Meele said looking at Parul, "are you coming with me, she asked.

"Yes," Parul nodded .

"I am going to play snooker," Kunal said.

"I am coming with you ," Harshvardhan spoke looking back at Kiaan who was still standing, still in shock of rejection.

"Me too,"Bobby said looking at Harshvardhan.

"What about you?" asked Sunny.

"I think... will go to Monika, spend some quality time together," Aarav said, he walk away but suddenly he turned,"write a note for Tiya and send it with butler," he said and left.

Monika.... Monika what the hell is ....and who did hurt Aarav that he can understand heartbreak and pain, thought Samaira.

"Ok Sammy meet you all later or may be during dinner," Harshvardhan kissed his sister's cheek and they all left leaving Samaira standing there alone.

"I am joining office after this vacation," Samaira said to Raj, they were sitting in one of the Arabian food joints on the cruise.

"I was waiting for this day, finally you decided to be a part of Media waves," Raj happily said.

"Why?" Samaira asked confused ,why is he so happy, it's my work, my decision,then why he was waiting for this day.

"Ummm... Coz ....coz ....I know that you always wanted to join it," he took her hand in his , "Will take you to meet my parents," after you join the office, that's why I was waiting for this day," he smiled.

"Ohh....Great," Samaira happily got up and  hugs Raj but she doesn't felt anything, she for no reason compared his hug and touch with Aarav.

Raj looked around and then, "sit , everyone is looking at us and if I am not wrong  they are all your uncle's and dad's guest," he said .

"Ahh yaa, " Samaira sat for few seconds they ate in silence but then something came to her mind , "When are you joining your dad's business?" she asked .

"Ohh Samy.... I always told you that I hate restaurant business," he said shooking his head .

"Then what you will do, you took Hotel management course for this only Naa," she asked .

"I use to think that I love this business but I was wrong," he took a spoonful rice and pushed it in his mouth. Flavour burst inside his mouth, he never liked his father's restaurant and food cooked there.

"So what are you planning," Samaira asked.

"I have a plan but will share once I am sure that it's work," he said giving her cheeky smile.

"Your wish I am always with you," she said looking at the entrance of the diner.

"I know," Raj replied enjoying his mandi rice.

Her eyes landed on Aarav who just entered the diner, he was holding hand with Monika who was saying something in his ear and laughing at her own joke .

"I am coming...," Samaira try to get up from her chair but Raj stopped her "where are you going?" he asked.

"Aarav and Monika are here will ask them to join us for lunch," she happily said. 

"Leave them alone Samy," Raj ordered.

"But ...." 

"They need to spend time together just like us," Raj reminded.

"I think you are right," she said but then she looked around and there were no vacant seat so she got up," I am coming.." she said and walk to Aarav. She took his hand ,"come," she pulled him to her chair .

"Hey Raj," Aarav and Monika said .

Raj got up and angrily gazed at Samaira and then he turned and looked at them with smile, "Hey Monika, Aarav," she said .

"Join us," he invited.

"Naa we are on our first date so..." Monika said smiling at Samaira.

"We were talking about you and media waves," Raj said looking around to find any vacant table for them.

"Ohh so she told you that she is joining after vacation?" asked Aarav.

"Yes ..." Raj replied .

"Well  Samaira," Aarav took her full name,  "in all the vacation thing we forgot to inform you that you are going to work under me not papa," he said.

"You why?" Samaira asked.

"Papa and Ronit uncle are going abroad for some conference and they don't want to delay your joining," Aarav said.

"Ohh okk," Samaira gulped hard working with him gonna be tough, he is boss in office and will behave more bossy with her.

 Aarav smirked and wrapped his arms around Monika and turned to go, "enjoy guys,"
he said and walk to now vacant table.

Samaira angrily looked at them, now he doesn't like to have lunch with me, he called me Samaira instead of Mira, all due to that Miss Monika, she thought her eyes fixed on Aarav.
