After reaching his office, Pavan started working on his project (improving the graphics of the new game they are going to release soon). At 12 pm, Pavan got a call from Ram (Pavan's best friend and son of a famous politician).
Ram: Good morning man, where are you?
Pavan: it's afternoon now and I am at my office.
Ram: Is that you? There are only 5 days left for your engagement. Pavan, I know, will enjoy his last days of Batchelor's life.
Pavan: I was a Bachelor until I got married and for the last 6 years of student life I did nothing but enjoy myself. Now I want to do something productive.
Ram: you sound a bit serious. Is everything alright? Pavan told everything about the Vikas call and Priya's dream.
Ram: so you are going to convince your wife to go to the US with a person who is trying to impress her. Are you insane?
Pavan: I want to remind my childhood friend about her dream and help her to achieve it and she is not my...w-wife.
Ram: why did he take one month to contact you? And why did he call you now? I think he is trying to stop your engagement.
After going to the US, he will surely irritate my little sister(Priya) to love him.
Pavan: Vikas is a good person, I think he doesn't know about the engagement and Priya got a Black Belt in karate. She can easily defend herself against that nerd, so be cool and enjoy your day Buddy (hang the call)
Time:12:15 P.M *Message*: Bro, I am at the canteen.
Reply: I will be there with her in 5 minutes. Don't come to us, wait until I wave to you.
At a sharp 12: 20, Priya came to Pavan's office and they both went to the canteen (Priya's office on 7th and pavan's office on the 4th floor).
Priya: why can't we go out for lunch? Don't you think it's a better place than the canteen?
Pavan: Because we have to discuss an important matter and I don't want to waste time on the journey.??
Priya: what's the matter? Did you want something? If you need money or expensive stuff, I want to remind you that Dowry is a crime ??
Pavan: don't act smart. You know, I don't need your money or anything. I want to know why you lied to me about the interview. I always thought we were close friends and we didn't have any secrets, but am I mistaken?
Priya: Really, don't you remember anything that happened on the last night of our tour? And who told you this now?
Pavan waved to Vikas and went towards them.
After seeing Vikas, Priya gets angry but tries to act normal.
Priya: How many times do I have to tell you, I don't need that job, and why are you dragging Pavan into this?
Vikas: please think one more time before deciding, because next month 1st is the last day to report to the job, so I don't have any other option than contact him to reach you.
Priya(angry voice): don't you understand, I am not interested?
Pavan: May I know the reason why you lost interest?
Priya: Because I.. I don't want to leave you alone and I want to be with you.
Pavan: Haha I am not alone. I have my friends, family and you can...live with me the rest of your life, after achieving your dream. (Vikas can't understand what's going on there.)
Priya: don't you think our engagement is on 29th and on 31st morning I have to catch the flight. I can't do that. I don't want to lose you for this stupid job.
Pavan: who said you would lose me after going to the U.S? I believe in you, Priya, you can do this. I will wait for you until you come back to me. I will talk to your parents so... What would you say? Will you remember me after becoming successful in your career?
Priya(her eyes filled with tears): I want some time to think. I will talk to you later ?. She went to her office to have lunch.
Vikas understands that they are getting engaged and that he made Priya sad and she doesn't want to leave Pavan.
Pavan: don't think you made her sad, you did something good for her and you were waiting for her without leaving. You are a good man, Vikas. I know you will take care of her.
Vikas: why are you convincing her? Maybe she really doesn't want to leave you.
Pavan: because I don't want to be the reason for holding back from her achieving her dream. I will do anything to make her happy.
Vikas (in mind): wow she wants to sacrifice her life ambition for him, and he believes in her with his full heart that he doesn't even hesitate to send her to a person who tries to perceive her. Maybe this is what true love seems to be like.
After some time, Vikas left after having lunch with Pavan. Pavan talked to his relatives and they offered her to stay at their place. He even convinced their parents but Priya still didn't say her opinion.
