But now Arush has one thought in mind and Rajeev could read that in his face."Arush .. you are thinking about Abhi right?" Rajeev said smiling."Yes dad.. what we will answer when Anandi ma will ask about Abhi da?" Arush questioned"Hmm.. that is what I am thinking.. don't worry about this .. I will do something.. you please take help of Anish and start preparing for the function..as there is no time left..""Sure dad.." Arush answers and leaves the roomNext day: officePriya calls Aman to talk about the business matter.. she wanted to talk something else so that she could gaslight Aman against Abhi.. but she was not getting the proper opportunityAs priya was explaining the deal.. Her attention goes to Abhi who is talking to Avinash just outside her cabin."He is married..!! Still you want him?""Shutup!!.. I cannot love anyone other than him.. but I don't want him also.. he is married and I know my limits.. He is my boss here and that's it.."Aman see's her face.. the line "I cannot love anyone other than him" hurt him soo much that he got from his place and went to his desk. Priya did not stop him because she knew her plan has worked out.Now Priya knows what Aman will do.. He will try to separate Abhi and Anjali and of which Priya will take the advantage.. It was evening 6.00 PM .. Priya comes down near to her scooty and she sees Avanthika going in her car and suddenly something flashes her.. i.e to take help of Avanthika in Abhi's matter..Priya goes to her room and calls Avanthika making sure that Nidhi is not around."Hello Avanthika aunty..I am Priya..""Heloo Priya.. How are you dear..?""I am fine aunty.. How are you..?""Yes..good.. tell me what happened..?""Nothing aunty.. I .. wa..""Tell dear.. are you okay.." "Yes aunty.. I just called you to say I am returning back to Canada..""Ohh.. but you said you are going to settle here in India..""I thought.. but it is difficult here .. especially for me..""Difficult.. what difficulty you are facing..""I want your help Avanthika aunty..""What help you want..?""Either I alone return to Canada.. or  I stay here with my Abhi.. seeing him everyday hurts me and I can't be like this..""Means..""I want my Abhi to be with me.. So I hope now it is clear to you aunty.."Avantika went silent for a while.”Aunty.. what is the meaning of this silence?" Priya questions her."I will give you better options.. choose from that.. If seeing Abhi hurts you.. either return to canada soo that you could not see him anymore or Return to Canada along with Abhi and settle there soo that I and my family won't be able to see him..""Aunty.. But.. how?""You don't worry.. I will help you regarding this.. But promise me.. you are taking him to Canada..""Promise aunty..." She said her face beaming with joy.(But both don't know how this will be possible..and are worried about implementing their plan)One friday evening Priya and Avinash were going to mall and both stopped near the cafe where Anjali is working. Priya and Avinash enters the cafe take their place.. Anjali comes to take their order but as soon as she sees Priya she turns backward and send her friend to take the order. Anjali makes sure that Priya has not seen her..EveningPriya was busy watching series in her laptop. Avinash calls her. "Hey Priya..""Call later.. I am busy.." Priya said"Watching series right..?""Yup..""Today in the cafe.. I saw Anjali.. Abhinav's wife..""Ohh... soo what is the big deal..""It is a big deal.."As soon as she heard Anjali's name she fired up.. "Is she celebrity that you are making this special announcement there that she was there in the cafe.. Her college is near by and she may have come to drink tea.. whatever.. why you are bothered about that..""God why are you getting angry.. and by the way she was not having any tea or coffee she was working there.. as soon as she saw you she turned around and sent someone else in her place..""What.. I think you may be confused .. why she will work there..?""I don't know .. may be.. but.. wait.. I will see her photo once..""Yes.. fast .. check once.. I have her photos..""No need.. I have those group pictures.. I have not seen her for a long time soo I am confused now.."Avinash sees Anjali's photo and confirms that it was Anjali only.."Yes Priya 100% that was Anjali..""But why.. she is there..?"Whose know ..leave it.. I will sleep .. bye""Ok bye"After a few days, while only Aman was there in the cabin.. Priya just starts to tease him"So .. finished taking your reveange?😂""See.. stay away from me.. don't involve in this matter..""Why?? When you started flaunting in the begining I was scared thinking what you will do?? But now I understood😂""Shut up.." he got up from his place.."Ok tell me.. how much do you know about Abhi and Anjali that you are trying to spoil their life..""Not only them.. If you don't stop this right away.. your life will also be spoilt.. regardless of how much I love you..""Stop it.. Do you know Anjali is working in Cafe right infront of her college..""What?? You told you..""I am not like you.. If I want something I will make sure I get it.. I just don't flaunt like you..""What you want me to do?""I just gave you the information.. do whatever you want.."Aman is now soo engrossed in revenge that he is not able to she that Priya is taking advantage of his anger .Aman plans really well and also calls Nachiketh to help him in revealing the secret of Anjali..Evening 5.30PMAbhi along with Aman attend one important meeting and are on the back to office. Aman intentionally stops the car near the cafe and pretend that it is not starting. Abhi gets down to see what is the fault at that time Aman rushes."Sir.. sir wait I will see..""Wait.. I will check once..""No sir.. I will do this..." Aman saysAman goes to check the car.. and pretend to do so.. At that time Nachiketh comes out of the cafe."Helloo Mr. Abhinav.. May I help you..""Hellooo.. nothing.. Just our car... ...""Ohh Sir shall I call the mechanic...""No.. I don't ...""Yes please.." Nachiketh says"Let me check once.." Abhi says"Sir no.. I have already checked .."Nachiketh intrupts in between "Dont worry sir i will call the mechanic.. Until there you can relax in our cafe sir"By now Abhi thought that Nachiketh is working in cafe"Please do call its urgent"  Aman said winking at NachikethAbhi and Aman enter the cafe and Nachiketh takes them to a special room which usually given to some imporant people who visit there. The room is covered with glass on all four sides and a beautiful view of garden can bee seen through one side and from the another side the cafe. Aman observes that there are soo many people in the cafe but he is unable to spot Anjali there.By that time Mr. Ankur and Mr. Mahesh enter there with whom a while ago they had meeting.Abhi did not understand how did they come there out of the blue and even Aman was shocked when he saw them. As soon as they saw Abhi they came near him.Ohh Mr. Abhinav what a surprise we are meeting again.. "Ours is a unexpected visit here sir". He stood up and shook hands with them."What a coincidence.. what so ever .. will have a good talk now".. said Mr. Mahesh.Now Aman is totally confused how this happened.. is it just coincidence??"Ok lets order.." says Mr. AnkurA guy comes and takes the order.. Aman excuses himself and comes out the room thinking of Anjali."God is she ... ..." Just as he is about to complete the sentence he spots her going towards a customer. She was wearing the cafe uniform and the cap."Perfect Anjali.. you came at the right time.." He says. But he is now worried about how to make Abhi and Anjali face each other.Suddenly Priya comes to Aman's mind and he rings upto her.."Hello .." she says"Where are you..?" He asks herJust leaving officeGreat.. come to the cafe where Anjali is workingBut why.. why I should come thereCan you please keep this QandA round later now hurry up and come here Priya got confused with this behaviour of Aman but she knew he was going to do something and she rushed to the cafe.As soon as Priya entered the cafe. Aman rushed towards her and told her what she had to do."what...But why"Inside we are only men's soo no lady waitress will come there if you come there surely Anjali will come there. Because for now as I observed only she the lady waitress here."But what will you say to Abhi.. I mean how did I get here.. wont he doubt..""See.. i have no time to clear you doubt.. and do what I just said.."Priya gathered all her courage and entered the room with Aman where Abhi was there."Abhinav sir there is another guest here with us""Ohh Priya.. how come you are here..""Just felt like coming and I saw Aman and he said that you are also here.."She also greeted Mr. Ankur and Mr. Mahesh..She had already met Mr. Mahesh in one of the meeting and he himself started to talk with her. Aanag came to Anjali"Anjali go to special room and collect the order""Ok.. sure" she said and went to collect the orderAnjali went to open the door by that time Anusha called her." I will collect the order now. Just tell anag to give the reciept to the counter .. he forgets it always and I have to get scolding from the manager."" Oooh chill.. I will go and tell him" Aman and Priya were disappointed seeing someother waitress coming there to collect the order. Priya gave a angry look to Aman.”Anjali.. I collected your order.. just place it there..”"Ok.. thank you.." she says and places the items on tray.2 tea, 2 coffee and 1 special cafe coffee whenever someone orders this special coffee she remembers Abhi because that is one of his favourite. She places everything on tray and moves towards the room and opens the door..She does not look towards the customers just moves inside holding the tray. As she enters the room she sees Abhi sitting there and remains stunned. Abhi looks up towards her thinking that his order has come and finds Anjali there.Suddenly by seeing her he is not able to process because at first Mr. Ankur and Mahesh came and then Priya came. So he just saw and was about to say something. "Finally our coffee arrived" Aman saysListening to which Abhi observes Anjali with the cafe uniform. He remains in shock as he is not able to process what is going on. Anjali hands starts to sheiver and she does not know what to do now. She has no option other than going and placing the order on the table.He gathers her courage and moves towards the table and keep the order. Priya acts as if she is also shocked seeing Anjali here.Abhi remains quiet. Anjali places the order and moves towards the door. ”Excuse me can I get some tissue" Aman says this intentionally to hurt Abhi.Abhi who remains in shock thinks why the hell Aman is ordering Anjali to that. He gets angry upon him”Yes sir.. ” Anjali replies and comes out if the room. Abhi mind is now full of thoughts.. ”Anjali you is working here.. she lied with me about the extra classes.. why Anjali.. why did you do this.. I hate you for this..”Thank you💕
