You Own My Heart ( Completed )

Recap: Ranjith invites Mr. Chandrasekar and Naren for success party

***

Aryan was reading the newspaper in the lawn when Sanju came over and sat next to him, holding two cups of coffee. She noticed the seriousness on his face, it wasn't his usual calm self.

"Aryan..." she called gently.

"Yeah, tell me sweetheart," he replied, glancing at her.

"What happened? You're not normal. What's bothering you?"

He folded the newspaper and placed it aside before looking at her.

"Nothing, sweetheart. Just something related to business."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Now let that go. Have you decided your costume for today?"

"Not yet, darling. Not clear on which one to select."

"Shall I help you?"

"With pleasure."

"I got you an outfit. It's in your wardrobe. Wear it," Aryan said with a soft smile.

"Wow! When did you buy it?" she asked, surprised.

He smiled more warmly.

"I didn't let you know because I wanted it to be a surprise for you. But I got it long back."

"Oh okay... now tell me about your friend?"

"Actually, he's my best friend. He always wished for my success and wanted me to have the best in life. He doesn't even hesitate to go against anyone to support me. For a long time, he supported me in life, personally."

"Ohhh. So definitely an important person."

"Hmm, yes. Indeed, he is very important in my life."

At DC Residence, Naren and Darshika were having breakfast, sitting opposite to each other in silence. He hadn't initiated a conversation for a long time, but Darshika couldn't stay patient anymore.

"Brother," she finally said.

"Tell me, Darshi," he responded.

"Where are you going today?"

"Nowhere, just an outing, that's it."

"Okay, I'll join you. It's been a long time. I haven't gone around the city for the past three years."

"No, Darsha. I'll take you some other day."

"Bro, did you forget that I was with you when you told Ranjith to arrange for a lunch meet with Aryan?"

Naren mentally cursed himself.

"Darshi, please try to understand."

"I'm coming with you."

"Darshi, listen. I'm going to meet him after a long time. We need space. So it would be better if you stay back."

"Don't be harsh. I know, and you too know, the reason you're avoiding me. But I swear, this time, you're not going to stop me. That should be fine with our relationship. Hope you won't disappoint me. I'm coming over with you, and that's final."

"Darshi, why don't you be practical and move on with your life?"

"That won't happen in this life. I haven't met Aryan in the same period as you, so I want to meet him. Believe me, things won't be the same this time."

"I know him very well. If he decides once, then he will never change back from it."

"Then you should also know about me. I'm even more stubborn and determined than him."
