She sighed lightly. "Do you want to come inside?" She asked. He nodded as she moved to the side to give him way. Sam was awake by now. He ran to him. Vayu smiled while bending slightly and caressed him. Kiana closed the door behind them and walked further inside to show him the way.

"Let's get to the balcony. I wanted to sit there but I was scared," She said. He walked after her as Sam followed them out.

"Scared?" He asked. She nodded. "I'm scared of the dark. Especially looking at the ocean in the dark. Who knows what might come," She said while making a face. He chuckled and for one of those rarest times it felt like it had come from his heart. It looked real. She smiled along.

"Smile often... It suits you better than the hot angry young man look," She said while taking him off-guard. He chuckled lightly while shaking his head hopelessly.

"You are one of its kind. People don't usually accept that on face and play hard," he said. She shrugged. "About what you said earlier... I think the fault is from both sides. I don't know your story nor do I know about him but it's not always one's fault..." She said and added, "But if you really want to keep that person and if he or she is truly special to you or if you know that it's your fault then you can always try by keeping everything else aside."

His eyes were on her as she spoke. She smiled by the end which made his lips curled too. He nodded. "Thanks."

"Anytime," She said. He raised his eyebrows. "Really?"

She shrugged. "I'm sure you won't come to me for any advice. You have your legal team for business related things and then your mother and sisters and maybe your father for other stuff," She said.

He took a deep breath and looked at the ocean. "Yes they all are there but I prefer not to depress them with my problems. Veda still insists sometimes and I let her know a few things but not all," He said.

"Raghav?" She asked again while keeping her gaze on him. He shook his head. "I feel awkward and burdened to share my problems with anyone..." He said and added, "I don't know if that makes sense."

She smiled. "Yes you do. I feel the same too many times with my family and Anshu too so as I said, I share it with him," She said while gesturing towards Sam.

He smiled again. "The problem of your boyfriends?" He asked with a teasing smile. She smirked.

"Nice try but I don't have one... If you want confirmation," She said. He laughed while shaking his head.

"But on a serious note, sometimes it's good to share a few things... Made me feel a bit lighter," He said. She raised her eyebrows. "Me? Your fan following from school would be sad and shocked to hear this statement from you," she said.

"How can the most desired boy of the school be close with a nobody like me?" She asked dramatically. He rolled his eyes while looking at Sam who was sleeping on the floor by now.

"Have you always been dramatic?" He asked. She shrugged. "I try..."

"You shouldn't," He said and made a face while making her laugh. He chuckled while further moving her gaze around her room. "Were you working? Did I disturb?" He asked.

She shook her head. "It's been a long time since I'm on my own so I don't mind a company," She said with a faint smile. He watched her back as their stares on each other lasted for longer than those were expected. She cleared her throat and looked away.

"Tell me about yourself... I am sorry that I didn't see you in school," He said. She smiled while looking back. "What do you want to know?" She asked.

"Anything?" He asked.
