"Excuse me Mr.!!", Irhaa stormed out of the bed and walked towards Ruhaan pointing her index finger at him.

"OK stop! Not in the early morning!", Azhaar said coming in between them.

Azhaar looked towards the poor rat. Which was no where to be seen.

Ruhaan eyes widened in shock and he abruptly turned around to see the presentation which he never in the world created.

He immediately closed the presentation getting laughs from behind.

"How on earth is this possible? HAJMOLA?", Ruhaan whispered to himself running his hand on forehead in frustration.

"So Mr.Ruhaan? This is your presentation for construction tools?", one of the rivals said laughing making him more angry.

The dealer got up from his seat and went towards Ruhaan. He placed his hand on Ruhaan's shoulder and said "Son we are working for almost 6 years now! I know some misunderstanding has happened. I give you an hour to backup your presentation I will be waiting!", he exclaimed and walked away.

"Thanks sir!", Ruhaan replied smiling.

"Do you have some?", the dealer asked.

"What Sir?", he asked getting confused.

The dealer went closer to him and whispered in his ears "HAJMOLA! I'm facing indigestion son"

Ruhaan looked at him from head to toe and said "No" The dealer smiled and left.

Everyone left the conference hall one by one.

"Mr.Ruhaan Malik", he turned around to see the source of the voice.

"Yes?", he asked.

"Myself Nihaan Khan", the person said forwarding his hand for a shake.

"Nihaan Khan?", he asked shaking hands with him.

"Yes! One of the shareholders of this company", Nihaan said smiling.

"Things? What kind! Better be good!", Ruhaan said with a smirk.

"For you it must be good! But for us it's kind of bad", Nihaan said with a chuckle making Ruhaan confuse.

"I mean you are famous for being the most eligible bachelor! Girls go head over heels for you! I means it's bad for us right?", Nihaan said laughing.

"Oh! Nothing like that,Not my fault Nihaan all my genes", Ruhaan said giving a wink.

"I really liked your presentation", Nihaan said laughing and Ruhaan gave him a death glare.

"I mean I know you wouldn't have created this but for sure the one who created was in so much into taking revenge from you that he or she not even thought of how embarrassing it would be", Nihaan said laughing.

"Revenge?", soon realization hit him hard.

"Irhaa ki bachi! Ab bach ke baata mujhse!" Ruhaan whispered to himself.

"Ruhaan?", he was bought out of his thoughts by Nihaan's voice.

"Yes! Anyways nice to meet you Nihaan Khan. I have an important work to do", He said smiling.

"Because I don't want her to call me bhai!", Faham exclaimed making everyone confused more.

"Faham Bhai! But why?", Aaina asked getting up.

"Oh Allah!! Shutup aldready", he said and stormed inside.

"What's wrong with your friend?", Irhaa asked Azhaar.
