Finally, Seetha reached the hill where Tarok was already waiting for her. She felt exhausted as she climbed the hill all the way through stairs which was made from that mount's rock.
When she reached the top, she saw Tarok standing with his back facing her. Seetha took few steps near him while calling his name. Hearing that, Tarok turned back.
Tarok: So, you are finally here.
Seetha nodded her head as yes with some heavy breath.
Seeing this Tarok understood that she is feeling exhausted because of climbing this hill. He thought a lot about meeting her but in the meantime, he forgot to think about this place's scenario which made her devastated.
Finally, he initiated the conversation by apologizing.
Tarok: Hey, I am sorry. I can see that you are tired. I didn't choose this place to hurt you. I just decided before thinking properly.
Seetha: It's okay. I can understand.
Tarok: If you want to rest, just rest for a while on that stone bench.
He said that while pointing the stone bench which was made especially for people who enjoy the view of sunrise and sunset from mountains.
Seetha nodded her head once more as okay and sat on the stone bench. After her, he also sat down on the same stone bench making some distance between them. They were now watching the whole city's view from there. They were able to see the busiest Maseo city in a peaceful way from there.
After few seconds, Tarok again broke the silence between them by asking "So, what are we going to do today?"
Seetha asked with a confusion "Huh?"
Tarok: I asked what's our plan for today. I mean what are we going to do today? or where are we going today?
Seetha: I don't have any plans.
Tarok: But I have plans. Since you don't have any plans then let's execute mine.
Seetha: But…but you still didn't answer my question. You said you will answer me if I come here.
Tarok: Then, I will definitely answer. But, not so soon.
Seetha was still confused about what Tarok was trying to do.
Her confused state made Tarok chuckle as he felt that was cute.
Then, he said "Let's spend some time together today. If everything goes well, I will accept you as my best friend."
Seetha: If not?
Tarok: Then, no.
Seetha asked shockingly "But, why?"
Tarok: Best friend and girlfriend is different.
Tarok paused for a second and continued "For being my girlfriend, you look perfect. I am one hundred percent sure of it."
Hearing this, Seetha's cheeks slightly blushed unknowingly. Tarok noticed this sudden change from her. He enjoyed seeing it as it was because of him.
Tarok continued by saying "But you don't want that. You just want to be my best friend which I am not sure of. So, I have no other choice than testing whether it works out or not."
Seetha didn't expect such a thing from him. So, she was trying to process his words in disbelief. Tarok chuckled one more time as he can't control his smile seeing her in her deep thoughts.
Tarok, himself doesn't know when he fell for her. But, from their first meeting, he was aware of that she is different from the rest of the girls he met so far.
Maybe, that was the reason why he fell for her. He started planning everything for her, for him or for them as he started seeing her as love of his life. But the thing which happened last night was not something he expected.
When he returned home last night, he cried and drowned in sadness. He felt like he was all alone suddenly. He also felt his happiness has gone far away from him. He, himself didn't know what he was going to do next.
The next day, when he woke up, the maid entered in and served him bed coffee. He didn't notice any of this as his mind was still stuck with last night's incident. So, the maid returned after calling him as master for several times.
He was not bothered of any of this as he closed his eyes and remembered all the moments that he spent with her. Suddenly, an unanswered question arose on his mind.
The questions were why she didn't feel anything for him. Did he made some mistake or whether he didn't match up any of her expectations like that.
That's when the message came from her. It was nothing but asking him whether they can become best friends. Again, he closed his eyes for a second and thought for some time.
After deep thinking, he replied to her in chat. It was nothing but what Seetha read "If you want to know the answer, come to the most famous hill side of our city."
After that, he got ready and took his favourite car out of the mansion. When he was driving that car, he got a call from Sunil. He connected the call to his air pods while driving.
Sunil: Hey, we have a party today evening for our victory. It was arranged by our juniors. I called you to inform about that.
Tarok: You go, I am not interested.
Sunil: Hey, what's wrong with you? You are not in party mood these days. Last time, you were confused about your personal issues. But now everything became normal, right? Actually, you should be the one who should give party for getting committed.
Tarok interrupted by saying "There is nothing like that."
Sunil, like usual, asked confusingly "What?"
Tarok: She just acted in front of everyone. When we were alone, she said she is not loving me.
Sunil: What the hell? Then, why the fuck she lied? Don't she have a brain and….
Tarok interrupted one more time to stop him as he said "Don't get angry. She did that for a good deed only."
Sunil: How come that will become good deed?
Tarok: She didn't want me to feel low in front of everyone by rejecting me. That's why she acted like that.
Sunil: I don't believe that.
Tarok: But I believe her.
Sunil: Whatever.
He paused for a second and asked "What are you going to do now?"
Tarok: I am on my way to meet her to become a best friend for her.
Sunil: What? Are you out of your mind or something? I know you are crazy for her but will it worth?
Tarok: l don't know about that but I knew very well that I am okay being anything for her. Whether it's husband or boyfriend or best friend.
Sunil: What exactly is your plan now?
Tarok: No plans.
Tarok paused for a second and said gently with a small hope on his eyes "When I recalled all the memories we shared, I remembered she was blushing and I also remembered the way she saw me was something more than friends."
Sunil: So, are you saying that she didn't actually lye?
Tarok: Exactly. I don't know why she is not expressing her feelings. I will use this being best friends time to find out the truth and make her accept me.
Sunil: I wish that could happen so that you will be normal and attend parties like before.
Tarok: Hmm. Okay then. Enjoy the party with Raj. Let's meet some other day.
They said bye to each other and hung up the call. After few seconds, he reached the hillside and started waiting for her.

Back to the present, after enjoy watching Seetha's expression for few minutes, he said "If you don't want, then leave it. We don't have to do any test and become best friends."
He said that and stood up from the stone bench and started walking slowly away from her. So that she will accept his offer.
Seeing that, Seetha got shocked. She also stood up from the stone bench and reached him. She also stopped him by saying "Wait."
Hearing that, he smiled as his tricks worked. After hiding his smile, he turned back to her asking "Then, shall we go?"
