Do You Need Anything? Raj? Raj replied No No I'm Good just looking around the room. Your room is beautiful. Then Riya also looks around alittle. Then she sees a night lamp table where she sees a small doll is kept. Which seems quite old but it has been kept very well maintained. Riya then said Siya what is that doll over there? It's look so cute. Raj Also Notices The Doll now. Just as Siya sees her doll. She looked terrified and her face went from a bright morning to dark night look. Siya then takes the doll and opens her cupboard keeps the doll inside it. This shocked Riya and Raj. They both look into eachothers eyes for a moment. Then. Siya closes the cupboard. And said oh that's nothing it was just there. I forgot to keep it inside. But Riya knew there was something about it. Because it was kept very well maintained. She also saw Siya face changing colours. Raj thinks also but not too much as he was not very bothered about it. Then Siya sits again and then They all start working on the project. Without thinking alot because there's just so much work today that needs to be done. Hours passes. It's 1pm now. Raj and Riya and Siya all are too focused on there work. Just then Siya’s Mom Open the door of the bedroom. Siya looks up and said Mom we are fine we don’t need anything right now. Then her mom replied and said. Siya it's 1pm My Child.

Seeing the situation that they are fighting like kids again! Riya said! Ok let's a small very break! I guess it won't hurt the work schedule a lot Siya honestly! Siya then said in anger tone! Alright! Raj then said Let's a play a game! Siya said What Game? Riya looking curiously at Raj like a child! Raj said I mean let's play a game! But what should we play! Siya said wow! You’re something Raj! She still abit annoyed already about the break. You are the one suggesting to play a game! Then asking us to suggest what to play! Then Raj Said Yes Iam! So what?. Raj makes a funny face while saying this. This makes Siya and Riya both laugh alot! Raj said what’s there to laugh? Suggest something!! Ok Ok Siya said! I got Chess board in my home! Or some cards as well! Raj then No No! Chess is 2 player game and cards are too boring! For me! Siya said then what? Riya suggest We Can Play Dumb Charades? Siya No Not that! At all. Raj said oh! That's a interesting game! Siya Said No Way! This my home I get to decide! Raj started laughing and Said Oh Are You Afraid Little Girl?? Haha!! Siya Said not this game. I don't want to! She makes. A face. Raj said okay! Not this then but then another game I just got in my mind! We are going to play this no questions asked! That's it! Riya and Siya both look at Raj curiously! Raj then Said TRUTH AND DARE. Siya gets shocked and Riya as well all of sudden! Now Raj said. As I said no questions asked! We are playing this now! Siya has no issues with it she thinks it's going to be fun! She said Alright let's do it. Seeing her conference makes Raj tremble with fear somehow. Riya however is not that comfortable with this. She wants to object but then she said nothing. And Gets ready to play! Siya bring a empty water bottle! To play with it. Rules are simple. The person who spins the bottle. Whoever the bottle points to will have to face truth or dare! He/she can choose what to play truth or dare! And the person who spins the bottle originally will give the task to the person as he/she choose truth or dare! Whatever. But if the person who spins the bottle and the bottle points back to him again at end of the spin. The person will spin it again until it points to someone. And after the completion of the task. The person who did the task will now spin the bottle.

They all sit in a appropriate position for playing The Truth and Dare. Now Siya Asks who will spin the bottle first? Raj said I can if you want! Riya and Siya nods in a Yes. So Here’s it goes Raj spins the bottle for first time… and it’s points back at Raj itself. Siya and Riya starts laughing. Siya said now give yourself a Dare! Raj! Raj replied oh shut up I'm doing it again! So here it goes the bottle for it’s second round of a spin. This time the bottle stops itself at Siya. Now she’s is very nervous what's going to come. Raj asks Truth or Dare? Then Siya? Looking in Her Eyes Raj asked! Riya also curious. Siya replied TRUTH. Raj then Said Instantly! What’s Your Biggest Fear?? Siya?. Siya is not prepared for this. She's very nervous now. You can really see her face and judge. She’s not Ready for this. Riya also thinks in her mind (Bang! That’s first question! So hard! I don't even know what going to come next! She's also bit afraid now) Siya thinks and thinks! Raj and Riya wait. After a few mins. Before Raj could say anything. Siya replied! She was struggling to speak the words..but then she said. My Biggest Fear is Living The Past or Losing Someone who I Love. As Raj heard it. He’s satisfied with the answer. But Riya gets very bad feeling. Her Past also hits back to her. But she controls herself And Siya is already uncomfortable with this and her past also comes back in her memory that she doesn't want to even think about. Siya Then Asks that Let's stop this game. We have much work to do. But Raj said come on it's just started just a few more. Riya said the same! Let's stop but Raj started forcing we are doing it come on Siya let's spin! Siya and Riya looks at eachother. Seeing no other choice. Siya decides to continue the game. Now She Spins the bottle. The Bottle unexpectedly stops spinning and point’s it back to Raj.. Siya Gets Happy! Looks like it's my day really she laughs. Raj is not ready for this but he said Okay! Okay Let's do it! So Siya now asked Truth or Dare to Raj?. Raj knows that if he says Truth anything could happen so he goes with Dare! So he said Okay Dare! So Siya thinks alittle and a Bad Dare comes in her mind. She’s so smart. Raj is not expecting this. Siya Now Said Okay Your Dare is To Pretend To Be The Person To Your Right for 5 minutes. On Raj’s Right side it was Riya who was sitting! Raj then said Whatt?? What kind of Dare is it?? He said! Riya is also shocked her mouth fell a bit open! While Raj is very mad about this weird Dare. Siya is enjoying this! Now! Riya said then Raj are you sure you can do this! Raj then said Well I know thing and two about you! Let's see what can I do! It would have been much better if you would have told me to pretend Like you Siya! Really! Siya laughs at this! Raj then thinks in his mind (pff wish I would given her the same dare rather then the damn Truth!) But anyway Now Raj takes a deep breath! Riya is a bit worried how will Raj will manage! Siya is waiting eagerly and is very excited. Raj then said to Siya before starting he said. I'm only going to pretend and act and not take out voice of girl! Or something! Alright!? Siya said okay! Go ahead now! So Raj again takes another deep breath. Riya smiles alittle she's also excited to see Raj to pretend like her. Raj then said Hello And Introduced himself as Riya. He tries to make a face like Riya. Who is always smiling and have good confidence in herself. This makes Riya and Siya both laugh alot! Then Raj pretend to be Riya talking to Siya! He said! Oh Mam Yes Yes your work is done here's your file and I did it! Riya now makes a face and said im not like that. Raj is enjoying it now seeing Riya's angry face makes him laugh he improvise his act even more now! Siya still laughing! Now Raj starts to Pretend Riya talking to Raj that means himself! Raj said. Oh Raj you are so hard working! And always helping you’re a nice person! And best person to talk to in the office! He kinda praises himself a lot. With this and also acts alot better. Riya agreed with this and said. Well that's a good act. Now Siya is kinda mad. Hearing this She said! So Raj is best person huh? What am I? Riya then replied no no that his act. I respect and like you both as a person! Then Siya makes a face! Riya thinks she has somehow made Siya mad about her but just then Siya laughs aloud! And said That’s enough Raj stop it. My stomach is hurting. With all this laughing! She said! Riya gets relaxed. And Raj also.. Now Siya said. It's your turn again Raj! Go ahead! Raj now Spins the bottle and it turn it's points to Riya Now! Riya Is ready for it somehow rather then others because she knows Dares are fine! But truth will be harder! So Raj asks to Riya! Truth or Dare? Riya replied DARE! Raj gets shocked! Dare? Wow? That's ambitious. Or I would say Smart Choice! To get away from some Truths! Riya smiles and said I get to choose! Her smile draws Raj into her for a moment! Then just Raj Said Okay Okay! So Your Dare is To Say two honest things about everyone in here! Oh Riya was not really ready for this! She thinks in her mind (oh no! What do I say! I don't want to upset anyone! But then she thinks I got alot of nice things to say! So I think it be easy! Now she's ready) so then she takes a deep breath like Raj did before in a way. Which is kinda funny the way she does it. Makes Raj smile alittle! And Siya is also curious what Riya thinks about Her and Raj is very very curious to know! That’s why he asked this. When he got the chance to! He wants to know is it bad or good? Well he knows it's not gonna to be bad anyway! Riya then Said like it's not that I know you all from long time or something but still these last days had made me feel only goods things about you both. Firstly I go with Siya. You are my boss and my senior. But I feel you’re more like a best friend to me. And humble and honest. Sometimes you could be angry but You are great your nature is great and you are caring and you’re like teacher to me as well if I'm being honest because of you I could learn so much in work ethics! And the confidence you give me. Is great. There's nobody better then you to be my boss I think. She just stops then. Her face like she went full Honest but she doesn't know what will happen and she’s kinda scared as well!. But then we see Siya's and Raj's face. We see what's going through there minds. Siya (in her mind is kinda shocked and startled with this speech of honesty by Riya! She’s blown away! She felt like crying or something but she knows this not the best place to do that but she doesn't know what else to say now) now we see Raj! He thinks in his mind ( wow that was something. He realises how good it was just now! He’s amazed by her speech and is even more excited and nervous that what will Riya say about him??) Just then Riya asks Siya was this good? I was honest as I could. Like I hope I didn't said anything that you didn't like?? Then just what we see is kinda unbelievable but Siya goes and hugs Riya Tightly. This shocks Raj. He said hey hey hey! Looks like someone is highly impressed! Then Siya gets back. Riya is too shocked by this gesture of Siya. Before she could say anything. Siya said there’s nothing better you could have said! I'm flattered by this speech! Riya. I don't have words to express my happiness. I didn't knew you think so good for me! I hope so this was not something to impress me! You where honest! Because she thinks in her mind (all the employees hate me so much! Like does anyone even like me? Then she thinks maybe she was trying to impress! She got to carried away by the speech! so much) Well she’s not. A bad person but people around her made her like this what she’s today! And Maybe Her Dark Past! So then Riya Said. No Siya I was honest. I didn't wanted impress you. I was being fully honest. Seeing her Eyes somehow makes Siya feel she was telling the truth. This makes her so happy before Siya could say anything more. Raj interrupts and said. Hey Hey Hey! That’s enough. My Turn now he acts like a child. I'm getting flattered here too. He’s to excited and nervous. Then Riya thinks I don’t know how could I even express about what i feel about Raj! She thinks. That Day What happened! But she also knows Raj might have some feelings for her as well. She doesn't want to hurt him. And had to be honest at the same time! Finally She takes a long breath. Longer then what she took last time to say things about Siya! And we see Raj and Siya both somehow very curious. And excited! Riya is also feeling something but she knows she has to say it. Be honest. Then She Said…

(What will Riya say about Raj? What’s going to happen after this? Will it be good or bad? How will there future relation will go after tonight?? This long night at Siya’s house what's going to happen?? Is This Truth and Dare are only thing that is going to happen? Or something more a Connection or A MOMENT. Is going to happen tonight?)
