After entering the group, Aryan's friends mockingly showed an aggressive reaction towards him. But Aryan, seeing their faces, realized they were joking. So, he too responded with a mock-serious reaction.
Due to his mysterious training, Aryan could understand what someone was thinking just by looking at their face.
Then Aryan, with a sarcastic tone, started walking towards the gate.
Aryan: "Alright, if you all don't want to talk to me politely, I'm leaving."
They then ran to stop him and shouted, "Wait, Aryan! We're just joking!" Aryan paused, stepped back and replied,
Aryan: "I was joking too."
Hearing this, everyone started laughing. They all sat on the bench and began talking to Aryan.
Aryan: "Abhi, Biraj, Mondeep, Swaroop, Pushpita, and Priyanka – I know all of you well, that's why I understood it was just a joke."
Pushpita: "Aryan, how do you know about our secret?"
Aryan: "If it's your secret, then it's mine too."
Abhi: "Alright, let it remain a secret. But now we'll reveal our surprise."
Aryan: "Surprise?"
Abhi: "Yes, just a minute... Biraj and Mondeep, go get the bags."
After a while, Biraj and Mondeep returned with a cake and 2–3 bags.
Abhi: "Actually, we wanted to celebrate your birthday."
Swaroop: "Yes bro, we wanted to make this day special."
After that, Aryan cut the cake, and while they were chatting, Mondeep casually brought up a topic:
Mondeep: "Bro, this year you'll find a girl even better than Smita, and she'll love you more."
As soon as Smita's name came up, Aryan stopped laughing and became serious.
Abhi: "Aryan, don't be upset."
Swaroop: "Yeah bro, you deserve someone better."
Biraj: "Yes, Smita made a big mistake by rejecting you and accepting that creep Manab's proposal."
Pushpita: "I think she didn't have much choice in the matter."
Abhi: "Of course she did. She knew Aryan loved her. But after Manab – Aryan's school friend – found out that Aryan loved Smita, he spread rumors and then proposed to Smita. And Smita accepted it."
Biraj: "That wasn't enough for Manab. He even told Smita to stop talking to us because we're close to Aryan."
In fact, after joining GC College in class 11, Aryan met this group and also Smita, and they all attended the same tuition. They became close friends—until the rumors spread and Manab proposed to Smita.
Aryan: "Don't be serious about it. Back then, I loved Smita more than anyone could. I loved her simplicity and beauty. But now, I don't care about her anymore."
Abhi: "Even then, she helped with today's function."
Abhi: "Actually, she called me yesterday and said that we're good friends, and she also wanted to send you a gift. It's in that bag."
Then Abhi handed Aryan a box.
Aryan: "Really?"
But Aryan's face still looked serious. Then he stood up and said,
Aryan: "Okay, let's go to College Road. I'll treat you all."
Then they rode their scooters to College Road, with Aryan's driver following them.
They entered a momo house famous for momos and fast food. After placing the order, while chatting, Priyanka asked,
Priyanka: "Aryan, is it true that your family's financial condition has improved and now Rohit Da owns Sagarika Regency and Sagarika Resort?"
Aryan: "Yes, it's true."
(Sagarika Resort and Sagarika Regency are among the top hotels and resorts in Assam.)
Swaroop: "We also know about your involvement in Six Flags Entertainment Corporation in Srikona."
Mondeep: "If that's true, then what benefit have you gained?"
(They are very close friends, so they always share their good and bad experiences.)
Aryan: "Actually, I didn't know about any of this. Yesterday my family told me, and today uncle Arjun called me for some paperwork."
Biraj: "Then what happened?"
Aryan: "As per my grandfather's will, lakhs of rupees were transferred to my account and I was given equal equity in the company."
Pushpita: "Aryan, what's the name of the company?"
Aryan: "Saha Roy Real Estate Company."
While they were talking, their food arrived, and they began eating. Biraj said,
Biraj: "Now things will get better."
Abhi: "What do you mean?"
Aryan: "He's talking about Smita, right?"
Biraj: "Yes, now she'll regret believing those rumors and accepting Manab's proposal."
Priyanka: "Yeah, you're right. She probably already regrets it."
Biraj: "Aryan, now you should use your money and connections. Let's take revenge on Manab for what he did. And you can use our connections too."
Aryan: "Biraj, I don't want revenge. I want to start a new life. But remember, if anyone tries to mess with me again, I won't spare them."
Aryan: "Anyway, leave it. Finish your meal."
Swaroop: "Wait! Let's take some photos."
Pushpita: "Yes, I at least need one photo from our reunion."
Then they clicked many photos.
Pushpita: "Swaroop, please send me the group photo right now."
Aryan: "Yes, send it to me too."
Swaroop sends the photos.
Ding... ding...
Aryan checked WhatsApp and then shared the pictures on social media. Then Biraj said,
Biraj: "Aryan, are you still using the same old phone? Why don't you get a new one?"
Aryan's phone was bent on one side with multiple dents on the back.
Aryan: "Honestly, I never thought about it. But since you all want it, let's go buy a new phone now."
After finishing their meal, Aryan paid the bill and they went to a mobile store. Aryan bought the latest iPhone 13 Pro Max. As they exited the store, Pushpita said,
Pushpita: "Aryan, why don't you also buy a DSLR camera?"
Aryan: "Alright, I will."
In reality, Aryan didn't care for these things or showing off. But his friends wanted him to have a personality that reflects wealth and success. Aryan, being able to read minds, bought those things knowing his friends would eventually want them too.
Then they went to a store where Aryan bought a DSLR and multiple expensive lenses. After that, he thought about buying something for his friends, who had helped him financially and emotionally during hard times. They went to a mall, where Aryan told them to pick whatever they liked—he would pay.
Initially, his friends declined, but after Aryan insisted, they accepted and bought clothes worth thousands. Aryan paid the bill. They left the mall and headed back, dropping Priyanka off first since her house was nearby.
On the way back, they saw Manab and his male friends, along with Smita. The guys were drunk and smoking, and Smita was clearly uncomfortable with the smell. Manab's friends were trying to tease her by touching her shoulders and back, but for some reason, she couldn't leave the group.
Aryan read Smita's mind and told Pushpita,
Aryan: "Smita wants to get out of there. Can you ask her to come with us? We'll drop her home."
Pushpita: "Okay, but I won't go alone."
Swaroop: "Don't worry, Biraj will go with you—your future husband."
Pushpita: "Swaroop, stop it."
(Pushpita blushed.)
Biraj: "Alright, I'm coming with you."
Aryan: "Don't mention me."
Biraj: "Okay, bro."
They walked toward the group and asked Smita:
Pushpita: "Smita, we're heading home. Would you like to come with us? We'll drop you."
Smita, clearly uncomfortable with the vibes:
Smita: "Okay, please."
Then Manab's slurred voice came from the smoke:
Manab: "You want to go with your old friends?"
Smita: "It's getting late, so..."
Manab: "So what?"
Biraj: "Manab, Smita's not your toy. You can't treat her like that."
Manab: "Oh, you idiots are here too? Fine. Smita, you can go with them. But listen up, you scoundrels—and my lovely girlfriend—I'm leaving for Delhi with my family tomorrow. When I get back, Smita, you better explain everything."
Manab: "And you two fools, don't forget the threat."
Biraj: "Manab, times are changing. Let's see what happens in the future."
Without delay, Smita left with Pushpita and Biraj. They dropped her home and then returned to their own houses. Aryan also returned to Udharbond.
What danger is Manab talking about?
Why are Manab's friends teasing Smita and why did Smita not say anything??
where will Aryan invest his money????????
