The morning arises, Anamika wakes up from her deep slumber, and looks around. She finds Vineet sleeping while she has her head on his chest. She looks at him, he is sleeping soundly and there is a smile gracing his lips. He looks so innocent while he sleeps. Also, he is so down to earth. Anamika recollects his words from last night. He assured her that he won't let Ishika go away. He also assured her that he will take good care of Ishika and he did. He's not only a great artist, but a great human as well. He's grounded, and he loves her so much. He's the one who proposed that they should take ishika to their home, even when they didn't know her fully. Anamika has made a heartfelt relation with the girl, while he is impressed with the girls' simplicity and passion. She smiles and kisses his forehead. She is surely lucky to have a partner like him - who loves her immensely and always tries to make her happy.

She sits on the bed, removes Vineet's hand from her waist and moves to the washroom. She freshens up and moves out. Vineet is awake by then. She wishes him for the day and at the same time there is a knock on the door. Anamika moves to open the door - - it's Ishika, holding a tray consisting of two cups. Ishika smiles warmly at her.

"Coffee! Maine banayi. " she says as she forwards the tray towards Anamika.

"Tumne kyun banayi? I mean wo maid haina!" Anamika reasons.

"Kyun? Main kyun nahi bana sakti? Family hoon na main! Ab aapke liye itna toh main kar hi sakti hoon." Ishika says with a smile.

"Okay! Ab aap dono coffee piiyo! Main garden mein hoon" saying so, Ishika runs into the garden while Anamika smiles at her impulsive acts.

She turns towards Vineet and hands him one mug and holds the other. A smile is playing on her lips. Maybe, she's glad that Ishika is fine. Vineet nudges her..

"Kya hua? Ab toh sab thik hai na?" he asks.

She leans over him, placing her head on his chest.

"Yes Pati! All good. She looks happy." she says.

"She will be perfectly fine soon." Vineet assures her and Anamika nods her head positively.

Yes! They have to be hopeful. Ishika is doing fine, and they have to wait for full recovery. Vineet looks at her, wanting to say something, but her phone rings, breaking the moment.

Anamika talks with the caller and assures them of their order.. Maybe, it's her client. She has been on holiday since a week, and the work is suffering, but the health is important. She turns to him.

"Vineet! Aaj mujhe jaldi jana hoga. Ek order finalise karna hai." Anamika says.

"Ana, you should go. I'll take care of ishika." he says.

"Tumhe aaj kahin nahi jaana?" Anamika asks.

"No! I told you na! Shooting will begin next week." He says.

"Okay! But, I promised Ishika to take her to the boutique." Anamika says.

"But one more day! She will rest well." Vineet reasons, also, Ana wants the same, but the girl thinks differently.

She wants to go out and has asked Anamika for the same. They are discussing the matter when Ishika barges into the conversation and her words make the couple smile.

"Don't argue because of me. I'll stay home, but you need to promise me something - - both of you." She looks at them, pointing her finger at them.

"Ab kya chahiye tumhe?" Vineet asks.

"Aapka autograph!!!" Ishika says, looking at Vineet keenly.

"I promise, I will behave." She says kiddishly, in the same manner, the way she did when she first met him.

"Not so easy!" Vineet winks at her and Ishika pouts.

"Haww! That's so mean! Meri behen kitni sweet hai, aur aap, khadoos! Jao main baat nahi karti!" Ishika makes a face and turns her back towards Vineet.

"Kyun sata rahe ho usey?" Anamika looks at Vineet.

"It's fun!! Maza aata hai jab ye gussa ho jaati hai!!" Vineet says, giggling as he finishes his statement.

"That's so mean! Ab toh sach mein gussa hun main!" Ishika glares at him and leaves the room while Vineet ends up laughing at her act.

Anamika slaps his cheek lightly while he pulls her close.

"Ab shuru mat ho jao! Usko toh naraz kardiya, jao maine bhi baat na karni tumse!" She jerks him and he looks at her with open mouth.

"Arey tumko kya ho gaya!! This is unfair, Ana!" He glares at her playfully.

"Everything is fair in love, Jeeju!" Ishika chuckles from the door.

"Ishika!!" He looks at her playfully while she clicks her tongue at him.

"Give me your autograph, and take your wife. She'll be with me for today." Ishika smirks at Vineet.

"Ye Acha hai, dono ne team bana li. Ana, tum...." Vineet says but Anamika cuts him.

"Haan toh! Tum bhi toh mujhe akele chod ke jaate ho, ab tum raho." Anamika says teasingly.

Ishika giggles, Vineet looks at the two girls with a sad face. Eh! He's left alone and both Anamika and Ishika have teamed up. Meanwhile, Vineet's phone rings and he moves to the corner to attend the call. On the other hand, Anamika asks Ishika to have the breakfast as she has to take the medicine.

"I'll come with you Na!!" Ishika says.

"Noo! You need rest." Ansmika denies straightly.

"Please! I won't exert myself." Ishika looks at Anamika hopefully.

"No! Main jaldi aa jaungi." Anamika says, trying to convince Ishika.

Ishika pouts but agrees with Anamika, who pats her cheek lovingly. Ishika smiles lightly. Vineet joins the girls and Anamika passes him his cup of coffee. Anamika asks him about the caller, and he tells the ladies that he has an urgent work and he needs to go. Anamika agrees to him and both of them leave the house, instructing Ishika to take care of herself. The girl agrees and they leave the house.

Ishika moves to her room and begins to sketch some designs while the maid gets busy with her work. A little while later, the maid enters her room and forwards her a bowl. Ishika removes the plate and is astonished to find vegetable noodles in the bowl. The maid tells her that Anamika instructed her to make noodles for her. Ishika chuckles and begins to eat. She's happy for sure.

*****

The day passes in a blur, Anamika returns home and moves to Ishika's room. The girl is not in the room. She calls for Ishika but the girl doesn't reply. Meanwhile, Vineet enters the house and finds Anamika worried. He gets worried to know that Ishika is not around. Anamika decides to check in her room, and as she enters inside, she's left flabbergasted to the view in front of her.

To Be Continued.

What did Anamika see?

Where is Ishika?
