Anika evolves along with the time, But none was that shared with shivaay. On the other hand, Shivaay didn't leave any moment to tease her. But it was only between them. Not even David, his roommate included in their conversation.  They both were available when they needed the other. More than the partners, they became one's close friend who can share anything with the other without any hesitation.

"Okay. Why are you being so rude to your parents?" - Anika asked when shivaay ignored his parents wedding anniversary for purpose. 

"It's because I know about them." - He answered. Because he knew how will they behave when something serious happens to him in the future. They hell cares about their reputation than him. They were even ready to abound him from the family if they had to. But sadly, He can't say anything to anika. 

"Shivaay, They are your parents. Imagine how will you feel if your son behaves with you like this in the future." - She argued. He badly wanted to say everything. But he stayed silent. 

"Okay, What you want me to do?" - He asked her. 

"Go to the party, Be with them." - Anika asked him in a requesting tone. 

"Okay, Doing it only for you, No-one else." - He said. She stayed silent but also confused on the other hand. She guessed he's hiding something from him but she didn't ask. 

"How's dad and Bhavya?" - He asked. 

"They are fine. And you, Go and get ready." - She said and rested the call.

Shivaay went to his home after the whole 3 years. Shivaay hesitated to go to his house even in the holidays. His mom requested him multiple times but he hardly listens to her. His brothers Om arrives at his room once or twice a week and stay with him. Shivaay enjoyed his company as Om did. When pinky saw him in the doorstep, She walked towards him and engulfed him to a hug. 

"Oh my god, Shivaay. How are you?" - She asked him. He broke the hug.

"Fine, Mom. You?" - He asked her. She nodded and took him inside. His father was sitting in the dinning. He stood up and walked towards shivaay as soon as he saw him in his house after three long years. 

"Finally, Back home. I missed you, Beta." - Shakthi exclaimed and engulfed him to a hug. 

"I came on leave. Only three days." - He said and made his way towards his room. Om who saw the entire scene from the kitchen, Accompanied him.

"You said, You are not interested in attending the parties." - Om asked. 

"I wouldn't have come here if anika didn't insist on me." - Shivaay bothered to answer but he didn't have his mind over anything. Nothing makes him happy and the time difference again irritated him and stopped him from sharing anything to anika. Over then, David messaged him. 

"Bro, I got your reports." 

"Everything normal, Right?" - Shivaay messaged back. 

"Yup, Everything is normal. Why the hell you're taking tests every two months?" - David asked him. He heaved out a breath in relaxation. 

"Cautious, Bro." - He said and kept his phone aside. 

Finally, The time came. The party started, Shivaay on his grey blazers and Om was in his blue sparking blazers. As good sons, They accompanied their parents and stayed with them till they cut the cake. Shakthi was proud of shivaay as he gets into one of the best engineering colleges with scholarships. And he almost shared the news with everyone who attended the party. Shivaay was happy in the corner of his heart to see him happy because of him. For the first time, He experienced that. 

But the twist in the tale came in the form of someone whom he never expects he will see in his life. But when his father introduced him to her, He was completely lost. 

"Hi, shivaay." - Tia Kapoor said while forwarding her hand to him.

Year: 2017

Description: Before the reboot. 

It had become a habit to shivaay to change every Sunday as a Funday by going out with some of the orphanage kids. Anika came with a the Mcdonals Happy meal to the children. Shivaay was busy arranging the activities for the kids. Even they were annoying the people around, They enjoyed heart-out. 

"Arjun, Easy!" - Anika exclaimed when the food choked in his throat. Shivaay helped him out while patting his back. Before four years, Shivaay used to run-away from the kids as he didn't like them. But the time introduced him to his bestest version. 

"Thanks, Bhaiya." - Rita, A twelve years old girl who was sitting next to anika said. He smiled at her.

"And Didi. You're the best." - She said while side-hugging her. Shivaay fakely glared at her when she hugged her. 

Everyone enjoyed the extent, Shivaay decided to take them to the store to buy them some sets of the new dress. The whole food court jerked in an instant when all the kids shouted in happiness when shivaay shared it with them. Along with the fifteen others, They entered the store, But shivaay stagnated at the entrance while seeing the boardings of the opposite to the Max showroom. 

Confusingly, Anika came towards his side and nudged him. He quickly paced himself but she didn't fail to notice the model who was once in his friend's list in Facebook. Shivaay remains dull for the whole day, Even though he laughed multiple times for the kids' happiness. All the fifteen, Enjoyed the best day in their life. But shivaay seems lost. They dropped the children in the orphanage. There were happy, Shivaay was satisfied to see them. But somewhere in his heart, He was lost somewhere. 

"It's tia, Right" - She asked him. 

"How do you know about her?" - He asked her. 

"Hmm. Facebook?" - She said, But if he asks her anything beyond, She had no other ways other than confessing him about her fake id in Facebook. 

"Yeah, She once had a part in my life, But now," - He exhaled when he couldn't take the pain again. There were no tears left in stock for anyone. But automatically, His heart yearned for his normal life. 

"Shivaay," - She held her palms tightly. 

"We met in a party, My dad's friend's daughter. At the start, Everything was perfect. But eventually, I had no idea when I fell in love with her. Believe it or not, It was my first relationship. I said i love you to many people but when i said it to her, It was different. Oh my god, What a life?" - He said, His eyes didn't meet her eyes. But the smile was constant in his face. Anika controlled herself from breaking down. 

"Everything was perfect, just perfect." - He added without meeting her eyes which held so much pain when he talked about tia. 

"One day, She moved to London, The daily meetings modified to daily phone calls, I never disturbed anyone in my life like that. I traveled to London to meet her, She occasionally come to L.A to meet me. But Om was not happy with the relationship, I don't know why?" - He said. 

"Om, My brother." - He cleared, Least knowing, She knew everything about his family. 

"And out of sudden, I tested for fever, And it came out as HIV positive. I was shattered. Thankfully She wasn't affected. That was our last conversation, Neither she calls me, Nor I called her. Then after 6 months, I came to know she got married to someone. She's happy. But sometimes, I think how my life would be if it just turns out as a fever." - He thought. She held her kurthi inside her fist tightly. For a second, Her brain asked her to leave him and go after hearing his undying feeling for someone who doesn't even deserve him. More than him, She stalked her. Shivaay was not the only a person, But there are many. But her heart made her stay right next to him for the whole night and hear his blabberings. 

First love always has a special place in our hearts. If she was too craze on him, How can she stop him from feeling for his first true love? She predicted, His heart never wanted to hear bad about her. So she remained silent and didn't say anything to him. And didn't spell anything to him till the last. It remained a secret till the last.

"Shivaay, How's the party?" - Anika messaged when he didn't take her call for the past three hours of trying. It was happening for the first time. In India, It was 10 in the morning, So it would 9.30 PM in Los angels. 

"What happened?" - Gauri asked her. Kalpana was standing next to her.

"Nothing, He isn't responding to my messages." - Anika replied in the worried tone. 

"He must be busy, Ani. Or tired. Chill, bro" - Kalpana said reading her face. Her face was too worried. 

"Shall I call his brother?" - Anika asked them. 

"He has a brother?" - Gauri asked him in an intriguing tone. 

"Yeah, Om." - She replied unintrestedly and tried to call om again. But Kalpana stopped her from doing this. 

"Stop behaving like this. He's not in his hostel, He's in his parents house. Let him have some own space. Forget, Who insisted to attend the party?" - Kalpana asked her. 

"Me." - She replied innocently. 

"So, Leave him at his own space, Anyway, We will be meeting him day after tomorrow. Remember, How we tried our hell out to get a month internship in Primetime? Relax now, We are having a flight tomorrow. Relax buddy." - Kalpana consoled her. But she felt too different. And for the first, She felt like he was avoiding her. And waited for the moment to reach there.
