"It's finally 2012." This is what anika thought when she glances the calendar next to her Laptop screen. She kept her ice-cream bowl aside and dived into her life in these two years. It wasn't normal. She was living her dream life. Different places, Different weather, Different foods, Travelling and top of that doing her favorite job. Every day is a surprise and full of different experiences. But still, She felt incomplete. Without her father and her sister with whom she was there with her as her support system. Last but not the least, She misses Shivaay to an extent.

Her father has always been so emotional whenever she felt a little low about her job and other circumstances and he always ask her to come back to him but when she calls shivaay and tell everything to him, He didn't ask her to come back instead he asks her to face it and then come back only if she wishes which gave her confidence to face the problem. He has always been her strength in these 2 years. He never did anything because of that she leaves everything and go back but she knew He misses her as much she misses him. But never opened up his feelings but she always opened up everything to him. Sometimes she feels he's pampering her a lot, He always works on her dreams than working on his dreams. She never knew the reason.

Anika was in her 20th country. South Korea. Comparatively, she was so close to her family which now includes shivaay. But she felt helpless when they hardly get time to contact each other. They weren't available when they needed each other. But always available to share the things which are happening in their life. Shivaay knew her every colleague's name and the same anika knew everything about his colleagues and his friends. He never hides anything to her excepts how much he misses her. And his cute creative gift, Specialized app for each other made her feel that nobody other than her is lucky. She opened the app again. There was a flash in her mobile with a heart symbol and a message below to it asked her to pop it. She did.

"New message from Shivaay" - It flashes with shivaay smiley face. She poped his face again.

"You can even dream about me closing your eyes, Sleep, baby." - His voice hit her ears, She chuckled. She went back and tabbed her image and recorded her image.

"First, You. Mr. Oberoi." - She recorded.

"It's just 8 pm here but there it's midnight. Sleep. What's the schedule tomorrow?" - He asked her.

"OFF." - She replied.

"Then wake up late. You need to sleep." - He said.

"Bye." - She replied. And he went offline and when she clicked his image, The default message heard. "You are just 2914 miles away from me." Keeping her aside to the table next to the bed, She tugged her inside the duvet but the deep feelings in her heart didn't let her sleep. She was struggling in the loop of loneliness hardly knew what shivaay planned for her. Within an hour, Her eyes automatically closed and dozed off watching the snowfall. People over there said whatever they wish during the snowfall will come true. She had only one wish in her heart, She wanted to see him before the 21st of December. Even though she didn't believe in rumors. The fear automatically created in her heart.

A new morning in Seoul which people over their spell it as soul attracted her more. The language was different, The culture completely different, But she felt more connectivity there. she had no idea Whether it's because of her binge-watching habit of Korean series or some other things. The temperature was in single-digit or maybe minus as it was the end of December. The pop culture reached a peak, Wherever she turns there was an ideol school. Over thousands of people dreaming to be a K-POP Star. The top band over that time was Big bang wherever she turns or enters into any restaurant, She could feel the craze.

"Kumao."- She said when she served with a latte in the coffee shop she rested in. The server looked at surprising and bowed her head with a blushy smile in her face. Anika found it very cute.

"You know Korean."- She asked her in English.

"Just Kumao (thankyou) and miyane (Sorry). Isn't it enough to survive in Korea alone?" - Anika asked her with a smiley face. She cupped her mouth and giggled. Anika had no idea whether she teasing her or not but that didn't bother the smile in her face.

"That's cool. I know English. That much." - She replied.

"Then we both are in the same category." - Anika chuckled.

"I am Anika." - Anika forwarded her hand to her.

"An-ni-ka. So Ni-ka?" - She asked as the surname in Korea will be in the starting of their name. Like lee-min-ho where his surname is Lee. Likewise, She misunderstood.

"No. My surname is trivedi. Anika Trivedi. Indian." - Anika said and asked for her name.

"Cheong-Su-ha. My family-name is Cheong. Korean." - She said with a wide smile.

"So cute," - Anika said and asked her to take a seat in front of her as it was her day off, She decided to roam around the city alone. First, she thought of bothering shivaay and her sister. But soon she backed off the plan when she realized it was a weekday and everyone would be busy in their work. So she decided to go around.

Su ha asked many doubts about Indian as she read many Indian novels and anika patiently answered many things to her. She also asked many doubts, Su ha was shocked when she heard, Drinking alcohol considered a bad habit over there. Also said she can't survive without soju, A Korean drink. And they also follow a ritual while drinking with elders. Anika was amazed to learn about it. Talking with strangers is like therapy. And anika loves this therapy. She never hesitates to interact with them. Sometimes, She gets introduced with some different names which lead to that memory which lasts forever.

"Anika. Your phone." - Su-ha said when she forgot to take her phone while leaving. Soon she came out of the restaurant, But up to her surprise, Her phone beeped. She opened it. It's from the app which shivaay sent it to her. She opened the app. Upto her surprise, The google map zoomed in and shivaay's location was next to her.

"Oh my god." - She exclaimed and tabbed his image to hear the message from him.

"My dear devil, Can you please hug me? I am right behind you." - She heard. Her heartbeat raced faster than ever before. Tears ran out from her eyes but she didn't feel it. Her breath became shorter and shorter as she could hear her heartbeat, She turned around. He was there, Just a few meters away, Smiling at her widely while widening her arms for her.

Anika dreamed that moment uncountable times in these 2 years, But when it was happening for real, She just couldn't differentiate whether it's a dream or reality. But her feet didn't stop moving. She didn't want to leave it even in her dreams. she felt her hands and body wanted to reach him before her feet could, She jumped to him, He grabbed her in the correct timing.

"Oh my god, You're here." - She spelled when she felt his tight grip on her waist when he lifted her from the ground holding her tight. His warm breath reached her neck crook, She felt her breath.

"Yeah, I am here." - He said and kissed the nape of her neck which was the only exposed part in her suit. She was too much dressed because of the climate. But he didn't. He just wore a Leather jacket which buttons were left open and his blue casuals was visible. She broke the hug to assure it was him.

"How?" - She cried and hug him back. He broke the hug this time.

"Love will find it's own way, Baby." - He said and his eyes moved towards her lips which were trembling to be kissed. Before he could proceed, She initiated and kissed him while cupping his face with her gloved hands and her eyes were closed.

"I still can't believe it, You're here." - She said when their foreheads met due to lack of breath. He released to the ground.

"I dreamed this moment many times, And now, It's finally happening." - He said with a chuckle and his hands were now supporting her face holding her cheeks. She chuckled back.

"You look fat!" - He said when she didn't stop shedding her tears.

"You look uncle with this beard." - Her reply was instant.
