Hi! since the updates of this book take me time, I am attaching recap for plot recall. Will try making rest updates sooner than later. At least one per week.

..

Quick Recap: Shivaay is dating Annika. Veeranshu is married to Bani. The men confuse Annika and Bani to be one person and accuse there partners of cheating. The two women meet and realise the goof up. They along with Veeranshu's sister Chandini plan to teach the mean a lesson. They confused them about their travel location before going into hiding.

...

Annika yawned and stretched. Then, she moved out to the balcony. The sun was high in the sky but still the air was very chilly. She covered her eyes to protect against the sun. Looking down she saw Bani exercising.

A: Subah Subah itni energy kahan se late hai log..yawns*

She hears the doorbell and so does Bani. Bani heads to open the door while Annika makes herself presentable and comes downstairs. After dropping the selfie bomb through Chandini's profile, the girls had flown down to Chandigarh. From there, they hailed a private cab to Shimla. Bani's friend had a cottage there which they were renting.

Bani opened the door and found a man standing outside.

Bani: Yes?

Man: Ma'am, Chandini Ma'am has sent me. (gives them a box) These are your new phone and numbers. There is also a laptop, a tablet and one more thing. (pulls a card out of his pocket) Please use this card if needed. There is also cash which is safer option. Your phone are switched off and please don't login through any of you social media accounts.

Bani nodded gratefully and mentioned this all to Annika. The girls giggled mischievously. Annika created fake handles on social media while Bani called Chandini who updated her with everything back home.

Chandini: Bhabhi!! Bhai and unke vo friend- they are going crazy about you guys! Lol. Bhai has contacted everyone you both know and is even keeping close tabs. I think his friend even hired a PI.....they both keep grilling me too. I think they are quite sure I know something...

Bani: Be careful Chandini, you know your brother na... Veeranshu than leta hai to krke hi manta hai...

Chandini: I know but bhai needs to pay up for not trusting you at all....It funny to see him going crazy to be honest...haha...But you are right, I should be careful. Accha I need to go. You both take care and if you need anything at all, let me know...

Bani ended the call and went to Annika.

Bani: Seriously!!?

She started to laugh. Annika had created them social media handles. 'Champa O' for herself and 'Chameli S' for Bani. Annika explained the letters were their partners surnames and the girls had a hearty laugh. Then, they decided to do a classic stress bursting activity- A makeover!

..................

Veeranshu was barking order at a poor man who was shivering under his intense gaze.

Veeranshu: Dharti patal akash...jahan dekhna pade dekho but get me my wife now!!!!

Man: Y-yes S-sir...

The man left hurriedly. Shivvay was talking to the commissioner.

Shivaay: Listen! I am not a man of patience! I need this done fast...You don't know how important this is for me....Make this a priority..

Commissioner: Mr. Oberoi, barson ki jaan pehchan hai humari...apka case to mai waise bhi priority pr hi rakhta hoon. Don't worry...mill jayengi ma'am...

Shivaay ended the call and looked at Veeranshu who nodded negatively. He ran his fingers through his dishevelled hair. They both had bags under their eyes and looked like they have aged since their partner went missing.

Shivaay: Itni badi galti kaise kr skte hai hum dono!!

Veeranshu: I know! Mai khudse narzen nahi milla paa raha....pta nahi konse pather pade they meri akal pr...I should have atleast heard what Bani had to say...

They were lamenting their actions when Shivaay's phone rang.

Shivaay: Hello?

PI: Sir, we got a lead. We tried to create a path to trace their moments. Singhania house ke CCTV se unhone right lia tha....we traced and obtained other footages in the area. Looks like they both went to the airport. We are quite sure they left Mumbai and their phone are off so we cannot trace them. Their last location remains Mumbai..

Veeranshu: They left!? Bani is not in Mumbai...where is she!

Shivaay: Pta nahi kaha milegi mujhe Annika...

PI: Sir, don't worry. We are trying ki hume airport ka access mil jaye so we can check footage but since it is-

Shivaay: Don't worry! Khanna!- Call commissioner and make sure they get the footage!

They ended the call and sat down helplessly, looking at pictures of the girl they wronged.

..............

Bani giggled as she posed in a short shimmery dress. After the makeover, the girls went to shop and have fun. Annika was sitting in front of the changing room. She herself was wearing some shorts and a skimpy top. They had picked up clothes they'd never wear just for fun.

Annika: Kya lg rahi ho! Tumhara pati toh latoo ho jayega poora..

Bani's smile faded as she recalled the harsh words. She ran her hand through her freshly highlighted hair. Her old brown hair now had highlights of honey blonde while Annika had a perm. Their nails were painted and they had their bodies massaged and polished. They outer relaxation did nothing to their minds which were still hurting so they tried to distract themselves with window shopping with trail of things they knew they won't buy.

Bani: You promised we won' talk about them..

Annika: Haan...sorry...chalo koi aur baat krte hai...(throws a dress at her) try this..

Bani looks at the fabric and shrugged. She came out wearing the dress which was sheer bottom up and her bralette was visible but she didn't care as it was just Annika. Annika wolf whistled and the girls poked fun before leaving with identical floral summer dresses. They headed out for the cabin and bought pizzas, sodas and ice-cream on their way. They got comfortable and played a random chic flick movie while drowning themselves in food. In the middle of the movie Bani heard sniffs and saw Annika holding back her tears.

Bani: Kya hua?

Annika: It's nothing..

She started to sob harder.

Bani: Annika!

Annika: It is just...so unfair na that the mean college girls ruined her dress and her boyfriend broke up with her over something so stupid!!

Bani also started to tear up. Truth be told, the both just needed a reason to empty their feelings. They started talking about the movie and they didn't even realise when they started to talk about their partners instead.

Bani: I love him...sniff* I love him so so much!! sniff*....we are married for heavens' sake...MARRIED!! itna to trust krna chahiye tha an mujhpr ki ek baar puch hi leta... sniff*

Annika: Sahi bol rahi ho....ye SSO bhi khud ko kahin ke raja maharaja samjhte hai...bs faisla suna diya...mujhe milenge na toh unki kanji ankho ke upar hi ke mukka marungi!

The girls cried hard and slept exhausted. They were hurting but venting out helped.

...............

Shivaay and Veeranshu were passed out drunk. This was the only way for them to sleep- drink it out as they were otherwise deep in guilt of hurting their partner. The phone rang.

Veeranshu: Hello?....yes!....SURE!!!....okay...get the jet ready!

Shivvay: (wakes up) kya hua??

Veeranshu: I know where they are!!

They both stood up with wobbly legs but firm resolve to get their partners back into their arms.

Veeranshu: (in mind) I am so sorry sweetheart...I swear I will do anything for your forgiveness...bs tum mil jao ek baar...

Shivvay: (in mind) Annika...I will apologize and beg...kuch bhi...bs tum maan jao....ek baar mil jao, apni champa-chameli, kissi se bhi peet lena pr aa jao...

Khaana rushed and opened the door as the two lovers rushed to get their beloveds back!
