Recap ~
Office

As they walked out of the office, Shivaay was very much surprised hearing Anika voluntarily wanting to travel with him, without any hesitation. 

"Thank you Shivaay!" Anika spoke up breaking his thoughts when Shivaay asked back confused, "Why Anika?"
"For the help you did yesterday and today. I'm really sorry as well!" She told everything in a flow and Shivaay said, "That's okay! But why sorry?" He wondered.
"I didn't speak properly to you yesterday!" She said when he smiled at her saying,"I knew how you were feeling at that time Anika! That's not a problem"
"Okay then, I will leave!" She smiled and was to leave.

"But how?" Shivaay asked back out of concern when she said, "I will walk and go, it's not really far! Don't take trouble."
"Friends are there to help Anika! It's not a trouble at all." he said smiling.
"It's completely okay Shivaay! And it's very late also, see you!" she said back smiling when he bid a bye unwillingly.

Anika walked back home alone. As she almost reached, she saw a shadow dodging here and there. When she turned back, she was quite surprised as well as shocked to see Shivaay there who was a bit tensed after Anika saw him.

"Shivaay?" Anika asked very surprised.
"Err... Hi Anika!" Shivaay greeted very much embarrassed. Anika almost laughed out when she saw his facial expressions.

"Shivaay ,relax! I'm not going scold you or" she said when he sighed in relief, "Thank God! I'm sorry Anika for following all your way! But I couldn't stop myself."
"I completely understand! Thanks for your concern." she said very grateful to him.
"That's okay! I will have to leave now. Bye, will meet you tomorrow!" He said when she told, "Shivaay, it's not so safe to go back home this late! I think you can better stay here"

"But?" Shivaay hesitated when she spoke, "It's really not safe! Please understand. Accidents may happen"
All of a sudden her tone changed at the end which was noticed by Shivaay.
"Anika I will stay here! Don't worry" he said just to make her relieved.

Soon Anika got permission from her owner and let him stay at her owner's house for that night.

The next morning, Anika got to know that Shivaay left early that morning. Getting ready, she left to the office. It was indeed a busy day, a little chit chat with Shivaay, Om and Rudra was something special to her. By evening, Anika was called to her manager's cabin much to her discomfort, she somehow didn't feel nice after the night before.

"Anika! I'm quite impressed with your work." Daksh appreciated her when she thanked him.
"So in two days we will have to go to Delhi for a meeting!" Daksh said when Anika was quite surprised.
"But sir, with me?" She asked to confirm if she heard it right when he said, "Yes of course! I don't think you will have any objection"

Anika hesitated all the while she thought about the matter Daksh was talking about.

"Miss.Anika, this has been an order from the higher officials!" He said again when Anika was a bit more surprised as she was just a fresher there and there is no possibility that someone would recommend her to go for an important meeting. But without any more arguments she accepted to go for the official work.

Shivaay who noticed Anika as she came out asked her, "Anika where are you lost?"
"Mm... Nothing Shivaay!" She said when he asked her again, "Are you sure?" To which Anika nodded in positive.

The night before Anika's travel to Delhi, Shivaay got a call.
"Hello... What?!" exclaimed Shivaay and cut the call not before accepting what he had to do.

The next morning, Anika reached the Mumbai airport and was waiting for her manager, Daksh. All the while, she was a bit tensed about her flight journey as she never experienced one before. She was still waiting lost in thoughts when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
