Vihaan controlled his anger and came near Shikha who is busy in staring Arjun's car. "So will you come with me now?" he asked in rough tone. "Sure RV" Shikha said with her ever green smile. Her smile is enough to melt his heart, all his anger faded an got filled with love for her.

"So where are we going today?" Shikha asked in excitement. "Stopping jumping in my car, I dont like it" Vihaan said making Shikha sit properly. "We are going to a place which is very important to us" he said making her think. "You and your puzzles" she said rolling her eyes making him chuckle.

Soon they reached a very luxurious mansion, the guards immediately opened gates and saluted. "Where are we?" Shikha asked in surprise. Vihaan opened car door for her and gave his hand. They started walking in a garden till they reach entrance. "Welcome to my home" Vihaan said proudly.

What a beautiful house!! Why did he bring me here? Shikha started talking in her brain forming various theories. "Hello" Neethi-Preeti shouted bringing her back from thoughts. "Hi" Shikha said with a week smile."You are Shikha right? Its good to see you here dear!" Mrs. Rajneesh greeted. "I am Vihaan's mom" she introduced herself while her son is busy on some phone call.

"We heard lot about you" Neethi said in a teasing way which made Shikha uncomfortable. "This is my crazy, naughty Neethi" Vihaan said twisting her ear. "It hurts bro" Neethi punched him. "Neethi you should not hit our bro like that" Preeti pulled Neethi away. "So she is the sweet angel Preeti" Vihaan introduced her. They started talking and it took very less time for Shikha to mingle with them.

"First time I am seeing twins who are exactly opposite" Shikha commented. "They both balance each other. If both are same we will miss all this fun" Mrs. Rajneesh said with warm smile. "Vihu!!" this scream made everyone turn to its source. "Hey babe" Vihaan hugged. "Hey Kaira!!" the twins joined them in their hug. "She is Kaira, my relative!! She is like my daughter" Mrs. Rajneesh introduced her to Shikha.

"Kaira! Do you know who is Shikha?" Preeti asked and Neethi coughed. "I am Vihaan's friend" Shikha offered her hand. "Oh!! You call him by his name! then definitely you are his friend" Kaira shook her hand. "So what do you do Ms. Shikha?" Kaira asked. "I am head of finance in Deeparshi group" Shikha said casually. "So Raunak is our boss?" Preeti asked in confused tone. "Yes" Shikha said and shrugged.

After that they all completely ignored Shikha, Vihaan stayed busy in talking with Kaira. Preeti and Neethi started playing some game. "This is your first time to come in a place like this?" Mrs. Rajneesh stated instead of question. "Actually I go to many places on study and work purpose" Shikha said coldly. "I did not mean it to hurt you. Its difficult for normal people to visit places like this" she explained and left.

Shikha started exploring the large living area which can fit ten houses. Suddenly she stopped in her tracks to find a guy seriously working, she sat in opposite chair of his. After sometime he closed his laptop and rubbed his eyes. Shikha sat smiling looking at all his expressions on seeing her, he started rubbing his eyes again for clear vision. He pinched her and she started laughing like a maniac.

"So I am not dreaming!! What this nerdy, smart, crazy girl is doing here?" he questioned. "What a way to receive your guest Abhay? You are still the same arrogant guy" Shikha teased him. Abhay looked towards Vihaan and his family, he understood why Shikha is here. "So you are that special friend of my bro" Abhay said sitting beside Shikha. "Yeah! Not special but his friend" . . "Then I should not call you with your name. Our relation will change soon. Let me think some nickname" Abhay said placing his index finger on his chin.

"What is this with you and your bro! Why do you both like nicknames?" Shikha rolled her eyes. "Oh!! I really dont know, You are the first person to find some similarity between us" Abhay said with a smile. "Is this the only similarity?" Shikha asked wiggling her eyebrows. "There is one more"he said with a faint smile . ."And what is that?" . . "We both like you" Abhay said with a smile and Shikha blushed. "Come lets go now, otherwise my bro will kill me with his looks" Abhay said. "He is already doing that" Shikha said suppressing her smile.

"Sorry beta! I forgot to introduce you" Mrs. Rajneesh apologised. "I think they introduced themselves" Vihaan said glaring at his brother. "Yeah mom, when someone does not have courtesy to do that . ." Abhay started taunting but Shikha stopped him. This made Abhay silent and all this did not go unnoticed by Mrs. Rajneesh.

"Now I will leave aunty" Shikha said trying to break silence. "No its not fair, we did not spend time with you" Neethi shouted. "Stay till dinner" Mrs. Rajneesh offered. "Next time aunty, I want to spend time with my bro. I have not met him and he will be waiting for me" Shikha explained. "We were busy with Kaira, Sorry" Preeti apologised. "I can understand, we will meet again" Shikha said smiling. "Bhai! Its your duty to make all of us meet again" Neethi ordered. Vihaan bowed accepting her wish and Shikha bid bye to them.

"Shikha! I will not be able to drop you" Vihaan said. "No problem, I can manage" Shikha said. "Today driver is also not there" Mrs. Rajneesh worried. "I will drop her mom, dont worry" Abhay said side hugging his mom. "Come D lets go" Abhay said and they left. "Vihaan I like your choice. She is very good and caring. See she even made Abhay responsible towards us" Mrs. Rajneesh said with a broad smile making Vihaan feel proud of his Shikha.

Deepshikha POV:

"D!! Why are you feeling tensed?" Abhay asked me making me worry more. "You know about me and I do not know what to do" I mumbled. "Your secrets are intact with me and I expect the same from you" Abhay said seriously. "So you did not inform your family what you do" I sated my question as statement. "What is the use in saying them, they never care what I do. Can you believe they do not even ask how I managed my expenses and fee when they did not give me a penny?" Abhay said increasing speed.

"Calm down Abhay! I saw your family today and I understand now what all you went through" I said rubbing his arm. "D! If I say something will you listen?" he asked me and I nodded. "My bro likes you and you will know that soon. Will you accept him?" Abhay questioned. "I have to think about it and I do not think about uncertain things" I tried to sound logical. "Oh common! You too know that he loves you. Now stop bluffing and answer me" Abhay said in no nonsense tone.

"I have to think about it, Your family is so concerned about prestige and pride. I know you will stand for me in future if I face any problems" I said smiling. "I will support you always unconditionally but I do not think my bro deserves you" he said making my eyes go wide. "Why do you think so?" I asked and he frowned. "You deserve the best D! Vihaan and his ego are not suitable for you. This is my opinion, I will be happy to get a sister in-law like you. If you are at home I will spend more time there than finding excuses for staying away" he answered honestly.

. .

"So now you remember your bro" Aditya said seriously crossing his arms against his chest. "Sorry" I said holding my ears. "I was just teasing you" he said hugging me. "Did you miss me? Did you bring gifts for me? How was your trip? Do you have to go again?" I shot questions on him. "Calm down Shikha" Aditya said in dramatic tone. He answered all my questions but his one question made me still. Do you like Vihaan? . . I did not answer him and moved towards my room. "You need not answer me but you should find its answer soon. Its better for you and Vihaan too" he advised and I shut my room door.

I am confused about my feelings, so I called Uttara and shared my thoughts with her. "You have to decide yourself, If you do not love him say that he will understand. You are concerned about his family but think if you are also brought up in that environment you too will act like Vihaan and his siblings. From what you said I think Vihaan loves you. Being loved is the greatest gift" Uttara said.

RV!!! What are you doing to me? Why should I think this much? My head started spinning with these thoughts and I dumped myself in my bed to let sleep consume me.
