Please pardon with my grammar errors

Anika is sitting on her balcony. She is in Delhi now. Goodbyes are always hard. She really enjoyed each and every day spent with her family. Those two weeks are memorable one. And the few minutes tragedy which meeting him was exceptional from these two weeks memory. She misses Mumbai a lot. Apart from bitter memories, most of her happy moments also spent in Mumbai. Anika stays in hostel while she doing her higher schooling. Anika's father is an army officer. So he don't want her daughters to be dependent. Not even to their parents. So he send Anika to boarding school. But gowry refused to to her father. She don't want to stay alone either. Being in Army, Mr Trivedi cannot stay with his daughters always. So he appointment Gulab Maasi as their care taker. After her schooling Anika got scholarship to pursue her studies in Mumbai itself. By that time anika father is no more. So radha buamma already shifted to Delhi with her family to take care Anika and gowry.

Anika was sipping her coffee while rewinding her past memories. Her trance was broken by Gulab Maasi who came to call her for dinner. Then she straight away went to her bed knowing her favourite friend (sleep) will never come anytime soon. Without wasting time she gulped down two sleeping tablet and lay down on bed. She don't want to think about him nor hunted by his nightmare. So the only way to prevent this is sleeping tablets. Soon sleep over took her, not a peaceful one for sure.

Oberoi Mansion

Shivaay is as usual buzy on his laptop. Only his eyes are stuck on the laptop screen. His mind totally absent from that place. He skipped his dinner also despite everyone's pleases. All his mind now only focused about one person. The person he mate last night. Today was not really a productive day for him. He couldn't pay full attention on his work. And he spend his today by shouting his poor employees. Pouring all his frustration on his employees which is supposed to be by that one person. Anika she is.

Shutting down his laptop. Slowly shivaay lay down on his bed keeping on hand behind his head. He wonder why her thought disturbing him. He cannot forget her and also her betrayal. He was angry on her for sure. Only he knows how he controlled himself from hurting her last night. But he didn't failed to notice her from head to toe. She has changed a lot. She look more beautiful than before. Her eyes with Hazel brown orbs which he love to stare life long without blinking, her sharp pointed nose and pouty lips. But her face not as chubby as before. Her face looks more sharp now.

"God, what am I thinking? She is no more in your life shivaay. Just sleep man" talking to himself he tried to sleep. Tossing here and there but sleep is far away from him. What disturbing him was the accusing eyes of Anika. As if all the faults are his. That look made him restless. Accusing at the same time moised showing she is hurted. He so badly wanted to wipe them off. No but he can't. His ego will never let him do that. More over all the fault are hers, that's what he is thinking. And the look she gave him actually should be given by him to her. Like this his mind travelled to the past.

Flashback Starts

Shivaay is seen in casuals setting his hair in front mirror. Nervousness visible in his face. Why not, because he's going for a date for the first time. Kick starting his Ninja shivaay ride to XYZ girls hostel. It's one of his wish to bring his date in bike.

After waiting for 10 minutes outside girls hostel's wing, his girl walk towards him. 'MINE' he whispered smiling. Later, both of them took their seat at a corner of the cafe, so that no one could notice them. It's a Lakeview cafe, surround with beautiful flowers and bird chirping sound which will make both your heart and mind calm. Since his girl a nature lover, he choose this place. For his girl, Anika. Although they know each other for around 10 months and in relationship for 6 months, this is their first official date. Mostly they will hangout with their fellow friends. Studying in different college was the biggest problem. They have to act as strangers in front others too to avoid more problems.

'What you gonna have?' Shivaay decided to initiate the talk. 'Sorry there is no Indian menu'. It's really awkward to talk formally he thought. Before he spoke further anika spoke.

Ani : You know what, we are behaving like we meeting for the first time.

Shiv : Yeah, even I wanted to tell you this. But kinda true also cause this is our first date madammm FYI.

Ani : Maybe that's why you are behaving like this. Ryt?

Shiv : Hey don't add me OK. I'm normal as always. It's you looking all nervous. If you accept my date night long back then you won't act weird like this.

Ani : Shiv please don't go there again. You know how scared am I then. And it's very new to me going out with a guy, what if my friends or hostel security saw us. Moreover, that time I was busy with my course works and assignments. Obviously I cannot go out.

Shiv : But not every time you busy with assignment. Even I have assignments too. And it's not once I invite for date, it's like few times okay and you denied each and every time.

Ani: Okay okay I agree and I'm sorry. Now we are here together, alone. So don't drag past incidents please.

Shiv : So what you wanna eat. Some Mexican...

Ani : Whatever you like. I'm okay with it.

Like this they cherish their food with more cute fights and teasing. Later both take their seat on a big rock nearby the river. Because anika wanted to watch her favourite Mr Moon. There are still some gaps between them. They also called as the 'untouchy couple' by their friends.
For Shivaay, it's anika's comfort zone matters the most. He don't want to force her in anything. Watching her smiling face is enough for him to make his day. Yeah they will share some of hugs and kisses. But once out of the blue. He didn't complaint either. They are happy like this. A relationship not always based on intimacy he thought.

Watching the beautiful moon and it's reflection on the flowing river water. Nothing will beat this scenery. Slowly Anika scoop closer to Shivaay and place her head on his shoulder.
In response to her act, he slowly intertwined her hand with his and wrap his another arm around Anika's shoulder. Her head on his shoulder, intertwined fingers and arm wrapped around her. 'Peace' is what they found. They didn't talk anything, just enjoying their moment and that beautiful scenery before their eyes.

Later shivaay ride back to drop anika at her hostel. No one want leave each other at the moment. That's why anika keep on avoiding his date request. She knows how much she's addicted to him and same goes to Shivaay. Both knows their effect for each other although they didn't share any intimacy, they are addicted to each other.  Shivaay parked his bike under a tree and started to walk with Anika till her hostel gate. Still holding her hand tighly gesturing her to hold on for some more time. Anika understand him so she didn't protest. By reaching the big hostel gate. Shivaay release her hand unwillingly. How much he wanted stop the time now. Both of them don't know when they will meet again. Although Shivaay is still studying but he already started woking in Oberoi Industries so that he can nourish business skills more well. Anika will be busy with her assignments and part time job. Mouting a silent bye, shivaay wait for her to enter inside hostel. Surprisingly Anika gave him a warm long hug and quick peck on his chick and run into her hostel, not before whispering 'meet me soon'.

Shivaay stood there smiling widely. Ruffling his hair at nape, it is indeed a surprise for him. Then anika wave him a bye from her hostel room window as an assurance that she's safely reached her room. It's a strict order from her over protective boyfriend after all. Shivaay too make way to his home happily to be prescribe more happily. Their first official date ended with a happy note.

Flashback Ends

Soon sleep overtake Shivaay. No matter how much he hate her, she still effect him the same way as before. All their past good memories give him a good sleep, he cannot deny it.
