Ani : Ooye, you are sounding as if you're not interested to talk with me.

Chandna : Happy realisation

Ani : Babeee!

Chandna : what babe?, i think you're suffering from short term memory loss. You didn't care to call me past one week. Care to explain why you call me now, dump ass?

Ani : Sorry babe, but you know right i love you.

Chandna : No i don't know, tell me fast what's the matter. I Have things to do.

Ani : That's so rude. It's okay I'll call you later. Seems you're busy.

Chandna : Hello drama queen stop your drama. Tell me how's life going with Shivaay. I'm sure it's something about him. Right?

Chandna : About?

Ani : Should i give him a chance?

Chandna : No, don't

Ani : Babeee!... But why?

Chandna : Because i said so. You told me right, you'll never take any decision that upset me.

Ani : But you're the one who ask me to befriend with him.

Chandna : Yes i did, but i didn't ask you to fall for him all over again you desperate bij. Did i?... So my answer is No.

She said strictly. Hearing no reply from Anika, by now Chandna could imagine Anika's exact reaction.

Chandna : Madam stop crying, okay!

Ani : I'm not

Chandna : from here I can tell how horrible your face is looking now (she continue again after a pause)... So,  when are you going to tell him?

Ani : What? But you just said you are not okay with it.

Chandna : Hello, excuse me... I don't want to be a witch between you too, okay. I don't want to carry all the cursings for separating two lovers. What are you waiting for? Just go and tell him.

Ani : Are you really okay with it Chandu? I'm sorry if i hurt you anyway.

Chandna : There is nothing to sorry baby. Yeah, i was angry on him at first, but now he's genuinely wanted to make everything fine. He absolutely deserve another chance. I can see that sincerity in his eyes. And please okay, just tell him as soon as possible. I just can't see his that freaking annoying guilty face. I just wish to slap him hard and punch him on his face for carrying that face. He look so innocent with that face which is not in reality.

Anika giggled to it.

Ani : Are you sure? Should i really...

Chandna : Anii..  Don't make to scream please. I think you need that slap as well. You're such a pain in my ass. You already realized your feelings for him than what's your problem now? Let me remind you, it's you who gonna bare him life long not me. So stop irritate me with your stupid questions. Screaming at you, i think my baby will just pop out right here now.

Ani : Okay okay.. Cool mumma to be. Relax... Just few weeks more than you'll have your baby in your arms. I don't know how Aman handling your mood swings.

Chandna : If you bij eating my half brain, then it's him eating my other half with all those diet charts and meditation classes. I don't know why I'm always surrounded by idiots.

Ani : If you forgot, you're one of the idiot too. Acha, tell me when is the date? Can't wait to meet my cutie pie.

Chandna : Around next month second week. I want you to be with me Ani.

Ani : But baby, you know right I'm going to Canada in two days to join 'The Joyce' event managing as per the agreement. I'll try to take leave okay? I'm sorry if i can't make it, but Radha maa will come there to take care of  you and my cutie pie. Okay?

Ani : So mean, i hate you Betaal bij.

Chandna : I hate you more desperate bij, now get lost. Bye.

*******************

Shivaay try hard to spend most his days with Anika to compensate with her absence after she left to Canada. Both knew that they going to miss each other terribly. But none dare to express it. While Shivaay still stuck with the friend zone tag, he don't want to sound desperate and make her uncomfortable. Anika thought not to make the good environment to an awkward one. Also, she knew even if she open up a little, then she can't stop herself from pouring her heart out. She wanted to confess him in a beautiful way and make it memorable one. Both hide their outflowing emotions very well by faking a smile. Since Shivaay can't come to see her off to airport, Anika took the initiative and hugged him tightly while reaching the parking area. Shivaay was fast enough to reciprocate it with the same emotion. They stayed in the same posture for some time weeping silently on each others shoulders. Simultaneously wiping off their their tears, they broke the hug.

Shivaay just wanted to cage her tightly in his arm and never let go. After so many attempts finally they are together and even ready to start their life as a couple again. This separation surely going to be a hard one to both of them. Shivaay can't help but give a long lingering kiss on her forehead followed by both her eyes mouthing 'have a safe journey'. Anika was more than happy to receive them. She needed it too. While driving back to home, Shivaay didn't leave her hand. He entwined her hand with his left hand while control the car steering with right hand. Anika slowly leaned on his shoulder pretending to sleep. After all staying away from each other for such a long period, 45 days, is not easy.

*******************

Anika boarded her flight, not before texting Shivaay. She missed him today. She went to Oberoi Mansion to take blessings from elders and also with the hope to get a glimpse of him. At last she got disappoint to hear that he left early to office. Omru followed her to airport along with Gowry, Radha and Sahil.

Sahil handed over her a big list of chocolates and other foreign junks,  while rudy give her a list of some protein powders. After some happy and emotional moments, Anika hugged everyone and move towards international departure hall once the announcement was heard. She boarded her flight with heavy heart.

On the other side, Shivaay received Anika's text and he replied her 'happy journey' followed by a smiley emoji. Kept aside his phone, Shivaay engrossed himself in the work. Since he spent last two days with Anika, he totally avoided his office works which is now ended up with back to back meetings and bundles of files to look after. Surprisingly he was happy with the work load. Maybe he can distract his mind from diverting to Anika, he thought.
