Next morning, Shivaay called Anika.

Shivaay- good morning. When are you coming to Oberio Mansion?

Anika- good morning Shivaay. I'll come around 4pm.

Shivaay- WHAT??? 4PM?? Why so late?

Anika- well, I'll go to see the venue with Aarav.

Shivaay- so, we can meet for lunch?

Anika- I doubt that. Actually, I promised Aarav to have lunch with him. Well, you can join us too.

Shivaay- sure. Text me the place and time.

They kept the phone.

Wow... Like, seriously wow... She is now going on lunch with him? Kitna geheri dosti ho gayi, ek din me?  Ek Daksh gaya, toh ye dusra Aarav aa gaya... Ab mein kya karun? Shit.. I have a meeting.. I am getting late. Then I have to go for lunch, too. I'll meet Anika.

Shivaay blushed at the last thought, and left for meeting.

On the other hand, Anika and Aarav reached the venue.

It was a huge banquet hall, with a garden attached. The area, where the venue was located, was a posh, sophisticated place. Even, the area starting form the parking lot to the garden was cleaned and sophisticated.

Anika, looking at the venue, was somewhat sure that, if this party is successful, she can get more such offers. And thus, enough money to gain Sahil's custody and give him a better life.

Aarav- Anika.. Anika.. ANIKA...

Anika- huh.. what? Sorry, I was zoned out. I..

Aarav- hey, calm down.. it's ok. Let me show you around.

Aarav was showing her the place, while Anika was writing down some important points for the decor.

Soon, it was lunch time.

Aarav- hey, let's leave for lunch. I know a nice place, outside this locality.

Anika- sure. Hey, actually, Shivaay will join us too. Hope, you don't mind?

Aarav- why will I mind? It's completely okay with me.

Anika took the address from Aarav and sent it to Shivaay.

After an hour or so, Shivaay arrived to the restaurant.

Shivaay- are you waiting for long?

Anika- no, we just fifteen minutes ago.

Shivaay- then it's fine. Btw, hi Aarav.

Aarav- hello, sir.

Oh my God. Anika is looking so beautiful. Look at her smile. And her eyes, too. I like her so much. But, should I confess it to her? If she doesn't feel the same, then.

Anika's dress

Anika- Shivaay, what happened?

Shivaay- nothing. I was thinking about a deal.

Anika- Shivaay, please. We came for lunch, and you are thinking about deals..

Shivaay- ok, I am sorry. Meri ma. Anyway, how did you guys came? And, how was your first day?

Anika- we came by Aarav's bike. Actually, ajj Champa bhi nakhre Noor Jahan k dikha rahi thi. And the day was really good so far. You know, Shivaay we enjoyed a lot. And...

WTF!!! By bike? They were sitting too close, then. If her Champa.. er.. scooty was creating problem, why didn't she called me? She told Aarav, but not me... I am her best friends, not this langur... And, just look at her, kab se sirf Aarav, Aarav kar rahi hai... And this langur is also smiling at her, every now and then...

On the other hand, Aarav was also a little confused. He knew that Shivaay Singh Oberio was anything but sweet. But, here, he was apologizing and behaving ever so sweet with Anika.

Soon, the food was served. They had there lunch, with some conversations here and there.

Anika was already love with the place. It was simple, but clean and well decorated. And, after having the food, which was not at all expensive, she made a mental note to bring Sahil.

After their lunch, Jhanvi called Aarav and Anika to Oberio Mansion.

Shivaay- Anika, I am going back home. So, you can come with me.

Anika- but, Aarav...

Shivaay- (gritted teeth) I am sure he has no problem, right Aarav?

Aarav- ya, ya... No problem..

Though Shivaay was angry with Anika for giving so much importance to Aarav, but seeing his girl smiling all his anger went down the drain.Aarav left on his bike, while, Shivaay and Anika on his car.

This was all for today. Hope you liked it.
