Annika was still lost in thoughts when shivaay called her.

Shivaay- ghar agaya

Annika- haa?

Shivaay- tumhara Ghar agay, I wish i could drive even slow but here we go. I have dropped you back safely, tell that glaring friend of yours.

Annika- omkara

Shivaay- ya ya whatever. Bye, hmm aur

Annika removed the seat belt peaked his cheeks..

Annika- bye

She ran away blushing, he smiled touching the place her lips just touched.

Shivaay- tu to sach me gaya Shivaay!!!

Annika came home blushing, but as she saw her mom come to the gate she kept her face straight.

Jaanvi - hmm, agayi tum!

Annika- hai mom

Janvi- dinner karliya tune?

Annika- ha mom, ajj bohot kaam tha. Can I go sleep

Tej- ajj match nahi dekna

Annika- nahi papa, wese bhi second innings bhi khatam hone wala hoga na. Kaal hum saath me highlights dekhenge

Tej- jyada tak gayi hai kya Baccha?

Annika-  ha papa

Janvi- I'll bring you haldi wala doodh, acchi neend ayega

Annika- aree nahi na maa, I can sleep without haldi wala doodh

Janvi- Anni did I ask you?

Annika- fineee

Janvi brought hot turmeric milk, while annika held her nose drinking it.

Annika- papa meko nahi pehna

Tej- toda sa aur please

Annika- okay only for you

Janvi- ha ha Sara pyaar papa ke liye hi hai

Annika- Jelo moma

Janvi- pagal, kaal kaam pe nahi jana? Ja Jake soja

Annika- good night mom, good night papa

Shivaay was humming songs and walked in side the mansion. 

Pinky- agaye laad sab! Kaha Gaye the

Shivaay- oh ha wo mom, kuch nahi

Shakti- hmm

Shivaay- kya?

Shakti- hmmmm

Shivaay- dad

Shakti- so Aaj tho tumhara shoot shayad 5pm ko katham hogaya tha na

Shivaay- ha me dost se Milne Gaya

Shakti- kahai uss dost ka naam A se shuru tho nahi hota

Pinky- aur A se end hota hai

Shivaay- wo me haa

Pinky - aur uska pura naam Annika tho nahi

Shivaay-  guys! Come on

Shakti- so this glow on your face has something to do with that girl right

Shivaay- well ya, kind off. I mean we met each other after a while.

Pinky- oh hooo, so kya kya baate ki zaraa batao tho

Shivaay- muje neend arahi hai, so good night

He literally ran upstairs blushing making his parents laugh

Shivaay- you are going to be death of me Annika.. waiting for your answer

Annika kept twisting and turning on the bed thinking of what shivaay told..

Flashback;-

Shivaay cupped her face pulling her closer..

Shivaay- muje tumse kuch important baat karni hai

Annika- iss position me?

Shivaay- you have no idea how I have got a control on myself seeing you so close to me yet holding the distance. Your almond eyes, you chubby cheeks, this pointy nose and you pinky delicious lips.. I'm losing every bit of my sanity.. So just let me finish

Annika's heart started beating in full speed, his talks were sending Shiver down her spine. His smell driving her crazy, his breath fanning across her face, his proximity everything was just giving her ultimatum before she pull his and kiss his lips senseless..

Annika- hmm

Shivaay- from the time I have seen you Annika, you have a whole new impact in myself. You have been one constant in myself, I can't think anything beyond you.
I really Like you Annika, I really do. And this 3/4 days of gap has actually told me that staying away from you is not an option for me.. Look I know Maybe it's not Love or Maybe it is Love I don't know. But I like you very much

Annika- shivaay I

Shivaay- these are my feelings Annika, it's not mandatory that you share the same. And you don't have reply to me now okay, just take your time. But just promise me one thing

Annika- kya

Shivaay- agar tumhara jawab na bhi hai na, you'll not avoid me aur spoil anything between us.. Promise

Annika- promise

He smiled as he placed his lips on her forehead and let it cherish the moment for a few seconds longer.

Shivaay- so chalo, I'll drop you home

Annika could only nod with a blush

Shivaay- we can catch up some time soo right

Annika- definitely

Flashback ends:-

Annika- abb Shivaay ko kya jawab do,? That I might actually replicate his feelings! That I like him badly too

But what if all these emotions drive us in a wrong way, in a path of pain and heartache?

What if one fine day all this liking, attraction get's over? Will moving ahead be easy, that to for me? No way ..

I'm nervous, I'm scared.. what do I do???

Shivaay- bhaaiiiii you are the best, besttttt beeessstttttestttt

Srk- okay okay sunliya mene, agge bhi kuch bol na

Shivaay- I told her every thing that was in my heart. I'm feeling so light bhai, and I'm feeling on top of the world

Srk - that's some great news

Shivaay- but bhai, she actually said nothing

Srk - I told you that you have to give her some time atleast shivaay

Shivaay- okay, so will three hours be enough? Or six hours?

Srk - Shivaay, you gotta stop acting like impatient idiot okay

Shivaay- what idiot bhai? I'm serious

Srk - look you need to understand their are certain ways people think about Bollywood and the actors.

Shivaay- come on bhai that's so stereotypes. App ka love marriage hai, and going so loyal and full of life. Akki bhai, Ajay bhai aur bhot sare acche couples hai yaar

Srk- shivaay okay just hear me out. I'm not saying that Annika might be stereotype girl. But maybe she would need sometime to trust into this new relationship. She needs to know that if at all she bonds emotionally with you, she wouldn't regret. Just be patient, don't show that you have given up. Try keeping her happy always, not forsake.
Eventually she might bring her words and her emotions in her lips. And again stop being an impatient idiot

Shivaay- okayyy

Srk- abb aur kya so Jaa, mere biwi meko ghar se nikal degi abhi aur baat Kiya tho raat ko. So soja aur mereko bhi sone de bhai

Shivaay - sorry, good night

Shivaay- uff this is going to be hell long time thennnn

So what will annika's reaction be?
How will shivaay actually wait for her answer ?

Take care
Lot's of love
Parimala
