Oberoi Mansion,
      Shivaay came back in party. Pinky came to him.

Pinky-"Shivaay kaha the? Everyone is asking for you."

Shivaay-"Yahi tha mom important call tha."

P-"Accha ok. Sun, Annika ko dekha kya? Kahi dikhayi nhi de rahi." She said looking around.

S-"I don't know" he said and went from there.

P-"Ajeeb hai. Hamesha Annika ke baare me kuch bhi kaho worried hota hai. Kuch hua hai kya? Me Annika ko dhundhti hu. Wahi batayegi ki kya hua hai Shivaay ko."

Janhvi-"Pinky kaha jaa rahi ho? "

P-"Ji woh me...."

J-"Leave it. Chalo koi milna chahta hai tumse."

P-"Kaun?"

J-"Mrs. Agrawal. Aao."

P-"Are par me woh Anni..... "

J-"Aao Pinky "

    She dragged Pinky with her.

Pool side,
      Annika was still crying. Suddenly she stops and wiped her tears.

Annika-"Me kyu ro rahi hu? Majaak bhi samajh nhi aata. Akdu kahi ke. Faltu me gussa ho gaye hai. Par ab jab gussa ho bhi gaye hai toh manaana bhi padega. Kya kru me??"

    She composed herself and came in the party. She was searching for Shivaay. But he was not there. She was looking around when she saw him at the door talking with some guests. She ran to him. Shivaay notices her but he continued his conversation with guest. After some time that guest left. Annika immediately came in front of him.

A-"Shivaay me....."

    Shivaay looked at her once and left from there.

A-"Shivaay.... Shiv..... Chala gaya. Bagadbilla kahi ka."

    Annika ran behind him. He stopped as he saw Shakti and Tej there. He came to them and they started discussing about some office work.
      Annika was about to come to them when Janhvi called her for some work. She nodded sadly at Janhvi and left with her. Shivaay was looking at her every action.

Shakti-"Shivaay..... "

S-"H..... Haa??"

Sh-"Kaha dhyaan hai tumhara? Bhaisahab kuch puch rahe hai tumse."

S-"Oh. Sorry bade Papa woh actually..... "

Tej-"It's ok. Shakti come with me. We have to attend some guests."

    Tej and Shakti left from there. After some time music starts. Rudra and Om starts dance with Gauri and Bhavya. Other couples also joined them. Shivaay came near the stage and saw Annika was looking at all couples with admiration. Shivaay smiled at her. Annika feels like someone watching her. She looked around and saw Shivaay. She smiled widely. Shivaay turned his face other side.

A-"Haww. Pehle toh mujhe hi dekh rahe the. Aur ab..... Kya kru me? Kaise manau Shivaay ko? Haa. Idea....."

    After dance Rudra and Om came to Shivaay.

Om-"Shivaay "

S-"Haa"

O-"Are you ok? "

S-"Mujhe kya hua hai?"

Rudra-"Kuch toh hua hai."

S-"Kuch nhi"

O-"Are bata toh kya hua hai? Kyu aise Sadu Singh Oberoi banke ghum raha hai??"

    Shivaay was about to say something but Annika came there. He looked at other direction. OmRu looked at him confused.

A-"I want to ask something? "

R-"Haa didi bolo na kya puchna hai."

A-"Tumse nhi. Shivaay se "

    Shivaay looked at her. She smiled. She said,

A-"Shivaay, would you like to dance with me?"

    Shivaay looked at her shocked and surprised. OmRu smiled at him teasingly. Annika was looking at him with puppy eyes. He said,

S-"NO"

OmRu-"What?? Why??"

    Shivaay looked at them angrily and about to go from there. Annika came in front of him.

A-"Shivaay please ek....."

S-"No means no. Ek baar kaha toh samajh nhi aata hai kya??"

    He said and left from there.
(Dance sequence hona chahiye tha na? Koi baat nhi. Jaldi hi hoga 😉😉😉 )

    Tears formed in her eyes. OmRu came to her. She wiped her tears.

O-"Kya hua Annika? Kuch hua hai tum dono ke beech?"

    Annika nodded in no and smiled.

R-"Kuch toh jaroor hua hai didi. Batao hume."

A-"Are kuch nahi Rudy. Mujhe kuch kaam hai me aati hu."

    She said and left from there.

R-"O,kuch toh gadbad hai. Chalo bhaiya se puchte hai."

O-"Nahi. Jaane do. Woh dono khud solve krenge."

R-"Are par....."

O-"Rudy, thik hoga sab you don't worry."

R-"Ok. "

    Soon party ended and all guest left. All family members were tired so they immediately left to their rooms for rest.

Guest room,
    Bhavya was also ready to sleep now. But Annika was standing at the widow and looking outside.

Bhavya-"Annika didi "

A-"H..... Haa"

B-"Chaliye. So jaate hai. Aap bahut thak gayi hogi na?"

A-"Haa" she said but suddenly she remembered something.

A-"Bhavya tu so ja. Me pani leke aati hu."

B-"Ok "

    Annika said and about to go out of room when Rudra enters.

R-"Didi aap abhi tak soyi nhi. Mujhe laga aap so gayi isliye me aa gaya."

A-"Kyu??" She said teasingly.

R-"Woh..... Me..... Woh....."

A-"Sab samjhti hu me. Par aaj engagement hui hai tum dono ki Shaadi nhi. Hai na Bhavya? " 😉

    Bhavya blushed.

A-"Ok jaldi bolo kya kaam hai?"

R-"Mujhe Bhavya ko ice-cream khane le jaana hai."

A-"Woww. Toh jao na?"

R-"Haa. Aap bhi chalo"

A-"Tum dono ki midnight date me mein kya karungi? "

B-"Didi aap bhi na? Chalo aap bhi."

A-"Nahi tum log jao."

R-"Ok.Didi aapke liye bhi le aaye ice-cream?"

A-"Nahi. Mujhe nhi khana hai na ice-cream. Aur upar se tumhare bhaiya ko pata chalega toh me to gayi kaam se."

B-"Ok. Didi aapko pani chahiye tha na me leke aati hu."

A-"No no. Tum log jao. Me khud laati hu."

    Ruvya smiled and left from there after wishing her good night.
    After they left,Annika came out of the room and went to Shivaay's room. She knocked but no response. She opened the door but he is not there.

A-"Room me rehna hi nhi hai toh room hai hi kyu iss aadmi ki" 😂😂😂

      She murmured and came to the pool side. But he was not there also.

A-"Haww. Kaha gaye yeh? Ab kaha dhundhoo?"

    She looked around but didn't find him. She decided to go back in the room. She was going through the hall when she saw him working on his laptop sitting on the sofa.
    She smiled and came to him. Shivaay was working on laptop. After hearing foot steps he looked up and saw Annika. He again starts his work.
    Annika came to him and sat beside him.

A-"Shivaay..... "

S-"....."

A-"Shivaay I am sorry. I know ki maine jo kaha aapko bura laga. But sach me me toh bas maj....."

S-"Majaak kr rahi thi yahi na?"

A-"Haa Shivaay. Maine socha....."

S-"Tumne socha yeh aadmi pehle se hi itna pareshaan hai ise aur pareshaan krte hai , hai na?"

A-"Nahi Shivaay me toh bas....."

S-"Enough Annika. I don't want to hear anything. Please go."

A-"Jabtak aap mujhse baat nhi krte me yahi baithi rahungi."

S-"Ek baar kaha na ki I don't want to talk to you. So go and sleep"

    He shouted at her. She scared and got up to leave.  She walked two three stpes. Her leg hits with the sofa and she falls down.

A-"Aah....." She cries.

    Shivaay looked up and saw her on the floor holding her leg. He got up and ran to her. He sits on floor and took her leg in his hand and started looking for any injury.

S-"Dhyaan kaha hai tumhara? Dekh ke nhi chal sakti? Bahut dard ho raha hai kya?"

    Annika was only looking at him and smiling.

S-"Annika, me kuch puch raha hu. Batao kaha lagi hai."

A-"Kahi nahi...."

S-"Matlab...."

    She smiled and got up from floor and jumped in happiness. Shivaay was looking at her confused. Then he realized that she was faking it. He got up.

S-"What was that?"

A-"Dekha aapne baat ki na mujhse. Mera plan work kr gaya"
😉😉😉

S-"Yeh koi majaak nhi hai. Thodi der pehle bhi yahi kiya tumne aur ab bhi. Sab majaak hai na tumhare liye?"

    He said angrily and turned other side. Annika came to him and held his hand.

A-"Shivaay, I am sorry na. Aap baat nhi kr rahe the toh maine socha ki....."

S-"Ki ek aur baar waise hi krte hai."

A-"Shivaay I am sorry. Please maaf krdo na mujhe. Phir me kabhi aisa nhi krungi promise. "

S-"It's ok. Now go and sleep."

A-"Shivaay please, mujhse baat kro. Agar aap ne baat nhi ki toh mujhe neend hi nhi aayegi."

S-"Kyu?"

A-"Pata nhi. Jabse hamari fight hui hai kuch accha nhi lag raha hai mujhe." She said sadly.

S-"Hmm. Ok. Ab kr raha hu me baat. Ab jao so jao.

A-"Pehle batao aapne khaana kha liya?"

S-"Nahi."

A-"Kyu? Chaliye khaana kha lijiye. Me laati hu."

S-"No. Mujhe bhuk nhi hai. Tumne kha liya na?"

A-"Haa. Aur medicines bhi kha li."

S-"Good. Tumse gusse se hi baat krni chahiye. Phir sab maanti ho."

A-"Hmm. Ab me gussa ho jaaungi agar aapne khana nhi khaya toh."

S-"Are par mujhe..... "

    Before he completes Annika left from there. He smiled at her. Annika came back with food.

A-"Chalo ab kha lo."

S-"Tum bhi khao kuch."

A-"Nahi. Mera ho gaya. Aap khalo aur phir so jaana."

S-"Ok. Ab tum jao. Thak gayi hongi na? Aur kal office bhi hai."

A-"Haa. Jaati hu. Good night"

S-"Good night"

    Annika went to her room. And Shivaay also left from there after finishing his work.

Next Morning,
    Annika came to the hall with her luggage.

R-"Didi kuch din aur ruk jao na?"

A-"Rudy ab tumhare Shaadi me toh rukna hi padega na?"

R-"Par....."

Daadi-"Use tang mat karo Rudra. Annika yeh lo tumhare liye."

    She gave one packet to Annika.

A-"Yeh kya hai daadi?"

D-"Tumhari payment. "

A-"Daadi sab expenses toh de chuki hai aap. Mujhe khud ke liye kuch nhi chahiye. Ghar ka hi function tha na."

P-"Par phir bhi ther kaam ke liye kuch toh dena chahiye na"

A-"Par aunty..... "

D-"Bado ki baat maante hai puttar."

    Annika smiled and took blessings from daadi and accept that payment.

A-"Daadi ab me chalti hu. Mujhe office jaana hai. Gauri tujhe aane ki jaroorat nhi hai "

J-"Nahi beta. Jabtak tum thik nhi ho jaati , Gauri tumhare saath rahegi. Tum jao office woh evening me aa jaayegi."

A-"Ji aunty thik hai."

S-"Annika chalo me tumhe drop krta hu. Mera bhi kuch kaam hai upcoming events ko lekar."

A-"Ok "

    Annika hugs everyone and left with Shivaay.

In car,

S-"Now I want party."

A-"Party?? Kis baat ke liye?"

S-"Tumhe salary mil gayi na, toh party toh banti hai."

A-"Ok done."

S-"So aaj hum date pe chalte hai?" 🙈🙈🙈

A-"What??"

S-"Kya hua?"

A-"Kya kaha aapne abhi?"

S-"Are tum mujhe party de rahi ho na. Toh maine bas use date kaha that's it." 😌😌😉😂😂

A-"Hmm. But not today."

S-"Why?"

A-"Aaj bahut kaam hai office me."

S-"Haa toh? Date ke liye evening ke baad jaana hai."

A-"But.... "

S-"Please Annika. Dekho agar tumne mana kiya na toh me phirse tumse baat nhi krunga. "

A-"Accha??Blackmail kr rahe hai aap mujhe haa??"

S-"Aisa hi samajh lo. Bolo ab chalogi ki nhi?"

A-"Ok done,happy? "

S-"Yup."

    Annika smiled at his happy face. Soon they reached at Annika's office.

Annika's office,
Annika's cabin,
    Annika and Shivaay came there.

A-"Shivaay these are the files about our upcoming events. "

S-"Abhi nhi. Mujhe kuch important kaam hai."

A-"Kya?"

S-"Office jaana padega."

A-"Ok. "

S-"Date ke baare me mat bhulna"

    He winked at her. She blushed and nodded.

S-"Aur haa aaj woh dress.... "

    Before he completes Aarav came in her cabin without permission and came to her desk.

Aarav-"Annika yaar kaha ho tum?Kal bhi nhi thi. Call lagaya uthaya bhi nhi."

   Aarav said without noticing that someone is there. Shivaay looked at him confused. He then looked at Annika.

(Annika-A,Aarav-Aa)

A-"Are sorry Aarav. Actually I was busy in some event. Toh call back nhi kr paayi. I am sorry."

Aa-"Are it's ok. But I was worried for you. Thank God you are ok. "

    He said and hold her hands. She smiled at him. Shivaay got up from his seat all shocked.

S-"Annika..... "

    He said loudly. Annika and Aarav looked at him.

A-"What happened Shivaay?"

S-"Who is he?"

A-"Oh ha. Bhul hi gayi me. He is Aarav. Aarav Raichand. "

S-"Yaha kya kr raha hai? "

A-"Are inke mom-dad ki anniversary party ki planning me kr rahi hu na?"

Aa-"Ek minute , who is he Annika"

A-"He is Shivaay. Shivaay Singh Oberoi. "

Aa-"Oh so you are the great Shivaay Singh Oberoi?"

    He said coming towards Shivaay and hugs him. Shivaay didn't hug him back. He was looking at Annika angrily. Aarav broke the hug.

Aa-"Bahut suna hai maine aapke baare me. Milkar accha laga."

S-"Hmm. Thank you. "

Aa-"But Annika , yeh yaha kya kr rahe hai?"

A-"Are woh....."

S-"She is event planner for our industries.  And more than that she is my friend."

Aa-"Oh that's great. You are Annika's friend and I am also her friend."

S-"I am her old friend." 😌😌

Aa-"Haa. Hum toh abhi abhi mile hai. But haa me hi accha friend hu Annika ka ,hai na Annika?"

    Annika smiled and Shivaay looked at her shocked.

Aa-"Are ha bhul hi gaya me this is for you."

    He said and gave her one chocolate box. Annika looked at him happily.

A-"Thank you so much Aarav. You are so cute"

S(mind)-"Cute?? Mujhe toh akdu bolti rehti hai. Aur usne kuch diya aur isne le liya. Maine kuch diya toh leti bhi nhi hai. Nakhre dikhati rehti hai hamesha. And who the hell is he? Himnat kaise hui meri Annika ko haath lagane ki"😂😂😂😂😂

A-"Shivaay..... "

S-"H..... Haa"

A-"Kaha dhyaan hai aapka?"

S-"Kahi nhi."

A-"Ok. Aarav ab hum plans discuss kre?"

Aa-"Haa."

A-"Shivaay aapko kuch kaam tha na. Aap jayiye hum baad me dekh lenge sab files."

S-"No no no. Means mujhe kuch kaam nhi hai. Mishra ka message aaya tha. I am free. Tum inka kaam kro tabtak me yahi hu. Aapko koi problem nhi hai na?" 😂

Aa-"No. Mujhe kya problem hogi. "

S-"That's great. Annika woh files do mujhe. Me waha baithke dekhta hu. You carry on. "

    Annika was confused about his behavior. She gave files to Shivaay. Shivaay went to the sofa and sat there. He opened one file but his eyes on both of them.

    Annika and Aarav was discussing about their plans. They cracked jokes and smiles in between the work. Shivaay was burning in jealousy.

    After sometime their work completes. Shivaay sighed in relief.

Aa-"Ab mujhe chalna chahiye."

A-"Ok "

Aa-"Bye. Me chalta hu Mr. Oberoi."

S-"Thank you"

Aa-"Ji....."

S-"I mean now I have some work and so....."

Aa-"It's ok. "

      Aarav said and turned to go. But stops and came to Annika.

Aa-"Annika..... "

A-"Yes....."

Aa-"Aaj evening ko free ho tum?"

A-"Why??"

Aa-"Kya hum aaj bahar jaa sakte hai. Coffee ke liye."

    Shivaay looked at him shocked. Annika looked at Shivaay and said,

A-"Actually Aarav I am busy."

Aa-"Are office ke baad. Please chalo na"

A-"Nahi Aarav aaj nhi. Aaj mujhe kuch aur important kaam hai."

    She said looking at Shivaay. Shivaay smiled at her proudly.

Aa-"Annika please....."

A-"Aarav phir kabhi. I promise hum phir kabhi jaayenge."

    She said and Shivaay was shocked. 😂😂

Aa-"Ok done. Par ha bhulna mat. Ab me chalta hu."

A-"Ok. "

Aa-"Bye."

A-"Bye."

      Aarav left from there. Shivaay came to Annika.

S-"Who was he?"

A-"Aarav. Abhi aapne baat ki na?"

S-"Haa. Par yeh itna friendly kyu behave kr raha tha tumse?"

A-"He is very friendly. He is so cute hai na?"

S-"Cute?? My foot. Door raho usse"

A-"Why?"

S-"Kyuki me keh raha hu. He is not good guy."

A-"Shivaay aap abhi mile ho usse. And he is nice guy. Bahut accha hai."

S-"Jo bhi ho. Aur tumne use promise kyu kiya ki tum uske saath jaogi"

A-"Shivaay coffee ke liye hi toh puch raha tha na?"

S-"Phir bhi "

A-"Shivaay sirf coffee ke liye jaa rahi hu. Aapke saath toh date pe jaa rahi hu na?"

    Shivaay looked at her shocked.

S-"Matlab? Woh aur me kya same hai tumhare liye?"

A-"Shivaay. Jaise aap friend ho woh bhi toh mera friend hai na?"

S-"Matlab koi difference nhi hai hum dono ki Friendship me and Aarav aur tum me?"

A-"Shivaay maine aisa kab kaha?" 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀🤦‍♀

S-"Par tumhara matlab toh yahi hai na?"

A-"Shivaay calm down. Kya hua hai aapko? Chalo kaam krte hai ab. Phir mujhe Aarav ke party ka bhi kaam start krna hai."

S-"You know what? Tum uska hi kaam krlo mera krne ki koi jaroorat nhi hai."

A-"Kya hua hai Shivaay? Aise kyu baat kr rahe hai aap?"

S-"Me chalta hu"

A-"Shivaay.....Accha thik hai. Ek baat batao aap evening ko mujhe ghar se pick krenge yaa phir yahi se."

S-"....."

A-"Shivaay....."

S-"Jo tumhe thik lage woh kro. Me jaa raha hu."

    He said and went towards the door.

A-"Akdu kahi ke....."

    Shivaay came back to het.

S-"Suna maine. Haa hu me akdu. Ab sab tumhare uss Aarav jaise cute toh nhi ho sakte na." 😂😂😂

A-"Shivaay..... Kahi ki baat kaha leke jaa rahe hai aap."

S-"Me nhi tum. Jaa raha hu me. Ab jitni chahe burai krlo meri."

A-"Ok. Me aapka ghar par wait krungi evening me. Jaldi aana"

    She said and smiled sweetly. Shivaay looked at her angrily and left from there.
