Annika's house,
Annika came in kitchen running and sat on the floor near kitchen counter. Her face was covered with her hands. She sat there for a while and then slowly removed her hand from her face. She looked at floor and again she remembered what happened between her and Shivaay some time ago. She blushed heavily and kept her hand on her heart.

A-"What is happening with my heart. Whenever I came in front of him my heartbeats increased. And what was he doing ? Why I am affecting with his touch. Don't know. May be I like him. Annika? What are you thinking? Pagal gayi ho kya? But why I am feeling like this only. Don't know. I have to get up before he came here also."

She composed herself and take deep breath. She then slowly came to the hall where Shivaay was sitting. He was busy in his mobile. At the moment she came there , he looked at her and smiled.

Annika(mind)-"How did he know that I am here? Annika please stop over thinking. "

Shivaay-"What happened? Are you OK?"

A(mind)-"How casually he asked what happened? Whatever happened was only because of him. Oh Annika stop it."

S-"Hello Ms.?? I am talking to you."

A-"Woh... Ha..... Mr. Ober..... I mean Shi..... Shivaay what you liked to eat? "

S-"Whatever you give. I loved to eat it."

A-"No actually. Gauri didn't prepared anything. So I have to cook. So puch liya. Aapko kya khana hai me bana leti hu."

S-"No no no no....."

A-"What? Why you shouted??"

S-"Woh..... Ha..... I mean ki.... It's ok. I don't want anything. "

A-"Are but it's already dinner time."

S-"Hmm......Ok. So let me order some food. "

A-"No need. I'll cook. Give me only 20 minutes. "

S(murmured)-"20 hrs bhi kam pad jaayenge tumhe toh....."

A-"Excuse me? What did you said now??"

S-"No nothing. Actually you are weak na. Rakesh also told ke you need rest. Then takleef uthane ki koi jaroorat nhi."

A-"Are why not? You are guest. And it's my responsibility ki guest ka khayal rakhe."

S-"Tadi kabhi nhi chodti na tum apni?"

A-"What?? Ta..... Tadi???? Means..??"

S-"You don't know?? "

A-"Yaa that's why I asked you na? What does it mean?"

S-"Sach me nhi pata tadi ka meaning?? "

A-"No. Ab kya likh ke du??'

S-"No... But?..... Never mind. Tadi means attitude. "

A-"Oh..... Attitude. Leave all this. Please wait here I'll make something to eat."

S-"Are no. Iski koi...."

But she went from there.

S-"Jaroorat nhi hai. Oh my mata, now I have to eat her burnt food."

In kitchen,
Annika take wheat flour to make rotis. She add flour and water in the bowl at same time. And then started to knead it. But she was not able to knead the dough as she added more than required water in flour. Shivaay was watching her from the door.

S(mind)-"Yeh ladki sab bhul sakti hai. Par khana bighadna kabhi nahi bhulegi."

Here Annika was trying to make dough. Finally she got tired and wiped her sweat from her face. Then all her face covered with flour. Shivaay came to her and laughed at her condition. She looked at him angrily.

A-"Why are you laughing ha? Am I joker??"

S-"No. Actually you looked more funny than any joker."

She looked at him confused. He took his phone from packet and opened camera.

S-"Look"

A-"Woh... Me..... Never mind."

S-"You go and wash your face. I'll make something. "

A-"Ha ok. Ek minute?? You know how to cook?? "

S-"Haa. Why are you surprised?"

A-"No. Usually men can't cook na,so?"

S-"No in our case it's different. "

A-"Our case means??"

S-"Woh..... I mean..... Ha I can cook. I can cook even better than any chef."

A-"Over confidence. "

S-"No. You first eat then talk. Mere haath ki aloo-puri kha ke dekho kabhi. Sab khana bhul jaaogi tum."

A-"What did you say? Aloo-puri?? Kisko pasand hogi? Kitni oily hoti hai. Kal Gauri ne banayi thi. Uska mann rakhne ke liye khayi maine thodi. But kaun khata hai itna oily??"

S-"Khud hi roj khaati thi."

A-"Kya kaha?"

S-"Nahi.. Kuch nhi. Go wash your face first."

A-"Haa."

She went to her room confused. Shivaay looked at her first and then at his phone. He secretly clicked her pics with flour on her face. Shivaay caress her pic and smiled. He then prepared some noodles and coffee for him and tea for Annika.

After sometime Annika came. They both settled on the dinning table. Annika ate noodles and liked it.

A-"Yaa. You are right. You are an amazing chef."

S-"Told you. And thank you."

A-"BTW you like tea?"

S-"No. That's for you.

A-"No no. I don't like tea. I'll have coffee."

S-"What?? You don't like tea?"

A-"Haa. Kuch accha nhi lagta tea pine ke baad. You know something weird..... "

S-"You mean michmichi?? "

A-"Mich..... Mich... Mich What????"

S-"You don't know what is michmichi? "

Annika nodded in no.

S-"Are nhi woh jab pet me kuch ajeeb hota hai. Weird feeling. It's called michmichi. "

A-"Are you really a business man????"

S-"Yaa. Why??"

A-"So, yeh kaisi language bolte hai aap? Watch your language. Pehle woh bola kya tha woh..... Ta..... Tad.... "

S-"Tadi"

A-"Haa wohi. Aur ab yeh mich..... Michmic.... "

S-"Michmichi "

A-"Haa jo bhi hai. Kaisi language hai yeh? Kaun baat krta hoga aise?"

S-"Tum.."

A-"Par bol toh aap reh hai na....."

S-"Haa par woh..... Chodo jaane do."

Om and Gauri came back from party.

Om-"Hello guys"

S-"Hey, aa gaye tum log? How was the party? "

Gauri-"Nice. And aap ka time kaise gaya??"

A-"Amazing "

O & G-"Really " they looked at Shivaay and winked.

A-"Woh..... I mean..... Me abhi aati hu."

She ran from there. Om Gauri laughed at her.

S-"Haslo tum dono. Yaar yeh ladki pagal hai. Khud weired words use kr rahi thi pehle. Ab mujhe bolti hai aisi language kaun use krta hai."

Om laughed at his condition. After sometime Om and Shivaay went back to Oberoi Mansion.

Annika was looking at the moon from widow and smiling remembering something. Gauri came to her and looked at her.

G-"ahh...hmm....."

Annika looked at her confused.

G-"Kya hua Di? Where are you lost?"

A-"Shivaay "

G-"Shivaay?? Shivaay bhaiya me???"

A-"Woh..... I mean... Kuch nhi. Acche hai bade tumhare bhaiya. Bade business man hai par khana bhi bana lete hai."

G-"Are waah. Kya baat hai? You are praising bhaiya?? "

A-"Haa..... Nahi... Woh.. Chalo so jaate hai."

Annika said and both went to sleep.

Oberoi Mansion,
Shivaay came to his room and changed into his night wears. He then came to bed and open his phone gallery. He looked at Annika's pics. As usual he was not able to sleep. So,he went to the pool side.

At 2am,
Pinky came to kitchen to drink water. She looked at shivika room. The lights are on.

Pinky-"Shivaay abtak jaag raha hai? Checks krti hu."

She came in room but it was empty. Pinky goes to pool side and saw Shivaay seating on sofa. He is looking at Annika's pic in his laptop. Pinky smiled at his behavior. She came to him and stands there. But Shivaay is so engrossed in Annika. After 5 mins Pinky said,

P-"Badi khubsurat hai na Annika?? "

S-"Haa. Khidkitod khubsurat. "

He said in a flow. Pinky started laughing loudly. Shivaay came back from his dream land and turned around. He looked at Pinky and gets up from his seat. Pinky came to him and hugs him.

P-"You missed her na??"

S-"So much"

P-"Don't worry. Jaldi sab thik hoga. Sab yaad aayega use."

S-"Pata nhi mom. Abtak mujhe bhi lagta tha. But use kuch bhi yaad nhi hai. Uska favorite khana,uski language tak yaad nhi toh me kaise yaad aaunga. "

P-"Tu un sabse badhkar hai Shivaay. Annika ke jindagi me tujhse badhkar koi nhi hai. Aur yeh baat mujhse accha koi nhi jaanta. Jab maine use teri jindagi se nikal jaane ko kaha,toh woh teri khushi ke liye woh bhi kr gayi."

S-"Mom , kyu phir usi baaton ko yaad kr rahi hai aap? Chod do sab. Me aur Annika sab bhul gaye hai. Aap bhi bhul jao."

P-"Tera aur Annika ka dil bahut bada hai. Par me khud ko kabhi bhi nahi maaf kr sakti uske liye."

S-"Mom,please. Aapko pata hai,me aur Annika us waqt alag hue isiliye toh itne paas aa gaye. Me samajh gaya ki Annika ki kya jagah hai mere jindagi me. Aur khoon khandaan kisi kaam ka bhi hota."

P-"Hmm."

S-"Aur ab jo hum alag hue hai toh woh bhi kisi maksad ke wajah se hi hoga. Mujhe hamare pyaar pe pura bharosa hai. Hume koi kitni bhi koshish krle alag kr hi nhi sakta."

P-"Aisa hi hoga Shivaay. Annika tere bina reh hi nhi sakti. Dekhna jaldi hi use sab kuch yaad aajayega. Ab chal so ja."

S-"Haa chalo."

Both left from there.

Next morning,
All are having breakfast except Shivaay.

Om-"Choti maa, where is Shivaay. "

Daadi-"He left early for office"

P-"Mujhe toh uski badi fikar ho rahi hai. Naa thik se khata hai na thik se sota hai."

O-"Choti maa, jabtak Annika bhabhi thik nhi ho jaati aisa hi hoga."

P-"Hume kuch na kuch krna chahiye."

Rudra-"Haa. Meri dono bhabhi yaha nhi hai. Ghar me bahu ka hona accha hota hai "

P-"Tu indirects apni baat kr raha hai na"

R-"Nahi me toh bas....."

Janhvi-"Haa hume sab pata hai. Waise kab aa rahi hai woh"

R-"Uske mission khatam ho toh aayegi na? Accha hai me tabtak apni bachelor life ji lu."

J-"Par maine kab kaha ki me Bhavya ke baare me puch rahi hu."

R-"Mom. Accha choti maa,you don't worry. Aajse me aur O raat ko bhaiya ke saath rahenge. Toh woh so bhi jaayenge time se."

P-"Ha aisa kuch krna chahiye. Meri baat suno hume kuch krna chahiye SHIVIKA ke liye."

D-"Ek kaam krte hai. Annika aur Gauri ko dinner pe invite krte hai aaj."

O-"Par woh aayegi na??"

P-"Are kyu nhi aayegi?"

O-"Ok"

R-"Done. Par ek kaam krte hai."

O-"Kya??"

R-"Bhaiya ko bhi surprise dete hai. Unhe koi mat batana ki bhabhi ko bula rahe hai hum."

P-"Kyu? Shivaay ko toh pehle hi batana chahiye na?"

J-"I think Rudra is right. Jab Annika aayegi Shivaay kitna khush hoga."

R-"Aur kya pata abhi bataya toh bhaiya may be mana kr denge. Toh surprise hi rehne dete hai."

O-"Ok nice idea."

D-"Chalo phir lag jao kaam pe. Me Annika aur Gauri ko call krti hu. Aur tum dono kisi bahane se billu ko ghar jaldi bula lena."
