XXXII. JSO & Secret ✨

Recap ~
My dream guy, my hero.

"Beautiful paintings Mr.Rohit!" Anika appreciated as she took a glance at the art works in the exhibition.
"Thank you Ms.Arora!" Rohit, the artist spoke out of happiness.
"I would prefer Anika." She smiled to which he nodded in response. They both were busy talking to each other, laughing and smiling in between while Arnav and Shivaay watched them, much annoyed. Arnav was definitely protective about his sister, while Shivaay about his girlfriend.

Launching the exhibition to the art lovers who visited, Anika was called by Rohit to the center of the hall. He brought out a painting covered under a veil and handed it to her stating, "I would consider this one to be the best of my works and a very dear one to my heart."

Removing the veil, she was surprised to see her own self on the canvas painted beautifully. Seeing it from the art perspective, she thanked Rohit but somewhere she did feel a little awkward remembering his last words which resembled hers when she revealed Shivaay's painting. Shivaay disliked whatever Rohit did, couldn't he draw something/someone else, why his girlfriend? Chucking his thoughts away, he then concentrated on the media interviewing his girlfriend.

Anika and Shivaay being girlfriend and boyfriend was still a hot topic in the world and the reporters didn't fail to notice Shivaay in the exhibition nor ask questions on their relationship. Both of them were from renowned families and background, well educated and had their own identities, wouldn't they get this attention?

As they reached back to the hotel, Anika was packing her bag to leave for London when Shivaay entered her room. Looking at her struggling with her packing, he told "Let me help you!"
"Nooo... Thank you Shivaay!" She nervously smiled raising his curiosity.
"Well what's the secret in your bag that you want to hide from me?" He asked leaning against a nearby wall to which she chuckled answering, "My dream guy's picture is in here."

In minutes, she regretted giving that answer to him.
"Oh really?" asking, he strode to her and held her by her waist, raising their proximity and she involuntarily closed her eyes catching hold of his shirt, totally leaving her grip on her trolly. That was the spoiler, all her clothes fell on the floor.

The floor was a complete mess by then, her truth revealed that she was just dumping her clothes and trying to close the trolly but miserably failed in it. Shivaay looked down and bursted out laughing making her frown.
"I'm not fond of packing my stuff." She told and he tried his best not to laugh but ended up doing the same.
"Shivaay..." She pouted as she dragged his name cutely. He kissed her cheek not before lending a hand in her packing.

Anika, Arnav and Shivaay set out for coffee before they started their journey to London. They were in the middle of a conversation when a voice disturbed them.

"Hey hi, a pleasant surprise." Rohit greeted as he stopped at their table and Anika smiled while the guys looked grumpily at him.
"I have been given accommodation in this hotel. You are also staying here?" He asked cheerfully to which Shivaay answered in his not very sweet voice, "Not anymore. We are checking out buddy!"

The conversation didn't last for long as Arnav left to pay the bill while Shivaay interrupted them talking about their departure. Rohit bid a bye not before taking her contact number.

"What was the need?" Shivaay asked raising his eyebrows and she looked back at him, not really understanding his context.
"You didn't give me your contact number immediately but for him alone, you gave it instantly without a second thought." He frowned at her and she chuckled.
"Oye JSO I gave him my professional number which would be with my assistant all the time and not me." She told and he grinned widely, very much satisfied with her answer.
"What's JSO by the way?" He asked as they walked out of the cafe while she replied suppressing her laugh, never failing to notice any of his expressions while she spoke to the artist, "Jealous Singh Oberoi."

Reaching London after an eight hour journey by car, the trio rested for the night not before having a quick chitchat with Dadi and Khushi.

"Panda, get up!" Shivaay was trying to wake his sister up the next morning but she was only rolling the bed much to his dismay.
"Arnav is waiting for you." Khushi heard again from his brother and that was the trick. She sat up straight on the bed looking at her brother smirking at her.
"This is bad of you billu." She frowned realizing her brother simply told and he chuckled as he sat next to his sister, "Oho Panda, Arnav has really been waiting for you."

"Really?" Her eyes twinkled and he nodded in response as he smiled at her. She was excited to get ready and jumped out of the bed when Shivaay asked her "Khushi, you love Arnav right?" making her stop at the moment.
"You know me so well, bhaiyya. Proud of you!" Her cheeks flushed as she said not forgetting to chuckle at the end.
"I'm so happy for you." He hugged her when she said, still in his protective arms "And Anika is my bhabhi, right Bhaiyya?" making his cheeks turn crimson red.
