Next Day,
      Pinky came to Annika.
P-"Can I come in?"

A-"Are aunty ji aap? Aayiye na,isme puchne ki kya jarurat."

P-"hmmm. Yeh lo tumhare liye layi hu." She gave one packet to Annika.

A-"Yeh kya hai aunty ji?"

P-"Yeh kuch punjabi dresses hai tumhare liye,tumpar bahut acche lagenge."

A-"Par aunty ji,mai ye kaise pehen sakti hu?"

P-"Dekho beta,is umar me yeh white kapde pehnana jaruri nahi hai. Me aise nahi dekh sakti kisi ko."

A-"Par....."

P-"Par war kuch nahi. Dekh aisa koi compulsion nahi hai ke ek widow white hi kapde pehne. Use bhi toh jeene ka haqq hai."

A-"Aunty ji,aap log bahut acche ho. Par phir bhi me....."

P-"Ab agar meri baat nahi maan na,baat hi nahi karungi tumse me. Ab chal jaldi se ye pehen aur niche aa breakfast ke liye."
She turns to leave.

A-"Aunty ji....."

P-"Kya hua? Ro kyu rahi ho?" She said wiping her tears.

A-"Aunty ji,kya me.....me aap.....aapko.....maa bula sakti hu?....."

Pinky smiled and hugs her.
P-"Neki aur puch puch.....jarur"

A-"Thank you maa.....Aapko pata hai,mujhe meri maa yaad nahi hai. Par jabse aapko dekha hai aapme mujhe meri maa hi dikhti hai."

P-"hmmm.Maa se thank you nahi bolte. Chal ab jaldi se."

A-"Ji maa"

      Pinky again hugs her and patted on her back and went from there smilingly. Annika changed her clothes and came downstairs.

At dinning table,
Shivaay-"Mom kaha reh gayi thi?"

P-"Kahi nahi. Shakti ji kaha hai?"

S-"Woh toh breakfast karke chale bhi gaye. Unhe Amit uncle se milne jaana tha kisi kaam se."

P-"Ok. Chal breakfast kar le."

S-"Ha.....mom woh.....Anni....."

      Before he completes his sentence he hears footsteps. He turned and looks towards the voice. He saw Annika came towards them wearing a beautiful green anaarkali dress. He get lost in her. He notices how she is looking breathtaking beautiful in that dress. Pinky looked at him and smiled. She fake coughed. Shivaay came back to his senses and composes himself and starts eating.

P-"Annika,come here. You look beautiful, hai na Shivaay??"

S-"Ha,very beautiful. "

      Pinky and Annika's eyes widened at his reply. Annika blushed and looked down. Shivaay facepalm himself and stands up immediately from his seat try to acted normal.

S-"I.....I am.....am going to office......by.....bye mom."

      He started going but stop in front of Annika. Pinky went from there giving some privacy to them.
S-"Annika"
A-"Ji"
S-"Sach me,you look beautiful in this dress."
A-"th.....thank you"
      She said while looking down and goes from there running. Shivaay smiled at her and went to the office.

At Amit Saxena's office,
      Shakti entered office and started walking towards Amit's cabin. On the other side,Om was late for office,so he came running and collided with Shakti. Shakti falls on ground. Om helps him to get up.

O-"I am sorry sir"
Sh-"It's ok"
O-"May I help you sir?" Kisko milna hai aap ko?"
Sh-"Mr.Amit Saxena,he is my friend."
O-"Oh....Sir's cabin is at this side"
Sh-"I know"
O-"oh.sorry"
      Om goes from there. Shakti came to Amit's cabin.

Sh-"May I come in?"

A-"Are Shakti tum? Ofcourse come in. Aaj yaha kaise?"

Sh-"Maine kaha tha na tujhse,Gauri aur Shivaay ke baare me baat karne aaya hu."

A-"Ha, waise mai bhi yahi chahta hu. Un dono se baat kar leni chahiye hume."

Sh-"Ha. Me jara kaam se out of station ja raha hu 1 week ke liye. Aane ke baad Shivaay se baat kar lunga. Tab tak tu bhi Gauri se baat kar lena."

A-"Ok."

      Shakti and Amit talk about some office work and then Shakti went from there.

At Evening,Oberoi house,
A-"Maa,actually me orphanage jaana chahti hu. Waha ke baccho ko padhati hu na me. Unse mili nahi hu 2-3 din se."

P-"Ok,car leke jao. Aur ha jaldi wapas aa jana."
      Meanwhile Shivaay came back from office.

A-"Maa,mera matlab hai ke,me orphanage hi jaati hu rehne ke liye."

S-"Kya??? Kahi nahi jaa rahi ho tum."

      Pinky and Annika turned to see Shivaay.

P-"Tu kab aaya?"

S-"Ab..... Abhi"

P-"Aur Annika tu kahi nahi jaa rahi."

S-"Aur nahi toh kya"

A-"Par maa me yaha....."

P-"Mujhe kuch nahi sunana. Mujhe maa maanti ho na?"

A-"Ji maa"

P-"Toh meri baat maan le. Yahi rahegi tu."

S-"Ha tumhe..... I mean aapko kahi jaane ki jarurat nahi hai" Shivaay said eyeing Pinky. 

P-"Ha. Tu un baccho se milna chahti hai na,toh jaa mil ke aa. Shivaay,ek kaam kr tu hi le ja ise. Tere saath jaayegi toh wapas jarur aa jaayegi."

S(happily)-"Me???"

P-"Ha. Kyu koi kaam hai kya? Thik hai me driver ko bol....."

S-"Nahi,nahi mom me jaata hu. Fresh hoke aata hu."
      He said and hurriedly went from there. Pinky smiled at her son.
      After sometime Shivaay and Annika left the house and came to the parking area. Shivaay open the door for Annika. She smiled and entered into the car. He also entered into the driver side.

S-"Annika"

A-"Ji"

S-"Seatbelt"

      Annika had never sit in the car so she don't know how to fasten the seatbelt. So,she take seatbelt and try to put but of no use. Shivaay was looking at her every action and smiled at her innocence.

S-"Annika,may I?"

      Annika shyly nodded and looks down. Shivaay came near her. Annika's heart started beating very fast. She closes her eyes. Shivaay put the seatbelt and then looks at her. He smiled and thinks how he affects her.
He then came back to his seat.

S-"Ho gaya"

A-"Th..... Thank you."

S-"Tum mujhe abhi bhi apna friend nahi maanti na?"

A-"Nahi,maanti hu. Kyu pucha aisa?"

S-"Toh phir kal maine kya kaha tha? Dosti me no sorry no thank you,bhul gayi?"

A-"Oh..... I am sorry"

S-"Phir se"

A-"Oh.....I am.....Uff...Kya bolu me ab...?"

      He looked at her confused face and started laughing loudly. Annika also joins him after sometime. Suddenly Shivaay stops and looks at her lovingly. Annika saw him and stop her laugh.

A-"Kya hua?"

S-"Annika,hamesha aise hi haste rehna. Bahut acchi lagti ho haste hue."
      Annika smiled and looked down.

S-"Chalein?"

A-"Ha"
      They both went to orphanage. Shivaay feel proud of her after seeing her care towards children. They spend some time with kids. After sometime they left from there.

S-"Yeh meri life me yaadgaar din banke rahega hamesha."

A-"Wo bacche hai hi itne pyaare"

S-"Ha. Par aur ek wajah thi."

A-"Kya???"

S-"Aaj maine tumhe bahut khush,muskurate hue dekha hai na isiliye bhi."

A-"hmmm"
      Suddenly Shivaay stops the car.

S-"Annika, ice-cream? " He asked pointing towards the ice-cream parlour.

A-"Ok. I love ice-cream. Aur aapko pata hai mere un....."

S-"Agar tum keh rahi ho ki tumhare pati ko bhi ice-cream pasand tha,toh we should drop the ice-cream idea."

      She smiled at his irritated face and said,

A-"Par maine toh aisa kaha hi nahi. Me toh baccho ke liye bol rahi thi. Kyu aapko kya laga??"

S-"K.....kuch nahi. Chalo."

      They enjoy their ice-cream party.
      Some days passed like this. In these days, Shivaay and Annika's bond became stronger. Shivaay fell more  for her with each passing second. But he is afraid to confess his feelings to her.
      On the other side, Annika also fell for him. Firstly, she wants to marry Shivaay because he is rich. But now she is madly in love with him,his personality, his care,his love and not with his money. She wants to live her whole life with him. But she also afraid that if Shivaay gets to know about her identity,he might be hate her.
