"My Grandfather brought this wineyard 70 years ago and since the  our family is one of the finest wine producers in the country." Shivaay said giving a tour to Anika around the wineyard.

"Do you visit here often?" Anika asked following Shivaay.

"I used to visit the Wineyard every week before my accident, I like watching the preparation of the red liquid, it fascinates me." Shivaay smiled offering a glass of freshly squeezed grape juice to Anika.

"Thank you." Anika said accepting the glass and drinking the juice. "It's lovely and tasted delicious." Anika said gulping the contents.

"This grape juice is stored in containers and fermented for a 4 weeks and then aged for one month, to obtain the ready to bottle red wine." Shivaay said explaining the wine making process.

"It's great to have a tour around here and having a chance for wine tasting." Anika said setting on a stone chair near the grapevines. "Thank you."

"Pleasure is all mine." Shivaay smiled sitting beside Anika.

They sat on the bench in a comfortable silence between them as they watched the wine makers collect the ripened grapes in the wooden baskets.

"Wanna have a bite." Anika asked forwarding a box of Turkish delight towards Shivaay.

"Sure." Shivaay smiled accepting Animals offer, "It's my___"

"Favourite." Anika said cutting off Shivaay, "I know."

"You know that? How?" Shivaay asked surprised.

"I have my ways, Oberoi." Anika said flashing a teasing smile.

"Now, I am curious. Pray, tell me how you figured that out, Mishra." Shivaay asked slightly facing  towards Anika.

Anika shook her head and leaned her back against the stone bench in a relaxed manner gently popping a Turkish delight in her mouth, swallowing it as Shivaay watched her intently.

"Remember, the Emerson's business launch party, that was held a few months before your accident?" Anika asked looking at the horizon.

"You were there at that party?" Shivaay asked sounding surprised.

"Off course, Mrs. Emerson and My mother are great friends, I attended that party along with my parents." Anika said silently.

"I never saw you in that party."

"You were so busy relishing the Turkish delight to notice your surroundings." Anika chuckled.

"That's was when I saw you for the first time." Anika said looking into Shivaay's eyes. "You were eating those Turkish delights like, it's just you and those Turkish delights in this whole world. You ate them until they almost ran out of them." Anika laughed.

"That was the first time, I got to taste a Turkish delight and I instantly fell in love with the richness of the dessert. I can never forget the taste of those Turkish delight's nor the party." Shivaay chuckled, "It was after that party, Tia began to behave differently with me, I thought she needed space but what never crossed my mind is she cheating on me." Shivaay let out a deep sigh.

"I am sorry for what happened between you and Ms. Kapoor." Anika said placing her hand on Shivaay's hand that was laying on the bench.

"Don't be." Shivaay said looking at a distance, "I am glad about whatever happened, it was what made me realize Tia's reality."

"That must have broken your heart."

"I won't deny it, it was very painful knowing the girl, I trusted and loved was cheating on my back but the good side is I learnt a lesson for life." Shivaay said looking at Anika, who was looking at him.

"Let's not talk about Tia." Shivaay said waving off his hands, "Let's talk about you." He smiled.

"What do you want to know about me?" Anika laughed.

"From what I had heard, you are single." Shivaay said looking at Anika.

"Yes, but what about it?"

"And__ you know that I am single." Shivaay said making Anika look at him in questioning gaze.

"What are you hinting, Oberoi?" Anika asked turning fully towards Shivaay.

"Erm__ since we both are single, comfortable with each other. Why don't we date?"

Anika laughed out loud making Shivaay look at her in awe.

"What?" Shivaay asked confused.

"We barely know each other, Oberoi and you are already asking me to be your girlfriend? I can be a good digger, you know." Anika asked amused.

"We can get to know each other, we do have a lot of time, for now, I know you are anything but a gold digger." Shivaay said the final part in a serious tone.

"In fact you know more about me than I know about you, if there is anyone, which should be scared than that must me me." Shivaay said.

"Don't need to be scared, Mr. Oberoi, I can assure you that I am not someone, who lures people in to relationship and then sells their organs in black market."

"Even then, I am daring myself to get into a relationship with a Mad woman." Shivaay said in a serious tone making Anika narrow her eyes at him.

"What? I really have doubts about your mental stability." Shivaay said making Anika glare at him and beat him on his arm with her fist.

Shivaay laughed dodging Anika's attacks and holding her hands stopping her.

"So, what do you say." Shivaay asked once their fight and laughs subsided.

"I think___" Anika said making Shivaay nervous, "Sometimes in life, we should dare." She smiled.

"So, Is that an Yes Or what?" Shivaay asked still confused.

"Off course, it's an Yes, Oberoi." Anika rolled her eyes, "Yes, I will be your girlfriend." She grinned making Shivaay sigh in relief and smile looking at her.

"Thank you, Girlfriend."

"You are welcome, Boyfriend." Anika said and they both laughed.

"Congratulations, Shivaay." Omkara said giving a hug to Shivaay.

"Thank you, Omkara but can you keep your voice low, I don't want our parents to know about my relationship yet." Shivaay blushed.

"I am really happy for you, Shivaay." Omkara smiled, "I still can't believe that, you and Anika are a thing now."

"Yes, even I couldn't believe. It happened so fast."

"Are you sure, Shivaay. Anika isn't like Tia?"

"I am sure that Anika is anything but a gold digger like Tia. Yes, she's a bit crazy and mad but not a gold digger."

"Don't you think you are rushing into a relationship?"

"I don't want to regret and suffer the whole life for one mistake, Omkara. Besides I think Anika will be a perfect girl for me and I don't want to miss her because of my insecurities." Shivaay explained.

"If you are happy, I am happy Shivaay. All the best for your new start." Omkara smiled.

"Omkara___" Gauri called running towards Omkara, dressed in his Beige shorts and black T shirt that almost enveloped her.

"Careful there." Omkara said holding Gauri by her arm and steadying her as she was about to trip with the force she came to halt in front of him.

"Omkara, Join us for the carrom game." Gauri invited wrapping her hand around his arm looking up at him.

Omkara placed his hand against Gauri's cheek looking into her eyes as he spoke, "Gauri, you start the game and I will join you after finishing my discussion with Shivaay."

"Okay." Gauri smiled, "Till then Tej uncle, Jhanvi, Rudra and I will play the game." Gauri said running back into the living room as Omkara watched her smiling.

Shivaay cleared his throat gaining Omkara's attention.

"So__ when you are planning to confess your love to Gauri?" Shivaay asked looking at Omkara.

"Shivaay, I___"

"Now, don't say that you don't love her, Omkara. I am not blind, I can clearly see your love for her in your eyes." Shivaay said rolling his eyes.

"Shivaay, I was about to say, that, I do Love her." Omkara smiled making Shivaay grin.

"Finally, your thick head realised your feelings." Shivaay sighed in relief. "Now, what's stopping you from confessing your love?"

"Shivaay, just like I realized my love for Gauri, I want her to realize her feelings and feel my love. I don't want to force my feelings on her." Omkara said in a calm tone.

"My brother has grown up in to a matured man and I am proud of him." Shivaay said patting Omkara's back.

I really hope for Gauri toz realize her feelings for you, Omkara. I really do."

"I hope for that too, Shivaay." Omkara said looking at Gauri, who was playing Carroms in the living room laughing.
