shivaay became confused when he asked about Shreya, her expression changed immediately and she started to avoid him but when he heard about her death, he felt guilty for asking those questions to her and decided to leave the topic.

it has been 4 in the evening where shivaay drove back to home with Anika's gift by then he went to her room and saw that scrapbook lying on the floor. he picked it up and kept it in her drawer without opening it. and then folded all her clothes and kept it on the shelf with disbelief that she never gonna change.

he went back to his room, took a nice shower by taking the suite which was designed by anika, he was in a cloud nine when anika gave him the suite along with the kiss. is that just a kiss? or something behind this? shivaay thought and wore the suite with a little smile in his face but somewhere in his heart, he was too curious about the scrapbook but in the same while he doesn't want to disturb anika's privacy.

he locked the house and drove his car towards the studio. he parked his car and went inside where most of the girls couldn't take their eyes off from him. he went towards the lady where he was about to ask where's anika? the lady immediately pointed her fingers towards the studio behind. he gave a quick smile, went inside and saw his anika giving strict instruction to the models when the models saw him they turned their eyes from anika to him where he gulped his throat to control his smile and to remain unnoticed. anika confusingly turned back and stuck her eyes like other girls who drooling on seeing him, there's no difference between her and other girls. shivaay noticed that and made his way towards her where she rooted like a tree. he came in front of her and tugged her hair back.

you are looking so hot... - words uttered from anika's mouth where shivaay silently smiled by then they heard a throat clearing sound and saw nats.

hey handsome ... nice suite by the way where you bought it? - nats asked him which made anika to come to reality.

ok, don't distract her ... come with me ... - nats said and dragged shivaay to the studio and made him sit in the studio where the show takes place. where turned towards the models and yelled to concentrate on the work.

shivaay was kept on checking the watch and more curious than anika regarding the show. he was bit tensed and prayed the god that everything should go well and good where shivaay never ever prayed for himself for any deals. 

the show started where everyone focused on Shakira but shivaay's eyes searched for anika, nats who sat beside him nudged and asked: "searching for anika... she's in the backstage" where shivaay immediately asked: "Shall I go there" where nat's pouted sadly and nodded no to him where he became sad. 

"just a few more minutes, you can see her on stage" - nats said and friendly patted shivaay's shoulder where he nodded with tense.

the show started where models cat walked on the stage and went where his eyes eagerly waited for anika where he never gave any interest to the hot models. then at last Shakira came as a showstopper where everyone litterly drooling on seeing her but shivaay doesn't give any interest on her. then came our lady accompanied by Shakira wearing this

where shivaay litterly lost the world and went to mars with anika, he can't able to take his eyes off from his beauty queen where anika's eyes stuck with shivaay where she confused where he's drooling on seeing her or Shakira. everybody started to clap where shivaay stood up and clapped where nats kept her hands on her forehead because of embarrassment, on seeing him others also joined him.

dashing eyes dashed the show... - host yelled where Shakira gave side hug to anika and kissed her forehead. 

anika came down to the stage where shivaay came and hugged her tightly, whispered: "anika ... you're great ... I am so so proud of you" and kissed her cheeks where anika eyes closed in happiness, not because of the show but because of shivaay's kiss.

than.. thankyou shivaay - anika said while hugging him back.

ahem - nats interrupted them where they both broke the hug and smiled at her, then she hugged anika and greeted anika with a hug. 

I am so so proud of you dear... - she said and wiped her happy tears where anika kissed her on her cheeks and thanked her for everything.

after a few minutes.

by then anika dragged by her two friends and she went, they have been kept on talking where anika's mind surrounded by shivaay and him only. unknowingly she drank 4 shots of vodka and noticed after drinking it. she immediately went shivaay who was talking someone and dragged him in a corner.

"anika ... it's paining ..." - shivaay said while driving.

"its nothing before you caused the pain to me ... right here" - she said in a crying tone while placing her hand in her heart.

 "anika zip" - shivaay said and they reached their apartment where shivaay opened the door for anika but she refused to come out. 

"anika please..." - he said while trying to touch her hand.

"first say sorry" - anika asked him. 

"for creating pain in my heart" - she said while placing his hand on her chest where shivaay became tensed where his hands started to shiver.

"anika leave my hand please" - shivaay said in a shivering tone.

"okay sorry" - shivaay said and asked her to come out where she released his hand from her chest and asked her to come out where she nodded no and raised her hands and asked him to pick her up where shivaay becoming impatient second by second. finally, he scooped her in his arms and made their way towards the lift. and made her stand where anika looked around and exclaimed

shivaay ... no kissing couples... - she said by cupping her mouth where shivaay heart started to beat fast on seeing her cute antics.

anika immediately watched him in a different intention when the lift door closed where shivaay become tensed and asked her what happened? in a shivering tone. where anika stepped forward and shivaay went backward and he pinned in the wall where anika held his two hands above his head with hers.

shivaay ... are you a gay? - anika asked while breaking her kiss where his eyes came out in shock and yelled: no.

then, let's try one more time... - anika asked and leaned towards him by then lift door opened, shivaay took a deep breath and rushed from the lift by dragging anika's hand. they entered their apartment and anika chuckled.

now ... go to your room ...anika - shivaay tried to say in a stern tone where anika laughed immediately. 

please ... shivaay don't even try it... it's too funny - she said and laughed.

anika willfully pulled him down where they both sat in the floor where anika raised his arms and sat on his lap while placing her head in shivaay's shoulder where shivaay didn't try to stop her but alternately hugged her tightly.

"why are doing like this shivaay?"- anika asked him where he remained confused.

"you're disturbing me from yesterday" - anika said in a crying tone.

"sorry anika... I shouldn't have broken your phone" - shivaay said in a lower tone.

"not for that... "- anika said while cupping his face. 

"I think ... no, I am cent percent sure ... I have fallen in love with you" - she said while cupping his face where shivaay's turned on like 1000 volts bulb ... 

"but I don't deserve you" - she said in a crying tone where tears are running out from his eyes.

"why are you saying like that? "- shivaay asked while wiping her tears.

"because you deserve the best and I am not the best"- anika replied and cried in his shoulder.

"you're the best anika" - shivaay replied in a lower tone.

"you know shivaay when I was 17, my mom gave my custody to my dad but they are not good shivaay" - she cried where shivaay listened to her by patting her hands.

"one bad uncle tortured me every day I would ... I would ... I would hide in the bathroom for the whole night sometimes slept there to escape from him... I called anish, Ankit, maamu, maami, mumah, and dada ...none came to rescue... I was alone... alone in the dark" - she cried on his shoulder where shivaay remained dumb, tears started to flow from his eyes on hearing her words.

"then one ... one ... one day what happened he broke the door ... I raced outside ... ran and ran as much I can, by then a car hit me" - anika said while wiping her tears. 

I woke up as 23 years old women ... I remembered nothing which happened in those 6 years... many things could have happened right... now tell me do I deserve you? - anika asked shivaay while pouting sadly.

where shivaay took a deep breath, calmed himself and said: "anika... you're the best and you know what ... you're perfect from the heart ... in fact, I am the luckiest person to have you by my side... understand ... "- he said while hugging her tightly where she nodded yes and nuzzled in shivaay's shoulder where he broke the hug and faced anika.

anika ... promise me one thing... - shivaay asked her where anika confusingly asked him: what?

you will Never turn back anika hereafter ... okay - he said and hugged her back.

but shivaay I want to say one more thing... - anika yawned while placing her head in his shoulder.

no ... just sleep... - shivaay said and patted her back. anika slept peacefully on his shoulder where shivaay lost in his thought.

I don't even know anika ... you have buried this much pain in your heart ... how someone can smile having this much pain in their heart... I promise you anika I will vanish every pain from your heart... its a promise... pinky promise... - shivaay thought.

he scooped anika in his arms and took her to her room, rested her in the bed and covered her with the duvet where his eyes went to the place where he kept her scrapbook by then anika pulled his hand and yawned: "us!!! forever???" where he kissed her hand and said: "us forever".
