Happy holi everyone! May this holi bring all the happiness to all of you. Enjoy reading!

Everyone was so tired after the mehendi function. Anika was sleeping in her room peacefully. Her beautiful sleep was disturbed by sun rays. She woke up lazily and completed her daily routine.

She sees her hands were completely red with mehendi. She remembered Sakshi's words.

Sakshi (in flashback): Anu beta, kehthe hai the bright the colour of mehendi, the more would be the love that blossoms.

She was thinking about Shivaay and watering the plants. Just then his message arrives.

S: Good morning Anika!

Anika smiles and texts him back.

A: Good morning Shivaay!

S: Kya kar rahi ho!

A: I am watering the plants.

S: Hmm.

Anika and Shivaay wanted to continue the conversation when Anika gets an idea to call Shivaay for lunch.

A: Shivaay are you free for lunch!

S: Yes!

A: Toh phir mere ghar aa jaiye.

S: Alright then.

A: Meine Gayathri ma, Vikas papa, Om, Gauri, Prinku, Ranveer, se keh diya hai. Sabhi aa rahe hai lunch pe.

Shivaay was disappointed for a while as he wanted to spend some time with her alone. He then mesages Anika.

S: Okay then! Meet you at lunch.

A: See you soon.

Shivaay was happy that he could meet his Anika. He went to his wardrobe to find some perfect clothes for him.

Shivaay (in mind):

What is this? Why am I searching for a simple costume. Will Anika like me in blue? Or should I try red one? Yaar Shivaay, wear the ones you wear daily. I need to clear my mind. Espresso will help me for sure.

He goes and prepares espresso for him. He was in his control after having it. He puts on a black three piece suit and was setting his hair.

Shivaay(in mind): Not bad! You are looking great in this one. I think Anika will definitely like it.

He was struck in his thoughts while Prinku comes to him.

P: Wow bhaiyya! You are looking awesome!

S: Thanks Prinku.

P: Bhaiyya Anika bhabhi had called us for lunch.

S: Yeah Prinku I know.

P: Kaise bhaiyya!

S: She messaged me Prinku. He said in a usual tone.

P: Ooh, Message! Chatting and all ah!

S: Aisa kuch nahi Prinku.

P: Bhaiyya don't tell me you have got ready like this for my bhabhi.

S: I.... woh.... I did not get ready for her. I have a meeting to attend. I will join you all for lunch okay!

He said in one go and and left with the file leaving a laughing Prinku behind.

Shivaay and Priveer have their breakfast. Shivaay and Ranveer leave. Priyanka went to Malhotra Mansion as she was getting bored.

Prinku was welcomed by Anika. Both chat for a while. Gauri, Mallika and Bhavya also join them.

Mallika takes Anika's hands.

M: Wow Anika! Your mehendi looks so bright!

Gauri: Shivaay bhaiyya will be perfect husband

On hearing his name itself a small blush forms on Anika's face. Anika enters her lala land.

MallikaBhavya: Anika/ Anika didi!!

They bring Anika to reality.

A: Kya hua.

Everyone: Kuch nahi. They say with a smirk clearly visible on their face.

Anika was completely embaressed.

Lunch:

Everyone was sitting in couples.

Sakshi: We will organise haldi function for tomorrow Gayathri.

G: Theek hai Sakshi.

Shivika maintained eye lock.

R: Di jiju, pehle khana kha lo phir romance kar lena!

This bought them to reality. They were embarrassed completely. Breaking the eye contact, Shivika focussed on food.

Rudra: Ma! I need your permisssion.

S: Kis liye Rudy!

R: Ma we all have organised a party for di and jiju! Shivika eyes widen in shock.

S: Acha theek hai. Par koi gadbad nahi chahiye okay!

Rudra: Ma you are the best. So all of you listen. The dress code is Black. All of you assemble by 6 okay.

Everyone: Okay Rudra.

Rudra gets the green chit for party and a small idea was playing in his mind and he was smirking.

So I am giving a small update as I am busy with my family. I promise to give a cool update tomorrow.
