Shivaay and Anika moved towards door step and he entered his car.

A: Good night, sir..

S: Good night...Bye!

A: Bye..

Shivaay entered his car and looked at her. She smiled looking at him. He too smiled and left the place. All the while he was seeing Anika through the mirror. She had a constant smile on her face which never faded.

Anika stepped inside her house after Shivaay's car had completely left her sight.

Oberoi Mansion:

Shivaay had reached Oberoi Mansion and he is alone. Om had some urgent paintings to be delivered while Ruvya left for a party. Senior Oberoi's left for a party. He sighed and left to his room. He had a relaxing shower and sat near the pool, dipping his legs in the cold water. All the while he was thinking about Anika.

He looked at the sky filled with stars. He remembered Anika saying about her mother. He felt sorry for her. She is the only girl who he thought about other than his family. He took out his dairy and started to write something..

I had seen a different version of Anika today..I liked the way she balances her emotions...God, why did you snatch her happiness from her? I don't want to see her sad. I hope she gets all the love she carves for...A motherly love!

He again looked at the sky. Just then he got a notification sound from his phone..It was from Anika. He smiled and opened the chat box. It showed..

Reached safely?

Yes..

Hope I am not disturbing you?

No, not at all..

Had dinner?

Will have it now...And about you?

Just had...

Are you busy?

No...watching Dhoom 2...U know I am a very big fan of Hrithik..

He giggled.

And u?

Just sitting near the pool and watching sky..

Not having your kaali coffee?

Come on...It's not kaali coffe..

Oh...It's sairabano I guess..

Anika it's espresso...ESPRESSO! And I will have it now..

I think you have to stop that habit for sure..

Kyu?

Kyunki...woh bohot kadwi hoti hai..

(And you will become less kadwi also..Muttered Anika..)

I will think about it...But not sure because I am addicted to it..

Hm...

Did your dad reach Mumbai?

He informed me that he is at the outskirts of city...Would be reaching house in another 45 minutes..

That's fine..

There was silence for a while. Shivaay is waiting for her message while Anika is waiting for his.

Anika..

Yes..

Her face was lit like a 1000 W bulb..

I wanted to say that...I had a great time today! Thanks for the coffee..

Shivaay Singh Oberoi ko thanks bolna bhi aata hai! Well its my second suprise of the day!

His jaw dropped. Mein thank you nahi bol sakta hoon kya, he muttered.

Mein thank you keh sakta hoon!

Ohh...That's the new thing I learnt today..

Both of them giggled.

How are Omru? How is Bhavya? And what about dadi ji and all?

Every one are fine...Bhavya and Rudy left for a party, Om is on his way back to home..And rest, everyone left to some party..

So you are home alone like me..That deserves a same pinch to you!

What's same pinch?

If something is common between two people then we usually pinch each other..It's called same pinch!

He chuckled.

Yeh weird ideas aati kaha se tujhe?

It's not weird you know...And you are weird..Doesn't even know this simple thing!

Then there is something I learnt today..

After all, Anika knows everything..

He chuckled. Both of them continued to chat for another 10 minutes..

Actually my bhabhi is calling me...Will talk to you later..Bye Sir..

Good night Anika!

Anika is busy talking with her bhabhi while Shivaay checked his phone whether he gets any reply from her. He waited for 15 minutes but there is no reply from her.

Maybe she is busy, he thought. Just then Om had arrived and both of them left to have dinner.

Next Day:

Shivika were very busy with the continuous meetings because of the UK trip they would be attending in the next week. It's in the evening time that both of them got free from their works and stepped outside at the same time.

Shivaay saw that Anika is completely tired.

S: Good evening Anika!

A: Good evening..

S: It's a tiring day right!

A: Yes...But I am excited..

S: Why?

A: Kyunki mein shopping jaa rahi hoon...Bhabhi and Gauri ke saath..UK preparations are to be started!

Shivaay smiled. As both of them stepped out from the lift and stepped out, Anika saw Jeevika at the entrance of parking. She just bid bye to Shivaay and rushed towards her bhabhi. He just giggled at her innocence.

A: Hi bhabhi..

J: Hi bachu...All set for shopping?

A: Yes! And uske baad ice cream keliye bhi..

J: You won't change for ever!

A: Kaise change karungi bhabhi...I am your dearst bacha right?

J: Acha abh makhan mat maaro, Gauri had already started from her office..Chalte hai..

Jeevika and Anika left in Anika's car and Shivaay drove back to Oberoi Mansion.
