Shiv-hey Anika what happened?
Shivay cupped anika's face. Aren't you happy that I am got job?
Anika shook her head.
Then what? Why you look sad.

Ani- I will miss you when you go to office.

Shiv- when did I say I'm gonna go to office.
Shivay asked Anika while suppressing his smile.

Ani- just now you said You got a job so obviously you will go to office, leaving me and Billu in this but mansion😞.

Shiv-yes I got a job but I will not be going to office to do work.

Ani-matlab

Shiv-matlab I'm gonna do my work from home

Ani-what?! Really!!!

Shiv-no I'm just joking. Of course yes! I'm gonna work from home.

Anika squealed in joy and jumped on shivay wrapping her legs around his waist. Shivay smiled and twirl her in air.
Suddenly power got cut off there.
Anika looked over the place. She breaks into cold sweat and hugged shivay tightly as she could. The flashes of them torturing her were running into his mind.
Ani-shiv.they will beat me.they will beat me .shiv.ask them to leave me. Shiv...shivvv!!
Shiv-anika there is no one here? Anika calm down. I'm here. Nothing will happen to you. You are fine.you are okay. Nothing will happen to you. Your shiv is here to save you. I will not let anything happen to you.

Shiv-shhh.sh Anika I'm here only.

Speaking to Anika, shivay sat down hugging her tightly. He took out his mobile from pant pocket and called the electrician.
