Thank you for voting 😊

A- you are doing very good .

Priyanka just passed a smile and continued combing her hair .

P- all thanks to my mom who thought me everything.

A - hmmm! Mom! ...I envy you .

Exclaiming the first two words directly,  she just whispered the last ones slowly while priyanka for once stopped her work and looked at annika through the mirror.

P - please , I'm not worth of that . If you only knew .

She spoke seriously.

A - I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you .

P- it's ok ,you didn't. I...I just got carried away with some thoughts . Leave it .

A  - you miss your mom, don't you ?

Annika questioned causally and priyanka just passed a nod while combing .

P - ofcourse! Actually she was very much against this trip . You know from since we had moved to the city , I've never stayed away for so many nights and she literally hates my job for that now.

She spoke with a random chuckle ringing in and out , a couple of times .

A- I thought you were born and brought up in Mumbai .

P - no . My mother once said we had moved to the city when I was hardly 2 , and I don't remember anything about that .

A - yo...your family ...?

She asked hesitantly.

P - I remember nothing of that either .

Saying  these words , she sighed a breath of relief after doing annika's hair .

S - we're ready .

Annika stood up and ran on hearing the voice from outside .

A - I'm done too .

Shivaay nodded and handed over the script to her which she started reading  . Then he peeped inside the tent to find priyanka piling up some things.  He made sure to gain her attention and cleared his throat.  Priyanka looked at him confusedly.

S - can you even listen to me once ?

She was entirely pissed off with that.

P - what now ? I did my work , look annika's ready !

As she pointed towards annika who in turn showed  a thumbs up to shivaay , he grew annoyed and rolled his eyes .

S - I'm not talking about the work .

A - this is really too much haan , can't you just be clear so that atleast that soul would know for what she's being scolded. 

P - exactly!

Shivaay glared at both the girls alternatively before passing some small packet to priyanka .

S - I heard you're yet to eat your lunch. I have always told you to never skip meals for work , haven't I? Eat .

Priyanka let a huge sigh and sat on the bench before opening the parcel while annika looked surprised.  She really wasn't expecting this from shivaay .

S- come on then .

He walked away , and annika passed a long stare at priyanka for once before moving from there . Shivaay certainly cares for priyanka from his heart , she thought.  Maybe he liked her , her mind added the details .
