It's been a week since she is preparing for the wedding and finally it's the day for Shivaay's haldi.
The Oberoi Mansion is buzzing with activity as preparations for Shivaay's haldi ceremony are in full swing.
Anika is at the center of it all, directing the decorators, arranging flowers, and ensuring everything is perfect.
Anika to the decorators "Yeh flowers yaha nhi udhar lagao and tum rangoli thik se banao..... Sab kuch ekdam perfect hona chaiye"
As she adjusts the decorations, she can’t help but think about the man she’s doing all this for.
"Itna ajeeb kyu feel ho rha hai mujhe jaise Jo kuch bhi ho rha hai woh nhi hona chahiye.."
As she places the flowers, she feels a strange mixture of emotions.
The thought of Shivaay’s upcoming wedding to Tia stirs something in her she can’t quite explain.
Shivaay walks in, his eyes immediately finding Anika.
He watches her for a moment, admiring her dedication and the way she brings life to the preparations.
Shivaay (softly) "Anika..."
Anika turns, surprised to see him there.
Their eyes meet, and time seems to stand still. The noise and hustle around them fade away as they gaze at each other, completely lost in the moment.
For a full minute, they stand there, their eyes locked, each feeling an inexplicable connection.
The world around them blurs, and all they can see is each other.
There's a mixture of emotions in their eyes – curiosity, warmth, and something deeper, unspoken.
Finally a decorator's question snaps Anika out of her reverie.
Anika blinks and turns her attention back to the preparations, her heart still racing from the intense moment.
"Didi, yeh phool yaha thik hai"
"Han perfect"
Shivaay, still affected by their shared gaze, takes a deep breath and joins the family members, his thoughts lingering on Anika
Anika, overseeing the final touches, steps back to admire the beautiful setup.
She smiles, satisfied with the perfection of the arrangements.
Shivaay watches her from a distance, still affected by their earlier eye contact.
He approaches her, and they exchange a brief, meaningful glance.
Anika (with a satisfied sigh) "Sab kuch taiyar hai. Ab sirf mehmaanon ka intezaar hai."
Shivaay nods, appreciating her hard work.
Shivaay "Tumne bohot accha kaam kiya hai, Anika."
Anika looks at him, slightly taken aback by the compliment, but she nods in acknowledgment.
Anika "Thank you, Shivaay. Yeh aapki shaadi hai, sab kuch perfect hona chahiye."
They share a moment of mutual respect and understanding, the earlier tension between them momentarily forgotten.
The silence is comfortable, filled with unspoken words and shared emotions as they look at each other.
