Different shades of Surbhi.

Part 56

Still at the New Beginnings Hotel.
Staff headquarters.
She comes to the locker room....looks like she's the one person there.
"Thank goodness....Rivya aren't here....or else they will bombard me with questions.... regarding the parcel...who's it from....and other endless questions....now let's check this baby out," Anika said to herself unwrapping the parcel and opens it...it's official clothes ( which includes: a black skirt a white blouse ,a black blazer and matching heels).
"Wow...this looks beautiful and expensive....I wonder how is it from?" Anika asked herself....then she says a note.

" This is what you'll be wearing as you accompany me to the meeting....again thank you...it means a lot."

It now rang a bell.

"How can I forget.....I promised to be his p.a....but I must say he has good taste.....I should change quickly....before Rivya come here and ask me endless questions....let me go and change," Anika said to herself leaving to the changing room.

Meanwhile.
Room 224.
Gauri reaches Om's room....the door is opened and finds Om and Riddhima hugging tightly..... Riddhima sees her and asks who she is?.......and Om breaks from the hug.

"G- Gauri....I can explain myself," Om replied.

"It's fine Om....I mean we're just friends.....and besides I came for my phone....there it is(she spots it on the sofa) and takes it....you guys carry on....my apologies for disturbing your beautiful moment," Gauri replied trying to her level best to control herself.

Om tried his best to stop her.....but she went.

"Looks like....while I was away from Om....looks like he got himself a rebound....but am here now my darling....and I won't let anybody....and I mean anybody.....even that pesky good for nothing maid....snatch you from me....that's right....Riddhima is back in the flesh," Riddhima thought.

Riddhima walked closer to Om.

"Let it be Om.....am sure she'll come around," Riddhima pacified.

"You don't understand.... Riddhima....she's very important to me," Om replied.

"Huh....what do you mean....by "very important to me"....are the two of you dating perhaps,"Riddhima inquired.

"No...what I mean....I just consider her my special friend.... because....she's always been there for me.... anyways....I'll get right back to my art project....if you need anything.... don't hesitate....I'll be on the other side of the room," Om replied and she nodded in agreement and he left.

"My doubts have been confirmed....it seems.... something....is going on with the both of you.....I have to stop it....at all cost....before it gets serious," Riddhima thought.

Let's switch sides to Mumbai.
Photoshoot.
Bani is seen laying on a couch in the photoshoot and first person she sees is her friend Malika.

"Bani....thank God...you're fine," Malika said.

"What are you talking about....what happened??" Bani asked confused.

"Don't you remember....it's fine....let me refresh your memory....while you were walking on the ramp you suddenly fainted....that's what happened....I have been noticing...but today you aren't yourself....what's bothering you?" Malika asked confused.

"Well...it's.....," Bani replied and then she  stopped talking.

"I can't tell her about the nightmare I had yesterday.....or else I'll be screwed....no I can't," Bani thought.

Malika flipped her fingers.

"What happened....cat bit your tongue," Malika replied.

"Well...you remember....the confession I told you yesterday ( She nods).... while the entire night....I didn't get any sleep because of that," Bani replied.

"You poor thing....but I know something....that will light and cheer up your mood," Malika replied.

"What do you mean??" Bani asked confused.

"Well...what else but a sleepover.....how about this....why don't we have a sleepover at my house tonight....so what do you think??"Malika asked.

"That sounds like a good idea," Bani replied.

"Perfect.... settled.....meet me at my house at 8 pm.....I can't wait," Malika replied and then she left.

"Why am I overthinking things....Anika is died....but why can't I brush of the feeling... she's still alive....relax Bani....Anika is long gone.....relax," Bani thought calming herself.
