Part 69.

Anika stopped the engine.
"Hey Anika why did you stop?" Shivaay asked concerned.
"Calm down...scared kitty...we've arrived at the park...you can now...hope out of the scooter now," Anika replied.
Shivaay got up from the scooter and then waited for Anika...who was seen offloading a basket...what could be inside?
"Anika what's that?" Shivaay asked.
"We're going for a picnic.... therefore we need food...so...I packed some sandwiches for the two of us...and something special too," Anika explained.
"Fine....but you needed not be sarcastic....and what's the special food?" Shivaay asked.
"It's a surprise," Anika replied winking her eye.
"Okay...let's go now...before things get weird," Shivaay replied.
Anika smiled and both of them went to the park.

Meanwhile.
Semi permanent house.
Bedroom.
"Bhavya....which one looks better...the red one...or the black one?" Gauri asked.
"Both are great," Bhavya replied.
"I wish Anika was here," Gauri replied.
"Ouch...but where is she?" Bhavya asked.
"Can't tell you...it's a secret," Gauri replied.
"Aren't the three of us... amigos...best friends?" Bhavya replied.
"Don't freight...we will tell you...once she's ready too.... meanwhile...tell me the dress to wear," Gauri replied.
"Just pick one..... anyways....what's with the hurry...it isn't evening yet?" Bhavya replied.
"Yes I know that...but I have to look presentable," Gauri replied.

They continued with their fashion emergency.

( Please note...Avneil.... weren't successful in their mission...so they thought of continuing their mission the next day)

"Shivaay I am happy you're having a blast...but...am getting hungry....let's eat...before the sandwiches get cold...which wouldn't be yummy and tasty," Anika said to Shivaay...who was still.... energetic.
"Okay fine let's eat," Shivaay replied.

Anika took him to sit in the grass.

"Anika what are we doing here?" Shivaay asked.
"Obviously...this is where we going to eat," Anika replied.
"On the grass( Anika replied yes)....but from what Science has taught in school....grass has a lot of microorganisms...plus ants... won't we get itchy," Shivaay replied.
Anika bursting into laughter.
"Why are you laughing.... Anika...I don't see...what's funny....to whatever...am saying?" Shivaay asked started to get pissed off.
"It's because of you...the Shivaay...I saw yesterday....was tough...but today....this Shivaay...is something else...scared...and too cautious," Anika replied.
"What can I say... better safe than sorry," Shivaay defended.
"Shivaay...in life...you have to let loose...a little bit.... don't care about petty things....just be carefree...and what did I tell you...live life king sized... alright," Anika replied.
"Okay...let's eat then," Shivaay replied.
They sat he was at first hesitant...but got in the ropes.
They ate sandwiches.
Shivaay thought they were done...but Anika had something up her sleeves.
"Close your eyes for a minute please," Anika replied.
"Why...we aren't in kindergarten class anymore," Shivaay replied.
"Just do it," Anika replied.
"Okay" Shivaay replied.
He closed them.
"Now open....(Chocolate cake)....that's the surprise...you've been waiting for....you're a wonderful chef...while I am a baker....dig in....what do they say in French?" Anika asked.
"Bon appetit," Shivaay replied.
"Yes...bon appetit," Anika replied.
She sliced the cake using the knife she brought.
"Here...we go... something sweet," Anika replied handing her the cake.
"Hold on.... before you eat," Anika added.
"What now?" Shivaay asked.
"A picture....smile...say cheese," Anika replied removing her phone.
"Cheese," Shivaay replied.
"With a smile please," Anika replied.
"Cheese," Shivaay replied fake smiling.
"No.. lesser teeth( he did as was told)....yeah... they're we go...with the bunny smile," Anika replied taking a photo.
"What's with the photo?" Shivaay asked confused.
"Well...duh...for memories silly," Anika replied.
Shivaay was just amazed by this girl.... although...she looked exactly like Bani and Ishani...she was different....full of life... cheerful.... optimistic....and fun loving.
They finished eating the cake and went back to the hotel.
They arrived.
Shivika got from the scooter.
"As promised..we've arrived...safe and sound...with no single scratch in your body...if you excuse me....I'll take my leave," Anika replied leaving.... Shivaay holding her back.
She turned.
"Yes... Shivaay... anything wrong?" Anika asked concerned.
"Relax Anika...I just wanted to thank you...for helping me...get over my fear....and the wonderful time...in the park....I really missed that a lot...and for making me relieve my childhood memories...thank you," Shivaay thanked.
"Shivaay it's okay....plus... aren't you the one who said...friends don't thank nor apologize... okay then...if you excuse me...I have to go....I also promised my grandma...I'll pick groceries...from the market...I'll take my leave...bye...see you tomorrow," Anika replied.
Shivaay waved back at her.
She left on her scooter.
Shivaay went to the hotel smiling.

Question is....is he falling for Anika?
