Different shades of Surbhi.

Part 106.

Next day.
Morning.
Still New Beginnings Hotel.
Cafeteria.
"Om...am sure you know.....the reason why brother has invited us today...after all you're his confidant?" Rudy asked.

"Am sorry to burst your bubble....Rudy....but am also curious to know what the surprise is," Om replied.

"What if... they're getting back together with Bani?" Rudy asked.

"Duffer....stop your nonsense and shenanigans....and just wait patiently...to know what the surprise is.... alright?" Om replied.

Rudy nodded in agreement.....just then Shivaay walked in with Sidini.

Omru were surprised to see them...they stood up...to go and shake their hands.

"Sid...am sure...you still remember him," Shivaay said.

"Yes...who can't forget Omkara....with his long and overprotective hair.....wow you haven't changed a bit," Sid replied.

Greeting Omkara.

"And he is.....," Shivaay introduced but interrupted by Rudy.

"Girls sweetheart....Rudra Singh Oberoi.....but I prefer Rudy...it's more cooler and has more swag," Rudy replied.

"And who is the sexy angel?.......my lady ( kisses her palms)," Rudy added.

"My wife...rather my soulmate....Roshni Partel," Sid explained.

"Awkward," Om whispered.

Rudy was embarrassed.....and started walking off to the back.

"Sid...am so sorry on his behalf," Shivaay apologized.

"Hey...it happens Shivaay...relax....and let bygones be bygones....Rudy....after all....we came for breakfast," Sid replied.

They all sat for breakfast.

Still Pune.
Semi permanent house.
Gauri was ironing her clothes...in readiness for her work....but she couldn't help thinking what Om....said and how he defended her in front of Riddhima.....I will only take a few statements...he said...."She's special to me,".

Gauri couldn't help smiling because of his remarks...then out of the blue.....Bhavya switched off the iron box.....Gauri was shocked.

"Bhavya...what do you think you're doing?" Gauri asked confused.

"Am saving your butt...you should thank me instead," Bhavya replied.

"Huh...I don't get it??" Gauri asked more confused.

"You were going to burn your dress... fortunately...I was at the right time...and sprang into action...or else...it could be a different story....but...what were you busy thinking about..... remember our code...no secrets in friendship," Bhavya replied.

"Nothing....( Bhavya: Come on mama... don't be like that)....you're talking about no secrets policy....but I have been observing you Bhavya...since yesterday...you couldn't help smiling.....from work up to night....so will you be a dear...and go first," Gauri explained.

"Oops...look at the time....( She looks at her watch in her wrist)..... we're getting late...we should leave," Bhavya replied diverting the attention.

Still Pune.
Storey flat building.
Apartment.
Anika is ready to leave for walk....she then opens the door to lock it....but Akshat appears.

"Akshat...what are you doing here....that too early in the morning?" Anika asked confused.

"You forget easy...Annie... aren't you the one...who told me...you're going to introduce me to Shivaay today?" Akshat asked.

"Yes...I remember...but isn't it...to early....how about this...in the afternoon," Anika replied.

"Afternoon...I have an important work to do... moreover.... didn't you say.... Shivaay...is usually...out at the afternoon?" Akshat asked.

"Yes....," Anika replied interrupted by him.

"So...what are we waiting here for...let's hurry and go," Akshat replied dragging to her scooter....they then left to the New Beginnings Hotel.

They arrived...that too...at the same time as Rivya.

"Hey guys," Anika greeted.

"Hey Annie....hold on a minute...that face looks familiar.. where have I seen it before....yes.... Akshat...it's you," Gauri replied.

"Who's Akshat??" Bhavya asked confused.

"Anika's childhood friend...before we became friends.....( Bhavya: Ooh..nice to meet you...am Bhavya)....but...Akshat...what on earth are you doing here??" Gauri asked.

"Actually....I wanted to see the famous Shivaay...who Anika can't stop praising him....it looks like...his very special to our Annie," Akshat replied.

"You have noticed that too....I thought I was the only one," Gauri added.

"Come on guys....what are you talking about??" Bhavya asked confused.

"Nothing... Bhavya...no need to worry...the both of them are just crazy....I have an idea...let's go straight to work," Anika replied walking with Bhavya in the hotel.

While Akshat and Gauri kept on teasing Anika... behind them.

They all arrived.

Akshat sat on the lounge room... waiting for Anika to finish her work...while Rivya went also to do their work.
