Different shades of Surbhi.

Part 121.

Red is the color of love....but is symbolic to danger.....alert!alert!....danger ahead.

Oberoi mansion.
Shivaay's room.
Om walks by and finds Shivaay in a good mood....he goes to find out...why the cheerful mood.
"Looks like somebody woke up on the right side of the bed...am assuming it's because of Anika?" Om asked.
"Yes... actually...me and Anika patched things over the phone... yesterday at night," Shivaay replied.
"Wow....am so happy for the both of you guys....now everything is fine between the both of you," Om replied.
"Don't celebrate just yet Om," Shivaay replied.
"What do you mean Shivaay??" Om asked confused.
"I still haven't told her my past with Bani...before it's too late...I have to tell...that's why I asked her to meet me for lunch....until then I won't have peace," Shivaay explained.
"( Puts his hands on his shoulders)....am sure everything will work out in your favor," Om consoled.
"Thanks Om it means a lot," Shivaay thanked.
"Hey...what is family for....now if you excuse me I have to go to the gazebo," Om replied walking out...he left.

Meanwhile.
Kapoor mansion.
Anika is in a good mood...not only has she hurriedly the hatchet with Shivaay...but also with Aruna.... everything seems to be falling into place for her or is it otherwise.........................

Dining set.
The Kapoor's are gathered for breakfast....what a scrumptious and buffet the breakfast is......since their long lost kin is back to their lives....so Tejvi requested the chef to cook a lot today.

All are eating.....most especially Anika....who is a foodie....let's see what Bani is busy thinking about...shall we?

"Eat all at once Anika....eat up.... because in the next hours....you won't have the appetite to eat....so enjoy the food as much as you can....I can't wait for you and Shivaay to end your relationship....so excited," Bani said to herself.

After sometime...the family finished eating....Tejvi left for work....as much as they wanted to stay...it was highly impossible... because they had important clients and work to take care of.... likewise Ishani...but promised Anika that she'll try her best to come early...so that they can rekindle the lost time missed....then Bani left for the photoshoot...hoping that she has a good day.

Anika went to her room...she planned on taking a nap since she was still exhausted from the journey...but one of the maids walks in...saying that Bani told her to give her these...family albums and DVDs...so that she can know more about her family....and to feel like a stranger....she thanked the maid...then maid left...to her...she thought...her sister had the best interests and intentions...but if she could really know...that is what all but a show.

Anyways... right back to Anika...she started looking at the album...photos...from one page to the next... mesmerized and happy to see the family all happy and together.....then finished taking a look at the album...then started playing the CD on the DVDs one by one....then came the last CD.

Studio.
"Someone looks happy for somebody whose engagement ceremony was called of?" Malika asked.
"Let's just say....lady luck is on my side today darling," Bani replied.
"What do you mean??" Malika asked confused.
"Don't think hard about it...let's go and start the photoshoot," Bani replied.
"What a crazy friend I have...I wonder what she meant?" Malika said to herself... following her.

Guest room.
Over the CD.
It's Ishani and Bani's 21st birthday.
Anika then sees... Shivaay making his way to Bani on the stage....she's shocked....she wonders what the connection of Shivaay and Bani....she's about to find out.
Shivaay kneels down on his knees....then confesses his love for her in front of everyone in the party....then Bani also confesses she loves him too...he carries her and twirls her.....all looking extremely happy....Anika by use of the remote...switches it off...she's left confused...how comes Shivaay didn't tell her... about him and Bani....then remembers their first encounter....how he mistook her for Bani....then is left to wonder....does him really love her....or is it a mirage....or is she just a rebound.

Then he phone beeps....she switches her phone on....it's a text from Shivaay.......telling her the place they have to meet for lunch.

She goes to the ensuite.... thinking that a warm bubble bath...will fix everything....then after bathing....she grooms herself....then.... chauffeur takes her to the place....still confused...hurt....and feeling betrayed.

TO BE CONTINUED..................
