Part 26.

Shivika walk in.... Anika sees Rikara coming.
"OMG.....Gauri...here....I completely forgot...that was why I was hiding myself.....what to do....I know," Anika thought.
"Ouch!" Anika said pretending to be in pain.
Shivaay turned towards her.
"What happened...is your foot still hurting...let me have a look?" Shivaay asked concerned.
"Thanks...but no.....," Anika replied interrupted by him.
"Huh...what do you mean Bani?" Shivaay asked.
"Well....I think I have a stomach upset.....it could be I ate...more than anticipated," Anika explained.
"Should I help you with anything?" Shivaay asked.
"Thanks for the offer....but it isn't required....I'll handle it myself alright," Anika replied.
"But...," Shivaay replied...but eventually she left.

No sooner had she left when Rikara arrived.

He was still perplexed with whatever happened.

"Shivaay is everything alright?" Om asked concerned.

"No it's nothing let it be," Shivaay replied.

"BTW...I don't see Bani where is she?" Om asked confused.

"Nothing to worry about... she'll join us in a bit.. anyways....are you going to introduce me to the beautiful lady beside you or not?" Shivaay asked.

"Shivaay...Gauri....Gauri...my eldest brother Shivaay," Om introduced.

"A pleasure to finally meet..you know....Om has told me....many things... about you...by many...I mean generally nice things," Shivaay replied....making Om shy off.

"Likewise....he also told me....how he really looks up to you and beyond," Gauri replied.

Rooftop.
"You know what," Rudy said.
"What?" Bhavya asked.
"I really love to see you like this...carefree..free from all the cares of the world...and smiling as well," Rudy replied.
"It's because of you silly," Bhavya blundered.
"What do you mean?" Rudy asked curiously.
"Don't you know...I thought...you already knew...I like you Rudra.... REALLY like you,"Bhavya explained.
"If you really like me...then...why do you push me away from you...instead of bringing me closer huh...tell me I don't understand?" Rudy asked confused.
"It's because am scared," Bhavya replied.
"Scared...of what exactly...am not that scary... ain't I?" Rudy asked.
"Am talking about that....am talking about commitment....I was deceived once....am afraid for it again to repeat itself...try to understand Rudy?" Bhavya explained.
"Bhavya...I promise... nothing of the sort will happen...you just need to trust me..... what's it called... benefit of doubt...yeah...that's word I was looking for....do you understand.... Bhavya.... Bhavya??" Rudy replied....( They were dancing...then found her asleep)

"She's asleep....I'll have to take her to my room...until I find a better solution," Rudy replied...carrying her on his arms.

He couldn't help but to simply admire her.

Cause girls like you
I need a girl like you
Yay ya.........

( Girls like you... Maroon 5)

Gauri stood up from her seat...went next to Om.

"Om....I'll be back," Gauri whispered.

"Why...where are you going?" Om asked.

"To the restroom," Gauri replied.

"Alright then," Om replied.

She left...meanwhile Anika came out...tired of hiding....also inspecting if the cost is clear.

She's walking in the corridor....which what a strange coincidence....Gauri is walking into....she's absent minded...from what has being going on....that fails to see her coming....Gauri looks up....she sees Anika....is Anika about to be exposed.........she's left confused...what is she doing here....that too wearing expensive clothes... make-up...heels...that's not the Anika she's familiar with...she calls up to her," Annie hey stop," Gauri said....bringing the absent minded Anika back to reality.....she saw her......Gauri was slowly but faster approaching her....she was screwed...thinking she's done for.......hoping that too for a miracle....even knowing the game was over.... fortunately...luck was on her side....Rudy came holding Bhavya on his arms...which distracted Gauri...giving her the perfect opportunity to flee...she left... thanking the heavens.

"Hey Rudy what are you doing?" Gauri asked concerned.
"Can't you see miss am holding her," Rudy replied.
"But...why what the hell happened to her?" Gauri asked.
"Sorry if I may seem rude...but why are you interested in this girl?" Rudy asked curiously.
"Well...it's because the girl you're holding...is I don't know... perhaps my little sister," Gauri replied.
"Really??!!" Rudy replied.
"Yes...why are you surprised...did you do something to her?" Gauri asked.
"No...on the contrary...I was being a gentleman...and offering her assistance instead," Rudy defended.
"Aww...that's so sweet...I don't know...about her...but you have my blessing,"Gauri replied.
"Yes...wow...this day rocks...honestly......first I got hear.....Bhavya's love confession...now her sister has given her my blessings," Rudy thought smiling.
"You go... I'll be right back," Gauri replied.
"Where are you going?" Rudy asked.
"Just to confirm where I was hallucinating or not," Gauri replied.

Rudy left with Bhavya...she checked everywhere but Anika was nowhere to be seen.

"I must be mistaken...how can Anika be possibly here...she's in Germany after all," Gauri said to herself leaving.

She then went back to their table.

"Gauri...ooh good... you're back," Om replied.
"Yes.... Shivaay if you don't mind may I talk to Om in private place," Gauri requested.
"Sure you guys carry on...besides I'll have to go and check on Bani," Shivaay replied leaving.

"Gauri..tell me....what has happened?" Om asked.

Gauri explained everything to him....he decided to take her along with Bhavya.

They saw Rudy....to cut the long story short....both Omru took Rivya home in the same car....Rudy mostly tagged to give a good impression on Gauri...as the perfect fiancee of her younger sister.
