They ordered the ice cream and sat on the table.
"Vakil Sahiba, how can you eat ice cream in the winter season?? " He asked being amazed.

"Well!! How can you not eat ice cream in the winter season, Mr. ACP? Thandi me hi toh ice cream khane ka maza aata hai" She said, while rubbing her palms together for warmness..

(It's fun to eat ice cream more in winter. )

Shivansh saw Shivanya, who was feeling cold. He stood from the chair, when Shivanya asked "Where? "

"Just two minutes" He said and ran to his car..

He soon came to her side with a shawl . He wrapped the shawl around her and sat back on his seat.

" This.. Who's shawl is this? " She asked, raising her eyebrows.

Till now she doesn't know, about the fact that every evening when Shivansh picks her up from the firm, and when she fell asleeps, he wraps the shawl on her, and keeps it back before waking her up...

"I brought this for you.. I have to keep this in my car. As my Ardhangini ji feels cold. " Shivansh replied..
The waiter came with their ice creams and walked back..

"Vanya, show me your hand " He said in a serious tone..
She frowned but nevertheless she extended her right hand.

"Left" He whispered. She extended her left hand..

He started checking her wrist, where that Man had his grip..
"Vansh, I'm okay.. " She assured..

"But still.. Let me see" He said being stubborn..

"Achaa!! Show me your hands.. You punced him" She said firmly.

"Vanya, I'm alright-

" Still... Show me " She said, gesturing him..

"As you say, Madam" He said being obedient and extended his hands..

She examined his hands and said " Vansh, see.. Blood has cloted here... After reaching home, I'll bandage it"

"Madam, your ice cream is melting" He reminded and extended her cup..

They enjoyed their ice creams
With Shivanya's banter and Shivansh was listening to her talks ,quietly..

" Shivansh, did you even heard what I was talking about?? "She asked, after disposing the cup, as Shivansh was quietly listening to her and nodding his head..

" Yes, Vanya.. " He replied and they walked towards the car..

"Then tell me what I was saying" She asked playfully..

"You said, that when you wanted to eat ice cream once, at midnight, and you were on your periods that time, so Aryan took you to the ice cream parlour and that parlour was closed. So he made the parlour open after contacting the owner, and then you and he had the ice creams.. And then few months back when you were sick and Mrs. Ranawat didn't allowed you to go out station at midnight because of some emergency, Aryan helped you to seek her permission.. And then -

"Vansh... Vansh, I was kidding .. You literally heard everything so clearly.. " She praised him as they buckled the seatbelt..

"I listen everything with sincerity, when you say something, Ardhangini ji" He said and started the engine..

She chuckled at the new nick name he had given to her..

" Where are we going?? It isn't the route to our home" Shivanya asked, as Shivansh was driving on a different way.

"Yaa... I thought, we should go for Moon gazing" Shivansh replied and a mix of excitement and sadness reflected on her face.

"I know whenever you feel upset or low you talk to moon but let's try something new.. If you are happy today.. Then talk about it too!!! And we will enjoy the Moon gazing and star gazing" Shivansh said, understanding her emotions..
