"Yes, Vansh.. Believe me.. I clearly remember that.. It was the same ring I saw on that man's finger. " Shivanya explained..

"I believe you, Vanya.. "He said, cupping her cheeks..

" But, Vansh , how can Aayush be that Man?? I mean.. We know him.. He can't do that.."She said..

"Don't worry.. I'll find it.. But for now, sleep.. " He said and kissed her forehead..

"Nothing will happen to any of us, right?? To you? " She asked, with the fear of losing someone again..

"Nothing will happen.. I promise. Neither to me nor to anyone else.. You believe me, right? " He reassured her..

"I.. I believe you.. And I know you always keep your promise but.. But I don't want to lose anyone now.. First Papa then Maa then Rii.. Now I can't lose anyone... (Not even you) " She said with tears in her eyes..

(Her inner thoughts )

"I promise you, nothing will happen to anyone.. You will not lose anyone.. " He said softly..

And the next moment she hugged him .
But Shivansh being a gentleman, he didn't hugged her back.. As he doesn't want to make her uncomfortable..

Realization hit her head and she pulled herself back and embarrassed, she said "Sorry... I.. It accidentally.. I.. "

"It's okay.. Relax.. Relax.. Now sleep.. I'll have some work to do.. I'll sleep afterwards" He said on which she nodded..

It's been two hours, since Shivanya has closed her eyes.. But sleep was far away.. She kept turning and tossing. Finally she sat on the bed and looked at His side.
Shivansh wasn't there. He is still working maybe in his study..

Shivanya went to the balcony, and looking at the sky, she said "Ahhh.. What's happening ?? Why?whenever I'm closing my eyes only Vansh's face is flashing.... Whyyy? Ahh.. This is so confusing!!"

"What's happening with me now - a - days?? Rii, help me.. Why I'm feeling attracted towards Vansh just the way I felt for you?? Mr. Ritik are you even listening to me?? " She said with anger..

"Fine... I have to find the answers to my questions myself.. " She said with a sniff..

For a good amout of time, she was gazing the black sky with many shinning stars..
"Vanya, are you in balcony? " Came his voice.
"Yes" She replied back.

Shivansh came inside the balcony and asked "What are you doing here, Vanya?? Didn't you slept two hours ago?? "

"I'm not feeling sleepy.. Whenever I close my eyes only yo - " She paused as she realized what she was going to say.
While Shivansh looked at her raising his brows.
"I.. I mean whenever I close my eyes, only.. Only.. Um.. Only I see is.. Is Darkenes.. " She lied nervously.

"I must say, she is terrible at lieing" He said in his mind..

"So you came to see the moon? " He asked looking at the sky.

"But the moon didn't came today" She said..

"But still you love the moon? "

"You know, the one who loves the moon, will still love it if it's not in the sky.. " She said.

But only for him to get puzzled, so he chose to keep his mouth silent..

"Well, let's go to bed now? " He asked after sometime.
She nodded and walked inside..
