Anika came out of the office at 3pm which is 1 hr prior to her regular time after she received a call from Rudra. As Tej was not in the office, she told the head receptionist.

"Anika.. Anika" a manly voice shouted from behind.

"Phail gaya raita." She turned around and saw Shivaay.

"Where are you going?" he asked

Anika ignored him and walked faster. He held her wrist and turned her towards him.

"Maine kuch pucha hai" his voice was husky and demanding.

"Mai Oberoi Masion ja rahi hun, Rudra ka phone aaya tha" she replied casually

"Dont you think you should inform your boss?"

"Tej uncle nahi hai office me so I informed Rosy about it"

He raised his eyebrows and then she remembered that now her boss is Shivaay.

"Sorry wo mai bhul hi...." she was interrupted by Shivaay.

"Aadat dal lo Anika. I dont want any further careless attitude from your side." he said and went towards his car.

"Yeh kaha muh uthaye ja rahe hai?" she murmured.

"Waha kya khadi ho, gadi me baitho." He ordered. Anika was in no mood to argue, so she sat quietly. Shivaay started his car.

"Aap abhi kyu ja rahe hai?" finally she broke the ice

"Mera ghar, meri marzi." this reply made her angry. 'Sadu Singh Oberoi' she thought

"Tia aa rahi haina" she told

"So?"

"Are, aap itne dino baad apni girlfriend se milenge"

"Girlfriend? Tia? What?" he screamed.

"Chilla kyu rahe hai?" Anika covered her ears with her hands

"Tia is not my girlfriend"

"To phir, Rudra usdin..." she preferred to be silent rather than face his anger. 'Aise insaan ka koi girlfriend ho hi nahi sakta' she thought

Soon they reached their destination.

"Baby.. I missed u so much" Tia jumped on Shivaay with full enthusiasm and Anika looked at her childish behavior.

Shivaay smiled in return and then his eyes fell on an unknown face and he looked upto OmRu for clarification

"Shivaay baby, he is my cousin Kushal. Kal hi London se aaya hai"

They both hugged each other, "Nice to meet you Shivaay". "Same here Kushal"

Kushal's eyes fell on Anika and he just could not take his eyes off her. 'What a beauty!!'

Shivaay noticed his gaze on Anika and felt something burnt inside him.

"Tia, meet Anika. She is my PA"

"What?" OmRu said in unison and they looked at Anika instantly asking for some explanation and she nodded.

"Hey Anika, your name is as beautiful as you are" he took her hand and place a soft kiss on it.

Evening crept in and after getting ready, he came to the party area where Anika was doing the last moment decorations.

"Anika didi, aap tayyar nahi huyi?" he asked her

"Yeh tum Bhaiyo ki party hai. You guys enjoy" she replied. Although she wanted to join them but because of shivaay's presence, she dropped her idea.

"Aisa nahi hai. You just get ready. Please please please" he started begging. Anika could never say no to him. So she agreed. At that time, Soumya(Rudra's friend and love interest) entered the scene.

Anika ran to her room to find a suitable dress for it. She knew that only close friends are invited and there could be 8 people at max. She got ready in a black high low dress

She brought this dress from her first salary when she had gone shopping with Soumya and Jhanvi aunty but she never got the opportunity to wear it

Om, Tia, Kushal and Gauri(daughter of Jhanvi's friend) also got ready and came to the party area where Rumya(Rudra and Saumya) were already present

Om, Tia, Kushal and Gauri(daughter of Jhanvi's friend) also got ready and came to the party area where Rumya(Rudra and Saumya) were already present.

Shivaay make an entry like a hero waling on the red carpet. He was looking dead dropping handsome.

When Anika entered, all the eyes just got fixed in her direction. Shivaay was blinking his eyes and Kushal checked her out in no time.

"Anika didi, you r looking very pretty" Soumya exclaimed and OmRu nodded

Tia was jealous of the fact that Anika took away all the attention which she deserves. She saw Shivaay who was also looking at her like there is no tomorrow.

Kushal also commented, "You are beyond beautiful Anika"

Shivaay came back from his world. They sat around a round table and chitchatting on various topics. Anika, Soumya and Gauri were busy discussing about a latest movie but Shivaay was only staring her in spite of Tia being constantly speaking about her daily problems in make up etc.

"Lets play a game" Om said and everybody jumped with excitement except for Shivaay

"We are no longer kids, kya game?"

"Chodo Om and Rudra, ye abhi budhe hi hone wale hai, hum sab hi khelte hai" Anika said while everyone laughed and he rolled his eyes.

"Hum passing the parcel khelte hai. Let me bring some juice" Rudra went to bring the juices and mixed some alcohol in it.

"Ab ayega mazaa party ka" he chipped
