After the picnic, they returned home.
It was the most enjoyable day for 'em.
Anika and shivaay, shared the beautiful happenings with their respective mums; hinting them of something brewing up.

                               ***
Life is, indeed, very challenging and is always making changes. You never know, what might happen the next moment! You might hate it, hate yourself, but at the end, it makes you fall in love with living, being truly alive, yet again! After every downfall, comes a tremendous uprise!

Anika, understood the depth of these words, at such a tender age. Recalling, her reading a book, and seeing these words, had made her doubt their possibility, but today, she understood it, truly.

She was ecstatic today. Her mother had never seen her so happy, ever since she'd come here. She was so happy to see, the melancholy Anika leaving. Smiling, she left from there.

Anika was on top of the world. There was a little red hue on her toned cheeks, upon recalling today's events.
She remembered how effervescent shivaay was, when he saw her coming. She was surprised to see her facial expressions when she stood in front of the mirror. She had never felt so flushed, it was the first time, she was blushing so profusely, that too, reminiscing a boy!

Today's incidents, made Anika curious of the fact whether shivaay feels the same for her. The rest of the day was spent thinking about this. She never wishes to leave this country now.

                                ***

Shivaay, was bleaming with joy, throughout the day, sometimes laughing like a mad man, and sometimes blushing a bit. He hasn't thought in his wildest dreams, that'd fall for a girl, too an Indian in another country! He thanked God, for bringing him to this country. He realised a fact: Everything happens for a reason!

When he'd seen Anika approaching her, his world had somewhat stopped there. She came just for him - this has made his hints more stable now. There definitely something in heart for him, for sure! He has to find out more.

His mother, saw all this, and smiled, seeing his son, so happy. She mentally thanked that angel who did that.

                             ***

It has been 5 months to the picnic and  7 months since the arrival of Anika in the country. All was getting well, slowly yet steadily. Both of them, were getting to love each other, more by the passing day, still unconfessed, though. Anika, was more bolder and confident now: reason being shivaay, her shivaay more aptly and another major reason, her learning french. She, no longer was intimidated by anyone there, and gave a befitting reply to anyone who tried to bully her. Their friendship was getting stronger day by day; but what life is it without a storm!
