Shivaay's office,

      Annika opened her eyes slowly and bright light fell on her eyes. She closed her eyes again as she can't able to handle that much light. After sometime she again opened them slowly. She looked around. She was confused about where she is. She opened her eyes fully and got up from a sofa. She looked around. It was Ramona's cabin.

      Ramona who was busy in some work looked at her and ran to her.

Ramona-"Are you ok? Why you are standing? Come sit here."

    Ramona made her sit on the sofa again and gave her water. Annika drank it and looked at Ramona.

R-"Are you ok now?"

Annika-"Yes. What I am doing here? What happened to me?"

R-"You fainted in the store room."

    Annika heard that and remembered that Shivaay asked her to go in the store room. There was no lights and too much dust was there. She was working there with the help of flashlight of her mobile. But she was so scared and can't able to breath properly because of the dust.

A(mind)-"What happened after that? Why I don't remember what happened? And how come I came here? Ramona mam don't know that I was in store room. I came to tell her before going but she was not in her cabin. Then........ Oh bete ki, how can I forgot? Shivaay..... Yeah he is the only person who knows about my fear of darkness and about the thing that I was in store room. Means he came to save me.....save me?? Yeah he came to save me every time when I am in dark. So he was the only one who came to save me here too. But why will he come after all those things that happened in our lives? And if he came to save me that means....that means he still loves me??"

R-"Annika......"

    Annika didn't listen as she was lost in thoughts.

A(mind)-"I am sure Shivaay came to save me. I think he is also feeling guilty for sending me there in the dark place . It means he is the same person still. He didn't change. I think he is just acting in front of me."

    A small smile came on her lips. Here Ramona was confused about Annika's behavior. She kept her hand on Annika's shoulder and called her name.

R-"Annika, are you ok?"

       She said in loud voice. Annika came back from her thoughts and looked at her.

A-"Huh??....."

R-"Are you ok?"

     Annika nodded and looked around. She was searching Shivaay. She thought that he was there.

R-"What happened?"

A-"Umm..... Where is Shivaay???... I mean Shivaay sir.... Where is he???"

    Annika asked looking around.

R-"Shivaay sir?? Why you are asking about him?? I don't know where is he."

A-"You don't know means?? He must be in his cabin, right?"

R-"No no he is not in his cabin."

A-"What?? He is not there? But wait a minute, first you said you don't know where he is and now you are saying that he is not in his cabin....."

    Annika was confused now.

R-"Yeah I know he is not in his cabin because he is not in the office itself"
