Wait, wait, what?

KPKM touched 80k reads?!

Let me stop for a minute and breath because I can't believe it! OMG guys, you are gems, real gems! Thank you so much for loving me (matlab, my book but that automatically translates to being me so I am assuming 80k people in the world love me) and for your support!

Please don't ever leave me! (bahut ho gaya emotional drama, let's go back to reading!)

"Your girlfriend?" Annika said, surprised at this abrupt information and Aditya nodded with a smile.

"Yes...we've been together for two years and I want to pop the question." He said and Annika chuckled.

"That's great! What's her name? What does she do?" She asked and her coffee came.

"Naina. She's an architect as well." He said and cleared his throat. "Also, I need another favor."

"Sure, say!" She said with a nod.

"She doesn't know about you...us." He said and sighed. "I mean, she knows what happened, but she doesn't know who it happened with. I told her because I wanted to be honest with her but I didn't tell her your name."

"That was very...genius of you." Annika said, cursing herself for revealing Aditya's name to Shivaay. "Don't worry, I won't let it slip."

"Thank you so much. I mean, I know it's weird to ask my ex-lover to organize a proposal party for my girlfriend but you are the best in this and I want it to be perfect." He said and Annika laughed.

"It's absolutely fine. To tell you the truth, I am relieved." She said truthfully and he frowned.

"Relieved?" He asked and she nodded as she took a sip of her drink.

"Um...well when Sid told me...that you called...I don't know why I thought that maybe you wanted to...you know." She just shrugged and Aditya chuckled as he understood her meaning.

"Well, you can relax now. I have a very nice girlfriend." He said dramatically and she laughed.

"Well, I have a very nice boyfriend too." She said with a proud tone and he looked surprised.

"Really?" He asked and she nodded. "Wow, finally!"

"Yes. But don't tell anyone." She said and he zipped his mouth while shaking his head. "It's kind of...new."

"What's kind of new?" He asked, shaking his head. "It's supposed to be either new or not."

"It's...my ex...so it's old but kind of new." She said and Aditya seemed confused.

"Okay. Out of all the great men in the world, Ms Annika had to choose her ex. Great." He said with a frown and she hit his hand. "Ow!"

"He is a great...good guy too. We just had a...falling out...years ago." She shrugged and Aditya nodded with a smile.

"Well, then all the best to your kind of new but is actually old relationship. Anyways, when can we start the planning of my proposal?" He said, quickly changing the subject.

"Right now. Let's go to my office." She said and gestured the waiter for the bill. The young guy rushed to their seat in a minute.

"I'll take it." Aditya said as he took the bill and Annika shook her head. "It's fine. You are helping me so much and for that, I can pay for your coffee. And I do owe you a coffee...from that morning."

"Aditya!" Annika groaned but let him pay anyway, because after all, he did owe her a coffee.

"Annika!" Aditya said and stood up. "Let's go!"

Shivaay almost fell by stepping on his own leg as he heard her familiar voice saying Aditya. He looked to his side when he saw her leaving the cafe with a man, smiling and laughing as they took her car.

Well, good luck with finding Aditya on Google.

"Wow he was cute." Soumya mumbled and her husband groaned.

"Sumo, it's going to be almost a year since Rumya came but your hormones are still all over the place!" He complained as he wife stared at him.

"You weren't complaining about that last-

"Shh, Bhaiya's here!" Rudra gasped but Shivaay wasn't listening anyways.

"Did she say Aditya?" Shivaay asked and his brother and sister-in-law looked at him.

"I don't know, I didn't hear." Soumya shrugged and so did Rudra.

"She definitely said Aditya." Shivaay said and Rudra sighed.

"Bhaiya, it is not necessary that it's the same Aditya with whom Annika Di...I am sure, it's someone else." Rudra said and Soumya nodded but Shivaay could already feel his guts twisting.

Was it really some other Aditya?

What if he isn't?

What if he's the same with whom Annika...slept?

What is he doing here...with her?

Why were they smiling and laughing?

Why did they take her car?

Where did they go?

"I am going to puke."

An hour later, Annika closed her binder named Naina Z.-Aditya M. (Proposal Party) as Aditya looked very excited in front of her.

"That was very quick, I thought this would take days!" He said and Annika cocked an eyebrow.

"Why do you think I am the best in what I do?" She shrugged with a friendly smirk and he nodded. "Don't worry, Naina is going to love it."

"Mam." Eva knocked on her door the next second and Annika looked up. "Mr Shivaay is here."

"What?" Annika gasped and Aditya frowned.

"Is everything okay?" He asked and Annika stood up hurriedly.

"Uh...Shivaay's my...boyfriend." She said and Aditya nodded.

"So why are you sweating?" He asked as Annika tried to look out of her cabin.

"Because you are here!" She said and he stood up as well.

"So what? It's not as if he knows about us or my name." He shrugged and she bit his lip while staring at him guiltily. "What? He knows about us and my name? Why did you...why...why-

"I wanted to be honest-

"This is not a situation where you are honest Annika!" Aditya groaned loudly and she tried to shush him. "Don't shhh me! What if he goes and tells Naina?"

"Why will he tell Naina? He doesn't even know Naina. He is not going to tell Naina-

"Don't say Naina again, I swear." He said and cleared his throat. "Why don't you introduce us civilly, we are adults. I am sure he will-

"Punch you. And hit you. And probably kill you." Annika completed the sentence and Aditya looked at her with a what have you done expression. "Wait. He knows your first name, not your surname, neither has he seen you. So I'll just call you Mr Mehta and you have to leave quickly. Okay?"

"Okay." He nodded and Annika walked to the cabin's door. "Thank you for coming Mr Mehta, I'll see you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Aditya frowned as they walked out of the cabin.

"Tomorrow." Annika said with a tight smile and gestured him to leave.

"Oh yaa!" Aditya said loudly, nodding his head. "Tomorrow. Definitely tomorrow."

"Bye!" Annika said and gulped, her action not hidden to Shivaay.

"Who was that?" Shivaay asked and she shrugged.

"Client." Was all she said and Shivaay felt betrayed.

Why was she lying to him?
