Anushka couldn't ask God for anything more at this point in her life. Until Virat came to her life, she was among those people who didn't believe in love. Now, the wheels have completely turned for her. She's head over the heels in love with Virat. The only person who keeps on evading her thoughts 24×7 is Virat.

After Anushka accepted his proposal, Virat wanted to take her out on a date.  He had everything planned out accordingly for it. However, all the planning and preparation went in vain because of an impromptu business conference in New York that he had to attend. Though Hridaan and Siddharth offered to go for the business conference on his behalf, Virat decided that it would be better if he go there and attend the conference by himself because he was the CEO of the company. Moreover, the conference was also an important one. If luck favours, his company might even be able to get an important deal or two.

Now, fast forward to the day before Virat leaves for New York, Virat alongwith Hridaan and Siddharth were busy in discussing some important schemes that they need to implement for the employees of their company. As Virat decided to go and attend the conference by himself, Hridaan and Siddharth agreed to stay behind and handle all the necessary work of the company in his lieu. The conference would be held for three consecutive days. The three of them knew that it won't be wise enough on their part to leave the matters regarding their company in the hands of someone who they didn't trust much.

In the midst of all these important discussion, one person who's thoughts didn't leave Virat's mind was Anushka. He knew that Anushka would be a bit disappointed as she was excited about going out on an official date with him but, he also knew that she would understand his situation. He made a mental note in his mind to go and tell Anushka about the sudden plans by himself rather than telling about it to her over phone or text.

Once they were done discussing, Virat excused himself on the pretext of getting a coffee for himself and went to Hridaan's cabin to make a quick call to Anushka. He thought of asking her to go on a dinner with him. He knew that it won't be anything like the date he had planned for her yet, the least he could do now is to take her out, as a way of making upto her for cancelling their date plans.

Virat sat comfortably on the recliner which was there on the balcony next to Hridaan's cabin and dialled Anushka's number. While he heard the dialing tone did a quick prayer in his mind so that  Anushka would agree to go out with him. Putting an end to his misery, Anushka recieved his call in the third ring itself.

"Hey bub!" Anushka greeted Virat with the new nickname that she had chosen for him.

"Hey Nush! What's up?" Be it their 1st conversation or the nth one, the butterflies have permanently made their home in Virat's stomach now.

"Ugh nothing much! I was just trying to clean the mess that Giya has created." Anushka complained.

"Hahaha... Awww my poor Nush! May I know what was Giya trying to do actually?" Virat asked. He could only imagine how cute Anushka might be looking at that time with a frown on her face.

"She 'tried' making cupcakes for bhai. 'Tried' being the keyword here." Anushka grumbled.

"And if I am right, you were the one who ended up making those?" Virat guessed.

"Yuppp." Anushka said while popping out the 'p'.

"When am I getting the chance to taste those then?" Virat asked excitedly.

"You're asking it as if you have never tasted the cupcakes that I made."

"I did but I want to taste those too." Virat said like a 10-year old kid. Anushka awww-ed at his cuteness.

"Fine. I will send some to you with bhai in the evening."

"Nooooo... I want you to come and feed me those cupcakes with your own hand. Anshul can come too though." Virat said.
