PHASE 1 : SETTLING-PART 1

Anika and Shivaay reached Mumbai prepared to embrace their life in Mumbai. Both were informed by their broker that due to last minute settlements they will have to wait till evening to get the apartment . Both of them checked into the hotel provided by their Broker

ANIKA POV :

"Finally Mumbai , Wishes to be fulfilled , Places to travel , Mystery to unfold (with a little smirk) Ahh, I am Impatient ! Let me explore Mumbai till my stupid broker finalize the apartment"

SHIVAAY POV:

"Nothing has changed, our Financial Capital is as busy as it has ever been . This is the place that gave me name and fame and also snatched the soul that gave meaning to my life . I have to lay low , first let me shower and go out for a walk"

.........

After 2 hours, both of them reached down and were walking towards the reception from different directions

"Who will be my flatmate ? will she be trustworthy, In this world full of deceivers specially the industry I am stepping into" wondered Anika

She fails to notice the person approaching from the other side and both of them run into each other

"Why am I so conscious ? God! laying low requires lots of efforts (seeing Anika walking from other side) wow a great opportunity to test my skills let me run into her and find out if she identifies me" 

Shivaay catches Anika tightly by her waist to prevent her from falling, Anika feels her entire body vibrating, a feeling of deja vu engulfed her as she stared at the eyes of the person who saved her, the eye lock lasts for a while before the Receptionist approach them

 "Mam are you ok?"  questioned the Receptionist

Both of them stood upright and corrected themselves

"I am fine all thanks to the beautiful lady beside who saved me at the right moment " replied Anika

"Mam if you both don't have any plans now please do attend the event organized in our party hall its a Annual Day Event of SUNSHINE Degree College , A Play is also scheduled, I am sure it will keep you entertained" suggested the Receptionist

"Sure will be more than happy to attend it thank you!" 

After the receptionist left Anika turned around to express her gratitude  "Thank you for saving me and I have to admit you have beautiful eyes sometimes it appears blue sometimes green I was totally lost in it" 

On hearing no response she shakes the lady

Shivaay POV 

This girl is gorgeous she appears to have a strong personality , Shivaay what are you thinking , making her stand upright I kept staring at her , how didn't I notice her before suddenly my whole world stopped , everything turned black what remained was my vision clouded with her image , I was brought back to reality by her touch on my shoulder , Are you ok ? she asked me for which I blabbered something gibberish after making enough fool out of myself I finally woke up from my beautiful fragment of imagination

"You have beautiful eyes Mam" Anika said

"Thank ..wait what mam?"

"I suppose you are female unless you are a.."

"NO, sorry I just zoned out ( wondering- Idiot you are in disguise..wait she didn't recognize me that means my disguise is a sucesss)

Well thank you for the compliment young lady"

Smiling Anika left towards the hall

.....

Anika excitedly reached the venue and sneakily enter the backstage hoping to grab onto a role if any,she spots a mid age man wearing a Assistant Badge and approaches him 

Assistant : "Jesus we are in short of a person to complete the cast of play ! From where do I find a person who will enact?"

Anika: "Hello Sir! myself Anika , ham na seedha point pe athe hei ham soch rahe the do you have any role unfilled , please sir I know I am asking you at the last minute ham ek struggling artist hei ek chance dedo Koi bhi role karlenge"

Assistant : "Hello! patience young lady patience, Koi bhi role karlogi (smirking)?"

Anika : "YES!"

Assistant : "Okay come with me ( Thank you Jesus )"

..............

.........

On the other side Aarna and Ishaan also reach Mumbai and check into the hotel

Aarna POV 

 Hey Shankarji kese lag rahe ham? bilkul SSR ki tarah na handsome , wese hum ladki hei but kya kare apne safety keliye ladke ki tarah dress karna padh raha hei 

Ishaan POV 

Finally Mumbai , Aaj kha din hei kharab hei pehle woh stupid broker delay kardiya ab yeh hotel wale mere kapde gande karke ladki khe kapde pehna diya, mujhe uss stupid broker ke paas luggage nahi chodna chahiye tha, thank God! I atleast have a long hat to cover my face , Dammit such a waste of time. I feel weird having everyone's eyes on me only, Jaldi se phut le Ishaan, Aree ha suna hei party hall mei program chal raha hei waha chala jatha hu andhera rahega aur time pass bhi hojayega

Both of them run into each other at the entrance

"Aur kuch bura hona bacha hei kya aajke din mei "  thought Ishaan

"Hey Shivji , kisse takrayi(without looking up she mutters sorry and enter inside)"

"Waah aajkal ke ladko mei tameez hi nahi hei , what the fuck mei bhi ladka hei huna iss ladki ke outfit ne mujhpe asar dikha hi diya, chalo let's enter " thought Ishaan 

Faking a smile he enters the hall

On the other hand Shivaay also lands in the party hall

The program was on full swing when all of their phone pinged with a notification of message from the Broker updating them on the details of location of the Apartment

The message was received with different emotions
