PRESENT 

BRIGADE PARK, MUMBAI

The park was in complete silence . Anika and Aarna were the only souls in the park. Anika's narration had ended long back, light tears marks adorned their face, they both were in deep thoughts. Anika's stomach grumbled reminding them of their need to go home .

" Anika , give a chance to yourself , there is nothing outside of yourself , first live your life, I don't want a damsel in distress to fight for my brother "  said Aarna " And yes always remember don't loose your identity making Annirudh as the base of every decision of your life , move on sweetheart " she added .

CLESTA APARTMENTS 

 "Set her free, let her be independent , have a life outside her , Man stop being Anikalious and give her some space trust me things will fall into place " 

Ishaan's words kept ringing in Shivaay's ears . Both were seated in the balcony waiting for the girls to arrive . The whole time Shivaay seemed to be deeply absorbed in his thoughts . Girls finally came home . Aarna and Ishaan gave each other a smile and proceeded to prepare breakfast leaving the duo behind to collect themselves .

" Love doesn't mean you stop from living your life, It fills your life but never keep you from your responsibilities instead supports you. It always keeps you going , lovers can surpass hardest of tests only if they believe on love "  I hope they understand and experience it said Ishaan taking Aarna in a kiss . 

" We waited this long to let them sort themselves, In the process of fighting for Annirudh, I feared they will loose themselves forever . It's been a month we ended up in this apartment , we have laid low and haven't aroused much suspicions . Remember Ishu when I found out my brother's lover is married , I got so annoyed and almost reached their home to confront , I am guilty, if it weren't you I would have messed up " responded Aarna

" When a lover takes on a wrong route it is the responsibility of  his/her love to refrain them from committing a blunder even if it means you have to fight with them , I only saved myself from being guilty Aaru .Moving on is a parcel of life and moreover  Shivaay and Anika's love was blossoming . I couldn't let you harm it and as far as Annirudh's case is concerned we have to get back to base to discuss further . Vikram Kumar and his allies have stopped subjecting us to surveillance " smirked Ishaan

" Letting your enemy feel everything is under his control is the first step to defeat him , that overconfidence will surely fetch us an opportunity."  stated Aarna

Later that evening all the four had gone out for their respective works . A unknown person in mask sneaked into Annirudh's former apartment

" Finally found an opportunity to enter this place. Today I have to find out the actual owner of this house . Alive or dead that writer is always a threat. "

The house was pitch dark , hunting the house for whole two hours he returned empty handed but left a important clue for the squad 

Shivaay and Anika spent the whole day outside. Both of them had taken steps towards reviving themselves. Positive signs were developing but for Aarna and Ishaan things took an ugly turn.

The place was completely dark we can see a person crying out of anger , holding a gun in hands the person rapidly marched towards the other person tied on the chair aiming a gun on his forehead
