Next sunday chubby uncle came to see cricket. He called Manorama. She came and poured water on his glass.

Chubby uncle : aarigato.

Mano : again, you said it again. Today i will not leave you. What do you think of yourself, haa? Didn't see a beautiful girl and started flirting.

Manorama said holding his collar. Chubby uncle was confused. Hearing her scream, anika and shivay come to there and saw the scenery. Anika immediately came to manorama and dragged her from there. Shivay came to chubby uncle.

Shiv : uncle, you plz go. And plz don't come onwards to see cricket, otherwise you can't imagine what will happen.

He also dragged uncle outside.

****************

Shivay was sitting at the garden with Anika on his lap. She is sleeping keeping her head on his chest. Shivay looked at her sleeping face and kissed her forehead. He picked her up and took her to her room. From a distance, Manorama was watching them. Shivay came back to OM. On the way to his room, he saw manorama. She stopped him.

"What happened mano?" Shivay asked.

"Answer me honestly. You love Anika na?" Manorama asked from nowhere.

"At least you undertood me. Nobody noticed it till now, but you....."Suddenly shivay's got emotional. Manorama also got emotional seeing his face.

Shivay started to laugh a maniac making Manorama confused. Somehow he controlled his laugh.

"Mano, it's true that i love her and she also loves me back. But , best friend wala love." Shivay said with a smile and left to his room. Manorama couldn't understand anything. She shrugged her shoulders.

Next monday, shivika came to their college and joined their gang. They saw some preparations are going on.

"What's the matter guys, why is this banners and all?" Anika asked.

"You guys don't know?" Om asked and shivika shook their head.

"Arey our Kumar Sanu is joining back to the college, after getting first prise on a show." Rudy said in his famous dramatic way

"Matlab?" Shivika asked in unison.

"He meant Daksh Khurana is joining back. He is the winner of the Kerala show Idea Star Singer. And the management decided to give him a welcome party." Gouri cleared their doubts.
Shivika nodded their head understanding

***************

All gathered at the auditorium.

"Dear students....." principal greeted everyone

"Jiiiiiiiiiii....... " students responded so long

"We gathered here to give a welcome party to our student Daksh Khurana, who won a singing competition named Idea Star Singer, that too of an another state, Kerala." Principal said ever so proudly. Students clapped.

"I invite Daksh to the stage to sing a song for us." Principal invited Daksh and he came to the stage.

He started to sing the song. In the middle he forgot the lyrics. Anika started to sing the remaining lyrics in the flow. She suddenly realized what she done.

"Why you stopped? Come on sing." Daksh encouraged her.

Anika hesitated. Shivay picked her up and brought her to the stage. She looked at shivay. He smiled assuring her. Anika and Daksh started to sing.

****************
Shivay and Anika were walking to the parking lot.

"Anikaaaa." Shivay and Anika turned. Daksh came to them running

"You sang very well. Have you learned music?" Daksh asked with so much sweetness. Shivay and Anika looked at each other. Shivay nodded his head to Anika.

"Yes, i have recently  learned karnatic music from Adam Levin." Anika said with a 940 volt smile.

"Really, thats amazing." Daksh said with surprising face. Shivika looked at each other with a jolt.

"Ani, i think we should go home. Bye Daksh." Shivay dragged her from there.

***************

They came to RM laughing. In the hall, their parents were sitting and chatting with eachother.

"What's the matter? Why both of you laughing like maniacs?" Pinky asked them. Shivika looked at each other and again started to laugh loudly. They narrated everything to them. All started to laugh.

***************
Next day shivika were sitting in the college campus. Behind shivay, Tia is sitting facing his back. She was looking at shivay dreamily. Anika noticed her.

"Shiv...." Anika whispered. Shivay narrowed his eyebrows.

"I will show you something." She took her phone and silently took pics of Tia. She slowly, without making any doubt to anyone gave the phone to him. Shivay looked at the pic. His jaw dropped. He hit his head.

"Why are you troubling that innocent girl. She love you. Why are you not replying yaar." Anika asked with frown.

"Ani plz yaar. You know na, i don't like that girti firti world bank." Shivay said irritatingly.
