(Anika's pov)

"Rudra go and call Shivaay for lunch." Dadi ordered.

"Dadi I'll go and call him. I have not yet met him and.....

"Yes, Yes Dadi let Anika di go and call bhaiya!" Rudra interrupted passing a teasing glare.

Dadi nodded and I made my way upstairs. Somewhere I was nervous but also excited to meet him. After whole 5 years I would be meeting him today.

I knocked the door waiting for him to reply. I heard a faint "Come in" and walked inside to find his back towards me.

"Ahmm ahmm" I cleared my throat to gain his attention.

He turned around and my breath hitched. Gosh! Maturity had hit him in a good way. His beautiful blue-green eyes, not to forget his sexy beard and cheekbone. Everything about him spoke power, classy, royal.

I was practically drooling on him.

"Done checking me out sweetheart?" His voice broke my trance. He smirked catching me red-handed.

"Nope!" And I looked at him from head to toe. I could see he was shocked but quickly masked his expression.

"It's been what? 5 years since that day and not even a single message or call from you!"

"I could say the same Shivaay. Anyways, congratulations for your wedding and everyone is waiting for you to join in for lunch." I turned around to walk away only to be stopped by him.

"What do you want Shivaay?" I pulled away my hand from his grip taking 2 steps back.

"Answers!" His eyes held an emotion which I couldn't depict.

"It's past Shivaay plus you are marrying Ragini so it's better you stop thinking about this and focus on your wedding." I walked out without giving him another chance to speak. A tear escaped my eyes which I quickly wiped away and joined others plastering a fake smile on my face.

"Di, you remember na that we have to go for shopping!" Gauri reminded me.

"Shopping! Rudra and Omkara you too go with them. I don't want my daughter's to get lost ." Said Pinky aunty making us smile.

"Mom they are not 5 year old that they will get lost!" I glared at Shivaay to which he scoffed.

"Shivaay they are our guest. And do you remember that you and Ragini have to go and collect your wedding clothes ! "

"I'll just ask store manager to bring it here!"

"No, Shivaay you have to go and check if there is any fitting problem with your sherwani or not . I don't want any chaos at last moment." Pinky aunty left no space for argument and Shivaay nodded half- heartedly.

...

"Gauri what will I do buying this heavy dresses, I'm not the bride!"

"Di, it looks so good on you and what if you find your prince charming in this wedding?" She raised her eyebrows with a smug smile on her face.

"This is not a fairytale Gauri and it's final I'm not buying this!"

"But..

"What's the problem girls?" Omkara asked standing beside Gauri.

"I asked di to buy this lehengas but she is denying saying that they are more like a bridal wear!" Gauri complained like a ten year old kid.

"Gauri if she doesn't wanna buy them, then it's okay. Don't force her. "

"Thanks Om." Atleast someone understand me.

"I'll gift these lehengas to Ragini. Actually mom said that we had to buy a gift for her and I couldn't decide what to plus I heard mom say that Ragini's shopping is still pending regarding other functions so ...

"This will be best as Anika di finds them too bridal type!" Gauri completed while I stood there jaws dropped.

"No, Im buying this lehengas." I stated

"But di, if you don't like then it's okay. Right Om?" To which he nodded.

"How can I deny my little sister's wish! I'll ask manager to pack them." And I ran towards counter without giving them another chance to stop me.

"Clothes done, jewellery done but matching heels are remaining. Come on Di, I saw a big designer stores down the floor when we entered inn. I'm sure we will get what we are looking for." Gauri dragged me inside the store and finally after an hour an half of selecting, denying and finalizing them we came out of the store with our hands full of bags.

"Gauri let's go to food court. I'm hungry." She nodded and we dumped our bags on table beside and waited for others to join.

"Di, I missed you." Rudra said as soon as ge saw me and sat beside me.

"Aww! Aren't you cute." I pinched his cheeks.

"Di, i'm hot not cute." He pouted making me chuckle.

"Shopping done?" Shivaay asked taking seat Infront of me to which I nodded.

"Let's order something. I'm starving!" I whined feeling my stomach grumble.

"What will you have sir," waiter noted down everyone's order and went back.

My phone ringed flashing Ragini's name on it. I excused myself and moved in corner to attend the call.

"Madam when are you gonna come to meet your best friend?" I asked faking anger.

"I'm on my way to Oberoi Mansion. I am stuck in traffic and will only reach after 45 minutes or so"

"Oh! We all are here, in the mall for  shopping. We will be there by an hour." By the time I returned food was already present on table and it was untouched. Guess everyone was waiting for me.

"Thanks for waiting guys." Finally the cheesy Taco graced his presence to my taste buds .

"Oh! Ragini is on her way to OM. So we have to hurry up." Others nodded and soon after munching on our snacks we made our way back to Oberoi Mansion.

..

We entered to find everyone sitting in hall with Ragini in between.

"Rags!" I called and she looked up with her lips widening with a smile and she rushed towards me engulfing me into a tight hug.

"I missed you bestie."

"My , my you have grew up quite hot babe!" I winked making her blush.

"Says the one who is looking no less than a Greek Goddess." I thanked her for the compliment and we girls made our way upstairs to catch up what we have missed in he past 5 years.
