The next morning, everyone was seated for breakfast. Anika joined them too. Everyone enquire about Anika's health to her while she convinced them that she's fine. Since Anika's right elbow was injured, Gowry feed her. One morsel in her mouth, she started to cough hard and Gowry rubbed her back and give her some water. Gulping down some water, Anika refused to eat further saying she don't like the food.

Gowry : Didi... What? Dosa is your favourite food right?

Ani : I don't feel like eating gowry and buamma will be searching for me, go to go now.

Gowry : At least eat a little, you're not well.

Anika couldn't reason further, where everyone started to pester her eat. Having no choice she grabbed a slice of bread and peanut butter, eat hurriedly and soon she left Oberoi Mansion. Shakti request Khanna to drop Anika in her house since she cannot drive. Watching her varnishing figure, Shivaay sadly muttered "I know she won't eat". Shivaay was little loud this time, so everyone heard that and said "What?" In chorus. He anyhow the divert them.

Shivaay prepared her favourite food Dosa, knowing she going to have breakfast with them. He thought Anika will eat his handmade food after so long, so his heart will get lighter a bit but she refused and this made him upset again.

On the other side, the moment Gowry pushed a morsel of Dosa in Anika's mouth, her eyes bulged. The next second she know who made it. His handmade food? She chocked. She wanted to split the food, realising the surrounding, she swallow it with much difficulty. She couldn't stay there any longer, the thought that she ate his handmade food made her feel low. That one morsel made her feel like her self respect is dying each second. Reaching home, Anika forcefully throw up whatever she ate there and emptied her stomach. There she feel relaxed.

Back in Oberoi Mansion, as soon as Anika left, Jhanvi turned to Shivaay and asked "Shivaay do you know Anika beforehand?". Once again everyone's gaze move to Shivaay. Shivaay was tongue tied. He didn't know what to answer. His heart ready to jump out braking his ribcage anytime. " W..h..yyy....why..you ask like that badi Maa?" He asked stammering. Jhanvi replied casually shrugging her shoulder "Ahh, nothing just feel like asking?". Then Shivaay left the place immediately, thanking his PA for calling on correct time. Neither Jhanvi told why she ask such question suddenly out of the blue nor Shivaay replied her correctly. Instead of " Yes or No" he asked back "Why". Unfortunately everyone failed to notice this.

The next day, Anika, Radha and Sahil came to Oberoi Mansion to send off the newly wed couple Omkara and Gowry to honeymoon. The couple felt little embarrassed on their family. Where on earth a whole family will come to send off for honeymoon? None missed a chance to tease the newly weds. Anika and Rudy team up to tease them through out the entire journey to airport. They felt more embarrass when everyone screamed a " all the best" making the whole airport's gaze turn towards them. They aren't going to fight in borders to save their country. Do they? Omkara and Gowry knew that their family did it intentionally. Couldn't handle anymore, they just run towards boarding hall.

While going back home, Radha and Sahil went with Oberois to have some chit chats with the ladies. So Anika straight away drive to her office. Shivaay too excused himself and followed Anika in his car. Anika entered her office and everyone greeted her. That's when she notice that her staffs greeted someone else too hearing "Good Morning Mam, Good Morning Sir". Confused, she turn behind and saw Shivaay. She was taken back one second. "Shiiv...Mr Oberoi!?", she exclaimed. Before Shivaay explain, Bhavya came in between..

Bhavya : Sorry Anika di I forgot to tell you. Mr Oberoi came to meet you yesterday.

Anika just nodded and enter her cabin. She don't want to create a scene in front her staffs. Shivaay followed her back. She place her handbag on the glass table with thud and close all the blinds. She knew her staff love to peek inside her cabin. Back to her table she ask "May I help you Mr Oberoi?" still standing nor she let Shivaay to sit also. She was so happy chatting with Rudy a while before, where his brother pissed her mood in fraction of second.

Shiv : We need to talk Anika.

Ani : About?

Shiv : Actually I met Reen...

Ani : I will be glad if we keep it professional Mr Oberoi. No personal talks in working place. And it's good for our family too I guess.

Shivaay went silent for few minutes. She sounds so professional with head up and stern voice. He too know that this treatment only for him. She's not at all a strict boss like him. Her Bossy tone is only for him, he chuckled internally. With ever so calm voice Shivaay spoke.

Shiv : Humm.. I wanted to your company to manage an upcoming event of my company. (He lied)

Ani : May I know whether it is a official event or non official event and also when?

Shiv : It's official of course and the date on.. on end of this month. Yeah. (He goes with the fluke)

Anika pretend to check something on her tablet and spoke

Ani : Sorry Mr Oberoi, we already booked for an event on that entire week. (She lied too faking a pity face)

Shivaay very well know she lied. She's an open book for him, he can easily read her mind just looking at her face. He let out a silent chuckle. He found it cute. While she trying to avoiding him, he's so adamant to not leave that place. Looking everywhere but him, Anika spoke.

Ani : So Mr Oberoi..? I hope your work is done. Soooo..

Wait.. does she ask him to get out? Indeed she's so bossy and that's her very own office after all. This is not the correct time, Shivaay thought and turn to move out but stopped when he heard her voice.

Anika hand him a cheque. Shivaay crooked his one eyebrow upwards asking for an explanation.

Ani : This money belongs to you, if you forgot let me remind you, You said that I got Mr Gupta's contract on Oberois (Tej and Shakti) recommendation right. So this share belongs to Oberois only and thank you for recommending me.

Shiv : I'm sorry for my harsh words that day. It's truly your hard work Anika. We don't need this.

Saying this he almost to tear the cheque. But before he do, Anika spoke again..

Ani : Arree at least take that as my token of gratitude. (Watching Shivaay's confused face, she continue) If you never tried such stunt on Mr Gupta's annual dinner I won't be getting this much customers now. All thanks to you. If you never switch off the main, I won't be using my alternatives to turn on the lights back. Then you saw right how I got special appreciation and so does new customers.

She told him still maintaining her smiling face. Anika got to know that the mystery man who turn off the main switch was Shivaay. She saw the CCTV footage showed by the manager while apologising. Shivaay was clever enough to hide his face from cameras but Anika knew every ounce about him. His walking style, his cufflinks and adding more to her proof the suit he worn that day.

Shivaay once again tongue tied. There is no way of explaining. He is at fault. Without speaking anything he turn to leave but again stopped to her voice.

Ani : Wait...thank you for the help last night. You repaired my car right? Wait let me settle that money too.

Shivaay was upset for it. He know he is at fault and he's willing to bare all her tantrum but this.. She was in need for help that time and helped her but where does money come from suddenly? He just repaired her punctured tyre, is she really serious. That repairing didn't even cost much but here she is adamant to pay him the money. This action of Anika slightly touched his ego, he's not that worst to ask money from people he helped while they are in need.

Shiv : See Anika I agree I did wrong but I'm not that cheap as you think and I don't need any of your money.

Ani : Yeah you are not that cheap as i think but worst than that. Anyway Mr Oberoi just take this money. I don't want to be tag as gold digger again. This is your money, I don't want to keep them. Who knows maybe you yourself might call me a gold digger later. You love to call me like that after all. I ain't running behind your money or you, so take this and please leave.

Anika's each and every words literally stab Shivaay deep in his heart. It will be better if someone stab him with real knife. It won't hurt much as her words. Her words just piercing him making his heart to bleed. Now he can understand what does it mean by "killing with words". Anika can't help it either because her wounds are still fresh and burning. She's just giving him back his own treatment.

Shivaay storm out from her cabin without speak anything. As soon as he out, an idea strike his mind. He tore the cheques into pieces and entered again making her cabin door to swung in and out few times. He was smirking now.

Shiv : Oops see. (Showing the torn cheque). It's okay I'll get my cheque tomorrow Miss Anika...

Ani : I'm too busy to meet you tomorrow.

Shiv : I didn't tear it intentionally. Place doesn't matter to me, I want my cheque that's it. I can meet you wherever you want (He move forward and again turn back to face her) I will come here to get my cheque tomorrow. We need to talk Miss Anika and it's very much personal.

Saying he went out smirking. Finally he could meet Anika again. Maybe he can try to explain her, he thought. As soon Shivaay left, Bhavya and a staff enter her cabin. They thought something is not right.

Bhavya : Diii, all okay? You alright?

Ani : Haan Bhavya all good. Get I get some time alone?

Bhavya and the other staff nodded and left the place. Bhavya smell something fishy. She understood her Anika didi is not well but she choose to be silent and went out.

Anika was dumbfound. She knew if Shivaay decide something, he'll achieve it by hook or crook. She don't want to face him again. She was strong today, but can't maintain this every time. She might break down any moment. First she don't want to face him because she don't want dig her past again. Secondly, she's not strong enough, she's scared to face him again.
