Next few days passed in messaging each other because Annika was too awkward to meet him.

Shivaay~

Annika? You're going to avoid for how long?

Annika~

Please Shivaay! You know I need time.

Shivaay~

Time to reject me?

Annika~

You're taking it wrong Shivaay. I didn't mean that.

Shivaay~

I'm not taking it wrong Annika. I proposed you two weeks ago and you still need time to answer. Just say yes or no and finish it.

Annika~

What are you? Hrithik Roshan? How can you except me to answer this soon.

Shivaay~

Seriously Annika?

Annika~

Seriously Shivaay? We're not even a couple and you are already being so....

Shivaay~

I know what? I'm done for now.

Annika~

You're done? I'm done Shivaay. You can't even wait for 2 weeks and you were claiming that you love me.

Shivaay~

No question about my love Annika. I myself don't know what I'll do...

Annika~

Oh wow! Now you're threatening me.

Shivaay~

You don't understand Annika, you'll never understand.

*Beep Beep*

Shivaay hangs up the call and Annika wiped her tears. This guy is already making cry and he wants her to believe that he really loves her. No way!

Rachel- Annika? Why are you crying?

Annika- I'm so done with my life Rachel. My parents are eating my head from last two days, they are looking for a suitable groom for me and they want me to return India and this guy Shivaay, he wants me to answer as soon as possible. How can he expect me to love him after one or two meetings..

She sobbed wiping her tears.

Rachel- Look babe, ignore your parents for now. Let's focus on Shivaay.

Annika hummed nodding her head.

Rachel- Love is a very strong emotion babe and if he is so confident about loving you from the very furst sight that means he isn't lying. He's not asking you to love him back, all he wants to know is your thoughts about him. You guys are talking regularly from last two weeks which means you must be having an opinion about him in your mind. That's all he wants to know. What you think of him? Tell me.

Annika- I don't know. I'm confused about my feelings.

Rachel- If you're thinking that how can you love someone after just 1-2 meets then lemme tell you there's a thing called love at first sight. So please don't think of time, meetings etc.

Annika- I know but if I'll be ever be in a relationship with him, I want him to stay in my life forever.

Rachel- So don't ever let him go. But for that you have to tell him that you feel for him too.

Annika- Okay! But what about my parents. You know how conservative they are!

Rachel- Everything will be fine Babe. No one knows what life has got for you that's why take a chill pill and enjoy today.

Annika- All you mean is i should say yes to Shivaay and be his girlfriend.

Rachel- Yes my girl!

Annika- Okay! But not now. He just argued with me.

She said uninterestedly.

Rachel- Don't be a bitch Annika.

Rachel said rolling her eyes and Annika laughed.

Annika- I'm serious Rachel. Let's trouble him a little.

She said picking up her phone but Rachel warned her not to do this.

Annika- Stop being boring Rachel.

Annika~

Hello Shivaay! I'm sorry to tell you but i don't feel the same way you did because i already have a boyfriend and i was justi doing time pass as he was out of town. Hope you don't mind.

Annika laughed looking at her message.

Rachel- You're such a bitch Annika.

Annika- Whatever! I'm going for a walk now. Bye Babe.

Rachel- Bye bitch.

One the other side~

Shivaay hanged up the call and threw his phone which was luckily caught by Louis.

Louis- Woah Bro! Why so angry? What happened?

Shivaay- This girl! She is not understanding me a bit. I'm asking for a simple yes or no and she's being so...

Shivaay jerked his head back in frustration.

Louis- Seriously bro? You want a girl to believe that you love her after one or two meets only. That too when she's away from her real home. How can you expect her to love you instantly?

Shivaay thought for a while and realised he was kinda forcing her to say yes to him.

Shivaay- You're right Louis. I think i should apologise to her.

Louis- That's my boy! Go for it bro.

Shivaay picked up his phone from the bed and saw her message.

Shivaay again threw his phone in anger and this time it was shattered in pieces like his poor heart.

Louis- SHIVAAY?

But Shivaay stormed out of the room without answering to him.

*******

Annika was roaming around the campus when she decided to go to the nearby cliff to watch the sunset.

She went to the cliff and smiled happily thinking maybe this decision of her, saying yes to Shivaay will be the end to her loneliness.

Her stream of thoughts was broken by someone's sob.

She looked around but no one was there.

Annika- koi hai? Hello? Who's there? Who's crying?

Annika was looking for the person when she saw Shivaay sitting behind a big stone, his legs were folded and he was resting his head on his knees.

Annika- Shuvaay? What happened to you Shivaay? Why are you crying?

She ran to him and held his hand.

Shivaay looked up hearing her voice and his face was having fresh tears stains.

Annika- Oh my god Shivaay! Why are you crying love? What happened?

Shivaay thought it was his illusion and Annika isn't really here.

Shivaay- Wow! The one w--ho made me cry is as--king me this. Go aw--ay you chea--ter.

He said sobbing.

Annika- Oh god Shivaay! I was just troubling you, i didn't know you'll feel so bad.

Shivaay- Liar! You messaged me saying you have a boyfriend and you were doing time pass.

He said jerking her hand off from his hand.

Annika- Shivaay stop crying please. I was just pranking on you. I'm sorry.

Shivaay- Stop lying. I'm not falling for this innocent face again.

He started sobbing again.

Annika- You'll stop crying or I'll do something.

Shivaay- Blah! You're anyways going to vanish.

Annika- I'm going to vanish? Why?

Shivaay- Dumbo because you are not real. You're illusion.

Annika- What? WAIT! Shivaay are you drunk?

Shivaay- Illusion of Annika are you stupid? I'm not drunk ofcourse.

Annika- And I'm not stupid ofcourse. I can smell alcohol.

Shivaay bit his tongue as his little secret was out infront of Annika oops illusion of Annika.

Shivaay- You're so smart Annika. I'm impressed.

Annika rolled her eyes at his dramtic-ness.

Annika- Ho gya? Chale ab? (Let's go if you're over now.)

Shivaay- No I'm not going anywhere with you. You lied to me, you were playing with my feelings.

He again started crying and Annika face palmed herself.

Annika (in mind)- Eh munda tainu Shanti naal nahin rehen devega Annika, Kxh soch! (He will not let you be in peace Annika, think something.)

Shivaay- What are you thinking now?

Annika- Nothing! We can't go back yo our campus like that. The guard won't allow us in.

Shivaay- OH MY GOD! Annika is the reason of this.

Annika- I'm Annika Shivaay.

She said rolling her eyes.

Shivaay- No no, you're her illusion. Real Annika is at her hostel room.

Annika- Stop this illusion-illusion. We are going to stay in a hotel room tonight. Let's go!

Shivaay nodded and stood up. But he couldn't walk properly because of alcohol properly.

Annika- Haaye Rabba! Main tenu hune thapar lagana chahudi hu. Sharabi! (Oh lord, i want to slap you RN. Bloody Drunkard.)

She held him putting her one hand around his torso and holding his hand from other hand and helped him walk to the nearest hotel.

Shivaay was giggling all the time.
