Oberoi Mansion,

Gauri-"This all happened because of me. Mujhe Di ko akele nhi jaane dena chahiye tha."

Om-"Now stop Gauri. Ab ho gaya so ho gaya. Ab bas yahi pray kro ki bhabhi thik ho."

Tej-"I think we should inform police "

Shakti-"No bhaisahab. Shivaay gaya hai na use dhoondhne. Pata chal jaayega. Shivaay ke phone ka wait krna chahiye hume."

T-"Ok. But agar Shivaay ka call nhi aaya toh me thodi derr me police ko inform kr dunga."

Shakti nodded.

Pinky-"Mujhe badi tensions ho rahi hai. Meri bacchi thik toh hogi na?"

Janhvi-"Pinky tension mat lo. I know ki Shivaay use lekar hi aayega."

Daadi-"Bas Annika thik ho. Aur kuch nhi chahiye bhagwaan hume. Aur Shivaay ko jaldi mil jaaye woh."

In car,

Shivaay-"Annika, kisne kaha tha phir akela jaane ke liye. Agar last time jaisa kuch ho gaya toh..... Nahi Shivaay , kuch mat soch. Kuch nhi hoga meri Annika ko."

He called Khanna.

S-"Khanna, Annika ka location search hua?"

Khanna-"Sir mam ko phone off hai. But last location woh frame shop ke paas hi hai."

S-"Ok. Agar Annika ghar par aaye toh mujhe call krna. Aur haa, location trace krne ke liye try krte rehna."

K-"Yes sir"

      Shivaay cuts the call and drove towards that gift shop.
      He came out of the car and ran towards the gift shop. But Annika was not there. And that shop was also closed. He went to nearby shop and asked that shop owner about the frame shop.

S-"Woh frame shop abhi close hua hai kya?"

Owner-"Nahi sir. Woh shop toh 3 din se closed hai."

      Shivaay was shocked after listening that. He showed Annika's photo to that owner.

S-"Yeh aaj yaha aayi thi kya?"

Owner-"Pata nhi sir. Maine nhi dekha."

S-"Ok. Thank you."

      He came out of that shop. He asked many people on the street about Annika. But no one saw her there. Shivaay came to his car and leaned on the car.

S-"Kaha ho Annika? Ab mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai. I think mujhe police ko call krna chahiye."

      He said and was about to call the police but stops.

S-"Kahi Annika uske ghar toh nhi gayi. Haa may be wahi ho. Me uske ghar jaake dekhta hu."

      He said and drove towards Annika'a house.

Annika's house,

      Shivaay came there but the door was locked.

S-"Yaha bhi nhi hai. Ab kaha jau me? Kuch ho toh nhi gaya use. Nahi nhi. Agar use kuch hua hota toh mujhe feel hota."

      He said and sat there on the stairs.

S-"Ghar se bhi call nhi aaya , iska matlab ghar pe bhi nhi gayi. Pata nhi kaha gayi yeh ladki. Mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai. Kahi uss din ke jaisa kuch ho gaya toh?? Nahi... Ab me yeh sab handle nhi kr paunga. Annika agar mujhe phir se bhul gayi toh....." 💔

He said and now tears were falling from his eyes. He sat there for sometime. He gets one phone call.

S-"Annika ka hi hoga"

     He said and looked at caller ID but it was from Om. Shivaay received it.

S-"Hello"

O-"Hello Shivaay, Shivaay bhabhi mil gayi na?"

S-"No"

O-"Nahi matlab? Us shop ke waha nhi mili??"

S-"Nahi. Woh shop 3 din se closed hai."

O-"What?? Phir kaha gayi? Shivaay wahi aas-paas hogi. Tu dekh ek baar."

S-"Nahi hai Om. Maine waha sabse puch liya."

O-"Nhi hai? Phir kaha jaa sakti hai??"

S-"Pata nhi. Me abhi uske ghar aaya hu par yaha bhi nhi hai."

O-"Ghar par bhi nhi hai. Ab??"

S-"Om , ab mujhe darr lag raha hai. Agar use kuch....."

O-"Kuch nhi hoga Shivaay. Tu ek kaam kr tu wahi ruk. Me aata hu waha."

S-"Nhi Om. I think ab hume police ko inform kr dena chahiye."

O-"Haa. Me call krta hu. Waise kaha jaa sakti hai bhabhi? Office se toh nikal gayi thi na....."

S-"Office..... Haa office. Om tu police ko inform kr me ek baar Annika ke office jaake dekhta hu."

O-"Ok. Aur kuch pata chale toh call krna."

S-"Haa."

      Shivaay got up from the stairs and came to the car.

S-"Ab bas ek hi hope hai. Please Annika office me hi honi chahiye. Nahi toh pata nhi kya hua hoga uske saath...."

     Shivaay said sadly. Fear of loosing her was clearly visible in his eyes. His eyes were filled with tears. He wiped them and drove towards Annika's office.

Annika's office,

     Shivaay came there and ran inside the office. No one present in the office.

S-"Koi nhi hai yaha toh....."

     Suddenly he heard laughing voice.

S-"Yeh aawaj? Yeh toh Annika ke cabin se aa rahi hai. Annika....."

      He ran towards her cabin. He opened the door and was about to enter inside. But stopped looking at the scenario in front of him.

Annika's cabin,

      Annika was seating with someone on the sofa. And laughing loudly. And the other person was none other than Aarav.

     Shivaay looked at them shocked. They are hi-fiving each other and laughing on something. Shivaay looked at Annika. Tears formed in his eyes.
            He wants to go to her and hugs her. But the scene in front of his eyes broke his heart in million pieces.
      He composed himself and one last time looked at her face. She was so happy with Aarav. Shivaay left from there immediately.

Annika's cabin,

      Suddenly Annika felt someone gaze on her. She looked around first and then at door.

Aarav-"What happened Annika?"

Annika-"I think koi tha yaha. Me dekhti hu."

      She said and came out of her cabin. But there is no one as Shivaay already left from there. She came back in her cabin.

Aa-"Kaun tha?"

A-"Koi bhi nhi. Par mujhe kyu laga ki koi tha."

Aa-"Koi nhi hoga. Leave it. Yeh dekho its done."

A-"Oh woww... Its really beautiful. Thanks Aarav, tum the isliye yeh sab ho paaya. Warna me toh....."

********Flashback***********

      Annika left from office and came to that frame shop. But it was closed. She called on the number which was on that shop board. And she gets to know that the shop was closed since three days.

A-"Ab kya karu me?" Kaise frame krdu ise? Haa Gauri ko kisi aur shop ke baare me puchti hu."

      She said and looked at her phone.

A-"Oh..... Iski toh battery khatam ho gayi hai. Ab kya kru me? Kuch soch Annika..... Haa me office jaakar kisise puchti hu."

      She said and came to her office. But all staff already left from there.

A-"Sab chale gaye. Ab kya kru me??"

      She came to her cabin.

A-"Kuch na kuch toh krna hoga. Jaldi mujhe OM jaana chahiye. Shivaay pareshaan honge nhi toh."

      "May I come in" came a voice.

A-"Kaun hai? Please come in."

      Aarav came inside.

A-"Aarav tum?"

Aa-"Yes,hello"

A-"Hello."

Aa-"Office itna khali-khali kyu hai?"

A-"Sab chale gaye ghar."

Aa-"Toh tum akeli kyu ruki ho?"

A-"Kuch kaam tha. Tum batao aaj yaha kaise?"

Aa-"Are me actually yaha se jaa raha tha. Toh socha tumse milke jau."

A-"Oh... Accha kiya."

Aa-"What happened to you?"

A-"Mujhe?? Mujhe kya hua hai. Kuch bhi nhi."

Aa-"Itni pareshaan kyu lag rahi ho phir? Koi problem hai?"

A-"Haa actually....."

      She told him everything and shows that picture.

Aa-"Oh..... Yeh Shivaay ke brothers hai?"

A-"Haa Om and Rudra."

Aa-"Wow. They look great together."

A-"Haa. Isliye me Shivaay ko yeh gift dena chahti thi par....."

Aa-"Par kya? Abhi bhi tum de sakti ho."

A-"Kaise?"

Aa-"Tum itni badi event planner ho. Ek frame nhi bana sakti."

A-"But... ."

Aa-"You know what, apne haath se banakr kisiko kuch gift diya na toh uski value badh jaati hai."

A-"Are but abhi kaise banau? Kitna time lagega."

Aa-"Are toh me hu na. Hum dono milkar banayenge toh jaldi hoga. Mujge yeh sab craft banana accha lagta hai bachpan se. Aur dekhna Shivaay ko pasand bhi aayega. Taarif krega meri." 😂😂😂

A-"Ok"

Aa-"Chalo phir start krte hai. Hum saath me ek greeting card bhi bana lenge Shivaay ke liye."

A-"Hmm...ok"

********Flashback End********

Aa-"Isme thanks ki koi baat hi nhi hai. Yeh gift Shivaay ko bahut pasand aayega, dekhna tum"

A-"Hmm"

Aa-"Waise kya me kuch puch sakta hu tumse?"

A-"Haa pucho na. Permission ki koi jaroorat nhi hai."

Aa-"Actually its personal"

A-"Its ok. Pucho....."

Aa-"Shivaay aur tum sirf dost ho naa? I mean ki....."

A-"Shivaay aur me dost hai. In fact best friends hai. But mujhe pata hai ki dosti se bhi jyada kuch hai hamare relation me. Shivaay mere liye jo krte hai na kisine nhi kiya abhitak. And I am sure ki aage bhi koi nhi kr sakta."
😍😍😍

Aa-"Hmm. He is good person."

A-"No. He is best person. Shivaay is most amazing thing happened in my life. 😍😍 Me sabse jyada secure aur sabse jyada happy hoti hu jab me Shivaay ke saath hoti hu."

Aa-"Hmm. Ab chale? Ki yahi rehne kya iraada hai aaj?"

      Annika smiled at him and looked at watch.

A-"Oh my god 9 baj gaye. Pata hi nhi chala."

Aa-"Haa maine bhi notice nhi kiya."

A-"Sab log kitne pareshaan ho rahe honge. Shivaay toh sabse jyada. Mujhe jaana chahiye."

Aa-"Haa"

A-" Annika aaj toh gayi tu kaam se. Shivaay gussa honge bahut. Band bajne wali hai ab meri." 😂😂😂

Aa-"Don't worry. Aao me tumhe drop krta hu waha."

A-"Are nhi thanks. Me auto se chali jaaungi. Oberoi mansion durr hai yaha se. Tumhe takleef hogi."

Aa-"Pehle hi derr ho gayi hai na? Aur auto kaha search krogi itni raat me chalo me drop or deta hu."

A-"But. ..."

Aa-"Chalo warna tumhara Shivaay aur gussa ho jaayega." 😂

A-"Woh toh waise bhi hone wala hi hai. Ok chalo."

Outside Annika's office,

      Shivaay came outside of the office. He was still in the shock. He sat in his car. He got a phone call.

S-"Hello"

O-"Hello Shivaay, bhabhi mil gayi?"

S-"Haa."

O-"Sach?? Daadi , choti maa sino sab log. Annika bhabhi mil gayi."

S-"Om police ko inform krde ki ab use search krne ki koi jaroorat nhi hai."

O-"Ok. Tu jaldi bhabhi ko lekar ghar aa ab."

          Om cuts the call and Shivaay throws his phone out of the window.

S-"How could you do this Annika? Yaha me tumhe pagalon ki tarah search kr raha hu aur tum..... Tum us Aarav ke saath yaha ho..... Ek phone call tak krna jaroori nhi samjha tumne toh. Tumhare liye mere birthday se jyada Aarav ke saath time spend krna important tha kya?"

      He said and bang his hand on the steering wheel.

S-"Last 2 hours me kitni baar mara hu me. 😭💔 Aur tum yaha aaram se apne dost ke saath baithi ho. Kya kya khayaal aa rahe the mere mann me. Aur tum?? Ek baat toh final ho gayi tumhe mujhse jyada us Aarav ki fikar hai. Uske siwa kuch nhi dikhta tumhe. Phir me jinda hu ya mar gaya koi farak nhi padega tumhe." 😭💔

      He said and wiped his tears.

S-"Tumhe lagta hai, ki Shivaay ka kya hai. Jaldi maan jaate hai koi bhi baat. But ab nhi. Ab me kuch bhi explanation nhi sununga tumhara. Ab koi farak nhi padta mujhe bhi."

      He said and starts his car and drove towards Oberoi Mansion.

Oberoi Mansion,

P-"Om, abhitak kaise nhi aaye dono?"

O-"Choti maa, kitna traffic hai. Don't worry aa jaayenge."

D-"Sukar hai ki sab thik hai ab. Ab yeh dono jaldi aa jaaye bas."

Rudra-"Haa,mujhe cake bhi khana hai." 😂😂😂

All laughed at him.

Outside Oberoi Mansion,

      Shivaay was sitting in his car.

S-"Kya batau me ghar walon ko?? Koi nhi Shivaay, tu kyu itni tension le raha hai. Annika ko jo batana hoga batayegi. Par aayi nhi hogi abhitak. Haa special friend ke saath time spend krke hi aayegi na?"

      He was cursing Aarav when one car stopped in front of OM. Shivaay looked at the car.

S-"Yeh kiski car hai?"

      Then Aarav came out of that car and came to other side. He opened the door for Annika. Annika smiled at him and came down.
      Here Shivaay was burning in jealousy.

S-"Ab toh ghar bhi drop krne yeh aa gaya."

      Annika was about to go inside but came back and hugs Aarav.

A-"Thank you so much Aarav"

Aa-"Its ok. Ab jaldi jao. Warna
Shivaay aur gussa hoga." 😂😂

      Annika hits on his shoulder and Aarav smiled and left from there.

      Shivaay came out of the car. Now he was more angry. Annika looked at Aarav's car and waved her hand. She smiled and went inside the mansion.

Oberoi Mansion,

       Annika came inside. Pinky and Gauri came to her and hugs her.

P-"Annika, beta kaisi ho tum?"

G-"Di kaha gayi thi aap, kitna darr gaye the hum sab."

A-"I am sorry aunty. Woh kuch kaam tha."

P-"Accha thik hai. Koi baat nhi. Ab toh aa gaye na tum log.... Shivaay kha hai?"

A-"Shivaay?? Shivaay bhi nhi aaye kya abhi tak??"

P-"Are tumhare hi saath tha..... Lo aa gaya."

    Pinky said as Shivaay came inside. Annika smiled at him. He looked at other side and came to Pinky.

R-"Chalo ab cake cut kr lete hai."

S-"Koi jaroorat nhi hai."

O-"Matlab??"

S-"I don't want to celebrate"

P-"Par Shivaay ab toh sab thik hai na....."

S-"Mom , I don't want any celebrations now."

A-"What happened Shivaay? Why are you saying this?"

S-"Mom, celebrate krne ke liye koi reason nhi hai ab. Bata do sabko. Aane ki koi jaroorat nhi thi. Jhootha dikhawa krne ki toh bilkul nhi. Ab koi celebration nhi ho raha yaha."

    He said and left from there.

A-"What happened to him?"

Precap :- Shivika fight. 💔 💔 Shivaay's birthday celebration. But Shivaay is still angry on Annika. So,what will Annika do? 😂😂😂
