Recap ~
Party!

All of them turned back when Shivaay literally gasped looking at Anika.
"You?! What are you doing in my house?" Shivaay asked almost shouting.

Hearing this, Om asked confused with shivaay's behaviour.
"What happened shivaay? Do you know her before itself!?"
To which Anika answered, "Yes Om I came to your house one day" and soon she narrated the whole incident that happened.

"Oh you were the girl about whom shivaay was talking about the other night! Shivaay she is my best friend Anu!" said Om side hugging Anika.

Shivaay hearing their conversation said, "Unbelievable! Om is she your friend?! How come? I just can't believe what I see now!"
"Excuse me Mr.Oberoi no need to be too shocked! Yes I'm Om's friend. Is there any problem?" asked Anika a bit irritated.

"Hi guys!" just then greeted Mallika from behind.
Soon she hugged everyone and then turned towards Anika,

"Hey Ani and Gauri! How are you guys? Very much happy to see you guys after so long!" asked Mallika.

Shivaay again was a bit surprised and interrupted his friend,
"Mallika, even you know her?"

"Yeah shivaay! I know her very well, Anika and Gauri are my girl besties! You don't know who she is? She is one of the well kn......" Mallika was about to continue when Anika interrupted her, "Hi jaan! I'm fine. It's been so long since I met you!"
"Okay now all of us are well known to each other. This is quite interesting guys" Om said surprised.
"It is very much shocking!" Shivaay said still in a shock.

Rudra was super excited now,
"I'm so happy because all of us know each other! We can rock the party tonight."

Soon the party started. And Prinku and Saumya joined the party later as they were sitting in prinku's room all the while.

"Hi Anika di!" Saumya exclaimed in surprise.
"Hi Somu! How come you are here?" Anika asked equally surprised.
"Didi Priyanka is my best friend so she invited me for this party. That's why I came here." she said.

Shivaay seeing all this from far was just wondering. His mind voice,
"Everyone knows her! But I..... Oh God, why am I even seeing her?! What's wrong with me! She and her attitude."

On the other side,

Rudra was just admiring Saumya who was talking to Anika. He felt as though he had never seen such an angelic beauty in his entire life time.

Rudra's mind voice,
"how cute that girl is!"

Everyone were enjoying the party that night. Shivaay and Anika did not fight anymore as they promised Om they would not do so. Om and Gauri became good friends in a short span of time. Om did feel somewhat familiar with that voice of hers, While here Rudra went towards Saumya and introduced himself!

"Hey hi I'm Rudra Singh Oberoi"
"Hi I'm Saumya Rathod. So you are priyanka's brother right?!" Saumya asked.
"Absolutely right!" Rudra said smiling brightly.

And they both spoke for a while when they were interrupted by a call.

"Yes bhaiyya! I was about to call you" Saumya said when her brother spoke out of concern,
"Okay Somu. Is the party over? When shall I come to pick you up?" asked her brother, who always acts like her dad.
"No bhaiyya, you need not come. I am going to stay with Prinku tonight! She told me to stay back. Is it Okay?"

"Okay Somu take care then! Eat well and sleep properly." he said.
"Okay bhaiyya. Don't forget your dinner! And please sleep early for God's sake instead of working on your cases!" Saumya said back very much concerned about her brother.

The party was over for that night. All the others left except Anika, Gauri, Mallika and Saumya. The three brothers were sitting along with the girls in a room having a chit chat session. All of them felt very close to each one by now! The gang of seven were completely busy talking that they didn't know....
