Shivaay and Anika finally reached the Shivika Mansion which Anika bought.

Shivaay stepped down from the car along with Anika. Shivaay opened the backseat door and took sleeping Shivika in his arms.

Anika came and stood by his side while looking at the house.

A- I know it's not as huge as Oberoi Mansion but..

S- I don't want a mansion Anika. I want my home where I live with my family and where there is love and care.

Anika looked at him, trying to understand his inner turmoil. She knew that he's confused about his past life and hurt about his mother's behavior.

She was about to enter the house when Shivaay stopped her.

S- Do we have all the grocery in the kitchen?

Anika was confused but she nodded her head.

S- Ok. Wait here.

Shivaay was about to enter the house when Anika stopped him.

A- Shivaay, where are you going? You are still not well.

S- Wait here.

Shivaay went inside the kitchen and filled a glass with raw rice.

He took it and kept in front of Anika.

He came and stood beside her.

A- Shivaay.

S- Just kick it with your right leg. I want to start a new life with you while following all the rituals. I don't even remember our wedding.

Anika lowered her eyes because they never got married. She had so many dreams for her wedding with Shivaay but one night,everything was destroyed.Anika's eyes filled with tears. Shivaay noticed this and got tensed.

S- Anika. Are you okay? I'm so sorry. Did I hurt you? I... I..

A- I'm okay, Shivaay.

S- Are you sure?

Anika nodded her head and smiled a little. She kicked the glass and Shivaay held her hand. They entered the house together like a perfect family.

They entered the living area.

S- Its very beautiful.

A- Hmm.

S- Lets make Shivika sleep in her room. She's very tired.

Anika nodded her head. They headed towards Shivika's room.

Anika lied down Shivika on her bed and covered her with a blanket. Shivaay and Anika kissed her forehead.

Anika looked at Shivaay who was already looking at her keenly.

A- I think it's time to tell you everything.

Shivaay nodded his head.

A- Let's go.

Anika headed out of Shivika's room and Shivaay followed her.

They went to the backyard of the house.

Anika reached the white bed kept on the wooden floor and sat on it. She patted the place at her side and asked Shivaay to sit down beside her and Shivaay obliged.

A- Do you remember how we became friends from enemies?

S- Yes. How can I forget that?

Flashback starts-

Shivaay was totally smitten by Anika. He has never seen a girl who stood so strong and knows to handle herself so gracefully. She was fiesty and at the same time, calm and composed too.

He just wanted to befriend her but to become Anika's friend wasn't a piece of cake.

He tried everything to woo her and to be her friend but Anika royally ignored him, thinking that he already has a girlfriend and trying to cheat on her with her.

Shivaay always tried to keep a distance from Tia but Tia being Tia always sticked to him like chewing gum.

One Week later, all the students were taken for camping. Everyone was very excited.

The camps were set in the woods. The bornfire was lit. Everyone sat around the bornfire and were singing and dancing and having their leisure time, away from all the city stress.

Anika and Shivaay were sitting opposite to each other. Tia was as usual clinging to him to show Anika that Shivaay was his but Anika was least interested.

Shivaay was continuously looking at Anika, admiring her beautiful face in the light of fire. Tia noticed this and fumed in anger. She started clinging to him more.

Anika looked at Shivaay, then at Tia who smirked at her. Anika averted her gaze and started looking here and there.

A(thinks) - What does he think of himself? He has a girlfriend then also he's pestering me. God knows what does he want. I need some fresh air. This clingy couple's romance is totally irritating me.

Shivaay noticed the change in expressions of Anika.

Anika stood up from her place and went towards the forest.

Shivaay looked angrily at Tia and pushed her from his arm.

S- What's wrong with you, Tia? Why are you climbing on me like a creeper? Can't you see that I don't want to talk to you? I didn't said anything to you because I didn't want to spoil our friendship but you're crossing your limits now. Stay away from me.

Shivaay angrily got up from his place and followed Anika into the forest.

Here Anika was confused about her feelings, she was feeling really weird when she saw Shivaay with Tia.

A- Oh God! This is getting so messed up.

Suddenly she heard a roar of lion. She looked around and realised that she came very deep into the forest and she has lost her way out.

She again heard the roar. She got scared and started running in the forest. Suddenly she saw someone sitting near the tree. She ran towards him and was shocked to see Shivaay sitting there.

Shivaay looked at her and smirked.

S- Missed me, baby?

A- You? What are you doing here?

S- Why? Only you can do things here?

A- You.

Anika glared at him angrily.

A- Why can't you just leave me alone and go to your girlfriend?

S- I think there will be a headline in tomorrow's newspaper that a forest burnt because a heart was burning on fire and jealousy.

Shivaay said with a smirk. Anika, firstly didn't understand the meaning of his words but then everything got its meaning and she glared at him.

A- Don't try to be oversmart.

S- Ya right.

A- What do you want? Just go from here and leave me alone.

S- I can't. Do you want to go to the camp or you want to do 'jungle mein mangal'?

A- Why didn't you get to do 'jungle mein mangal' with your girlfriend?

S- And the fire kept on increasing. Do we have any solution to extinguish this fire?

Suddenly it started raining heavily. Anika and Shivaay were both drenched from head to toe.

S- And here we go. God has finally found his way to extinguish the fire burning your heart.

Shivaay said with a chuckle and Anika hit him on his shoulder.

As the rain grew heavy, the stood under the tree to save them from getting more drenched.
