Anika laughed out loud hysterically all of the sudden causing Shivaay to drop his glass of lassi. It fell and shattered, but Shivaay had a bigger problem in front of him. ANIKA!

'Why are you laughing?', he asked.

'I don't know!', she replied, went on laughing and walked into the house.

'What's wrong with her? Why is she laughing all of the sudden? Is she mad or drunk or what? Why do I care... Wait a minute, is she drunk? Because of the lassi???!!!', Shivaay exclaimed while cupping his face in shock.

'It did taste a bit weird just now, did Dadi mixed something in it? Oh no! Where she went? She was just here a few minutes ago..', he was so engrossed in his self talk session that he didn't realize that Anika has already left. He then went in looking for her.

'Anika!! Anika!! Where are you???', he screamed out at the top of his voice while looking high and low for her. He went inside her room but she wasn't there. He checked each and every room on the first floor including his but she was nowhere to be seen.

'Where did she disappear?? Looking after a sobber Anika itself is a huge task, now that she's drunk, I wonder what hell I'm going to go through today! God, please help me!', he told himself. His chain of thoughts were broken when he heard her scream.

He rushed out and find her at the staircase. She was sitting on edge of staircase's holder with a extremely mischievous look.

'No! No! No!', Shivaay shouted out while running fast towards her but in vain. Anika was faster than him. She waved him by her hand and lets go of herself. She slide down the staircase like a child. Happily, excitedly, euphorically as if she's flying and Shivaay on the other hand, being worried for her rushes to the bottom. He tries to hold her to ensure that she doesn't hit the ground when she reaches bottom. Due to the force of the speed she was travelling in at the moment, both of them fell down, with Anika on top of Shivaay.

Their body were pasted against each other. His hands were on her waist and her hands were on his shoulder. Anika lifted her head slowly. Strands of her hair were stuck on his beard and moustache as she pulls away. Shivaay removed them and tucked them neatly behind her ears. Her eyes were fixed on his deep blue-green eyes. She lost herself in his orbs which were as calm as the sea.

'Shivaay!', she called out softly.

'Hmmm?!', he replied.

She closes her eyes tightly and planted her head into his chest.

'I'm dreaming! I'm dreaming!', she chanted on while being in his chest.

'No, you're not! And please get off me! You're getting heavier!', he exclaimed in frustration.

She detaches herself from him and sat  down on the floor. He get up composed himself and was in a relief that she isn't going anywhere.

'Anika... are you okay?', he asked while cupping her face. She shook no and began crying.

'Why are you crying??? What happened?? Are you hurt somewhere???!!!', he asked while checking her arms and head.

'I'm hurt! Big time!!! Here!!! (she pointed at her heart) because of you!!! I hate you!!', she said while crying.

'Okay! Okay! You're hurt. You hate me... it's fine! Right now you need some sleep. You're drunk. Let's get you to bed, okay?', he spoke as sweetly as possible to her.

'No! I don't need sleep now. I need my Prince Charming now!!! I want to kiss him!!!', she blurted out drunk.

'What???', Shivaay panicked.

'What nahi kiss!! Kya tutti puthi 2rps kismat mili hai mujhe!!! [What kind of 2rps fate I've begot]. I'm 23 now and I haven't had my first kiss yet! Girls of my age have had much more of their first times! And me... I'm still looking for my Mr.Perfect. My Prince Charming', she blabbers while sobbing.

'I thought I'm your Prince Charming?', Shivaay began enjoying the conversation with a drunk Anika. 'So, you were saying you wanted a kiss right? Should I kiss you?', he said, sent her a flying kiss and winked with a very mischevious smile.

Anika was shocked to her core.

'Chi! 2rps Cheapde!!!', she shouted out and sprinted away. Shivaay was running behind her. She stopped in front of the kitchen and rushed in. Shivaay also followed behind her. She took out a small knife which she calls 'chakku' and points towards Shivaay.

'Don't come near me! My first kiss and my first time is reserved for my Mr.Perfect! It's a different issue that I can see you as him but no! Don't come near me!', she threatens him.

'Okay! Okay! I won't. I surrender! Now please put the knife down!', Shivaay tries to take the knife away but she didn't allow.

'Promise first! Pinky promise!', she said while pointing out her Pinky finger.

'Okay! Pinky promise!', he obeyed her and took the knife from her hands. He puts in back into the knife rack and places the knife rack on the top shelf. When he turned around, Anika was standing there with flour in her hands.

'What's this?', he asked.

'I want to play Holi!', she shouted and smeared the flour on his face. Shivaay was unable to do anything.

She jumped up and down in happiness while clapping her hands. 'Yaaay! Holi hai! Bura na mano!!', she screamed right in front of his face. Shivaay has had enough of it. He took a fistfull of flour but Anika noticed it and started running. Shivaay chased with flour in his hand.

'You wanted to play Holi right? Let me show you how Holi is played!', he said vengefully.

They almost ran the whole house when Shivaay finally manages to corner her. She was pleading no to him in a very childish and cute manner. Shivaay's heart was almost going to melt but still, he went ahead to smear it on her face but at that time she pushed his hand away causing all the flour to drop on the floor. Anika began laughing like a maniac.

'Haha! Looser!!', while jumping and clapping her hands. Shivaay was angry at first then he smirked and pulled her towards him. He held both her hands with his hand and proceeded to rub his right cheeks against her left cheeks. She closes her eyes because of their intimacy. He then pulls away and went on to rub his left cheek against her right cheek.

He then leaves her and distances himself from her. Anika still being in the trance of their proximity was holding her hair up in the air and smiling, or should I say blushing.

'Who's the looser now?', he asked her victoriously. She regained herself and realized what had just happened and began sobbing again.

'God! Why is this drunk Anika crying over everything!', he thought to himself.

'Don't do this!! Don't come near me!! Or else..', she stopped.

'Or else... what?', Shivaay asked while bulging his eyes.

'Or else I won't be able to control myself!!! I'll say everything and do things to you!', she blurted out very frankly while sobbing.

'Fhat the wuck!', Shivaay exclaimed and crossed his arms accross his body in self-defence.

'Exactly! Raita phail jayega... meri dil aur deemak main! [There'll be a mess... in my heart as well as my brain]. Whenever you come close to me, my heartbeat becomes very wild! The other day at the Gazebo in Mussorie when we danced in the rain, at that time I felt like my heart was going to break my ribcage and fall out of my body. My brains stop thinking. And your eyes! I'm just mesmerized by them. They're colorful! They change colours. Sometimes I have to stare to find out what colour are your eyes today. It makes me feel so lost! And you know what? This is a top secret!!! Sometimes I also feel like you're my Prince Charming! But you're not perfect. Not the way I want! You're Mr. Imperfect Sadu Singh Oberoi! But still I feel so attracted towards you!! I think... ', she stopped and looks at Shivaay who was listening to her very much anticipated.

'I think...'

'You think... say it Anika, I'm listening!', Shivaay urged her.

'I think I'm going to puke!', she said and closed her mouth with both her hands.

'What??!!!', he exclaimed surprisedly. 'Not here Anika! Go to the washroom!! I swear I'll kill you....', and she puked on him before he could complete the sentence.

Shivaay was extremely angry and he was covered in her vomit. All he could do was to close his eyes to sustain his anger.

'Phail Gaya Raita!' Anika says and closes her eyes. With her hands.
