They were on their way to Shivaay's house when Anika opened her mouth to say something but Shivaay cut her beforehand.

'Before you say anything to have an argument with me, I would like to remind you that I don't like to be disturbed when I'm driving', he said.

'Great! You decided that I'm going to argue without even listening to what I was about to say right?', Anika asked being miffed.

'What am I supposed to do then? Everytime we talk, we end up arguing and everytime we argue something gets screwed up!', Shivaay exclaimed.

'Exactly! Every time we argue, raita phail jati hai!', Anika spits her thought.

'Hmmm... I think even Universe doesn't want us to be arguing and fighting!', Shivaay said mindlessly while driving.

Anika got surprised hearing the word universe from Shivaay.

'Kya bath hai? A Sadu like him can use words like universe and all! Wah! He might be a little spiritual from the inside. It's just that I doesn't potray it on the outside', she thought to herself smilingly.

Once they reached home, they said good night to each other and went into their respective rooms. Anika excitedly went on her bed and took out her scrapbook. She turns to the page where she had pasted Shivaay's photo and adds another sentence in the scribble.

"He should always protect me!"

After that, she hugged the book close to her heart.

'Shivaay Sir may not be my Mr.Perfect, but I'm getting lots of Mr.Perfect goals from him. Only from his cute Billu Ji side not from the Tadibaaz Bagad Billa  side!', she said with a little smile or most probably blush.

The next morning, Anika woke up before Shivaay. She went straight into the kitchen thinking of preparing something for breakfast for the both of them. Firstly, she prepares his espresso and then she gets into making aloo poori. By that time, Shivaay has already got up and was at the entrance of the kitchen.

'What have you done Anika???!! Raita phailathiya meri kitchen ko tumne!!! Why is my kitchen so messy like this???', he literally shouted out looking at the condition of the kitchen. The kitchen looked hell messy. Flour were dropped on the floor and on the cabinet. Vegetables peeling on the cabinet. To add to this, almost all of Shivaay's cabinet doors were open.

'Good morning! I didn't do anything. I just wanted to make you breakfast. See its done! Your espresso and aloo poori!', she exclaimed excitedly while showing him the food she had just prepared.

'Okay, fine! I don't want to start my day by arguing with you. You've made breakfast right? Now let me clean all this mess. Just go and eat. Without making a mess there', he instructed.

'No! You go and eat, I'll clean up all these mess. Ab jab raita maine phailayi tho samitna bhi mera kaam hai na! You go and enjoy this breakfast', she puts the plate on Shivaay's hand, turns him around and pushes him slightly away from the kitchen.

Shivaay wonders what's wrong with her today. Usually she'll retaliate, never admit her fault and start an argument but today, she agreed to Shivaay's statement and in fact she herself offered to clean up the mess. Nevertheless, he shrugged off all the thoughts and went ahead to enjoy the breakfast she's made for him. He relished the espresso, it was just upto his taste. And the he dug into the aloo poori. One morsel in and Shivaay's face became awkward.

'Why has she put this much of salt in this???!!!', he wonders.

Just then, Anika comes out of the kitchen and took her seat in front of Shivaay. She smilingly asked how is the food to Shivaay. Bechara Shivaay was just able to do this as he doesn't want to make her feel bad.

Then he went on eating it. He realized that Anika wasn't eating and asked her whether she's eaten anything or not?

'Woh... actually I already made egg sandwich and are it earlier. I made that for you as well but I was very hungry, so I ate yours as well. Then i thought of making another one for you but bread was over. Then I remembered the only other thing I know to make apart from egg sandwich; aloo poori and I made it for you!', she spoke very innocently not knowing the terrible situation she's put Shivaay in.

After breakfast, they went to office. Anika went straight into her workplace to work on the finale piece and Shivaay got busy arranging stuffs for the premiere of his Autumn collection launch. They both got so evolved in their work that they didn't realize the time flying away. Just then, Shivaay's phone buzzed. He received a photo of Gauri and Om from Om. It was captioned "Bonjour! Sending loves from your favourite café in Paris! Miss you Shivaay! ;) ". He smiled at it.

Then, he remembered Anika cribing to him about Gauri not contacting her and went into her workplace to show the picture to her.

'Anika! Om sent a picture of him and Gauri from Paris. Here, take a look', he said while handing the phone to her.

'Aww! They look so cute together! But I'm very much angry with Gauri! She could go to café with Om but she can't find time to send me even a text message', Anika said and passed the phone angrily to Shivaay.

'It's not like that! She might have been busy. You would know soon when you're working on our Autumn collection launch later', he explained.

Anika opened her mouth to say something but then shuts it back and smiled.

'You're right! She might have been busy. I should be understanding', she said smilingly. That was an extreme shock for Shivaay.

'She's doing this again??!! Why isn't she talking back or start an argument???!! Isn't she feeling well or what??', he thought to himself.

'Anika, are you alright? I mean do you feel sick or anything?', he asked concernedly.

'I'm absolutely fine Shivaay Sir!', she replied with a cute smile.

That smile of hers made Shivaay's heart skip a beat. She was looking as innocent as a child. It made him to be lost in her for a while. Anika on the other hand, continued working on her finale piece. She realised that Shivaay was still there looking at her and looked up at him with a 'what is it?' kind of look. Shivaay simply shook his head with a smile and asked her out for lunch. She agreed right away as her stomach grumbled when Shivaay spoke about lunch. They were about to walk away when the door of the workplace opened and a woman stepped in. Shivaay recognised her but Anika failed to do so.

'Oh! There you are Shivaay Baby!', she exclaimed and barged straight in hugging Shivaay.

He was shocked but hugged her back and Anika was amused, tensed and od course burning a little amidst all of this.

'I missed you so much Shivaay baby! How are you?', Tia asked after breaking the hug.

'I'm fine Tia. How are you?', he asked keeping himself a little distanced from her.

'I'm good. But you didn't say that you missed me Shivaay baby! Only I missed you! Did you received the reiki's I sent you everyday? Universe would have let you feel it right?', she asked him.

Anika was shell-shocked when she heard the word universe. She immediately turned to glare at Shivaay. He could just gulp his saliva looking at this new avatar of Anika.

'Nothing like that! Shivaay Sir missed you as well! In fact he even told me about Universe yesterday night!', Anika said while still glaring at Shivaay.

'Aww! So sweet of you baby! Okay, have you taken your lunch?', Tia asked.

Shivaay simply shook his head into a 'NO'.

'Perfect! Let's go for lunch together. Come!', she dragged away Shivaay.

'Just a minute Tia, I was supposed to go out with Anika for lunch...', before he could finish his sentence, Tia butt in.

'Do you mind going alone today Anika?', she asked Anika.

Anika puts on a fake smile and said, ' it's okay, you both carry on.. I'll manage!'.

Shivaay was dragged away by Tia but his glance was fixed on Anika. She was faking a smile surpressing all her anger and waving bye to them.

PRECAP: An angry Anika became quiet after Shivaay began approaching her.
