Shivaay and Tia left the workplace. Anika who was all smiling before this threw her handbag on the floor and become super angry. She crashed herself on the chair there.

'What were you thinking Anika???!!! I tell you what? You're the world's most idiotic girl! Jhalli! How could he do that huh? After all that I did for him, he did this to me! I mean I prepared breakfast for him. I didn't argue with him the whole day just because he said don't and what he did in return, he ditched me saying he'll bring me out for lunch. That's the limit! Let him come! I'll see to it today! No matter how worse the raita spreads today, I'll see to it! And that woman!!! What was her name... Tia! Yeah Tia! She was sticking onto him like a chewing gum! Chi! Even if she's his girlfriend or what she should know that I'm here, between them! The way she was calling him... "Shivaay baby"!!! Aarrrgghhh!!!', she surpressed all her anger and started working again. Just then, her stomach rumbles again. She remembered that she's starving. She looks down and pats her tummy saying, 'Sorry! I was about to show the anger I had on that Sadu to you. Let's get something to say now!'.

On the other hand, Shivaay and Tia arrived at a restaurant. They went ahead and ordered their lunch.

'So Tia, what a pleasant surprise! Where's Dushyant by the way?', Shivaay asked.

'Don't talk about Dushyant Shivaay! I'm hell angry with him! He's an idiot you know!', Tia vents out her frustration on Dushyant.

'Okay, I get it. You both had a fight again right? That's why you remembered this elder brother of yours right?', he asked smilingly.

Tia smiled at him sweetly and replied, 'Yes! Now do whatever an elder brother has to do when his little sister is troubled by her husband!'.

'I should tell Dushyant that this is the time to get rid of you and get another girl!', Shivaay said with a chuckle.

'Shivaay!!', Tia hit his arms.

'And yeah, thats not the only reason I came to meet you today. It's raksha bandhan today. Where's my gift?', Tia demands.

'Where's my rakhi?', Shivaay asked while showing his right hand.

'Here it is!', Tia took a rakhi out of her handbag and ties it on Shivaay's wrist.

(swati_611, Teri demand puri hogayi 😉 Imagine whatever BGM you want. But the funniest would be Lafzon ka Yeh Rishta Nahi😂😂😂)

'Now where's my gift Shivaay?', Tia demanded.

'Oh shit! I'm so sorry Tia. I seriously forgot about raksha bandhan. Don't worry, I'll get you a gift tomorrow! Okay? Now finish up your food', Shivaay replied.

'Okay Baby!', Tia replied mischeviously.

'Don't call me that!', Shivaay rebuked angrily.

'Why?? You get angry is it? Shivaay baby! Hahahaha', Tia laughed out loud.

'Please don't!', Shivaay told her again.

'Its good that the Ragini was proved psycho! Otherwise imagine your condition! Hahahaha', Tia started laughing again.

'Okay! Past is in the past okay! She was a huge mistake! I shouldn't have befriended her also', Shivaay regrets.

'Yeah! That's why I call you by that name so that you won't repeat your mistake!', she stated her point.

'Hmmm! By the way, you shouldn't have called me that in front of Anika! I don't know what she would have thought of us', Shivaay shares his thought worriedly and checks his phone.

'She didn't even reply to my message!', he frowned.

Tia noticed something fishy with his reaction.

'Shivaay! You didn't even tell me about it!', she exclaimed happily.

'About what?', he asked innocently.

'About you and Anika being together!!! I must say that you both looked so cute just now!', Tia added.

'Don't be ridiculous Tia! We're not together okay? And there's nothing going on between us. I don't know why you, Om and Dadi are stuck at the same issue. Now no more talks about this! Chapter closed', Shivaay rebuked angrily.

'Say whatever you want to say Shivaay, but for as long as I know you, something is cooking between you both. Whether you agree or disagree, it's a fact you can't deny!', Tia thought to herself.

After the lunch, Shivaay dropped Tia back home and solved her tiny problem with Dushyant, patches them up and goes straight to his office. It was already quite late by them. As soon as he reached the office, he went to the workplace.

In there, Anika was looking for something like a maniac. 'I've got no idea where this pen went! And Shivaay Sir, did he went out just for a lunch or tea time and dinner as well? I think my head is going to explode!'.

'What happened?', Shivaay asked while standing at the door. I heard everything that she was blabbering a while ago.

'Oh! So you finally came! So early? I thought you will come back by lunch tomorrow!', she commented sarcastically.

'Excuse me?', Shivaay asked.

'What excuse me? You always give others lectures on being responsible and all right? Now where's your sense of responsibility, huh? Does anyone simply leaves amidst such a busy schedule for a date and comes back this late?' Anika starts shouting everything that comes to her mind.

'Just a minute! Anika, why are you getting so miffed? And why are you arguing with me for no reason all of the sudden? From morning you didn't argue at all, now all of the sudden for no reason...', as usual, Anika cuts his talk.

'That was because you said that thing yesterday night. The thing about Universe doesn't want us to argue and all. I wanted to give respect to that word of yours. But how would I know that you actually stole that sentence from your girlfriend! I started thinking highly about you! I even made breakfast for you! And what you did in return ( Shivaay was about to say something but Anika stopped him by showing her palms) you ditched me for a lunch plan. Not only that, you're coming back this late and all the work burden was on me. I alone was managing all of this! And to add to this I can't even find the sketching pen! But what do you care about it, you can  just go and enjoy...', she stopped talking as Shivaay was approaching her. She got nervous. The anger in which she was boiling a few moments ago was gone with the breeze that blew on her face when Shivaay was coming close to her.

She stepped back when Shivaay was really close to her. But Shivaay stopped her from going back by holding her waist. She jolted at his mere touch. Her feet was swept from the ground. She was keep on opening and closing her mouth trying to say something but she was unable to utter even a single word.

Shivaay smirked. 'I know what to do to make you stop talking Anika!', he thought to himself. He went even closer, Anika's breathing was becoming uneven and she closed her eyes, being numb. He went ahead and took the pen which she had tucked in behind her ears.

(The best pic I could find)

He placed it on her hand and whispered, 'found your pen!', near her ears.

Shivaay then parts himself and walks away with a victorious smile. He was feeling somewhat happy from the inside. Meanwhile Anika was still in the trance watching him walk away.

'How can he do that!', she said to herself standing there shell-shocked and dumbfounded.

PRECAP: Shivaay gives Anika bangle and ask her to try that on.
