Phew... I just can't believe this!!! I mean like Chapter 50??!!! Never thought that what I started off very playfully and selfishly just to keep the writer in me calm would reach here. Thank you all for your love and support throughout this wonderful journey. I really wouldn't have been able to make it here without you guys. I don't know what this book has given you guys, but this book has given a lot to me. And the most precious one is the friends I got to make! Ain't gonna mention your names one by one... saving that for finale of this book. Sorry that you guys have to tolerate too much of my bak bak today. It's just that I'm super excited!!! Alright! Its all done now... let's get into the chapter. Oh and yeah, Happy Reading!😊

Shivaay left Anika alone and walked to his cabin. Just then, he got a call from Om.

'Hey Om, how's everything there in Paris?', he asked very casually.

'Everything here is fine but how about there?', Om questioned Shivaay back.

'Everything here is good as well!', Shivaay replied calmly.

'If everything there is good, then what's the need for Anika to call up Gauri and cry? Huh? You must have said or done something to her Shivaay! Why are you like this? That girl does no harm to you right? Then why are you keep on hurting her?', Om started giving lecture to Shivaay quite angrily.

'Om! I did nothing to her. Nor did I say anything. She was perfectly fine until yesterday. This morning her entire behaviour has changed. In fact, she was insisting on moving out from my house back to her cluttered house. I managed to make her stay by saying that her house needs renovation. And we'll be meeting a renovator later this evening. She was fine Om! Absolutely fine. Then I don't know why she became like this all of the sudden. I need to find out Om. I have to find it out!', Shivaay stressed the last two sentences.

'Okay then Shivaay. Good luck in that and I'm sorry for the lecture just now. It's just that Gauri was crying badly and I couldn't stand it', Om confessed.

'Even I can't stand Anika crying Om!', Shivaay spit out.

The two brothers bid goodbye and Shivaay decided to focus on what's bothering Anika. He went into the workplace again. Anika was focussed on her work. She had stopped crying. She was engrossed in her work. Shivaay just stood still by the door and watched her work.

He then left the workplace for a while and came back with some lunch in his hand.

'Anika! It's time for lunch. Let's sat together. I've already bought for you as well', he invited her.

'Shivaay Sir, you eat up first. I'll eat later. I'm not hungry now', she refused politely and went back to her work.

Shivaay being Shivaay went upto her, snatched the files from her and puts them away.

'I said let's eat together means let's eat together!', he stated.

'And I said that I'm not hungry means I'm not hungry!', she replied with equal stress on the sentence.

'That's the limit Anika! Why are you behaving like this? And top of it, why are you crying like this? You called up Gauri and made her cry as well! I know very well that this can't be any mood swing. What problem are you having? Huh? Share it with me! I can help you! Instead of crying like this! At least the problem would be away. You'll feel better. Say something, damn it!', Shivaay shouted out at her and she was crying the entire time.

Shivaay was unable to watch her crying anymore, kneeled infront of her and took her face in his hands. He cupped her face and wiped away all the tears falling down her cheeks.

'Why are you being so stubborn Anika? Just say it. You know that I'm with you right? What's troubling you?', he asked very lovingly.

She lifts her gaze which was on the floor all this while and settles it into his eyes. His deep blue-green orbs were also filled up with tears. He wasn't crying but he was teary eyed.

'I don't know Shivaay Sir! I don't know what's troubling me. It's just that I'm feeling very down and upset. I feel like I can't take this anymore! (I can't bear to see you with Tia... I don't know why!)', she bare out everything except the last sentence in bracket and she started to cry again. While crying, she falls on Shivaay's chest. Shivaay just held her and brushed her hair to calm her down.

'Its okay! It's okay! Everything would be fine', he tries to sooth her down and breaks the hug. He then cupped her face and placed a kiss on her forehead.

'Everything will be fine! You'll feel better! Now let's stop this work here and finish this lunch first, okay? You need strength to overcome this weakness! And as far as I know you aren't a weak girl right??', he said with a wink. Anika smiled, nodded a yes and wiped off all the tears.

They both had a very silent and quiet lunch. But, there were lots of talks they had within themselves.

'Stop this Anika! Stop behaving like an idiot and bother everyone else with your stupid thoughts. You made Gauri and Shivaay Sir very much upset today. And what's wrong if Shivaay Sir spent a few quality moments with his girlfriend? What difference does it make to you? Tujhe koi farak nahi padta hai! Okay? It means nothing to you! Now shrug this whole ablanari (pity woman) drama and get back to being yourself before its too late, okay?', she self-affirmed herself.

'Do something Shivaay! I have to do something. Else this girl will spend the whole day crying over an issue which she herself doesn't know! I need to make her distracted. But how?... Hmmm... that's one of the best things to do. Let us finish lunch first. Then I'll bring her away from here', Shivaay on the other hand was trying to bring the normal Anika back.

After finishing the lunch, Shivaay brought Anika to his home. He didn't allow her to ask anything. As soon as they reached his home, he gave her a paperbag and asked her to change her dress. Anika was quite baffled at first but nevertheless, she complied his instructions. She went into her room and opened it. Her jaw dropped looking at the outfit Shivaay has asked her to change.

'Has Shivaay Sir loose it or what?', she exclaimed loudly.

Shivaay who heard that, smiled to himself thinking Anika is coming back to normal. His plan is successful.

PRECAP: Shivaay asks Anika to do something and she refuses and he kept on forcing her.
