Shivaay and Anika were surprised to find the Paris team there all of the sudden. The Paris team were also equally shocked to see them in such a condition.

'Hi guys!', Anika exclaimed.

'Hi! What a surprise!', Shivaay exclaimed among with Anika.

'You are giving us a surprise actually!', Mallika said out.

'Exactly!', Om also agreed. Gauri nods her head in agreement while Tia just smiled.

'We gave you guys surprise?', Shivaay and Anika said in unison while looking at each other and the team.

'Yeah! Why did you throw water on Shivaay??', Om asked casually.

' It's because...', before Anika could spit it, Shivaay interrupted.

'By mistake! I was thirsty, I asked for water and while giving, she accidentally poured it on me!', Shivaay lied to escape from embarrassment.

'Really Shivaay? Do you really think we would buy that?', Mallika asked being sarcastic.

'It's a matter of fact! If you guys don't believe it then, it's not my problem!', saying this in a full SSO wali tadi style, he walked away from the place.

Then, all the eyes fell on Anika. Anika was in trouble. It's either she tells the truth and faces the consequences from her Sadu or she lies and face the consequences from the four people there. They smile at Anika with the 'explain now' kind of look. Meanwhile, Anika smiled back with a 'I'm caught' kind of look.

'Gauri!!! I missed you so much!!!', she ran and hugged Gauri. 'You know what? I have so much to tell you!!! Let's go!', she tried to pull Gauri away and escape at once. But Gauri oversmarted her and held her back.

'Anika... even I missed you so much... and there's a lot I want to hear from you but for now, I... sorry... we would want to hear about the water story!', Gauri exclaimed.

'Phail gaya raita! That Sadu escaped after lying and I'm caught here! What am I supposed to do now???', Anika thought to herself.

Just then, Chanda entered and called Anika saying Shivaay was looking for her. Anika thanked her Sadu mentally and left immediately.

After Chanda left, all of them glared at Chanda. She got nervous and asked ,'why are you all looking at me like this?'.

'She was about to tell something and you came in and let her escape!', Om complained.

'Ouch! Sorry!', Chanda apologised and left.

'Nothing can be done now! These two are still there where we left them. The day we left, she threw water on him even today she threw water on him. Story didn't progress at all! Your plan flopped terribly O!', Mallika hissed at Om.

'Exactly! That was a stupid plan. Making Anika think I was his girlfriend when I'm like his sister!', Tia supported Mallika.

'It wasn't that bad! His idea was fine but the only thing is that his executer choice was wrong', Gauri supports Om.

'Thank you, Gauri! At least you could see my brilliance!', Om thanked her.

'Oye! Don't support your boss this much! His idea was a flop!', Mallika rebuked.

'Accha! How can you just simply jump into a conclusion like this without even knowing the effect of his plan?', Gauri again sides Om.

'What are you trying to say?', Mallika asked.

'Do you know that Anika was very much disturbed until she got to know that Tia is Shivaay Sir's sister? She even called up to me and cried. So it's confirm na, these two do have something cooking in between them. At least from Anika's side, it's a positive answer. But as far as I know her she won't admit it that easily', Gauri speaks her thought.

'It's the same with Shivaay also!', Om said.

'And that's exactly why we have to butt in to escalate their story. If we wait for their story to develop on its own then these two will only be together after 10 years!', Mallika sighed.

'So we're all together in this mission right?', Om confirmed.

'Of course!', Tia confirmed.

'Definitely!', Mallika agreed as well.

'So mission Shivika all set to launch?', Gauri asked putting her hand forward.

'Shivika???!!!', all three asked in unison.

'Yeah Shivika! Shiv from Shivaay and ika from Anika... bangayi couple name Shivika!', Gauri exclaimed excitedly.

'Smart!', Mallika expressed.

Om smiled and gave the 'I told you so' look to the two ladies.

'So mission Shivika... LAUNCHED!!!!', all said unison.

PRECAP: Anika asking help from Mallika.
