Gauri and Mallika noticed what Shivaay did and signalled each other. Om was also quite surprised to find this side of his brother being revealed to someone else apart from him and Dadi. Gauri snapped a picture of Shivika holding hands and being lost in each other's eyes.

'Aww! They look so cute!', she exclaimed and showed the picture to Mallika. Om from the other side was also curious to look at the picture but he was totally ignored by the girls.

'Great! I feel like I've come for a vacation alone. Brother has already left me. Now I'm being ignored by these girls! I can see how the vacation is going to be', he thought to himself.

The pilot then announces that the flight has been take-off and their seat-belts can be unbuckled. Just then, the air hostess comes in to serve them some refreshments. Shivika were still lost in each others eyes. Om immediately got up realizing that and went ahead to pat on Shivaay's shoulder.

'Shivaay! What are you doing here?', Om asked quite annoyedly.

'I... woh... main... I was just here... because Anika is afraid during take-off. I was worried if she gets sick or something', Shivaay stammered.

'Take-off hogaya! (The flight has already take-off) Now would you please come back to your seat!', Om requested.

'Yeah! Okay!', Shivaay said and got up right away. He then was taken aback a little as he was still holding Anika's hand. They both looked at their hand lock and then their face.

'Pehle hath tho chod uski! (Let her hand go first!)', Om sarcastically spit out.

Shivaay and Anika immediately refrain their hands from each other. Mallika and Gauri just giggled at the scenario. Shivaay then went to the place he was sitting initially with Om.

'Shivaay, isn't Advay also coming to Goa? He's our partner in this launch right?', Om asked Shivaay. Upon hearing the name Advay, Shivaay got a little furious.

'How would I know? Huh? He would have organized his own transport. I can only provide transport for my employees. Not for some random business partner', Shivaay angrily retaliated and went on to do some work on his laptop. Om just smirked looking at jealous brother. The girls on the other hand were planning on where they should go during their free time for food hunting and shopping.

Then, the flight lands in Goa Airport. Anika and Gauri were too enthusiastic as its their first time to Goa. Shivaay, Om and Mallika could just adore the cuteness of these two besties being excited.

'Yaaay!!! We've finally reached Goa!!!', Anika exclaimed as soon as they went out of the airport. She did the exact same thing when she had arrived in Dehradun. Om and Mallika were shocked to see behaving this carefreely in the public, but Shivaay and Gauri they just shook their head thinking 'Nothing can be done with this girl'.

Om and Mallika turned to look at Shivaay. They knew that Shivaay will not be able to tolerate this kind of embarassing behaviour. They were in fact afraid for Anika thinking of Shivaay's reaction, but to their surprise, Shivaay was absolutely normal. Their jaw dropped.

'What???!!!', Shivaay asked casually while lifting his hand and shoulders.

'Aren't you getting angry?', Mallika asked in a very timid voice.

'No! Why should I?', Shivaay asked her back all cool and calm.

'Because of the way Anika is behaving', Om answered.

'Aaah... that one... I'm used to it. She is like that. Let her do whatever she wants! I'll call up Khanna in the meantime', Shivaay took his phone out and left.

Om and Mallika couldn't believe their eyes. It was indeed a huge blow on them to see Shivaay in such a calm and composed avatar.

'You will also get used to Anika's habit if you travel often with her. Shivaay Sir has been used to it', Gauri stated plainly.

Om and Mallika just nodded their head. Just then, Shivaay joined them and informed that their car is on its way and that Khanna and Ms.Chanda will be waiting for them in the hotel.

'I'll go and get Anika!', Gauri was about to go when Shivaay stopped her saying he'll bring her.

'Done inhaling the beach air of Goa?', he asked to her. She was still on top of bench, hands wide apart, inhaling the air slowly and eyes closed.

'Yeap... done!', she exclaimed excitedly and jumped down of the bench. Shivaay was about to talk but Anika cut in between.

'We just arrived. Don't taunt me and begin an argument. I'm too tired to be arguing with you!', she slammed her words.

'Wait! When did I say I wanted to start an argument or taunt you? You just assumed something without knowing what I was about to say!', Shivaay rebuked.

'For what else would you want to talk to me? You either taunt me or you get hell-bent in proving me wrong. That's all!', Anika told him sarcastically.

'You know what? There's no point talking to you! I just wanted to say that our car will be here anytime and I wanted you to knew it and stick with us. That's all! But you, without listening to what I'm about to say went on taunting me!', Shivaay angrily retaliated.

'How does this feel Mr.Shivaay Singh Oberoi?', Anika asked him.

'How does what feels?', he asked back being unable to understand.

'Your medicine! This is what you always do! I just let you have a taste of your own medicine. It's very bitter right? So next time, before jumping into any conclusion, hear out the person in front of you!', she explained by shouting all of it on his face. Then, she walked away with full-on tadi and style.

Shivaay stood there dumbfounded for a while. Just then, their car arrives and they went to the hotel. Shivaay and Anika had to get in the same car as Gauri, Om and Mallika had got into the first car (their plan of course). Reluctantly both got into the same car.

As soon as Shivika reached the hotel, they were very warmly greeted by the hotel staffs. Team Shivika had arrived earlier compared to them and were waiting in the lobby which was visible from the drop-off point. They staffs put flower garland for Shivika and adorned Anika's head with a flower crown. She was quite delighted at their welcome. The staffs even did their tilak much to Shivika's surprise. Then, the manager came forward.

'Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Oberoi! (Shivaay and Anika looked at each other awkwardly hearing the sentence). Thank you for choosing our hotel for your honeymoon. We have some special services for your  honeymoon booking...' the manager went on while Shivika were extremely awkward.

'Okay, just stop it! I'm... I mean we're not married and we're certainly not here for honeymoon!', Shivaay shouted out being unable to withstand the awkwardness and uncomfortableness. Anika just nodded in agreement.

'Aren't you Mr. Oberoi?', the manager asked.

'I am Mr.Oberoi but...', Shivaay couldn't explain further.

'If you're Mr.Oberoi, then this entire booking was done by you only!', the manager exclaimed. Anika gave a sharp look to Shivaay. She remembered the time when he books a table for them in Dehradun and the person there mistook it for a date. She was quite sure that he had messed up this kind of raita this time around as well. Shivaay got aliitle nervous and afraid with the look she gave him. He immediately understood and shook his head vigorously indictating a NO.

'I can understand, you're newly weds, there might be some problems between you both, but that doesn't mean that you will decline your marriage right? Now, take your bride in your arms and our staff will lead you the way!', the manager went on.

'Mr. Manager, we really are not married! This is my boss Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi and I'm his intern. We're here for a professional business trip', Anika explained with a smile.

'Oh! I'm so sorry! I thought you were married since you both are wearing matching clothes and all. I mistook you both for another customer whose name is Oberoi as well. I'm extremely sorry', the manager apologised.

Shivika said it's fine and went in to the lobby to join the others who were laughing and giggling at Shivika's plight a little while ago.

PRECAP: Anika realizes and admits her feelings for Shivaay to Gauri.
