As soon as they seal the Pinky promise, they heard a rumbling sound. Anika lowered her head after widening her eyes.

'It was my tummy!', she uttered and chuckled.

'Okay! Let's get something to eat!', he spit out after letting out a chuckle.

They went into the cafe in the hotel and settled down at a couples table. After ordering the food, Shivaay had a better look on Anika.

'Are you checking me out?', she asked him with a wink.

'I think you should check yourself out!', he replied plainly.

'What do you mean?', she asked a bit tensed.

He took out his phone out and captured her picture and showed it to her.

'Oh no!!! Kitni buri lagrahi hun main!! (I'm looking so horrible). Like a ghost!!! And you said nothing!!!', she took wet tissue from her clutch purse and began wiping off the make-up.

Shivaay on the other hand burst out laughing. Anika got stunned to look at him laughing out loud like that for the very first time. Then, she remembered the condition of her make-up. Her eyeliner were dripping on her cheeks and has become her second blusher. By the time she wiped it all of, Shivaay has stopped laughing.

'You find it very funny right??? All this is because of you!!!', she blamed him.

'What did I do but then???', he asked confusedly.

'You only arranged for the grooming session right??? If you hadn't done that, all of this wouldn't happen!', she vented out.

'Yeah, I unnecessarily wasted my money on you!', he spit out mindlessly.

Anika's jaw dropped.

'It's hardly been 1/2 an hour you told that 'together' thing and you're saying this now!!! Unnecessarily spent on me!!! People out there are even ready to die for their someone and you're regretting about spending down money on me!! Wah!!! Wah Mr.Shivaay Singh Oberoi!!! Great!!', she commented angrily.

'I didn't mean to say that! It was just a slip of the tongue!!! Why are you keep on getting miffed over small issues???', he asked her back.

'Is that a small issue??? You yourself did something for me without me asking and then you taunt in front of me about it being unnecessary!!! And, you're saying that I'm getting miffed over small issues', she rebuked.

Just then, the waiter comes and places the food. Anika was so angry and annoyed with him that as soon as her eyes fell on the glass of water, she picked it up right away and splashes it on his face.

'Fhat the wuck??? Anika!!!', he exclaimed disbelievingly.

'You deserve it!', she sternly commented, puts the glass away and focused on the food.

'Great! Did you realize that you had just thrown water on me on our first date??? That girl ruined it upstairs and now you ruined it down here!!! I guess it's just a bad day for me today!!', he laments at his situation.

Just then, he realized that Anika was totally lost in the food that whatever he said didn't get registered on her head. He chuckled at the fondness she has for food and thinks what a foodie she is. He was also about to dig into his food when he heard a voice.

'Baby!!! How did you get drenched??? Let me dry you up!!!', said Romi and went upto Shivaay. She wiped his face and starts drying his hair with her stole. Anika dropped her spoon at this scenery. She got up right away and pulled Romi.

'Hey!!! Who are you calling Baby???', she rebuked angrily.

'I'm calling him baby. He's my baby! Right Shivu???', she asked him innocently.

'Shivu??!!!!', Anika exclaimed and turned to look at Shivaay who was shaking his head into huge no.

'Look Miss Romi, you're having a misundertanding. I'm not your baby or your Shivu, okay???', Shivaay told her.

As soon as she heard that, she began to cry and run away from there. Shivaay and Anika looked at each other confusedly and followed her. Romi went upto the lobby and began crying her heart out. Shivaay and Anika on the other hand, were peeking her from the corner.

'Who is she???', Shivaay whispered.

'How would I know??? She's your girlfriend not mine!!!', Anika sarcastically commented.

'Very funny!', he stated and they both looked at her again.

Romi was still crying when an elderly man came and brought her along with him.

'He's the key to our questions!', Shivika said in unison. Just then, they realized the proximity they were sharing. Both blushed looking at each other. They were lost in each other's eyes.

Just then, a hand tapped Shivaay's shoulder. Both gained conscious and straightened themselves. The hand was Advaay's.

'Oh there you are Anu darling! I've been looking for you everywhere!!', saying this, Advaay went ahead to hug her but Shivaay pulled her behind him and faced Advaay. Anika on the other hand was enjoying this and laughing.

'Stop acting! I know everything already! You can stop this nonsense if you want to save yourself from my deadly punch!', he warned Advaay.

'Chill Shivaay!!! I know that you know everything!!! I was just messing around with you!!!', he claimed.

'Why?? You didn't get anyone else to mess with is it???', Shivaay asked him back sarcastically.

'There are plenty more, but your jalkukda version is the best!!! Gauri even made a slogan for you!! "Zor se bolo jealous SSO rocks!!!"', he burst out laughing after saying that. Anika also joined him while Shivaay was getting pissed off.

'Anyways!!! Congratulations you both!!! See you guys in Mumbai later!!', Advaay wished and was about to go when Anika stopped him.

'Advaay, stay back for a little longer, please!!!', she asked.

'He's a busy businessman, he should go. Goodbye Advaay, see you in Mumbai later!!', Shivaay tries to shoo him off.

'Shivaay Sir!! That's so mean of you!!!', Anika commented.

'Very mean!!!', Advaay said and held his heart. (Dramebaazi)

'Nautanki inki! (Look at his drama!)', Shivaay thought to himself and left.

'Don't feel bad because of him. Stayback for me. At least until my birthday!!! Please!! Please say yes!!! Mallika will be happy if you stay back!!!', Anika pleaded.

'Alright! I'll stayback!!! Happy now???', he asked her.

Anika side-hugged him and uttered, 'really happy! Thank you!!'.

'Anytime!', Advaay replied with a wink.
