Shivaay left them and saw Mallika, Gauri and Om discussing something important together near the pool area.

'What are guys doing here?', he asked.

'Nothing! Nothing at all!', Gauri spat out.

'You guys were discussing something right??? It seemed so!!', Shivaay added.

'Yeah! Woh... we were discussing about... about last night's cricket match!!! What a great match it was!!!', Mallika exclaimed.

'Exactly!!! Virat Kohli rocked it!!! But I miss M.S.Dhoni!!!', she said sadly.

'And I miss Sachin Tendulkar!!', Om said. The three of them nodded and made a sad face. Shivaay was confused and frustrated at their talks and thinks that they're impossible.

'You guys are impossible!!! I'll go get Khanna!! He's more sensible than you guys!', Shivaay said and walked away.

As soon as Shivaay left, Gauri, Om and Mallika burst out laughing. They gave hi-5 to each other.

'But I feel its not right to not tell Shivaay Sir about Anika's birthday!!', Gauri said.

'Its alright!! Arrey, he has to know her birthday date!!! They're in love after all', Om explained.

'Yes but...', before Gauri could say something, Mallika interrupted her.

'There's no buts and ifs!!! It's done. Meaning it's done. No one will tell about Anika's birthday to Shivaay. We will arrange a surprise party for her and give a shock to Shivaay!!! And with that, he'll never forget her birthday date ever in the future!!! If you tell him, he'll celebrate her birthday this year in a grand manner and forget about it in the upcoming years. Trust me!! My plan is khidkithod!!!', Mallika told her plan.

Gauri agreed reluctantly but Om agreed right away. He even showed thumbs up at Mallika. Just then, Anika and Advaay were talking to each other and reached the pool area. They converted the topic. Advaay announced his desicion to stayback which brought happiness on everyone's face especially Mallika.

'By the way, where's Shivaay Sir???', Anika asked.

'Aww!!! One lost lovebird is looking for its pair!!! How cute!!!', Mallika exclaimed and all began teasing Anika. She blushed a little.

'Oh! Bhabhi!!! You're blushing!!!', Om exclaimed.

'Okay just stop it all of you. One day your turn will come and I'll tease you all until your cheeks turn red like tomato!!! Now Om, tell me where's Shivaay???', she asked.

'He's gone to meet your sautan!!!', Om spit out mindlessly.

'Sautan???!!!', Anika asked surprisingly.

'Offo, Om Sir!!! Ani... Shivaay has gone to meet Khanna. He went this way!', Gauri spoke the truth.

Anika left them and went to look for Shivaay. She was looking around while walking that she didn't realize a person was walking infront of her and walked into him. Their heads bumped and when Anika was about to fall, he caught her by her waist. It was Shivaay of course.

They got lost into each other's eyes for a while. Shivaay then brought his another hand to her waist and made her stand properly. As soon as they stood, Anika muttered 'Prince Charming!' under her breath. Shivaay smiled when he heard that and tucked the hair strand which was on her face behind her ears properly. He then went closer to her ears and whispered 'At your service, Princess!'.

Anika couldn't help but to blush and pushed him away slightly. He fell back with a jerk on the ground.

'Ouch!!!', he winced out in pain.

Anika had placed both her hands on her widely opened mouth due to shock. Then, just in a while she began laughing. Shivaay got angry.

'You are laughing instead of helping me???', he asked.

'Then what?? I just pushed you lightly and you fell on the ground!!! And the way you fell was super hillarious... hahaha!!!', she went on laughing.

'Yeah right!!!', Shivaay muttered.

After done laughing, she gave her hand to him so that he could get up. He grabbed her hand and pulled her for a fall instead of getting up. She felt next to him. He just smirked at her while she glared him. And then, at the corner, she noticed the elderly man who had brought Romi earlier.

'Shivaay Sir look there!!! Isn't that the same man???', she asked.

'Yeah!!! Let's go and talk to him!!', he said and got up right away. Anika was having problem to get up as she was waering a pencil skirt. Shivaay lifted her and made her stand properly.

'Shall we???', he asked while forwading his right hand towards her. She took his hand and both went up to the elderly man.

'Namaste Uncle!', Anika greeted him.

'Namaste Beta! Who are you both and how can I help you???', he replied very politely.

'Uncle, woh actually... just now you brought a girl away right??? What's her name... Robbie..', Anika was interrupted.

'Romi!! Not Robbie!!!', Shivaay corrected her. That correction earned a deathly glare from Anika to which Shivaay looked away to the Uncle.

'Yes Romi! My granddaughter. Whats wrong with her???', he asked.

'Actually Uncle Ji, just a little while ago, she was claiming to be my girlfriend. And when I denied, she cried and left. Why did she did that??? I'm just curious!!', Shivaay asked.

'Oh!!! You have to ask her only. I'll bring you both to her!!!', the elderly man said and pulled Shivaay to walk away.

'No!!! I mean... she would... I won't feel good to make her cry again!', Shivaay exclaimed.

'She won't! Trust me!!! Come along you both!', the elderly man said after laughing out loud. Shivika followed him with no other choice left. He brought them into a house right next to the hotel. As soon as they enter, that elderly man made Shivika sit on the sofa and called Romi out. Romi came very calmly and hugged her granddad and her gaze then fell on Shivika who were a bit nervous upon seeing her.

'Don't get scared or nervous. I won't bite you both or what. Just relax!', she spoke in a very chilled out manner surprising Shivika. Romi noticed the look on their face and understood what made them go like that.

'I know you both must be thinking is this girl mad or what??? Just a little while ago, she was claiming that she's your girlfriend and now she's behaving absolutely normal!!! (SHIVIKA nodded in embezzlement) ok, first of all, I'm really very sorry to be doing that!!! But what to do, it's a habit I developed since childhood. I saw you both from the first day you guys were here. I'm one of the staffs in the hotel. And my God!!! You guys were fighting so passionately with each other!!! Anyone could say you were in love, but too bad, you guys didn't realize it at all. I saw her with another guy, and you were burning jealously! In fact, you had destroyed the flowers we had kept on the corridor out of jealousy!!! ( Anika looked at Shivaay with that 'really?' look and he just turned away) So I thought that's it Romi Devi!!! Now is your time to do a special entry and set them on track. And see its done!!!', she exclaimed proudly.

Shivika smiled at each other as soon as she finished her long explanation.

'But what was the need for you to do that???', Anika asked.

Romi got a little sad again but she held up the tears in her eyes and have her brightest smile.

'My parents loved each other a lot. But they never expressed it. They fight more! One day, their fight escalated and they wanted a divorce from each other. After the divorce was finalized, Dad become drunk and died in an accident. Whereas Mom, she lost her sanity after hearing that news. In a few months, she also died falling off from the cliff. And I saw all the strugles they had just because they didn't express their love when they should have! I couldn't do anything for them, but I certainly can do miracles to others, right??? So whomever I feel like are genuinely in love with each other, I help them!!! And when they're united, I feel like I could see my parents happy face. That's all! I'm sorry if I had done anything wrong!!!', she said it all and apologized.

Shivika felt bad for her. Anika went up to get and hugged her tightly. She wiped her tears off.

'Thank you!', Anika whipered to her.

Romi just nodded her head. Shivaay also thanked her. They then left Romi's house with a new perpective and lesson about love. If you love someone, express it before its too late. If they're yours already, still express it. Don't take someone for granted. The day that person thinks they can't do it anymore, it will break you into pieces. And by the time you realize, it might be too late already.
