Whoa! It feels great to be back! I've got idea about you guys... but I missed you all a lot. I missed reading comments from you guys. Let me clear a few things here before proceeding. So I've settled properly in my house already and yes the classes have started as well. I'll be really very busy. Hence, everyday updates will be impossible. Will update whenever possible and yes... target will be given. Next update only when target is reached. And yes... this one is for you ImLilMissComplicated! Hopefully your mood gets better.

Shivaay and Anika sat on the opposite sides of the bed. Mallika and Gauri began laughing their heart out. The source of the voice was Mallika. Shivaay pretended to have a call and was about to ditch Anika again when Anika snatched his phone.

'No phone calls! Who are you going to talk to?', she asked while placing her hands on her hips. Mallika and Gauri just enjoyed the sight.

'I need to make a call...', he tried to dudge the topic.

'Oh! You can do whatever you want and if we're caught you'll just ditch me right?', she asked angrily.

'No... it's not like that...', Shivaay tried defending himself.

'No... it is like that! You know what??? Get out!!! Go away from my room. You're hopeless!!! I know... you ditched me twice today... Sadu!!!', shouting all of this, she pushed all three of them outside her room and locked the door.

There of them knocked on the door calling out her name. Mostly Shivaay of course. But it was of vain. She didn't budge. She didn't even respond to their calls.

'This is all because of you both!!!', he blamed them intuitively and left to his room and banged the door.

'Strange guy!', Mallika exclaimed.

'Just like her! Let's go now! Looks like girls night out is only for us now!', Gauri pulled Mallika along with her.

The next morning, Om and Advaay were very much excited compared to the rest. As soon as everyone reached the breakfast table, Om clinged his glass and says that he has an announcement to be made. Everyone looked up at Om excitedly.

'So guys! We're all going to go for a vacation!!!', he announced enthusiastically. He made the others confused and Advaay to facepalm himself.

'But we're already in a vacation right?', Anika asked confusedly.

'Exactly, now how are we going to go for a vacation?', Mallika questioned.

'Vacation in a vacation???', Shivaay asked.

'That's so strange!', Gauri commented.

'Okay guys, chill! What Om is trying to say is that we'll be leaving this hotel and go to a private island; which we have already rented out for the next three days and spend the rest of our holidays there. A proper vacation you see!', Advaay explained.

'Ooohhh!', all said in unison.

'When are we leaving?', Shivaay asked.

'Right now after breakfast should be fine!', Advaay said after looking at his watch.

'Alright!!! Let's go for a proper vacation then!!!', Om shouted out enthusiastically like a child making the others to laugh at his childishness.

After breakfast, they packed all their stuffs and checked out from their hotel. They had to travel in a jeep from the hotel to a jetty and board a ferry to the private island. Throughout the way there, Anika had avoided Shivaay completely as she was upset regarding last night. But nevertheless, Shivaay didn't give up. He lifted her luggages into the ferry. He even lifted her into the ferry. Still she didn't say anything to him. But Shivaay isn't someone who can give up so easily.

He went out of the ferry found Om enjoying the fresh breeze blowing because of the movement of the ferry.

'Enjoying Om?', Shivaay asked him while tapping his shoulder.

'Yes! It's a well deserved holiday afterall. And its Bhabhi's birthday as well!! It's going to be a blast!!!', Om spit everything out mindlessly.

'Bhabhi's birthday??? Which... who Bhabhi???', Shivaay asked.

'What Bhabhi??? Nothing... I didn't say anything regarding Bhabhi!!!', Om diverted Shivaay's thoughts.

'Om!!!', Shivaay called his name out while giving out 'you better tell now' looks.

'Okay, fine!!! It's Anika Bhabhi's birthday tomorrow. This whole island trip is for her actually. Mallika and Gauri planned everything', Om spilt the beans.

'And why didn't you guys inform me earlier???', he asked while giving a stern look.

'Mallika forbidden us to do so!!! She said you're supposed to know her birthday date on your own!!', Om revealed every single thing to his brother.

'Okay!!! Fine. So what's the plan for now???', Shivaay asked.

'That!!! I don't know!!! Mallika was about to tell me but Gauri stopped in between. Somewhat she thought I can't keep secret', Om still mindlessly spit out everything to the person he was forbiden to.

'She was right!', Shivaay thought to himself and went it. He sat next to Anika without leaving any gap between them. She distanced herself. Shivaay went closer again. Anika again distanced herself. Shivaay went closer and stopped her from going further.

'Sorry for yesterday. Will never do it again!!! Pinky promise!', he uttered while pointing his Pinky finger out. She turned to look at him trying to make a puppy face which wasn't at all suiting him. It tickled her heart and she chuckled a little. She then seals the Pinky promise and sat closer to him until there is no gap. He got happy and placed his arms around her shoulder. They began enjoying the view together while talking about the beauty of it.

They reached the private island at last. The guys unloaded the things and luggages while the girls escaped to explore the chalet they'll be living in and the surrounding area. The guys placed all the luggages inside the respective chalets. Everyone had one chalet each for themselves.

After settling down, everyone gathered at the centre where there was a huge picnic table on the side and a bonfire in the middle.

'Okay, so now that we're here, what are we going to do?', Advaay asked the girls.

'Let's have a little picnic first. Then we'll be having dinner by that Gazebo over there! We will prepare the food together for dinner. Then, we'll call it a day! Since tomorrow is the day we'll be extremely busy!', Gauri explained the plan for today. All nodded to her plan while another soul was making some other plans for the night.

'Let's freshen up before the picnic. I feel like I stink like a skunk', Om uttered.

'Yes! I need a shower terribly as well!!!', Mallika supported them.

'Let's get going then! Otherwise we'll be late for the picnic!', Anika exclaimed and moved in to her chalet. The others to went in.

After a few minutes, all three guys were already outside in their casuals but the girls weren't there yet. ( we're girls, we tend to take longer time na.. ;) ).

'Shivaay! Let's arrange the picnic table first. I think these girls will take longer time', Advaay suggested.

Hence, those three pity boys arranged the picnic table. Everything was set, yet they find it incomplete.

'Something is missing right?', Shivaay asked.

The other nodded while looking at the table. Then there of them realized it together.

'Flowers!!!', they shouted in unison.

They went to one corner each and picked some pretty flowers growing there. All here came to the table with three different flowers.

'Which one to put???', Om asked in confusion.

'Let's just put all three!', Advaay suggested. They were about to put the flowers into the vase-like wood they had there when the doors of the girls' chalet was opened. The boys were stunned to see each of their lady-love to slay so flawlessly in the dress they were wearing. (Exclude the flower crown for now).

Each of them went upto their respective lady and gave the flowers to them and took them hand-in-hand to the picnic table.
