You guys haven't reached the target yet, but still I'm updating this part as I'm really very sweet. Hahaha! Just kidding. Anyways, I know I am talking a lot these days, so let's jump to update before you guys bash me.

All the three guys brought their lady love to the picnic table and settled opposite them. They began to have their light snack while talking about the place. It was nearby the beach and the fresh breeze was making the windchimes attached to the trees nearby to dingle every few seconds. It was very much magical just like a fairy tale to everyone, especially Anika.

'I seriously love this place!!! I think I can even stay here forever!!!', Anika exclaimed.

'Is it better than Mussorie???', Shivaay asked her.

'Nothing can be better than my Mussorie but this place is exceptionally khidkithod!!! By the way, you just made an unfair comparison! You see there's no beach in Dehradun or Mussorie, so how can this be a fair comparison? Huh?', she asked him back.

'Well, okay! Unfair comparison! Agreed!!!', Shivaay agreed right away; giving up before an argument as he realizes that if he say anything else apart from that, then she'll start her facts train.

Just then, Advaay made a flower crown from the flowers he picked earlier and made Mallika wore it.

'This one's for you!', he said while adorning her hair with the crown.

This made Gauri and Anika to look at their respective O'bro. Om hand-signalled Gauri asking if she wants one to. Gauri nods and Om started right away. Shivaay just ignored it and places his gaze on Anika's pretty face. She was staring at him.

'What???', he asked her mindlessly.

'Don't you think you should be doing something???', she asked upsetly.

'What should I be doing???', he asked again being a dim-wit.

Anika pointed towards Om who was struggling a little to make the flower crown and Shivaay turned to look at her surprisedly.

'Should I also do that?', he asked astonished.

'No! Your Grandfather should do it!', Anika replied sarcastically and turned her face around.

'Anika, I won't be able to do that! Om  and Advaay are artists, I'm businessman. I won't do thing I can't do. Okay!', he told her firmly.

'You can at least try right???', she asked full of hopes.

'I'll destroy every piece of flower here. It's impossible!', he commented.

'So finally the Tadibaaz Akkad Billu is admitting that there's something impossible for him?', she asked smilingly with a raised eyebrow.

'Can you not announce it publicly. My image is getting tarnished over here', Shivaay protested.

Anika gave him an annoyed look and turned away.

'He can't do a single thing properly! Not a single thing! But he'll be singing praises of himself! I can do this!! I can do that!!! Shivaay Singh Oberoi can do anything!!! Nothing's impossible for me!!! Heh... all are just talks. Tadi only!!!', she cursed him mentally while murdering the flowers given by him to her.

'What are you doing Anika?', he asked her while taking those flowers away from her.

'Doing what you had done! Murdering the flowers just like the way you had murdered my wish!', she spat that on his face.

'Can we not get started in a vacation please. I told you right!!! It's impossible. I don't have an artist's finger! You ask for anything else na, I'll give it to you... but not this. I can buy you a diamond tiara once we get back to Mumbai, alright. This chapter is closed. No more talks on this', he rebuked.

'I don't want any diamond tiara. And yes, this chapter is closed!', Anika commented snidely. 'So is your expectations Anika! Closed!', she added under her breath but somehow Shivaay heard that. He walked away from the picnic table towards the beach and roamed around there.

Advilika and Rikara were so engrossed talking to each other that they didn't realize this tiny piece of Shivika argument until Shivaay walked away.

'What happened?', Gauri asked a tensed Anika.

'Nothing! He needs fresh air. Just continue with the picnic. I'll get back to my chalet. I'm having a little headache. I'll go rest for a bit!', she excused herself from the table as well towards her chalet.

'Yaar!!! When would these two be like normal couples???', Advaay vented out in frustration.

'This is their normalness Advaay. Chill bro and let's get used to this!!!', Om replied calmly.

'And just wait and watch, by nightfall, these two will be romancing again!', Gauri added.

'Exactly!', Mallika too agreed.

It was getting dark when Anika finally came out of her chalet. She saw the lights being on in the Gazebo which Gauri pointed earlier for their dinner and went there. She found Advilika and Rikara cooking together.

'Hhhhmmm.... the smell is amazing guys!!!', Anika complimented their cooking.

'Thank you! It's Shivaay's recipe by the way!', Om told her while cooking.

'Ohw!! Okay. But where is he???', she asked concernedly.

All looked at each other and shook their head.

'Hmmm... let him be. Let's not spoil our mood and holiday thinking about him. Let him go and get rid of all his anger. I mean there's a limit yaar. He just gets angry for no reason at all. Sometimes he becomes Saathu Singh Oberoi and sometimes, Sadu Singh Oberoi. He should have come with an user manual you know!', Anika vents her frustration out. She was really possed off with Shivaay's behaviour a little ago.

They then had dinner together and all of them left to their respective chalet. It was quite late by the time they went back in their chalet but still there was no sign of Shivaay. It was as if he didn't follow them for the vacation. Anika realized the time only after entering her chalet. It was around 10 something at that time. She shrugged her worries off and took a book she's been wanting to read. Time passes by yet, there was no sign of Shivaay. Anika began to worry for him.

'It's nearly 12 and Shivaay Sir is still not back. Did he lost his way back or what??? I think I should inform either Om or Advaay about it. They'll find him and bring him back. Pity Shivaay Sir. He must be like a small child lost in the supermarket. Alone, helpless and hungry', she thought to herself and came out of her chalet.

To her surprise, the lights of the rest of the chalet was switched off.

'Lights are off. It means they must have slept. It was a long day today. I shouldn't disturb them. Let me go find Shivaay myself', she thought and began walking.

Just then, she was dragged by someone who held her by her waist by his right hand and covered her mouth by his left hand. Anika was shocked. Her screams were being muffled by his grip on her mouth. She panicked and began moving all her limbs.

'Ssshhh!!! Relax Anika! It's me!!! Shivaay!!! Chill!!! You dont want to wake them up right???', he whispered to her. She nodded after stop panicking.

He then lets go of her. She was having tears in her eyes due to fear. Shivaay cupped her face and wiped those tears off her cheeks. She pulled him into a bone-crushing hug.

'Where were you??? I was so worried about you!!! I was so scared. What if something had happened to you??? What would I do??? Don't ever do this again. If you're angry, then went it out on me. Don't just walk away. Splash water on me or yell at me or even throw me into water is fine. But this disappearing is not fine.  It's not done Shivaay Sir!!!', she poured out all her feelings. Shivaay just smiled at her concern for him.

'Okay fine. Now chill. Calm down okay. Nothing happen to me. I'm fine! See!', he reassured her after breaking the hug.

She sighed a huge relief and smacked her fists on his arms. 'You're bad!', she cribbed like a child. He smiled and pulled his hanky out and began blindfolding her.

'What is this now???', she asked.

'Do you trust me?', he asked in a husky voice whispering near her ears.

Anika nodded while blushing.

'Alright then!', he said and scooped her in his arms and began walking.

'Shivaay Sir, I can walk to wherever you're taking me. You don't have to carry me like this', she said half-heartedly.

'So that you'll stumble and fall over the air and foil my plans. No way. I'm carrying you! That's it!!!...',

'Chapter closed! Right?', Anika completed his sentence much to his surprise.

'That's right!', he replied with a huge grin.

After walking some distance, Shivaay finally put Anika down. She was about to open her blindfold but he stopped her.

'I'll open it!', he volunteered and opened the blindfold. 'Don't open your eyes yet but then!', he added.

Anika nodded childishly.

'Alright! Now!', he exclaimed.

Anika opened her eyes slowly and was mesmerized beyond words at what was infront of her.
