Shivaay was stunned at the sudden bold move of Anika. He was unable to understand what was happening. He stood numb while she pulled him closer by his collars. Shivaay dropped the box he was holding earlier and grabbed on her waist. He pulled her in closer for a much deeper kiss. There was hardly any space left in between them. They were kissing each other like there was no tomorrow. In a few seconds, they broke the kiss as they were getting breathless. They placed their foreheads together with a wide, satisfactory smile, blushing together. Both were lost in each other's embrace, breathing in the same air as the other. They were in a different world totally. They had forgotten whatever that is going on around them. All they know is that the euphoric feeling has teleported them into the world of love. The feeling they had at that time was beyond words. It was bliss for them.

'First kiss done!', Anika said as she smiled.

'So shall we proceed with first time?', Shivaay asked playfully.

Anika nodded her head surprising Shivaay. Then when she finally understood what he meant, she pushed him away saying, 'cheapde!'.

'Cheapde??? Come on Anika, youare talking as if I did something to you! I didn't do anything. I'm a very gentleman. You initiated the kiss. I just went along with the flow. And now you're calling me cheapde!!! Wahh!!!', he rebuked playfully.

'Then what else would I've done? Huh? If I waited for you to do something, it will take forever to happen!!!', Anika angrily spit out.

Shivaay gasped at her sentence.

'Huh! Kitni badi cheapdi ho tum! (You're such a cheapdi!) You have been desperately waiting for this! Haih! I feel like my dignity is gone!', he tries to do some drama like she always does.

'Accha!!! You're doing drama in front of me???!!! Me??? The drama-queen. And besides that, whatever you're doing is not called drama! It's called over-acting!', she understood his game.

'I got habituated to drama because of you only! You made me this way!', he replied.

'Don't be cheesy! Doesn't suit you as well!', she added.

He went closer to her and held her by her waist making them closer to each other.

'Then tell me... which behaviour suits me... hmmm... tell me!', he asked her.

Anika blushes looking down. He lifted her head up by her chin and asked her again, ' I'm listening, tell me na! Tell Anika...', he whispered.

'You want to know???', she asked blushingly.

'Hmm! Yes... that's why I asked!', he spill.

'It suits you very well when you're a Tadibaaz, akdu, arrogant, sadu,  Bagad Billa!', she revealed and ruffled his hair and runs away. He chased behind her while she was enjoying it.

'Anika wait! Anika!!!', he called her out while chasing her.

Finally he got a hold of her by back-hugging her but the to the force of his pull, both fell on the sand, laughing, looking at each other. Then slowly he got closer to her. She was getting nervous at their proximity and got up right away. She brushed away all the sand on her skin and dress.

'Its getting late, we should go. They'll be looking for us', she tries to hide her nervousness and began walking towards the tent Shivaay has set up. He was rather confused down there but nevertheless he got up and got next to her.

'Anika, what's wrong? What happened?', he asked her.

'Nothing. It's just that it's getting late and we should get back', she spits out trying to avoid his gaze.

'Hey, I know something is troubling you! You can tell me!', he assured her while holding her by her neck. Her eye were glistened and tears has welled up.

'I miss Mumma and Papa. That's all. I didn't want to spoil the moments here by crying but I just became jhalli all of the sudden. Sorry Shivaay Sir', she apologized to him.

'There's no need for you to say sorry for that, okay? I understand how you're feeling right now. But, please no tears on your birthday', he wiped her tears. She smiled and hugged him.

'I LOVE YOU!!! And I don't want my lady love to be upset on her birthday', finally he uttered those words to her.

She tighten the hug and uttered it as well, 'I LOVE YOU too, Shivaay Sir'.

Shivaay frowned and broke the hug. She signalled 'what happened' to him. He held her close like before and neared his mouth to her ears.

'Anika! Can you please stop with the 'sir' now. Call me by just my name! Is that okay?', he whispers. She nodded and called him by just his name, 'Shivaay!'.

'That's nice!', he replied while being in the same position. She lowered her head and settled into his chest. She felt at peace hearing his heartbeat against her ears.

'Shall we go??', he asked her.

'No, I want to stay here. Right here in this beach in your arms like this!', she replied childishly while tightening the hug.

He couldn't help but to smile. Just then, she yawned being sleepy. He smiled again, carried her in his arms and placed her carefully on the duvet that was laid open there. He lay down next to her.

'Sleep Anika. I'm sorry that there's no pillow but then', he whispers.

'Who said there's no pilow? ( she got up and placed her head on his chest) this is my customized pillow. Only for me! No one else!', she said strictly.

Shivaay made her look up at him and pecked her lips. She smiled and pecked him back. Then within seconds, without them realizing, what started off as a playfull peck transformed into a passionate kiss with Anika totally on top of him. She was dominating the kiss. Just then, he turned her around so that he's on top of her and began another session of a passionate kiss. They were being lost in each other's flavour badly. It was a new addiction they couldn't resist.

'Let's stop... here. Else... I wouldn't... be able to.... control myself', he said in between the kisses and pulls away from her. He laid back on his position next to her. Anika also returns to the same position placing her head on her 'pillow'. He encircled his hands around her waist. And within a few minutes, both fell into a deep slumber sleep in their loves arms.
