Sometimes, God has a better plan. We just need to trust and let go. Some storms are meant to pass by, but don't just wait for it to pass by, try doing some naagin dance in it! It will be fun! Haha!

It was nearly sunrise and Anika and Om just got to bed a couple hours ago. They had a long soulful talk the night before that both had forgotten time. Om told her some of their childhood stories where during the weekends, Shivaay, him and Tej Uncle go for either fishing or play golf. It was their favourite weekend activity.

Soon, as the Sun rose and the day becomes brighter, Shivaay woke up to find his lady love snuggling close into her 'pillow'. He carefully lifted her head to not disturb her sleep but she realized his movement and got right away with a jerk.

'Good morning love!', he wished her.

She smiled back at him and replied, 'Good morning Shivaay! Slept well??'.

'Kind of', saying this he went closer to her and she leaned back trying to stay away from him.

'Love birds! We're getting late. Now if your morning romance is over, can we get going??? The ferry will arrive in like about less than 2 hours', Advaay disturbed them.

'I hate this guy!', Shivaay said out loud.

'Feelings are mutual Shivaay!', he shouted out as he made his way to the chalet.

'Hahaha! You both are hillarious you know!', Anika commented.

'Yeah right! Now let go of this hillarious thingy and let's get into some serious thing', he said as he proceeded to place a kiss on her lips but it landed on her cheeks as she turned her face away at the last minute.

'Ani!!! Come quick!!!', Gauri called her.

Anika got up right away and starts to go but Shivaay called her back.

'Anika! Where are you going??', he asked very much possessively.

'Gauri's calling me. Can't you hear her screaming at the peak of her voice???', she states.

'Let her wait for a while na! Come here first!', he called her closer to him in a very cute manner making Anika smile at him.

'What is it! Tell quick otherwise Gauri will kill me!', she whispered as she neared him.

Shivaay got up from the branch and pulled her closer by her hands. He held her right hand in between both his hands.

'I have something for you once we return to Mumbai!', he gladly informed her.

'What is it??', she asked enthrilled.

'Surprise hai!', he exclaimed.

Just then, Gauri had called Anika again. She freed her hand from Shivaay's clutches and runs away not before whispering, 'I'm waiting', into his ears which was followed by a pack on the cheeks. Shivaay brushed his hair while blushing once she's gone.

After his blushing session got over, they all get ready very swiftly to leave the island. It's a long journey to Mumbai. They board the ferry quite rushingly as it arrived earlier than planned. Anika slept the whole journey as she lacked of sleep last night while Shivaay ensures that no one disturbs her sleep. He was quite aware that she hadn't slept properly that night. As soon as they arrived on Goa mainland, Shivaay has requested a chopper for him and Anika while the rest boarded the Oberoi charted plane. He wants to reach Mumbai as soon as possible as he can't wait to see the expression on her face when she sees what he has prepared for her.

Anika pestered him throughout the way but he hardly said anything to her. When they parted from the rest of the gang, Anika's suspicion grew.

'Shivaay!!! Tell me already can you!!! I can't wait more!!', she cribbed.

'Just the matter of a couple more hours love!', Shivaay persuaded her.

The chopper landed on the roof of Ahaana Authentics. As soon as they got there, Anika got a little sad as vacation is officially over and it's time to face the reality now. Shivaay's car was already waiting for them in the lobby when they were down. Anika kept quiet throughout the way to wherever Shivaay was taking her as she knows that he would never spill the beans and the thought of facing reality also brought her back from the holiday cloud nine she was lost in the past three days.

'Are we going to my apartment by any chance???', she asked him.

'Aaah! Okay, you guessed that part. But the surprise will remain a surprise!', he stated.

They got down from the car and Shivaay blindfolded her. He then properly, very carefully guided her to watch her steps.

'Just two days ago, you took me in your arms when you blindfolded me and today you're making me walk! Wah!!! How nice of you!', Anika taunted him.

'But no one was watching back there. There are at least 20 - 30 people here and you expect me to carry you in front of them???', Shivaay rebuked.

'Of course!! How can I expect the great Shivaay Singh Oberoi to carry me in his arms in front of everyone. Afterall, I'm no one to him right??', Ouch! That word hit right on his ego.

He immediately scooped her in his arms and whispered in a very stern voice to her, 'never ever say that you're no one to me ever again in the future!', it was more of a warning than a whisper.

'But it worked right! You took me in your arms!!!', Anika squealed.

Shivaay was amused when he heard that. She played a prank on him. Such a mean prank. Need to get revenge for this, he mentally noted this down. They both arrived at Anika's doorstep and Shivaay puts her down. Anika's hand went straight to remove the blindfold but before she could do that, Shivaay had smashed his lips on hers. She also began responding and both fought for dominance. Finally, Anika got the dominance and both break away as they were desperately in need of oxygen.

'That's your punishment for playing such a mean prank on me', he said while catching his breath.

'If you will always give this kind of punishments, then I'll happily do it again and again!', she chuckled as she said it.

Shivaay was left spell-bound at the revelation of this side of Anika. She was still in the blindfold. Shivaay slowly turned her around and removed the blindfold. The first sight that fell upon Anika's gaze was a luxurious door by her doorstep. She turned to look at Shivaay in embezzlement.

'Go ahead! Open it!', He urged her.

She tries to open it but it was locked. She turned and look at Shivaay.

'I forgot! It opens with a passcode. The digit is 11-09-17. Your birthday date and also the date we confessed our feelings!', he said with much excitement.

Anika crunched the code and the door  unlocked. She gasped widely upon seeing her house. It was no longer the same house anymore. Everything was modified. It was more like a grand hotel than her plain apartment. The furniture were also all changed. In short, the whole house was overhauled. She and Shivaay had discussed and decided how the house should be renovated analysis was nothing like the earlier plan. The renovation was of Anika's choice, but it was those that she turned down citing the high price. Each and every detail were very minute, just the way she had told him.

'Did you like it??', Shivaay asked her as he hugged her from the back.

Anika was just speechless and standing there with a welled up eyes. She shook her head 'No' giving shock to Shivaay.

PRECAP : 'Why did you do that???', she asked him with a clear anger in her voice.
