Soon Shivaay, Annika were sitting opposite Satvik and Manvi. They all were sitting in awkward silence, as no one knew how to start the conversation.

"Ahm, let's order something?" Manvi decided to break the ice.

"First let's order some mocktails?" asked Satvik.

In which all of them agreed. Soon they all were settled with their drinks.

"So how did you guys meet?" asked Satvik after taking the sip of his mojito.

Both Shivaay and Annika mentally scolded themselves for not cooking their love story, but Annika decided to take the matter on her hands, and before Shivaay starts his something boring story she quickly hold his hand tightly and started saying,

"Well our love story is really filmy, but the point is we met, and fell for each other." she said, looking Shivaay like a lovesick teenager.

Which burned Satvik, while Manvi was really happy for Annika. Even Shivaay was surprised when Annika was looking at him with so much love. It feels so real as if she is truly madly in love with him.

"So tell us na. I mean I really want to know your love story." said Satvik in a pretentious tone looking towards Shivaay.

"Well..." Shivaay was cooking a story in his head but before he could say something.

"We met in a temple", said Annika looking towards Satvik.

She continued

"We met in a temple, he was their for a pooja and his guards pushed a kid to corner, I couldn't bear it so I fought with him and in anger I broke his car's windshield"

Satvik gulped the lump formed in his throat realising she is still feisty. Whereas Shivaay still remembers how that day went for him from that day he is completely tangled in Annika whatever he does wherever he goes he finds Annika there.

"Then he had a project, in which he needed a VR team so his bade papa knew me very well and then we decided to collaborate together. At first it was really tough for both of us to even look at each other's face but then eventually we started understanding each other and then I realised we both are really similar. And then he proposed to me. So we have been in a relationship for just a week."

"Wow!!It's so nice Annika, your story is so romantic and you truly said it's filmy." Mavi said, clasping her hands.

"Well even we have a wonderful story right Manvi?" Satvik asked, taking her in side hug.

Manvi just smiled as knew what he is upto.

"I mean look at our story I was in relation with your roomie but then I feel for you...just like a love triangle. Am I right Annika?" Satvik said in a demeaning tone.

Annika was trying to control herself as she does not want to create a scene whereas Shivaay realised Annika's state of mind so he decided to take matters in his hand.

"Well I feel you are wrong here Satvik, I mean your story is filmy but I guess it's not a love triangle. What I have heard and know about you Annika was never in love with you, for the sake of peer pressure or what we say , she was in a relationship with you but then she realised that public opinion should not matter to her she decided to break up with you. And then when she really got someone she decided to fall in love. I am not saying I am perfect for her. But yes living with her I am becoming perfect"

Annika was awed listening to his confession. He truly understands and knows her so well, whereas Satvik was angry as his plan was also a flop.

Manvi can feel the tension between Shivaay and Satvik. So she decided to change the topic and asked them to order dinner.

Shivaay Annika nodded their head, Shivaay decided to show Satvik his place.

"Ahm baby, I was thinking..", he continued but then he looked at Annika who was still looking at the menu card and didn't pay any attention. He mentally scolded her for forgetting her very own plan.

To gain her attention he kept her hand on her thighs ,due to which she shrieked and immediately looked towards Shivaay, and asked through her eyes what are you doing?, but before he could say something .

"Is everything ok guys?" asked Satvik who was seeing their PDA

"Yes everything is fine Satvik, I was just asking Anni what she wants for dinner.", said Shivaay looking towards Annika with a smile. While Satvik holded a fork in a very tight grip.

"Sorry, I was just zoned out, I missed it.", Annika said.

"Not an issue, what do you want to have?" He asked.

"Whatever you wish."

"Ok then how about some lebanese chilli mushroom and BBQ prawns Rudra always praises about it, I am sure you would love it." Shivaay said, looking at Annika. While Annika closes her eyes realising what a grave mistake Shivaay just did.

"Seriously Shivaay, you don't know that Annika is severely allergic to shellfish, and she can't have prawns.". Said Satvik with a smirk while in his mind the 1-0 score was going on.

Shivaay quickly looks towards Annika, "I am sorry I didn;t knew you were allergic to shellfish", he was sad and Annika realised it so she just hold his face and make him look towards her,

"It's ok Shivaay, if you didn't know it. Just don't be guilty, ok." she said directly looking in his eyes.

Shivaay nodded and Annika took her hands back, whereas Shivaay just took a deep breath to calm himself.

"Seriously Annika you are really lucky that you met Shivaay, he really cares for you.", said Manvi who was adoring both of them.

Whereas Satvik frowned looking at Manvi who was praising the guy whom he despised. While Shivaay Annika looks towards each other with admiration for each other in their eyes.

"Oh common Manvi, in that case you are also lucky, even I know your all likes and dislikes. And as of Annika yours too unlike someone else." He said with his usual smug face.

Which made Annika roll her eyes and she was so damn right about him, so he invited them for dinner so that he can embarrass both of them but now she decided to make him taste his own medicines. While Manvi and Shivaay got upset with Satvik's behaviour, if it won't be related to Annika Shivaay would have dealt with him with his ways, but right now he has to be patient for Annika.

"Wow Satvik I am really impressed with you. Just tell me what I would love to have then?"She said looking at him, if Satvik could look outside his ego wall he could realise Annika was burning in anger.

"Well I am honoured to do it for you so how about some churrasco pineapple and tandoori soya chaap, in our college days we used to eat these only right.", he said in a haughty way.

"Well I am so glad to say this Satvik, please grow up!!"Annika said with a forceful smile, whereas Satvik got pale.

"I mean yes we used to eat this, but it's because it was your choice Satvik, this is what you like not me." said Annika looking in his eyes.

"You know you never knew what I really liked or wanted in my life. But Shivaay, he always asks my opinion and he tries to understand me unlike you" she said looking towards Shivaay.

"You know this evening I was feeling kinda low, he just understood and got me an ice cream that too my favourite flavour. Tum toh aaj tak mera mood nahi guess kar paye and still you compare yourself with him."

Hearing this Satvik felt embarrassed; he never thought Annika could say such things to him. According to him he is the most wonderful boyfriend that anyone can ask for.

"And you know what Satvik we are done for this evening, I really can't tolerate you, from the time we have met either you are insulting me or Shivaay. So we are done. I hope you both have a wonderful future together." She said while picking up her purse and holding Shivaay's hand she went away with him."

Seeing this Mavi looked towards Satvik furiously, "What the hell was that Satvik? What's wrong with you?"

"Manvi I didn't do anything, it's just Annika could not handle it." he said as if it was not his mistake.

"You know what Satvik I guess Annika was right you are an asshole and I guess I really deserve better so we are done goodbye!!", saying this Manvi went away from there.

"Seriously guys!! You think I am an asshole, I guess you all don't know to recognise the real diamond, so let it be I will enjoy my meal here and yes I do deserve better" Satvik said this lines to himself and then called waiter to order some churrasco pineapple and tandoori soya chaap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I am sorry Shivaay I shouldn't involve you in this", Annika said looking towards him.

They were walking towards their car.

"Well you shouldn't be, because I am not upset, I really enjoy it. I mean I became a boyfriend for the first time so ya I enjoyed it." he said with a small smile playing on his face.

"Wait, are you saying that you never dated anyone?" She was amused when she heard him.

"Well yes I have never dated someone. Found these things stupid you see, but maybe I have one girl in my mind" he muttered the last line so that she wouldn't listen to it.

"New piece of information about you ,interesting, but if in future you need any tips do tell me regarding this matter. I am an expert in it" she raises an imaginary collar.

"Well you would be the last one whom I will go for a suggestion, as I just saw your choice in man." he said pulling her leg.

While Annika hit on his shoulder and muttered whatever.

"But still I owe you this time.", she said

"You do, and I want it right now."

"How?" she asked confusingly.

"A dinner"

"You owe me dinner!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do tell me...till then goodbye

With Love
