Anika reached the venue accompanied by Gauri. She gave interview to the media people, then she went inside.

Many awards were distributed and Anika also got Best actress award. The award function got finished and all the actors, actresses and directors went for the after party.

Some directors and actresses asked Anika to join the party and Anika joined them finally.

She was sitting in a corner looking at the people enjoying and celebrating. Gauri also has to leave as she got an family emergency.

Suddenly from nowhere, Daksh came and sat beside her.

D- hello baby.

Anika was digusted by his sudden appearance.

She was about to get up from her place when Daksh held her hand tightly. Anika glared at him and jerked his hand.

She was feeling suffocated by his presence so she left the party. She came to the garden area and was standing there with closed eyes to get some peace.

Shivaay entered the garden stealthily. He looks at Anika standing there with closed eyes. He took out the photo, which Daksh had given him, to check whether she is the one or not.

S- Arey, ye toh wahi madam hai. (She is the one.)

Shivaay took out his handkerchief and poured some chloroform on it. He went towards Anika from behind and pressed the handkerchief on her nose. Firstly, Anika tried to free herself but after inhaling chloroform, she lost her consciousness.

S- Bahut badhiya ji. (Very Good.)

Shivaay picked her up in his arms and made her sit on the passenger seat of his Jeep.

He immediately sat on the driver seat. He finally noticed Anika's face in the moonlight. He was mesmerized by her beauty and simplicity. He tucked her hair strand behind her ear.

Suddenly he came out of his thoughts.

S- Shivaay, No...No gande (dirty) thoughts... Boss killing I. Me seeing his item.

Shivaay said in his broken English, maybe to impress unconscious Anika. 😉

Shivaay immediately called Rudra. Rudra answered his call after few rings.

S- Hello Rudra.

R- Haan bhaiya. (Yes brother.)

S- Bhere(Where) ghar (house).... Finding?

R- Bhaiya ya toh aap English bol lo ya hindi. (Bhaiya, either you speak English or Hindi.)

S- Ok. Ok. Koi ghar mila? (Did you find some house?)

R- Haan bhaiya. Ek ghar hai jungle ke pass. Main aapko address bhejta hoon aap aa jao. (Yes bhaiya. There's a house near forest. I am sending you the address, come soon.)

S- Theek hai. (Okay.)
Rudra sent him the address and Shivaay drove towards the place.

They reached the place and it was tree house.

Shivaay parked his jeep near the house and was stunned to see the house.

S- Arey waah.. Ped pe ghar. Bada sundar hai. Par ek doubt hai? (Wow.. House on a tree. Very beautiful but I have a doubt.)

R- Kya bhaiya? (What?)

S- Yeh ped pe chad ke ghar banaye kaise honge?😂 (How did they built that house on the tree?)

Rudra face-palmed himself.

R- Kya fark padta hai, bhaiya? Hume toh ghar mil gaya na. (It doesn't matter, bhaiya. Finally we got the house.)

S- sahi kaha. (Right.)

R- Chalo ab andar chalte hain. (Let's go inside.)

S- Haan tum jao. Apun madamji ko leke aata hai. (Yes you go. I'll bring madam.)

Rudra nods his head and went inside the house.

Shivaay picked up Anika in his arms and went inside the house. He was totally in awe with the interior.

S- ye toh swarg hai. Tumhe ye ghar mila kaise? (This is heaven. How did you get this house?)

R- Bhaiya, mera dost hain na Omkara, wo property agent hai. Ussi ne kuch din pehle mujhe iss ghar ke baare mein bataya tha. Iske maalik NRI hai aur woh ye ghar bechna chahte hain isiliye ghar khali pada hai. (Bhaiya, I have a friend, Omkara.He is a property dealer. He told me about this house. This house's owner is NRI and he wanted to sell their house, that's why it's empty.)

S- Chalo acha hai. Ab mujhe ye bata inko kahan rakhoon? (That's good.Now tell me where should I keep her?)

R- Bhaiya wo insaan hai, koi cheez nahi jo aap rakhoge. (Bhaiya, she's a human not any thing that you'll keep her.)

S- Acha baba, ab bata? (Ok, now tell me?)

R- Wahan bedroom hai. (There's a bedroom.)

Shivaay nods his head and went towards the bedroom.

S- Ye iss ghar ke maalik ne ped pe mast ghar banaya hai.😂 (The owner of this house has made an amazing house on the tree.)

Shivaay made Anika lye down on the bed and covered her with the blanket.

He went out in the Hall and sat beside Rudra on the sofa.

R- Bhaiyya, aap sure ho aap ye karna chahte ho? (Bhaiya, are you sure that you want to do this?)

S- Ab apun poori ladki utha ke le aaya, aur kitna sure hona mangta hai.😂 (Now I've brought a complete girl with me, how much more surity do you want?)

Rudra chuckles and nods his head.

S- Ab tum ghar jao, taaki kisi ko hum pe shak na ho. Aur jo zaroorat hogi woh main tumhe bata doonga, wo le aana. (Now you go home so that noone get doubt. If I'll need something then I'll call you.)

Rudra nods his head and left from there. Shivaay was sitting on the couch and relaxing. Suddenly he heard a shout and he fell down from the couch.

Here Anika gains consciousness. She sits on the bed while holding her head due to headache. She observes her surroundings which were unknown to her.

A(thinks) - Where am I? How did I reach here? Wait... When I was in the garden, someone came from behind and pressed my nose with a cloth then I lost my consciousness. Oh My God! Am I kidnapped? Sh*t!

She gets panicked and shrieked loudly. Due to her shriek, Shivaay fell down on the floor.

S- ya mulgi ek samasya ahe. (This girl is a problem.)

He immediately ran towards the bedroom.

Anika looks at him shockingly.

A- Who are you? Why did you kidnap me? What do you want?

S- Hindi bolo, madamji. I love English. English.. Me.. No friends.. Ok.

Anika looks at him confused.

A- Tum kaun ho? Aur tumne mujhe kidnap kyu kiya hai? Kya chahiye tumhe?

S- I... Me... Myself.. Shivaay. Mujhe kuch chahiye nahi. Woh toh apun ko kuch din aapko apne paas rakhna hai, aap kisi aur ki amanat ho na. Par aap tension na lo, apun aapko nuksaan nahi pahuchayega.(I am Shivaay. I don't want anything. It's just that I have to keep you with me for some days as you are someone else's. But please don't worry. I won't harm you.)

Anika looks at him. Her heart says to believe him but her mind says that how can she trust a kidnapper.

A- Par main tumpe bharosa kyu karu? (Why should I trust you?)

S- Mat karo. Apun ko kya. (Then don't. It doesn't matter to me.)

Anika finally listened to her heart and trusted him because she can't see any cleverness on his face or in his words.

A- Par tumhe mujhe yaha rakhne ko kisne kaha hai? (But who asked you to kidnap me?)

S- Woh toh top secret hai. Apun nahi bata sakta. (That's a top secret. I can't tell you.)

Anika chuckles at his language. She came out of the bed and stood in front of him.

A- Tum hamesha aise hi baat karte ho kya 'Apun ko kya'? (Do you always talk like this?)

Anika mimicks him and burst into laughter. Shivaay also smiles sheepishly. He scratches his nape while smiling.

S- Haan. Apun jis anath ashram mein bada hua, wahan sabhi aise baat karte the toh apun bhi. (Yes. I grew up in a orphanage where everyone used to talk like so I also talk like this.)

Anika's smile faded after hearing him.

A- I am sorry. Mujhe.. (I...)

S- It's ok madamji. Jab mere maa-baap ko sorry feel nahi hua mere liye toh aap kaiko sorry feel kar rahi ho. (When my parents didn't feel sorry about me then why are you sorry.)

Shivaay says with a smile. Anika also smiles back.

A- Ab tum mujhe ye batane nahi wale ki tumhe mujhe kisne kidnap karne ke liye bola hai toh ye hi bata do ki kitne din tak ke bola hai. (Now you aren't going to tell me that who asked you to kidnap me, atleast tell me till how many days you to keep me here?)

S- Arey ye toh apun poochna hi bhool gaya. (Sh*t! I totally forgot to ask about it.)

Anika chuckles at him.

A- Acha chalo mujhe kuch khane ko do. Mujhe bhook lag rahi hai. (Ok. Now give me something to eat. I am very hungry.)

S- Haan chaliye. Rudra khana rakh ke gaya hai. (Let's go. Rudra has kept some food.)

A- Rudra?

S- Apun ka bhai. (My brother.)

A- Par tumne toh kaha ki tum.... (But you said that you....)

Anika left the sentence incomplete as she thought Shivaay might feel bad.

S- Woh apun ka real bhai nahi hai, hum log wohi anath ashram mein mile the. (He's not my real brother, we met at the orphanage.)

Anika nods in understanding. They went to kitchen and Anika sat on the platform.

Shivaay gives her a plate which had Vada Pav. Anika started eating it happily.

A- Tum kya karte ho? Kidnapping hi karte ho ya aur bhi kuch kaam karte ho? (What do you do? You only kidnap people or some other work also?)

S- Apun topper hai. (I am a topper.)

Shivaay says proudly.

A- Wow. Kaun se subject ke? (Which subject?)

S- Apun criminal list ka topper hai. 😂(I am topper of criminal list.)

Anika was totally shocked. She immediately stood up.

A- Tum murderer, rapist, contract killer bhi ho? (Are you a murderer, rapist and contract killer also?)

Shivaay was flabbergasted by her question.

S- Arey, nahi nahi madamji. Main toh chota mota chor hoon jo hafte mein 3-4 chori kar leta hoon isiliye police walo ne mujhe topper bana ke rakha hai. (No. No madam. I am just a small thief who steals 3-4 times in a week that's why policemen has labeled me as a topper.)

Anika sighs in relief and again sat on the platform and resumes eating.

S- Waise aapko mujhse darr nahi lagta.. Apun ka matlab.. Apun ne aapko kidnap kiya hai. (Are you not afraid of me? I mean... I've kidnapped you.)

Anika shook her head in no. Shivaay frowns.

S- Kyu?(Why?)

A- Kyunki mere dil ne kaha ki tum galat insaan nahi ho. (Because my heart said that you aren't a wrong guy.)

S- Oh acha ji. Dil bhi baatein karta hai, apun ne kabhi theek se suna nahi.😂 (Oh really. Heart also talks. I haven't heard it carefully.)

Anika burst into laughter after hearing him.

A- Tumhe pata hai, tum bahut cute ho. (You know that you're very cute.)

Shivaay scrunches his nose.

S- Oh Madamji, apun ko cute mat kaho. Apun ko pata hai ladkiyan chote chote kutte ke pillon ko cute kehti hai. Main kutte ka pilla thodi na hoon.😂 (Madam, please don't call me cute. I know usually girls say cute to a puppy and I am not a puppy.)

Anika again burst into laughter.

A- Apun tereko cute hi bolegi. (I will call you as cute only.)

Anika chuckles and was about to leave when she stopped and looked at him.

A- Aur haan, mujhe ye madamji bulana band karo, mujhe aunty wali feeling aati hai. Call me Anika. Okay? (And yes, stop calling me madamji. I feel like an aunty. Call me Anika. Okay?)

Shivaay nods his head and smiled sheepishly.

Anika went towards the bedroom and lied down on the bed.

A(thinks) (to God) - I don't know what have you thought about me and why are you doing this but I trust you.

She smiles and drifted into sleep. Shivaay came into the room and saw that Anika was asleep so he carefully picked a pillow for himself and went to sleep in the Hall.
