Shivaay and Anika finally reached home. Anika immediately leaves to their room without saying a word to Shivaay. Shivaay was really concerned for her because she never behaves like this.

He locks the main door and moves towards their bedroom. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he heard water sound from washroom.

After sometime, Anika came out of the washroom with a tired look on her face. She was holding her stomach

S- Anika, are you fine?

Anika slowly nods her head.

She sat on the bed and curled up in a ball while holding her stomach.

S- Anika, are you sure that you are fine because you don't look fine?

Anika opens her eyes and looks at Shivaay.

A(slowly) - I am fine Shivaay. Its girls' problem, you won't understand. I am sorry I troubled you a lot.

S- No. No. Its ok. You take rest. I am in hall. Just call me if you need anything.

Anika nods her head and closed her eyes.

Shivaay moves towards the living hall. He was just pacing around.

S- I don't know what's wrong with Anika. She doesn't seem well and then also she is saying taht she is fine. What is this 'girls problem'? Wait.. I think I should ask Mom. She is also a girl and she might know about this' girls problem.'

He immediately calls Jhanvi and she answers the call.

S- Hello Mom.

J- Oh My God! Am I dreaming or what? Today Shivaay Singh Oberoi, himself called me.

Jhanvi chuckles.

S- Mom. Its serious.

Jhanvi senses some tension in his voice.

J- What happened Shivaay? Is everything fine?

S- Mom! Wo... Actually Anika...

J- What happened to her? Is she fine?

S- I don't know mom, she is behaving weird. In the morning, she was all happy and chirpy, then she shouted on a girl and then she started crying. When we came home, she was looking very weak and continuously clutching her stomach. When I asked her if she is fine or not, she said that its girl's problem. I am really concerned for her mom.

Jhanvi smiles at her son's concern for Anika.

J- Don't worry, Shivaay. She might be on her days.

Shivaay realised this and gets embarrassed.

S- I am sorry, mom. I shouldn't...

J- Its ok, Shivaay. Its normal. I felt good that you are so concerned for Anika. Now I am telling you a recipe of kaadha (medicinal juice) . Make it immediately and give it to Anika, she will feel good.

S-Ok. Thanks mom.

Shivaay disconnected the call and prepared the kaadha.

He took his phone and searched about the things which he can do to make Anika feel good.

After reading the article, he prepared a hot water bag and took some chocolates from the refrigerator. He took all the things to their room.

When he entered the room, he saw that Anika was lying on the bed with painful expression.

S-Anika.

Anika looks at him.

A-Hmm.

S-Wo.. Wo.. I.. brought all these. Take these, you will feel better.

She looks at him confusingly.

A-What is this?

Shivaay gives her kaadha.

S-Drink this. This will relieve your stomach ache.

Anika looks at him shockingly.

A- But... How.... How... Do.. Yo.. You?

S-Wo I asked mom.

A-What? You asked mom?

Shivaay nods his head without looking at her.

A-But why?

S- Because I can't see you in pain.

Shivaay says while making a puppy face and Anika gets awed on him.

She smiles and takes the glass from his hand and drinks it.

A-Thank you.

Shivaay forwards the hot water bag and chocolates to her.

Anika takes it and examines the chocolate.

A-Haww, these are my chocolates. How did you find them?

Shivaay smiles naughtily.

S-Wo.. When you were drunk, you yourself told me the address of these chocolates and the reason too..

Anika palms her forehead and smiles sheepishly.

S-Don't worry, I am not chocolate chor (thief).

They both look at each other and burst into laughter.

A-Shivaay, I am feeling hungry.

S-Ok. So its almost dinner time. Tell me what do you want to have?

A-Umm.. I want to have something chinese.

Shivaay smiles and bends down a little.

S- Chef at your service, Ma'am.

Anika chuckles and Shivaay leaves to prepare dinner.

Shivaay was making dinner when Anika came to kitchen.

S-Arey Anika, why did you came here? I would have brought dinner to the room.

A- I am fine, Shivaay.

S- Ya.. Ya.. I can see that. Ok. Go and sit at the dining table. Dinner is almost ready.

Anika nods her head and moves towards dining area.

Shivaay arranges the bowls on the table and sits on his place.

A- Umm. Its smelling so good.

Anika uncovers the bowl.

NOODLES

VEG. MANCHURIAN

CHILLY PANEER

SCHEZWAN RICE

A- Wow.. Itna saara.

S-Yes I thought that you like chinese that's why I prepared all these dishes.

A- Thank you Shivaay.

Shivaay smiles and they continue to have their dinner.

After having dinner, Anika was about to pick up all the plates and bowls but Shivaay stops her.

S- Keep it. I'll do all this, you go and take rest.

A- But..

S- No ifs and buts.. Go and takes rest.

Anika makes a bad face and leaves to the bedroom.

After finishing all the tasks, Shivaay saw that Anika has already changed in her night suit and was lying on the bed. Shivaay also changes his clothes and lies down on the bed.

Shivaay was facing Anika's back. He felt weird because Anika always face him while sleeping.

S- Anika, why are you facing that side?

A-Umm..wo..wo..nothing..

Shivaay keeps his hand on her shoulder and Anika jerks his hand. He was shocked. Anika turns towards him and said-

A- Shivaay, you are not supposed to touch me in these days.. I mean when I was back at home, I used to stay out of the house for these particular days and nobody was allowed to touch me or any other women in these particular days.

S-Are you sure that you people belong to 21st century?

A- Its not a joke.

Anika again turns her back towards him.

Shivaay removes the pillow between them and back hugs her.

Anika was stunned by his actions.

A- Shivaay.

S- I don't follow any rules. Ok. I don't want to stay away from my 'friend' in any condition.

Anika smiles at him and they drifts into sleep in the same position.
