Once they had reached the office, Anika directed him to their cabin, telling him about the office on the way.

"Yeh hai humara cabin..."announced Anika as they finally enter a huge cabin.

Shivaay-"humara..?" he asked looking around at the spacious cabin with two tables place adjacent in L shape and a couch and centre table on the otherside.

Anika-"Humara..!!"

"Oh. ok..." He mumbled lost in his thoughts.

Anika pointing towards a table-"Yeh ..."

Shivaay-"Meri Table hai.."

Anika-"How did you know?"

Shivaay smirked with attitude. "Maine apni table itni messi nahi rakhta..!!"he said pointing at her table which had a few files and stationary holders and scattered bits of paper. She looked that way.

Anika smiled sheepishly. "itni messi bhi nahi hai..!!"she turned to find him near the tables checking out the files.

She helped him find a few recent files and he asked her to pick all files relating to upcoming events.

Anika-"Inn sabko aap ek raat mein toh padhne nahi waaley so innhe uthane kaa kya faida.."

Shivaay giving her the boss look-"I will manage that you don't have to worry about that."

Anika was now getting irritated at him for throwing attitude at her."Ab itna bhi dimaag pe zor mat daaliye...itni saari files."

He cut her off-"Look I know what to do alright."

Seeing him dead serious she decided to just obey. She carried a pile of files"Main innhe le jaati hoon..."

Shivaay-"hhmmm..." he followed with another set closing the cabin behind him.

Anika mumbled to herself on the way. "Pakka pagal hain.Mujhe lakta hai uss accident ke baad inke dimaag ki wiring mein kuch problem hai.Pal mein aise toh pal mein waise.Inke saath rehke kahin main paagal naa ho jaun..!"

Shivaay heard her mumring to herself. "She is totally mad..I wonder main pichele nine months ke liye isske saath kaise raha...!"

They keep the files on the back seat.

Anika sighing.."Mil gayi files aaya sukon..chale"

They leave.

Shivaay-"Ok Anika listen...meri memory loss ke baare mein sirf tum aur doctor jaante hoo.I don't want anyone else to know. I mean I just want to avoid the unnecessary drama..you get what I mean?"

Anika-"okay"

It was 8pm Anika had just finished watching the end of Kabhi kushi kabhi gam.While he was still in his room going through the files.

She decided to go and check on him. She knocked at his room's door. "Come in, it's open"

She entered to see him engrossed in a file seated at the study table, with a pile of files stacked neatly on a side.

Shivaay looked up-"hmm...there you go, done."he exclaimed closing the file.

"just 2 more to go"

Anika looked at him impressed."Who maine aap se ...wooo aapne Bhalla aunty ko bola thaa naa ki hum visarjan aarti..."

Shivaay-"o yes. Cool main yeh files aa kar pad longa. Now, I had told her I would be there so I have to right."

Anika-"theke 15 min mein neeche chalet hain"

After 15 mins he came out of his room to see her dressed in a pink Patiala kurta with a cream dupatta. She was making something in the kitchen. He walked up to her and saw that she was making seera.

Shivaay-"yeh..."

Anika-"Wo Prasad ke liye..."

"Oh!" He was impressed, being an orphan all along she was cultured though he didn't express it. "bBy the way hum zyaada der nahi rukenge we go ..do aarti ...and comeback.."

Anika understood-"Kyun socialise nahi karna Mr.SSO? " she smiled teasingly.

Shivaay-"SSO ?"

Anika-"itna bada naam kaun baar baar le..issliye SSO Shivaay singh oberoi...short and swe...short" she completed. Sweet and him no ways.

Shivaay-" Whatever ?"

Anika packs the seera in a hotpot.."chale.?" He nodded.

Both moved towards the door.

Anika-"Wo chaabi wahan hain. " She pointed to the drawer of the table.

"So?" Shivaay shrugged surprised.

Anika stated at him -"jaaiye leke aai yee."

Shivaay-"Main...?"

Anika-"Nahi aapka bhoot...ab jaayiye lekar aai ye. Aapki height aur kam nahi hogi." she chuckled to herself.

Shivaay-"hey watch it...Main"

Anika cut him off. "Aap kitna bolte hain. Jaaiye le aaiye seera thanda hogaya toh bappa ko pasand nahi aayega." Saying that she steppee out with the hotpot in her hand.

Shivaay tight-lipped followed her instructions and got the keys locking the door after that. This girl had the guts to comment on anything from his name to his height. Too much!

They entered the pandal setup in the apartment.

Mrs.Bhalla again clings on to Shivaay and talks to him introducing him to others while Anika cleverly escapes the scene and goes to help in the Pooja arrangements.

Shivaay gives her a cursing look as he sees her teasing him and leaving.

Finally, the Aarti started and as Shivaay's turn came Mrs.bhalla made Anika stand with him and do the aarti with him.Anika reluctantly agreed. They shared an awkward eye-lock while doing the aarti.

The aarti was over and Shivaay saw Mrs.Bhalla busy, before she could cling to him again he quickly pulled Anika and left after taking the prasaad.

Anika-"Kyaa hua aap itni jaldi mein kyun hai."

Shivaay looked behind her to make sure she wasn't coming. Mrs Bhalla of course. "Woo....wo mujhe..two files are pending so.."

Anika-"Lekin dinner bhi hai...dinner khaa kar chalte hai.."

Shivaay-"Noo.."

Anika gazed at him weirdly, giving him a questioning look.

Shivaay-"Wooo...aaj bhaar khaya thaa naa lunch so too much outside food is not good for health..so dinner ghar pee..."

Anika noticed him glancing back again and again at Mrs.Bhalla and she understood.

Suppressing a laugh.."lekin ghar par khana...nahi banaya..

Shivaay sees Mrs.Bhalla turning ..."Maine bana lunga..." Saying that he dragged her towards the lift.

Anika smiled controlling her laughter. "Lekin aapne Mrs.Bhalla ko bye nahi bola. Bad manners."

"Tum bole ke aajao main chalta hoon. Okay" he said irritated.

Anika nodded holding back her smile.

Finally the food was ready.After much argument both had decided on a single dish for dinner.She switched on the tv and sat for dinner.

Shivaay-"Tum dinner khaate huye tv dehk tii hoo?"

Anika-"Haan.." casually flipping through the channels..."Kyun aap nahi dehkte ...?"

Shivaay-"Nahi ...dinner time was the Oberoi time, poori family saath mein dinner karti thi.." His voice suddenly trailed off realising where he was going.

Anika glanced at him and saw him lost in his thoughts.

Anika-"o Mr.SSo kahan kho gaye aap.."

Shivaay sighed and looked at the pasta in his plate.

Anika to divert his thoughts. "Aap ne cooking course kiya hai kyaa...bahut acha ban hai pasta."

Shivaay smiled.Appreciation for his cooking was something he loved genuinely. "Well I had a passion to cook so I just explored and learnt from the internet."

Her lips curved into a smile.

Shivaay-"Waise woo upcoming event Desinger Meher Bhel ne jo collaboration party rakhi hai for Mrs.Sehra Gill...uss event ki latest development kya hai?"

Anika- "haan wo, unne apni preference dee dii hain kal tak sab final ho jana chaiye event sat ko hai.!" She said chewing.

Shivaay-"Hmm.." He stared at her as she took another big bite.

They ate in silence watching the trailers on tv.

They both retired for the day and moved to their rooms.

Anika tired due to the day's happenings fell asleep soon while Shivaay worked on the remaining files and then checked on the development and latest news on his companies. Correction companies which once belonged to him and were now owned by that Rana.

He studied every bit of news written about his family ever since that fateful day. He read that it was Gayatri. She had been arrested and sentenced to death three months ago for the blast.It was she who had planned the blast and some cctv footage had been recovered which had proved her crime.

He sighed.She deserved it.He looked up the internet there was practically nothing about the Oberois, absolutely nothing. With great difficulty he got a few of his family photos from the internet. Rana had made the Oberoi name vanish. But soon he would have his name into the dirt. Shivaay Singh Oberoi wouldn't spare him.

Shivaay-started noting down details about Rana in a diary. "Siddharth Rana you are so going to pay for what you did to the Oberois. You created misunderstanding between me and Om, I couldn't even talk properly to my family for the last time. Main tumhe destroy kar ke rahoonga." he said in his menacing voice.

The next day:

Shivaay being an early riser was up early and went for a jog. As he passed the Oberoi mansion he stood still. Just when he was about to move ahead he hears the watchman speak about an electrician who had not yet arrived. He immediately took the opportunity and went to a nearby shop, disguised himself as a sardaar and went in like an electrician.

He easily entered inside with the watchman. When the watchman left him at the back of the hall he quickly went about seeing the changes in the house.

Half an hour later he exists the house. This time his resolution stronger than before.
