Anika was surprised, this was least she expected from him."Mr.SSO aur supermarket." She said to herself surprised.

They reached the supermarket. Anika asked him to go take the necessary stuffs for himself while she goes the other way to take necessary toiletries and girl stuff.Both take a trolley each and move.

She quickly finished and joined him.

Shivaay was standing beside a naughty kid, who was spraying the deodorant everywhere.

"Hey that's bad manners usse waapas rakho.." He commanded. The kid saw him and made a face at him continuing to do what he was enjoying.

Shivaay took it from his hand and keeps it back on the shelf and pointing his finger towards the boy, with anger on his face."bad manners aisa nahi karte."

The kid gave him an annoyed look and went to the other shelf and starts shuffling the soaps.

Shivaay-"hey ...bola naa nahi karte " he gave another angry stare at the kid. Now the kid gave him an angry stare too and stomping his feet walked off.

"Crazy kid.."

Anika laughed. He looked up to find her laughing."Aap bachoon ko bhi nahi chod tee Mr.SSO typical Stone singh oberoi..kitna cute bachaa thaa.."

Shivaay-"Cute? No way! Naughty...thaa...you saw how he stared at me. Kids these days!"

Anika-"chaliye uss taraf jaatein hain she said pointing to the food section."

Shivaay-"Do something, umm, you give me half the list it will be faster."

Anika-"list toh yahan hai "she said pointing to her head.

He gave her an exasperated stare.."you are impossible..tum list ke bina grocery shopping karti hoo. Seriously?"

Anika-"Aapki problem kyaa hain. Main har jo cheez karti hoon wo aapke liye itni badi breaking news kyun ban jaati hain..?"

And there again they stared arguing.

An elderly stern looking lady saw them, "Oh hello Mr. and Mrs. Ladna hai toh ghar jaake lado apne pati-patni ke jaghde ghar par khatam kar ke aaya karo aise public ko kyun disturb kar rahe hoo."

Saying that she moved ahead.

Shivaay looked a little embarrassed and glared at Anika.

Anika shrugged her shoulder and whispered "uss bache ko bhi aisa hi laga hoga jab aapne usse daata" and she chuckled and moved forward.

Shivaay followed her ."This lady is impossible." He muttered to himself.

As they were arguing about which flour is better, the same kid came by with a toy gun in his hand and concealed himself behind the racks glaring at Shivaay.

Anika-"Main keh rahi hoon Aashirvaad better hain."

Shivaay-"No I think Pilsberry is better."

The kid came out of his hiding and pointed his gun on Shivaay. Both tuen around to find the same kid.

Shivaay-"Not again."

Anika smirked.

Shivaay-"Come on woh gun nakli hai usse kuch nahi hone wala.."

Before he could realise the boy pressed the trigger and on Shivaay's face lands some liquid.

"Phat the wuck"

"O Bete kii"..Anika exclaims her mouth in a perfect O.

And the boy laughed victoriously and put some more of it on him.

Shivaay puts his hand on his face and sees something blue in his hand.."What the hell" the boy had put something blue on his face. Not the face!

Anika laughed loudly and pulled the boy's cheeks.

Shivaay glared at her and she moved behind. He stared angrily at the boy, while Anika cleverly clicked Shivaay's picture unknown to him.

Anika continued laughing and couldn't stop.

Shivaay-"stop it alright...washroom kahan hai?"

Anika pointed in the direction.

People who saw him like that chuckled annoying him more.

Finally, he emerged out washing his face and came out to see a laughing Anika. Seeing him she kept a finger on her lip smiling.

Shivaay annoyed.."Let go"

Anika simply agreed.

They quickly got the billing done and moved out in perfect silence.

As they sit in car they saw the same boy in his parent's car sticking his tongue out and teasing Shivaay.

Shivaay"what the ..! Aise kids...just hate them."

Anika laughed yet again." Kuch bhi... kitna cute hai.."she waved at him.

Shivaay held her hand keeping it down. "He is not cute..!"

Anika laughed."He is."

Shivaay-"Woh cute nahi hai he is a brat a spoilt brat.."

Anika-"Aapko kyun mirchi lag rahi hai mujhe wo cute laga aur aap BBB..!!" she chuckled.

"Mujhe koi mirchi nahi lag rahi hai okay...wooh cute nahi thaa...and whats BBB now?" he asked irritated.

Anika-"Arey BBB-Blue coloured Bhiggi Billi.." she blurted out.

Shivaay-"how dare you.."

Anika breaking into a laughter "aapko pata hain aapki aankhon ka aur face ka colour bilkul; match kar raha thaa..!!"

Shivaay-"Enough" he shouted angrily.

Anika kept mum seeing his anger rise.

Shivaay waited for her to wear the seat belt while she struggled with it, it had got stuck. He impatiently moved towards her side and helped her pull it and she turned with her hair brushing his face. His lips were very close to hers. She felt uncomfortable Shivaay realised quickly and moved back apologetically.

The drove was silence when Anika broke the silence as usual, almost suddenly though.

Anika-"Right.lijiye..."

Shivaay-"lekin ghar left pe hain.."

Anika-"Magar mandi right par hai..!"

Shivaay-"mandi..?"

Anika-"sabji mandi"

Shivaay-"no way no sabji mandi...tumne supermarket see kyun nhai lii sabji.."

Anika-"Wahan kii taazi nahi hoti issliye...jaldi se lijiye naa paas mein hi hain...waise bhi ghar par sabjiyaan khatam ho gayi hain."

Shivaay turned the car and stopped it at the starting of the mandi. He looked at the tacky market with a disgusted expression.

"You go and come fast..!I will be waiting here."

"Nahi aap bhi chaliye main akele itni sabji kaise carry karoongi"

"I don't know you manage it." he said least bothered.

"Dariye mat yahan koi bacha nahi hai..!"

Shivaay glared at her angry-"main kisi se nahi darta ..!!"

Anika-"toh chaliye..! Aap chal rahe hain yaan main kuch aur boloon aapko convince karne ke liye."

Anika started her lecture again Shivaay thought it was best to just tag along.

"Okay but make it fast." He parkee the car aside in the parking.

She literally made him a coolie carrying vegetables and fruit covers.

She was bargaining for 5 rupees. Shivaay gets mad at her but kwpt mum when she started lecturing him about how itvwas important to save every penny they could.

Poor Shivaay to himself-"I know yeh purposely aise mujhe treat kar rahi hain, mera bhi time aayega..! Then you wait and watch."

In the evening, shivaay was busy researching on Rana. When Anika knocked, he got to the door and she told him that she was going to the old-age home and would return by an hour or so.He nodded.

___________________________________________________

Ten Days passed and they do an awesomely fantastic job for Mrs.Gill making both her fashion shows a hit.

She and a few of her other friends were really impressed by their work and promised to remember them if an event comes up.

Anika was very happy, it was a great victory for her company.

Shivaay was also happy but his real happiness was yet to come when he would take back what belonged to The Oberois from Rana.

Anika kept a party for all the employees in the office itself, for making a brilliant achievement and convinced Shivaay to attend it along with her. He agreed reluctantly though.

P.S.
