After 2 years.

2012, Always been a terrific year to everyone. Despite being a leap year, It also carried many fears. Oh my god! The world is going to end. Mayon already knew it, That's why they stopped the calendar at the date of 21st December 2012. Even everyone said there are no possibilities but we never failed to loose the patience when the last month of 2012 Approached.

During this leap, Everything leaps in everyone's life. Anika promoted as Video producer within 6 months. Successfully traveling he 20th country. And shivaay created his own home in India. He started a start-up with David who settled with him leaving the US of A. He didn't ask for financial help from his family but seeing his enthusiasm, His dadi decided to help. When he denied, She asked him to take it as a loan. He agreed to her.

From that moment, He started to fly with the help of a blessing to predict the future. He knew to invest in which thing. He started a food-delivery app Aneat, First only for Delhi. After a year it expanded to metropolitan cities. They have a total of 40 billion daily customers for his app. Everyone wondered, How a 22-year-old could take a wise decision like that. But the only shivaay knew, He's a well developed 32 years old man who experienced almost everything in this world who crossed everyone and technically initiated the digital evolution.

As per his word, He returned the money to his dadi along with the interest but she denied taking it back. Instead, She bought a luxurious apartment in the center of the city and gifted it to him. When she gave it as a gift, He couldn't deny. Everything was working great, But he still feels incomplete because of anika's absence. Last time He saw her in person when she departed to India from Los Angels. And he tired of seeing her in the small rectangle screen. But he never complained to her about that.

"Shivaay, You can't measure how much I am happy for you. You mean the best start-up of the year to Aneat. Oh my god, It's the best day of my life." - She exclaimed in happiness. And he could read her face, That she's missing him as much he does. He kept the phone in the counter slab of his kitchen while cooking his dinner.

"By the way, What are you doing?" - Anika asked him. Shivaay took the phone and faced it to the Chicken Tikka gravy which was boiling in the pan.

"Chicken Tikka Masala." - He said while facing the camera to the pan.

"Move the phone away, And stop tempting. Forgot I am in Seoul and You're in India. How could you do this to your girlfriend?"- Anika asked him. He laughed hysterically.

"And how's your food and travel show going?" - He asked her in-return.

"Like it always does. Smooth." - She sounded low when she said that.

"Now, What happened to my love?" - He asked her.

"huh. I am feeling like trapped. It has been almost two years since I came to India. It's thrilling but I am missing everyone. You, Pappa, Bhavya, Rudy, Everyone." - She spelled out. She almost repeated it for the fourth time. Even he was desperate to see her. But he knew his new show was on the process even she says missing him, She won't run away from responsibility.

"Baby! Relax. After finishing that show, Even you wish, I won't let you stay there. I will snatch you back to Delhi. I swear." - He said over then the dish which was in his spoon fell on his white shirt.

"Oh shit." - He exclaimed and took off his shirt in an instant and moved towards the sink to clean the mess in his shirt. Had to turn when he heard Anika's heaving out sound from his phone. Closing his tap, He moved towards his phone shirtless.

"Madam, What happened?" - He asked her. But her eyes fixed on his newly built abs. She cupped his cheek and check him out with a worried face.

"At least be happy while checking out." - He chuckled at her.

"You men will never understand the feelings of the girls who are miles away from their boyfriend. Shivaay, I really can't come, But you can. Why can't you show some mercy on me?" - She asked him while groping her hands above her head. He couldn't stop himself from laughing, But he felt the same. Whenever he plans, Something stops him, Either his investor meeting or any family emergency. He didn't want to share it with ani that her father's sugar and blood pressure level fluctuation in recent times.

"I know, I can. But you know right, Ani. You know my situation, Right." - He asked her who nodded hesitantly at him.

"Is I am the only one who dreams about you every time?" - Anika asked him out of patience.

"No. You are the only one who's saying it openly." - Shivaay said.

"What am i doing in your dream?" - Anika asked sheepishly.

"You're just responding to whatever I was doing." - Shivaay said and Anika rolled her eyes in shock.

"You were moaning when I inward my hands from your thighs and moved upwards, Upwards, Until I." - He started in a very sensual tone but Anika couldn't match his eyelids when he was saying that and Shivaay's eyes fixed on Anika's.

"Stop." - Anika stopped him. Her hands came to her eyes and covered it.

"You are the one to ask me, Remember?" - He asked her while controlling his smile.

"It doesn't mean you can talk dirty to me, Perv." - She said while covering her eyes.

"And I also know, You're also vulgar in your dream. Please stop playing innocent. You're not innocent anymore." - He said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, You may right. I am not scared anymore." - She accepted.

"Thanks to me." - He praised himself. She flushed.

"Anyway leave that topic, I have called to say thanks to you." - She said.

"For what?" - He asked.

"Papa praised you, And thanks for filling my absence." - She told, Her tone became sweeter than usual.

"Nobody is filling your absence. Everybody missing you to an extent. Papa and Bhavya were desperate to see you once in person. Come soon. And you know what I come to know?" - He said.

"What?"

"Both Rudy and Bhavya did the interiors to this apartment. And it's super classy." - He exclaimed in surprise.

"FYI Mr. Oberoi. I knew it before." - Anika replied.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" - He asked her.

"Because it's the first project together, And they need genuine reviews from you, If i say they did it, You might hide their mistakes, Know. That's why?" - Anika said.

"But seriously, I have no complaints. You know how I came to know. David called me and asked me to prefer someone for interiors since he bought a new flat near to our place. I just casually asked Rudy about this and he became so happy. I never saw him happy like this." - He explained everything to her.

"Even Bhavya sounded so happy." - Anika replied.

"They seem so close together. Don't you feel it ani?" - Shivaay asked her.

"It's because they have been raised together and they both are in the same age. Stop your time machine, Mr. Oberoi. There's nothing between them." - She said in a one go.

"Not now, But In the future, Who knows?"

"Why are we gossiping about others, Mr. Oberoi. When we have many things to talk about." - She asked while keeping her hands in her cheek.

"Yeah, You are in Seoul, Did you ever had the opportunity to meet Lee min ho?" - He asked. She exhaled in worries and nodded no.

"But I have gone to public Spa. And became one of them with a bunch of naked ladies. You know, After a long time, Relaxed." - She said while leaning back in her chair.

"Wow, Ani. Enjoying your life. But be careful, Okay." - He said. She nodded positively to him.

"Ani, I have sent you a link to your phone, Download that app." - He said. She took the phone from the side table and downloaded the app. She was surprised to see that app named Shiv ❤️ Ani.

"Have you made this app?" - She asked him.

"Yup, Just install it," - He said. When she installed google Maps opened and both of their locations marked in the google map. From Seoul to Delhi. There was a golden color rope tied from his location to anika's location. When Anika clicked his location, It zoomed in a little bit and his message hit her ears.

"Hey baby, Only 2914 miles away." - It was in shivaay's voice.

Tears welled up in her eyes when it played his message but she didn't let it down. She looked at shivaay.

"Now press your photo, And record your message for me." - He said and She muted the screen and pressed her photo which was in Seoul and zoomed into the location where she stayed. She recorded it. And shivaay played the message when she got

"I love you too, Baby" - Her message hit his ears. He chuckled but it didn't fail to touch his heart.

"Oh my god, How?" - Anika asked him after unmuting her screen.

"You're forgetting that you're dating a software engineer." - He replied in a swag.

"If you're done praising yourself, Will you open the door, I guess my order arrived. And please wear your shirt. It's cold outside." - She said He was confused. He moved towards the door. He opened to see his ANEAT's delivery guy present there with his food.

"Your order, sir." - He said and the order was prepaid. He took the parcel moved towards the kitchen where his laptop present and anika is online.

"I told you, Right. I have made dinner for me." - He hesitated.

"Baby, It's not the main dish but something else." - She said Shivaay's face flushed when he opened the order and found Chocolate brownie ice-cream there.

"Since I am not there physically, Why can't we have some real ice-creams." - She said and took her ice-cream bowl from the side table to shivaay's vision.

"Cheers, Mr. Oberoi. And thanks for the gift." - She said.

"Cheers, Ms. Trivedi. And I miss you too." - He said while kissing his ice cream bowl. Anika couldn't stop smiling. But soon the loneliness hit them when she rested the skype call. And again distance made them realize how much they are sincere about each other.
