Anika keeps checking the time. She had to leave by eight but the time turned Ten. She was collecting all the documents. Vivek smiled at her sneeringly when he was leaving which made the condition so worse. So anika took the laptop and made her way to the cafeteria to work there peacefully. Looking at her condition, Even shivaay felt so bad. 

"You can continue it on tomorrow..." - Shivaay said when she was crossing him. But she didn't reply to him but left the cafeteria. She didn't feel to go back to her home as she felt her home in the office having aru and shivaay next to her but she missed Avinash to an extent. She wishes he comes to his sister's office to meet his sister. But that didn't happen. But left swiping all the thoughts. She grabbed a coffee and sat on a corner with her laptop. On the other hand, Aru called Avi and told everything to him. 

"I don't know what they are up to? And the time is ten... Mom is still in the office working crazy..." - Arushi busted to Avinash who was equally confused on the other hand. 

"Di... I think we shouldn't have to interfere... Dad knows it well than us..." - Avinash said and Aru felt relaxed to hear dad word from him for the first time, But she didn't react to it. 

"Go and check on mumma di...  It's already late..." - Avinash added in a worried tone. 

"Yeah, I will..." - Aru said and rested the phone. 

"Telecast over..." - Shivaay asked her when he noticed her talking with Avinash. 

"Telecast?" - Aru asked him confusingly. 

"You told everything to your brother whatever happened in the office today... You were literally telecasting everything to him..." - Shivaay clarified her with a smile. 

"Accha... Basic things in media... If i show him the video of what happened in the office, It's called telecasting.  And i have just told him in a voice call, So Technically it should term as broadcast... My god, CityBee Channel head, didn't even know the difference between Telecast and Broadcast!?!" - Aru asked shivaay who bites his tongue and smiled at her. 

"You're there, Know... To correct me... Always" - Shivaay asked her. 

"Yeah, Will be there with you always..." - Aru told, Without her knowledge, Tears clouded her eyes, She couldn't stop herself from hugging him. He was confused but didn't fail to console her. 

"What happened, Aru?" - He asked while caressing her hair. 

"Nothing... Just missed you..." - She told and broke the hug. 

"But I am here, right in front of you..." -  Shivaay asked while wiping off her tears. 

"But you were not there for the past Twenty-nine years..." - Aru said Shivaay felt the slight pain in his heart when she saw her in tears. For shivaay, He still sees her as a little-naughty daughter of him who still sleeps while hugging her father and holding his index finger. But when he felt Aru's condition without him in these years. He couldn't tolerate the pain. 

"Leave it... Now you both are there with us... What shall i ask god more than this?" - Arushi said with a smile and went out of the cabin. 

"Where are going?" - He asked. 

"I have more responsibilities than you... Cafeteria... coffee?" - Aru asked while winking her eyes. 

"Have it with Anika... Spare me..." - Shivaay said cheerfully. 

"well, we will enjoy our cappuccino with five cubes of sugar and chocolate sauce... Wanna join?" - Aru asked shivaay. 

"I don't want to admit in the hospital because of sugar rush... Go ahead and enjoy..."- Shivaay said dramatically. She directly went to the cafeteria. Anika got immersed with the work, she recognized it once. 

"I think you need this..." - Aru gave the coffee and sat next to her. After a long time, Smile appeared in her face, she stopped working and took the coffee from her hand. Tasted it. 

"Oh my god, It's how the way i like it..." - Anika exclaimed when she tasted the coffee. 

"Actually my mom likes this in this way..." - Aru said and Anika got stuck in the time. Her heart ached when she called her mom for the first time. Anika's happiness was out of boundaries but she didn't show them on her face. 

"Five cubes of sugar with chocolate sauce in her coffee... when i tasted it, It became my favourite too..." - Aru said while taking a large sip of coffee. Anika couldn't swallow the coffee when she started to talk about her mom, About her. 

"People says know, Like mother like daughter... It's hence proved in my case..." - Aru said with the smile.

"Your mom!?!" - Anika questioned her. Arushi exhaled. 

"Yeah, My mom... Initially, Nothing was well between us... I stayed away from my mom, Mom and dad got divorced, and Acchaa got my custody, we moved to Italy..." - Arushi said while recalling the past.

"Then?" - Anika asked. 

"Then what, The usual, Even though they got divorced, They can't stop loving each other... And my father is a complete idiot, He wasted his seven years of life... And also separated me from my mom..." - Arushi said while sipping the coffee. Anika could completely agree to the fact that her father is a complete idiot, she felt happy but she didn't show them on her face. 

"Because of that miscommunication and slight insecurity, I hurted her a lot when they finally get back together after seven long years..." - Arushi said in a low tone. 

"Hey! It's okay... After all, you're her daughter, She must have forgiven you..." - Anika said when she saw her in a hurted state. She nodded and looked aside, Anika turned towards her and held her palms. 

"Aushi... come on..." - She said and cheered up her mood. 

"I have something for you..." - Anika said and opened her bag, Gave her a bar of dark milk. 

"Dark chocolates..." - Arushi exclaimed. 

"Have this chocolate, Don't think much... Wherever your mom, She will definitely feel proud of you... Seriously, The Managing Director of the CityBee international... If she's here, She definitely says you're the best daughter in this entire universe..." - Anika said while cupping her face, She held up her tears.

"You think so..." - Arushi asked her. 

"Yeah, She will... I swear... Who will take care of their siblings like their children and I learned, How much you're attached with Avinash. You're not only the best daughter, Best sister and Also Best mother..." - Anika said with a proud. 

"Yeah, Best mother, Both Avinash and Jahaan are my kids..." - She said but the lowness in her voice captured by anika, she didn't ask anything after that. 

"Oops sorry, I am interrupting your work..." - Arushi tried to change the topic, Before she posses another question. 

"I finished it...And also mailed it to that idiot..." - Anika said. 

"What did you say?" - Arushi asked her with a slight smile. 

"Head... Branch head..." - Anika immediately corrected it. 

"I think you got a message from the portal..." - Arushi said and pointed her finger to shivaay's message. 

Come to my Cabin, ASAP.  - SHIVAAY. 

My shift is over, Sorry... Bye, Good night... - ANIKA. And closed the laptop with a thud. Arushi jerked in a shock with her reaction. 

"Okay, I am leaving, Aushi... See you tomorrow???" - Anika asked her in a confused tone. 

"Every day... I am staying here for a while..."  - Arushi said with a smile. Taking her laptop, She waved her bye. 

Shivaay saw her troubling with her scooty in the parking lot, He came to help her, Before he comes, Her scooty started and she crossed him with a grumpy face. Shivaay couldn't stop himself from adoring her. She reached her home in twenty minutes. She was smiling continuously but when she entered the house, Her smile faded away when she saw Daksh in his house waiting for her. Anika's father glared at her for coming late but daksh seems to be cool. Where on the other hand, Arushi and shivaay entered their apartment. 

"How was your first day?" - Avinash asked shivaay. 

"Smooth..." - He said and moved to his room with a smile.

"She's my mom, Keep that in mind..." - Avinash told him but he didn't turn toward him. 

"What happened to you?"- Avi asked Aru when she saw her smiling like a maniac. 

"Happy, My baby brother..." - Arushi ruffled his hair, Seeing her jahaan stopped painting and came towards her. Aru caught her in her arms and twirled her. Jahaan started to laughs hysterically. Shivaay came outside hearing her laughing sound. 

"Something got inside her head..." - Avinash exclaimed to shivaay but shivaay knew the reason behind it. 

"Let her be, Her mom said she's the best daughter... it's okay to be happy..." - Shivaay said. 

"Mom said... She remembered everything!?!" - Avinash asked him shockingly. 

"No... But she said, My mother, will definitely feel proud of me... It means, She's proud of me..." - Aru told him while stop twirling Jahaan. 

"Don't fly higher... I am her all-time favourite..." - He said with a sort of jealousy. 

"Jealous cat... Okay had dinner..." - Arushi asked jahaan who nodded no at an instant. Avinash became grumpy.

"I saw one mid-night restaurant, let's go there... My treat..." - Arushi said. 

"For what? Your award..." - Avinash asked. 

"Come on..." - Arushi called him. She asked about om and Gauri and came to know they went to Bangalore for some work and they will return the next day. Shivaay accompanied the trio with a smile. Jahaan sat with Arushi in the back seat, shivaay was in the passenger seat and Avinash was driving. 

"Which restaurant?" - Avi asked. 

"Shaack" - Aru said. He typed the details and Siri directed them to that restaurant. They entered the restaurant, Shivaay took Jahaan in his arms. They found a table for them in a corner and moved towards that place. Even though shivaay enjoying the time with them. In the corner of his heart, He's badly missing Anika. 

"Is that mom?" - Avinash exclaimed when she saw entering the restaurant in her yellow kurthi and open hair, But her eyes were tired.  Shivaay turned at the door at an instant. She saw her coming with daksh and her face was very dull than usual. 

"Is that Neel Chatterjee?" - Aru asked avi. Both shivaay and Avinash hmmed. They took the table close to the door. 

"What's happening?"- Aru asked. Shivaay stood up from his place when he held her palms and her expression changed at the very next second. 

"Accha... where are you going?" - Aru asked him when she saw him going to the table. Anika's eyes widened when she saw him coming towards her. Avinash eyes were fixed with anika.

"Hi... Anika..." - Shivaay called her casually. 

"Hi, Shivaay..."- Anika tried to be casual.
