Shivaay was very much disturbed after noticing annika's picture , Arjun's , he was somewhere so sure of it . Seated outside the shell room inside where annika was speaking to Arjun , he closely inspected the scene going on in there .

From the start there was something which kept bothering him about Arjun and now his impulses pointed to hold top of the reach . The man seemed quite fine from outside , he spoke with annika normally and maintained the aura good but it couldn't stop shivaay from suspecting him though.

Soon they were out , annika was pointing out something on his file and explaining it while Arjun listened to everything keenly.

A- see you next tuesday then

Ar - yeah sure

He smiled cheerfully and walked towards the door only to be blocked by shivaay at the end . Annika was busy packing her things which were scattered like some garbage on the table .

Arjun rose his brows quizically .

Ar- yeah ?

S- I guess you wouldn't want to leave without your wallet.

Arjun frowned in confusion and inserted his hand inside his pocket on hearing shivaay's statement to only realize it was empty .

Ar- you , got it ?

He mentioned the words very slowly for shivaay just passed a quick nod and gave the wallet back .

The transparent sheet didn't posses something important beneath it , arjun verified it without showing any measure of desperation which was difficult actually. He then slowly looked up at shivaay who pretended very normal.

S- is anything else missing ?

Ar- the picture , mine

He suddnely muttered these words out of nowhere and shivaay grew intimidated.

S- you were saying ?

By then annika collected the bag and jogged towards shivaay but suddenly her slipper strap tore to peal off ,she lost balance and caught his arm at the perfect second though.

S - what happened?

A- nothing one sec

Shivaay clearly noticed how Arjun's arm which floated in air retreated back after when she landed up choosing shivaay for support .

While she worked to clasp a pin around the strap shivaay kept her waist snaked to provide her some balance , as she was actually standing on a foot . There was a good kind of smirk which played on his lips throughout.

A- done , come shivaay . Arjun , need anything ?

She asked him after seeing him still standing there quietly.

Ar- uhh no

S- nothing annika , he had missed his belongings back on the ground, I returned it. He got his things back .

Shivaay stressed the words clearly as if he was trying to put some lessons inside Arjun's head of how to differentiate between his and others possessions.

A- oh ok , bye arjun.

Gripping shivaay's hand with her's she marched out of the room after waving the other hand towards arjun who kind of fell sad and down .

Next day

C- bas

Ad- aise kaise bas , here have some more . Meri pyaari charu haina tu , moo koliye , koliye

Charu kept resisting until Adi finally succeeded in his feeding fantasy .

Annika who sat on the opposite side of these two cringed at the scene , making weird faces at them .

C - Adi enough,

Ad- charu we walked like miles everywhere to finally find this flats of yours . I don't want you to faint on our way back home , here have some . God knows what's so special about slippers .

A- haa haan , couldn't manage now itself right ? tho mera monkey kitna suffer karega shaadi ke bad . Hey bhagwaan ! ahh

Charu pinched her lap to stop her from sayin anything.

C- don't get so jealous my dear sis .

Ad- chalo chod . If you want to be fed , call you prince na . Why disturb our quality time ! Yelo , charu

Annika pretended to throw up when Adi once again tried pampering charu with some sweet words as he fed her the next morsel . Adi glared at her right at once .

Ad - too much yaar , jao tum I won't drop you . Find your own ride .

He twisted his lips and scowled hard at her while she made a big circle out of her eyes .

A- I shouldn't have agreed to shop with you guys at the first place ! Hmm, bulaungi mein apni Prince ko.

She immediately dialled for him . It rang , rang and it just kept ringing. He didn't pick up . Frustratedly she once again swiped the green and waited, behaving desperate .

Here shivaay was ofcourse busy with his own tasks in the laptop , he heard the ring but mentally asked it to wait for sometime. An important file was getting updated and he couldn't take his eyes of the screen yet . The recent trouble in his company started pointing that he still lacks something in running an organisation. Thus he was sure to be very clear and focused nowonwards , check things to the base ,and that's why he actually refused when charu called for this shopping day . ' Sorry charu , busy right now ' he said and hung up . Annika ended up with charu eventhough she had no time for it because charu pestered her much last night . Annika had to push the work to next shift so that she could roam at streets with her sister and dear friend all day . These two don't act cheesy everytime but when they start , it only gets overboard that annika really begins to note down the directions to restroom so that she could atleast not be confused when she wants to puke .

What is he doing ! She gritted her teeth and tried again .

Shivaay was getting super annoyed now on hearing the noise again and again. He picked the phone harshly and attended the call without even noticing the ID.

S- hello

A- hello baby

Adi choked and spat all the food in his mouth which straightly fell on annika's hand when she faked that voice to be extra sugary and extra girly . Especially that baby made even charu burst out in laughter . Annika's eyes pierced those two with a hundred of daggers .

Whereas , our speaker on the other side remained puzzled by this not so familiar tone .

S- sorry wrong number .

He hung up . Her eyes opened out for a second in shock but she tried to hide it and fake an act infront of these cunning people here .

A- haan baby , oh you're already on the road ?how sweet ! Ok yeah the same restaurant.

Noticing it was her , shivaay called back immediately.

A- come soon baby , I miss you ....!

' Kaun tune yoon pyaar karega , jaise mein karthi hoon ...'

She crushed her eyes at once when the ringtone started playing before she could end her skit . Adi and Charu had the same kind of face as if they were some identical twins . They smirked and smiled and did everything which irritated annika this moment .

A- worst prince.

She pressed the silent button and threw the mobile on the table for Adi collected it immediately.

A- don't

He winked at her and just did what she warned him not to .

Ad- hello shivaay !

Annika narrowed her eyes at his cheerful smug smile.

S- Adi ? where's she , and whose that silly man who spoke to me a while ago ? Some prank game going on ?

Adi chuckled aloud and put the speaker on so that everyone there could hear .

Ad - one sec one sec , yeah , what were you saying ? I couldn't hear you the first time .

He emphasised the words and showed his evil smile to annika who looked even more annoyed now .

S- no I was asking who called me first? Seemed like some man was trying so hard to sound like a girl. That creaky voice , who was it ?

A- man ?!!!

She banged the table in force and stood up in shock. Her extra sweet tone seemed like some man's voice ...? she was thrilled. Charu and Adi started laughing their stomachs out .

S- ani ? why are you screaming girl ? My ear hurts .

A- shivaay do I sound like a man to you ?

S- no not you

There was some immediate silence in the line for shivaay to realize what actually had happened . His eyes popped out soon .

S- annika I'm sorry I didn't . I mean I didn't know you were practising mimicry and all . Actually

A- bas shivaay , I'll send you the location. Are you coming to pick me up or shall I

S- no no I already started the engine , coming right away for you .

Stopping her inbetween he rhymed his train of words and jumped out of the room grabbing his keys . Long forgotten was that device called laptop which awaited for the owner who so hurriedly rushed to fetch his dear wife .

C - oh my god annika , I haven't laughed this much in recent days . Thanks much sister ...!

Again she started giggling and laughing with her head pressed to Adi's arm .

A- kingkongka!

She threw the shawl at her which landed on charu's head covering her face completely , and without waiting anymore she walked straight and ran upstairs .

Adi who saw this quietly had a small pout which his lips made before he wanted them to . He slowly peeled the cloth away from charu's face .

Ad - so sad yaar , chalo ab . Let's go to her .

Charu gulped her laughs in and took a sip of water .

C- I won't, you know how many times she has teased and laughed straight at my face ...ek baar ulta hogayi tho kya!

Ad- acha chalo na , dekthey hain . I heard the rooftop view is the best thing here . Come .

He tried to tag her along with reasons .

C- hmm, that's why this girl ran upstairs haan ? Uska innocent face dekke na even I felt sad for a second.

Ad- teek hai , chalo na

Holding her wrist , he dragged her towards the stairs .

After sometime , shivaay pushed the door open and entered in . Noticing Adi and Charu standing by the corner he jogged towards them , with his head making turns either way around in search of his wife.

S- where's she ?

They both only gave silence as the answer, he couldn't understand it though .

S- charu , what happened, where's annika ?

He asked it once again for the duo looked at each other helplessly .

C- don't know .

S- matlab ?

Ad- we couldn't find her .

Now shivaay was really pissed off with the way Adi expressed the phrase .

S- what do you mean couldn't find Adi ? She was with you guys even when I called right ?

C- yes , then she went upstairs . But we just found it empty , down know where she

S- ok why are we waiting then , let's check out everywhere. This girl ...!

He spoke with a little tense running up his head .

C- we already did , Adi has her phone so we can't contact her even .

Shivaay frowned and kept looking everywhere of every side where his sight could reach from the spot he stood .

S- this is a big building, the other floors ?

Ad - two party halls and 3 floors for hotel accommodations , we checked.

S- god charu she's too much sometimes ,your sister !

C - you remember that she my sister only at circumstances like these haina? Otherwise tere sweet annika hoti thi !

Shivaay cringed as she argued and so did Adi .

S- girls always have reasons and points to start instant arguments ,talent. No time for all this charu , sorry .

Muttering this he was about to rush but halted when she added something else .

C- my fault , I shouldn't have laughed and treated her like that .

Ad- me too .

He admitted with a long face .

S- what does that mean now ?

Shivaay watched the two suspiciously , and Adi soon narrated the happenings.

S- I'm sure she's not missing because of this, such silliness is not a part of annika's behaviour.

Ad - but where did she go ?

S- hmm look at this man asking the question to the most irrelevant person in the room , how would I know Adi ?

Adi didn't want to stand there and piss of shivaay anymore , he ran from there .

All the three searched for her everywhere. Once again they strolled up and down to every floor to check if she's near because even if she had decided to leave she wouldn't have gone without her bag which lied on the table still.

Adi shook his head on seeing shivaay staring at the room significantly.

Ad- you think she's inside there ?

S- yes maybe , don't know though.

C- party hall mei kya karegi vo

S- tumhari behen bi na, kahin bi kuch bi kar sakthi hai .

He sighed mentioning this and charu rolled her eyes .

C- shivaay not again

Ad - guys !!!

He screamed suddenly for charu almost remained startled and stumbled over her own foot , she gave him an immediate smack on his head .

S- what is it now ?

Ad - annika !

He shouted pointing out something through the glass window.

And there she stood , by the entrance , dodging the security guard with something.

C- what's she doing there by the way ?

She got late to know that the boys weren't near to respond back , they had already ran downstairs. Charu sighed on realizing it and followed them immediately.

A- please, help me find him . Cops ka duty hai , civilians ko help karna !

The guard was in the verge of crying when she dragged the words and kept repeating the same . By the time, the crew was already here . Annika looked so out of control and restless , shivaay went and caught her from behind when she slipped .

S- what's going on here annika ?

A- wow apne sach mei dun..d hi liya , without even moving from here ! Cop man m...agic man hai , thank you so much.

The security put up a fake grin when she shakes hands with him. Shivaay pulled her back with him. She didn't look normal , she kept blabbering to praise the man .

The three slowly did guess something .

S/C - you're drunk ?/ sharab piya tumne !!

Ad- really ,Vodka , gin ya whiskey ?

Adi exclaimed excitedly to soon receive a death glare from shivaay .

A- nahi paani tho piya meine .

She kept tottering for shivaay had to grip her from all sides around .

'Isme Prince kaun hai, aap?

Asked the guard with his so very naive eyes pointing Adi .

A- no way , he is monkey jiju . Mera prince tho yahan

She turned on either sides to look at his face , but he was busy dancing around every way his wife made the turn as he was attached behind her. She frowned.

A- saamne aa na !

Ad - vaise, why prince ?

He asked the gaurd with his curious eyes . And the person in turn silently passed a piece of paper back to him .

Adi and Charu cracked up after seeing the content on it , while shivaay looked really intimidated .

S- what is it ?

They still laughed for he was really loosing his patience now .

S- what did you do ?

A- kuch nahi

She pouted showing a clean innocent face , he shook his head and glared at her .

S- charu bathaogi kya hai ?

Ad- Prince description, face and physique like Hrithik roshan , style of Sharuk khan , hairstyle like Vin diesel

S- what !

Shivaay screamed running his fingers through his thick hair as if he was making sure he still had some of it on top .

Ad - joking yaar , hairstyle like Tom Cruise !

Shivaay immediately peeped and snatched that sheet from him .

Every feature was pointed to the name of a film star. The title of the diagram was labelled as Prince. Shivaay bit his lips and looked away fanning his face with that paper , he was kind of blushing by the way .

' aap hi boliye, she asked me to find some Prince with the help of the sheet . Aisa kahin hota hai kya ?'

Came his drained out defeated voice.

A- I saw your car but tum
..you weren't there . I thought tumhe koi kidn..ap kardiya , so I

She stopped there and started drawing patterns in air .

' whatever, thank god you've come . I got to use the washroom , it's very urgent . Please excuse me and take her from here , please !'

He begged before walking away , but halted in the middle and jogged towards shivaay suddenly .

' Prince saab aap haina ?'

S- haan

He responded hesitantly with an embarrassed face while his arms worked to gather her within when she stumbled again .

' vo pagal hai aapke liye'

The man expressed with much astonishment while shivaay nodded pressing his lips together.

S- jantha hoon .

' tho, chaltha hoon mein '

The guard vanished from there within seconds .

Ad - poor man .

S- anika chal ab .

He dragged her along to the parking area .

Ad- annika you still haven't told me what you drank .

C- shut up Adi !

A- mein bolrahi hoon na . Mein....I was rooftop jaa rahi thi . Par second floor mei hi bahut tired...thirsty bi . I saw a glass of water kept there, piya meine .

She stammered while trying to explain the scenes .

C- matlab party hall mei , I'm sure she drank some kind of champagne .

Ad - we searched there right , she wasn't there but .

C- obviously, she was down when we searched at rooftop and outside when we searched the entire building.

S- guys please, discussion ab nahi.

Annika was pulling him along as she danced and tripped for shivaay was loosing balance while he walked .

A- shivaay ...pata hai ye ...ye dono they troubled me so much today

Pointing her finger into his face she started complaining , with her terror glares shot at Adi and Charu.

Ad- ek minute saali haan, don't you forget your Prince had a big hand in the mission too .

Shivaay turned to kill him with his sharp eyes for Adi inturn hid behind charu .

S- annika, don't drag me annik , annika !

She stumbled upon the drainage lid there and tripped again, for he caught hold of her at the right moment. Both ended up falling on the bonnet of a car , she on top of him .

S- enough annika , utto ab .

He tried to get up but she resisted and kept him under her .

A- oooo

She exclaimed watching him in close.

S- what ?

A- I was so wrong! Eyes like Prince , body like prince , I should've written - everything like prince . Kyunki tumhare jaise tho koi bi nahi .

She started pulling his cheeks and took his lips between his fingers . Shivaay showed his embarrassed smile towards Adi and Charu asking them to carry on with their work .

Ad- enjoy enjoy .

C- bye shivaay .

Adi maintained that sheepish grin playing over his lips as he wished shivaay and left .

A- itna pretty kaise ho sakthe ho haan ?

She enquired after punching a kiss on his cheeks , shivaay couldn't hide the shy smile on his face though .

S- handsome bolo na

A- pretty hi bolungi.

S- teek hai .

He surrendered holding her tight, she moved like a worm up on his body . Staring straight at his eyes she watched him without making a blink . Shivaay smiled innocently.

S- kya huwa ?

A- I , love , you

She pecked his lips and before he could turn it to a nice fantasy kiss , she shut off and fell on his chest.

Shivaay sighed chuckling to himslef .

S- chaos ho tum annika .

No one acts more foolishly than a wise man in love 💘

Precap

Shivaay finds something about arjun .

Annika is upset as shivaay ignores her .
