They get ready and leaves for the dinner at Motu Restaurant which was a surprise for them by mrs.sarah.

Their outfit❤️

( Guys , Ik you all are jealous from where I get such amazing outfits 😂. Don't worry when I will end this FF , I will tell okay❤️😂 Till then guess)

They reach the restaurant and before going to table , waiter introduces them to the owner of this restaurant which was no other then , Mrs.Sarah . They have a small chatter. Shivika thanks her .
And now they are guided by waiter to their private area.

It was a beautiful table near seaside below open sky which was showcasing purple pink hues . The sky looked magic , it had ability to leave anyone spellbound . The smooth mixture of all royal shades of purple , pink and orange blended together to create this heavenly look .

" Maybe when artists dies , god lets them paint sky their way showcasing their talent to world which they couldn't when they were alive" , Anika says.

" Yeh mad Anika , philosophical bhi ho sakti han ?" , Shivaay smiles .

Anika was somewhat lost in her own thoughts . Shivaay puts his hand on her shoulder . She comes out of her lost states and look at him .  Shivaay raises his eyebrows to know what's wrong?

Anika in a nostalgic mode !

" Shivaay, mera nah ek friend ,'Rohit', we were chilhood friends. Best buddies , our day start and end together . He was only one who was alway there for me as my family never was . He was a born Artist . He made so many marvellous painting . The only sort of love , friendly love I ever got or felt was from him , I guess . It was his 16 birthday. He was out for one of his exhibition and I planned a surprise for him . I was waiting at his house at 12 . He didn't came . I sadly went home . Next day I came to his house , his house was locked . For many days I regularly visited his house but only a lock awaits for me .
But I never gave up and one day I found locked removed. I went in to find him but I just got his mother . I blasted her with all my questions, Auntyyy , where is Rohit ? Why he isn't picking up my calls ? Why he didn't contact me ? Why your house was lock ?
She calmed me ,gave me a glass of water and with a cold stare said me , ' Anika , he never liked you . Rohit never liked you as his friend or valued your friendship .He found you irritating. He hated you .He never wanted you As his friend but you were so persistent. He went to abroad for further studies. And before you ask me his contact details , he has told me to give it to anyone in this world but never to you . And don't ever try to contact me or visit this place again .'

Shivaay that broke my somewhat broken heart , a bit more . I couldn't believe what his mother just told me . My heart was literally shattered. How one can act so fake . How all our fun times couldn't mean anything. How all your trust and care can come shattering in front of you in just fractions of seconds.
But ... " .

She couldn't find her voice, she felt a lump in her throat due to going through that same emotionL wreck by remembering it again !

Shivaay saw her , she had tears in her eyes . He tried to calm her down . He made her drink water . "Anika it's past you don't need to think about this all . "

Anika-
Shivaay there's more to it . After three years when I was 18 , one day while on an outing in mall with Ishana , I saw Rohit sister, Ahana. Without thinking anything , I ran towards her . I was so excited that maybe now I will get a bit of information about him and I started asking questions, ' How is Rohit ? How much has he progressed in his art ? Why he didn't tell me anything?' ..... I wAs so lost in my question that I didn't noticed the changing look on Rohit sister face . To stop me , she held me by my shoulders ,gave me a jerk and with a straight face said ,' Anika , Rohit is no more . He is no more in this world ' . At that time my world came swirling around me , it seemed like everything just crashed . I couldn't breathe, what the hell did I, I just heard . I thought this is the worst things I could ever hear not knowing what's coming up next is ...is way more worst!

Her sis said ,' Anika , he died few minutes before his '16 Birth Day', his car met with an accident while he was coming back from exhibition. '

I was shocked or I should say more of torn apart rather then shocked. Something inside me just died while realisation came hitting me hard ! Indeed very hard. His mom lied . She didn't wanted me to fall weak .

Shivaay I still get goosebumps when I think of that incident. The only person I was truly attached left me ! Left without saying a goodbye to me. Left me alone while I had no explanation for it for 3 goddamn years . "

Shivaay was soothing her hair but looked into her eyes when she stopped.

Anika looked straight into his eyes !

Anika - Shivaay,you promise me you won't leave me ! Never ! I can't lose you , I just can't afford it . No one loves me and those who do leaves me . That's why I was so scared to feel any sort of emotions,you know ! I won't be able to handle any such loss ,again. Shivayyyyyyy ,ap nih jaege nah kabhie !

( with almost tears flowing from her eyes)
Shivaay pulled her into a tight hug , wiping away her tears ! Feeling the pain and fear clearly in her eyes .

" Anika , I will never leave you . Neither will I go nor I will let you go away from me ".
They just stood their tightly hugging each other , soothing each other pain .

Shivaay pov
Anika has gone so much in her life .
Her parents didn't cared about her , how much that have bruised her heart and mind as a child leaving permanent invisible scars on her inside .
The only person she had as a support system , which whom she was happy , left her ,all of sudden !
How alone ,sad and depressing she must have felt .
Maybe those would be the most rough years of her life .
No doubt , she was this rude , arrogant, angry girl with walls built so high around her heart when we first met .
How strong my baby girl is , acting so strong in front of world but hiding so many deep wounds on her soul.
No , she is not my baby girl , she is my warrior.
She has gone through enough,I won't let her be sad now !
Shivaay pov ends

Shivaay pulls Anika out of hus and holding both of her hands.

" Anika , I am really sorry for your lost . I wish I met you earlier in your life to take away all the pain , you went through alone in your life . But you know ,I never saw you giving up .

I have seen you handling tsunamis with a smile .
I have seen you battling, using neither words nor arrows just your pretty smile .
And that is just so amazing .
Like you had thousands of situations to burst out and fight and break down ,
But I never saw you doing that .
You can just gulp pain without even letting anyone else taste it .
That's so much of a trait of a pure soul .

It was alway you , your fight , your smile and a lesson for ahead.
But now I promise, you won't be alone ever . "

He kissed her forhead .

Anika invisible wounds soothed by his not less then magical words . She smiled and kissed his cheeks . Then they went to table .
It was night by that time .

Waiter come sand serves them glasses of water and other dishes .

Shivaay looked at glass of water and smirked , Anika notices !

Shivaay- Anika, wese we have some special connection with water ,right ?

Anika - Yea right, me throwing it on you ! We coming on our honeymoon on an island . And

Shivaay- And ?

Anika- And our scuba diving experience ,today ! ❤️

Shivaay- You know Anika , Water is everywhere and it goes everywhere .It seeps into everything. No matter how hardened a substance may be , water will soften it . Water purifies and cleanses just by washing over anything , clearing away all residues. Our love is like water itself .

Anika - Our love is surely like water . As both are just natural medium that carries message ,that flow instantly and silently bringing us together ,conveying what is left unspoken - the message from our hearts allowing us to flourish our relationship.

Shivaay was startled and what he was just able to say ," Marry me Anika , again".
