~Anika's POV.~

It's really tough for me to live without Ri. I have never leave her alone after our parents death. After taking a hot shower I'm ready for my office. I get down and found Era massi with breakfast. Having my breakfast I left for office. I'm attending my office after 6 days. I entered into my cabin ignoring all the greetings. I called my P.A Lia and asked her about all the working progress, she also informed me about some meetings.

L: mam you have also meeting with Sinhas.

A: Abeer Sinha?

L: Yaa mam, you have meetings with them after 1 hour.

A: okay you go..

Lia left the cabin and I started thinking that what is Abeer's intention.

After an hour Lia knocked the door and informed about Abeer's arrival. Abeer entered my cabin with a smirk on his face. He extended his hand to shake with mine. I also extended my hand he held my hand, he wasn't leaving my hand so I get my back removing his hands from mine.

Ab: so how are you Anika.

A: it's Ms. Malhotra for you.

Ab: okay. So let's talk about the deal.

We started talking about the deal and after an hour the meeting ends.

A: so Mr. Sinha we are ready for the deal.

Ab: okay so the deal is final and meet you tomorrow at the party.

He left the cabin and I remembered about the business party in which all the CEO's and big businessman's are attending. Then Shivaay will also attend the party, I'll get to met him tomorrow. Stop it Anika.. What happened to you? Why are you thinking about him this much!

~Shivaay's POV~

I was checking some file when my P.A reminds me about tomorrow's business party. Anika is also going to attend the party. I'll get to met her again. I'm really excited to met her.

Next Day

I was thinking to call Anika as she is also attending the party so I thought to pick her up. After thinking a lot I dialed her number, after 2 rings she picked up the call.

S: hey Anika.. How are you?

A: I'm fine Shivaay.. What about you?

S: fine.. So are you attending the business party tonight?

A: yes, you're also coming right?

S: yeah. Anika, if you don't mind can we go together? I mean.. We both are attending the party that's why.. I told you... If you have any problem then it's fine...

A: Shivaay what happened to you? I don't have any problem in going with you. (Giggling)

S: okay so I'll pick you up at 7: 00pm.

A: okay I'll be ready.. So, see you tonight..

S: see you.

I cut the call and start smiling, now I'm just waiting for the evening.

It's 6: 30 and I'm ready in for the party. I grabbed my car key and leave for Malhotra Mansion. At sharp 7:00pm I'm at the Malhotra Mansion. I was waiting for Anika and scrolling down my phone when I heard some sound, I looked at the direction and my stuck on the beauty in front of me. She was looking devine in saree and both of our clothes are color coordinated.

She was coming towards me while tucking some hair strands behind her ear. She stood near me and her cheeks were slightly red.

A: hi..

S: hello.. You're looking beautiful..

A: thank you.. You're also looking handsome..

S: I know I'm handsome.. (Winking at her) now let's go..

She nodded and we left for the party.

~No one's POV~

After 20 minutes they reached the venue. Shivaay, like a gentleman opend the car door and Anika came out muttering a Thank you. Both entered the party together and all the media move towards them. Ignoring all the questions they both entered the party. Abeer was also present at the party so after looking Shivaay and Anika together he gets angry.

Anika and Shivaay both were talking to the other people when Abeer move towards Anika.

Ab: how are you Anika?

A: I'm fine Mr. Sinha and I think I told you to call me Ms. Malhotra.

Ab: but I think Shivaay calls you Anika. Is there something between you and him?

A: just shut up and mind your own business.

Anika shouts at him and moves towards the bar counter. Shivaay saw all the scenes and he also moves towards her. He went near her and he was shocked to see the scene in front of him.

Precap- Shivaay and Anika in Malhotra Mansion.
