"Now, there is no option left so just let's go to my room coz the boys are sleeping in your room Mallika" Anika claimed, Mallika and gauri agreed and then the girls went to Anika's cottage.

"Phew! it's very tiring and we need to go for shopping tomorrow." Mallika exclaimed and slumped on the couch, Anika smiled and suggested them to fresh up.

Anika ordered some food for themselves as she is still struggling with her culinary skills.

On the other side, "Guys you sleep. I have some work to complete." Shivaay said indulging himself in his laptop. After assuring everyone is asleep, he tiptoed out of the cottage and stood at the entrance of the cottage.

"I guess Anika might be coming now, mallika told Haider to shift to my room but Haider was adamant about staying here it self. So now the girls will be returning from the movie and obviously they'll think that we all are in my room. Yeah I can see Anika now. Three hours man. It's been three hours since I saw her.. Where is she? Why isn't she coming?" he was in thoughts walking like a pendulum to and from at the entrance of the cottage.

"What might he be doing now? I guess he is sleeping or maybe is working because he works till late night, I thought to check on him but Mallika pulled me out of the cottage. Damn!" Anika was busy in her thoughts while Mallika and gauri were sleeping.

"Where is she? Why isn't she not coming? Why aren't they not coming? What if they have returned back and went to our cottage? I guess I should just check." Shivaay muttered and walked towards their cottage.

He observed that the lights in the cottage were switched on and door is not locked, "Shit man! They returned now what should I do? I want to see Anika, should I just check on her what if she might be sleeping.  Oh! God let her sleep she must be tired. However, I'll meet tomorrow right. So relax shivaay." Shivaay pacified himself and left to the cottage.

Anika opened the door just to find none standing there, "This is so strange, I felt that Shivaay was here but alas no one is here. Hope he would be here. Anika shut up he might be sleeping, Now just go and sleep." Anika muttered under her breath and locked the door again.

Next day, When the sun rays hit shivaay's face, he frowned a little and opened his eyes turning to see Anika, but she wasn't there.

"Where did this Anika go?" he uttered and rubbed his eyes but then he realised that it's not their room, it's Haider's room and Anika will not be here, he face palmed himself and walked out of the cottage to find Haider and omru talking to eachother.

"Good morning guys." he wished and sat beside them, "Not good morning bhaiya. It's good afternoon, Now it's 12:00." Rudra spit it out.

"Fhat the wuck!" Shivaay screamed at top of his voice, Haider and om giggled.

"It's ok Shivaay you must be tired working all the day yesterday." Haider got his nerves down, "Where are the girls?" He asked with a hope glistening in his eyes.

"Bhaiya the girls left for Shopping two hours back." Rudra chided and chuckled at Shivaay's face which was worth watching.

"What the hell Shivaay? What's the need to sleep like a kumbkaran. Now, see she left and you didn't even see her from yesterday evening.  Shivaay you yourself spilled water on everything." Shivaay mentally cursed himself.

On the other side, "Anika what are you doing there, come here." Mallika yelled from the other side of the counter, Anika sighed and plastered a smile on her face.

"Bhagad billa. Daily, he wakes up early in the morning but today he didn't even bid bye to me. And, this mallika she won't let me see him only. Damn you man." Anika cursed him mentally and walked to Mallika.

"Hmm! What the hell I'm not able to concentrate on my work. If anika sees this then definitely she will taunt me." Shivaay mocked himself trying to concentrate on the arrangements but deliberately failed.

"Anika we are returning back to the cottage come." Mallika yelled standing at the doorstep of the trail room waiting for anika.

"Mallika you people leave. I need to meet my friend, So guys go. I will come back to the cottage later." Anika replied, Mallika mumbled an ok and left with Gauri.

After gauri left Anika went to the men's counter, "Bhaiya show some casuals." Anika said, the sales men nodded and showed some casuals.

On the other side, "Bhaiya, the Girls are back!" Rudra yelled, Shivaay eyes widen up in excitement and a small smile played on his lips, he left all the flowers he was holding and rushed up to Rudra to find Gauri and Mallika standing there but his eyes were searching for his heartbeat

"Where is she?" he wishpered to himself, "Anika didn't come back with us shivaay she went to meet her friend." Mallika revealed, he looked at her and nodded and left the place.

"Anika are yoh playing with me, if you would come back we would go together right." he mumbled and took out his phone to call her but it was switched off. He tried many times but answered with a switch off.

"Ma'am can I know sir's height" sales man asked, Anika smiled,"He is little taller than me" She answers playfully, the salesman giggled to receive a glare from her. "Oh god! this phone. Battery dead!" she muttered under her breath and sighed.

"Where the hell is she? And damn why did she switch off her phone?" he yelled in frustration in his room, some unknown fear gripped his heart.

"Why am I feeling that something is wrong. Anika now it's really scaring me where are you. Goa is not a place to be trusted." he feared and closed his eyes. He immediately took out his phone and called khanna

"Khanna immediately trace this number **********. And yeah I want the information in the matter of seconds got it" he ordered, hanging up the call and sat down with a thud.

It was raining heavily and Anika glanced at her watch, "Oh god! it's 10:00 how to reach back to the cottage now and its raining heavily and I didn't even get my umbrella." Anika face palmed herself and got drenched in the rain, She immediately called out for an auto and got into it.

"Sir, this number was last shown in xyz mall sir and we are not able to trace the number due to the weather conditions" Khanna informed, Shivaay threw away his phone in anger and another phone became a victim of his anger.
