Where one side Shivaay was all flustered up with Rahul and Annika, the other end was Daksh. Though Annika knew how this Baggad Billa reacts and she also knew how to deal with him. Though she knew he never treated her as an equal but still she affected him how he affected her. Daksh was a completely new topic and her women instincts had already kicked in as soon as he had kissed her hand and she wanted to run away miles away. However during the conversation Daksh , Rahul , Rudy , Om and she were having she realised he wasn't as bad as he seems. He may have the creepy look but still he spoke very calmly and was very gentlemanly. She had guys who were like buddies like Rahul and Rudy but Daksh was more like the chivalrous types and this sort of attention was new to her. She had also wanted the attention but from a certain someone but since she was getting it from Daksh she didn't stop him but didn't read too much into it thinking he is just being himself. ( oh how wrong would she be proved)

Daksh was smirking looking at Annika starting to get comfortable around him. As soon as he had left last night to his room he had tried to get all the information about her. He was making all the devilish plans to trap her knowing she was staying alone but he had to wait cause she would be back in her house only after the Oberoi wedding and hence he had to be nice till then. So he made a few changes in his plan to be the gentleman and win her over and then bring her to his bed.

The group was indulged in some conversation and laughing when Shivaay strode into the pool side area instantly Annika looked up and they had an eye lock, his eyes emoting a different feeling which had left her all heating up and she immediately looked away. Shivaay smirked looking at her and walked up to the group. He landed himself on the plush seating opposite them when Rudra noticed him, " Bhaiyya when did you come, join us we are finalising shopping for Priyanka wedding and also making plans of all that we need to do, Annika didi has some awesome ideas and we can also finalise on our clothing".

Shivaay just hummed and Rudra passed him the folder of all the designs Annika had shortlisted. Shivaay had made up his mind that he would make Annika blurt out her feelings as he knew how she looked at him and what she felt. Everytime they had come close they had ended being intimate in someway or the other and she had never pushed him. So he had decided to push her a little more and take their relationship further and give it a status.

When he saw the designs she had finalised he had liked them instantly but rejected them saying, " these are nice but not my class". When he looked up he saw Annika face turn pale and he realised what a mistake he committed. He was supposed to bring a smile but just ended up hurting her. Daksh immediately smirking said , " I liked the designs can you order them for me". Though Annika was upset she smiled and this angered Shivaay more.

He immediately got up and walked out not before texting Annika informing her he needs new designs sent to him tomorrow morning before 8am. Entering his room Shivaay was so frustrated with everything he threw his phone breaking it into a number of pieces.

Next morning Annika was about to enter Shivaay room when she heard the conversation between Om and Shivaay.
"What are you saying Shivaay?" Om was astonished with the all that was being told to him. "Relax Om am just saying that she needn't come today, I don't want the Malhotra's to think that we tag along everyone from our house everywhere and anyways it doesn't matter she is just an employee and a middle class person. I don't want Malhotra's to think anything wrong about Priyanka or us". Shivaay said casually not realising that his words were being heard by not one but two more people.
Annika knocked the door and entered. Shivaay could guess that Annika had tears but didn't know the reason and just looked at her. She explained about all the new clothing design and left.

In the evening the entire Oberoi family was going to Malhotra mansion for the puja before the wedding functions start. Annika had made an excuse and had not gone with the Oberoi's ( so we know she is one of the person who had heard the talk between Shivaay and Om). She was all alone at home and was finalising some decorations for the functions when suddenly the lights started flickering....
