Do you think Shivaay will be there at the charity drive asked Anika

I doubt it. Your husband has not been making any public appearances.

My ex husband reminded Anika.

How was the doctor's appointment?

It was fine. Everything is good.

I am glad. Now let's discuss our strategy. We go to the drive at around 5. Bakshi will definitely be there. I talk to him about my ngos and offer him a profitable.employment opportunity.

Do you think he'll leave the Oberoi's to join you?

I have my doubts. But let's see todays the first day.

I can't wait for all this to be over and move to Pune.

We'll be meeting Kabir post the charity drive. He'll be giving an update about your case.

At the Charity drive:

The Oberois had arrived for the charity drive. Jhanvi was very fond of such events and regularly organised and contributed to them. Shivaay hadn't come of course. He rarely showed up for events post his divorce.

When Anika arrived at the event with Samar, she hadn't expected the media to surround her the way it did. Though the media frenzy had persisted months after her divorce, she rarely felt the brunt of it as she lived in a chawl. The media was only interested in covering the glamorus Oberoi's so they focused on Shivaay's life after his divorce which is why photos of Ragini and Shivaay were all over the news.

However, the presence of Anika at the charity drive changed all this. Not only was the ex wife of Shivaay Singh Oberoi at a high profile charity event, she was accompanied by none other than by SamarJeet Malhotra, a rich business tycoon recovering from the recent loss of his wife.

Oh god! What's happening, Samar?

The media has gone crazy. I was told that Kashyaps won't be allowing the them at the premises but apparently they are. Fuck, they are going to have a field day about this.

Shoukd I get back in the car?

No, that'll just draw more attention. Keep your head up and follow my leave.

Mr. Malhotra, why are you at this high profile event with the ex eife of Shivaay Singh Oberoi who is dating your sister Ragini Malhotra? Are you two together?  A reported asked Samar as Anika and Smaar entered the event.

What rubbish! Anika is my employee. She has been helping me take care of my charitable initiatives such as as the NGO that I have founded in memory of my late wife. And as for Ragini and Shivaay, they are good friends as far as I know.

But Mr. Samarjeet

No questions for now. This is a charity drive, not a fashion show. We are here to do good . Come on now, Anika.

Miss Anika, how does it feel to work with tour ex gusband's business rival asked a journalist.

Anika chose to remain silent and followed Samar's lead. Soon enough, they had spotted Bakshi's assistant.

If his assistant is here, then he is also definitely here. Let's keep an eye out advised Samar.

Heads up Anika...Jhanvi Oberoi is headed here.

Jhanvi knew the truth about why Anika did what she did.

Hello Samar! Do you mind if I have a moment alone with Anika.

Of course not, Mrs. Oberoi replied Samar.

Plase call me Jhanvi. Samar nodded and left the two women alone.

How are you Anika?

I am good Jhanvi aunty.

I hope you know whay will happen when Shivaay comes to know that you wer ehere with Samar. Is there something going on between the two of you?

Not at all, Anika replied defensively. I have my reasons for working for Samar.

If you need money, Anika, Shivaay owes you alimony. You can always...

I don't want money. There are some things money can't buy. I have to go Jhanvi aunty. Give my regards to Om, Rudra and Gauri.

I will.

The charity event failed to live upto Anika and Samar's expectations. Bakshi had to cancel at lost moment so they couldn't meet him.

I can't believe that asshole didn't show up said Samar.

Next time, he won't be so luck replied Anika with vengeance in her eyes.

I have never seen you like this Anika.

I want my Chutki Samar, at all costs.

We'll find her together then.
