Anika was really tensed about Shivaay. It was already 11:30 p.m. She was continuously calling Shivaay but his phone was not reachable. Rudra was also with her to console her.

A- Why his phone is not reachable?

She sits on the sofa with her hand on her forehead.

Rudra tries to console her.

R- Didi, please don't take tension. Bhaiyya will be fine. I think he must have stuck in some work.

A- But he should have informed someone.

Her voice was choked due to crying so much. Suddenly doorbell rings and Anika runs towards the door to open it. She opens the door and finds Shivaay there with tired eyes and his shirt was covered with blood.

She sighs in relief to see Shivaay was fine.

A(Sighs)- Shivaay.

She hugs him with such force that he was about to fall with her but he balances himself and hugs her back.

She starts to cry badly while hugging him. Shivaay caresses her head and rubs her back to calm her down.

S- Anika, What happened? Why are you crying?

But she was not ready to stop crying. She tightens her hold on him. After sometime, her cries turn into little sobs. Shivaay releases her from hug and looks at her teary face.

He holds her from shoulder and takes her in living room and make her sit on the sofa and sits beside her.

Rudra brings a glass of water and gives it to her but she denies. Shivaay takes the glass from his hand and forwards it to her mouth. She looks at him and takes a sip from the glass. Finally she calms down.

S- Why were you crying Anika? What happened?

Rudra leaves from there to give them some privacy.

A- Where were you Shivaay? You know I was so tensed for you. I was waiting for you. Your phone was also not reachable. So many bad thoughts were coming in my mind. You know if you would have not come by now, I would have die....

She was not able to complete her sentence as Shivaay palmed her mouth. She looked at him with teary eyes.

S- Please don't talk like this.

She again hugs him. Shivaay caresses her head.

She breaks the hug and look at him. She finally notices the blood on his shirt and panics.

A- Shivaay, blood. Are you hurt somewhere? Oh God so much of blood? How?

She says while frantically checking him if he is hurt somewhere.

S- Shhh.. Anika calm down. I am not hurt. Actually my colleague met with an accident so I took him to the hospital. I think while taking him to the hospital, my shirt got this blood stains. I was with him at the hospital. I thought to call you but my phone's battery was dead and then I forgot to call you. I am sorry. It will not happen again.

A- Its okay. Did you have your dinner?

Shivaay nods in no. Shivaay asks the same to Anika, she also nods in no. Shivaay frowns.

S- Anika, how can you be so careless? I have told you not to skip your food then also you skipped it now come we will have food together.

Anika was reheating the food, when Shivaay comes after freshening up.

He takes Anika's hand and takes her to the dining area and makes her sit on the chair.

S- Sit here. I will get the food.

A- But, Shivaay...

Shivaay glares at her and she keeps her index finger on her lips. Shivaay chuckles at her childish behaviour and leaves towards kitchen to bring the food. They have their food and retires to bed.

Shivaay immediately sleeps after getting on the bed as he was really exhausted. But Anika was not getting sleep and was lost in her deep thoughts.

A(thinks)- I have to talk to Shivaay and tell him the whole truth. I cannot keep him in darkness. After today's incident, I have realised one thing that I cannot lose Shivaay. Maybe Gauri was right that I have some feelings for him. I don't know if Shivaay feels something for me or not. If he doesn't feel something for me then I will not spoil our friendship by putting my feelings for him. I will talk to him in the morning.

She was determined to tell him the truth in the morning unaware of the upcoming storm which is going to change her life forever.

PRECAP- Entry of evil in the happy life of Shivika.
