Te: but shivaay , today we have a very important meeting...

Tia : shivaay baby where r u going...For how many days ...Can I accompany u...It's been so many days ...That we have not spend some lone time like we used to do...

She was saying last line ...Smirking at anika

Sh : first of all...I m not bound to tell u anything secondly no I will not take u anywhere with u...Third...We never spent alone time till today...And last but not least...Keep ur mouth shit...

Tia was looking at him embarrassingly and other were giving her victoriously...Except pinki and anika...

Pinki she don't understand what should she say...

Tia mouth got shut by anika's reply

Kh : (shocked) sid...When...

Ka : he was having meeting in same hotel where I went to ask for catering..

Kh : did he asked anything or did u tell him anything about us..

Ka : no ...But I was feeling guilty for hiding...
(Tia who was passing ...Heard this line and stopped there to listen )

Kasak continue..
U know how much she mattered to him...There was no spark in his eyes...Like he used to have ...This is all confusing...I don't know what is happening around me...Everything messed up...Everyone changed ...But I have no idea...

Kh: I understand ur situation but we can't do anything ...She don't want...Don't tell her anything now...

Ka: ok..I will not tell her ...But atleast we can tell him...U know if he will come to know...Everything will be easy...

Kh : what u think I don't want to do this...Every time I look at her ...I just want to run and tell them everything...Tell him...But she is not hiding only from him...But from herself too...

Ka : I m not understanding ...y she is doing this to her self ...When she loves him so much...U know I have seen in her eyes...longingness for him...She loves him...Than why...ANNIE IS DOING THIS TO HIM...ANNIE LOVES HIM AND HE TOO...HE CAN'T LOVE ANYONE MORE THAN HE LOVES ANNIE...AND HE STILL DO AND SHE TOO...😥😥😥

Kh : don't worry everything will be fine soon...

Car...

There is a comfortable silence in car...

Shivaay decide to break the silence..

Sh : are u comfortable...

An : yes i m...

Sh : okk...u know its been a long time i m going to that place...

An : why...i heard that villages are completely different from cities...

Sh : heard means?? Did u mean u never had been in any village ??

An : no I had been in one ..But only once that to few years before...But I was not able to explore it due to work...But u tell me..

Sh : ok...As u r not aware I will tell u how much I know ...It's not that I know everything but I know few thinks...village life has many advantages, including less noise, beautiful natural landscapes, less pollution, fresh air and less congestion, the statistics does not favor the village folks worldwide. ...Villages are something different...People lives together...Work together support each other...Which we usually never seen in city...Every village has certain rituals which they believe to follow...

An : oh...That's sound interesting...I m looking forward what this village has for me...

Mind...
My last experience to village is not something I fond of...

An : so when we will reach there...

Sh : around 7 pm ...If we didn't find any traffic..

An : that's long...How will u drive for long time...

Sh : don't worry we will take few breaks in between and I will manage....

An : but it will effect ur health ...And u r not that much young...U will easily get backache while sitting for so long...

Sh: wait a min ...What do u mean by I m not young...(offendly)

An :I mean u r  same thing which u understood ...

Sh : u mean to say I m old..

An: I didn't mean it...It's u who is saying u r old

Sh : I m not ...It's u..

An : I didn't say that u r old it's u only who assume it...did I say that..

Sh : but u mean same thing..

An : no I said I mean u r  same thing which u understood ...But I don't know u think u r old...

Sh : u know what ...U r so cruel...( Huffing )

An :what did I do...

Sh : nothing ...

Both look at each other for few secs and than burst into fits of laughter...

After composing themselves...

Sh : u take rest...I will make u up...When we will take break

An : ok...After that I will drive..

Sh : u know driving...(shocking)

An : what does it mean ... definetly I know...(annoying)

Sh :ok ok..Don't get annoyed...But it's ok..I will drive ...

An : I said na..I will drive than I will...No more argument on this topic ( she stated)
And turn her face to other side

Sh : ok...Don't be angry ...I will let u drive...

An : I m not asking u...I m telling u...

Sh : okk...U know u r one different piece ...Till now no one won from me in any argument but u did...

( One line stuck in her mind and took her to past)

YOU ARE ONE DIFFERENT PIECE ANNIE...

She came out of her daze by shivaay...

Sh : where u lost...

An : no where....
