Chapter Three: First Meet
Anika couldn't be happier to hear the news. Shivaay was home, finally, but what now.
She was restless all day looking here and there for him and over her shoulder. It was getting hard hiding her smile from dadi and other family member so anika decided to just leave, she didn't think she was ready to face him just yet after how their last encounter went five years ago, she was giddy.
Anika went home to find it empty, as usual. Every time she came home to an empty house drowned in darkness, she remembered everything that happened as if it was just yesterday. Sahil's parents left him, their only child with me and they just up and left, they had one some lottery, probably. So now anika sent sahil to a boarding school and she took a loan for the school fees. She also had to pay the rent for the house they were living in, but she was happy, she could do this for sahil.
Sighing she went to sleep, she couldn't afford having stress thinking about these things and she had to go to oberoi mansion tomorrow.
~
Shivaay had officially started working for his family business today, he even cracked a deal. Tired, he went to his room straight when he reached home. Upon entering his room he saw a file on his bed, confused he picked it up.
He flicked the file open to see anika's name written on it. He read it to satisfy his curiosity. There were personal details about her such as her name, her previous family name and the family which had an accident. Her birthday, schooling, likes and dislikes which he already knew. What surprised him was that she had done a course in event management. She takes care of her brother sahil and she has a loan of 15 lakhs and was also behind in paying the rent of her home.
Hmm. So she was in need of money, he could do it because he had too much.' Shivaay thought when he realised the problems she faced.
Suddenly shivaay was happy thinking about what he was going to do first thing tomorrow in the morning, and went to sleep.
Next morning
Anika was up early and she was at the door of her landlord. Her landlord was an old man who was very strict and didn't like receiving late rent.
Anika rang the bell and the old man's daughter opened the door and invited anika inside with a warm smile. Anika went in and took out the envelope from her bag which had money inside it. She handed it over to the old man but was surprised when he refused to take it.
"why are you paying the rent now, the house is already yours, here are the papers" saying this he handed her a file.
Anika was stunned which was an understatement of the century. How could the house be hers, she could barely pay the rent as it was then how could she buy it, for a second she wondered if she was dreaming and her alarm would ring any minute now. She even pinched herself , the market price of the home was almost 12 lakhs, which she couldn't afford in her dreams.
She took the file and opened it, they were the property papers which he had handed over to her, in her name.
"if this is joke please tell me because I am on the verge of having a heart attack. I didn't pay you the money then how can I buy the place?" anika spoke and ended up shouting and breathing heavily.
"relax you didn't pay the money alright , it was shivaay singh oberoi. I didn't know you knew him, I would have given you a discount on the rent" the old man said and anika could only say "what?" did she hear it right? Shivaay singh oberoi bought the house for her????
"how dare he?" anika was angry suddenly, her ears were burning. "what? You don't want the house?" the girl asked. "he does not have a right to do these things, interfere in my life like this when I didn't even see him or talked to him since he came back and how does he even know where I lived, ugh this is so frustrating" anika ranted and left before anyone else could say anything to her.
Anika took her scooty and went straight to the oberoi mansion to talk to shivaay but upon reaching she found out that he went to office. " lucky him or I would have showed him who I am" anika huffed and puffed in anger and started the work of organising sitting arrangements etc.
Today proved to be a bad day for her and the saying that "bad things happen in threes" came true for her.
First she hit her head in a table while she was getting up and then second, she hit her leg in a lamp stand and was limping for a while and the last thing to happen to her was when she was leaving. She sat on her scooty and started to leave but as she was about to take a turn she ran straight into a car.
" are you blind? Can you not see that I was coming?" she shouted at the driver. As it is , her day was bad and this couldn't be any worse. As she waited for an answer, she saw a man get out of the car, clad in a black tailored suit , he was looking handsome but she didn't have the time to dwell on his looks.
"it's not his fault he didn't see you" the man in the suit said.
" why didn't he see, does he not have eyes?" she said.
Suddenly anika felt tired, too exhausted to say anything. The man hadn't said anything rude to her but she was angry. "you know what I don't care anymore, I am leaving. This day is getting worse for me." And saying this before the man could say something, she left on her scooty.

Shivaay got inside his car as the girl left. Weird woman, he thought. The driver parked the car and shivaay got out to see omkara waiting for him. He went to him.
"how was your day?" om asked. " it was fine until that woman bumped into the car, ran her ride straight into it, just around the corner." Shivaay told om and turned to point out the main gate of oberoi mansion to which he replied "oh that! That was anika" and om smiled when he saw shivaay suddenly turn back to look at him.
"that girl was anika?" shivaay asked surprised. "of course, I thought you knew since you went to her place yesterday." Om said.
"yeah but I wasn't able to see her face" shivaay replied as if it was normal and then realised his mistake.
Om laughed " and you said you didn't want to see her" after this om laughed more as he saw shivaay blush.
"oh my god! This is epic, the shivaay singh oberoi is blushing. This, I have to tell everyone" and om turns to go in and as shivaay moves to stop him, omkara increases his speed and runs away.
"om!" shivaay goes after him.
Later that evening
Anika was alone in her home, she was restless, she wanted to confront shivaay and find out why he did this , bought a house for her. Her only option was to go to the party, surely he would be there but she couldn't go. There would be many people, high society people and she didn't even know how shivaay looked and she didn't have a dress according to the theme.
She had to wait for tomorrow. Suddenly her doorbell rang. She went to open the door to find priyanka with many shopping bags in her hand.
" what is this?" anika asked. " won't let me inside first?"
"oh sorry , come in" anika closed the door when prinku settled on the sofa.
"so I am here because I cannot let my best friend spend the new year alone. You are coming to the masquerade party with me." Prinka said excitedly.
Anika was about to refuse but priyanka said that dadi also wants her to come after all she has worked so hard for this party.
Party was to start at 8 p.m. and it 6 p.m. at the moment so they had much time to get ready and reach the oberoi mansion.

Anika couldn't believe what she saw in the mirror when she was ready. It wasn't her but someone else and that woman looked soo beautiful.
"wow prinku, you are brilliant. Thank you"
"you are welcome my friend. We need to go now or else we will be late" Priyanka and anika then left for the party.
Upon entering the oberoi mansion anika was again feeling butterflies in her stomach because she knew she would find him here. Looking at the crowd she saw that everyone had masks on their faces so she wore her mask.
Dadi was really happy to see anika there and happily introduced the event planner everyone wanted to meet. Everything was going great and anika was happy that the guests were happy and enjoying themselves. She was surprised when pinky and jhanvi especially came with their friends to introduce them to anika A.K.A. the event planner.
Anika looked around for the longest time but couldn't find shivaay anywhere and she didn't see om or rudra too. And she realised that wouldn't be able to find them because they must be wearing masks too.
Fed up she left the party and wandered inside the house. She contemplated going to shivaay's room but thought better of it and left for the garden to get some fresh air. She didn't feel like seeing him just yet even if she wanted to talk to him.

Shivaay: CLICK HERE
Shivaay couldn't stop thinking about anika. She was there, he talked to her but how didn't he recognise her? This was a question which was going around his head in a loop. Did she remember him? Did she recognise him? Endless questions with no answers and he didn't understand why did it matter if she recognised him or not? Why was he so restless about this?
Shivaay was once again there in the garden, standing alone under the moonlight but this time the garden was lit in fairy lights.
Garden: CLICK HERE
[ No chairs and other things ]
[Play music - pehli dafa(atif aslam) ]
This was the only place he could find peace in this whole house, where he remembered her. He remembered that he never really talked to her because she was young and he was just like that, never talked much. She could've never guessed that he felt something for her even if didn't know what it was. She was adorable when she was young and annoyingly talkative. He laughed but stopped short when he heard clicking of heels coming in his direction. He turned to look as a woman appeared in a red and cream dress with a mask on her face. He kept staring for a few minutes as she did the same. His trance broke when he heard a throat clear which had come from the women.
"i... sorry for disturbing you, I'll go now" and she turned to leave.
"wait" shivaay stopped her. He could hear the music playing in a distance, the dance must have started , he thought.
"can I have this dance?" he asked hopeful that she'd say yes and he extended his palm towards her.
He saw her hesitate but then she started taking tentative steps towards him and when she reached him , she kept her hand in his. "thank you" shivaay said. He directed her left hand to his shoulder and his own right hand rested on her waist while he held her right hand in his.
He saw her furrow her eyebrows and then recognition washed upon her. "you? You are the same person who bumped into me just a few hours ago." She accused him and shivaay was frozen for a few seconds when he realised that anika was in his arms but she didn't know that it was him, shivaay.
They were swaying lightly to the music now and shivaay was looking intently on her. "so, what are you doing here in Oberoi Mansion?" shivaay asked just to keep her engaged in a talk. "I am the event planner" she replied.
"oh" shivaay said surprised but then realised that yes she had done event management course. He twirled her around and pulled her closer.
Anika looked around but looked at shivaay when he asked " who are you looking for?"
"just some idiot who thinks he can buy me a house" she muttered in anger but he heard her clearly and was amused because she was talking about him and he also realised that she called him an idiot.
"what are you doing here?" anika asked for a change and he again twirled her, dipped her down and kept the position.
"I ... am shivaay's close friend" saying this he changed the position n now they were both back into the previous position and again started swaying.
" really? I never thought he had any friends" she mused. "he doesn't, I am just persistent. I wanted to be his friend" shivaay lied smoothly and wanted to laugh when he saw that she was taking it seriously.
"you know shivaay?" he asked just to see what she says. She kept silent for a few moments and seemed to have drifted away sub-consciously. "used to"
He wondered what she meant, does she not remember him? " you sound like you don't know him now"
"I don't, we never really talked when I used to know him and then... then he left... when I needed him the most" she sighed while saying the last line.
He pretended not to hear her " did you say something?" "no." she replied but then added more "do you know if he is inside?" she waited for an answer.
"no.. he isn't inside" he was about to tell her that he wasn't inside because he was here with her. He heard her sigh again " you seem nice enough to be his friend"
"he is not that bad" shivaay said, "yeah? Then why didn't he come see me when he came back rather than going behind my back and.. and doing what he did"
"he must have good intentions in his heart" shivaay was going to tell her that it was him when suddenly she left his hand, backed away, turned around and left without saying a word to him.
