Another morning at Oberoi mansion
Anika: Gauri, actually I will be leaving home tomorrow.
Gauri(sad): But why? You are comfortable here right didi?
Anika: yes, I'm comfortable. But this is not my home Gauri nor I am anyway related to Oberoi's. I'm grateful for the help they did but I can't stay.
Gauri: I will miss you,
Anika: Oh common, I'm in the same city we can catch up anytime we want.
Gauri: hmm, that sounds great. I'll bring Om, rudy, and shivaay bhaiya...
Anika: anyone but billu Sir. He doesn't like my locality, neither I like him up there.
Gauri: I wish you see him the same way I see, then you would never leave
Anika: meaning?
Gauri: I see a lot of Aloo puri (both giggles seeing the dinner)
At dinner
Anika(whispering): Rudy, does your Shivaay bhaiya has any friends? like girls?
Rudy: I can think of no one except you...(winks)
Anika: you can be never serious Rudy. Stop your drama and tell me.
Rudy: not many, ahh I see Mallika. You know her naa
Anika: Mallika?
Rudy: She is Shivaay Bhaiya's ex-girlfriend. She came here during the wedding, actually a kind of run-off bride.
Anika: woo, so she is the one. ( thinks she is the woman who Shivaay is in love with)
Rudy: Who?
Anika: nothing, were we close?
Rudy: totally close. You both used to corner shivaay Bhaiya all the time, that's why you both are my favorite.
Anika in mind: 1. always fights with Shivaay, 2. Rudy's favorite, 3. of course female. So she is the girl.
Anika: Rudy, do you have her pic?
He shows the party pic where all were drunk and the one which got viral as Shivaay and Mallika were close.
Anika: wow, they look so cute together
Rudy: hehe, I have many such pictures of you with Shivaay Bhaiya too, those are cuter.
Anika: you are 100 percent nonsense Rudy(Rudy is puzzled and continues to dine)
Anika in mind: So all I have to do is find Mallika and play a cupid to these two.
Anika: Rudy can you give me her number.
Rudy: I'm sure you already have it saved in your phone didi, anyway I'll text you.
Later at night, Shivaay knocked on Anika's door
Shivaay: Did I disturb you?
Anika: No, but there should be a reason why you are here right?
Shivaay: oh, yeah there should be a reason...(thinks of one)... yeah I came here to check if all is set for moving tomorrow... back to your house?
Anika: Actually all done, come in.
Shivaay sits on her cot and looks around his guest room.
Anika: Did I make a mess here?
Shivaay: not just here(murmurs)....no, not at all. Hey, why is this dress out?
