[Annika - A, Shivaay - S, Rudra - Ru, Gauri - G, Bhavya - B]


A couple of days later, Chanda found Annika humming to herself, setting up her easel. Hours later when Chanda came back to her room, Annika had drawn the silhouette of a man. The stubble, the jawline made it quite clear who she was drawing.

Chanda: Annika, who is this man?

A: Chandaaaa, you weren't supposed to see this.

Chanda: Come on, spill now, what are you up to? You like him, don't you?

A: No (she replied right away)

Chanda: Oh my god, you have such a bad poker face. You're blushing

A: What? No!


She turned around to check in the mirror


Chanda: Gotcha! Tell me now, how bad is it?

A: Very! I didn't mean to draw him, but whenever I close my eyes, he's all I see

Chanda: Okay, so you have a crush on one of the most eligible bachelors in the country. Big deal

A: Chandaaa! Stop teasing.

Chanda: Do you plan on telling him? Does he know?

A: I don't know how he feels about me if he feels anything at all

Chanda: Oh he does

A: How can you tell?

Chanda: look at this picture I clicked of you both. You look so cute together. And do you think Shivaay Singh Oberoi goes on spending time with every girl he meets, at her measly apartment, with her feet in his lap?

Annika blushed even harder looking at their picture

A: Maybe you're right (she said timidly)

Chanda: So...

A: I'll find some good opportunity to tell him, ONCE I'm sure that he also feels something for me

Chanda: don't waste a lot of time, okay. Those brothers are a hot commodity, rich girls surround them wherever they go. Now come for dinner, or is your stomach full of love?

A: You!

She threw a pillow at Chanda and left the room after covering the sketch.


The next Friday when she went to meet him for their weekly update meeting, she dressed up a little. She wore one of her best kurtis, matching jhumkas and a little kohl to complete the look. She wanted to see if he'd notice any difference.


She opened the cabin door without knocking. What she saw, knocked her breath out for sure. Shivaay was hugging a girl. And Man! She was so pretty.


A: I'm so sorry! I should have knocked

She was closing the door but Shivaay stopped her

S: It's okay Annika, come in

He still had his arm around the girl. She entered the cabin slowly, tried to smile but it was too hard
