Shrugging his thought off he tried to sleep but he can't. Then finally after so long he dozed off.
Next morning
Anika and Shivaay left to reach Oberoi Mansion after breakfast.
As they entered Anika was hugged by Sahil.
Anika: Sahil... kaisa hai?
Sahil(still in the hug): main theek hun aap kaise ho?
Anika: ek dum theek aur tujhe dekh ke toh aur bhi zyada.
They broke the hug and Anika met everyone. All sat in the hall and Anika gave the gifts she brought for everyone.
Pinky: Anika puttar yeh choli toh bohat achi hai
Anika: Pinky aunty yeh Kutchh ka special hand work hai. Baaki sab ko kaisa laga?
Jhanvi: bohat acha laga Anika. Thank you
Anika: kya thank you aunty. Mujhe acha laga toh main aapke liye leke aai. Please don't be formal.
Dadi: par bohat acha hai yeh.
Anika smiled. All chatted for a while.
After sometime Anika went to Gauri's room.
Anika: Gauri...
Gauri: ji?
Anika: tere liye ek gift hai
Gauri: par aap ne diya toh sahi.
Anika: haan ek aur hai
