Annika made sure she did not make any eye contact with him as she took a deep breath in. He stood there his back leaning against the wall and eyes fixed on her. She was scared to look at his way because if she did, he might get the idea that she had wanted to talk to him, though it was the opposite. Annika wanted to maintain distance with him. But watching him pushing himself off the wall he was leaning against, her heart beat increased.
Annika assured herself that it was nothing, he wouldn't do anything that would make her uncomfortable, right? And so she kept walking while she was well aware that he was following her. Upon reaching the elevator, with Shivaay still trailing behind her, she bit her bottom lip, what did he want? Was he going to follow her this way all the time?
"Annika, hey" This was the first time she had heard him say her name and she felt a shiver run down her spine. The effect he had on her. Annika squeezed her eyes shut, she needed to collect herself before she was going to lose herself yet again. The only thing she could do was, turn around and give him a small nod before diverting her eyes back at the elevator which was taking ages to reach the floor.
Annika looked at him, he was giving her one stupid smile and she fought the urge to slap his perfect face. How can a man be so frustrating and good looking at the same time, maybe it was just Shivaay Singh Oberoi.
"I am sorry for how I acted yesterday" Annika watched him through the corner of her eye only to realize that he was no longer smiling, her heart dropped at that sight. When she had turned towards him, she noticed how plain and dull he looked, it wasn't the same face she had fallen in love with, that Shivaay had a glow on his face, always.
Why was he saying sorry when he himself drowned while saving her? Annika opened her mouth to speak but the elevator pinged and it brought her attention. She gave him one blank look before getting into the elevator, he did not follow her, he just stood her, gazing at her. Annika gulped down hard, if anyone was capable of making her feel this way, it would be Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

Looking up at the sky which was void of any stars tonight, Annika rubbed her arms. She could hear the hushed voices of Aryan and Rhea from some distance, they looked happy, complete with each other. And there was Gauri who was holding a glass of martini in between her fingers and nervously talking to Omkara. "What do you think is going on between Ayaan Bhaiya and Sammer?" Rudra who was standing next to Annika and munching on his chocolate asked.
Annika eyebrows raised at the sight, they were looking, no, staring at each other like there was no tomorrow. It made Annika pounder over her thoughts that she had seen Sammer somewhere but where? Before she could have thought any further, Rudra grabbed her wrist, making her stand in front if everyone was the music on the deck changed.
"Dance with me Didi" Rudra said, taking her hand and keeping Annika's hand on his one shoulder while taking the other one into his own hand. With Rudra's one hand on her waist, he smiled when he saw Annika's confused face. There were other people who were dancing too and now that Rudra had started to sway Annika with him to the tune of the music, some more people joined them.
