Surprised!
That night,
"Anu yaar I want to speak something important to you. Shall we meet in the coffee shop tomorrow?" Om asked when Anika asks back, "Sure Om! Around 4.00 in the evening?"
"okay done bye" Om said ending the call.
The next evening,
Om was waiting for the past one hour in the coffee shop but Anika didn't turn up yet.
"What happened to Anu? Why is she not picking my call? She didn't turn up at all. She has never done like this before" Om wondering soon leaves the shop and heads towards the hospital.
He goes to check in Anika's room but found it empty. Om felt tensed as he couldn't find his friend when a nurse came there. He asks her about Anika but she informs Anika left for lunch a while back to her house and didn't return back again.
He calls Gauri to find about Anika, "Gauri are you at home?"
"No Om. I just left a while back! But what happened. Why do you seem tensed?" She asks back.
"What about Anika? Where is she?" He tries asking casually.
"Di was with me at home a while back. We had lunch together and she actually told me she has to leave early. But actually I left before her. So I think she will be at the hospital now. Is everything okay? Is Something wrong?" She asks back doubtfully.
"Nothing Gauri don't worry. Just relax" he said when Gauri tries saying something but before that he cuts the call.
Om called Shivaay not really feeling good about Anika.
"Shivaay, I can't find Anu at the hospital. We both thought of meeting today but she didn't turn up" he said panicking a lot when Shivaay asks back, "Om calm down. Did you check her house?"
"No I'm going now! But I'm really tensed" Om says when Shivaay says back, "okay Om listen I'm coming now. Where are you?"
"At the hospital" was the answer from Om.
Within a span of 15 minutes,
Shivaay and Om met and they drove their way to Anika's house which is an apartment not really far from the hospital.
As they reached, they directly head to Anika's flat in the 13th floor. But they found the door open which shocked them.
"Anika!" shouted Shivaay as he couldn't see anything inside the house. It was dark and they were clueless.
"Shivaay Anu never leaves the door open like this. Why is the house this dark!" Om talks back very much worried.
"Om we need to find her. Come let's go inside" saying they leave inside.
At last they found Anika lying down on the floor near the kitchen area.
Shivaay and Om ran towards her very much tensed and scared.
"Anika, wake up! Om bring water" Shivaay almost hollered holding her.
Then sprinkled water on her face and slowly she got back her conscious.
"Leave me!" She shouted as she couldn't see clearly who it was.
"Anika, it's me Shivaay. What happened?" He asked still holding her when She hugs him tightly calling out, "Billuji" but fainted again.

He soon lifted her in his arms and made her lie carefully on the bed in her room. Meanwhile Om called the doctor. Soon Doctor comes and checks her.
"Mr.Oberoi she is highly shaken by something. Please see to that she is not stressed about any matter and she has to take the medicines on time without fail" the doctor says when Shivaay nods in positive.
After a while Anika woke up when both run towards her,
"Anu, are you fine?" asked Om worried when she says her voice reflecting fear, "ye-yeah I'm fine now Om!"
"Anika, what happened?!" asked Shivaay concerned but Anika was really in a bad shape that she started crying.
"Anika It's okay! Please don't cry. You are completely fine now!" Shivaay says not able to see her like that.
She soon composes herself and tells what happened.
