On the other side, Anika was thinking what happened two years back.
Flashback
One fine day Anika went to visit the temple as usual when she saw a boy sitting to one side crying for food and was completely covered in dirt.
She went to the boy and asked the kid, "What happened Baccha(child)? Why are you crying?"
"I... I..." stammered the child still crying.
"It's okay don't cry please!" saying Anika wiped his tears.
"hungry, no eat 3 days" spoke the boy with much difficulty. Hearing this Anika immediately took him to a nearby hotel and offered him food, and the boy ate with much happiness.
"Where is your mumma papa?" Anika asked when he said "mumma with God, papa left me here. He didn't come"
"Will you come with me?" Anika asked him understanding his situation.
"I will!" said the boy without any hesitation.
The boy was Saahil who has created a magical bond with Anika all these years. Both regularly meet in the organization and spend time with each other.
Flashback ends
Sighing Anika sleeps off.
In the hospital the next morning,
Anika was in her room attending he patients when she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in" was heard when the person who knocked came in shocking Anika.
"Aap? What are you doing here? I mean any problem?" She asked when he said, "Dadi told me to discuss an important matter with you but we couldn't do that yesterday right. So I had to come" he said frowning.
"okay but not now? I can definitely not talk now, I'm sorry for that! I have to attend my patients, so you may..." She said not completing but Shivaay understood.
"Fhat the wuck! you have to talk right now!" He said shocked.
"I already told not now" she said back politely and he stormed out of the room in anger.
After attending the patients, Anika came out to have a break when she saw something which surprised her, Shivaay still waiting there.
Shivaay realized how dedicated and passionate Anika was towards her profession, so he waited for her to finish attending the patients.
"Billuji, please come inside" Anika says to him still surprised.
In her room, Shivaay spoke for a while to her surprising her again and again with his professionalism.
Meanwhile Gauri was in her recording studio when Om came to see her.
"Hi Gauri!" Om greeted when she greets back a little surprised, "Hey hi Om! How did you know I'm here?"
"Anu told me. I just came to see you!" He said when she says back, "that's so nice of you. If you don't mind, can you please sit in my room? Actually I have two songs to record. So?" She asked hesitantly.
"No problem Gauri! I will sit here. Take your own time! Complete your recording" he said when she smiles back leaving him there.
After a while, when she enters her room she finds Om reading a book from her shelf.
"Hey Gauri you too like reading books?" He asked when she says, "yeah Om! I just love reading books. Whenever I have time I just keep reading books"
"that's nice! I'm a bookworm too." saying he asked "shall we go for lunch?"
"Of course!" said Gauri in her own excitement but did not show out though.
They were having lunch together at a nearby cafe when Rudra also came to the same cafe. Seeing Om and Gauri there, he went to them greeting "Hi O!! Hi Gauri di! You both here? O you came with Gauri bhabhi! And you didn't even bother to call me?"
Gauri and Om, both were surprised hearing the word "bhabhi".
"Rudra!" Om almost hollered when Rudra asks "What bhaiyya! Why are you shouting as though..." he didn't finish when he realised he told bhabhi instead of didi.
"Sorry Gauri didi! I didn't mean to" Rudra apologized when Gauri spoke up cheering him, "It's okay Rudy chill! I don't have any prob..." She stopped herself from saying any further.
Om and Rudra were surprised hearing Gauri saying that "she doesn't have any prob..." "Complete the sentence didi" said Rudra smirking when Gauri tries saying, "Rudra! I-I meant..." She doesn't finish this time also when Rudra says leaving in a hurry, "it's okay didi! You guys continue enjoying! I have to go bye"
