Ishq sukoon hai

Annika's meeting with Jhanvi went on for a few hours. Jhanvi was absolutely certain now, this collaboration would give her the results she needed for their brand. Annika was a really talented and dedicated person. Her sweet and friendly nature was a cherry on the top.

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

Annika went back to the hotel. It was a weird day for her to be honest. She called Oliver and told him about meeting Om and Shivaay

Oliver: Wow, what were the odds? See I told you it'll be an adventure. Do you guys still have that chemistry you felt a year ago?

A: I don't know ollie and I don't even want to know. I'm dating Vikram, remember!

Oliver: yeah yeah i know, but what if you do

A: Then nothing, bye ollie, i'm gonna call vikram now.

She spoke to Vikram over video call for a while and finally got some much needed sleep.

In the morning Annika stopped at the nearest Starbucks before going to the Oberoi mansion.

The next few days went by in a jiffy. Each day she went to Starbucks, got a coffee, went to Oberoi mansion and worked with Jhanvi for hours. She would go back at dinner time.

It had been over a week since she came to mumbai.

Jhanvi: Annika, why don't you stay here with us? I mean you're here for work almost the entire day, you only go back to sleep. Stay with us

A: no no jhanvi aunty, i don't wanna impose, i'm alright

Jhanvi: No, I insist. You don't usually do this, you've come all this way just because of my request. This is the least I can do for you. You are staying in the Oberoi mansion and that's final. Get your luggage shifted here, I'll sort the guest room for you.

A: no jhanvi aunty please

Jhanvi: Annika i'm not going to listen

Daadi heard their conversation and came over

Daadi: Annika dear, stay here with us, we'd like that

She reminded her so much of her own grandmother that Annika just couldn't say no.

The next morning she shifted to the guest room in the house.

She worked with jhanvi till the evening when finally Om came and took her along

Om: Come on Annika, don't be a workaholic like shivaay.

All the youngsters were settled in rudra's room, chatting and having fun

Priyanka: Annika didi if you don't mind me asking, how many boyfriends have you had? I have heard people in europe date a lot

A: I'll tell you on one condition

Priyanka: what?

A: I want that magical coffee. Correction I need that magical coffee, please please please get some for me

Priyanka: Which coffee?

Om: shivaay's obviously

Annika made a puppy dog face to convince priyanka, who obviously melted. Sneaking into shivaay's room to get coffee was a dangerous task. Shivaay didn't appreciate anyone messing with his setup.
