"S...so you will go now?", Shivaay asked even after knowing her answer. He hoped that she will change her decision or she will stay for some more time. Anika blinked her eyes 3-4 times before replying

"I am here till they call me", Anika told him and made him eat breakfast as Shivaay stopped eating in middle. After finishing Anika held his hand softly, she is trying hard to control her emotions in front of him. Shivaay looked towards her, he thought he should be the one handling her but here it is the opposite. He want to speak about many things but he stopped himself as he know his conversation will reach an end in middle.

They both remained quiet as silence spoke many emotions that they were trying hard to hide. Anika too kept quiet as she knew if they started talking she will cry in middle. When Malika called her Anika realised now she need to leave. She stood up but couldn't move an inch as her hand was held by Shivaay. She noticed him and didn't try to take her hand back, even though she want to feel his presence till he is near her

"Anika let's go", Malika told her. Anika gestured for her to go and then turned toward Shivaay

"Will come soon patidev", Anika assured him and noticed his red eyes. She knows even he is trying hard to control himself. They spent little time with each other but now they feel like they love each other for ages, they felt that thier hearts are connected. She always wants to do the best things for him without any expectations.

Anika hugged him last time before going. She rubbed his back softly in return. Her eyes welled up with tears as she lost her strong self in his arms. She can control her emotions anytime but she couldn't when she felt his hands around her back. She wiped her tears without breaking the hug to show herself strong. She wants to feel his warmth to keep herself strong there, she can't even talk with Gauri much because of Daksh.

"I love you", Anika whispered near his ears and broke the hug. Shivaay looked down as Anika is different from him, he can't even soothe her with his words. He likes her but can't express it in words, he doesn't know how to tell her she has a separate place inside his heart that no one can take. He always feels his heartbeat raise when she tells him she loves him, which he already knew.

He looked aside and wiped his tears, he don't want to show them in public and especially here when even Anika is having 2nd thoughts about going. Anika told him she is going for the last time and took her hand back from his hold..she felt her peace going away but can't change anything now. Shivaay moved forward and peeked at her lips

"Take care", he said and stepped back to let Anika go

Anika waved her hand towards him and gestured for him to smile through her hand, Shivaay smiled and didn't move from his position till Anika was out of his sight. He then came back to his office and continued his work to distract himself.

Whereas Anika sat inside the plane and looked outside. She heard an announcement about the plane going to take off, she wore a seatbelt as Shivaay already told her to wear it once she sit inside the plane. She noticed someone from Malika's relative sitting near her she turned her face aside and closed her eyes. Teardrops started falling from her eyes because of her own decision. Now she doesn't need to control her tears anymore, she looked out of the window and noticed only planes and people walking here and there. She wished Shivaay was near her.

She held her seat tightly when the flight was about to take off, she prayed to God because of fear. She never travelled in the air and has a fear of the flight crashing in the middle or what if she is lost there. She also wondered what she will do if she felt bored as she don't know many people from Malika's family. Anika started thinking about her life and slept
