A loud voice of siren could be heard from the corridor!
He was leaning on the deck wall while his greenish blue eyes had been reflecting a tint of oceanic blue as he was staring at the green stretch of horizon, to which the ship was sailing through.

"We are heading back to Salamina Island! Everyone is requested to get prepared. The approximate distance is 15 nautical miles at the North-west direction of the gulf of Greece."

The announcement was made.

"Sir, anything else you need?" Jacob asked.

"no..not as of now! keep in touch, and do as i will instruct you" Shivaay reverted without glancing at him while picking the suit up that was kept laying on the bed.

He rubbed his temple and thought for a moment, then said, "One second, what did you say? what is the name? Bose's boutique! umm.. I heard this surname somewhere...where? whe..? right! Mitali Bose..fine" He exhaled, "Let the game start all over again as she wants Shivaay back!"

Shivaay took the cufflink from the dressing table, it was the same one which once was stuck with her ID.

Tears started stinging in his eyes as he was lost in her thoughts again.

The business suit was on!
The smirk on his lips was back!
The watch, the gelled hair, everything was back!
His blueish green eyes were tinted with a hue of grey!

Because, Shivaay Singh Oberoi was back to bring his Anika back, to get her back, to fetch her!

He ran his fingers through the thickness of his hair in a style that is previously mentioned as Hair flick!

"Be ready! it's not Aniket anymore, I will bring my old khidkitod Anika out of the facade of Koel, as am tired of these hide and seek and chasing game! It's time to return to the base, from where we started. Time to be SSO"

He grinned one more time reminiscing the old times and wore the hat.

On the other side,
Madrid

"why doesn't he answer my calls? How am I supposed to let him know about Om's accident. I asked Vikram for help but he said that both Anika di and Shivaay bhaiyaa's phones are not in the network coverage. Have they not reached Santorini yet? are they okay? Oh God! whom should I ask for help now! please God, please send someone" Rudy pleaded to the God, as he had currently come to a Church. He lit the candle and placed it in the candlestick. He was stepping back without turning his back as he felt very weak at the moment without his brothers.

He stopped when he felt a light touch on his back, he looked back and got surprised seeing her after a long time.

"Bhavya you? and Regan... what are you doing here?"

At the boutique,
Salamis

"So, you sure that you left it in the ship? I mean then how can we get that back? It was the main evidence" Mitali panicked.

"yes! I know it is the main evidence but why aren't you telling me what it was? What kind of evidence?" Anika asked back.

"It was the CCTV footage of your college, that...on that day Vikram had bribed a local Mafia." Mitali stated fidgeting her ring.

"So? do you think it can help us out? No..if it is Vikram and if I know him well.. then this evident will not help us to prove his crime. He's much clever than he seems to be. I want a perfect plan, Mitali....We can't prove anything with this silly proofs" Anika replied.

"But..if the chip gets misplaced or someone else receives it before us. Then everything will be ruined. achha tell me, Shivaay knows about you?" Mitali questioned.

Anika looked suddenly so distant, hearing the name again. She remembered the night before the day. Her revelation, his numbness, his giving a deaf ear to her pleas, his going back to his room without looking back at her.

She was hurt but what hurt her the most, was that He was beyond hurt. He was shocked and that was pretty reasonable. She was getting frustrated as she lost the chance to make him understand the scenario, her stance. She lost the chance to make herself clear to Shivaay. She lost the chance to be Shivaay's Anika time and again.

Something was pricked into her heart. A guilt? A peng of pain? A fear of losing? She shut her eyes as a lone tear escaped from her eye.

"Yes, he knows" all she could said to Mitali.
*******
"So.. Salamis Island it is. One of the most beautiful island and place of scenic beauty also. Sir...sir?" Jacob, the crew who brought his breakfast, gave him the news of Anika's escapade, looked behind but couldn't find the person he was busy in guiding in this land.

Suddenly he heard a noise of something. He felt a sudden tremor and change in the air. He stared above his head.

A helicopter...no It's a chopper with a big 'O' scribbled on the side door.

It landed safely in front of him and then he found the voice behind him which he was looking for.

"It's my private chopper. You must wonder, what this O stands for? It refers to Oberoi's. Now get into it. We will be directly landing on the roof of the mall. I enquired that the boutique is located at there. No..not a word anymore. It's my instruction" Shivaay gave him a poker look. Although through his Aviators which clearly told that his personal inquiry about Anika was also On.

Jacob was about to say something but his word was cut off in middle as Shivaay ordered him to come with him until he found Anika in the boutique. Who knew if he gave the right address or not? He couldn't trust anyone after what he, himself experienced in the past.

Loving someone gave him a tough challenge in which he couldn't even trust his heart. What did she do to him? Turning him into a lively mess? again? from where he had once recovered and rehabbed himself.
What did she get in return? Nothing. In fact she again lost another opportunity to have her place beside him But how could he let her lose? He would not. He hadn't given her a chance to clear her say. Okay! but this time, he didn't want to give her the time to say a word rather he wanted to know something from her.

When both of them couldn't have a reason to trust even their inner selves, would they want to believe each other? hold onto each other? Because this time, he knew that his Anika might need him in her war. War to prove someone's horrible crime.

He adjusted the hat and went inside the chopper.
