Anika opened her eyes yawning. She tilted her head on her right side and saw Shivay sleeping peacefully, with slightly opened mouth. Anika smiled looking at his face. She looked at the clock and saw its just 5 in the morning. Suddenly something came into her mind.

Praying to god to not to wake him up before she come back as she know he will wake up not feeling her beside, Anika got down from the bed without disturbing him.

After 2 minute, Anika came back to the room and saw Shivay still sleeping in the same position. Anika smiled mischievously.

She came to him slowly, without making a noise and sat on the bed, beside him. She brought her hand infront, which she was hiding behind her and looked at the bowl and thread.

She gave him a bechara look and again smirked. She got up from the bed and stood bending down. Then she brought the thread to the bowl and dipped it in the water inside the bowl. Taking it out from the bowl she brought it towards his open mouth and the water dripped from the thread directly towards his mouth.

Anika giggled watching him frowning in sleep. He groaned still being in the sleep. As soon as she saw him opening his eyes, Anika ran out of the room. But Shivay was fast enough to catch a glimpse of her and he knew, this mischief is done by his to be wife.

Well, our Bagadbilla got up subah subah tasting Namak. Wow, what a wonderful wife he gonna get.

Shivay got up from the bed and ran to the washroom to wash off the salty taste from his mouth and to.get freshen up.

•°•
°•°

Shivay came out of the washroom after washing his face. He saw the time 5:10. Suddenly he realised that today Anika is going back. He walked out of the room towards hers. He knocked on the door but got no response. He tried 2-3 times but all in vain. Finally he decided to peep inside.

Shivay slowly opened the door and put his head inside and saw Anika sleeping flat on the bed.

"Oh, so madam is sleeping peacefully after ruining my sleep." Shivay whispered rolling his eyes. Shivay walked inside and stood beside the bed after locking the door. He smiled watching her sitting beside her, he examined her face.

"Seven more months." He said sighing, caressing her cheek.

He got up from the bed and walked to the other side. Climbing on the bed, he laid beside her looking into her face.

"Can't you stay some more days here Anika?" He asked to her sleeping figure like a kid. Knowing that his questioning is just waste of words, he sighed.

Shivay smiled looking at her and scooted close to her and hugged her, and tried to sleep but his sleep is already gone because of washing his face.

"Just wake up and i'll show you the consequences of ruining Shivay Singh Oberoi's sleep." Shivay whispered warning, more like complaining.

"How will I sleep now yaar." He pouted not able to sleep. Suddenly something came into his mind. He lifted his head and looked into her face.

"Don't mind haan..." He said before keeping his head on her chest, hugging her tightly.

Anika's hands automatically wrapped around him. Her one hand moved to his head while the other one rested on his back. Shivay smiled and snuggled more into her chest and closed his eyes, finally falling asleep.

•°•
°•°

Shivay opened his eyes. He lifted his face and saw where is he sleeping. His head is still kept on her chest. He saw her sleeping, still her both hands wrapped around him. He saw her stirring in her sleep. Her eyes were about to open and he immediately kept his head back on her chest and closed his eyes.

Anika opened her eyes and she felt something heavy on her. She looked down and saw Shivay sleeping, keeping his head on her chest. Her mouth opened into an O shape.

"Haawww..... When did he come?" She asked herself being confused. She tried to shift him to the bed but Shivay tightened his hold and snuggled more into her chest making her heart skip a beat. He could clearly hear her raising heartbeat.

Anika finally gave up and wrapped her hands around him, after trying a lot. He smiled happily, hiding from her. Anika started to caress his head. She tilted her face and saw the time. It was already 8 and She have to reach Office by 9.

"Oh shit, what will I do?" She asked herself looking down at him.

"Shivay..... please get up, i am getting late for my office." She tried to wake him up. Shivay opened his eyes hearing her. He tilted his head to look into her face.

"Haawww, you were awake?" She asked being shocked. Shivay realised the blunder he made. He closed his eyes biting his tongue.

"Tha..that, i ..I just got up, so..." He stammered to find words.

"Rehne dijiye, samajh gyi mei." Anika said rolling her eyes at his failed attempts.

"Now as you are awake, get off from me. Its already past 8 and I have to reach office by 9." Anika said withdrawing her hands from him.

"Just 5 minutes more please..." He said giving her puppy eyes.

"Shivay, I am getting late for my office." Anika said trying to make him understand.

"Don't worry, nobody gonna scold you. If anyone did then just call me i'll handle." Shivay said keeping his head back on her chest.

"Oh really?" She asked raising her eyebrows at him. He nodded his head again lifting his head to look at her.

"And how you gonna handle it? Its not your office where i am working right?" She asked giving him stern face.

"Woh....I...woh..." Shivay stammered looking here and there. Anika made him look into her face.

"Batayiye batayiye.." Anika said sarcastically. Shivay cleared his throat.

"Don...don't forget that i'm... I'm Shivay Singh Oberoi and I can do anything." Shivay said trying his best to sound confident.

"Oh yeah, how can I forget The Great Shivay Singh Oberoi, who can upside down the world." Anika mocked him. He cleared his throat nervously.

"Just keep qui...quiet and let me be here for some more time." Shivay said trying to divert the topic. He kept his head back on her chest and closed his eyes. Anika chuckled at him.

Shivay held her hands and kept one on his head and other on his back making her smile.

"Only 5 minute Shivay, I am telling you." Anika said and he nodded his head.

•°•
°•°

After half an hour

"Anika, wake up, its 8. 30." Shivay said trying to wake her up. Anika jerked open her eyes and saw the time. Her eyes widened in horror.

"Shit, why didn't you wake me up early Shivay. I did told you na I am already late." Anika said making a cry baby face.

"Relax and don't worry, just go and get ready. I'll drop you." Shivay said making her calm down. Anika got up from the bed and ran to the washroom, taking out her dress. Shivay walked out of the room, calling someone.

"O, did you see that?" Rudy asked to Om from distance, watching Shivay walking out of Anika's room, looking like just wake up.

"Haa, yesterday Anika bhabhi walked out of Shivay's room and today he is walking out of bhabhis room." Om said and both gave eachother a mischievous smirk. Both walked away from there talking to eachother, just like CIDs discussing on some crime case.

•°•
°•°

Shivay entered his room talking on the phone.

"Althaf, Anika will be late today. Don't ask her the reason. Just let her in okay?" Shivay said or to say, ordered his office manager.

"Yes sir,but...." Althaf said in confusion.

"But what?" Shivay said taking out his dress from the wardrob.

"How do you know that Anika will be late today?" And the dress skipped from his hand. He looked down at the dress and then straight. He cleared his throat trying to find a perfect answer.

"It's... It's no...none of your b...business, just do what I say, I am your boss not you." Shivay said and immediately cut the call.

On the other side, Althaf was hell confused. He was the medium for the employees to reach to their boss but now it seems like he surely gonna be replaced by Anika.

"Why am I having the gut feeling that from now on if I want to talk to Shivay sir, I have to contact Anika first." He said to himself making crying face, imagining himself running behind Anika asking for the permission to meet Shivay.

•°•
°•°

Shivay was setting his hair standing infront of the mirror, after getting fully ready.

Suddenly Anika walked in like a bullet train and stood infront of him, crossing her hands infront of her chest.

Shivay looked at her and then held her shoulders, dragging her aside. Anika's jaw dropped down. She again came infront of him and Shivay did the same.

Being frustrated, she snatched the hair brush from his hand and threw it on the corner of the room shocking him.

"What the Fuck..." He screamed.

"Aapke Fuck gaye dubkiya lagane.... Did you see the time? Its 8.50 already. Pichle 10 minute mei 100 baar mei yaha aayi, aapko pata chala? Nahi... Kaise pata chalenge, aap toh yaha apne baalo mei uljhe hue ho... Arey chaar baal dhang se hei nahi aapke sar pe , aur chaar sau baar apne isko maalish karwaya abhi tak." Anika shouted being frustrated.

"Arey maalish nahi kar rha hu, gel laga raha hu, taaki baal set rahe." Shivay tried to make her understand, setting his hair with his hand, looking into the mirror. Anika jerked his hand from his hair.

"Kyu? Kisi movie yaa serial ki shooting chal rahe hei aapke sarr par jo aapke baal set kar rahe hei." Anika screamed.

"Yaa kisi ladki ki baalo ke saath iski shadi karane hei setting kara ke?" Anika asked fuming in anger.

"Aren't you getting late? You have successfully waster 5 minute and now you just have 5 minute to reach the office." Shivay said giving her a tight smile.

"Oh fuck..." Anika ran out of the room.

"Shadi ke baad..." Shivay screamed from back, running behind her.

"Shut up and come fast." Anika screamed back and Shivay chuckled.

•°•
°•°

Anika and Shivay came down to the dining hall and saw everyone sitting there all ready to fo breakfast.

"Arey, Billu,Anika puttar... Come and have breakfast." Daadi said watching them, smiling.

"No Daadi, I am already very late. I'll eat in the office. Bye." Anika said walking to her and taking blessings. She hugged Daadi and kissed on her cheeks making Daadi smile.

Anika then one by one took blessings from all the elders and hugged OmRu.

"Bye bhabhi, take care. And take care of our plan as well." Rudy whispered the last line into her ear. Anika nodded her head. Shivay stood there smiling, watching her.

"Billu...." Daadi got cut in between by Shivay.

"Daadi, i'll too eat in the office. She is getting late and if I sat down to eat then instead of food, she'll eat me." Shivay said chuckling making everyone giggle and Anika glare him.

"Now a days we have more chance to see these both eating eachother." Rudy said hifying with Om.

"What do you mean Rudy?" Jhanvi asked frowning. Rudy took 2 spoon in his hand and two glass.

"See mom, its real place is here." Rudy said placing each spoon in each glass.

"Leking kal yeh yaha se nikla." He said putting one spoon into the opposite glass.

"Aur aaj yeh yaha se." He put the other spoon into the other glass. Shivay and Anika looked at eachother, widening their eyes.

"An... Anika... Come, I...I have a meeting to attend. We are getting late." Shivay said holding her hand and dragging her out of the mansion. OmRu looked laughed aloud, confusing the family.

"O my mata!!! Why are you laughings?" Pinky asked frowning. OmRu shook their head still laughing.

•°•
°•°

Shivay dropped Anika infront of the office. Making sure she reached safely inside, he took out his phone dialing Althaf.

"Althaf, Anika just reached now. She didn't had her breakfast so, first of all make her have the breakfast. Don't let her work otherwise, and yeah don't tell her that I am the boss, just tell her that Shivay Singh Oberoi called you and asked you to do it, don't ask her that how she know me, got it? And listen, get her Aloo puri for the breakfast." He said and cut the call after getting yes sir as reply. Starting his car, Shivay drove to Oberoi Industries.

Here, Althaf cut the call and saw Anika walking inside. He was staring her without blinking his eyes. Anika came and stood infront of him.

"Althaf?" She called him confused. He came out of his trance but not from the shock.

"Who are you?" He asked still being in the shock.

"Hein? What do you mean by who are you? Of course I am Anika. Subah subah chada ke aaye ho kya?" She asked smacking his head. Finally he came out of the shock fully.

"Huh? Nothing, you go to your cabin. I'll just come." He said getting a nod from Anika. She walked to her cabin while Althaf walked to the canteen.

•°•
°•°

Anika was concentrating on a file when she felt someone presence in the cabin. She lifted her face from th file and saw Althaf standing there with food. Anika raised her eyebrows. He came forward and put the tray on the table.

"Your breakfast Anika." He said while keeping it on the table. Anika opened her mouth to say something but Althaf cut her off.

"Shivay Sir called me and told to make you eat the breakfast. First have it and then get back to your work." He said and turned to go.

"One second Althaf." He stopped and turned to Anika with a questioning look.

"How do you know Shivay? And why he is ordering you when he is not your boss?" Anika asked getting up from her seat and stood infront of him, crossing her hands infront of her chest giving him a stern look.

"Iska answer toh sir ne bataya hi nahi!! Kya bolunga mei ab?" Althaf muttered under his breath but Anika heard it. She giggled silently.

"That.... Haan, you can ask that to him. Bye I have a lots of works left. You have your breakfast and get back to your work." Althaf said and hurriedly hurriedly went out. Anika laughed watching him running away from her.

"Aapke aur aapke yeh chamche Althaf, dono ka bharta banaungi mei aaj. Let the clock hit 8. Just wait and watch Mr.Shivay Singh Oberoi." Anika said smirking.

Soon it was evening. All the day, Althaf was running away from Anika to save himself from her questionnaire session.

It was 7:45 Pm and Anika was sitting in her cabin, waiting for Shivay's arrival. Althaf was passing by when he saw Anika there. He came to her cabin.

"Anika, are you planning to stay back here for today?" He asked chuckling.

"Yeah kind of.." She replied chuckling.

"Anika, its already 7:45 , you should leave now, boss will be here anytime." He said checking his watch.

"I am waiting for him only na. Today i'll meet him." She said freaking out Althaf.

"WHAT? Anika just leave, you gonna make me jobless today." He said widening his eyes.

"Don't worry, i'll manage your boss... I mean our boss. He's not gonna snatch away your job." Anika said double quoting the word Job.

"Anik...."

"Althaf....."

"Aagyaaa....."

Anika jumped on her seat hearing Shivay's voice.

"Just leave as soon as Sir enter his cabin." Althaf said closing the door of her cabin and on the exact moment, Shivay was there.

"Althaf? What are you doing here, infront of Anika's cabin?" Shivay asked narrowing his eyebrows.

"Wah, Anika's cabin and all." Anika whispered from inside.

"Si..sir woh...., haan, j was just checking that if she had completed the file or not." Althaf said starting.

"Jhoote..." Anika whispered from inside. Shivay glared him for some moments before walking towards his cabin. Althaf sighed in relief and left from there.

Anika come out from her cabin and walked to Shivay's cabin. She saw Althaf walking out from the cabin towards his. She immediately ran towards Shivay's cabin. She stood infront of the cabin door.

"Kaise boss hei, kanjoos kahi ka, apna naam bhi nahi chhapwaya yaha pe." Anika said frowning.

She knocked on the door and heard a come in from inside.

Althaf was coming towards the cabin when he saw her opening the knob of Shivay's cabin door.

Hearing foot steps, Anika turned around and saw a shocked yet scared Althaf, staring her in the frozen state. She waved her hands dramatically at him and opened the door entering in.

"Meri naukri...." Althaf gasped and his expression changed into a crying one.

"Althaf have you got....." Shivay frozen on his feet watching Anika standing infront of him.

"Sir its not my fault....." On the exact time Althaf ran inside, huffing.

Shivay gulped watching her. His gaze ran to Althaf and then to Anika. She turned to Althaf.

"Althaf I already told you, you are not going to be jobless. Just relax, I promise you. Please I wanna talk to him for sometime alone." Anika said looking into his face. Althaf moved his eyes from Anika to Shivay, who nodded in yes. He walked out of the room and Anka turned to him.

"Hello Mr.Oberoi, nice to meet you." Anika said giving him a sarcastic smile. Shivay tried to smile but failed miserably.

"So? What are you doing in my boss's cabin Mr.Oberoi?" She asked, crossing her hands infront of her chest, with a demanding look.

"Uuhh.... Ani...Anika, woh...." He gulped looking at her. She raised her eyebrows.

"Oh, just a minute..." Anika walked to him with mild steps and stood infront of him.

"Are you my boss?" She asked acting to be thinking. She fake gasped with a surprised face.

"Oh yeah, you are. If not, then why Althaf didn't scold me when I came late? And more than that, how did he know that I didn't had my breakfast." She asked giving him confused look. Shivay tried to say something but she cut him in between.

"Oh, no no, you are not my boss, because you already told me in the morning that you are The Shivay Singh Oberoi who can do anything. Then ordering an employee of any random boss, is so simple for you right." She said giving him its so easy type look.

"Anika listen to me..." Shivay said but Anika showed her hand, stoping him.

"Shivay I thought you trust me, but you don't. You don't even think of me as a family, cause you family know that this company where I am working is owned by you, but I don't know. And you don't told me, because you don't trust me." She said looking straight into his eyes. Shivay shook his head in no, trying to speak.

"Its okay Shivay. And I am resigning from my job. Because I wanted a job on my capacity and ability. But now, I am sure, when you said I will get this job, you were actually made your mind to hire me, cause I am your so called fiance. I don't want a job like this. So I am resigning, i'll give my resignation letter tomorrow only. Bye." She said and walked out of the cabin angrily. Shivay was frozen in his feet, hearing all the things which he didn't even imagined.

"Anika, listen to me yaar..." He ran behind her.

Althaf saw Anika walking fast, out of Shivay's cabin, towards her and taking out her bag, she walked out of the building. Just after 5 second, he saw his Shivay Sir running behind her, begging her to listen to him once.

"Kamal hei, hamei ungliyo pe nachane wala khud kisi ke isharo pe naach raha hei." He said to himself. Suddenly Shivay came to him.

"Althaf, collect my stuffs from my cabin and keep it in my car." He said and Althaf nodded his head. Immediately Shivay ran back to the way, where Anika marched.

Reaching the main gate, Shivay saw Anika standing there, trying to get an auto as her scooty was in Oberoi Mansion, and now it along with her dresses and other stuffs would have reached her house. Shivay ran to her.

"Anika listen to me..." He said but Anika gave him deaf ears.

"Anika please, give me one chance to explain atleast." He said again, holding her forearm. She jerked his hand.

"I don't wanna listen anything. Auto...." She said and tried to get an auto. One man stopped his auto and Anika tried to sit inside but Shivay pulled her back.

"You are not going by any auto, understood?" Shivay said angrily and turned to the auto driver.

"And you, what are you looking at? Any girl would just call and will come flying. Now fly back just like you came." Shivay said angrily. Anika suppressed her laugh hearing him.

"Oh madam, if you want get in, or else I am going." The auto driver said to Anika.

"Haa bhaiya, I am coming." She again tried to get in and Shivay again pulled her back.

"Don't you understand? She don't want a lift. Now leave or else, it would be the last ride of yours." Shivay said dangerously and the auto driver immediately left from there, scared.

"What is your problem haan? Leave me , let me go home." Anika said trying to free herself from his hold.

Shivay pulled her to him and she landed on his chest.

"Leave me Shivay." She whispered looking down.

Suddenly Anika gasped feeling herself above from the ground.

Shivay lifted her in his arm and walked inside the parking lot.

•°•
°•°

Althaf stood there like a statue, watching his boss, walking inside the parking lot, with Anika in his hand. She was wiggling im his hand, telling him to leave her.

Shivay came near the car with Anika.

"Did you kept my stuffs inside?" Shivay asked and Althaf nodded his head. Shovay wad about to say something but Althaf cut him off.

"Sir, you can't do this." He said, collecting all his guts.

"Do what?" Shivay asked sternly.

"You can't take Anika like this, without her permission. I know I am just an employee but she is my friend and I can't allow you to do this. Please leave her and let her go home." Althaf said in a breath. Anika smirked and suddenly made an innocent face.

"Haa Althaf, see he is forcefully taking me somewhere, please save me." She said acting to be scared. Shivay looked at her and saw that she is trying hiding her smirk. Shivay raised his eyebrows at her drama, nodding his head to himself.

"Althaf, its none of your business. You are office manager here, so just do your work. Don't interfere in this. Now open the door and leave." Shivay said glaring him. Anika shook her head in no, looking at Althaf with worried face.

"And you, stop your drama first." Shivay said turning his face to Anika. She pouted looking at him.

"Open the door Althaf." Shivay shouted but he didn't move.

"No sir, I can't. Unless or until you won't tell me where you are taking her. Because, here she is my responsibly, all day she works with me." Althaf said determined.

"I'll take my fiance wherever I want, why should I tell you?" Shivay roared.

Anika was frozen, she was surprised as Shivay openly called her fiance, for the first time to someone other than the family. She was looking at him without blinking.

Where as Althaf was totally shocked. His eyes widened and jaw dropped down.

"Y...you....your what?" He asked not being able to believe.

"My fiance. We are engaged, from past one month. Is it enough or should I give you her adress as well?" Shivay shouted, bringing Althaf from the shocked state.

He slowly looked at Anika with questioning expression, who too looked at him nodding her head. Althaf gulped realising the blunder he was making. He came to car and opened the door of the passenger seat slowly.

Shivay placed Anika inside and made her wear the seatbelt. Standing straight, he closed the door and turned to Althaf, glaring him.

"Have a nice journey sir." Althaf said shivering.

"Isko ghar chodne jaa raha hu, London chodne nahi." Shivay said rolling his head. Althaf gave a toothy smile. Suddenly Shivay hugged him making him statue. His boss hugging someone is a miracle, which never happens and here he got it.

"Thank you for worrying for her. Now I can leave her here without any worry. You'll take care of her." Shivay said smiling and broke the hug. Althaf smiled at him.

Anika was looking at the duo shocked. Shivay being so free with Althaf is so surprising and shocking for her.

"Yes sir, i'll take care of her." Althaf said assuring. Shivay nodded his head.

"Now you too go home." Shivay said walking to the driving seat. He settled inside and was about to start the care when something came into his mind. He looked at Althaf, from Anika's side.

"Althaf, along with her, take care to develop only brotherly feelings for her." Shivay said more sounding like a warning. Anika looked at him jaw dropped. Althaf chuckled.

"Don't worry sir, if you forgot let me remind you, I am already married to my love." He said giggling.

"Oh yeah. Okay then, bye." Shivay said as realisation hit him. Althaf bid bye to them and left from there.

Shivay looked at Anika who was not minding him. He took out his phone and dialled someone's number.

"Hello Mom...." Anika looked at Shovay frowning.

"Actually, is it okay of I dropped Anika tomorrow?" He asked and now she realised whom he is calling.

"Okay thank you mom." He said and cut the call.

"I want to go home now." Anika said but Shivay gave her deaf ears.

"I said I want to go home NOW." Anika roared but Shivay didn't mind and started the car.

"Urrrggg...." She groaned and sat puffing her cheeks. Shivay chuckled looking at her.

•°•
°•°

With half an hour the car jolted infront of a house. It was a deserted type place, with no other houses around, no people around, not more than 2-3 vehicles passing by with 10-15 minutes gap.

Anika looked around, sensing a new place.

"Why are we here? And which place is this?" She asked being a little scary with the darkness around.

"Don't worry. Let's go inside." He said and come out of the car marching towards her side and opened the door for her. She came out.

Both walked towards the house. Anika was scared with the darkness, so she clutched on his hand with her both hands scooting close to him. Shivay wrapped his hand around her shoulder, pulling her towards him. He wrapped her hands around his waist hugging him and both walked towards the house.

Shivay opened the door and both entered inside, with Anika still clinging on him. He switched on the light. As soon as the lights came, she jerked her hands from him making his jaw drop down.

"Go and freshen up. Room is upside. I'll too get freshen up by then." He said composing himself.

"Haa, aur yaha pe toh mere papa ke clothing ka business hei na jo muje freshen up hone ke baad pehen ne keliye readymade kapde mil jayenge." She said sarcastically.

Shivay take out the phone from his pocket and called someone. Anika was eager to know whom he was calling.

"Khanna, bring Anika's dresses to my farm house and did you reached her scooty to Mehta Mansion?" He got no as a reply.

"Are you waiting for any Muhurat? Do it right now, but before that bring her dresses and other items here. Just scooty should be reached there." Khanna replied with yes sir and Shivay cut the call then turned to Anika.

"Wait for half an hour, your dresses will be here by then and i'll be back after freshening up. He said and walked upstairs.

Anika started to examine the house. Observing each and every corner downstairs she decided to go upstairs. She climbed the stairs.

She was mesmerised by the interiors of the farm house. She was observing everything when Shivay came out from the room after freshening up. He walked to her and stood infront of her.

" will you care to explain why are we here?" Anika asked rolling her eyes.

"I'll. But first get freshen up and we'll have dinner. After that we can talk calmly." Just then they heard a calling bell. Both walked downstairs. Shivay opened the door and saw Khanna with a bag.

"Sir ma'am's clothes." He gave the bag to Shivay. Khanna left from there and Shivay closed the door. Turning to Anika, he gave the bag to her.

"Freshen up and come, i'll make dinner by then." He said and she walked upstairs with the bag. Shivay moved to Kitchen.

•°•
°•°

After 20 minute, Anika came downstairs, after freshening up. She walked to the Kitchen and saw Shivay making dinner. She walked there and stood beside him. He tilted his face towards her and gave her a smile. Anika twisted her mouth and looked back to the food. Shivay giggled.

"Just 10 more minute Anika then Dinner is ready." He said stirring the food. Anika said nothing.

After sometimes, he switched off the gas and served thr food into two plates.

"Here you go." He said forwarding the plate of pasta to her. She took it and kept it aside making him confused. He too kept his food beside and looked at her.

"What happened Anika? Aren't you hungry?" He asked but before she could reply, her stomach gave him signal. She looked here and there where he smiled.

"See, your stomach is making different different sounds. Have the dinner Anika." He said softly.

"I won't eat till you answer my question." Anika said sternly.

"What question?" He asked frowning. Anika rolled her eyes.

"That, what are we doing here? Why did you bring me here?" She asked looking straight into his eyes.

"Anika I told you we'll talk on that after dinner." Shivay said trying to make her understand.

"If you want me to have the dinner, then first tell me the reason." Anika said looking opposite. Shivay sighed knowing she won't listen to him.

Shivay came close to her and held her waist making her gasp. He lifted her and made her sit on the kitchen slab and he stood between her legs. Anika gulped feeling him so close like this.

He kept his hands either side of her and stood looking straight into her eyes.

"Anika, Prior is my and my Sibling's dream project. That's not owned by the oberoi brothers but by just Shivay Om and Rudra. Woh kisi or ka sapna tha par usse saakar karna ham teeno ka farz thaa. Uska sapna hamara bangaya. We didn't wanted to make an appear with Oberois tag. We wanted to build up our Prior by our own hard work. And we did it. Prior is the number one fashion house in India right now." Shivay said looking into her eyes. Then he bend his head, holding her hand.

"I didn't wanted to hide it. Trust me, I was about to reveal it to you in some days, but you just appeared today just like a storm." He said making her jaw drop.

"Haawww, did you just call me a storm?" She asked glaring him.

"Like seriously Anika? I am confessing something and all you got focussed on the word Storm." He rolled his eyes. Anika looked here and there. He tightened the grip on her hand making her look at him.

"Anika I am sorry for hiding it. Its just, I don't wanted to make Prior, successful with Oberois tag thats it. And I have never appeared infront of the world. All my deals are managed either by Khanna or Althaf. And now I have you to deal with it." He said looking at her.

"There are some more things I have hiden from you. I'll tell you all that slowly. I can't say everything in a go Anika. I...I have a past, which I wanted to leave behind but I am not able to. And I...I fear that you... You will leave me if....if I told you that. I don't want you to leave me Anika. please forgive me Anika, I am sorry." He said as his eyes got moistured.

Anika cupped his face and made him look at her.

"I am never gonna leave you Shivay, never ever. No matter what, no matter whatever situations come, whoever tried to seperate us. I'll always be there beside you, understood?" She said caressing his stubble.

Shivay nodded his head and hugged her tightly, hiding his face into the crook of her neck. Anika hugged him back rubbing his back. She broke the hug and cupped his face. Bringing his face towards her's, she kissed on his forehead and wiped his tears.

"Mujhe bhuk lagi hei." She said pouting making him giggle. He took thr pasta and gave it to her and took his own. Both finished the dinner chit chatting.

After dinner, Shivay called OmRu and informed that he is staying in his farmhouse today and they teased as Khanna already tod them that Anika is with Shivay.

Anika too called her parents and talked to them for sometime.

Anika was about to enter her room when Shivay stopped her. She raised her eyebrows.

"Stay with me." He said dragging her to his room. Both settled on the bed and slept hugging eachother with a smile on their face.
