Recap- Anika's working with her childhood friend Abhay to stop Ali without Shivaay's knowledge,

Abhay- Anika's childhood friend who was in love with her and Chanda's half brother.
Peehu- Abhay's ex wife
Ali- Abhay's enemy who wants revenge

Anika, you shouldn't have come alone. Shivaay will not like this remarked Abhay as he handed a glass of water to her.

I had no other choice you are never going to believe who is following me.

I am assuming you are talking about Daksh.

No, I am talking about Ali. I saw him and Daksh. They are working together.

Oh my god. I am so sorry Anika. This is all happening because of me.

Why are you apologising? It's not like it's your fault. Besides, you saved me from Ali all those years ago.

Have you told Shivaay?

I don't think it's a good idea right now. Can you take care of Anli without involving Shivaay? Our relationship is strained enough as it iss as Anika said this, she spilled some water over her white kurti.

Abhay could not help but notice how see through it had become.

I should go said Anika.

Wait, you can't go out like this. I'll give you a shirt said Abhay as he headed towards the closet.

What, no, I don't want ...

Your husband to see you in my shirt? Just wear this and change immediately. You said yourself that you Shivaay is preoccupied with the conference so he won't notice.

Later that night-

Shivaay had come home late that night. By that time, Anik was already in bed half asleep. She had come home feeling sick because elf the change in weather and fallen asleep. She has of course changed her clothes and discreetly hidden Abhay's shirt.

Shivaay slipped into bed with her.

What's wrong Anika?

I don't feel so good. I think I have a fever.

Wait, I'll grab the thermometer. After checking her temperature, Shivaay got worried.

You do have a fever. I'll call the doctor.

No, don't do that.

Why not baby? said Shivaay as he sat down beside Anika.

I think it's because I've been stressed lately and not getting proper sleep. It'll go away in the morning.

And why are you stressed?

Because of the way things have been happening ever since you found out about Abhay said Anika.

Anika, you and I both know who is in the right here said Shivaay as he made her sit up and handed a glass of water with a tablet.

Anika took the tablet and the two sat in silence on their bed.

I feel like you and I need to be more honest and open with each other Anika. Will your promise to tell me everything from now on?

Anika thought about all the times Shivaay had lied to her. This was the first time that she was lying to him. The truth was Anika did not want Shivaay to deal with her horrid past- Ali was an animal who wouldn't stop at anything and from what she had got to know from Abhay- Peehu was also unstoppable.

I promise I'll be more honest with you from now on lied Anika as she hugged her husband.
