"Why did she call us? Do you know the reason?" - He asked her suspiciously when they finally landed in Mumbai to visit her. Even Anika didn't know the reason. But she knew something she called her after her father invited her to the wedding.

"Even I don't know the reason. But yeah, She definitely would have called for a reason." - Anika said while walking with him.

"You know one thing, Papa said she's the first person who held me as soon as I born even before my parents." - Anika said with a pleasant smile, Shivaay read the happiness in her face, and also this information was new to him. But he remained silent and smilingly.

"How?" - He asked.

"Mumma Papa had a huge fight just fifteen days before my birth, Taking me in her womb my mom boarded the flight to Mumbai and reached her house. Divya maasi is more like a family. She became the bestest friend for my mom within two to three minutes. When she was there in her house, Mumma got labor, I was born, So technically she held me in her hands first." - Anika said with a chuckle. Shivaay chuckled back. But never failed to sense the love she had for her in her heart.

"Oh god, How can your father let his pregnant wife go alone, That too when she was in the last stage of her pregnancy?" - Shivaay asked her.

Anika controlled her chuckle and said, "I born in 8 months." He was shocked.

"Oh my god, You're not fully developed." - He asked her.

"Nope. I was in the incubator for a while and that's the main reason behind being an over-pampered child. And also promised of never fighting with my mom ever in his life even she's wrong." - Anika said with a smile thinking about the past.

"He should take the wrath when he found his wife pregnant." - Shivaay commented. Anika chuckled in an instant.

"Why are you laughing?" - He asked her confusingly.

"Even there's a story behind it, I will tell you afterward." - She said, But shivaay insisted. She stayed silent and didn't talk about that.

Anika called Divya as soon as they reached the address she messaged her. She was standing right in front of her lavish boutique. Anika turned to the other side, But when shivaay saw arriving from the front door. He nudged anika and she turned around.

"Hey! How did you know she's Divya?" - Anika asked him. Before he could reply Divya approached them.

"Hi, Maasi. How are you?" - Anika greeted her with the tightest hug.

"Fine dear, How are you?" - She asked while pinching her cheeks.

"Great." - She said and turned around shivaay to introduce him.

"This is." - Anika started.

"Shivaay, I know." - She replied and gave him a warm hug.

"Hi, Aunty." - He greeted her back.

"Aunty, Seriously? Call me Massi, Like Anika does." - She replied and welcomed both of them inside. It was the most lavish store Anika had ever seen in her life. And every piece of her work is her masterpiece. Divya was a well-known fashion designer by profession.

"I feel like taking everything to my home." - Anika exclaimed looking at her work.

"Who's stopping you? Go ahead, baby." - She said while proceeding her way towards her cabin. Anika knew she has been designing for the leading actors and actress of the Bollywood. As per anika's guess, She called her for offering some of her works for her wedding but she wasn't sure.

"You know shivaay, Exactly seven years back, There was a customer, Not a customer but she's more like a family. She called me one morning and sent a design through the mail. It was a design for a lehenga. And she asked me to design it for her daughter's wedding." - Divya said walking towards her cabin while addressing all the staff who were working.

"Wow." - He responded, He finally understood why she called him there. He already knew the story behind the lehenga which made for her but bhavya wore it on her wedding her mom asked her to design. Anika had told him zillion times.

"You have no idea, How many times I had to start it from scratch?" - She said while opening her most secured wardrobe.

"Who's that lady to trouble you?" - Anika asked while chuckling to her story. Divya didn't reply anything but took out the lehenga from her wardrobe. Shivaay offered to help when she was struggling with the weight. They placed it in the table.

"I asked you something." - Anika stopped when shivaay and Divya removed the cover from the lehenga. It was in the color of sky blue. And the whole lehenga was sparkling in red and white stones. Anika forgot to breathe when she had the whole view of it, Her hands started to shake when she touched the lehenga. It was a zillion percentage more than her dream lehenga. She took her phone from the pocket and turned on the flashlight.

"Oh my god, They are Canadian diamonds." - She said glancing her eyes from shivaay to Divya who smiled looking at her surprised face.

"And these Red ones are rubies." - She said pointing out the red stop in the top. Anika forgot to blink, She never thought she would get this mesmerized seeing a dress, Anika couldn't speak, She was stuck from the deep of her throat. But her facial expression changed when she realized that this beautiful lehenga belonged to someone else.

"And you know whose that lady." - Divya asked her. Anika nodded no.

"It's Mrs. Anusha Trivedi." - Divya replied with the smirk in her face. Anika's lips parted when she heard her mom's name from her mouth. She never expected that. She knew her mom always wanted to see her as a bride. But this information was completely new to her, She couldn't gather up anything but tears crossed her eyes when she said her mom's name.

"Baby!" - Shivaay whispered when he saw tears in her eyes. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"When did it happen?" - Anika asked after many failed attempts.

"Before 7 years, She sent me the sketch of this lehenga and asked me to design it for your wedding. She was in a hurry. But I managed to do it within 7 months. She was delighted like you when she saw this lehenga for the first time." - Divya said while cupping her face.

"Oh my god, Is this happening for real? I think I am dreaming. I never imagined this ever in my dream."- Anika exclaimed, Her tone choked due to loads of happiness hit her at the same time. Shivaay parallelly recalled the moment, when she denied taking anything from the family and also the moment when she saw her sister wearing this lehenga in the social media. Even she didn't say anything to shivaay, He sensed her silent tears, But over then, He can't do anything. But now, Seeing everything happening, Even he felt like a dream.

"It's real, And that's why I called you both here." - Divya said looking both.

"Divya Matur. You're a genius. Thank you so much." - Anika threw herself to her and gave her the tightest hug.

"Will you say thanks to your mom, That's not fair." - She said and hugged her back. Shivaay remained delighted and smiled on the other hand. He now realized the fate has its play. If the last time was mistaken, And another chance is to correct the mistakes. Her father did only one mistake last time, He underestimated her and hid her mom's condition from her. And in the second chance, He almost tried to correct everything. Now there is no misunderstanding with anyone.

"And How can I let your groom go empty-handed?" - She said and moved towards the wardrobe and took out a matching sherwani. Even that sherwani has worked in it.

"I can't accept it." - He said in an instant when he realized it was embroidered with the same diamonds and rubies in the collar and the end of the hand sleeve.

"You're not allowed to say no. It's a gift from the bride-side groom. And Divya Mathur designed this masterpiece for my daughter's groom." - She said in a stern tone, For a moment, He sensed Anika's father in her tone.

"Okay, But our marriage got fixed only before 2 days, How could you manage to design the perfect pair for this lehenga? I mean, Ani. Look at this design." - He showed the perfection of the lehenga to anika.

"I started my work before 2 years, When harsh told me about you in the kindest way. He was not sure then, But I was sure. I met you a couple of times in television when your food-delivery application became famous. I hope it fits you." - Divya said and took the sherwani from the table and matched with his shoulder side.

"I think it will be a little loose." - Divya asked shivaay.

"No, Maasi. I guess it will fit me correctly." - Shivaay said looking at the mirror. And glancing himself before the mirror.

"I don't think so. Do one thing, I think I have to fit Anika's lehenga also. I will do the fittings and bring it after 10 days." - She said looking at the mirror.

"You know right, Marriage is within 18 days." - Anika asked her.

"Yeah but." - Divya said. She stopped her.

"No but's and If's. You're coming us, or else two days, Papa losing his mind. He called every family member including mom's brother. You know the conflict, I can't take stress, Please come soon. You know yesterday bhavya made me as a lab rat, Tried 13 shades of foundation in my face. It's already being so difficult, Please don't make it so difficult saying this." - Anika said in a one go. Divya blinked continuously hearing her. But shivaay felt so happy. Previously when they were getting married, There was nobody with them and now with all these dramas an emotional ride, He was feeling too high.

"Okay, That sounds an issue. But I can't come with you guys, I need to fit your outfits and yeah I tried to call your mom for showing this outfit but she didn't attend my call. Please call me and give it to me." - She asked shivaay, Anika's expression changed in an instant when she said his mom didn't pick her calls.

"Maybe she was too busy with the wedding preparations," - Shivaay said and called her. She attended his call in the second ring.

"Shivaay, We are selecting your sherwani. I will send you pictures to tell me which you like." - She said without hearing what he was about to say in the other hand.

"Mom. I selected it before. Divya Aunty tried to call you I think, But you didn't attend the call. So she wanted to talk to you." - Shivaay said and gave the phone to her.

"Namasthe Pinky ji." - She started and took the phone aside. Anika noted her facial expression but Divya managed to stay calm handling the conversation with her. Shivaay didn't fail to notice it the worries in Anika's face.

"They are just talking, Ani. Relax."- He said to her.

"What if she didn't approve to wear me this at our wedding? The bride should wear red color lehenga know. And it's sky blue. Will she like it?" - Anika asked him in a worried tone.

"Ani! This is our wedding outfits. So relax. People wear different color lehenga in their wedding. We are not the first person to break the rule. It's already broken. Whatever happens, you will wear this lehenga. Not because it made up of rubies and diamonds but because it's your mom's blessings for our wedding. So relax." - He consoled her.

"Don't force her if she didn't like it. We even need her blessing, She's your mom. If she's saying something there must be a reason behind." - Anika replied to shivaay, Her tone was too low, She even wanted to wear this lehenga and also didn't want to hurt anyone.

"Ani. Relax. Now you're taking unwanted stress." - He said hugging her widely. Divya returned with a smile.

"I talked with your dad and your saas. You dad commanded me to be in Delhi within this evening, And your mother-in-law is fine with everything but she wanted to see everything in person, Once. I guess I have to take this along and go with you guys." - Divya said The worries turned into happiness.

"And for the rest of the ceremonies, Your mother-in-law already chose your outfits."- Divya added with a smile.

***********

When shivaay and Anika showed the outfits to his parents, They were slightly taken back to see the work and praised Divya for creating the masterpiece. But Divya didn't take the whole credit and told them how Anusha dreamed of her daughter's wedding. Hearing it, Harsh became a little emotional. Seeing him in that state, Divya stopped whatever she was talking about. Shivaay never failed to notice the lowness in her voice after seeing Harsh in tears. He silently observed everything.

"Cards came." - Pinky sounded genuinely happy when she got a call from the printing service. Pinky asked to bring it to Anika's house. The progress Pinky and Shakthi were showing made people suspicious, Especially Her two friends who stayed in her house from day 1 they started speaking about their wedding.

"First keep it in god's feet." - Dadi said when Pinky was about to open the card and gifts.

"I forget about it Mummyji. You know what I can't stop myself from seeing my son's name in the card." - She said and asked for the way to the pooja room. Bhavya accompanied her with such delicacy. Anika accompanied them. Dadi did small pooja, And the read the invitation aloud.

"Shivaay Singh Oberoi Sang Anika Trivedi"

A chill passes in their vein when dadi read their particularly, It was a completely new feeling for him. He never experienced happiness over little things ever in his life. But every time harsh couldn't stop himself from missing his wife, Anusha trivedi. He silently cried every time. Divya held his hands and consoled him. It's a fact, It's not only difficult but impossible to forget the traces of true love from our heart. For Harsh, It's only Anusha and for Divya, it's only harsh. Neither Harsh could move on, nor Divya. It's like parallel tracks that never meant to be met at any point in time. Even if it gets joined, The whole train will collapse. Shivaay understood it after observing them for the past three days. And concluded it, Some relationships aren't meant to get united. It's nothing but the reality of life.
