"Talking about family so now you know about Priyanka but not others so I am allergic with Tobacco sauce, Om from dust, Rudra from mushroom, dadi from paint...... What about you?", Shivaay told and asked about her. Anika looked here and there before replying

"Ittar (  strong perfume)", replied Anika

"If you still don't believe me you can shout at me but don't ever talk about my father in front of me as more than angry I am hurt when I think about him. Even you don't have your parents right", he asked to which Anika nodded. Shivaay stated this fact as nothing can hurt him more than this comparison. He can't become like him. He will never cheat her, thought Shivaay

"I don't even care too. What if I don't have parents? I have my family who loves me that's enough more than that I am enough for myself. You are mysterious. A while ago you were shouting at me and now you are sitting with me calmly", said Anika as she is shocked by his behaviour. He realised his mistake himself shocked her as mostly in these cases boy never accepts his mistake

"Yes as I realised my mistake and bade... I mean I know said too much without your mistake so asked for forgiveness. And I promise I will never disappoint you. I will never cheat you... I can never", he said Anika looked at him who was talking with himself. He was trying to satisfy himself more than her. Anika understood that maybe his bade Papa's words hurt him very much

"Anyways let's go back", he said and started walking inside when Anika called his name

"Shivaay wait", she called. Shivaay turned towards Anika and waited for her to stand with him.

"You need to understand that..  everything can't work as per your thinking. Trust yourself and others too", said Anika. Shivaay nodded being hesitant as these things are not made for him

"Am I forgiven? ", He asked

"Not so soon Mr Oberoi. But one thing I want to ask from you. Are you fine if we will marry on the same day when Priyanka and Daksh are going to marry!", Asked Anika which shocked him. He was more shocked by Mr Oberoi's words. He doesn't know now if it is her real anger or fake.

Anika went inside Priyanka's ward as she took his silence in another way as his silence disturbed her. Shivaay noticed her going and followed her

"Listen", he called her to gain her attention. Anika looked toward him for an answer

"Why you called me Mr Oberoi? Was it sarcasm? Or something else?", he asked being impatient. Anika giggled hearing his voice as he was on another track.

"Haha I called normally ", she said to which he sighed in relief otherwise his family do the same whenever they are angry they use his surname to call him. Happily, Anika is not like them. He then remembered what she asked

"Vo... If you are ready then even I am ready for marriage. But we will be friends ok?", he asked to which Anika nodded with a smile

"Anything else?", she asked. Shivaay shooked his head and sat near Priyanka

"She is my life. I can do anything for her happiness. Even a scratch on her body scares me... I don't want her to leave me but she has to", he said with a sad smile

"So what? You are going to take revenge on my brother by snatching me from him. Even he loves me", said Anika. Shivaay smiled a little hearing her reply which is genuine actually but not totally because he is not marrying her for revenge

"That I know but I am not marrying you for revenge", he told her

"Ok, but if something happened in future because of Daksh then will you take revenge?", asked Anika as she is scared of his today's behaviour. What if he blamed her again in future for his sister

"If Daksh is at mistake then definitely I will punish him not you. I will never. I am sorry for today if possible please forgive me I will never repeat it ", he asked for forgiveness again. Anika looked towards Priyanka and then him who was hoping for her forgiveness. Anika came forward to hug him but then she remembered he don't know how to hug so she pulled his cheeks and said ok

"But don't repeat same without knowing whole matter Shivaay. Dosa will be there you can taste it I didn't mix..", she tried explaining when he stopped her by placing his hand on her lips

"Shh don't", he said. Anika looked towards his hand which was on her lips. Shivaay immediately took his hand back and pulled his hand in his pocket

"Sorry", he whispered. Anika smiled as he is a very shy type of boy just like Omru told her who doesn't know anything regarding marriage

" If you want I can drop you home now?", He asked after a minute of silence

"No I am fine here", she replied and sat with Shivaay there

They talked for a while when Priyanka woke up and asked Shivaay if he blamed Anika or not. He was going to tell her the truth but Anika stopped him by saying she is not fine now which ashamed him more. That day Shivaay stayed there after dropping Anika back home. The next day Priyanka was discharged from the hospital. Anika, Daksh came to meet her and stayed till night there for Priyanka who was bored because of Shivaay's strict orders

After one week Priyanka was completely fine so everyone decided to start marriage preparations as well as rituals.

During the mehndi ceremony the whole day Shivaay was busy in meetings as he was forced to stay in Oberoi Mansion but he doesn't like rituals. He didn't argue much as he want to see Anika happy as well so when she called him he walked towards her and found his name in her hand after 10 minutes. Dadi asked them to stay away till marriage to which he said that he can't as they both don't know each other and it will make it difficult for them to work for this marriage in future

Sangeet and Haldi's ceremony went happily. Even Shivaay was happy when he found his family enjoying wedding rituals. Priyanka asked for wedding photoshoot videos which he denied for a while. He asked her to wait till marriage after marriage they can.

Haldi's ceremony was a bit irritating to him as Rudra was teasing him a lot that he will be married. He will lose his bachelor tag and many more...

Today is the bachelor party where they invited Daksh, Anika and Gauri as well. Anika came after making Sahil sleep. Shivaay was going towards the poolside when he noticed Anika coming inside Mansion wearing a black saree which was suiting her very well. Her black earrings shined because of the light. Shivaay stared at her when she was entering Oberoi Mansion.

"She is looking so beautiful", he thought and kept staring at her. Anika stand in front of him and noticed him staring at her. She looked down with blush because of his gaze. She waited for a minute but when he didn't react she tapped his shoulder

"Shivaay", called Anika which forced him to come out of his dreamland. He looked toward her and asked what

"Nothing let's go", she said as she noticed him embarrassed which he shouldn't be. So they started moving toward the poolside where every youngster was present. Shivika came there and sat with each as other seats were already taken by others.

"Now we will have Rudy's special punch", said Rudra while making drinks when Omru shouted

"No ways Rudra see girls are here ", shouted Shivaay to which Rudra pulled a cry-baby face

"Why are you stopping him? Rudra makes it", said Anika supporting Rudra.

"Anika don't..", he tried making Anika realise that she will fall into a big trap but she interrupted him

"I am not going to hear anything. Rudra make it", said Anika stubbornly and turned towards Rudra who nodded mischievously and added wine

"Rudra no drinks", Shivaay said but he was late as Rudra already mixed wine in their drinks.

After a minute he served them drinks. They started playing truth and dare while sipping drinks when after having a drink Anika felt like throwing out and ran from there

"Bhaiya goes with bhabhi", said Priyanka. Shivaay nodded and ran behind Anika being tensed when he noticed her running towards the washroom. When he came there Anika was holding her head near the washbasin. Shivaay filled her water glass and helped her to drink water

"Are you fine? ", He asked and caressed her hair. Anika nodded with tears and looked down

"I am sorry I ruined your bachelor party", Anika said with tears. She wiped her face with the towel and noticed that Shivaay was rubbing calming her by stroking his hand on her hair lightly.  Shivaay wiped Anika's tears with his hand

"You didn't Anika. It's not your mistake I think Rudra mixed wine in our drinks that's why it happened. Come let's go in my room", he said to which Anika Nodded
