Anika came back to thier room and noticed Shivaay working again. She closed the door of their room which caught his attention. She turned towards him when Shivaay asked her not to close the door which confused her. She thought now she can ask him about his problem.

"Don't... I mean I have to go to the study room", Shivaay said when he heard the locking sound of the door. He doesn't want to disturb Anika, he doesn't know how much time it will take him to work so he can't guarantee that she will be able to sleep or not. He thought it is better to leave the room rather than disturb her sleep

"You can work here too I will sleep", Anika said and came towards Shivaay. Shivaay nodded not knowing if he should argue or not. If it was someone else he would have asked them to leave the room but he can't ask her to leave. Moreover, he can't even gather the courage to leave the room by ignoring her words

Anika forwarded his heart medicines to him. Shivaay looked toward her as it was the first time Anika gave him correct medicine's before she was unaware of his medicines.

"I will..", he said but Anika cuts him

"Take them now. And You will not eat sleeping medicines ever. Tomorrow we will visit a doctor if you want", Anika said which looked like an order to him. He looked aside controlling his anger, he is already tensed and angry at himself for ignoring work like this and now she is here ordering him which is angering him more. He don't hear anyone's order, he clenched his fist controlling himself and nodded. He doesn't want to hurt her in his anger so it's better to leave, he thought.

"Ok we will visit a doctor as well", he replied and left towards the poolside after eating his medicines. He doesn't know why but he was getting angry hearing her which he should not. He sighed and started checking emails, he have much work pending but no time. He knows if he stayed there then he would start shouting at her without any fault just like he does in the office but she is not his mere employee but his wife who has the right to question him.

Anika layed ok bed after Shivaay left from there. She tried sleeping but was unable to because her thoughts were revolving around him. She knows he is facing some problem which he can't tell but she wants to help him anyhow. She Got up and walked towards the poolside in slow steps. She noticed he was still working.

"Shivaay", called Anika. Shivaay looked towards her and gestured for her to come there

"You should sleep. Don't wait like this for me it will take time otherwise from next time I have to choose an office in this way least you will sleep properly", Shivaay said warning her. He doesn't want her to stay awake till he sleeps.

"Even I know the business. I can help you", Anika said and sat near him. Shivaay looked towards her and then at his laptop, she is just trying to help him but he don't want to shout at her for a single mistake. He kept quiet and let her do what she wants, he know very well that she is hardworking and educated so she will not do mistakes.

"And I will not hear no. I know business but I thought to leave it a few months ago. But I would love to work if you are my boss", Anika said taking his laptop from his hands. Shivaay chuckled hearing her, he asked her to leave his office and she actually decided to leave. He didn't let her know but he was sad about the fact that he can't see her in his office. He want to admire her every time but he understood from her dream that this is not possible

"Don't give me fake hopes just focus on your dream", he said and then realised what he said when Anika asked

"Fake hope?",

"I mean lies.... Take this and check emails. And copy every information to this folder. This contains other information as well", Shivaay said diverting the topic because he don't want to tell her he wanted her to work with him. He doesn't want to become a hurdle in her dreams.

"Ohh okay. Do you mean this is your secured folder?", asked Anika to which Shivaay hummed

"At least use words to reply. I am feeling like someone forced you to talk with me", Anika said being irritated by his behaviour. Shivaay was about to nod but seeing Anika's glare he replied

"Yes and this work is easy to do this soon", he said and looked down. He was tired of checking emails, he find this work very difficult but he can't give this to any employee because this contains every information regarding his office

"Ok ", she replied with a smile because she know what secured files hold. She will get every information regarding his office. She noticed Shivaay checking a few files and taking a tab out of the drawer and turned to see her staring at him. When he looked toward her Anika turned her face aside but after a few seconds she looked at him to see him looking at her already

"And If you came here to check if I will sleep or not then leave as I can't and if you want to help then do what I said and then sleep", Shivaay said noticing the time. It's already 12 and this girl is sitting here like it is just evening. He wants to sleep but if he skipped work then he will face loss. Moreover, he has many meetings tomorrow for he has to prepare a presentation as well. If Anika will check and copies emails half of the work will be done

"Vo... I was...", Anika started in nervousness because she is caught red-handed staring at him. She don't want to hear his shout right now so she tried giving an excuse but nothing came out of her mouth. Shivaay noticed from her eyes and face that she is scared of him he took a long breath and sat in front of her

"No need to reply. Do what you want ", he said softly Anika nodded, if anyone else said this then she would have thought of this as a taunt but not with him because she know he will never.

She started copying emails and it took half an hour for her to complete work as half was already complete. After completing she gave his laptop to him because she know he have much work pending, mails told her about most of his work. He has many meetings fixed for 3 months and many industry visits as well. She sat near him and looked down because it was his helplessness to let her know everything regarding his business.

She understood he is very busy and is facing loss. Just because he skipped a few days of office because of her, He received emails of warning as well which she opened today, which meant he was unable to work properly.

"I am sorry...I will never ask you to skip work", Anika said with guilt in her eyes. Shivaay who was working on the tab looked at her, he didn't know what she was thinking. He thought she is tired and is resting near him but her words are opposite from his thinking

"What are you saying?", he asked and then he noticed opened folder on his laptop. He realised that she know everything now and is thinking that it is her fault

"It is not your fault. This is normal in business and it is my mistake that I was unable to check these. Don't worry I will handle everything. I can take holidays Anika that happened because even bade papa was not looking at business. Why are you blaming Yourself?", Shivaay asked and cupped her cheeks. He wiped fresh tears from her face and kissed her forehead. Anika closed her eyes feeling bliss, she believe him that he always says the truth but today she is feeling like he just said this to comfort her

"Because you received a warning after our marriage", Anika replied

"So what? Stop behaving childish and don't regret it because you are not at fault. And I would love it if my wife will stop me as I love spending time with her", he said to lighten her mood. Anika smiled because she came toward him to light his mood but here it is the opposite rather than her, he is trying to light her mood

"Time.. oh I forgot to ask this. Every year we celebrate the death anniversary of my mother. She is alive but.... I am still unable to tell this Gauri. she is calling me there so can I meet her the day after tomorrow? I mean can I stay there?", asked Anika without looking into his eyes as she is already sad from the fact that now she has to take permission from him to visit her own home, she will go there as a guest now which is eating her from inside. She doesn't want to cry every time in front of him but she can't do anything, she has everything changed here. She doesn't want to leave him but at the same time, she wants to meet her family again. She misses them daily but doesn't talk because she doesn't want to disturb them

"Sure but don't worry. No one will tell her and if possible then don't regret it", Shivaay said with a smile

"Only if you will give me half of your work. Tomorrow I am free so will help you. Even you can't take the stress. Hugh, first you will take that much stress and then will complain why I have sleepless nights", Anika said

"Ok if you want this then I will. Thank you as I really can't give this work to anyone. What if that person ditched me and told that information to someone else", he said and looked toward her

"Wait don't look like this I will never do anything such... Don't give that work to me then", Anika said while looking into his eyes. Shivaay chuckled hearing her reply

"If I could then I would be enjoying here. I can't ask anyone to do this for me but I trust you that's why I am giving you this. Please don't break this trust ever because I may not be able to trust anyone again", Shivaay requested Anika by holding her hand in his. Anika felt the seriousness in his voice and nodded. She can do anything but never let this trust break

"I will die but will never break your trust. I will never", Anika said
