Sun peeped out from the clouds and spread the sunrays. Anika stirred in her sleep as it directly hitted her face. She slowly opened her eyes adjusting to the brightness and tried to move. But she got stuck in something. She looked her side and saw the beautiful sight. Her Shivay is sleeping ever so cutely, hugging her through waist with one hand and another one is kept under her head. Anika's smile widened at the sight. She moved herself more towards him and hugged him tightly. Realising it, he hugged her more to him in the sleep. Anika kissed on his chest and again pushed her face into his chest smiling.

Shivay opened his eyes and looked down. Anika was lying there hugging him tightly with closed eyes. He smiled and kissed on her head. He was not asleep. He was aware of her each and every actions, so as she.

As soon as she got the kiss, her eyes opened jerked and she looked up straight into his eyes. They shared a deep eyelock.

"Good morning Shiv." She wished him.

"Hmm... Good morning." He wished her back stern. She pouted sadly hearing his stern voice. Shivay closed his eyes watching her poty lips which was inviting him to devour passionately.

"Get up, i ghave to go to office." Shivay said loosening his hand around her but he was lightly holding her. But Anika denied and hugged him more tightly making him smile.

"You smiled." Anika said exited.

"No." He immediately made his expression stern.

"Shivay... " She called him with too much laziness yet sweet enough to melt his heart.

"Hmm?" He hummed questioning.

"Are you mad at me?" She asked again like a baby.

"Hmm." He again hummed indicating that,he is.

"Sorry na Shiv, please forgive me please." She made a cute puppy face.

"No." He said stern. Both were lying in the same position like, Shivay held her lightly yet protectively and her hugging him tightly, looking at his face.

"You broke our promise. You didn't wait for me and just left. And even you hide your identity with your family power and made it impossible for me to find you. And you want me to forgive you easily?" Shivay asked with whole seriousness.

"Shiv... I was tied with promise. I got a promise on you.... How do you expect me to break that promise?" Anika asked as her eyes got watery.

"AND YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I WAS SEARCHING FOR YOU? I WAS SEARCHING FOR YOU LIKE A MAD PERSON. EVERY 6 MONTH I GO TO ONE OR THE OTHER COUNTRY TO SEARCH YOU. JUST LIKE THAT I MET GAURI, I WAS GOING TO GO ANOTHER COUNTRY THE NEXT DAY I MET YOU IN THE TEMPLE AFTER WHOLE 4 YEARS. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I THANKED THE GOD FOR REACHING YOU BACK TO ME? DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I WAS CRAVING FOR YOU? HOW MUCH I CRIED FOR YOU? DO YOU EVEN HAVE A LITTLE IDEA ABOUT THAT?DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU DAMN IT..." Shivay shouted making her scared a little but she composed herself and hugged him tightly. He was crying like hell. He hugged her tightly burying his face into the crook of her neck. Both were taking out their pain crying in eachother's embrace.

"I was like a corp which was living without its soul. I... I missed you so much Ani.... You know i was planning to take revenge on you for the last 4 years but...but i can't.... I can't stay away from you anymore. I love you Ani, i love you so so so much." Shivay saod crying into her neck.

"I love you too Shiv, i too can't live without you. " Anika whispered back crying. Both cried for almost one hour lying in the same position.

After composing themselves, both came out from the hug. He looked at her face which was wet with her tears. He brought his hand towards her face and wiped them off. Cupping her cheek with one hand and the other one holding her from beneath, he lingered his lips on her forehead. He joined his forehead with her.

"Don't you dare to leave me agin." Shivay said with closed eyes in the same position.

"Never." She said and looked into his face. Bringing her hand to his face, she wiped the tears from his face and kissed on his cheek. He smiled feeling her lips on his skin after a long period of time.

"I missed it." He admitted immediately.

"Me too." She also did the same.

"But i missed one thing more than anything." He said sounding mischief and naughty. Anika narrowed her eyebrows at him in suspicious. He smirked biting his lower lip which was making her nervous.

Shivay slowly brought his hand to her forehead and drag his index finger from her forehead to her cheek sensuously. Cupping her cheek he brought his thumb to her lips. Anika gulped her saliva shivering in his touch. Her heart was thumping against her chest so fast. He rubbed his thumb over her lips gazing it deeply.

"I missed it so much." He said making Anika red like a tomato.

"Mumma, papa..." They parted away hearing Ranvi's sweet voice. She opened the door and came to them. She climbed on the bed and lay in between them. Both smiled at her.

"Good morning Princess." Shivay said kissing her head.

"Good morning Papa." She said and sat on her knees. Shivay took her and made her sit on his stomach and pulled Anika to him. Ranvi lay on him keeping her head on his chest. Anika kept her her head on his one hand. With another, Shivay held Ranvi protectively.

"My kiss..." Shivay whispered to Anika. She smacked on his chest. He laughed a little and pulled her more to him. She hugged them keeping her hand on Ranvi. He hugged both and they again lay down like that for a while. Ranvi again slept on his chest.

Suddenly Shivay's phone rang. He attended it in the same position. Anika observed his expression changing into a serious one making her worried as well. Shivay cut the call and he stared at the ceiling, thinking something.

"Is there any problem Shiv?" Anika asked resulting him to look down into her face.

"He is back." Shivay said and Anika's eyes widened in horror.

"What?" She asked with shock.

"Hmm... And i am sure, changing Pandit ji also was his plan." Shivay said sighing. Shivay made Ranvi lay down beside Anika and got up. He bend down and kissed on both of their head and walked to the washroom taking out his suit from the wardrobe. Anika tucked the duvet on Ranvi and got down from the bed kissing her forehead.

Shivay came out from the washroom and Anika headed towards it.

"Ani..." Anika turned back to Shivay.

"Don't go anywhere without taking someone with you." Shivay said and Anika nodded her head understanding his point.

**************

Anika was in the kitchen, looking at the shelf which was filled with all the ingredients necessary for her. But she was confused how to use it. It was the first time she was seeing this much ingredients together in her entire life. She had a cute pout on her face which was the result of her confused state.

"Anika puttar, what are you doing here?" Anika turned around and saw Daadi standing at the entrance.

"Daadi, its my pehli rasoi, i have to make the breakfast na..." She said pouting.

"I don't know even the C of cooking." Anika said almost crying. Daadi came to her and cupped her face smiling.

"Here we have a rule and you know that right?" Daadi said and Anika nodded her head.

"But you said it right. Its your pehli rasoi so you have to make something." Daadi said and Anika bow her head down.

"Make whatever you know." Daadi said ever so cool.

"I only know how to make Maggie." Anika whispered in sad tone.

"Wah puttar, thats great. Then make Maggie for all." Daadi said and Anika again looked at her being sad.

"Only one packet Maggie is left and here we have a lot of people." Anika said suddenly Shivay jumped infront of them making them startled.

"Oye khoteya, can't you come slowly? Why are you jumping like a monkey?" Daadi asked and he heard chuckles. He turned around and saw OmRu Veer Khanna and Rivya standing there chuckling. He glared all of them and turned back to Daadi. He showed the cover in his hand. Anika's eyes lit up seeing the Maggie packet which was more than enough for all the members in Oberoi Mansion. She snatched it from his hand smiling widely.

"Thank you Shivay..." She jumped like a kiddo. Shivay smiled at her.

"Okay, your work is done. Now get out from here and let my bahu complete her pehli rasoi." Daadi said and dragged Shivay from there. He looked back in the kitchen like if he is being dragged away from his favourite candy. Anika chuckled at him.

************

Anika brought the Maggie and served everyone.

"Why are you standing Puttar? Sit there and eat." Daadi said and Anika sat beside Shivay. He helped her to serve the Maggie for her. She smiled at him and he returned it with double interest with a wink making her jaw dropped down. She looked around to check if anyone saw it or not and her eyes popped out watching all the youngsters looking at them with a naughty smile. Anika looked down in embarrassment and blushed.

"Bhaiya, be her saiya later. Now eat your food." Rudy said resulting Anika to close her eyes in embarrassment and blush even more. Shivay coughed and drank the water kept beside.

"Cool down Shivay." Veer rubbed his back chuckling. Shivay glared all the youngsters. Everyone laughed out loud including the elders making both Anika and Shivay more embarrassed.

"Daadi, i have to say something." Shivay said dragging everyone's attention suddenly.

"Say Billu." She said looking at him.

"Yes yes, say it Billu ji." Anika said stressing on the Ji. Shivay glared her but she smiled at him. He also gave her a naughty smile which was enough to put a full stop on her smile. He turned to Daadi.

"Daadi, as Anika is going to live here... I want Gauri and Bhavya also to live here with us." Shivay said looking at the duo.

"Of course Billu, is it even a thing to ask. They are definitely gonna live with us." Daadi said making everyone happy.

"Not only them Daadi, i want Veer too to stay with us." Shivay said and Veer looked at him with a jerk.

"No Bhai, its okay, I'll just stay at Anika's house." Veer denied.

"I didn't called you Bhai just for fun. I accepted you as my own brother and i want my all brothers with me. And you said you will stay at Anika's house, then this is her house. You have to stay here, with us." Shivay said. Veer was about to deny but everyone pressurised him and he agreed. He was very happy inside to get a lovely family like this. Shivay noticed Anika sitting there like a Statue looking at ShiVee. He shook her by her shoulder making her to come back to the real world.

"What happened Anika?" He asked being concerned. Everyone asked the same.

"When did you both became Brothers? And are you not angry at Veer?" Anika asked being surprised. Khanna spite the water he was drinking straight into Rudy's face. He wiped his face with his hand and looked at Khanna who was smiling at him sheepily .

"Its a long story Ani, I'll tell you later." Shivay said patting her shoulder who looked at him suspiciously.

"Don't think that you are escaped. I want explanation." She said and he nodded his head. He turned to Veer and breath out loudly sighing. Anika glared him. Veer widened his eyes and sat straight and concentrated on his plate. Others also did the same making Anika suspicious on them.

************

Shivay was on the way to his cabin. All the employees wished him Good morning, one by one. He wished them back smiling.

"I heard sir got married yesterday." One staff whispered to the other.

"You don't know, it was so dramatic." Another one whispered.

"How do you know?" One whispered.

"Didn't you watched the news, it was the headline yesterday." Another said.

"Everyone attention please..." They heard Shivay's voice and immediately stood up being scared. He came to them and gestured them to come forward. All the staffs came and stood infront of him. Gauri was standing beside him along with Veer.

"You all heard it right. I got married yesterday and i am married to Anika Vardhan Trivedi. You heard it right. The famous fashion designer Anika Vardhan Trivedi. And it was indeed a dramatic one i admit. Now as i admitted and cleared it to you all, you can ask any doubt to me." Shivay said and waited for them to ask. But none had the guts to ask doubt to him.

"You guys don't have any doubts?" Shivay asked and everyone shook their head mumbling no.

"Then get back to your work concentrate on it instead of your boss's love life." Shivay shouted all of a sudden making everyone shiver. Everyone dispersed to their respective seats and resumed their works.

"Wah bhaiya, you rocked it." Gauri said smacking his shoulder and Veer chuckled.

"Do you want any invitation to start your work?" Shivay asked turning and making her jaw dropped down. Veer looked at him in amazement.

"Dii was true. You are such a Khadus Singh Oberoi." Gauri said twisting her mouth to him. Shivay chuckled at her. He put her hand on her shoulder and dragged her along with him to the cabin followed by Veer who was chuckling at the duo.
