"Sasu maa..." All the elders stood there numb out of shock while the youngsters had a i knew it type look.

"How are you my dear Sasu maa?" The man came to Kalyani with a wide smirk, which the youngsters only got. He bend down and took blessings from Daadi. She hesitatingly kept her hand on his head. Tej and Shakti were burning in anger while Jhanvi and Pinky were looking at him scared.

"Ranjeet...." Daadi took his name as a whisper

(Ranjeet Singhania)

"Please forgive me saasu maa.... I...i know... I have done a lot of sin. I am ashamed of myself, please forgive me. I got my punishment 24 years ago. I was running away from here, but i met with an accident and i was in coma from last 23 years. Its been just 1 year that i came back into my life. I got my punishment, please forgive me...." Ranjeet said folding his hands infront of Daadi, who was listening to him, but not heartily. She was afraid to believe in him again.

"How dare you to come back to us. We have no relation with you. Get lost from here." Tej screamed grabbing his collar and pushed him back.

"Please Tej, please forgive me. I am genuinely guilty." Ranjeet said joining his hand infront of him, crying. Shakti was about to say something but got interrupted by Shivay.

"Daadi, let it be. Let's forget the past and move on." Shivay said coming to Daadi and wrapped his hand around her. OmRu also came to her.

"Yes Daadi, let's move on. And he apologised right?" Om said blinking his eyes at Daadi, assuring her.

"Daadi, and i think that he is genuinely guilty. So please." Rudy said making a puppy face. Daadi smiled at them.

"I forgave you, but remeber... Only because of my ShivOmRu." Daadi said to Ranjeet.

"But maa..." Shakti and Tej tried to protest. ShivOmRu turned to them and winked at them.

"Dad...." Trio called in a convincing tone. Tej and Shakti nodded their head in agreement. Shivay turned to Ranjeet.

"You can stay here......... Fufa Ji. Ramesh...." Shivay told to Ranjeet and called out a servant.

"Ji sir..." Ramesh came and stood infront of him.

"Show him his room." He ordered Ramesh, indicating Ranjeet. He nodded his head and took the luggage.

"Come sir." He said and led Ranjeet to his room.

"Everybody, in my room......" Shivay said and walked ahead. He climbed 3-4 steps and turned to see his family lost in a great confusion.

"NOW." Shivay said aloud bringing back everyone to the reath. All nodded and followed him to his room.

**********

"Shivay what's going on?" Shakti asked watching him closing the door of his room entering everyone in.

"You all please take seat guys. We have something to tell you all." Khanna said making Daadi sit on the bed while others too sat on the bed and couch. Shivay came and stood infront of all.

"Never ever do the mistake of believing the person whom we met downstairs. He is a liar. A clean liar, kidnapper and a Murderer." Shivay said as his eyes got blood shot red. Sensing his anger, Anika came to him and held his fist, which got loosened immediately. He tried to take his hand from her grip but she held it tightly.

"We'll fight later, please calm down Shiv." Anika whispered to Shivay. He calmed himself and interlocked their hands and raised it a little, looking at it intensely. Anika smiled and planted a small kiss on his shoulder and kept her cheek on his biceps.

"Bhaiya-bhabhi, do your romance later. Now focus on the family problem yaar." Rudy said and everyone laughed silently. Anika raised her head and tried to release her hand from his grip embarrassingly. But he held it tightly looking straight towards Rudy.

"My wife, my choice." Shivay said shrugging his shoulders. Om raised his eyebrows at him.

"Yeh toh wahi baat hogayi na..." Rudy got interrupted by Om.

"Kaunsi baat?" Rudy gave Om a mischief look and Om frowned in confusion.

"My life, my rule." And they laughed loud fi-fying eachother. Anika giggled a little but got shut by Shivay's glare.

"Okay shut up. Can we focus on the main problem?" Shivay shouted being irritated.

"Bhaiya hum wahi kar rahe thei. Woh aap hi thei joh family problem se hatkar family planning par utar aagaye the." Khanna said and again hi-fying with OmRu. And the whole family joined them laughing loud.

"Okay enough." Shivay shouted to inorder to hide his embarrassment. Anika lowered her head blushing. Whole family stopped laughing. Taking a small pause, they again laughed making Shivay more irritated.

"Okay, keep quiet. Let my Billu complete his words." Daadi said and everyone nodded and stopped laughing. Shivay took a deep breath.

"We all know Mr.Ranjeet Singhania's truth. We just have to confront him and make him confess his deeds by himself." Everyone nodded their head. Khanna came to Shivay.

"He had messaged me yesterday that he want to meet me and want to say something. I am sure. He have something very dangerous plan in his ugly head." Khanna said disgusted.

"And he is here to execute his plan. So, please behave normally with him. Don't let him get doubts on us. And this time, we will trap him on his own trap." Shivay made everyone understand and he smirked on his last line.

"Khanna will do whatever he say, but, according to our plan." Shivay said to Khanna and he nodded his head.

"Tomorrow all the elders are going London, to Veer. We'll tell my dear Fufa ji that you guys are going to Paris and it was already planned, also, can't postpone the travel as its important. And we youngsters gonna stay here. Ranvi and Bhavya will go with you all, I'll call Veer and will inform him." Shivay said and instantly he got wrapped by both Ranvi and Bhavya. Anika got scared and moved back, taking her hand from Shivay's grip. He looked at her and turned back to Ranvi and Bhavya.

"No jiju.... I don't wanna go. I want to stay with you and Anika didi..." Bhavya said as her eyes got watery.

"Yes papa. I too want to stay here with you all, please let us stay here." Ranvi completed and started to cry.

"Please understand baby... Its dangerous for both of you, please..." Shivay pleaded to both. He bend down and picked up Ranvi in his hand and with other, he held Bhavya close. He tried to make them understand, but both were adamant.

"Shivay, it's okay. Let them be here. You all are here right, so don't worry. I know you all will take care of them." Daadi said making Ranvi and Bhavya happy. Shivay nodded his head, still little scared for both.

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

All were having their dinner happily chating with eachother. Ranjeet came there and sat beside Tej. He closed his eyes to control his anger. He felt a hand on his and got calm realising it as Jhanvi's. He looked at her and she blinked her eyes in assurance.

Maid served him food and all ate silently. Ranjeet also completed his food silently. But his gaze was shifting to Khanna and Shivay, who were sitting beside eachother. His lips curved up in a smirk. He hide his smirk but it got noticed by Shivika and Khanna. They shared a look and got back into their food.

**********
Shivay came out of the washroom and came to the bed. He got confused not seeing his dearest wife.

"Where dis she gone?" Shivay thought to himself. A pair of hands wrapped around him. He smiled realising the touch but remained like that only.

"Shivay, i am sorry." She said keeping her face on his back. Shivay stood there still. Anika left him and turned him towards her.

"Shivay please." She made a pout.

"Stop using that face." He groaned closing his eyes. Anika chuckled watching his expression.

"Okay, you only tell me. What should i do to get your apology?" She asked leaning into him lazily, looking into his face with a puppy face.

"Are you sure that you will give me whatever i ask?" Shivay smirked raising his eyebrows.

"Just ask Billu ji..." Anika said being ever so cool. Shivay kept his hands on her waist and dragged her more to him. Anika shivered nervously. He leaned into her ear.

"I just want you." Anika's heat skip a beat listening to his husky voice.

"Promise me that you won't leave me. You will stand with me and will love me like this for the whole life." He whispered and withdrew his face looking into her face. He saw tears in her eyes and got panicked.

"Ani, why are you crying? Did i hurt you?" He asked cupping her face. Anika shook her head smiling with tears flowing down her cheeks. Shivay wiped her tears nodding no.

"I... I love you Shiv.... Love you so much." Anika said and hugged him tightly, keeping her head above his heart.

"Love you too Ani.... To power of infinity." Shivay said hugging her more tight and planted a kiss on her head.

"I am ready Shivay." He jerked looking at her.

"Huh?" He asked being confused.

"I am ready. Please make me yours and i am sorry for rejecting you earlier." Anika said looking down in guilt. Shivay cupped her face and made her look into his face.

"No Ani, what are you saying? You did nothing wrong that you are saying sorry." He wiped her tears and kissed on her forehead and looked back into her eyes.

"Yes its right that i want you desperately, but not without your consent. I felt happy that you said no, instead of agreeing with me, without your will." Anika looked at him without blinking her eyes.

"Then why did you got angry on me?" She asked innocently. Shivay shook his head.

"No, i was not angry on you. I was just teasing you. And do you think that i would have kissed you if i was angry on you?" He asked making her mouth into an O shape.

"Don't you remember our passionate wild kiss in the back yard?" He asked winking at her making her blush. She hitted on his chest.

"You bagad billa, you scared me. How worried i was, you know." Shivay laughed pulling her into a bone crushing hug. Anika smiled hugging him back.

"I love you." He said in the hug.

"I love you too." Anika replied hugging him more tight.

**********

"Daadi, you kept your sweater?" A concerned Shivay asked to his Daadi sitting beside her on the couch.

"20." Daadi said confusing him.

"Hein? What 20?" Shivay frowned.

"It is the 20th time that you are asking the same question. I have already kept it inside. Now if you asked the same again na, then i will take Anika along with me." Daadi said smirking and Shivay looked at her being horrified.

"Daadi..... Take my life with you but not my Anika." Shivay said dramatically, acting as if he is taking his life in his hand and giving it to Daadi.

"Khoteya, stop spending more time with Rudra. You are becoming worse than him." Daadi said hitting Shivay's head.

"Wow Daadi. Once more, once more. I want to keep it as a memory. Its too rare to watch my Shivay bhaiya getting hitted." Rudy came to them taking his phone in his hand all ready to take the pic.

"Let me help you Rudy." And Shivay ran behind Rudy, who ran faster, to save himself from his bhaiya.

"Wait there Rudra, I'll show you how to make memories." Shivay ran behind him. Rudy ran to Shivika's room. He hide behind Anika.

"Bhabhi, help me... Your bhagad billa is planning to kill me. I don't wanna die now. I have more things to do in my life." Rudy said dragging Anika infront of Shivay, from here to there. Hearing the noise, everyone came to the room and stood at the entrance laughing at their catching game. Ranjeet was standing little far fron the family watching all these.

"Rudy, what are you doing.... My head is spinning. Leave me...." Anika tried to release herself from his clutch.

"Please bhabhi.... Help me... I want to get married...." All gasped at once and stood there like statue. Except Ranvi Rudy and Bhavya. Trio were confused watching others standing still with a shocked expression. Rudy left Anika and came to the center.

"D... Did i said... Anything..... Wro.... Wrong?" Rudy asked getting scared. Still all were standing still. Rudy came to Shivay.

"Bh.... Bhaiya...?" Shivay stood there still.

"Bhabhi?" Statue

"O?" No response.

"D... Daadi?" No use.

"Mumma?"

"Papa?"

"Kha... Khanna bhaiya?"

"Arey, will anyone tell me what happened? Why are you all standing still?" Rudy screamed being frustrated. All came to their sense.

The elders came to Rudy and one by one they Caressed his head and cheeks being concerned. Rudy was watching their actions being confused and a little scared. Bhavya and Ranvi stood there watching them. ShivOmKhanna and AniRi came to Rudy.

"I am sorry Rudy...." Shivay said in a sad tone, cupping his cheek from one side.

"But why bhaiya? We usually fight like this right? Then why are you apologizing?" Rudy asked being perplexed.

"Rudy, sorry from my side too..." Om said cupping his other cheek.

"Yes Rudy, i am also sorry." Khanna said keeping his hand on Rudy's head.

"And from our side too Rudy." AniRi said hugging him from either side, keeping their cheek on his biceps.

"But why are you guys apologising? And what are you all being so much concerned about?" Rudy asked almost in the verge of cry.

"We should have known. Why didn't we noticed?" Om said as if he is guilty for something serious issue.

"Yes Om. Its all our fault. We should have been more careful." Shivay said looking at Om and all the youngsters shook their head in agreement. Rudy looked at everyone, one by one.

"We didn't know that, you..." Om said and left it incompleted looking aside inorder to hide his face.

"M... Me?" Rudy asked being horrified.

"That, you... You are speaking... about... Marriage because you.... You got.... Hi... Hitted by something in your head." There was a pin drop silence for some seconds. Rudy was processing the words. His mouth turned int O shape, realising the words. And atlast Om lost his control on his laugh and he laughed still looking at the side and next second everyone, including the family started to laugh. Ranvi and Bhavya were confused but still they laughed with all.

"You and Marriage in a line Rudy?" Shivay asked and he and Om patted on his either cheeks playfully, laughing more. AniRi were laughing like hell, leaning on Rudy's either side. Khanna kept his face on Om's shoulder and both landed on the floor, still laughing.

"Everyone are the same. I don't wanna talk to you." Rusy said making a sad face and turned his back on them. And it made them more laugh. Rudy stomp his leg groaning in irritation.
Shivay came to Rudy and tickled him resulting him to laugh. Shivay hugged Rudy still laughing.

"Kids, its time. We have to reach the airport. Come on." Tej said composing himself. All nodded and moved to the hall. There they met Ranjeet as expected.

"Ranjeet, we are going to Paris for some days." Daadi said.

"But why suddenly saasu maa?" He asked in confused.

"Not suddenly. We did planned it early. Its important and can't postpone it. We elders are going. Kids will stay here." Daadi said and Ranjeet nodded his head. Youngsters accompanied them to the airport.

"Its good that you left. Now, i can execute my plan easily."He looked at the retreating figures of the oberois and smirked.

Shivay turned a little and saw Ranjeet smirking to himself lost in some thoughts.

"Its just the begining, Fufa ji. Just wait and watch." He said in his mind and smirked.
