After some time when Shivaay came back, he noticed Anika wearing the same dress she was wearing before which confused him as he thought she would have changed but she didn't. He went towards her and sat beside her which took her attention and Anika looked at him sadly, he thought maybe Anika is in pain which panicked him seeing her face

"What happened? Why you didn't change? Any problem", Shivaay asked and cupped her face in his.

"This dress colour is my problem. I don't want to wear it", Anika said while pointing toward the baby pink anarkali dress. Shivaay giggled hearing her small problem. Anika placed her head on his lap and layed down, she don't know why she always feel tired. Sometimes she feels enthusiastic and sometimes she feels tired to stand even.

"Then what do you want to wear and which colour? Are you fine?", Shivaay asked and checked Anika's forehead which looked fine. Anika said yes and sat beside him as she realised her act to relax is tensing him. She told him she is fine and encircled her arm around his waist. Shivaay's breath hitched as Anika always make him lose his senses.

"The one you are wearing ", Anika said and held his green kurta in her hand. Shivaay smiled and nodded. He kissed her hand and asked Khanna to bring a new saree. Khanna sent him a few pictures of the saree and brought which Shivaay selected. When Khanna gave him a saree, He gestured for her to change and waited for her in the room. When Anika came back after changing Shivaay's eyes got struck by her beauty, her never-ending smile and symbol of their love everything makes her look gorgeous.

"You are looking so beautiful Anika", Shivaay said and started to walk toward her in slow steps.

"Yes because you kept me happy is the main reason Shivaay ", Anika said thanking him for taking her care in all these months and today as well.

Shivaay smiled as he felt relaxed with the mention that she is happy because of him. Shivaay pulled her towards himself and moved his hand Softly in her hair. Anika is still not ready as she didn't like the dress so was waiting for him. Shivaay looked into her eyes and noticed her cheeks heating up with just one look. He held her hand and placed it on his waist. Anika encircled one arm around his neck and held his waist by the other. Whereas Shivaay cupped her face using both of his hands and caressed her cheek. The saree which she is wearing is his weakness, she is looking elegant and he is losing his control over himself. The situation is the same with Anika as she also craves him every time and this man is so handsome that she can't resist him. His one touch is enough to drive her crazy for him.

"Should I make you ready?", Shivaay asked being lost as her pregnancy glow is making him loose again and again. He knows he needs to hold himself but The fact she is carrying his child is driving him crazy. How can she not understand this simple thing that he needs her now? He doesn't know anything about the future as these days he is cancelling every meeting which is held outside as he can't take a risk

"You don't need to ask. Just do whatever you want", Anika said with a smile and rubbed her hand softly on his cheek. Shivaay dragged her towards the mirror and stood behind her, Anika's breath hitched when Shivaay hugged her from back and kissed her shoulder. Anika closed her eyes feeling peace as she got her life back. He put his chin on her shoulder and looked at her in the mirror. Without any jewellery and makeup, she is looking breathtakingly beautiful. Just his Anika whose face always contains happiness and she can make anyone smile.

"Anything of your choice just like this saree", Anika said. Shivaay smiled and hugged her tightly from the back as he can't do the same from the front because of their baby. He is very careful about everything as it's not just Anika's responsibility, he also needs to be serious. Shivaay opened her earnings as he need to make her wear new ones. He searched for earrings and selected one green-coloured earring and raised his eyebrow asking if she liked it or not. Anika nodded with a blush but when he was about to make her wear Anika's phone started to ring which irritated her. She groaned in frustration and picked up the call and got angry finding it from a company and started to shout at them angrily.

Shivaay watched her keenly and when Anika threw her mobile phone on the bed in anger he started to laugh which irritated Anika more as she knows he is making fun of her.

"Haha Awww my cute baby! ", Shivaay said and pulled her cheeks but Anika shoved his hand away and passed a deadly glare to him which Shivaay royally ignored picked earings and turned her to face him but Anika pushed him away

"First laugh how much you want", Anika said angrily and turned her face aside, Shivaay tried suppressing his laughter but when they an eye contact he again started to laugh. Anika kept looking at his laughing face as he is her love and she can't stop adoring him, even if he is making fun of her. When Anika realised why he is laughing she started to cry dramatically.

"Still. You are laughing at me. No problem my child is on my side hana baby. See he doesn't love me", Anika asked her child and started crying by hiding her face with her hands. Shivaay removed her hands from her face and understood that she is just acting. He sighed in relief that she is not hurt, he guessed it already but he don't want to take a chance so he came to check. Anika was trying hard to keep her hand still on her face but he is more powerful than her

"No tears", Shivaay said while pointing toward her eyes and then gestured nothing via his hand and helped her to sit on the bed

"You are eagerly waiting to see tears isn't it?", Anika asked

"Of course not. Your act was funny admit that and this is giving me a reason to laugh the whole day ", Shivaay said and was about to laugh again but kept quiet when he noticed Anika's glare

"Keep laughing. I am not coming with you. I am going to change", Anika said angrily and was about to go towards the washroom but Shivaay stopped her in middle and hugged her from the back. Anika flinched and stumbled as she didn't expect him to stop her within seconds. She knew he will stop her and will win over her but not this early. He held her hands and placed them on her abdomen softly. When thier hands touched her abdomen he felt a kick on her abdomen and smiled

"See my daughter is saying don't fight with her father", Shivaay said and placed his chin on her shoulder and kissed her cheeks. Anika kept quiet as somewhere he is right and she also don't want to blame him for anything. She knows her act was funny but she also loves when he pacifies her. Anika caressed his hand and intertwined their fingers. Shivaay removed his hand Softly and made Anika ready. He let her hair free on the back and a few hair strands on the front

"Apply this yourself", Shivaay said and gave her Kohl to apply. Anika nodded and looked at him through the mirror after applying.

"Perfect", Shivaay said and hugged her back again. He selected everything for her today starting from bindi to her sandals. Anika was asking to wear heels but Shivaay knows it is a big risk to ask her to wait till she delivers a baby.

After some time they came out and noticed the hall was decorated beautifully with family pictures and baby pictures which took Anika's heart. She loved decorations and went toward dadi and Janvi. Shivaay went towards Omru to talk with them as they all are also excited like him

"How are the decorations?", Om asked to which Shivaay replied "beautiful".

"Shivaay I want to talk about something important with you", Om said.

"Yes say", Shivaay said

"I... Ishana and I decided to get married", Om said.

"Congratulations Om", Shivaay said and hugged Om congratulating him. Om stammered and fumbled as he don't know how he will make Shivaay agree for Anika to arrange their wedding. Ishana wants Anika to work but he doesn't want, their marriage will be held after Anika's delivery but still, he doesn't know if Anika will be fine or not.

"S...Shivaay vo.", Om stopped in the middle when dadi called Shivaay and asked him to sit beside her. Soon ritual started and everyone gave Anika many gifts. They mare her ear dry fruits and coconut sweets. After some time Rudra asked them to play games to which the younger generation cheered and asked Rudra what is the game. Even Janvi and Tej came and Rudra couldn't say anything as they are also a part of a family.

"So the game is people will stand in couples like Om with Ishana, Priyanka with Daksh, me with Siya and mom with dad. In this game, they all will stand in front of each other and between we will place a bottle. The referee will be Gauri didi who will order us to touch parts of our bodies. When she will say bottle, all of us have to take the bottle and the one who takes the bottle will be the winner. Keep in mind your partner is your enemy in this game ", Rudra said and asked whether everyone understood or not to which they replied a yes

"Even I want to play ", Anika requested with a pout as she found this game interesting. Before Shivaay could deny Rudra denied

"Sorry bhabhi, but you can't as you can't bend to touch your legs or feet of asked. You can become a referee. You have to ask us to touch parts of our body", Rudra said. Anika nodded and looked towards Shivaay who smirked, Anika blushed as she understood what is going on in his mind and looked aside. She asked Shivaay to play with them but Shivaay denied it and went out to take a phone call. Soon everyone stood in a line standing with their partners and bottle in between. Rudra asked Anika to start the game

"Umm shoulder", Anika said and everyone touched their shoulder

"Eyes", she said and they held their eyes

"Feet", Anika said and kept going for some time and then shouted bottle. Siya, Ishana, Daksh and Tej won. Rudra wanted this game with dare but he can't as Tej is playing with them and he can't give a dare in front of him.

Here Shivaay got a call from the office that there are many mistakes in the file and they wanted Shivaay to change everything today which tensed him as he don't know how he can do this mistake. Just then he realised that this work was done by Anika and maybe she didn't check properly which resulted in this. He threw pebbles by his feet in anger that an unexpected problem arrived today and now he need to work the whole night if he had to enjoy himself with her. He can't break her heart today by blaming her when he knows it was not intentional. He looked at Anika from outside and saw her clapping happily which made him smile, he can't break her heart today so he decided that he will excuse himself after enjoying himself with her and giving one precious gift to her.

I will take a leap after next chapter ♥️

This game😍. Our teachers taught us this game ( merchandising course wale) I loved that course so much. I am not going to College these days as placements are far like Bhatinda, Sangrur, and Chandigarh and I don't prefer any of them.

I suggest to my juniors and will suggest the same to you all that you all should join if there is a free course in your college. I got interview skills, and soft skills and also know how the industry works😆😆. Costing of cloth. Industry visit bhi hua tha and that was the first time I saw how a cloth is made. How by using thread a cloth is made and then shirts and dresses 😍.

If anyone needs my help regarding interview replies then you can message me♥️ as they trained us for interviews too. Don't believe people who say these course are useless because it is not.

I gave my 6 months and if I am praising it then there is a strong reason. This course is held in India (skill course). Mine was hpkvn( Himachal Pradesh kaushal vikas Nigam)
