"Then make your son sleep. I'm also sleeping", Anika said and acted like she is sleeping on Shivaay's shoulder knowing why Shivaay told her about Ansh. Shivaay looked at Anika whose eyes were closed, he smiled at her acting.

"Anika don't crack silly jokes", Shivaay said as he don't have any idea how to make a child sleep. He never made him sleep, it was always Anika who used to take this responsibility. He can handle crying Ansh and making him laugh but he never tried making him sleep.

"I'm not joking Shivaay. Just caress his head and pat his back softly he will sleep", Anika said telling him a normal trick which Shivaay have noticed before too but he doubt himself. Can he do this? What if Ansh didn't sleep?

"He will not sleep with me I think", Shivaay said

"Try it once", Anika said and held his hand tightly as the flight is about to take off and she is scared. Last time too she was scared but that time she was alone and now she has her greatest strength. Shivaay sensed her fear and intertwined their fingers. The first time he is enjoying in flight because he has someone whom he can tease and show his right.

"Whose hand you were holding last time?", Shivaay asked to tease her, Anika closed her eyes tightly as she can feel flight taking off. When she felt normal she looked out from the window and noticed they are in the sky she glared at him

"Your ex any problem?", Anika asked, Shivaay shooked and gave his attention to his son as he knows Anika have answers ready to argue with him. He won't get jealous hearing these kinds of replies because he knows Anika has none. He doesn't want their fights to turn serious. After some time when he checked, he noticed Ansh sleeping which gave him relief. Father in him is satisfied after knowing that his son slept in his arms.

"Wow he slept see Anika", Shivaay whispered in Anika's ear. Anika smiled seeing Shivaay and nodded. Shivaay kissed Ansh's head, and Anika adored this sight again. She is happy with these small moments, she doesn't want anything from her life. A little time and happy moments of togetherness are enough for her.

"Am I looking like a fool who is happy with a small thing?", Shivaay asked to which Anika shooked her head as she feels happy daily whenever Ansh sleep because she can sleep and take rest.

"This is not a small moment for you. And if you are happy then why would I think of you as a fool?", Anika asked resting her head again on his shoulder. She hugged his arm and kissed his cheek showing her happiness. She is very happy with the fact that she is going out with him and thier child. Their first flight and 2nd trip.

"You always take me as the one", Shivaay complained

"Haha, then you are. Now don't disturb me because I am going to sleep", Anika giggled hearing Shivaay's silly complaint which she found cute too. She calls him a fool sometimes when he acts like the one otherwise she knows how smart he is and appreciates him for the same. If everything is fine between them then she is happy and carefree.

"Anika don't sleep here, Ansh is also with me", Shivaay said in a low voice as he don't want to disturb Ansh and if Anika slept on his shoulder then he will not be able to move which will disturb Ansh in the end. A father can never let any harm his son's peace. He is a person who creates a soft corner for everyone, he doesn't show it to others but he feels bad if someone gets hurt because of him.

"That is your problem, not mine. I will not change my position. Ansh can sleep in your lap", Anika said telling him indirectly to lay Ansh on his lap for comfort. She is getting peace on his shoulder that's the main reason she doesn't want to change position. Moreover, Shivaay will be uncomfortable if Ansh slept in his arms, not in his lap. Shivaay nodded and made Ansh sleep on his lap and held Anika and Ansh both protecting them from falling.

"Thank you for entering my life, you make my life so easy ", Shivaay said to Anika who is sleeping. He caressed Anika's cheek softly to give her comfort, she is a girl who can do anything for him. Sometimes he is scared of her anger, but he always tries to calm his anger and within some time he realises his mistakes but Anika's nature is different. With growing tension between her and Tej, he is scared to leave her with Tej. Tej is also a short-tempered person and he doesn't want him to hurt Anika. He hates when someone points a finger at Anika, whom he trusts the most.

He then looked towards his son who is just like him, he used to look the same in childhood, especially his eyes. Everything looks the same which sometimes makes him think about the myth. "Every son is like his father". He doesn't want his son to be like him, he thinks of himself as a weak person who is scared of many things. He wants his son to make his own identity.

From childhood, he tried his best to prove not every son is like his father, and if his son turned out to be the same then he don't know how he will react. He admires Anika for many reasons and wants his son to be like her, he wants his son to live his life. He spent his life living alone without any friends but he wants his son to enjoy everything just like Anika.

Soon they reached and brought a cab to reach home, Shivaay have a car in Dubai too but they don't have a driver so they have to come via cab. When the driver stopped a car near their house Anika picked Ansh up and opened the gate to see what the house looks like. From the front house looked simple with light colours and a garden near the gate which looked attractive.

"These are the keys", Shivaay said giving her keys and coming behind her with bags. Anika opened the door and was astonished to see the beauty of the house, it have just 2 rooms with one bathroom, kitchen and a hall but still beautiful.

"Give me a glass of water. As I have to leave for the office now", Shivaay asked

"This is not fair", Anika said and went to the kitchen to take water for him. Everything was in its place and the kitchen looked very clean like nobody used it which impressed Anika. She took a minute to understand where Shivaay placed glasses and filled a glass of water from the purifier. She came back into the hall to see Shivaay asking Ansh to walk towards him. This is always a sight to watch because Shivaay is carefree in front of Ansh otherwise he always takes the stress of work and other problems.

"Can't you take a leave?", Anika asked to which Shivaay shooked his head

"How many times you are going to ask the same question? I was supposed to come back on my birthday but I postponed it for a day so I can't delay anymore ", Shivaay told and picked Ansh in his arms when Ansh walked towards him. He can't wait to spend his time with his child now, in the Oberoi mansion Omru used to take Ansh many times. Now he has one advantage nobody will take Ansh away from him.

"Don't say that you changed your come back decision for me", Anika said doubting that he changed his decision for her and in return, she fought with him

"Ok but the guess is true", Shivaay said

"Sorry for starting the fight then. I didn't know it", Anika apologised

"It's ok", Shivaay said and showed her the house and at last he said "this is small"

"Small is best and This is very clean. Seems like you spend all free time cleaning this house because our was never clean. There we were 5 family members", Anika said talking about her maternal house.

"There is no need to clean because I don't mess anything. Also, I have hired a maid so she completes every household work, even cooking too. Sometimes I give her a holiday when I want to eat something special and then cook my favourite item myself", Shivaay told to which Anika nodded.

"Give her holidays then because I will do every work. Daily you will eat something good now", Anika said

"She will do the cleaning ", Shivaay said as he pays her and he don't want Anika to take the burden of everything. She is here to enjoy, not for work.

"Why are you eager to meet her? ", Anika asked teasing Shivaay, she knows there is nothing as she stated. In this case, she has full trust in him, she knows he will never look at someone with wrong intentions.

"What are you saying?", Shivaay asked horrified by her thinking. Can't he hire a maid now?

"Joking. Call her tomorrow I will meet her and will tell her which work she has to do ", Anika giggled and pulled Shivaay's cheeks because she finds him cute when he gets scared because of her teasing.

"I need to go now", Shivaay said and removed her hand from his cheek. He noticed his son started to explore the house. Shivaay doesn't have any problem with it as in this house there is no showpiece which Ansh can break and hurt himself.

"Can't you wait till I prepare a cup of coffee for you?", Anika asked

"I can", Shivaay said and pulled Anika by her waist

"Living alone in a house feels so good. You can hold your wife anytime and no one will disturb you", Shivaay said in a husky voice and tucked her hair strand behind her ear. Anika shivered to feel his cold hand on her waist and her cheeks. Shivaay was tracing the back of his fingers on her cheeks which looked like heaven to her.

"We are not alone Mr Your son is here", Anika said telling him that they are not alone and he should stay within his limits. These days because of his work she doesn't want him to leave her for a second. She rubbed her hand near his chest and held his collar in her hands

"His eyes will not remember anything and he can't say what he saw", Shivaay said stating the fact

"Hww how cheap", Anika said, her cheeks starting to heat up hearing his words as this is truth.

"Only for you ", Shivaay said with a wink and held her hand, he kissed her knuckles while looking into her eyes

"Coffee ", Anika said

"I will have it in the office", Shivaay said as he is lost in her beauty. He doesn't want to leave her today, he wants to spend as much time as he could with her.

"Good then go. Ansh is crying bye", Anika said and ran towards a room to see where Ansh is crying. Both entered a room and noticed Ansh crying sitting on the ground. Shivaay picked Ansh and started to make him laugh by patting his back and by making funny faces but there was no use. Shivaay took Ansh's hand and rubbed his hand on his beard which sent a tickling sensation to Ansh and he started to laugh. Seeing him laughing both Shivaay and Anika started to laugh. Shivaay played with him for some time and then realised he is extremely late and went from there hurriedly after instructing her not to open the door for anyone

"Papa went ", Anika said showing him by her fingers that he went and locked the door as per Shivaay's order. She checked the kitchen and decided to cook something special for Shivaay to make him happy
