The next morning, she woke up early to pick up Shivaay from the airport. Ansh woke up hearing an alarm sound but she made him sleep again and asked Rudra to keep checking on Ansh who was going out for a workout. She loves Omru as they never question whenever she gives them work. She was walking tro and fro near the car waiting for Shivaay, after some time she noticed him and ran towards him. Shivaay smiled seeing Anika in front of him and pulled her into a hug.

Anika rubbed his back softly, she always misses his warmth whenever he is not here. Because of his schedule, she is getting habitual of his distance but she doesn't want this distance to harm thier relationship with him. His presence is like a light in her dark life. They stayed in the hug for some time And then broke when they realised they need to go home. Shivaay held her hand and looked into her eyes which contain love for him. He feels lucky to get her as his life partner, even with a big family he used to feel alone. Because nobody understood him without any exchange of words, nobody even got a hint about his sad mood but Anika always guess it right. He don't need words to explain his feelings to her, Anika kissed the back of his hand and cheeks.

"Thank you for coming", Anika whispered near his ear, Shivaay looked down as his cheeks started to heat up. Both walked towards the car with intertwined fingers.

"Was waiting for you for hours here with a hungry stomach", Anika said. Shivaay chuckled hearing her lie, he knows Anika can never come 3 hours early anywhere. They know each other for years now and understand every habit of others. She can be late but never hours early, yes she tries to be punctual but there is a minute difference many times.

"I came 4 hours before", Shivaay said which made Anika giggle as she understood why Shivaay said this. She opened the door of the passenger seat for him and gestured for him to sit. She drove home while telling him how she spent 2 weeks. Shivaay listened to her keenly with a smile because he miss thier long conversation.

After reaching Oberoi Mansion he met every family member, Tej's reaction shocked him as he caressed his head which he never did before. He used to give him blessings but the first time he felt Tej's care. He doesn't know if that was intentional or unintentional but this made him feel happy. He entered their room and noticed Anika caressing Ansh's head.

"Go and change first", Anika said and walked towards Shivaay. Anika placed her hand on his chest and kissed his heart. Shivaay noticed Ansh trying to get down from the bed and ran towards him to protect Ansh from falling. Anika flinched seeing his reaction as she was scared because of Ansh's safety

"Don't worry. He is very naughty and doesn't like lying idle", Anika said and let Ansh walk, she love to see him walking.  Anika again looked towards Shivaay and gave him a T-shirt and trousers.

"No, I should not talk about him. That could be a mistake too because he was silent", Shivaay thought as he was about to talk about Tej with her but shrugged his thoughts off because nobody can change in a few days.

Shivaay held Anika's waist and nuzzled in her neck, he can't wait anymore now. Anika blushed and rubbed her hand on his chest again as she love feeling his heartbeat. Because of Ansh they still try to be careful and be within their limits but today Shivaay is finding it hard to control himself. Anika's happy face and his dream everything make him fall more and more for Anika. He also wants to keep showing every time that he also shares the same feelings for her. He kissed her shoulder and then placed his lips on her. Anika held his coat tightly and felt she will fell.

After breaking the kiss Shivaay joined their forehead together. He closed his eyes to control himself but he knows he won't be able to control himself today. He doesn't know when he will come back again so he wants to spend as much time with Anika. The one who is the reason for his success and the girl who completed his dream. Shivaay intertwined their fingers together and moved his hand inside her dress which made Anika clear of his intentions. She opened her mouth to stop him but again Shivaay kissed her. Anika looked at Shivaay and caressed his cheek with her free hand.

"What happened?", Anika asked softly while caressing his cheek with her fingers

"I came here for 3 days and don't know when I will come back again. Nowadays we stay together for a few days only which hurts Anika. We are life partners but live away, work always keeps us busy. Can't we live a normal life where we see each other daily?", Shivaay asked and held her hand on his cheeks. He kissed her fingers and looked at her for an answer

"This is life Shivaay and we can't control it. And because of this distance, we crave each other, we yearn for one meeting. If we meet daily then we will not crave like this. Even if we are staying away we think of each other and our love is strong. Many people have to live without family so you need to understand. I can't come there every time", Anika said to which Shivaay nodded. She told him that she will give him time now after giving Ansh to Omru for some time.

"Now go and change. I am bringing food for you", Anika said while caressing his hair with a blush. She just came out after wearing clothes and freshening up. It's already noon and she needs to check with Ansh if he needs her or not. Shivaay closed his eyes when Anika's wet hair fell on his face, she is looking irresistible right now. He is still not done with her, he tucked Anika's wet hair behind her ear. Anika closed her eyes feeling his hand on her ear,

Just then she remembered Ansh and was about to go but Shivaay held her hand immediately

"Don't go ", Shivaay requested

"Think about Ansh Shivaay. Change and then we will play with Ansh", Anika said. Shivaay nodded as he understood thier responsibility. He rubbed thier cheeks together and let Anika go. He came out and noticed Tej changing his direction seeing Anika. Anika came with Ansh and asked him to chase Shivaay by showing him how to touch Shivaay. Then he and Anika had food inside the kitchen. After some time they came back to their room.

"What Tej sir said?", asked Khanna after entering the room by taking permission from Anika. Anika widened her eyes in shock and gestured towards Shivaay who was playing with Ansh. Hearing Khanna Shivaay's attention came to Anika. Khanna excused himself and ran from there putting Anika into a problem.

"What happened? Did he say something to you?", Shivaay asked fearing Tej. He knew what Tej was thinking about Anika and feared that if he pointed a finger at her character in front of her? How she handled it if he said so?

"I fought with him", Anika said and looked down

"Why?", Shivaay asked and both sat on the ground with Ansh who was roaming here and there in the room

"Because I can't keep quiet Shivaay first he was using you and then he was pointing finger at me. Why should I keep quiet when someone points a finger at my character?", Anika told him angrily and placed her head on Shivaay's shoulder, Shivaay's blood-boiled hearing Tej accusing Anika. He warned Tej already but still, he didn't hear him

"Then you were right. I apologise from his side", Shivaay said and kissed Anika's forehead to calm her anger down. He is also angry with Tej for speaking against his wife, nobody has the right to speak badly about her.

"It's not your mistake Shivaay and I want one promise ", Anika asked and showed her Pinky finger to Shivaay.

"What?", Shivaay asked

"You will not join the Oberoi industry till bade papa apologises. Please for me", Anika requested

"If he will...", Shivaay said but Anika interrupted him

"Don't join if he asks. You can say I stopped you. I give you my sware Shivaay. You can't", Anika ordered Shivaay, she warned Tej said and wanted her words to look true.

"Why are you reacting like this? ", Shivaay asked, Ansh came towards him and sat in his lap. Shivaay smiled seeing his son and wife with him, he miss them a lot there.

"Because he should apologise. Don't you dare to work there", Anika warned him and caressed the head of Ansh, Shivaay nodded as he don't want to disappoint Anika.

"Ok, I will not. Happy?", Shivaay asked

"Yes very much. I love you", Anika said and kissed kiss cheeks

"What he said by the way?", Shivaay asked

"If he said one thing then I would have told you but he used many mean words. I don't want to talk about him right now and I know how to handle him so don't worry. Let's go out with Ansh", Anika said and picked Ansh in her arms. Ansh kissed her cheeks which made her smile. His sweet kisses always light her mood up, Anika rubbed her nose with him and asked Shivaay to take his ball. They played together and enjoyed their day.

The next day they got ready for the beginning of the Ansh industry. This industry holds a special place in Shivaay's heart, this is not only his dream but also Anika's. Shivaay wore a black and grey 3-piece suit and Anika wore a black and white gown.

Anika made Ansh wear a black suit, she wanted 3 of them to wear the same coloured dress. After making Ansh ready she started to talk with him regarding the party telling him why it is organised. Shivaay came inside the room after declining the phone call and noticed his wife and son ready. He bend in front of Ansh beside Anika and told him that he is looking handsome

"My baby is looking so cute", Shivaay said and picked Ansh in his arms. Anika smiled seeing them and clicked pictures of them together.

"You are looking very beautiful", Shivaay complemented Anika and pulled Anika into a side hug. He knows she always waits for him to compliment her, he always notices her eyes waiting for his response. Anika looked at him and they shared an eye lock, he is also looking very handsome like always. She always finds it hard to look at something else whenever he is near her. She caressed his cheek and told him he is looking handsome like always without breaking his eyelock. His green orbs are very beautiful, Ansh has the same eyes as him which makes both of them look the same.

Thier moment broke when Anika noticed Ansh trying to come towards her. She smiled and picked Ansh and asked Shivaay to come downstairs with his toys which are most important as Ansh shows tantrums whenever out.

After reaching the office Anika arranged a plate and tied a ribbon outside the door of the industry. She asked Shivaay to cut it but Shivaay denied it alone as it was her success, not his. He did help her with money but the hard work was done by her which was a difficult task.

"I will not cut the ribbon alone. Hold my hand or else ask someone else to do this honour", Shivaay said eyeing Anika who was holding Ansh. Anika couldn't argue much as many people are present there who are employees of this company. Anika held Shivaay's hand and made Ansh hold their hand too. Shivaay looked at her in adoration because this feels too special to start his dream with his love and son. A tear escaped from his eyes thinking about his completed dream which is possible because of her. Everybody congratulated them, they cut the cake together and then asked employees to enjoy the party.

"Congratulations Shivaay ", congratulated Dhruv, he is now a manager in this company because of Anika

"Thank you for helping Anika a lot. And congrats to you too", Shivaay said to him it is the success of every person who was helping Anika.

"Thank you ", Dhruv thanked him and started to enjoy the party. At the party, Anika got busy with Ansh and the employees as she wanted to make them feel like family there. The day ended on a good note with everyone celebrating Shivaay and Anika's success.

Days passed, and thier schedule became busier. Shivaay has to work there the whole day as they were getting many orders. With time his business in Dubai was growing at a higher rate, he collaborated with the Ansh industry so Anika also started to get many orders. That was just because of Shivaay as everyone likes Shivaay and wants to work with him, Tej didn't apologise to Shivaay that's why Shivaay stopped visiting the Oberoi industry, instead, he used to come to the Ansh industry whenever in India. But the burden of work started to tense him as they used to talk on the phone call that too on Sundays which irritated both of them.

Shivaay decided to come back and handle everything from India without telling Anika. She always stays busy with Ansh and the office and he wants to surprise her now. With his presence and with the fact that he will stay with her now and will go to Dubai just for a month.

"I will give Anika a surprise", Shivaay thought first checked the mansion and got to know that Anika doesn't take holidays, not even when she is ill which angered him. How can she not take care of herself? He made it in his mind to scold her today and reached his office and when he was about to enter his cabin he heard cracking sounds of Anika, Ansh and someone else too

"Anika he ask him to come to me", said Dhruv and whinnied like a child as Ansh's tantrums are too much to handle. Whenever he tries to go near him, he runs toward Anika or starts crying but he wants to pick him up

"Tell him you will take him to his father", Anika suggested a trick for him

"Chalo papa ko milne chalain (let's go to meet father)", said Dhruv and this did magic and Ansh came towards him with light steps and hugged him

"Papa", said Ansh and hugged him. Anika smiled faintly as this is just a trick but she miss her husband a lot. She wants to embrace him but how? Do they have time? She gets 1 hour hardly to enjoy herself because she has to handle 2 offices together and the distance is eating her now. Ansh called her mumma too and Shivaay was not present, these things hurt her now. She wants to be an understanding wife but every time she loses when she feels alone without Shivaay.
