Shivaay was too mesmerized looking at his bride who came down wearing yellow lahenga with matching jewelry.

Today is their Haldi ceremony and Shivaay was waiting for his girl in the garden attached with pool which was beautifully decorated in colourful theme.

Anika looked at him and winked at him. Shivaay kept his hand on his chest dramatically indicating that he's gonna die. Dadi hits him playfully on his shoulder for his drama. Gauri made Anika sit beside Shivaay. Dadi took some haldi and applied it on Shivaay's face and then on Anika's face. Dadi blessed both of them and now others will apply haldi on them. One by one everyone was putting haldi on them. Now Gauri came towards them with a naughty smile on her face and put a fistful oh haldi on Anika's face. Shivaay started laughing loudly looking at them when Om and Rudra attacked him with haldi from behind. His laughter stopped and he was unable to understand what happened with him just now. It was Anika's turn now to laugh. Soon they started playing holi with haldi. They were running behind each other. When Shivaay hold Anika and took her in his arms and jumped in the pool. Looking at them Om took Gauri in his arms and they also jumped inside the pool. Rudra looked here and there and found no partner for his so he jumped into the pool alone. Now all of them were inside. DJ started playing songs and they started dancing in the water.

After some time Dadi ordered them to come out of water. All came out from the water except Shivika. They were lost in each others eyes.

S: Anika just one day.. Then none can separate us from each other.

Anika smiled and kept her forehead on Shivaay's. Anika pecked Shivaay's lips and move out of the water. Shivaay smiled at her and move out of the pool.

At night Shivaay was sitting on his bed and was smiling. Someone knocked the door and Shivaay asked the person to come in. It was Om who brought 2 cups of coffee with him.

O: Your espresso.

S: Thanks.

Om noticed his smile and he also smiled knowing that the reason of his smile is Anika.

O: Anika is really an Angel in your life Shivaay. She changed you and your life completely.

S: That's true. Anika is my life changer. You know Om I still remember the day when I met her for the first time. Her eyes showed pain but there was something more which attracted me too much towards her. When I first got to know about her I just knew one thing that I need to remove her pain. I don't know why but I was unable to see her in pain. Whenever I saw tears in her eyes I felt pain and it felt hard to breathe.

O: Because you love her sooo much Shivaay. She has unknowingly became the reason of your smile, your pain and  your breathing. I can't believe bro now you're a true ISHQBAAAZ.

Shivaay smiled widely and hugged him. Both the brothers talked for some more time. It was getting late so Om left for his room and Shivaay slept thinking about Anika.

It was 2:30 pm at night when Shivaay heard Anika's voice. He woke up being tensed as he saw Anika sitting on his bed. Her face showed that she was tensed.

S: What happened Anika? Is everything alright? Are you okay?

A: I'm fine Shivaay. It's just that I'm scared.

S: Why what happened?

A: I love you Shivaay and I know you also love me but... I'm scared that what if I couldn't be able to be a good wife or a good life partner Shivaay. Till then my life revolved around Gauri and business but now I have you in my life. What if I couldn't be like the one you want. I'm scared to failed to be a good partner of yours Shivaay.

Saying this Anika cried hugging him. Shivaay smiled and hold her close to him.

S: Anika you know, you've changed me completely. Anika I love you. I love your nature. I love the way you are. I love everything about you. None can be perfect other than you Anika. I'm sure you'll be the best wife and partner for me.

All this time Anika kept her head on his chest and listened to him. Anika looked at his face and smiled warmly.

A: I don't know what I've done that I've got you in my life! I'm blessed to have you in my life Shivaay. I love you.

Saying that Anika hugged him more tightly and Shivaay wrapped her hands around her waist.

S: I love you too..
