~Anika's POV~

Next morning I got up from a good sleep. Wait! Good sleep! Did I slept last night? I held my head as I'm feeling a little pain in my head. I start remembering all events of last night. I told Shivaay everything about me and Abeer. I think I just told him everything as I was drunk. I trust him so I don't have any problem with it but what he'll think about me.. I removed all this thoughts from my mind and went to the washroom. After taking a hot shower I went to Ri's room. I knocked her room but she didn't respond so I push the door and entered inside. I found her sleeping hugging her and my photo. I can see dried tear marks on her face. Did she cried? I sat beside her and slowly caressed her hair. She opened her eyes and sat on the bed.

G: di you here? Is everything alright?

A: everything is fine.. Tomorrow is your wedding Ri stop worrying.

G: how can I stop worrying when that Abeer will be coming to our wedding.
(She said angrily)

A: last night I told everything about Abeer and me to Shivaay.

G: what? I mean.. Did you really?
(Confused)

A: yes.. But why are you reacting like this?

G: because you never told it to anyone, only me and Era maasi know about it soo I'm just a little confused.

A: I told him because I trust him. Now leave all this and get ready after an hour it's your haldi.

Ri get down from the bed and went to washroom. I know that she is upset about me and Abeer. But now I have to be normal for Ri. She came out wearing a yellow lahenga looking lovely. Meantime I also get ready in a yellow lahenga as it's yellow theme today.

( Anika and Gauri's dress👆👆)

We both move towards the garden for the haldi ceremony.

~Shivaay's POV~

I got up from my sleep and got ready for the haldi ceremony. I went to the hall and then Om entered. I hug him and told him everything about Anika and Abeer.

S: how can Abeer do this Om?
(Angrily)

O: Shivaay just relax..

S: how can I just relax Om? He tried to hurt my Anika again.

O: my Anika? Do you love her Shivaay?
(Astonished)

S: I..I mean frankly speaking Om I don't know but I can't see her in pain..

O: It's okay no need to take tension. We'll talk about it later.
(Patting his shoulder)

S: okay..

I heard some sound and looked at the direction. I was just amazed by her beauty. She was looking sooo beautiful. Om looked at me and slap me lightly on my shoulder. I came out from the daze composed myself.

A: come let's go to the garden.

We all moved towards the garden. Anika made Gauri sit beside Om. Dadi came with a bowl of haldi. Dadi took some haldi in her hand and applied it on Om and Gauri's face. Dadi blessed them and told Anika to apply haldi. Anika move towards them and apply haldi on their face and kissed Gauri on her forehead. Looking at Anika and Gauri's bond I can easily say that Anika love Gauri more than anything in this world, just like I love Om. I was thinking all this when dadi called me as it's my turn. I applied some haldi on both of then and hugged them. I move towards Anika as she was checking some arrangements.

S: what are you doing?
(Leaning his back on the table)

A: nothing just looking some arrangements.

We both were talking when Om came running towards me, before I tell him something he applied haldi all over my face. I was about to shout on him when I heard some laughing. I looked at Anika and found her laughing her heart out. She was holding her stomach while laughing. Gauri came running towards Om and he fled from there while Gauri is running behind him. Now me and Anika are alone here and she is still laughing. I look at her and an idea popped in my mind.

I slowly move towards her and held her by her waist. She gasped and looked at me in shocked. I smiled and put my cheeks on her. I slowly rubbed my cheeks on her and she clutched my shoulder. I move back and looked at her. Her eyes closed and she was breathing heavily. I slowly kept my cheeks on her left cheeks and she whispered my name "Shivaay".

I moved back and left her waist and started at her. She opened her eyes and looked at me, our eyes meet. We both were drowned in each other's eyes forgeting all our problems and for the first time I found some love in her eyes....

POV ends

Both were lost in each other but a pair of eye are looking at them in.......

Precap- The wedding starts.
