Bangalore International Airport, 
8 pm...

Aayan and Ananya walk out for the airport, and are waiting for Aayan's driver to arrive at the arrival gate...

Ananya was carrying Amayraa in her arms, while Aayan was holding their luggage...

'You need some help with that....?' Ananya asks Aayan, who was struggling to hold two laptop bags together...

'No I am good...' Aayan says, keeping one bag on his right shoulder, and the same time left one falls, he catches it mid air, also trying to balance the right one ... He sighs in frustration, looking tired

'Let me hold one...' Ananya tries to take a bag from his hand and he snatches it back, before she can hold it and huffs 

'You hold my daughter properly, I will take care of the rest...' he says and then keeps both the bags on the trolley

Ananya glares at him and holds Amayraa properly who was busy staring the huge airport in awe..

'Why do you keep calling her as "your daughter" ? she is mine as well...!' Ananya exclaims 

Aayan smirks at this and moves closer to her, 'Don't be annoyed Mrs. Varma, the baby and her father, both are yours...' he says coming very close to her face and winks at her..

Ananya could feel heat rising up her cheeks and pushes him away, and he laughs 

'No Thanks ! I only want the daughter...' she says and kisses Amayraa's cheeks who grins at her 

'But the father comes with her as a free package, free... free.... free....' he says and hugs both of them, Amayraa giggles at this, and Ananya gasps as the passerbys smile at them

She pushes him away, and holds Amayraa properly again 'Behave Aayan...This is a public place....' she scolds him..

He pouts at this and looks at Amayraa, who grins at him 'See Baby, your mom doesn't like hugs...' he complains to Amayraa making a sad face and she pouts at Ananya too

'Anniieeyyy... Amayraa Hug...' she pouts cutely and Ananya smiles at this and hugs her tightly, kissing her cheeks 

'What about my kiss...?' Aayan whines and Ananya glares at him 

'Baby, ask Annie to kiss Aaya as well...' Aayan says to Amayraa and Ananya looks at him shocked 

'What are you doing...!' she hits him, but he doesn't pay any heed to her and takes Amayraa from her arms 

'See Baby, Aaya Sad... Annie doesn't kiss Aaya...' he makes a sad face and rests his head on Amayraa's little shoulders

Amayraa looks at Aayan's sad face and turns to Ananya...

'Annieeyyy, Aaya Sad....' she says her voice cracking, she was almost on the verge of crying, tears filled her eyes and Ananya panics seeing this and so does Aayan 

'Don't cry Baby, see what you did...!' Ananya tries to pacify Amayraa, and scolds Aayan at the same time 

'Don't cry Baby...' Aayan says kissing her cheeks, but they were too late for that, as Amayraa already burst into tears and started crying 

'No no no no, baby... Aaya is not sad... See...' Ananya says wiping Amayraa's tears and Aayan grins to show that he is happy

'Aaya Sad....' Amayraa sniffs, rubbing her eyes with her tiny palms, her nose was red and her cheeks were tearstained

'No baby, I am not sad...' Aayan says, but she continues to sob

'Okay I will kiss Aaya, then he will not be sad...' Ananya says not really understanding how to make her stop crying

'Yes... Please don't cry Amayraa, I was only joking... ' Aayan says trying to calm her down

They made her sit on the nearby chair and made funny faces to calm her down, but she continued sobbing

Ananya sighed and pulled Aayan towards her, kissing him on the cheeks and Aayan got shocked at this

'See baby, Now Aaya is not sad... ' Ananya says kissing Amayraa who looks at her teary eyed

Aayan who turned red because of Annie's kiss, grinned at her and Amayraa sniffed

'See I am not sad... ' Aayan said and Ananya nods

Amayraa looks at her parents intently and then grins

'Again... ' she says clapping her hand and they look at her shocked  and then at each other

'What...!' they exclaim together

' Look what you taught her... ' Ananya scolds him and he sighs

'Let's go baby, see our car is here... ' Aayan says picking her up

'Again... Aaya give kissy to Annieeyy...' Amayraa whined

'Baby I'll give her a kiss at home, not here... ' Aayan says and Amayraa pouts

Amayraa was about to whine again,  but luckily their driver walks out and start keeping their luggage in the car and Amayraa got busy seeing that...

Ananya - Aayan sigh in relief...
'You are a bad influence on my daughter... ' Ananya scolds him

Aayan smirks at this and says
'Yeah, but she is my perfect wing man... ' he winks at her and she huffs

They get inside the car and start driving towards their home, meanwhile on the way,  Ananya feeds Apples to Amayraa and offers to Aayan, who opens his mouth, instead of eating it by himself

'Don't you have hands...?' Ananya taunts, but he ignores her and makes her feed him, and intentionally bit her fingers and she hissed in pain

'Such a dog you are...!' she says and then covers her mouth, as Amayraa was with them

'Don't spoil my daughter... ' Aayan says glaring at her

'She is my daughter... ' Ananya says irritated

'Mine... ' Aayan counters

'Mine... ' Ananya says angrily and their rant continued for some time, and Amayraa was looking at them confused

'Let's ask her... ' Aayan said

'Yes... ' Ananya agreed

'Baby, you are Aaya's princess right...?  You love me more na...' Aayan asks Amayraa who was staring at him with her finger in the mouth

'Baby, you love Annie more right...?' Ananya asks cutely and Amayraa grins

'Say baby,  who is good.. Aaya or Annie...?' Aayan asked 

'Anniieeyyyy....' Amayraa cheered raising her hands and Aayan was shocked, his mouth hanging open

'Yesssss.... ' Ananya cheered and then smirked at Aayan

'See, she is my daughter... ' Ananya hugs Amayraa and Aayan huffs

'Girls are cheaters, let my sons come,  they will take my side, we will defeat your mother daughter duo... ' Aayan blurted out in anger and Ananya looks at him shocked

'What are you saying...?' she said

'Well, when we will have our boys... They....' he started but then stopped in between

Shit....

Aayan realised what he said and then covered his face with his hands, taking a deep breath and Ananya looked away...

She could feel heat rising her cheeks, the mere thought of carrying Aayan's baby in her womb made her anxious..

Don't think about it Ananya, he still cannot be trusted, don't think about starting a family with him, you marriage is still a mess...

You don't know what he will do next, so quit keeping hopes with him...

She takes a deep breath and then didn't say anything, there was this awkward silence between them...

'I... ' he began, but he didn't really had anything to say

The rest of the drive was silent, Amayraa rests her head on Aayan's chest and doze offs

After 15 minutes they reach their building, and Aayan gets out, holding sleeping Amayraa and Ananya carries thier laptop bags

They were about to get inside, when Aayan holds her hands and she looks at him bewildered

'Last time when I brought you here, my intentions were cruel, I wanted to destroy you, and make you leave this marriage and suffer...' Aayan began, and Ananya looks at him teary eyed

Of course how can she forget that, she came here as his wife, but only a namesake one, when she came here, last time, her dreams were shattered and his behavior made everything worse, but her determination was strong, which helped her survive...

But this time, she is not really sure whether she has the courage to bear him and his atorcities anymore...

Aayan wiped her tears and placed his hand on her cheeks, caressing it lovingly

'This time, I promise to prove that I don't have any such intentions anymore, I was being unreasonable and I have realised that... I will become a better husband Ananya, I will make this marriage work, this won't end in a divorce... ' he said determined and Ananya nodded

'Let's hope for the best Aayan...' she said and he smiled

'Can I kiss you...?' he asked and she looks at him shocked

'I am aware that this is common hall of the building, so don't worry I won't do anything of that sort... ' he chuckled and she sighed in relief

'You don't have to ask for it... ' Ananya says

He smiled and then pressed his lips on her forehead, and she closed her eyes, shiver running down her spine

'To the new beginnings... ' Aayan says smiling

She opens her eyes and looks at his hazel orbs...

'To the new beginnings... ' she repeats his words and smiles back

They walk inside the elevator and pressed their floor's button, Amayraa woke up and rubbed her eyes looking at Aayan and he smiles at her

'Aaya home...?' She asks

'Yes baby...we reached Home....' he said kissing her cheeks

The elevator halts at their floor and Aayan unlocks the door using his fingerprints and it opens

Welcome home Aayan Varma
Temperature - 22°C
Humidity - 62%
No of people in the house - 4

Hearing the door unlock, Mrs. Kumar walks out of the kitchen excitedly and smiles at them

'Papyyyy.... ' Amayraa said excitedly and Aayan chuckled, putting her carefully on the floor, and she ran towards her

'Amayraa baby....' Mrs. Kumar said happily and carried her in her arms

Aayan and Ananya look at them smiling and then at each other

Aayan slowly held her hands, interlocking their fingers, and she looks at him, not really sure what to say..

'Let's enter inside together, without you hitting me on the stomach... ' he said and Ananya chuckled recalling her first day in this house

She holds his hands too and they walk inside, Mrs. Kumar smiles at them as they approach her

'Pappyyy...  I missed you... ' Ananya says leaving Aayan's hand and hugging her

'I missed you too Ananya... ' Mrs. Kumar smiled

'Hey pappy...' Aayan hugged her too

'Baba..  So nice to see you... ' she smiled

'I am so hungry Pappy... ' Ananya whined and they chuckled at her antics

'Yes dear, you go freshen up... I will change Amayraa baby's clothes and then serve your dinner... ' she said and Aayan takes their luggage inside the room

Ananya walks inside and takes out comfortable clothes from her closet, and stiffens as Aayan wraps his arms around her waist, and kisses the back of her ear

'Aayan.. What are you...?' she began but he sushed her

'I like holding you this way...' he says and rests his head over her head, and Ananya took a deep breath

She gets out of his hold and looks at him, 'Aayan... I... I don't think...' she began, but he smiled and stops her 

'See I understand, that you must be getting uncomfortable with this intimacy, and also you don't trust me so it must be difficult too.. I won't force you for anything... I will win your trust gradually...' he said putting the hair strand behind her ears

Ananya couldn't believe that it was Aayan standing in front of her and saying all these, the arrogant Aayan Varma, was very sweet and caring to her today, which was good and disturbing at the same time...

What if this is his trick...?

'And this is not my trick to lure you for anything Ananya...' Aayan said sincerely and she startes at him

'I know this will take time, but we will eventually work on this... I will compensate for everything...' he said moving closer to her, his one arm wrapped around her waist

Ananya was unable to comprehend what to say, this was the first time after their marriage that she was speechless...

Aayan's eyes said a different story today, the eyes who always had hatred for her,held something else today and she was scared if this turns out to be a trick again, she won't be able to take it

He leaned in, and Ananya closed her eyes, preparing herself for what followed further, Aayan closed his eyes too, their lips were just about to touch, when the knock on the door brought them back to their senses

'Aayan Baba... someone is here to see you...' Mrs. Kumar says knocking the door

Aayan sighed in frustration and Ananya took a step back, as she was all red

'Way to ruin my romance...' he muttered and Ananya chuckled

He walked out of his room
'Who is it pappy...?' he asked but then froze on his spot seeing the person

Mrs. Kumar too looked at him with a worried expression and then glanced at the person...

'Aayan baby... I missed you so much...' She said in her sickening sweet tone and Mrs. Kumar looked at him shocked as she ran towards him and hugged him tightly

Ananya who was inside the room heard this, and came out and she too froze seeing Ritika clinging to Aayan, pressing her body with his, though he didn't hug her back

'Babe, I was so excited when I came to know that you are back, I couldn't wait for you to visit me at my apartment, I thought I will surprise you...' Ritika exclaimed and then pecked Aayan on his lips

Ananya's blood boiled at this and she disgustingly looked away, Mrs. Kumar gasped at Ritika's stunt and Aayan's anger reached it's peak now...

He pushed Ritika away and glared at her, while Mrs. Kumar did that too

Ananya was fighting hard to hold her tears, she fisted her hands to do that

'Baby, what are you...' Ritika looks at him shocked

'Madam, you very well know that Aayan baba is married, and still you did that...' Mrs. Kumar exclaimed angrily

'You mind your own business you bloody servant,whatever your masters do, is none of your concern...' Ritika spat arrogantly and they glared at her

Mrs. Kumar looked down in shame and walked inside the room wiping her tears...

'How dare you talk to her like that, she raised me since I was a boy, she is important to me and my family...' Aayan growled angrily

'Leave her na Aayan... You tell me this, did you get rid of that bimbo wife of yours...? I hope you did... Because I can't wait to get married to you, as you promised...' Ritika says holding Aayan's hands which he jerked away angrily

Ananya took a deep breath, because now she couldn't control her rage anymore...

'Ritika... I am warning you....' Aayan began, but Ananya came out and stood in front of Ritika, pushing Aayan behind

'Sorry to interrupt, but I heard that you were looking for me...' Ananya says sarcastically

Ritika was speechless for a second, because of Ananya's piercing gaze, but then composed herself

Aayan who was standing behind Ananya smirked looking at Ritika's scared face..

'Hey Anaya...' Ritika said looking her from top to bottom

'It's Anan.... Well, Nevermind ! you tell me this, who were you referring as the bimbo wife...?' Ananya raised her brows at her

'Uh...' Ritika looked at Aayan and he smirked at her

'Well, Anyway being a bimbo wife is better than being a gold digging whore...!' Ananya said looking at Ritika, from top to bottom and Aayan covered his mouth to control his laughter

'How dare you talk to me like that...! Aayan, will you let her talk to me like that...' Ritika says to Aayan and Ananya glares at him...

He opened his mouth to say something, but then backs off looking at his wife's angry face

'It's her house, she can do whatever she wants...' Aayan said and Ananya turns back to Ritika

'And just for your information, having an affair with a married man, when his wife is alive, is a crime, its called Adultery, and we have a law for that.. I can send you to jail...'  Ananya threatened

Ritika who had no idea that Ananya just lied to her, got scared at this..

'How dare you kiss my husband right in front of me...! In my house...!' Ananya said threatningly advancing towards Ritika, and she took a step back

'How dare you insult Mrs. Kumar ! She is not only our caretaker, but also a mother figure to Aayan...' Ananya said angrily

'Aayan.. Why aren't you...' Ritika began

*SLAP*

Aayan gasped and Ritika was more than shocked, she held her left cheek, where Ananya just slapped her and glared at her angrily

'You bitch...' she marched angrily towards Ananya, but now Aayan came in between and held her

'Get out of my house bitch, before my wife cuts you into small pieces...' Aayan threatened her

Ritika glared at Ananya and then at Aayan
'You will pay for this...' she spat and walked out of the house stomping her heels

Aayan turns to Ananya, and she glared at him with his bloodshot eyes

'You will marry her after I divorce you right...?' Ananya gritted and he looks at her scared

'Ananya she is lying...' Aayan began

'Well, good luck with that, because you will get that soon...' she said pushing him angrily and he gasped

'Ananya, please listen to me, we are not in a relationship, we never were...' Aayan tried to pacify her

'Such a liar you are Aayan...! You can never change...!' Ananya growled angrily

'No... At least hear me out...' he said helplessly

'Last time you visited Goa with her right, this time go to Maldives maybe, without any obligation of being someone's so called husband...' Ananya said, wiping her tears

'I did not go anywhere....' he said, but she interupted him again

'Such a liar you are Aayan....! You know what...' she began but then he cut her off by raising his voice

'LISTEN TO ME...!!!!!' Aayan shouts holding her by her arms tightly, digging his nails into her flesh

She winces at his hold and his grip loosens

'I did not go to Goa with her, neither did sleep with her, nor promised her any marriage... Yes I agree that I used her to irritate you that day, but that was just a drama okay, I did not sleep with her here, I slept with you in the penthouse...' Aayan clarified and she glared at him, ofcourse not believing

'You don't have to lie, I won't come in between you guys....' she says trying to free herself from his hold

'I have evidences to prove all this okay, I will prove to you that I did not cheat on you...!' Aayan said confidently

'Leave me Aayan...' she cries and he did as instructed

'Listen to me very carefully, this marriage is not over understand, call me selfish, controlling, anything ! But I will decide this marriage's fate ! Not you, not anyone else...but me...! And I say we will not leave each other...and that is final...' He said with determination

'You can't force me into this... You can't force someone to fall in love with you...' Ananya shot back

'You already love me Ananya, you just need the sense of security that I won't cheat on you.. I will make sure you get that....' Aayan said

'What if I die !' Ananya said angrily and Aayan mouth went dry

He had goosebumps all over, the mere thought of her death made his heart hammer with fear and his hands and feet turned cold

'You won't...' he managed to say

'You can't control that... And you know what, I dont trust you, I will never trust you and I will never be yours...'  she said angrily and turned around to leave

Aayan caught her hand and pulled her towards him, so that her she collides with his chest

'You are already mine Ananya Thapar, and I promise you that I will make you realise that you are mine...' he said and tears roll down her eyes

She gets out of his hold and runs inside her room and bolted it...

Aayan ran his fingers through his hairs and kicked the table in frustration

'When I am trying to make everything right, why is this happening...!' he muttered angrily

Will you be able to make everything okay Aayan...?
