*Rikara's side*
Om gave a full tour of the his secret workshop. And as they were proceeding the painting was becoming more beautiful. Or maybe she was feeling like that.

Gauri: When did you make all thses?
Om(hesitating): When.... When....
Gauri: Just say it.
Om: When you had left me, I would always paint you and make myself calm seeing your eyes. 
Gauri(astonished): Really?
Om: Yes. Even if I used to say myself that no I won't paint you, but ultimately I would see a potrait of yours in front of me with your enchanting black eyes and beautiful smile. I don't know whether you will agree or not but these only kept me alive. Every time I painted you, I would feel as if you are here in front of me and smiling.

Hearing him, she had tears in her eyes. She couldn't even imagine in her life that she would be so lucky to have someone like him. But one question was still troubling her.

Gauri: Omkaraji, why did you miss me so much when you didn't even trust me?

Om knew that this would be coming but soon he never expected. Still he had prepared himself and he thinks that today he has to clear everything between them.

Om(holding her hands in his in a firm hold) : Gauri.... I know you want to know everything and I will tell you also. But before that let's have our dinner. It's quite late already. Come.

He dragged her towards other part of the room where there was a type of small balcony. A table for two was beautifully arranged with candles. He made her sit and settled himself in front of her. Like a gentleman he served her and she kept on looking at him in aww. After serving, she was about to eat it when he stopped her. She looked at him in confusion.

Om: May I?

Gauri allowed him to do whatever he wants. He fed her with atmost care and she was just enjoying her husband's love. After dinner, Om took her to the backward. She was just following him as if she was in a trance of his love. Om stopped abruptly and she frowned.

Gauri: What happened?
Om(pointing towards something) : Look there....

She followed his finger and the scene just amazed her. Thousand twinking stars were covering the dark sky and the moon was in it's full glory. They were standing in the darkness yet it was so much lighted because of the full moon.

Om: Liked it?
Gauri: This is so beautiful Omkaraji....
Om: I am glad you like it. Let's sit down and talk.

They sat on the grasses with Om back hugging Gauri. She blushed feeling him so close to her.

Gauri: Omkaraji what are you doing?
Om: What am I doing? I am just hugging my wife.  I can't that also.
Gauri(feeling shy and bent her head down) : No.... I mean....
Om(lifting her head and making her look at him) : Never bend your head in front of me. Understood?
Gauri: Hmm.....
Om(hugging her again and kept his chin on her shoulder) : Isn't it so good to be like this? I am liking it. What about you?
Gauri(keeping her hand over his) : I am also liking it.

They sat in silence for quite some time. He was occasional rubbing her bare stomach under her sari while she did only one thing that is to blush.

Om: Gauri....
Gauri: Hmm....
Om: I never wanted you to leave me.
Gauri(confused and turned towards him) : I didn't get you.
Om(taking her hands and bowed his head) : I never wanted you to leave me and go.  I know whatever I had done with you was crime.... No sin. I should have listened to you before making a picture of yours in my mind.  The day when Buamaa's truth was revealed, I was going to say you about my misconceptions about you and sort out everything. Then you..... You... Got shot and seeing you in that state broke something in me. I don't know what but it seemed as if you were going away from me.  I couldn't bear to see like that. When doctor said that you are out of danger, I felt as if I got my life back. But again, the next day I find you missing. Your letter showed your pain and the suffering you faced.  I broke down again.  You might ask me why I didn't try to find you when I was so broken. Frankly speaking Gauri, I didn't have the courage to do so.  I am coward that when I will meet you, I might hurt you and you might start hating me.  I can accept anything but not your hatred. So I used to remember you by painting your potrait. Then I don't know how bhabi got to know about it and the rest you know.

Gauri was having tears in her eyes listening to him. Not only she but he has also witnessed hell without her. But why?

Gauri(shake voice) : But why Omkaraji? Why did you miss me so much? Why did you break seeing me get shot? Why were you coward to face me? Why?

She didn't want to do this. But it was necessary for their relationship. She needed to know his feelings for her.

Om(looking straight into her eyes) : Maybe because I have started loving you......

This was a shock to her. She didn't expect this answer. She thought maybe he was liking her. But love? And here she thought that she is the only one loving him.

Om: I can understand your inner turmoil. You don't need to reply me now. Take your time.  I will be waiting for your answer.
Gauri(whispering): What if I also have the same feelings?
Om(shocked): What?
Gauri(goes near his ears and whispered) : I love you Mr. Omkara Singh Oberoi.....  (and kissed his cheek)

She suddenly become too shy and hid her face in the crock of his neck. Till now he was in shocked state but her extremely close face brought him back to reality. He smiled and hugged her tightly. She also reciprocated with the same intensity. They remained in that position for sometime. He broke the hug and looked at her glowing face. He stood up and pulled her too. He cupped her face and looked directly into her eyes. He slowly kissed her forehead, followed by right eye, then left eye, then left cheek and right cheek. She had already closed her eyes feeling his lips on her forehead. He stopped which made her open her eyes. His graze was on her lips. He looked at her eyes for permission. She again closed her eyes showing her approval. Getting positive response, he slowly placed his lips on hers and started kissing her softly. She held onto his tightly as if she would fall any moment and went with the flow. He held onto her tightly feeling her weak knees. The kiss was slow yet passionate. It had care, love and passion. After about two minutes they broke the kiss leaving them breathless. They joined their foreheads with closed eyes.

Om(breathing heavily) : I love you Gauri.....
Gauri(breathing heavily) : I love you too Omkaraji.....

He finally hugged her and sealed their new blooming love. The moon and the stars, as usual were witnesses to the new blooming love story.

*Rumya's room *
Rudra was about to kiss Soumya, when someone knocked at the door. They got alert and moved away from each other. Soumya was blushing uncontrollably while Rudra too was embarrassed.  The knock brought them back again and Soumya opened the door to see Janvi standing.

Janvi: Soumya beta, I am sorry to disturb you.
Soumya: Aare aunty is absolutely fine. Tell me any work.
Janvi: First of all stop calling me Aunty.  I am like your mother, so you will call me Mom just like Rudra calls me. Am I clear?
Soumya: Yes Aunty.... I mean Mom.
Janvi: Good. And the thing for which I came. Me, Tej and Shakti are going out for some business party. We might be late. So you all have your dinner and sleep. Don't need to be awake for us.
Soumya: Okay Mom. But Pinky Aunty?
Janvi: She doesn't want to go.  I don't know what is her new tantrum now. Never mind. You all take dinner and sleep. (she was leaving when she remembered something) Aacha, I haven't seen Anika and Shivaay. Where are they?
Soumya(scared to answer her) : Actually..... Haa.... Actually Baade bhaiya was very tired so he wanted to rest. So he and bhabi are in their room only. I guess they won't have their dinner tonight.
Janvi: Okay but they should have something.
Soumya: I will give then afterwards. Don't worry about anything Mom. Just enjoy with Tej Uncle.
Janvi: You are also not less than Rudra. Okay we are leaving. Take care.

Saying so she left. Soumya heaved a sigh of relief. She turned around but shrieked seeing Rudra so near to her.

Soumya(keeping her hand on her chest) : Rudra, you scared the hell of me. Who comes so suddenly.
Rudra(holding her by the waist) : Stop. You talk a lot.
Soumya(shocked): Rudra, what are you doing? Leave me someone will come.
Rudra(husky voice) : Did you forget or trying to act to smart? Didn't you hear what mom said just now? Practically No one is in the house. So I  can do whatever I want. And if you forgetting then let me remind you that I was in the middle of something.
Soumya(stammering): Wh... What are you talking about?
Rudra(whispered): This.....

He pulled her into the room, closed the door and placed his lips on hers. All these happened so fast that Soumya was unable to comprehend anything. She came out of her shock when he bit her lower lip softly. She too started responding back. They broke the kiss when they were breathless.

Rudra(breathing heavily) : I wanted to do this so badly because you are looking extremely gorgeous today.
Soumya: So you will do this every time I look good?
Rudra(smirked): Without a doubt.

And he kissed her again, but this time softly. Finally breaking the kiss, they went down for dinner.

*Mohi's side *
Chaat lunch went well and then after roaming around the beach and the surrounding markets, they were returning back. Till now, Mona hasn't said anything about her decision and Mahi was also not forcing her.

Mahi: You want to have dinner outside or with family?
Mona: No, let's have it with others.  I am sure Dadi must be waiting for us.
Mahi: Okay, as you say.

They reached Oberoi mansion and went inside just in time for dinner.

Soumya: Aare, Mona bhabi Mahi bhaiya, just in right time.
Mona: Let me help you in serving.

Mona and Soumya went in for the dishes, while Rudra and Mahi settled themselves on the table.

Rudra: Bhaiya, what were you doing for so long? Haa romance and all...
Mahi : Shut up Rudra. Nothing like that.
Rudra: Then where were you two?
Mahi: Beach....
Rudra: Beach?? Wah! Kya baat hai....
Mahi: Nothing like what you were thinking. Mona was stressed after knowing about her family. So I took her to the beach to release her stress.
Rudra: Okay..... But still you and bhabi in the beach all alone.... (wiggling his eye brows)
Mahi(sighed): Nothing can be done with you. I don't how does Soumya handles you.
Rudra: Aare, Bhaiya I handle her not she.
Soumya(entering the dining room) : Is it? Cry baby don't try to be too smart.
Rudra: I didn't tell anything. Did I? (asking Mahi)
Mahi(hands up in surrender) : I am not getting involved in your husband and wife fight. Soumya, you handle him.
Soumya: Of course bhaiya. Don't worry about that.  I will tell him very nicely.
Rudra(sensing the upcoming danger) : Aahh.... Sumo I was telling why don't we have our dinner. I am starving.
Mahi(murmuring): Aab aaya Soumya ke jaal me.
Rudra: Bhaiya aapne kuch kaha?
Mahi: Tuune kuch suna?

Rudra looked at him with narrow eyes while Mahi just shrugged his shoulders.

Mona: Where is Dadi?
Soumya: Actually she wasn't feeling like coming down so I sent her dinner to her room only.
Mahi: Shivaay and bhabi?

Rudra and Soumya exchanged looks with each others which didn't go unnoticed by Mohi.

Mona: What's the matter?
Mahi: Something happened to bhabi?
Rudra(murmuring): How do they get to know so easily....
Mahi: Rudra, stop murmuring and say what happened.
Soumya: Bhaiya... Actually.....

She narrated the whole incident and by the time she finished, a loud cry was heard. Everyone looked back and saw Gauri and Omkara standing, and Gauri had tears in her eyes.

Gauri(crying): So much happened and no one even informed me about it.
Soumya: I was helpless bhabi. Baade bhaiya had said not to inform anyone about it.
Om: But, still you should have at least informed us.
Mahi: Let's not fight over this matter. But who can do this?
Gauri(angry and ragged voice) : Mrs. Pinky Singh Oberoi.
Everyone(shocked): What?
Gauri: Isn't it obvious? She never liked Didi and finds every possible way to harm her or to kick her out of the house. Without a doubt I am saying it is done by her only.
Om: But I am not getting why is she doing so? Wasn't snatching Bhabi's baby enough for her that she is hell bent on killing her now.
Mahi: Why do I feel like there are too many mysteries of his family?
Om: Even I have also started to feel like that.
Rudra: If it is, then what is it?
Soumya: That we have to find out....
Gauri: And Didi has already started in this mission.
Om: Whatever happens, we will always be together no matter what ever situation comes.

He spread his hand in front. Gauri followed him and then Mahi, Mona, Rudra and Soumya. Later they completed their dinner and departed to the respective rooms.

*Mohi's room *
Mahi went to freshen up while Mona stood by the window looking at the moon.

Mona(thinking): So many things are happening all together and I don't know what to do.  I became orphan and suddenly got my family. Should I be happy or should I curse my fate for it? Why can't I lead a peaceful life?

Unknowninly tears rolled down her eyes which she realized when someone wiped it from her cheeks.

Mahi(low voice) : You don't look good when you cry.
Mona(wiping her remaining tears): I didn't know when I started crying.
Mahi: It's fine. Are you okay?
Mona: Hmm... Just thinking about my life how it changed suddenly and I don't know what to do now.
Mahi: I will tell you a secret.
Mona: What?
Mahi: Even I have faced this and do you know what I did.
Mona: What you did?
Mahi: Went with the flow.....
Mona(confused): I didn't get you.
Mahi: Just accepted whatever was coming to me. Getting married to you, being an Oberoi and coming to Oberoi mansion. Everything I accepted wholeheartedly.  I know maybe I might get hurt from someone or some incidents might hurt me but still I accepted because I wanted to live that moment. Maybe my decision won't be wrong.

Mona went into thinking and finally came to a conclusion.

Mona(smiled): Then I guess, I should also give a chance to the happenings and accept Bajaj uncle as my Grandfather and my only family.....
Mahi(super happy) : Really?
Mona: I guess.

He was so happy that he hugged her tightly showing his approval and happiness. She was shocked seeing his actions but later reciprocated back. Mahi realised what he did and broke the hug.

Mahi(embarrassed): I didn't mean to do it. It was just as a reflex.
Mona: It's absolutely fine.  I didn't mind. Rather I needed one.
Mahi: Thank god, I thought you would be angry.
Mona: Naa. Let's sleep.  I am very tired.
Mahi: Sure.

They called off for the day.

*Next Day*
Sunlight peeped through the curtains and disturbed our Sleeping Beauty's sleep. She tried to open her eyes but instantly felt heavy and closed it. She moved her to the other side and came across Shivaay's. She opened it again and saw him sleeping peacefully while holding her tightly. She smiled a bit and carenessed his face. This woke him up and he saw her smiling at him. He instantly got up  and she came across his bare chest. She shricked seeing him.

Anika(heavy voice) : Shivaay.... Why were you sleeping like this?
Shivaay(checking her forehead) : I will tell you later. How are you feeling?
Anika: Nothing much. My head is paining and I feel feverish. (she coughs)
Shivaay: Okay... Okay..... Don't talk.  You will feel like that don't worry. Doctor had said about it.  I will help you out. Wait.
Anika: At least put on a shirt.
Shivaay(smirking): Why? Can't resist my hot body?
Anika(rolling her eyes) : Don't start in the morning now Shivaay.
Shivaay(murmuring): Unromantic wife.
Anika: I heard that. Now will you say me why were you sleeping like that?
Shivaay(cupping her face) : If I say you that in order to save your life I... I.... Had to break the promise which I made to you, will you ever forgive me?
Anika: No....
Shivaay(sad face) : You won't ever forgive me?
Anika: I will not forgive you because you haven't done anything wrong.  And I know whatever happens you won't break your promise ever.
Shivaay(shocked): How can you be so sure about it?
Anika(sincerity): Because I trust you...........
Shivaay(hugged her tightly) : I just love you.
Anika(hugging him back): Me too. And thank you for giving me life.
Shivaay(breaking the hug) : You are my life. How can I ever think of leaving you?
Anika: But what did you do to save me when you didn't touch me?
Shivaay(sitting in front of her) : When doctor said, that only I can save you then two things were roaming around my head- my promise to you and your critical condition. Whatever happens I can't break my promise given to you. And I had to save you. You needed body heat to save you from frost bite. So I asked Soumya to bring some alcohol and some black coloured cloth. After she went, I made you have a little bit of the drink and switched off the lights and just undressed our upper part of the body.  I hugged you from behind tightly till your body temperature started raising. When I thought you were fine enough I wrapped you in the black cloth. Until your temperature become normal, I didn't sleep. Around 4 am when you gained slight consciousness, I was releaved. Then you slept off and I did too.  I just saved you from a dreadful condition.
Anika(carenessed his cheeks) : Now I am fine. You have saved me. Don't be streesed. Shaat ho jayiye..... I am fine.
Shivaay: I was just about to loose you.  I can't risk your life again. We will leave from here.  I won't live here.
Anika: We won't do anything like that. Shivaay, this is your family and they need you. Just because of one person, you will leave your entire family who loves you emmensely. No, not at all. Listen to me Shivaay, we won't leave anyone here. You trust me right?
Shivaay(holding her hand tightly) : More than myself.
Anika: Then, with this trust only let's live here with others happily. Nothing will happen to me when I have my husband and my loveable devars with me. Right?
Shivaay(hugging her) : Right..... I will never leave you, this is....
Anika : Shivaay Singh Oberoi's promise...
Shivaay: No..... Anika's Shivaay's promise.....

She smiled hearing it and hugged him tightly.

Shivaay(breaking the hug): Now let's help you out and you will strictly be sitting in the room and resting. Dare you go out of the room and show your shunts.
Anika: As you say Mr. Caring Singh Oberoi.
Shivaay: Again a new name? Seriously Anika, you are.....
Anika: I know incredible.

He just nodded his head in disbelief while she giggled seeing him sigh. He helped her freshen up and he, himself did too. He settled her back on the bed and  went out for their breakfast.

Here Anika went into deep thoughts.

Anika(thinking): I need to find out about Pinky Aunty's motive soon otherwise she will keep on targetting me and it will constantly break Shivaay.  I don't care about myself but I can't see Shivaay like this.  I have to find out soon. (unknowninly her hand went to her stomach) She has not only snatched my happiness but my Shivaay's too.  I can never forgive her as a mother... Never....

She closed her eyes and tears rolled down her eyes unknowninly. All the incidents came as a flashback to her from the time, they got to know about their baby till her miscarriage. And then her traumatic days along with Shivaay's painful journey. She can now clearly understand what he has gone through. If that day, she had lost two important person in her life, then he has also lost. She thought, Shivaay left her but he was constantly with her. But she had isolated herself so much that she failed to notice his pain. Unknowninly, she started rubbing her stomach like she used to do and talk with the baby. A small smile erupted in her lips, feeling the essence. Someone caught her hand softly which snapped her out of her dreams. His blue green eyes showed love was piercing her brown once.

Shivaay: Saab thik ho jayega...
Anika: Janti hu.. Aap saab thik deghge.....
Shivaay(looking at their hands) : We will again enjoy this happiness.  I promise.....
Anika: I know you will.....
Shivaay: What to hear something?
Anika: What?
Shivaay(taking his phone out) : This......

The whole room echoed with the sound of heartbeat. Hearing it, Anika had tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe it.

Anika(chocking voice) : Is this.... No.... Was this..... Our baby's?
Shivaay: Yes.  I had recorded during your second checkup that to secretly. Do you know what is it saying? (she nodded no) He/she who ever it was, says that Mom don't cry and keep smiling.  I  am always with you..... If I don't stay also, don't worry I will surely back to you soon.....

She couldn't control anymore and threw herself on him and cried. He didn't want to make her cry. But it was needed to remove her insecurities and her pain. He consoled her and she finally stopped crying. He broke the hug and kissed her forehead lovingly for a few minutes.

Shivaay: Breakfast?
Anika: Hmm....

They had a silent breakfast which wasn't awkward at all. Giving her the medicines, he made her lay down on the bed. She kept on staring at him while he was patting her head softly. Slowly, due to medicine effect, sleep took over her and she slept. He kept on looking at her intently and slowly kissed her forehead which made her smile in sleep. He, too settled himself beside her and slept off.

*After 2 hours*
Anika opened her eyes and looked around to see Shivaay missing. She got up slowly and rested against the bedrest. A small chit caught her sight kept on the side table. She picked it up and read-

Had an important meeting.....
I didn't want to but Mahi forced me to go because it was very important. I have asked Gauri to give you lunch and medicines when you get up. Don't you dare go out of the room.....
Will be back in an hour or 2.....
Your Shivaay..... 😊

Anika: So when Shivaay isn't here, I can discuss about the matter with Khanna ji.

She took her phone and called him to the room, as strictly instructed by her husband.

Khanna(entering the room) : Yes, ma'am.
Anika: Did you get any information regarding the factory?
Khanna: Not so much. But it was an old factory of the Oberoi's only.
Anika: Old factory of the Oberoi?
Khanna: Yes, ma'am. Around 25 years back, it was shut down due to inadequate resources.
Anika: Then what was Pinky Aunty doing there?
Khanna: From the local people, I enquired. They said that after 3 years of shutting down, they are seeing some activities going on in the factory.
Anika: They never informed anyone?
Khanna: No because, Pinky ma'am was constantly seen there. So they never doubted.
Anika(getting all the informations) : That means fron the past 22 years, Pinky Aunty is going to that factory and no one... I mean no one knows about it in our family. How is it possible?
Khanna: Because she used to say that she is going for Kitty party or friend gathering. When she went for many days, then she would make an excuse of visiting her mother when her mother had never seen after her marriage.
Anika(shocked): What? That means....
Khanna: Jo dikh raha hai, kuch aur hai aur jo hai woh kuch aur hai.....
Anika: I have to go to it's root.
Khanna: Should I inform Shivaay sir about it?
Anika: No.  I will tell you who will help us out.  I request you Khanna ji, please don't tell anything to Shivaay. Please. As a sister, I am asking this much from you. Please.
Khanna: Okay ma'am I won't. But your security?
Anika: You are there to protect me, I guess?
Khanna: Of course ma'am anytime.
Anika: Now you leave and try to find out more about it.
Khanna: Sure ma'am. Good day.

He left leaving Anika in deep thoughts.

Anika(thinking): Now only one person can help me.....

She called someone and conversation is muted.... 😂😂

*Kitchen*
Gauri was making lunch for others and side by side was heating her Di's lunch too which her jiju had made it before leaving.

Gauri(talking to herself): Baade bhaiya love Didi so much. They always stay with each other no matter what the situation is.

''Even I also love you.... '',came a voice and she blushed.

Om(walking in) : Sometimes think about your husband also.
Gauri(not looking at him) : I think.
Om: Really? Then why aren't you looking at me and talking?
Gauri(still avoiding him) : Because I am busy and I don't have time to stare at you all the time. I need to give lunch to Didi and others too.......

She kept on blabbering while Om kept on looking at her with love. Suddenly, she was pulled by him into his arms. She was shocked and her eyes widened.

Gauri(trying to free herself) : Omkaraji what are you doing? Someone will come.
Om: I don't care.  I am holding my wife not some stranger.
Gauri: Please leave me. Someone will see and then it will become a problem.
Om(nuzzling his face in her shoulder) : Let them see.... I don't care.
Gauri(whispers feeling his so close) : Omkaraji......

He moved forward and kissed her neck softly while she shuddered feeling his proximity.

Dadi: Aare, why is the table empty? Kisko khana nehi khana kya?

Hearing her, Om left her abruptly and she was blushing away.

Gauri(shouting back) : Haa, Dadi. Bringing....

She took the bowls and ran out of the kitchen while Om stood there rubbing his neck.

Om: You are simply whipped in love.  I am behaving worst than a teenager. God! She must be thinking that I am crazy.
Gauri(peeping in the kitchen) : You aren't crazy Mr. Oberoi.  You are in love with this Chiraiya.... And she too....

She giggled and ran away to Shivika's room. While Om just grinned listening to her.

*Shivika's room *

Anika(talking on the phone) : Thanks..... I  will meet you in the evening.
Gauri(entering the room) : Where are you in the evening?
Anika: Aare Chutki. Come...
Gauri(placing the tray on the bed) : I asked where are you going in the evening? Don't you know that you aren't supposed to go out of the room.
Anika: But it is important and I have to go to meet someone.
Gauri: Who?
Anika:..........(revealed later 😂😂)
Gauri(confused): But why you want to meet him?
Anika(sighing): Long story. Will say you later. (picking up the plate) You had lunch?
Gauri: No will have it after you are done.
Anika(taking a bite) : Hmm... So how are you?
Gauri(confused): What happened to me? Rather I should ask you. Yesterday, me and Omkaraji went somewhere and here this happened with you.  I shouldn't have left you and went di...
Anika: Nonsense. How would you have known that something like that would have happened. Leave it and say how was your first date? (with a mischief smile)
Gauri(blushed recalling everything) : It was good di.....
Anika: Why do I feel something else also happened?
Gauri(blushed more) : Nothing like that Di.....
Anika: Now I am sure something more interesting has happened. Say....
Gauri(blushing like hell) : Omkaraji loves me and I too. So we reciprocated our love to each other and later..... Later....
Anika(cutting her in between) : Okay, I understood.  I don't want to hear about my sister's private moments. But seriously I am very happy for you both. Finally, that Long haired person got some brain and said you about his love.
Gauri(pouting): But, he is irritating me, whenever he is near me.
Anika(laughing): Nothing like that Chutki. You know why the husbands irritate us? (she nodded her head no) Because they want to make us feel special. This small small gestures..... Some irritating acts...... Are the ways to express their love to us. Unlike women, most of the men can't express their love everytime. Just like your jiju, he took so much time to express his feelings. Through I was eagerly waiting for it, but his gestures like care, unspoken love, support and making you feel secure made me realize how much I mean to him. Even a small cut on me makes him go crazy. And now, I mean the world to him. That's why I say, enjoy whatever the irritating acts of him and I am advising you, irritate his as well.
Gauri: You love Shivaay Jiju so much......
Anika: You don't even know how much I love him. He was there when I had no one beside. Though he doubted me once but seeing my condition due to Daksh and also when my innocence was proved, his total aura changed. And then his change of ideologies, which was a big milestone for our relationship. If someone asks me what is life? My answer will be 'Shivaay'. This is the intensity of my love for him.
Gauri: Surely your couple is my ideal. Whatever, here medicines and rest.  Omkaraji must be waiting for me....
Anika(smirk): Sure..... Now toh everytime will be Omkaraji and Omkaraji..... Forget your Didi....

She turned her face away in fake annoyance but Gauri took it seriously.

Gauri: It's nothing like that Didi.  I can never forget you.  I am sorry if I hurt you unknowninly.
Anika(looking at her) : Aare pagal, I was just teasing you. Now go and take lunch and let me rest.

Gauri smiled and went out taking the tray. She closed the door and secretly took out her phone.

Gauri(talking with someone) : Did you like it Jiju?
Shivaay: Thank you Gauri..... For letting me hear what Anika thinks about me..... And secondly congrats for your new life. Finally, my brother became an Ishqbaaz.....
Gauri(shying away) : Jiju please....
Shivaay(laughing): Okay, fine.  I won't tease you. And haa, I will be late. Take care of Anika.
Gauri: You should inform Didi.
Shivaay: I will. She is resting now. When she wakes up I will inform her. I need to run. I call you later to know about Anika.
Gauri: Sure, jiju. Don't worry I will look after her.

They hung up the call and Gauri went to take her lunch with her dear husband.

*Priyanka's room *
Priyanka was sitting on the bed with a gloomy face. Many thoughts were roaming around her head.

Priyanka(thinking): Raghav went without even meeting me. But why am I feeling so sad about it? That is what I wanted right? He should be away from me. But why is seems like something important was left me? Why am I feeling so alone when he is not around me? And why am I even thinking about Anika Bhabi's  talks? (she heard what Anika had said to Gauri regarding love gestures). Am I being effected due to his absence?
Priyanka(imaginary): You are being effected.
Priyanka: But why?
Priyanka(imaginary): Because you love him and you can't live without him.
Priyanka(shocked): Not possible.  I can't love anyone. I have already been hurt in this feelings.  I can't love anyone. No... No....
Priyanka(imaginary): Okay, suppose if Raghav is going to be engaged with someone. Will you be happy?
Priyanka(instantly): No.  I can't see him getting engaged with someone else.
Priyanka(imaginary smiled at her) : You have got your answer.....

She vanished leaving Priyanka in diellama.

Priyanka(confused): Do I really love Raghav?

Precap: Anika meeting someone...... Alone? Mona meeting Mr. Bajaj..... Raghav in danger...... Dadi announces something.....
