"Mai ja raha hun Sonia ke...." His words die as Anika pulled him by his collar and put her plum glossy lips on his, igniting fire in their body.

Their lips were still, neither of the two moved. They were just feeling the touch of their love. Shivika remained like that for a few seconds when Shivaay withdrew and saw that her eyes were closed. He pulled her by her waist and latched their lips. He nibbled with her lower lip while she clutched his collar tighter. He began to suck her upper lip and to his surprise, Anika responded

Wowwwww.....

Their lips were moving perfectly in sync. His hold tighten over her back and he pulled her closer. Anika poured all her emotions into that kiss. It was indeed a blissful moment for them.

They parted unwillingly due to lack of oxygen. Both were huffing.

They looked into each other's eyes.

"I LOVE YOU SHIVAAY"

The three magical words, which he had been waiting since so long to hear from her mouth finally came out and she instantly hugged him due to shyness.

Shivaay smiled realizing her words and caressed her hair.

But the next thing Anika did shook him. She pushed him with all her might and ran from the room. Not able to get an idea of her sudden reaction, he followed her but collided with Sonia on his way.

"Tum ready nahi huye?" she asked.

He ignored her and went to find Anika. She went to the poolside and wetness filled her cheeks. She couldn't hold back her tears. The immense love, she had been hiding successfully from Shivaay is out now. What will she do?

Anika felt a masculine hand on her shoulders but instantly backed off.

"Whats wrong with you?" he asked.

"Dekhiye, kuch der pehle jo hi hua, aap bhul jaiye. Wo bas ek...." She couldn't complete as Shivaay interrupted.

"Wo kya? Ab kaunsa naya bahana banaogi? Apne aap se bhi jhuth bolti rahi, mujhse bhi. I always knew ki tum feel karti ho mere liye jo mai feel karta hun tumhare liye"

She looked upto him in surprise.

"Lekin aapne to dosti kaha tha na" she said innocently.

"Idiot. Dumbo ho tum. Dosti hi pyaar ki pehli siri hoti hai. Kuch kuch hota hai itni baar dekhi phir bhi nahi pata?" he asked while she chuckled.

He wiped off the tears from her eyes.

"Inn aakhon me aansun aane nahi dunga aur hothon se hasi chutne nahi dunga" his words made her realize how madly she has fallen for him.

"Aap sachme mere liye ab bhi feel karte hai?" Anika asked.

"Oho, agar nahi karta to ye jo thodi der pehle kia wo nahi karta."

She blushed remembering it. He made her sit on a chair.

"Anika, maine tumhe apna friend mana hai, patni maana hai and I firmly believe ki humare beech koi secret nahi rehna chahiye" he began.

"I am sorry ki mujhe aapse ye baat chupani padi. Jis din aapne mujhe propose kia tha mai uss din hi chilla chilla ke apse kehna chahti ki mai bhi aapse pyaar karti hun lekin.." she sobbed harder.

"Iss pariwar ne mujhe bohut kuch dia hai Shivaay, jitna maine kabhi socha bhi nahi tha. Mere bare kuch na jaante huye bhi, mujhe iss ghar me panaah di aur agar mai aapke saath hi ilu ilu kar lungi to ye selfishness hoga meri taraf se"

"Ilu ilu, whats that?" Shivaay asked.

"maine itna kuch kaha aur aapko sirf ilu ilu hi sunayi dia?" Anika scrunched her nose.

"Okay okay continue"

"Mai ek anaath hun aur Oberoi khandan puri India me one of most reputed family hai. Agar mera naam jura to aap logo pe sawaal uthaye jaenge. Mai ek buri saaya hun jisne kabhi bhi..."

Shivaay placed his fingers on her lips.

"Ab aur nahi bologi tum. You don't know tumne meri zindagi me kitni khushiyaan bhari hai. Jo khalipan mujhe mehsoos hota tha, wo tumne bhara hai, mujhe ISHQBAAZ banaya hai tumne Anika"

She hugged him in no time.

"Hume to ye samajh nahi aa raha puttar ki tu humaare bare me itna nich sochti hai?" the family made their entry and Shivika broke the hug.

"Dadi.."

"Aur nahi to kya Anika? Tumhe laga ki tum orphan ho to humaare kaabil nahi ho?" Tej said

"Insaan ki pehchaan uske karm se hoti hai na ki uske naam kya khoon khandaan se" Jhanvi said.

"Bhabhi ne to mujhe bhi paraya kar diya" Rudy whined.

"Mujhe maaf kar dijiye" Anika joined her hands but Jhanvi went near her and hugged her.

"Beti apne ma ke gale padti hai. Aur aainda se kabhi bhi khudko akela mat samajhna, ye pura pariwaar jitna SHivOmRu ka hai, utna hi tumhara aur Gauri ka bhi hai"

"Gauri?" Shivaay asked while Om blushed.

"Ab aap apni love story se hatenge to naa kisi aur ki love story dekh payenge bhaiya" Rudy said as a matter of fact.

"Shut up Rudra" Om turned towards Jhanvi,

"Ma, aisa kuch nahi hai." He said.

"Bas kar khote de puttar, ma aur dadi se chupake kya fayda?" Dadi said

"Aur dad se bhi" Tej chipped in between.

"Abhi hume new love birds ko thoda time dena chahiye akele" Jahnvi said and they went out.

"Tum mera contribution kaise bhul sakte ho Shivaay?" Sonia entered.

"Aa gayi chudail" Anika murmured under her breath.

Shivaay moved towards her.

"Thank you so much Sonia, it would have been really difficult without your help" he said.

"Help?" Anika asked.

"Meri pyaari Anika, ye Shivaay ka plan tha to make you jealous and confession ke liye. And he is successful" she said and Anika stood dumbfounded

"Aakhir banda hai hi itna talented" Shivaay flipped his hair.

"Tadibaaz" Anika said while Sonia laughed.

"I am sorry ki maine tumhe itna buda bhala kaha" Sonia hugged her and Anika's anger and enmity with her vanished like it was never before.

"It's ok. Aur maine bhi to kitna kuch kaha tumhe. I am sorry to but thank you very much"

"I must say SSO kafi lucky hai to have you" Sonia said.

"Na.." Anika said while the duo raised their brows

"Mai bohut lucky hun ki Shivaay meri zindagi me hai" Anika said proudly and Shivaay smiled.

"Ok ok guys, mujhe itni meethi meethi baton ki aadat nahi hai, I will take your leave" she said.
