Shivaay and Anika reached Mumbai through Chopper at 6:00 in the morning, After landing, Shivaay and anika got into the car.

"Driver, first lets drop Anika, so go to Rathod mansion." Shivaay instructed the driver, the driver obliged and started the car.

"Shivaay first lets go to Oberoi mansion, so that I can meet om and rudra, then we all together will go to my house." Anika suggested looking at him.

"Actually anika, Om and Rudra are at your house right now, they informed me in the morning and they asked me to come to Rathod mansion first. So we are going to your house first." he explained, she smiled at him and nodded.

He intertwined his fingers with her and winked at her, she blushed at his act and rested her head on his shoulder, he caressed her hair and pecked her forehead.

After reaching the Mansion, Anika hopped out of the car and rushed into the mansion, Shivaay chuckled at her antics and followed her.

"Hi Dad, Hi mom, I missed you a lot." Anika chided wrapping her around them taking them in a bone crashing hug, Tej let out a laugh and hugged her back kissing her forehead.

"Welcome back Princess, I missed you too and Happy Birthday my princess." he said, Anika smiled widely and nodded her head.

"Happy Birthday Anika." Jhanvi wished her, "Aww! thank you mom." she replied.

"Happy Birthday Ani/Anika/Anika dii/Gorgeous." The friends gang screamed in excitement, she smiled and hugged them tightly.

"Thank you guys." she replied in excitement.

Shivaay came and hugged Tej, "Uncle, now I'm gonna take your blessings as Anika loves me too and she accepted my proposal." he whispered making Tej flutter in happiness.

"Really?" he asked in disbelief, Shivaay smiled and nodded.

"Wow that's really a great news Shivaay" tej exclaimed in a low tone, Shivaay smiled and took blessings from him

"Thank you uncle for trusting me." he poured his heart out, Tej glared at him.

"Uncle? Call me as Papa now understood, after all you are my daughters soon to be husband." Tej told, shivaay smiled and nodded in a yes.

"Oh god! I need to tell this to Jhanvi" tej decided to tell it to jhanvi but was stopped by Shivaay.

"No Papa, I and Anika will say it together" he assured, Tej smiled and nodded.

"So bhaiya, how was your journey" Rudra asked in a teasing manner, Shivika blushed at Rudra's question.

"It was good." Shivaay answered glaring at Rudra, Rudra chuckled and hid behind Haider.

"So guys, we are arranging a Party tonight as its Anika's birthday." Haider informed.

"And yeah we are thinking to invite business clients and officials" Haider added.

"No way." Anika immediately screamed at top of her voice.

"You know I hate Grand parties, it's my birthday and it will be celebrated in a simple manner." Anika rebuked glaring at Haider, Haider gulped his saliva and looked at shivaay to save him, who shrugged his shoulders looking away.

Haider's jaw dropped at such a cold reaction, "Oh god!Such a jerk he is?! Backstabbing his friend for his love." Haider cursed him under his breath.

"So listen,We are going to a restaurant in the evening and I'll cut my cake there. That's it." Anika concluded, Haider bobbed his head up and down agreeing to her, she smiled and pulled his cheeks.

"Good boy Haider." she exclaimed while others burst out into fits off laughter.

"Okay Princess, now you sit down for a while after that we will go to the temple." Tej instructed and left, Anika smiled while others except Shivaay went towards the garden.

"We will be waiting for you guys. Come quickly." Haider said leaving at the last and winked at Shivaay. Anika smiled and pulled Shivaay along to her room.

"So where is my gift Shivaay?" Anika asked while locking the door, Shivaay looked clueless at her question.

"Yesterday I proposed you right?!" he exclaimed being dumbfounded, she chuckled silently and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Was that a gift? You just told me your feelings that's it." she explained, he looked at her who was trying hard not to laugh.

"Anika, actually.. I." he stammered but was cut of by anika.

"No need shivaay, I was kidding, I just wanted to tease you that's it." she spit out seeing his helplessness. He looked at her walked towards her while she walked back wards.

"So you were kidding me right?" he asked while she looked at him and hummed, he smiled at the effect he created on her.

"Shivaay, What are you doing?" Anika stammered as he was coming closer to her, he shrugged his shoulders and immediately pinned her to the wall.

"Happy Birthday, My love" he whispered letting his breath fan on her ears and his lips touching her ears and kissed her cheek, she blushed at the proximity and looked at him through her long eye lashes.

"Anika come out quickly, we are waiting for you in the garden." Jhanvi yelled from the other side of the door to which Shivaay and Anika sprang a part, she sighed and pushed him out closing the door.
