"Bhoujayi!" Gauri called out, entering onto Shivika's room. Anika faked a smile and nodded eyeing her baggage.

"Let's leave then!" Gauri chided and Anika agreed glancing at her mobile.

"Baggad Billa, He isn't even answering  my calls. How should I tell him?" She muttered pondering a bit, Gauri jerked her, breaking her trance.

"Bhabhi, Is it important for both of you to go?" Rudra sulked pulling up a puppy face, Aniri giggled pulling his cheeks.

"We will come back soon, Take care" Anika explained, hugging him and kissed his forehead.

"Take care, Bhabhis" Bhavya chirped sharing a hug with them.

"Guys, Hurry up!" Om urged dragging them to the car, Gauri shook her head in disbelief while Anika chuckled.

"OK Gauri, Take care of yourself and Ani, please bear her tantrums for this week!" Om babbled, driving the car much to Gauri's irritation.

"Oye Jatadhari Hippe, I know to take care of myself. Now stop your ranting!" Gauri shrieked and her pregnancy hormones are to be blamed.

"Ok, Baby!" Om obliged innocently and Anika burst out into guffaws of laughter.

Tapping the dial button on her mobile, Anika tried calling Shivaay again but today he was playing with her and little did he know, he is gonna suffer for this.

Reaching the Rathod mansion, Om parked the car and picked up the baggage.

"Mama!" Anika squealed entering into the mansion. Jhanvi smiled and was about to receive them when Anika engulfed her in a hearty hug.

"I missed you so much!" She claimed, sobbing a bit in her mother's embrace. Jhanvi smiled and kissed her forehead.

"I missed you too, Anika." Jhanvi replied and tears glistened in her eyes too. Extending her hand, She pulled Gauri into the hug too.

"How are you both?" Jhanvi asked cupping their cheeks, Anika smiled nodding in agreement.

"We are all good, Mom!" Gauri replied kissing Jhanvi's cheek.

"Papa!" Anika squealed hugging Tej tightly, Tej smiled and kissed her forehead.

"How are you, Princess?" Tej asked, caressing her face. Anika sniffed pulling away from the hug.

"When your favourite Son-in-law is with me, I will never have any complaints dad." Anika replied proudly, smiling sheepishly. Tej smiled, nodding in acknowledgement.

Pampering their daughters for some time, They bid bye to Om as he needs to meet an Artist.

"Why didn't Shivaay come with you, Beta?" Tej asked caressing her hair as Anika snuggled in to her father's embrace.

"He is having an important meeting, Dad so couldn't make it out." Anika lied, looking everywhere but her Mom and Gauri, who felt it fishy.

As the day passed, Shivaay enjoyed teasing his Junglee Billi, ignoring her calls. He thought, later he would make it up for her with a sorry.

He grinned like a chiseled cat when the 70 missed calls from his wife grabbed his attention.

"Punishment, baby!" He whispered, smirking to himself.

Anika glanced at the clock and sighed as it was ticking towards 9:00. She knew, she might get a phone call in any minute as he would return back home now.

Shivaay smiled sheepishly, entering into the Oberoi Mansion. Ignoring Rudra, He sat down beside Bhavya on the couch looking around for Anika.

"Hi Bade bhaiya!" Bhavya greeted, watching the Television. Shivaay smiled and greeted her back.

"Where is Gauri?" He asked although his eyes were searching for his wife, who was no where visible.

"Don't you know Bhaiya, Gauri bhabhi went to Jhanvi aunty's house." Bhavya cleared and Shivaay smacked his head, lightly.

"Oops, I forgot. Anika told me in the morning." Shivaay said, standing up  on his feet.

"Might be in our room." He muttered under his breath, walking upstairs excusing himself for a minute.

Opening the room door, He peeped inside but couldn't find any glimpse of her. Entering into the room, he knocked the washroom door to find it empty.

"Where is She?" He thought, hurrying downstairs.

"Bhavya, Where is Anika?" He asked.

"Bhaiya, Anika bhabhi is with Gauri bhabhi." Bhavya replied nonchalantly.

"What?" Shivaay screamed unable to decipher anything.

"My Anika bhabhi went to her house for a week." Rudra dropped the bomb and Shivaay's eyes widened.

"Fhat the wuck! How could she leave without informing me?" He pep talked to himself, dialing her number on the keypad.

"Time to payback, Honey!" Anika mumbled seeing the caller Id as her phone started buzzing and royally ignored the calls.

"Why isn't she answering the calls?" He thought, calling her again.

She grinned, laughing at her impatient husband.

"How dare you? Now suffer, Hubby" She spoke kissing the caller Id.

"Pick up the call, Damn it!" He muttered in frustration and now he is regretting for not picking up her calls.

"Sorry, babe. Just pick up the call, please." He chanted, calling her again and again.

Pacing in his room angrily, He thought of other ways to approach her. Dialing Gauri's number, he put the phone to his ear.

"Hello Bade bhaiya!" He heard Gauri's voice from the other side. Sighing, he greeted back.

"Gauri, Is Anika there?" He asked, confusing her. Scratching her head, she agreed.

"But Bhaiya, Bhoujayi is in her room." She added annoying him.

"Can you give the phone to her, I need to talk to her!" He said pressing his lips in a thine line.

Walking to Anika's room, She opened the door to find Anika laughing silently.

"Bhoujayi, Bade.. " Gauri started and Anika hushed her immediately.

"Tell him that I'm sleeping." Anika whispered and unfortunately, he heard it.

"Anika!" He yelled from the other side scaring Gauri, She flinched at his tone and handed over the mobile to Anika, sweating badly, poor soul.

"Bye, Honey." Anika said sarcastically, hanging the call without even listening to the other side.
