"Anika, come let's go!" Shivaay said, glancing at his wrist watch confusing Anika.

"Where?" Anika asked, winding up her stuff.

"Isn't it obvious? Of course Oberoi Mansion." Shivaay replied nonchalantly, tapping his feet furiously on the ground. He can't wait more, to take her in his embrace and snuggle.

"But Shivaay, if you remember, I need to go to Rathod mansion." Anika reminded him and the reality stuck him.

"No, you can't do this with me." He cribbed. Smiling, she circled her hands around his neck, drawing him closer.

"Just four more days, Shivaay." She said, pouting a bit. He shook his head frantically, snaking his hands around her waist.

"No, you are not going anywhere! Please, babe." He denied, stubbornly,  hugging her tightly while she smacked his shoulder.

"Papa's wish!" She revealed because she know that he can never deny her dad's wish.

"Babe!" He sulked, pulling away from the hug and she frowned at dissipate of his warmth.

"Another way?" He asked, eyes filled with hope and she nodded in no.

"If you want, you can stay at our Mansion." Anika suggested and shivaay denied it.

"Ok atleast, drop me back home. Pretty please!" She pestered and he nodded in melancholy.

"No need to ask baby, I'll drop you anyhow." He claimed looking every where but her.

"I'm sorry." She whispered, kissing his cheek, he faked a smile and walked away.

Sitting down in the driver seat, He honked waiting for her. She sat down in the passenger seat, beside him. Resting her head on his shoulder, she played with the hem of his shirt while he started driving the car.

"Shivaay." She called out and he hummed in response, in a daze.

"Are you angry?" She asked, gazing up at his face. He smiled and nodded, kissing her forehead.

"I'm not angry, I'm sad but I have an idea!" He uttered with a mischievous smile, playing on his lips. She cocked her eyebrow at the naughty look on his face.

"How about I sneaking into your room in the midnight and leaving early in the morning?" He blurted out, drawing a smile from her.

"Will you do it, Really?" She asked with a teasing smile playing on her lips to which he agreed instantly and she nodded, negatively.

"Fine!" He muttered with a grumpy face. She giggled and pressed her lips on his cheeks, drawing a smile from him.

"But on one condition!" He stated and she agreed without any second thought.

"Won't you ask, what is it?" He asked cocking his eyebrow.

"Whatever it is, I'll do it for you!" She claimed, snuggling into his warmth.

Kissing her forehead, he leaned closer to her ears making sure that his lips are caressing her ear shell. 

"You are gonna wear the black bathrobe again in our room." He spilled out, whispering in his famous husky tone, outlining her ear shell with his lips.

She shivered at his voice and clutched his collar tightly, crumpling it. He smiled and kisses her earlobe.

"Ok but first concentrate on your driving." She warned him, blushing hard at his piercing intense gaze on her.

"I can't." He uttered, his eyes not leaving her face making her cheeks turn into the darker shade of hue.

She smacked his shoulder, looking away. He smiled and looked ahead, concentrating on his driving.

"I love you!" She cooed, snuggling into his warmth and a smile crept on his lips.

"I love you too." He replied kissing her forehead. Gauging her face, He knew she was drowsy, so, he petted her hair lulling her to sleep.

She can atleast sleep a bit even if she couldn't sleep at night. He smiled and tucked her soft hair locks behind her ear, dropping a kiss on her temple.

As the car halted at Rathod mansion, He gazed at her who was sleeping peacefully in his embrace. Deciding  not to disturb her, he got down the car slowly and jogged to her side, picking up her in his arms.

"What happened to her?" He was surrounded by Jhanvi and Tej. Hushing them down, he walked upstairs to her room and laid her down on the bed.

"Sleep well!" He whispered, pecking her lips which made her snuggle more in to his embrace. De tangling himself, he sighed.

"I'll miss you!" He mumbled and kissed her temple, walking away from the room.

"I'm sorry mom, She was sleeping and I ought to not disturb her." He reasoned to Jhanvi. Jhanvi smiled and hugged him.

"How are you?" She asked, cupping his face. Shivaay nodded and smiled replying her that he is all fine.

"Shivaay, stay here tonight!" Tej ordered all of the sudden confusing the duo.

"But dad... " Shivaay was interrupted by Tej. "Please Shivaay for me atleast." Tej tried convincing him and shivaay agreed after a bit thinking.

"Had your dinner?" Tej asked patting his shoulder.

"Yeah dad! We just had before coming here." Shivaay answered with a smile while resting his head on Jhanvi's shoulder.

"Tired?" Jhanvi asked threading her fingers through his thick locks, caressing them.

"Yeah, mom." Shivaay replied, Tej smile and looked at the duo. Shivaay indeed feels motherly love from Jhanvi, always.

He ordered his Son-in-law to stay back because he knew both his son-in-law and daughter cannot stay without eachother and he suspected that this might be the reason behind Anika's weird behavior.

"Ok then, Go and sleep. We will talk in the morning." Tej said, Shivaay smiled and loosened his tie wishing them a good night.

Finally, he could have a peaceful sleep tonight. Removing his blazer, tie and shirt, he looked at her who was still in her office attire.

Grabbing some comfortable clothes from her wardrobe, he made her wear them making sure he didn't disturb her sleep.

Sliding under the comforter, he  pulled her into his embrace while she cocooned herself in his embrace, sinking into his warmth.

Kissing her forehead, he smiled and it was a genuine one after all having her in his arms is the biggest achievement of his life. Feeling her tenderness, he dozed of to sleep.
