The next day in Anika's office, Shivaay, Haider and mallika were present in her Anika's cabin.

"Actually I think that you need to give Anika a chance to prove herself." Shivaay said to Haider while Haider smiled

"Anika you could have told me that you were interested in Event managing, I could have spoken to uncle" Haider said while Anika smiled.

"Its ok now leave all this, however we still did not find a wedding planner for our wedding, so let's give it to Anika itself. What say Haider?" Mallika raised her eyebrows at him while he nodded.

"But will Dad help you in sponsoring all this?" Mallika asked while shivaay replied, "Not her Dad, I'm going to be with her and help her." he said making Mallika's eyes go wide and Haider smiled knowing the situation.

"You? I mean you are helping Anika." mallika said giving a disbelief look to which he smiled and nodded.

"Fine guys now we need to talk to Uncle let's go." Haider said and everyone headed to Tej cabin.

As they entered the cabin, Tej smiled "What makes your clan come here at morning hours?" tej asked while everyone smiled sheepishly settling down.

"Dad, he is Shivaay.  Shivaay singh Oberoi, the one who we are working on the A'S project." Anika introduced Shivaay and Tej smiled.

"Hi Mr. Oberoi nice to meet you man. I heard a lot about you." Tej greeted and held his hand out for a shake hand, "Hello Mr. Rathod Nice to meet you too." he greeted back making it formal.

"Dad actually.. I.. Want to.. " Anika stammered while Mallika cut her off in between.

"Woh.. Dad you know that we planned for a Destination wedding in Goa right?" she asked him and he nodded.

"But we did not hire any wedding planner yet, so we are thinking.. Thinking, To give anika a chance, actually dad she wants to become a wedding planner so why can't she take up our wedding first and this would help her out in her carrier." she said in one go closing her eyes while tej was surprised.

Anika was nervously looking at the duo fidgeting with her fingers on her lap, Shivaay smiled at her cute face and rested his hands in hers calming her down.

"Relax everything will be fine." he whispered making her look at him and she nodded.

"Anika do you really want to take up this wedding?" tej asked with a stern voice while Anika nodded her eye sight fixed on the ground.

"Then you could have talked with me right Princess. I would help you." he said making Anika surprise.

"Yes dear, I never imposed our business on you right? Then you could have told me about your dreams, I would stand by you or you thought that I'm one of those fathers who don't agree to children's wishes?" he asked in a sad tone while Anika smiled and hugged him from behind.

"No Dad, you are the best. That's why I wanted to help you in business and No you're not one of those fathers because you have a beautiful princess like me dad." she kissed his cheeks making him smile, Shivaay smiled at them and winked at Anika giving a see-i-told-u-right look.

"Ok then Princess, do you want any help from my side?Then tell me" Tej said while Haider replied.

"No need uncle cause Shivaay is helping Anika in this and he is also coming with us to Goa" he said and winked at Shivaay which was unnoticed by others.

"What Mr. Oberoi?"Tej asked and shivaay nodded his head.

"Mr. Rathod please stop calling me, Mr. Oberoi, I'm younger than you sir please call me by my name Shivaay." Shivaay said earning a laugh from tej.  

"Ok Shivaay but on one condition you can call me uncle or papa like om calls me and why are you thinking to help my Princess. I mean my daughter?" tej asked raising his eyebrow.

"Dad he is helping me cause he is my best friend. And he is also the one who gave me an idea to take up Haider and Mallika's wedding." she exclaimed with a spark in her eyes which was noticed by Tej and he looked towards Shivaay who was staring at her with a smile playing on his lips, he smiled at the duo understanding and nodded his head.

"Ok done princess." he said making her smile go wide.

"Ok then Dad we are leaving day after tomorrow but why are you not coming? yesterday jhanvi mom told me." Mallika asked with a disappointed look on her face.

"Sorry dear, as Shivaay is also helping anika I need to work on this project to with the other delegates but don't worry, both of you are gonna stay at our house after wedding at least for one week." he smiled at them and they nodded.

"And my Jhanu darling is staying back because of you uncle." haider teased him and Tej threw a pen him which he dogged.

"How many times I told you not to flirt with my Wife. Why can't you understand she is not of your age and she belongs to me only me" he said in a pleading voice making everyone burst out in laughter.

"Uncle, should I tell my darling that your addressing her a old woman like you?" he asked with a smirk on his face and tej looked shocked at him.

"When did I say that?" tej asked while Haider chuckled and continued, "You told that she is not of my age than that means you are indirectly saying that she is an old woman." he stuck out his tongue at him and ran out of the cabin for his life.

Tej sighed, "stupid" he mumbled making everyone giggle.

"So dad, we are leaving then." Anika said and bid bye pulling mallika and shivaay towards the door but stopped when she heard tej.

"Shivaay stay back and both of you wait outside, I need to talk to shivaay." he said and they nodded leaving shivaay behind.

"So now tell me the reason Shivaay, Why are you helping my daughter?" he asked while shivaay looked here and there.

"Uncle she told you right. It's just because of friend ship." he stammered while tej smiled at him.

"Shivaay I'm a business man, I know what is going in between both of you. I didn't  miss out you staring at her, she smiling genuinely while talking about you, Haider winking at you. What's all this?" tej said placing a hand on shivaay's shoulder.

"Ok Uncle, to be Frank, I like Anika in fact I'm in love with her. I fell for her when I saw her for the first time, but I don't about Anika's feelings towards me" he spit it out and Tej smiled, hugging him.

"I support you for this my boy. I hope she likes you too." he winked at him and  shivaay smiled and left the cabin.

"What did papa talk to you?" anika asked and shivaay smiled at her,  "About the deal." he lied and she nodded.  Later, Shivaay dropped Anika home and then left to Oberoi mansion.
