Anika was shocked when he suddenly held up in his arms when she was struggling to get a night of sleep. As for the past three days, she was trying to build a conversation with him. But he least cared. He keeps on ignoring her, and now out of a sudden, he scooped her from the couch to the bed.

"Shivaay, I am fine with the couch!" She tried to stop him, but he didn't listen instead he dropped her carefully in the bed and joined her next to her.

"Shivaay, the bed is too small for two people! Let me sleep on the couch, please. You need to rest." Anika said, but he pulled her to his chest and make her bury her head on his neck crook. Even she was happy with the situation, she was eventually confused with his actions. He didn't speak but ran his palms all over her back. A huge lump formed in her throat because of his actions. For some reason, she didn't feel it as normal. She jerked a little when he placed his hand on her back and through it inside the fabric of her kurthi.

"Shivaay... Are you fine?" She asked him with utmost effort resisting his touch all over her body.

"Nothing will happen to you... Until I am here..." She heard his words like a whisper soon he held her tight and placed a tight kiss on her forehead. She wanted to cry in happiness hearing those words. How on the earth this person still loves her beyond limits?

She had no idea when she falls asleep in his comfort, it was a beautiful night, even she was confused with his actions, She, holding him tight, felt complete. And she had no idea, how he will feel when he knows about the fact that created a human together. But she wanted him to get alright first.

Her body jerked when he through her arms away from his body and rushed inside a washroom. She was confused, he behaved like she was one who willingly came up to his bed and joined him. More than getting angry, she was shocked by his actions. As far she knew him, he won't behave like this. She expected him to be silent, but he was acting the opposite. She walked up to the washroom and knocked on the door.

"Shivaay..." She called him. But there was no response, inside she heard a breaking sound from inside. She stopped calling him in fear and waited till he opens the door. But he didn't open the door for the next thirty minutes, before she could expect anything bad, he opened the door, freshly showered with the hospital clothes. His face still has that rage that confused her more. Did he even remember what happened last night?

He sat up on the bed with a purpose to avoid her completely. While then, the doctor arrived for the morning check. She heard his voice again. "By when I will get discharged? I can't stay here for a lifetime!" His words were harsh, the doctor paused for a while and then composed herself for the reply.

"Your condition is improving, Mr. Oberoi, You can discharge anytime now." The doctor informed him. Anika knew this information already; she was the one to extend his stay in the hospital for taking care of him.

"Please prepare everything for my discharge, I can't stay here anytime longer." He informed the duty doctor; she nodded to him and made her way outside.

"Where's my phone?" He asked coldly as soon as the doctor left.

"We didn't get your phone here. If you want to make calls, call from my phone." Anika said and forwarded her phone to him. He didn't turn towards her completely but jerked the phone from her hand and dialed a number.

"It's me, Shivaay. How's everything going?" He asked over the phone, Anika was confused.

"Okay, I am in the hospital. I got admitted due to some health issues, I am going to discharge today," He informed.

"Yes, will be there in Kolkata by tomorrow. Send me the details, no, not on this number. First, please arrange for a phone and I want it delivered to Lifeline hospital, ward number 103, do it faster!" He informed him and took the seat calmly on the bed. Anika couldn't figure out what was happening until she found her mother-in-law next to her who was equally shocked hearing from him.

"Are you going back? Too soon?" Jhanvi asked him out of a sudden.

He didn't reply for a while and turned back to Anika's side to give her phone back. While then, she noticed the wallpaper, she had her daughter's picture in it. Her heart speeded up but he didn't ask her anything related to it.

"Thanks." He whispered and turned to his mom.

"Yes, I am going back. I have tons of work to do, also I think you should also take a rest from babysitting me for the past three days and night." He said in his rudest tone, for a while, she saw the untamed version of shivaay who threatened her before losing his two teeth in the process of taming. He was too rude to his mom. But she stayed silent.

"Actually, you both." His eyes glanced at her figure before taking those words.

"You're really out of your mind, seriously. You think I will let you go." Jhanvi asked him while she stayed silent looking at him.

"Out of my mind!" He laughed.

"Yes, I am out of my mind, I agree, let me be me..." He said looking at her. Those words held so many meanings, in these 3 days spent with jhanvi, she found out in which situation he decided to give up on cricket and concentrate on business to please his father. And how he blamed her for losing himself to someone who didn't deserve it. Jhanvi couldn't speak anything after he said those words.

"You're saying she should stay silent even if you decide to end your life?" Anika asked him. This time, his fierce eyes focused him.

"First of all, who are you to ask this question?" Shivaay asked her.

"Your wife, of course." She replied to him. He started to clap.

"Wow, you remember it, thanks." He said with a rage in his eyes.

"If you remember it, you should have remembered this too, I ASKED YOU NOT TO SHOW YOUR FACE EVER BEFORE ME." He said, her heart hardened when she recalled those words again.

"Sorry I forgot that I don't know when you said that I won't keep up on something which I don't remember." She said to him directly replying to his cold nature. It was not because he hurted her, but because she could tolerate the humiliation that her mother-in-law facing because of him. He stayed silent for a while.

"It's decided mom, we are going with him," Anika said to Jhanvi, looking straight into his eyes.

"I am not taking anyone with me." He said abruptly.

"He still thinks of us as a kid, mom." Anika laughed looking at Jhanvi who stayed silent. "Even you wish or not, shivaay. I am going with you. It's high time, now." Anika said those words.

Shivaay was back in his usual attire when every discharging procedure was done from Manager's hand. He was shaken to know about his confusion, but he managed to reach the hospital in the next 5 hours and took care of everything.

"Khanna, everything is done?" He asked him in his usual stern tone.

"Yes, sir. But need your signatures, here." He proceeded with the documents of bills. Shivaay signed. And his eyes fall on Anika who stood close to him in her black kurthi and blue jeans with her hair tied to the ponytail. But he least responded to her.

"Everything arranged?" He asked Khanna about the arrangements.

"Yes, Sir, But I have arranged only for you." He said in a low tone when her fierce vision fell on his manager. He turned towards her and looked at his manager.

"Only I am traveling." He said and his neck prickled in his back as her fierce rays fell on his neck.

"If you think, I won't be able to find you after you are gone! You are wrong!" She said to him as soon as Khanna left the room. Till last night, she was very patient with him, just tried a normal conversation with him but now, it was full of fierce, first, she joined him in his bed without asking his permission now, behaving like nothing bigger happened with them.

"Do whatever you want, I don't give a damn" he said and took his blazer to leave. And he made it, he left without turning back. And he felt heartache as soon as he entered his car. He was fed up with these emotions, he doesn't want her as much as he wanted her right now.

"Khanna. Anika has your number. If she calls you and asks about my details..." He was stopped when he heard Khanna's reply.

"I won't give any information to her, sir." He said.

"No, give her every information she needs," Shivaay replied out of sudden.

"Okay, sir," Khanna whispered.

"With my harsh words with her, don't misunderstand anything. Give her due respect! She's, my wife." He informed Khanna. Khanna didn't say anything for a while but nodded to his decision. Taking his phone, he checked for the availability of flights from Mumbai to Kolkata, thankful, tickets are available for her to travel, rest is her wish.

"So, you have decided!" Jhanvi asked Anika who was playing with her two-year-old daughter in the hotel room while Catherine helped her to pack the bags.

"Yes, mom," Anika said and took Aishi in her lap and showered her with kisses as she missed her daughter to the core in these 3 days, she was spending with shivaay. When she was away, Jhanvi and Catherine took care of her, but she cried looking at her mom when as soon as she saw her after 3 days.

"Aishi can make up without you?" Jhanvi asked. Anika was taken aback by her question, but she was determined, she can't leave him alone.

"It will be mostly for 3 days maximum, Maa. In these 3 days, I will find the right time to tell him about Aishi. We can't hide it from him longer. After that, even he wishes it or not, we will stay with him." Anika told it to her. She was saying it to herself. Even though she said it in words, Anika didn't know how she was going to make it without her daughter.

"Take care of her, and she's allergic to everything shivaay allergic to," Anika said to her.

"I guess it. She's his twin, I can't see your features in her." Jhanvi said.

"That's what driving me in these 3 years," Anika said and gave Aishi to Jhanvi. Soon she came back to Anika while widening her arms pouting sadly at her.

"Don't go, Mumma." She said in her little voice which provoked the tears in her.

"I promise you, baby, it won't be a long time. Daddy and I will pick you both in a few days, till then, don't trouble Cathy and Dadi." Anika said and kissed her daughter. And got ready to leave putting her daughter to sleep, because she knew she won't let her go when she was awake.

"Anika. Be safe..." Catherine said when she got into the car.

"I will. You too, Aunty." Anika said while kissing her palms.

"Bye," Anika waved to Jhanvi who had sleeping Aishi in her arms.
