"Ye to mahal hai aapka(This is like a palace)" Anika commented as they were about to enter Oberoi Mansion.

"Dekho, they don't know ki tum kaha belong karti ho, so maintain that" Shivaay said the final instruction and opened the door only to reveal the entire family in the living room. Anika is stunned by the interiors.

All of them rushed towards the duo except for the head of the family, Shivaay's grandmother.

The servants took their luggage. Pinky immediately hugged Anika and she hugged her back. She missed this motherly feeling since childhood.

"Haaye kitni khubsurat hai(She is so pretty)" she broke the hug and commented.

"Namaste Pinky Aunty" Anika said. Shivaay made her memorise all his family members.

Jhanvi too hugged both of them.

"I am glad you are here" she said.

"Kya Bhaiya? Chuparustam nikle" Rudy said raising his brows and smirking at the same time.

"I am Rudy, naam to suna hoga"(I am Rudy, you must have heard my name) he forwarded his hand and Anika shook it.

"Ovyo, Shivaay kaafi baate karte hai tumhari(Ovyo, Shivaay loves to talk about you guys)" Shivaay nudged her shoulder.

"Mujhe to bata hi sakta tha(You could have told me)" O said to Shivaay.

"Welcome Shivaay" Om said and smiled.

"Bhaiya, ek pal ke liye mujhe laga ki aap nahi aayenge(Brother, for once I thought you might not come)" Priyanka said

"Prinku, teri shaadi miss nahi karunga(Prinku, why will I miss your wedding)" Shivaay hugged his little sister.

"Hello Anika di" Prinku said.

"Hi and congratulations for your marriage" Anika replied.

"Shakti aur Tej office me hai." Jhanvi said

"Dadi?" Shivaay moved towards her who was sitting with no expression.

Anika took her blessings and she smiled.

"Kinni sohni hai. Nazar na lage(Beautiful!)" and kissed her forehead.

"Dadi baat karo na mujhse(Grandma, please talk to me)" Shivaay made an attempt.

"Nahi karni, tujhe apne alawa kuch dikhayi nahi deta khote. Fark hi nahi padta family yaha hai. Selfish(I dont want to. You dont even care about anyone and leave alone without us)" Dadi was angry but then Shivaay hugged her.

"I missed you so much" and dadi melted.

"Tujhe pata bhi hai iss umar me pote se dur rehna kitna mushkil hai(You know how difficult it is to stay away from grandson at this age)" she had tears in her eyes.

"Ab mai aa gaya hun na(I am here now)" Shivaay said and broke the hug.

"Chal ab Anika ke baare me bata(Now say about Anika)" Pinky sat beside Anika.

"Isne tumhare naam ke alawa aur kuch nahi bataya(He didnt say anything about you except for your name)" she said.

"Aise hi hai ye, pet me baat daba ke rakhna jaante hai. Maine kitni baar kaha ki bata dijiye par inko surprise dena tha(He is like this only, knows well to hide inside. I have also told him to tell you all but he wanted to give you a surprise)" Anika blabbered only to earn a glare from Shivaay.

"Mile kaha the tumdono?(Where did you guys meet?)"

"Kab realise hua ki pyaar hua?(When did you realise you guys fell in love?)"

"Kisne pehle propose kiya?(Who proposed first?)"

She was showered with all these questions by everyone.

"Bas bhi karo, dono itna lamba safar karke aaye hai thoda araam do baccho ko(Oh shut up everyone. They are tired because of the journey. Let them rest)" Dadi said.

Soon they were in Shivaay's room where she saw her luggage too.

"Mera room kaha hai?(Where is my room?)" Anika asked.

"Actually, meri family ko koi problem nahi hai humare same room me rehne me(Actually, my family has no issues in us living in the same room)" Shivaay broke this news out but Anika didn't freak out much to his surprise.

"Tumhe problem nahi hai? Dekho if you don't feel comfortable..." he asked.

"Nahi nahi. Room bada hai aur sofa bhi comfortable dikh rahi hai(No no, the room is big enough and sofa looks comfortable)" Anika said.

"You are my guest, I won't allow you to sleep on the sofa"

Anika chuckled,

"Kisne bola mai sone wali hun(Who told you I will be sleeping?)" she muttered and Shivaay's eyes widened.

"You mean me? Mai apne room me sofe pe sounga? Wow" he clapped twice.

"To aur kaun? Mehmaanawazi(then who else? I am your guest)" Anika reminded

"Whatever fine. Aur niche kya bol rahi thi? Meri burai?"

"Real to lagna chahiye na, they should feel ki hum ek dusre ko pehle se jaante hai. Got it?(It should look real and they should feel we know each other from long)"

"Jo thik lage yaar. " he was pissed off.

"Aapke phone me humari photos to hai hi nahi?(You dont have our photos in your phone?)" Anika reminded him.

"So what? I am not photogenic anyways." He said lightly.

She snatched his phone and opened the camera.

"Cheese" she said but he wasn't smiling.

"Arey yaar, has dijiye na" she posed and he too joined.

"Ise wallpaper rakh lijiye. Mai fresh hoti hun(Set this as your wallpaper. I am going to get fresh)" she opened her luggage and took out a kurti and denim. Surprisingly, Shivaay had sent a lady to take her out for shopping before coming to his family. Now, all she has is expensive clothes.

"Ye phat gaye na to I cant do anything. Paise mat mangiyega(If the clothes get damaged, dont ask me for money)" she said before dashing inside the bathroom.

"What the hell" he sighed in disbelief.

THE FAMILY MEMBERS SEEM TO LOVE ANIKA BUT THEY ARE YET TO FACE EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY OMRU.
