Shivaay and Anika were drinking coffee while sitting in the garden when they heard Aadi's enthusiastic voice.

Aa- Mumma! Dadda!

Anika and Shivaay turned to look at Aadi, who was covered in mud.

Aadi rushed towards Anika and Hugged her legs.

Anika smiled and pecked his head. Anika held Aadi's arms and sat on her knees.

A- Baby, how did you get covered in mud?

Aadi looked down at his clothes, which were covered in mud.

Aa- Becaushe I wash getting thish fol you, mumma.

Aadi gave a rose which was mixture of white and red to Anika.

Anika and Shivaay both were stunned with the beauty of that simple rose.

A- Baby, where did you get this?

Aa- In the palk, mumma.

Aadi said while giving her a sheepish smile. Anika took the rose from him and kissed his cheek.

A- It's so beautiful, baby. I love this. Thank you.

Anika said and Aadi blushed which made Shivaay and Anika chuckle at his cuteness.

A- Now, come on, little champ. I'll give you a bath then we will preserve this rose so it can always look beautiful like this and stay with me forever.

Aadi's eyes widened in excitement.

Aa- Leally, Mumma.

Anika smiled and picked him up in her arms and pecked his cheek.

A- Yes baby. Now let's go.

They went inside the house.

Shivaay was just Smiling, looking at their retreating figure. He felt that Anika was the answer for all his unsaid prayers and she was the missing piece of their puzzle.

T- You made a good choice.

Shivaay looked at Tej, who was also looking at Anika and Aadi.

S- Hmm. She loves Aadi very much.

T- Aadi couldn't have had a better mother than her. She's perfect for him. And for you.

At the last word, Shivaay looked at Tej in surprise. Ten just patted his shoulder with a smile.

T- Trust me. She's perfect for you too. Give yourself a chance to fall in love.

Tej patted his back and left from there while Shivaay was lost in his thoughts.

Here, Anika made Aadi sit on the washbasin and removed his muddy t-shirt.

Aa- Mumma, my fliends shay that I don't habe a mumma and I feel shad. Bill you come to my shchool tomollow?

Anika felt sad for him. How can kids ne so cruel to each other?

A- of course, baby. I would love to drop my little champ to school.

Aadi squealed happily and Anika pecked his cheek.

Anika then put him in the bathtub, which was filled with bubbles and foam.

He splashed some water at Anika and Anika splashed some water at him.

They both laughed together.

Aa- Mumma, look I'm a monshtel (monster).

Aadi said while covering himself in foam and Anika acted as if she was scared. Aadi burst into laughter.

Aa- but Monshtel lobes Mumma.

Aadi said while kissing Anika's cheek and Anika smiled.

A- Mumma loves monster too.

Soon, they were done with Aadi's bath and Anika made him wear his clothes.

A- Now, go and play with your dadda. And I'll get changed.

Aadi nodded his head and ran outside the washroom.

Anika went to the walk-in wardrobe and changed into another Saree.

Anika went to the bedroom and saw Shivaay playing leggos with Aadi.

Aadi looked at anika and ran towards her.

Aa- Mumma!

A- Yes, little champ.

Aa- Mumma, can we go and pleshelve that lose.

A- Of course, my baby.

Aadi turned to look at Shivaay.

Aa- Dadda, come with ush, na.

S- Sure, champ. Let's go.

They walked towards Living room and Anika brought all the stuff when she used to do resin art in village.

All of them sat on the floor in front of the table and Anika kept all the stuff on the table.

A- Let's start.

Anika kept the rose in the mould and mixed resin in a cup and then She poured the resin in the mould.

Shivaay and Aadi were looking at Anika very keenly.

A- Now we will let it set for a while.

S- Wow! When did you learn this?

A- Back at home, I used to do it often but after marriage, my hobby vanished amongst all the responsibilities.

Anika said sadly and Shivaay nodded his head in understanding.

S- But now you can continue your hobby. I would love to see more pieces like this.

Shivaay said and Anika smiled.

Aa- Mumma, how mush mole time?

Aadi said impatiently and Shivika chuckled.

A- just few minutes more.

After almost 30 minutes, Anika removed the mould and kept rose piece on the table.

Aa- Wow! It ish sho beooootifulllllll, Mumma!

Aadi squealed in joy.

Anika and Shivaay chuckled at his excitement.

Anika and Shivaay bent down to peck Aadi's cheeks but he giggled and ran away with the rose and Shivika shared an eyelock.

Shivaay leaned a little towards Anika and she closed her eyes while Shivaay was eyeing her lips. But their moment was broken by Jhanvi.

J- What's this mess in my house?

Jhanvi exclaimed, annoyed by the 'mess' in her living room.

Anika and Shivaay were startled by her sudden voice and immediately stood up in their places.

A- Sorry, aunty.

Anika immediately started cleaning up the place and collected her stuff and Shivaay helped her too. Anika left with the stuff.

S- Mom, you need to calm down. Anika was doing some resin art with Aadi. It's not a big deal.

Jhanvi just rolled her eyes.

J- Whatever! NEETI.

Jhanvi called the maid and the maid immediately rushed towards her and took her bag and coat.

J- Prepare the dinner fast. Some guests are coming for dinner.

Neeti nodded her head and left.

S- May I ask who are these guests?

Shivaay asked her and Jhanvi looked at him with a poker face.

J- Of course, you would forget. Today, Dr.Ravish Singhaniya, Ragini's dad performed a major surgery and we decided to celebrate it here and it was about a month ago and you were present but i guess you forgot. So today the surgery went well and Dr. Singhaniya, jis wife and Ragini are coming for dinner. You have to be present at the dinner.

Shivaay just rolled his eyes and left from there.
