Annika took a warm bath and changed into a simple top and knee-length pyjamas as no one was at home except them. Her mind was playing their moments while before. The way he touched her, his every touch was so protective and warm yet passionate that she found herself melting under his touch. His every kiss was telling her how much he adore and love her.

A beautiful blush formed on her cheeks and with a small smile, she walked downstairs. Thinking him to be in kitchen, she went to kitchen to see it empty. She turned to go out when she bumped with something hard. She looked up to see him standing there. Her blush was back.

"You should have rested na baby, I was coming with coffee", he said tucking her damp hair. She looked at him with a sweet smile.

"I am okay Shivaay, just little pain and sore, it will go gradually", she said. Shaking head, he picked up her from floor making her sit on the slab.

"Listen to me at least once! I can't feel your pain but I know it pains", he said kissing her forehead.

"You said so, that also means a lot", she said caressing his cheek to see a packet in his hand.

"What is it?", she asked pointing at the packet.

"We didn't used condom right nor you're on any contraceptives so I brought after pills for you. I know neither me nor you want a baby now. We've to first explore us", he said cupping her cheeks to which she hummed smiling and wrapped her arms around his torso.

"I love you", she muttered looking at him to which he leaned and kissed her nose.

"I love you too, now have them. I made some sandwiches and coffee for us", he said giving her the medicine strip and glass of water. She took the medicine and looked at him. He smiled smugly and pecked her lips for a while making her cheeks red.

"Shivaay", she whined pushing his chest lightly making him giggle and hum caressing her hair.

"Someone is so blushy now and was being all wild sometime ago. My back is the evidence", he whispered huskily in her ear to which she hide more in him.

"Just because I am not showing. It's not like I don't have marks", she said narrowing eyes.

"Oh you surely would have many", he said winking at him making her hit on his chest.

Just then his phone started ringing, parting from her he out his phone to see it from Om.

"Hello Om...yeah me and Annika are fine...you all are good?...oh okay I will tell Annika too...yup fine, take care", he kept the call talking with Om to see Annika looking at him curiously.

"What?", he asked keeping both his arms on her either shoulders.

"It was Om right? What he said that you'll tell me?", she asked curiously.

"The thing is, the relatives to whom family went, stopped everyone saying they've met after so long so they'll be returning by tomorrow night", he said playing with her hair.

"Oh! Okay", she said to which he hummed and kept his forehead on her forehead.

"Yes! Oh! So that means, that me and my missus is all alone till tomorrow", he said and dipped his face in her neck kissing her sweet spot making her hum a moan.

"Shivaay! I am famished!", she whined to which he chuckled kissing her jawline.

"Fine! Let's eat something, you need energy too", he said controlling his smile to which she hit on his arm again getting down from the slab.

"Hold this", he said giving her a tray with sandwiches and coffee. She took it confused but the next second found herself in air. She gasped seeing her in his arms.

"Shivaay.. What if coffee would have fell on me", she frowned at him.

"I would have given you another bath", he said winking making her cheeks turn pink and looked away making him giggle.

Taking them to their room, he moved to the balcony and sat down there with her in his lap. She kept the tray on table in front and looked at him who blinked at her.

"Shivaay...I was thinking something", she said playing with his shirt buttons. He hummed taking the plate from tray and forward the sandwich to her mouth.

"I was thinking to arrange a small bed kinda thing here in the balcony. Rain will start in someday and you know I love rain, so it would be fun", she said and ate from his hand.

"Your wish, love. I already said do whatever you want to do with this room", he said wiping the corner of her mouth. She smiled feeding him back pecking his stubble.

"It would be so cosy and romantic! Rain, you and us cuddling", she said with dreamy eyes making him chuckle and turn her taking in a back hug.

"I also have some romantic idea with it", he said creeping hands inside her t-shirt and started messaging her abdomen area. She leaned back to his shoulder.

"Wh..what?", she asked feeling relaxed in his arms. He was peppering soft kisses on her hair and temple.

"You know, me, you, the romantic weather, rain and us making the environment hot", he said nuzzling nose in her cheek making her gasp and she hit on his arm blushing.

"Chii cheapde! You're always on one track. Here I am talking romantic and you...", she said with a frown, blushing.

"That's also romantic baby, different ways to see it", he said and gently tickled her tummy making her giggle.

"I know your way. Shiv, remember before our marriage you promised that you'll teach me cooking and we can cook together. Let's do it today", she said making him frown.

"Baby tomorrow, you better relax today. Please? I promise we'll cook a three meals together tomorrow", he said to which she pouted. He pecked her pout muttering please.

"Fine! But tomorrow we're cooking together", she said pointing finger at him to which he nodded chuckling.

"Promise! Now my lady, let's move to room. I've asked the cook to prepare dinner. It's not raining but we can make moment cosy now also", he said rubbing nose with her nose making her giggle and nod.

Picking up her again, he walked inside the room and made her lay down. Joining her, he pulled her closer to him kissing her head. She kept her head on his chest pecking near his heart.

"Shivaay, why do you take so many medicines? I never got chance to ask you", she asked with closed eyes snuggling to his chest.

"I am allergic to quite few things baby, like you can say from dirt, hair of dogs, yellow tulips and few more things. But these medicines I don't take regularly, only when needed", he said kissing her hair.

"Such a baby I have I see", she teased giggling making him frown.

"It's nothing such okay, I am just allergic", he said pouting making her go awe and she pulled his cheeks kissing them tightly.

"You're so cute Shivaay", she said giggling making him frown. In a swift, he hovered her pinning her under him. She gasped and looked at him who was passing a mischievous look at her.

"Baby should I show I am cute or...hot?", he asked and dipped his head in her neck and rubbed his nose on the hickey there and sucked it making her moan softly.

"Shivaay.. What are you doing", she said clutching his shoulders biting her lower lip as he continued sucking her neck making her breath unevenly.

"I didn't even start anything yet Annie", he said kissing her nape and rubbed his stubble on her neck making her giggle.

"You're very naughty", she said giggling. He smiled against her neck wrapping arms around her.

"You've to go hospital tomorrow?", he asked nuzzling in her neck playing with her hair.

"Nope, I am free, there's no appointments tomorrow. You will be going?", she asked to which he hummed sadly.

"There's an important meeting, my presence is required else I would have not gone", he said raising his head with a pout. She gently pecked his lips.

"It's okay Shivaay.. Come soon, I will be waiting for you. Okay?", she said cutely to which he nodded giggling and kissed her lips. She slowly responded kissing him back. Parting, he kissed her head.

"I will freshen up and come. Then we'll have dinner", he said softly pecking her eyes who hummed smiling.

He went to freshen up while she went downstairs to check for dinner. After freshening up, he went downstairs to see her arranging dinner on dining area talking to one of helper. Seeing Shivaay, the helper went from there. She turned to him smiling.

"Come", she said smiling and he sat down. Serving for him and herself, she sat down beside her. He looked at her all the while keeping palm under his chin.

"Why are you looking at me like that?", she asked confused to which he shook his head and shrugged.

"You're beautiful", he said making her blush and look down at her food asking him to have his food. He chuckled and started having his dinner.

After dinner, both went back to their room and slept cuddling and talking with each other.

•~•~•

Next morning, he got up bit early to see annika sleeping cuddling with him having an adorable pout. Pecking her lips, he snuggled her more in her who had a soft smile now.

"Good morning baby", he whispered her who hummed in response snuggling more in her. He giggled pecking her cheeks.

"Wake up my sleeping queen! It's morning", he mumbled nuzzling to her neck. She whined.

"Morning happens everyday, let me sleep", she mumbles while he chuckled and started pecking her lips again and again.

Her cheeks started turning pink and she opened her eyes.

"Shivaay you never let me sleep", she complained looking at him with a pout.

"Hawh! I let you sleep at night yesterday, even after finding you so tempting", he said nuzzling to her skin making her eyes widen and she pushed him blushing.

"Aap bhi na Shiv! Accha listen, go freshen up, you need to leave soon na. I will choose your suit for today", she said to which he wrapped arms around around her and pulled her closer. He dipped head in her chest snuggling there making her blush.

"Shiv–", she stopped as he kept finger on her lips and kissed her mangalsutra.

"I don't wanna go", he pouted raising his head. She smiled and pushing his hair back from his forehead and kissed there.

"Just for some hour, then come back to me, we'll cuddle like this", she said and giggled pecking his nose. He sighed and nodded getting up from her and went to take shower.

She went inside the closet and started choosing his clothes for the day. She took out a yellow saree which he once told her that he love it on her.

She was humming a tune taking out her saree when she felt arms around her which slowly went inside her shirt. She shivered feeling his cold hands on her warm skin.

"What is wifey doing?", he asked kissing her shoulder.

"Wifey is taking out her saree for today and your clothes are taken out so hubby, go and dress up", she said turning in his arms and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Help me then", he said to which she slapped lightly on his chest.

"Go and dress up Shiv, I have to make breakfast for you. You'll get late", she said moving away to her bangles taking out matching with her saree.

"Why you? Cook is there right", he said getting dress up. She moved to him and started buttoning his shirt.

"Actually no one is at home except us. They wanted leave for today so I gave. Anyways its just two of us na", she said shrugging and buttoned his cufflinks. He nodded humming.

"You get ready fast, I will go and prepare breakfast for you", she said smiling and left kissing his cheek. He smiled touching his cheek and started getting ready.

•~•~•

Shivaay came down getting ready and was talking on a call. He walked to dining area to see her arranging breakfast for him. He went from behind and kissed her cheek surprising her. Chuckling, she made him sit and started serving him and sat down beside him.

"Hmm.. I will get you about the deal. You can contact to my assistant", he kept the call and looked at her who was looking at him.

"Where is your breakfast?", he asked sipping his coffee.

"I will have after taking bath. You have fast and then leave, you'll get late", she said applying peanut butter on the toast and brought to his mouth. He ate it shaking head.

"You know, you behave like a mother some times", he said eating.

"When husband is like a naughty kid na, wife has to become mother", she said making him narrow his eyes.

Having the breakfast, he got up buttoning his coat and cupped her face softly kissing her lips.

"Take care of yourself, khanna and security will be at home only so if you want anything, tell them or call me. Don't tire yourself without any reason and haan most important..", he said to which she looked at him nodding.

"I love you", he said kissing her forehead making her chuckle.

"I love you too patidev, now go! I will take care of myself. Promise", she said pinching her throat making him chuckle.

"Bye!", he said hugging her and placed a kiss on her hair soundly making her giggle and pecked his jawline.

"Bubye", she said and went with him till the main door and waved at him as he went.

As he went, she took shower and got ready. Having her breakfast, she was sitting reading a book when she got a knock on door. Opening the door she saw khanna standing there.

"Ma'am your wedding album and CD came. No one was there so I came to give it", he said giving a paper bag to Annika. Annika smiled widely taking it and looked inside.

"Thank you khanna ji", she said to which he nodded and went from there. Closing the door, she rushed to bed and sat down criss-crossing and took out the album to see a beautiful golden cover with a rose made up of gold ribbon on it. Their names were written in red on an infinity sign.

"How beautiful this is", she gushed looking at the cover and opened it to see their engagement picture. She smiled looking at their intertwined hands.

She was going to turn the page when she stopped and decided to call Shivaay. Taking her phone, she was going to call when an idea came in her mind.

"How about I prepare lunch for him, take it to office and surprise him. He'll get happy", she thought and smiled widely on her idea.

She remember him once telling about his love for rajma chawal. Though she don't ace in cooking but she decided to try it.

Keeping the album safely inside closet, she made her hair in a bun and started preparing for rajma chawal. As she was cooking, her phone rang showing Malika. She kept the phone on speaker.

"Hey Mali, how are you?", Annika asked cutting tomatoes.

"Hi bye chod! You've forgot me Anu. Since you got married, you don't have time for me", Malika complained making Annika chuckle.

"Nothing such Mali, just appointments were so many and then hardly I got free time which I spent with Shivaay. I am going to meet you soon and then we'll catch up", she said.

"Ahaan! Jiju doesn't leave you huh?", Malika said making Annika blush but shook her head.

"Nothing such! He himself is busy in office, just went to have a meeting", she said stirring the pan.

"So what's the juliet doing without Romeo?", Malika said giggling.

"Preparing lunch for him and then I will go to his office with lunch! I got our wedding CD and album today", smiling Annika said hearing a squeal from Malika.

"I want a copy of CD soon", Malika said to which Annika giggled saying okay.

"Okay babe, I will call you later. It's already 12, he'll have his lunch hour in an hour, I will talk you later", Annika said looking at the time.

"Haan haan, you enjoy with your Romeo I will call you later", Malika said keeping the call making Annika chuckle.

Packing lunch in fold basket, she went to their room. Making herself look presentable, she went back to kitchen. Taking the basket, she went outside to porch.

"You want to go somewhere ma'am? I will drop you", Khanna said seeing Annika going towards her car.

"Not to worry khanna ji, I am just going to Shivaay's office. It's okay", she said with a smile to which khanna nodded. Annika drove to Oberoi Industries.

Reaching Oberoi Industries, she walked inside to come in front of reception. She saw a new receptionist. She looked at Annika from top to bottom and passed a formal smile.

"Yes ma'am how can I help you", she asked formally.

"Is Mr. Oberoi free? I have come to meet him", Annika said with a small smile.

"Do you have appointment ma'am? Mr. Oberoi won't attend anyone without appointment", she said.

"Could you please tell his assistant Ms. Gauri that Annika has come?", annika said smiling. Frowning, receptionist called Gauri.

"Hello Raina", Gauri said from other side.

"Gauri ma'am, there's some woman want to meet Shivaay Sir, I told her that sir don't meet anyone without appointment so she asked me to call you", Raina said and looked at annika who was trying to control her giggle.

"Oh! Who is she?", Gauri asked with confused frown.

"She said Annika", Raina said.

"Annika..oh bhabhi! Raina! Send her directly to Sir's floor. She's Shivaay Sir's wife, Dr. Annika", Gauri said making Raina's eyes widen.

"What!! Shivaay sir is married?", Raina shouted surprised and looked at Annika who was raising eyebrow.

"Any problem?", Annika asked formally folding arms to which she kept the call abruptly.

"No..no ma'am, you can go to Sir's floor. It's on 15th floor. Lift from right side", Raina said fumbling a bit.

"I know", Annika passed a super sweet smile and left from there.

Walking to the lift, Annika frowned pressing the button.

"All the girls are behind him only", she muttered remembering how some of her cousins were gushing over him and now the receptionist.

Grumpily, she went inside the lift and pressed for his floor muttering something in herself.
