“Where's Shivaay?” Aditya asked as he settled near Arnav on the couch while both their wives got busy in chatting unanimously.

“He'll be somewhere in the circle of 5cm near Anika” Arnav told and Aditya chuckled.

“What was he saying when I was with Zoya?” Aditya asked and Arnav cleared his throat.

“Your girlfriend won't run away anywhere Adi. Leave her alone for sometime” Arnav told chuckling and Aditya shook his head.

“Never thought Shivaay, out of all people in this world, Shivaay will change like this” Aditya told and Arnav chuckled.

“The problem is, he had so much love in his heart and had no one to give it to. When he got someone, he's showering her with all the love” Arnav told and Aditya smiled.

“By the way I heard Oberois and Raizadas suddenly withdrew from merger with Raichands last month right. What exactly happened? Also last week there was some raid in their company” Aditya asked confused and Arnav frowned.

“Mr Raichand's son, Samar Raichand. You know him right?” Arnav asked and Aditya nodded.

“There was meeting between him and Shivaay. That bastard tried to flirt with Anika. On top of that, he tried to hold her hand. Shivaay walked in and don't ask me whatever happened after that. I heard Samar had multiple fractures. Do you think I'll sit idly? We decided not to have anymore deals with Raichands. Shivaay was still not satisfied. His idea was that raid” Arnav explained and Aditya smiled.

“Do you know what happened after that?” Arnav asked chuckling and Aditya raised his eyebrows.

Flashback

“Anika——”

“No! Don't come near me. Bh-bhaiyya” She told scared as she hid behind Arnav.

“Anika it's Shivaay” Arnav told looking at Shivaay who was equally confused.

“He's not my Shiv. I'm scared of him” She told holding Arnav's arm in a tight grip.

“Anika listen——”

“No!! Don't come near me” She told crying and Shivaay felt his whole world shattering in front of him. Anika being scared of him was the last thing he wanted to happen.

“Bhaiyya I'm scared of him” She told remembering Shivaay's red eyes.

Shivaay walked to her and hugged her tightly despite her hitting him.

“I'm sorry” He whispered and she sobbed against his chest.

“I'm scared of you” She told amidst her cries and he closed his eyes.

Shivaay looked at Arnav who was controlling his chuckle and glared at him.

“Anika, this is your Shivaay's real form” Arnav told and Shivaay rolled his eyes at him.

Flashback End

“That night Anika got a fifty five degree fever” Arnav told and Aditya looked shocked at him.

“She was that scared?” Aditya asked and Arnav nodded.

“You know right, she had only seen his smiling face from the time she was born. Even if I got angry, she never really saw Shivaay angry. It was a big shock to her” Arnav told smiling.

“Arnav she had seen him angry! There's something you still don't know. Remember that guy Sartak from our university? Once he tried to hug Anika for some dare” Aditya told and Arnav looked shocked at him.

“When?”

“You didn't come that day and Anika made Shivaay promise not to tell you. I wanted to tell but then I was scared you see” Aditya told.

Flashback

“Anika, just a minute. Can you please come here?” Sartak asked and knowing how big of a Casanova he is, Anika looked around for Shivaay or Aditya.

“What do you want?” She asked.

“I'll come there” Sartak told and walked to Anika while she clutched the books tightly not knowing what to do.

He was about to hug her when in an impulse, Anika slapped him. It was involuntary and her eyes widened in horror.

“You bloody——” Sartak was about to hold Anika when his hand was held by someone.

Shivaay stood in front of Anika and she held his arm in a tight grip.

“Dude! You better not touch her if you don't want to pay a huge sum in hospital for getting your fractured bones straight. I don't talk nonsense and you know me very well Sartak” Shivaay told, his eyes showing rage and Sartak gulped before rushing from there.

Shivaay turned to Anika and smiled at her.

“Thank you” She whispered and he frowned.

“Thank you between us? Seriously?” He asked side hugging her and she smiled.

“Sorry—Oops! Nothing. Class is going to start. Bye!” She told and rushed to her class while Shivaay turned to look at Sartak before walking to him.

Flashback End

“So much happened” Arnav told and Aditya nodded.

“Forget it anyway” Aditya told and Arnav nodded with a frown.

“By the way, any good news for us?” Aditya asked wriggling his eyebrows teasingly and Arnav sighed.

“They both doesn't have any plans on making me mamu. Can you believe it? It was their tenth honeymoon last month. God knows how many more are they planning on” Arnav told and Aditya burst out laughing.

“But I haven't seen my sister without a smile on her face all these four years. That's all I want” Arnav told smiling and Aditya smiled.

“I'm getting so jealous of that idiot” Aditya told and Arnav raised his eyebrows.

“Me and zoya have barely time for each other after all of Sid's tantrums. I bet you and khushi are no different. Aarav is too naughty from what I know. Only that idiot is free all the time” Aditya told with a frown.

“Who even told you to get your wives Pregnant so soon?” It was Shivaay's voice as he settled on the couch opposite them.

“Anika might have gone to washroom right?” Arnav asked and Shivaay frowned.

“She's playing with Aarav and Sid” He told.

“And really? Who leaves Aarav and Sid with us almost every weekend?” Shivaay raised his eyebrows and both Arnav and Aditya smiled sheepishly.

“You both are their favorites” Aditya shrugged.

“Tell me one thing Shivaay, didn't you hate kids? How come you're so comfortable with Sid and Aarav?” Aditya asked surprised and Shivaay shrugged.

“I hated irritating kids. Sid and Aarav are my boys. I love them and they love me more” Shivaay told with a smile.

“And again, handling a kid everyday, I'm used to it” Shivaay told with a sheepish smile and both Arnav and Aditya burst out laughing.

“Do you have any plans to make me mamu?”

“And me chachu” Aditya told and Shivaay chuckled.

“It will happen when it has to happen. What's the hurry for you both?” He asked and both Arnav and Aditya looked at each other.

“We're struggling with two naughty kids and you're enjoying like this while still going on honeymoons” Aditya told and Shivaay burst out laughing.

“That's not honeymoon. It's called vacation. According to Anika, our honeymoon is over and all these are vacations” He told chuckling.

“Hawww bhaiyya what is he saying?” Anika asked walking to them holding Aarav's and Sid's hands and Arnav looked confused at her.

“Baby tell your problem. Bua is there with you. Tell without any fear” Anika told looking at Aarav who had a big pout on his face.

“Mamu, bua now lishen ok. When I shleep, I shleep in bechween Papa and mumma. In molning when I wate up, then also bechween Papa and mumma. Bult, when I wake up in nighch, I'm not bechween them. Papa and mumma——”

“What the” Arnav muttered under his breath before covering Aarav's mouth.

There was two minute silence before Shivaay, Aditya and Anika burst out laughing while Arnav couldn't even look at anyone's face.

“Why ale you laughing? Even Papa and mumma do same to same” Siddhant aka Sid, son of Aditya and Zoya told and Aditya stopped laughing while Shivaay and Anika continued laughing their hearts out.

“Mamu why ale you laughing?” Aarav asked confused and Shivaay shook his head as he controlled his chuckle with much difficulty.

“Nothing love” Shivaay told with a smile.

“Acha baby tell us, who is your favorite?” Anika asked with a mischievous smile and both Aarav's and Sid's face lighted up.

“Bua and mamu” Aarav squealed.

“Chachu and Chachi” Sid squealed and Shivaay raised his eyebrows looking at both Arnav and Aditya.

“So you don't like Papa and mumma? We're sad” Khushi who walked to them with juices asked.

“Bua and mamu plays with us always but you both are always busy kishing kishing” Aarav told with a frown and Shivaay pressed his lips hard to control his chuckle while Anika couldn't even do that. She burst out laughing making both Arnav and Khushi red in embarrassment while Aditya and Zoya maintained a dignified silence.

“Bua milkshake” Aarav told with a wide smile changing topic in favour of the other two couples.

“What will I get?” Anika asked.

“One kishy on tchis cheek by me, one kishy on tchis cheek by Sid. Deal?” Aarav said touching both her cheeks.

“Deal done” She told shaking hands with both Aarav and Sid. The trio rushed to the kitchen and Shivaay slowly got up from the couch looking here and there.

“Where are you going?” Arnav asked and Shivaay shrugged.

“Thirsty. I want water”

“Drink juice Shivaay” Zoya told extending the glass of juice towards him with a cheeky smile.

“This is mango. I don't——”

“Papaya bhaiyya. Not mango” Khushi told with a sheepish smile.

“I want water”

“Here you go” Arnav told giving him a glass of water.

Shivaay gritted his teeth and drank water while the other four controlled their chuckles.

“Haaa. I'm coming baby. Ani——Aarav is calling me” Shivaay told and ran to the kitchen before they could react leaving the four to burst out laughing.

*

Anika was about to take the moisturizer to apply on her when Shivaay came and snatched it from her.

“Do you you know how bad this thing tastes?” He asked and she looked weirdly at him.

“If you didn't notice. That is moisturizer not some dish” She told weirdly.

“Where do you apply this so called moisturizer”

“On my face, neck and——chiii” She told hitting his shoulder and he grinned.

“Cheapda” She muttered and he pulled her towards him with a grin.

“So...”

“So?”

“Where are we going next?” He asked and she smiled widely.

“Le jane jaye kaha? Hawaii Hawaii Hawaii” She sang and he chuckled.

“When are we going?” She asked excited.

“When do you want to go?” He asked.

“Next month. We'll celebrate your birthday from there” She told and he nodded.

“Mumma and bhabhi made me sit with them when you three went out with Aarav and Sid. Do you want to listen what they told?” She asked chuckling and he nodded.

“Ok” She told and cleared her throat.

“This is Mumma speaking ok. Aarav needs a sister or brother right? Arnav and Khushi are telling, let Aarav grow a little and then they'll think about it” Anika told making a sad expression and Shivaay chuckled.

“Now bhabhi. Mumma is telling that it's always too difficult for her to come here and see Aarav every time. Aarav started going to kindergarten and now where's time for him. I resumed my job and I can't take Aarav every time to Oberoi mansion and show Mumma” She told imitating Khushi and Shivaay chuckled.

“Now again Mumma. We can't blame jhanvi. She wants to see her grandchild right?” Anika told with a deep sigh and and Shivaay sat on the bed holding his stomach.

“Ha Anika Mumma also wish right” She told imitating Khushi and then rolled her eyes.

“what did you say?” Shivaay asked chuckling and she sat on the bed beside him.

“I told. Ya bhabhi even aunty wish. Do one thing, let Aarav stay with me and Shiv. Anyway he loves us both more than you because you're always busy kishing kishing” She told and Shivaay burst or laughing.

“That's like my girl” He told and she raised her collars.

“Bhabhi didn't talk anything after that as she was embarrassed but Mumma scolded me for saying that. What did I do? I just told what Aarav told” She told pouting and he chuckled.

“We will have six babies right? So we need time right? At least six years for getting comfortable” She told with a wide smile.

“Why did you stop at six? Let's have a cricket team baby. India is experiencing shortage in cricket teams” He told with a grin and she blushed.

“You'll carry five and I'll carry the other four. What say?” She asked and he burst out laughing.

“Fantastic idea but babies later. Now only me and my baby” He told joining their lips together and she smiled while kissing him back.
