******************************

Shivika room,

Annika opened her eyes slowly. She looked around and her eyes fell on the clock. It showed 9:00 AM. She smiled and closed her eyes.

She was sleeping like this after many days. Last two months was very hectic for her. She was busy with some events. So she missed the home and all members of the family. She was not able to talk to them in last two months, like she always did.

She knew that no one is complaining about that. But she missed them and now wants to spend time with everyone. So after Ahuja's shaadi which was yesterday, she decided that now she will take 2 weeks break and will spend all this time with family members.

Annika opened her eyes.

Annika-"Kitne dino baad aisi soyi hu mein. I missed this and I missed everyone. But aaj se mein sabke saath apna saara time spend krungi."

She decides and sat on the bed. She then looked at the mirror and saw Shivaay there. He was wearing his blazer.

A-"Oh bete ki, Shivaay office jaa rahe hai? Nhi nhi. Mein nhi jaane dungi aaj. Kitne dino se maine Shivaay ke saath time spend nhi kiya n puri family ke saath bhi. But aaj mein krungi."

She got up from bed and came towards him. Shivaay looked at her as she stood beside her.

Shivaay-"Good morning"

Shivaay said kissing her forehead. She closed her eyes and smiled.

A-"Where are you going?"

S-"Where means? Of course I am going to office."

A-"But you Shivaay today I want....."

S-"Annika, today I have one important meeting. I am already late. I am leaving."

Annika looked at him sadly.

S-"Take care, have a nice day"

Shivaay kissed her forehead and hugged her. Annika also hugs him back.

A-"You too take care and have a nice day."

Shivaay smiled and then left from there. Annika stood their silently, she was upset now but then she smiled after some seconds.

A-"Leave it. He will come back in evening. Tabtak mein Chutki ke saath baate krungi, kuch shopping krne jaayenge, kuch street food khayenge"

Annika said happily and ran to washroom. She got ready and came to Rikara's room. She was so excited about her plan. She came to Rikara's room and was about to knock on door when Om and Gauri came outside.

Gauri-"Jiji you here?"

A-"Yeah. Good morning."

Om-"Good morning bhabhi"

A-"Gauri suno na....."

O-"Gauri let's go. We are already late."

G-"Oh yes yes. Jiji we have to go."

A-"Kaha jaa rahe ho tum log"

G-"Woh Omkara ji ka exhibition hai na"

O-"Gauri chalein? Bye bhabhi"

Gauri hugs Annika.

G-"Bye jiji"

She said and left with Om. Annika felt sad.

A-"Gauri bhi gayi. Now?? Yeah Rudy or Bhavya."

She said and ran towards Ruvya room. She knocked on the door.

Bhavya-"Annika bhabhi aap? Aao na. Kya hua?"

A-"Kuch nhi. Ky chal raha hai?"

B-"Kuch nhi bhabhi. Woh bas nikal hi rahe the police station ke liye. You know aaj hi ek new case aaya hai"

Rudra came from washroom.

Rudra-"Chalein Bhavya. Arre Annika bhabhi aap? Kuch chahiye tha?"

Annika was about to say something when Rudra hugs her.

R-"Bhabhi aaj mera ek advertisement ka shoot hai. Wish me luck."

Annika smiled.

A-"All the best."

R-"Bhavya let's go. Bhabhi byee. We will come in evening now."

Rudra said and left with Bhavya. Annika came to hall to talk with daadi, Pinky and Jhanvi. But one servent said that they went to mandir with Tej and Shakti and after that they were going for shopping. Annika nodded and that waiter left from there.

Annika was sad now. She wants to spend time with them but no one was there in the mansion now. She went to her room.

All family members who were hiding behind pillar came outside after Annika left from there.

S-"I am feeling bad for Annika. She is sad and I am going to her"

Shivaay said and was about to left but Gauri stopped him.

Gauri-"Bhaiya please....we are doing this for her na"

S-"Yeah but..."

O-"Shivaay, Gauri is right. Her plan is perfect. Tu khud soch ki bhabhi ko Gauri ka yeh surprise kitna accha lagega"

Shivaay looked at Gauri and smiled.

S-"Kyu nhi aayega? Akhir uski behen ne jo kiya hai. But phir bhi....."

R-"Bhaiya....."

S-"Ok ok fine..... I just..... Mujhe bas bura lag raha hai ki uske birthday ke din hi yeh sab....."

G-"Bhaiya, toh Jiji ke birthday ke liye hi yeh kr rahe hai na?"

R-"Haa and it's called Surprise Bhaiya"

Daadi-"Haa Billu, ek din se kuch nhi hota tumhari Annika ko relax"

Daadi said and Shivaay smiled.

S-"Ok guys jo aapko thik lage. I mean mujhe bhi thik hi lag raha hai woh. So it's ok. But Gauri what's the plan?"

Gauri explains them the plan and they heard it with concentration.

In evening,

Whole day passed like this. Annika was alone in the mansion. I mean she thought it that she was alone but Shivaay was there only. He told all of them to go and arrange everything and he will be here around her.

Annika was so sad as she took holiday just because she wants to spend time with everyone but all were busy today. She was feeling alone so she spent whole day by seeing all photo albums in the mansion.

She saw Tej-Jhanvi , Shakti-Pinky's wedding album pictures, ShivOmRu and Priyanka's childhood pictures and all other moments which Oberoi family captured in the camera. She was so lost now in those pictures. Then something strikes her mind and tears formed in her eyes. She caressed one photo frame of ShivOmRu and Priyanka.

A-"Kitne acche lag rahe hai na saath me. Kitne lucky hai yeh bhai-behen. Bachpan se saath me hai. Sab kuch jaante hai sabke baare me. Kabhi ek dusre se alag nhi hue. But mein and Gauri...... We were so happy with each other in our childhood but then....."

Tears started falling from her eyes.

A-"Mere pass Gauri n meri aisi kuch yaadein hi nhi hai. Shivaay OmRu yaa Priyanka ke baare me kitna kuch bolte hai. Sab pata hai Shivaay ko OmRu n Priyanka ki birth date, woh kab bolne lage, kab school gaye, kab college gaye, kaise bade hue..... But mein...mein meri Chutki ke baare me yeh sab kyu nhi jaanti? Kyu nhi hai aisi pictures meri mere Chutki ke saath? Kyu hum dono saath nhi the? Kyu??"

Annika started crying. Shivaay who was looking at her from outside was confused now. He then saw her crying and he was panicked now. He ran to her and sat beside her on the floor. He called her name,

S-"Annika....."

Annika stopped crying and looked at him. As soon as she saw him she hugged him so tightly. Shivaay was confused about her condition. But he hugged her and patted her back.

S-"Annika... What happened? I am here with you....why you are crying? Please don't cry....."

Annika hugged him more tightly. Shivaay broke the hug and wiped her tears.

S-"What happened?"

Annika nodded in no and again tears came into her eyes.

S-"Annika tum jaanti ho na ki mein tumhe rote hue nhi dekh sakta. Mat ro."

He wiped her tears again and hugged her.

S-"Hua kya hai Annika?"

Annika didn't answer and just kept her head on his chest listening his heartbeats. After sometime, Shivaay broke the hug as she stopped crying.

S-"Are you ok?"

Annika nodded in yes. Shivaay tucked her hairs behind her ear and kissed her forehead. She smiled.

S-"Kya hua tha?"

A-"Kuch nhi"

S-"Kuch toh hua hai"

A-"Nhi. I was just missing you n everyone. I was at home whole day na n no one is here so....."

Shivaay knew that this is not the only reason now. But he also knew that she will not tell him the reason. He looked at the pictures in front of her.

S-"Pictures dekh ke ro rahi thi?"

He asked her holding her hand. Annika looked at their enrertwined hands and then at him.

A-"Haa"

S-"Kyu??" He asked confused.

Annika hugs him and kept her head on his chest.

A-"Because....."

She said playing with his blazer.

S-"Because??"

A-"Because..... My pati parmeshwar was looking handsome in his childhood too"

S-"What?"

He broke the hug and asked her shocked.

S-"Tumhara pati handsome tha isliye ro rahi thi"

A-"Haa"

S-"Kyu??... Care to explain??"

A-"Haa aap itne handsome the bachpan se. Agar koi aur ladki ne aapko bachpan me hi propose kr liya hota toh.....mera kya hota"

She said and started fake crying. She then hugged him again.

S-"What??? Annika you are impossible"

Annika giggled kissing on his chest. He hugged her back and kissed her hairline.

S-"Ok now tell me the truth. Ro kyu rahi thi?"

A-"Nhi bas aise hi"

She said in low voice. Shivaay knew what she was thinking. And he smiled when he remember Gauri's words.

S(mind)-"You both sisters are so similar. Kitna same sochti ho. Mujhe lagta tha ki bas mein hi tumhare dil ki baat samajhta hu. But nhi, kaise bhul gaya mein ki Gauri tumhari behen hai. Bilkul tumhari jaisi. Apne Jiji ke dukhi hone se pehle hi us baat ka solution bhi nikal liya. Waah Gauri."

Shivaay came back from his thoughts as his phone rings. He looked at the caller-ID. He broke the hug.

A-"Kiska phone hai Shivaay."

S-"Annika mein abhi aaya. Office se phone hai"

Annika nodded and Shivaay left from there. He came in the main hall.

S-"Hello Gauri, all set??... Fine... Ok... No no... Actually she was crying toh mein uske pass.....don't worry she is ok now..... Ha ha...ok we will leave in half hour then.....be ready...byee"

Shivaay came back to their room and saw Annika standing at the window looking outside. She was still sad. Shivaay smiled and came to her and back hugs her.

S-"Annika, mausam kitna accha hai na?"

A-"Hmm....."

S-"Toh phir chalo na hum kahi bahar chalte hai"

He said nuzzling in her hairs. She smiled.

A-"Hmm ok but kaha?"

S-"Woh baad me sochenge pehle ready hote hai"

He said and dragged her to the cupboard. He pulled out one dress from cupboard.

S-"Yeah wear this"

A-"Shivaay hum kya koi function pr jaa rahe hai....kitni heavy hai yeh"

S-"But it's so beautiful.. see"

Annika looked at that dress carefully.

A-"Ek minute, yeh dress.... Yeh meri nhi hai"

S-"What? Ab hamare cupboard me thi toh kiski hogi...meri?? Annika mein aise clothes nhi pehenata"

He said and laughed. She slapped on his shoulder.

A-"Mera woh matlab nhi tha. But yeh meri nhi hai."

S-"Phir wohi baat? Arre itni dresses hai tumhare pass. Unme se hi koi hogi"

A-"But Shivaay....."

S-"Annika go and wear this na. Warna yehi reh jaayenge investigation krte krte dress ki"

Annika nodded and went to washroom to change the clothes. Shivaay sighed in relief.

S-"Aur ek kaam ho gaya Gauri tumhara"

Soon Annika came back from washroom. Shivaay was lost in her as she was looking breathtakingly beautiful in that outfit.

Shivaay helped her to get ready and then he himself changed his clothes. Then they both left from the mansion.

In car,

A-"Shivaay ghar me koi nhi hai. Agar koi aaye n hum na mile yaha toh....."

S-"Mobile phone kis liye hai phir??? Don't worry, koi kuch nhi puchega. Ab chalein?"

A-"Hmm..... But Kaha jaayenge?"

S-"Do you trust me?"

A-"Huh??? Yeh kaha se beech me aaya??"

S-"Answer me.... Do you trust me Annika?"

A-"Of course I trust you Shivaay. Apne aap se bhi jyada aap pr bharosa hai mujhe"

S-"Then please don't ask me any questions "

He said and pulled out one black cloth from his pocket. Annika looked at him shocked.

A-"What's this? Kidnap kr rahe ho mujhe?"

S-"Yes my dear wifey. And agar jaan pyaari hai toh chup chaap woh kro jo mein bol raha hu"

He said in dangerous voice. She laughed out loud.

S-"Kidnap hoke has rahi ho?"

A-"Nhi nhi. Mein toh darr gayi hu. Yeh mera darr hai." She said in scared voice and again started laughing.

S-"Ok enough now Let's go"

A-"Ok boss"

Annika said and Shivaay smiled. Shivaay tied that cloth on her eyes. He then started his car and they drove towards the Annika and Gauri's house(Harsh Vardhan Trivedi's house).

Annika's house,

Shivaay and Annika reached there. Shivaay came out of the car and helped her to get down. He then came to the main door with her.

A-"Shivaay kaha hai hum?"

S-"Patience my dear"

He said and slowly removed that cloth from her eyes. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at the surroundings. She then looked at him.

A-"Shivaay hum yaha....."

S-"Kitne din ho gaye na yaha nhi aaye..... Tumne bas renovate kr liya ghar but yaha aana bhi chahiye na kabhi kabhi"

A-"Haa Shivaay mein bhi chahti thi aana but woh sab events n weddings n all....."

S-"Koi baat nhi aaj toh aaye hai na... Chalein?"

He said forwarding his hand. She nodded smilingly and kept her hand on his. He asked her to open the door. She opened it. It was dark inside. Annika held his hand tightly.

S-"Mein hu Annika tumhare saath.... Chalo"

He said and they entered into the house. They can't able to see anything due to darkness. Suddenly some light fell on them and then on one wall. Annika looked at the wall.

She smiled and came to that wall. There was hanging one big photo frame. Annika smiled and caressed the photo frame on the wall.

      She was looking at that frame lovingly when another light fell on the other wall. She looked at that wall and came to see it clearly.

      There was another photo frame hanging on the wall. In which Annika was feeding Gauri something. Tears formed in Annika's eyes as she caressed that frame.

     Another light fell on the side of that frame. Annika looked at it. There was photo frame hanging in which Gauri and their dad were celebrating Annika's birthday. Annika looked at that frame and she started crying silently. As she remembered after that day they were separated from each other.

     Shivaay who was looking at her every action came to her and side hugs her. Annika kept her head on his chest. Shivaay wiped her tears and held her tightly.

     Annika was looking at that frame with tears in her eyes when another light fell on the nearest wall. Annika came to see that new frame with Shivaay. She looked at that frame carefully. Then she remembered that the first half part of this picture was taken when she was in orphanage, by one teacher there. Annika was watering the plants. She looked at her photo and then looked at the other half side of the photo. There was Gauri's photo in which she was also watering the plants. Annika then carefully looked at the whole frame. It was looking like they both were watering plants together. Annika looked at Shivaay and he just smiled.

    Then another light fell beside of that frame. There was also two pictures which edited and combined into one. Gauri was cutting the cake and Annika was clapping happily. Tears formed in her eyes and she caressed Gauri's face.

      Then like this one by one lights fell on the walls and all house was full of lights now. All walks contain many Annika-Gauri pictures. Annika again looked at them. First 2-3 frames when they were together. Then next frames when they were not together but those frame was edited like it looks one frame. And they were together in those scenes. Then there was some other frames which contains Annika-Gauri pictures after they came to Oberoi Mansion. All pictures of Annika-Gauri were there. Which they clicked in Shivika and Rikara's pre-wedding functions then in Shivika shaadi, then after that n all till yesterday. Yesterday they both clicked one picture in the lawn of Oberoi Mansion. That was there too.

    Annika was looking at all frames and was crying. She looked at Shivaay who was watching the frames with her.

A-"Shi..... Shivaay yeh sab??"

    Shivaay came to her and wiped her tears.

S-"Yes sab isliye kyuki....."

A-"Kyuki....."

      "Happy Birthday to you....." came a voice. Shivaay turned Annika's face towards the door and saw whole Oberoi family there.

     They came inside while singing birthday song. They all hugs Annika and wished her happy birthday. Annika was so overwhelmed by all this.

A-"Aaj mera ....."

G-"Birthday hai" Gauri said excitedly.

S-"And tum bhul gayi ho, hai na? Pata tha mujhe"

    Annika tried to remember what was today's date and she got to know that today is her birthday and she forgot about it.

      Annika just smiled looking at all.

G-"Let's cut the cake now"

A-"Thank you so much all. N Shivaay....."

      She came to Shivaay.

A-"Thank you so much for this."

    She said looking at all the frames.

A-"Maine aapse kaha ki I missed all these moments and aapne..... But wait a minute, yeh sab itni jaldi arrange kaise hua?"

      Shivaay smiled.

S-"Itni jaldi kaha? Pura 1 month laga hai yeh sab krne Gauri ko"

A-"Gauri ko?"

D-"Yes beta. Gauri did all this. She wants to do something special on your birthday as she was not with us on your last birthday. So she thought about this idea."

R-"Haa bhabhi. You know chulbul bhabhi collected all these pictures from your orphanage, from some of your friends and from Sahil."

      Annika looked at Gauri. Gauri just smiled. Annika couldn't believed to the fact that in afternoon only she was crying because she missed all the moments with Gauri and now she got all those memories only because of Gauri. Tears formed in her eyes and she came to Gauri. She cupped Gauri's face and said,

A-"Chutki tum....."

     Annika was not able to complete as she started crying. Gauri hugs her tightly.

G-"Jiji birthday ke din koi rota hai kya?"

      Annika started crying loudly and hugs Gauri tightly. Seeing her crying Gauri also starts crying. They were crying in each others embrace for some time. After sometime they broke the hug. Annika wiped Gauri's tears and Gauri wiped Annika' s  tears. They hugged each other again. All others looking at them with moist eyes.

     Shivaay and Om came to them.

S-"Chalo ab bahut ho gaya rona dhona"

O-"Let's cut the cake"

    Annika and Gauri broke the hug and Shivaay hugs Annika and Om hugs Gauri.

      Daadi, Pinky and Jhanvi did aarti of Annika and daadi asked her to cut the cake now.

      Annika smiled and cuts the cake with Gauri. They feed each other and then to other family members.

      Everyone gave gifts to Annika. Only Gauri and Shivaay was left. Gauri brought one box from inside and gave it to Annika. Annika opened it. And there was one beautiful lehenga. Annika caressed that and smiled.

G-"Jiji I stitched this and this dress too"

      Annika looked at her surprised.

A-"Sacchi??"

G-"Haa. My fashion designing course is completed now. And the first thing I stitched na, that was this dress n this lehenga."

     Annika looked at her sister proudly.

A-"I am very proud of you Gauri"

    Annika said and hugs her.

A-"This is so beautiful."

G-"Thank you"

     Annika broke the hug and kissed Gauri's cheek.

Om-"Shivaay your gift??"

S-"Haa"

      Shivaay came to Annika and gave her one envelope. Annika opened it. There was some papers. Annika took them and read. She looked at Shivaay surprised.

S-"This is for you both."

    He said looking at Gauri.

S-"I opened this new orphanage on the name of Annika and Gauri. Yeh tum dono ka hai. I opened it for two reasons."

A-"Which reasons?"

S-"First , mein nhi chahta jo tum dono ke saath ho kisi bhai behen ke saath ho. Yaha koi bhai-behen alag nhi rahega. Sab saath me rahenge."

    Tears formed in Annika and Gauri's eyes.

S-"And second, mein chahta hu yeh orphanage tum dono chalao. Yeh chote baccho ko padhao unke saath khelo. Isse tum dono apna bachpan saath me phir se jee sakte ho. Jo tum logo ne nhi kiya tha na saath milkr, mein chahta hu ab woh sab tum dono kro un baccho ke saath"

    Shivaay said and Annika ran to him and hugs him tightly. She was crying. Shivaay hugs her back. Here Gauri was also crying. Om hugs her and consoles her.

      Annika was crying keeping her head on Shivaay's chest. Shivaay caressed her hairs and kissed on her head. She broke the hug after sometime.

A-"Shivaay....."

     Tears again came from her eyes. Shivaay wiped them.

G-"Thank you so much Bhaiya for this gift. It is the best gift for us hai na Jiji?"

    Shivaay smiled and looked at Annika who was looking at him with moist eyes. Shivaay smiled and kissed her forehead.

S-"Happy birthday Annika"

      He said and again kissed her forehead.

A-"Thank you. Thank you so much Shivaay for this gift. I love you....."

      She said and hugs him tightly. All shouted happily and started teasing them.

S-"I love you too"

    Shivaay hugs her back and kissed her hairs. After sometime Annika broke the hug. She held Shivaay's hand and they came to Om Gauri."

A-"Hum dono yeh orphanage chalayenge but for that we need your help."

      She said looking at Om and Shivaay. Om and Shivaay smiled and nodded. And they four had a group hug.
