Shivaay entered into the mansion and went to kitchen directly. He opened fridge door and kept one big chocolate ice-cream tub into the freezer.

"Annika's favorite chocolate ice-cream. She is so busy and also tensed about her work from last week. Now she will get happy by seeing this and will relax for sometime. Everything is perfect but still Annika is Annika... her favorite work is to be worried about things until it gets finished."

     Shivaay said to himself closing the fridge door. From last one week she was busy,tensed, worried n all. She got the contract of this current wedding just 15 days before so she is tensed about all the things. She wanted to give them all perfect arrangements and she was doing also but still she was not satisfied with her own work.

      Thinking about her Shivaay walked towards their room.

"I hope she is awake. Annika....."

     He called her name as soon as he opened the door of the room but was confused when he saw lights off.

"Lights off? How's that possible? And that too when I am not here with her?"

     He walked in hurriedly and walked to the switch board. But,

"Aahhh....."

     He stopped in middle when his foot hits something. He looked at the front but because of darkness he didn't saw anything. Massaging his foot for a moment he walked towards the switch board slowly and turned on the lights.

"Annika....."

     He turned to look for her but he saw whole room was empty. Then he looked at the floor to see what's that thing that came in his way and was confused when he saw two big suitcases there.

"Bags??Why? And....."

     He stopped in middle and made a sad face.

"Not again Annika. I really hate your these destinations weddings n all."

     He complained like a child but then he remembered something.

"But wait where is she going now? This Roy's wedding is day after tomorrow and then reception n all. And Annika never pack her bags this much early. She always packs them on the day she leaving that too she need my help. So if it's not her work then what it is?"

     He looked around for her again but whole room was empty.

"She must be with daadi right now giving her foot massage."

      He said looking at the clock.

"Let me go and ask her about this."

     Saying so he walked towards the door only to bump with Rudra.

"Rudra, what is you doing? Keep your eyes open while walking."

    Shivaay said holding his elbow.

"Ohh Bhaiya you came. Thank god. I was waiting for you. Let's go to sleep I am very tired."

     Rudra said and moving Shivaay aside he entered into the room. Shivaay was confused.

"You are sleeping here? Why? Let me guess Bhavya threw you out of the room right?"

     Shivaay asked and started laughing.

"Very funny. It's not like that. I am sleeping here because bhabhi....."

    He stopped looking at those suitcases.

"Woww bhabhi packed her bags too. Great."

     Rudra said and Shivaay looked at those suitcases and then at Rudra.

"Means you know about it? Where she is going Rudra? As I remember for next two weeks she has no out of station events."

     Shivaay asked and Rudra smiled.

"Yeah you are right. It's not for any work n all. Bhabhi is going to her house that too permanently."

"Ohh I thought it's wed..... Ek minute what did you say?"

     Shivaay almost screamed. Rudra walked towards him.

"Ohh you don't know anything about that na?..... Ohh Bhaiya what you did haa? You created a big blunder, now see the results. Bhabhi is leaving you."

     Rudra said placing his hands on Shivaay's shoulder and Shivaay was more confused.

"Rudra what are you saying? Shut up. Why will Annika go away from me? She can't live without me."

"But you can live without her na. And it's good for you right? Now you can enjoy as much as you want. You can talk and take pictures freely with other girls."

      Rudra said and Shivaay didn't get anything.

"Shut up Rudra. Kyaa bola jaa raha hai tu?Other girl, pictures n all??When I did all this? Or when I said I want to do this haa?"

     Shivaay was angry now.

"Ohh Bhaiya you.....ok let me tell you what happened in detail then only you will understand."

     Rudra said and confused Shivaay nodded in yes.

"So before sometime me and bhabhi were watching some funny videos on my Instagram account and while scrolling down bhabhi saw your picture. You went to some party today na, yeah in this same suit your picture was there with....with Sia"

      Rudra said looking at Shivaay's outfit.

"Picture?? Ok haa they clicked many pictures maybe one of them posted them. So what?"

"So what?? Bhaiya, it's a very big thing. After that bhabhi asked me who is she and I told her she is your college friend."

     Rudra gave more information.

"Ohh....so?? She must have understood why I wrote....."

     Rudra cutted Shivaay in between.

"And then bhabhi turned into her Jhansi Ki Rani avtaar. Bhaiya you wanted to meet this Sia that's why you didn't tell bhabhi about party and went without her right? Bhabhi ko toh pata bhi nhi tha you were in some party. She was waiting for you to have dinner, you know? She thought you must be busy in some meeting. But you were busy in this...your personal meetings. Bhabhi was so so upset you know."

     Rudra said dramatically and Shivaay's eyes widened in shock.

"Whatttttt??"

      He screamed.

"Yes Bhaiya. That's why bhabhi is angry and so all this."

     Rudra said looking at the bags. Shivaay turned to look at her bags and then said,

"No no no Rudra. How can this is possible? I told her everything about party. She knew everything from before"

     Shivaay said after recalling what he wrote in that letter.

"Hawwww really? Kuch bhi Bhaiya. Why will bhabhi react like this if she knew all things beforehand?"

     Rudra asked him but Shivaay nodded in no.

"Rudra I am saying the truth. I left a letter for her. I didn't have phone so I wrote one letter for her. And above that she is too busy in her work now a days. I knew that, that's why I didn't force her to come. I mentioned all these things in letter."

      Shivaay said and Rudra made a surprised face.

"Really Bhaiya? But if this is true then why bhabhi reacted in that way? She trusts you right? Why will she decide to leave house if she read that letter haa?"

"Rudra I am saying truth I kept it there and ....."

     Shivaay said pointing to the bed and stopped when he saw nothing there. He walked towards the bed.

"See Rudra letter is not here that means she read it already."

     Rudra came to him.

"No way Bhaiya. Why will bhabhi do this after reading the letter? You know her very well right? She is not like this."

    Rudra said shrugging his shoulders and Shivaay looked at Rudra.

"Yeah you are right. But that means she didn't read that letter. But then where is that letter now?"

     Shivaay said and started searching for it. He looked below pillows, at the side table but didn't found it. He bend down to see and saw one white paper lying on floor below their bed. He picked it up and opened it. Then he looked at Rudra and said,

"See Rudra... I gave this letter before leaving."

     Rudra took that letter in his hands and read it loudly. And then looked at Shivaay.

"OMG Bhaiya..... this is...this is...one big misunderstanding... you are not at fault Bhaiya. I am sorry. But hey still you are getting punishment. Bhabhi is leaving you for forever."

      Rudra acted like he was too shocked by all this.

"Shut up. I will not allow her."

     Shivaay angrily answered and took letter from Rudra's hands.

"Where is she? I want to show her this."

     Shivaay asked Rudra.

"Actually bhabhi packed her bags and was about to leave but we stopped her saying it's too late. So she agreed to stay here for tonight. But she said she can't stay in this room with you. So Bhavya said to her sleep in our room and so I came here to sleep."

     Rudra gave information with an innocent face.

"Let me go and talk with her."

     Shivaay said and ran out of the room. Rudra ran behind him.

"Bhaiya stop. First listen to me. Bhaiya"

      Shivaay stopped when they were in the hall and turned to Rudra.

"What Rudra? Let me go and talk with her first."

"Bhabhi is not in our room right now. She was crying very badly. So I asked Chulbul bhabhi and Bhavya to take her to her favorite ice-cream parlour"

     Rudra said folding his hands.

"Ok no problem I will go there."

     Shivaay said and was about to turn but Rudra ran to stop him.

"No Bhaiya. Bhabhi is very angry. You don't even know what she will do. So let's wait here. They will come in sometime. Then you can talk I mean explain to her. If she will listen."

     Rudra said standing before Shivaay to stop him from going out of the mansion.

"She will listen Rudra. She have to."

       Shivaay said and looked at the letter in his hands.

"I will not allow you to go anywhere Annika. And that too when I did nothing."

     Shivaay said sadly and then went to the sofa and sat on it. Rudra also came and sat beside him.

      Fifteen minutes passed like this. Shivaay was looking at the his watch all the time.

"Rudra I think I have to go and check. It's too late now. And it's dark outside. And why you sent them alone haa?"

     Shivaay asked and before Rudra gives answer Om came there.

"What's up guys? What are you both doing here at this hour?"

     Om asked walking towards them.

"Shivaay why you are looking so tensed? Is everything ok?"

     Om asked looking at Shivaay's face but Shivaay sat silent looking at his watch.

"Rudra kyaa hua?"

    Om asked and Rudra asked him to sit. And then told him about everything.

"What?? Itni badi misunderstanding?? Offo Shivaay why you didn't tell anyone of us to give your message to bhabhi? Forget us why you didn't give message to any of servant?"

      Om asked looking at Shivaay.

"Ab mujhe kyaa pata tha aisa kuch hoga. She always ran to her bed to take one nap after coming back from her work so I kept letter there on bed."

      Shivaay was sad, angry and frustrated now and more than that he was scared of his tigress wife.

"Ohh ok now let bygones be bygones. Shivaay I will go and talk with bhabhi. She will listen to me."

     Om said and was about to get up but Rudra said,

"O, bhabhi is not at home."

     Om looked at him.

"Not at home matlab? You said she is leaving right? Or she already left?"

     Om was shocked.

"No no she is leaving tomorrow morning. Right now she went to have ice-cream with Bhavya and Chulbul bhabhi."

     Rudra said and Om got up from his seat shockingly.

"Whattt?"

     Both Shivaay and Rudra looked at him confused. But before they ask he continued,

"Rudra are you mad? Why you sent her with Gauri? Why you and Bhavya didn't go with bhabhi? Or why you didn't tell me? Main jaata bhabhi ke saath. But why Gauri?"

     Om asked angrily and Shivaay and Rudra were more confused now.

"Why Gauri means?"

     Shivaay asked. Om sat beside Shivaay.

"Shivaay, you know na why bhabhi is angry on you? And Gauri....she will make bhabhi more angry now. I am 100% sure."

"How??"

     Shivaay asked.

"That dabang girl is fighting with me from last two days you know. And that too for a very small reason. I just left for my work without telling her. She was busy with daadi and I was late so I left. Oh my God I can't even tell you what she did after that."

"What??"

     Shivaay asked.

"She assumed all things by her own and started fighting with me. Why you left? Why you were in so much hurry? Where you went? To meet any girl or what? And all such questions. Till now she is fighting with me."

     Om said and Shivaay looked at him confused. Rudra said,

"O, here we are talking about Bhaiya n Annika bhabhi n you came with your poor husband story. Let us focus on Bhaiya's problem."

"Arre you are not getting it Rudra. See, Annika bhabhi went with Gauri and she must have tell Gauri about all this...I mean about Sia n all. So now Gauri will try to instigate Annika bhabhi more. Dekhna tum. I am very sure."

     Om said and Shivaay looked at him horrified when he realized what Om trying to say.

"No no no no no......"

     He shouted.

"Yes Shivaay yes. Already bhabhi is angry and I am sure Gauri will add fuel in the fire I mean in bhabhi's anger."

     Om said and Shivaay looked at him worriedly.

"No no I don't want this. Om tell me what can I do now?"

"Best solution is ignore. Ignore bhabhi. She is showing Tadi na you also show her your famous Tadi. That too in double amount. Waise bhi you are right. You left letter for her also, still she is angry. So it's not your fault."

     Om gave solution to Shivaay but he said,

"But she didn't read letter na?"

"So what? You kept it na? You have done your work. So you are not at fault. She is angry and packed bags na? It's her fault now. So you better ignore her. See she will come to talk to you by her own."

     Om said placing hand on Shivaay's shoulder. Shivaay thought for a minute.

"Gauri aayi thi??"

      He asked Om and Om looked at Rudra and then at Shivaay.

"H...haa haa.... She will come I am sure."

"She will? Matlab she didn't right? No way I am not going to ignore Annika. Infact I am going to explain her everything. I am going to her right now."

     Shivaay said getting up from the sofa. OmRu looked at each other.

"Bhaiya no way I told you na she is very angry. She will do something if you go there now. That too in public."

"But Rudra....."

    Shivaay was about to say something but Om cutted him in between.

"Ok Shivaay you want to talk na then call her."

"Call?? Yeah call."

      Saying so Shivaay put his hand in his blazer pocket.

"Offo I don't have phone. Rudra give me yours."

     Rudra gave his phone and Shivaay dialled Annika's number. Annika received it after two-three rings.

"Yess Rudra"

      She said and Shivaay smiled listening her voice.

"Annika it's me Shivaay. You...."

      He started but she said,

"Heyy you dialled wrong number. It's not Sia it's Annika's number. "

"Annika I....."

     Before he says something she cut the call. Shivaay looked at OmRu. And again called her.

"Hello Anni....."

     But she cutted him in between again.

"I told you it's Annika not Sia. So don't waste your precious time in calling me. Go and call Sia. She must be waiting for your call."

"Annika meri....."

      She again cuts the phone. Shivaay looked at OmRu.

"Told you bhabhi is veryy angry."

     Rudra said.

"I am going to meet her now."

     Shivaay said and before OmRu stop him he walked towards the door but stopped when he saw Annika, Gauri and Bhavya coming inside. Shivaay ran towards Annika and hugged her.

"Annika....."

     She pushed him and said,

"Atleast look at the person first Mr. Oberoi. I am Annika not Sia."

     She said and walked passing him but stopped when he held her hand. Shivaay came infront of her and cupped her face.

"Annika first listen to me."

       She removed his hands from her face.

"Annika and Sia...I think much difference is there in both right OmRu? I don't look like her in any angle. So why this man is confused? Listen Mr. Oberoi I am Annika not your Sia. Go and do these things with her."

     Saying so she again pushed him and started walking but Shivaay again came and stood before her.

"Annika listen to me. Maine kuch nhi kiya yaar. I just went to....."

     He stopped as Annika turned to OmRu.

"I think this man don't want me to stay here for tonight also. Om can you come to drop me to my house? Right now?"

     She asked.

"What? No way? You are not going anywhere. I am not allowing you."

     Shivaay said holding her by her shoulders. She looked at him and smiled sweetly.

"Why Mr. Oberoi? You can go and do anything you want, with anyone. But I am going to do something you are saying not allowed and all. Why? And I am not going to some party to talk with some boys n all. I am going to my house. That's it."

      Annika said and Shivaay cupped her face again.

"Annika I know you are angry and I know the reason too. But give me one chance to explain. Please."

"Chance? No need Mr. Oberoi. No need to explain anything. And haa I am not angry and all. You can do anything you want. You are free now."

     She said with a smile removing his hands from her cheeks and turned to Om again.

"Om I will go and come with my bags. Just wait for two minutes."

     She said and was about to go but Shivaay didn't allow her. He held her in his arms. She tried to come out but his hold was tight. He picked her up in his arms and went to the nearby sofa. He made her sit on that and kneeled down before her. He took her hands in his.

"Annika, I know you are angry. But trust me, whatever you are thinking is not true. I went in that party and yeah I was in that picture but....."

     She cutted him in between.

"See and then he is saying he is not wrong."

     Annika said looking her devars and devranis.

"Annika first listen to me. I am saying this because I left one lett....."

"Mr. Oberoi I am not free to listen your own made story. Tell me if anything is really important and true otherwise leave me. I have to go."

      She said trying to remove her hands from him but he didn't allow.

"Annika you know na I am not like that. You know me right? So why you are doing this haa? Okay fine.... I am not going to explain anything as you don't want that. But please don't do this to me na. You know right I can't live without you. And you are talking about leaving me n all."

     Shivaay said looking into her eyes.

"Fine but on one condition."

     Annika said after a minute. Shivaay smiled widely.

"Jo tum kaho. I can do anything for you."

      Annika looked at Rudra and he winked at her and mouthed , 'all the best'. Annika again turned to look at Shivaay.

"Bolo na kyaa kru main?"

     He asked again.

"If you want me to stay here with you then you have to sing one song. And haa not in your that bad voice. You have to sing it in good voice. Not like professional singers but atleast as some normal people."

     Annika said and all others were shocked. Rudra and Shivaay more.

"But bhabhi we....."

     Rudra tried to speak but Annika cutted him in between.

"So Mr. Oberoi you have only two minutes. Sing the song and I will be here with you for forever. Or else my bags are packed."

     Annika said looking at Shivaay who was already in big shock.

"What happened? Are you not ready? Ok then Om let's....."

     She was about to get up but Shivaay made her sit again.

"I am doing it."

"Really???"

      She asked surprised. Shivaay nodded and looked into her eyes directly. One minute passed like this and he was still looking at her. She was about to say something after a minute but he nodded in no and took a deep breath, his eyes were still locked with hers.

"Hum Tere Bin Ab Reh Nahi Sakte
Tere Bina Kya Wajood Mera
Tujhse Juda Gar Ho Jaayenge 
Toh Khud Se Hi Ho Jaayenge Judaa
Kyunki Tum Hi Ho
Ab Tum Hi Ho
Zindagi Ab Tum Hi Ho
Chain Bhi, Mera Dard Bhi
Meri Aashiqui Ab Tum Hi Ho....."

       Shivaay sang and all opened there mouth in shock. They couldn't believe on their ears as his voice was very good. Shivaay looked at Annika and was about to say something but stopped when she came forward and hugged him tightly. He was confused but as well as happy as she hugged him. He reciprocated and both sat there for sometime in each other's arms. Slowly shivaay moved back and saw tears in her eyes. He wiped them.

"I love you."

     Annika said and made him sit beside her and hugged him again. Shivaay smiled hugging her back.

"Bhaiya....you...you really sang well....how?"

     Rudra was still in shock.

"That's a power of love Rudra. You can do anything for your love. Anything means anything. Already Shivaay did many things for bhabhi and in front of them it's nothing."

     Om said and Rudra nodded but then made a cry baby face.

"But bhabhi why you asked for this? We already decided na what you have to ask? Then?"

     Shivaay was confused now.

"Already decided means?"

     Annika smiled moving back.

"Because you deserve this for all you did."

      She said to Rudra.

"What you guys are talking about?"

      Shivaay asked them. Annika looked at him and said,

"Shivaay whatever you had to face in last half hour na is because of this Rudra. He asked me to act like I didn't read any letter."

      Annika said looking at Rudra.

"Ohh so..... Whattt?? What did you say? Letter? You read it?"

     Shivaay was shocked now. Annika looked back at him and nodded.

"I read that as soon as I came back from work. Then this Rudra came to me to make me jealous by showing me that picture. But I know you right, I trust you too. And that too after that letter why will I do like this haa? But this boy made one plan and blackmailed me to do what he said. I didn't want to Shivaay but he forced me."

     Annika told him everything and Shivaay looked at Rudra angrily.

"Rudraaaaa....."

     Rudra looked at Annika.

"Bhabhi this is not fair. You were in my team."

"I were. I told you to not do any extreme things. But see what you did? See his heart is still beating fast."

     She said placing her hand on Shivaay's chest.

"So you deserve it. Now no water park...nothing."

     Annika said.

"This is not fair bhabhi."

      Rudra cried.

"Let me tell you what is fair and what not."

     Shivaay said standing up on his feet and ran to catch Rudra. Rudra ran away from him but finally Shivaay was able to catch him.

"Ouch Bhaiya sorry....sorry sorry....leave my ear."

      Shivaay left his ear which he was holding from last one minute.

"Listen Rudra if you does this again na I will....."

     But before he completes Rudra ran from there saving his life.

"Run how much you want. I will not leave you."

     Shivaay shouted and then turned to look at other who were laughing and he too joined them.

      Soon Bhavya and Om-Gauri also left from there wishing shivika good night. Shivaay walked towards Annika and hugged her again. She hugged him back with a smile.

"Don't smile ok. You also deserve punishment. I was so scared you know. If you does something like this again na Annika.....I.....I....."

"You what?"

     She asked playing with his shirt's button.

"I will..... I will.....go on date with Sia"

     Shivaay said hugging her more tightly keeping his head on hers. Annika laughed.

"Accha ji?? Okay go I don't have any problem with it."

      She replied.

"Really??"

"Yeah. But have you seen that Raj's body? Hrithik Roshan se bhi acchi hai. You have to be very very careful then."

    Annika said laughingly and Shivaay broke the hug but still holding her in his arms.

"How you know about him?"

      He asked.

"Arre he was in that picture na. Rudra told me about Raj. Seriously his body is....."

      Shivaay didn't give her chance to complete.

"You were drooling over him? Not allowed okay?"

"Arre when I drooled? I just saw picture and he was really very handsome."

"Annika...stop it."

"Arre listen na....."

     She said encircling her arms around his neck.

"Actually Raj is not that much handsome. There was one more man in that picture who was handsome among all of them."

"Annika.....stop"

      Shivaay was not interested to listen any other man's praising from his own wife.

"Arre listen, he is really very handsome and was looking very charming in that wine colored suit and his blue eyes....."

"Annika I said sto...... Ek minute what did you say?"

     Shivaay looked at her surprised and she kissed on his cheek and winked at him. Shivaay too smiled shyly.

"Pagal ladki."

     He said and hugged her again.

"My blushing Patidev let's go and sleep. It's already late."

     Shivaay broke the hug.

"Okay but not before eating your favorite ice-cream which I brought specially for you."

"Sacchi??"

     She jumped in happiness. Shivaay kissed on her forehead.

"Yesss let's go."

     She nodded placing her arm around him and both walked towards the kitchen.
