After a month :

It's been a month, Anika entered the Oberoi mansion. The bond between Omru and her grew stronger and when it has come to Shivaay, she is in love.

She enjoy spending time with him, find excuses to stay back with him, care for him and she knew that she has fallen in love with him and even believes that he is her prince charming and even doubts whether Shivaay reciprocates the same feelings.

One chripy morning, as usual it was a routine for shivaay to make a latte and wake up up anika and sip his espresso with her in her bedroom's balcony.

So Shivaay slowly opened the door of Anika's room with tray of two cups one with espresso and one with latte, then he saw anika sleeping peacefully hugging her soft toys with a cute morning glow on her face .

Leaning to the door, he stood there admiring her and the sun rays hit her face disturbing her, she slowly opened her droopy eyes and looks around to find shivaay standing there, smiling yo himself.

"Good morning, Shivaay." She chirped, sitting up on her bed.

"Oh yeah, indeed a good morning." Shivaay replied, shaking his head in disbelief at his thoughts and walked to her, handing her a cup of latte.

Om ru and prinku were sitting on the couch reading the newspaper and sipping their respective beverages.

"Rudra where is Shivaay?" Om asked, gazing to at him.

"Where else would he be? Anika's di's room." Rudra replied nonchalantly. 

Giggling to themselves, They head to Anika's room. Hugging Anika, Rudra greet her a good morning.

"Good morning, Rudra." She replied back, side hugging him and Om utters a "Morning Ani."

"Yeah, yeah, wish only her. Not your bhaiya." Shivaay taunted, scrunching his nose.

They burst out into laughter when, Omkara's phone buzzes, excusing himself, he walking away.

"Don't know who is she but mere o ko paraya dyan kardiya." Rudra sulked and others giggled.

Later, after Om returns back they go for their morning walk.

"So, Whose call was it Om?" Anika asked and Om blushed, looking away.

"Naah, Ani some important call." Om lied, looking everywhere but them.

"Important call or Important person?" Shivaay and Rudra teased, drawing a frown from Om.

"Hey tell me who was it?" Anika asked, teasing him.

"She is Ga... I mean no one." Om replied, heaving a breath.

"Is it she or He? Mada ladla bigad gaya." Rudra said and Shivom roared a 'shut up'.

"Didi, they are shouting at me." Rudra complained to Anika and She glared at both of them.

"Shut up both of you okay. Why are you shouting in my baby brother?" Anika scowled, twisting her lips.

"Is he a baby?, The Dumbbell Singh Oberoi." Shivaay rebuked and Anika frowned.

"Yeah, he is my baby brother, Mr.Baggad Billa." Anika retorted, annoying him.

"Hey, don't call me that, okay?" He spat and Anika giggled sticking out her tongue at him.

"I will Mr. Baggad Billa." She teased him and Shivaay huffed in anger, walking towards her but Rudra stepped between them.

"Don't you dare okay? I didn't make these biceps for showoff." Rudra threatened him, saving Anika from him.

"Aww, Thank you my cute brother!" Anika uttered, kissing his cheek and Shivaay frowned.

"Dii I can do anything for you because you're my super woman and Shivaay bhaiya 's Angel too." He whispered in Anika's ear, drawing a blush from her.

"Why are you blushing, Anika?" Om asked and Anika looked away, blushing hard.

"It's a secret between me and dii." Rudra interrupted, and shivaay huffed in exasperation.

"What secret?" Shivaay growled and Rudra flinched at his tone.

"Why are so angry now? Okay fine, I'll tell you. Anika dii loves someone." Rudra replied smirking, trying to teach his angry brother a lesson.

"Fhat the wuck? Who the hell is that?" Shivaay roared and Anika giggled, peeing through Rudra's shoulder.

"Why do you care? It's none of your business." Anika stated adding fodder to the fuel.

"I just want to know, who is it?" Shivaay replied calmly, masking his frustration.

"Okay then, My dii loves me, her baby brother." Rudra lied and Anika thanked him silently.

"Yeah, yeah. I love you a lot." Anika covered, kissing in rudra's cheek and Shivaay sighed in relief.

Shivaay's pov:

When Rudra told us that anika loves someone else, It was like my heart stooped beating for a minute but why do I even care if she loves someone else? it's her life her ,her wish.

No.. Am I in love with her??  No it's not possible even after what happened with me. No no I can't love any one maybe that is because I'm attracted to her not more than that. It's just attraction not love!!!

Pov ends.

"Shall we go back now?" Rudra asked and others nodded, walking back to Oberoi mansion.

IN OM ROOM

He comes out from the washroom and hear his phone ringing.  He sees the caller Id on the screen and smile, picking it up.

"Hello Gauri." Om greeted and gauri replied.

"had your breakfast?" Om asked, smile playing on his lips.

"Yeah, I just had it." Gauri replied.

"And yeah, Om I'm coming tomorrow pick me up okay?" Gauri informed and Om agreed.

"Have your breakfast, I'll call you in the evening." Gauri said.

"Okay, bye." Om uttered, disconnecting the call, smiling to himself.
