All of them returned back to oberoi mansion and anika was still sleeping,  Shivaay swiftly picked up anika in his arms, walking to their bedroom. Laying her down on the bed, He kissed her forehead, walking out of the room.

While Gauri enters the room and sits beside Anika. Anika opens her eyes slowly and sits up straight, resting her head on the headboard.

"Dii, are you fine?" Gauri's asked, cupping her face and Anika nodded, assuring her while her eyes started searching for Shivaay.

"Where is shivaay, Gauri?" Anika asked, heaving a breath.

"Dii, Jiju is with Om and Rudra." Gauri replies, holding her hand, caressing it.

In Om's room,
"I'm not gonna leave that Daksh till he regrets his birth." Shivaay scowled, seething in anger.

"It's okay, Shivaay. Chill." Om tried pacifying him but Shivaay shot a glare at him.

"What do you mean by chill, Om? How dare that bastard lay his filthy hands on my love." Shivaay roared, curling his hands into a fist.

"Love?" Rudra teased and Shivaay glared at him angrily.

"Yeas, Isn't it obvious that she is my love as I love her." Shivaay relied nonchalantly, masking his blush.

"Oh my gosh! Finally this Baggad billa has realized his love. All thanks to Daksh." Rudra beamed, hugging shivaay.

"Hell man, Don't utter that bastard's name, I realized my love for her before before itself." Shivaay retorted, hugging in exasperation, drawing a chortle from Om.

"Go on man! When are you confessing it to her?" Om asked patting his holder and Shivaay smiled shyly.

"Very soon." Shivaay replied, smiling to himself, thinking about Anika.

"Anyways, I'll just check on Anika." He added, rubbing the back of his neck and Rudra grinned.

"Ahhan? Yea, Bhaiya to meet your love, your wife." Rudra teased, smiling sheepishly. Shivaay blushed walking away.

He walks into the room and find Gauri and Anika talking with each other, he smiles at both of them and grabs his clothes from the closet, walking into the wash room to fresh up. 

After a hot shower, he smiles as he notices her standing alone in the balcony, stating at nothing particular.

Sighing, He knew she would be fighting with herself. Back hugging her, He spooned her in his embrace, resting his head on her shoulder. 

"Shivaay" Anika utters, turning toward him. Smiling at her, he caresses her cheeks, dropping a lingering kiss in her forehead and she passed a fake smile to him.

"Anika there's no need to worry, he won't even think of meaning you again." He assured her, she hazed into his eyes and hugged him, hiding herself in his embrace.

"Shivaay, I'm not scared of him. I am fearing that I'm may loose you, I don't want to live without you, I cant. You're my life shivaay, my heart beat. The thought of something happening to you, fear grips my existence and I'll vanish in thin air. I love you." she express her heart out, sobbing in his embrace.

"I love you too, babe." he thought to himself, "Anika, I will not leave you till my last breath and I will never let you go. You're my everything, darling. You're very precious to me." He laments his heart out, stroking her soft locks, peppering sloppy kisses on her hair. 

"Now Smile, I want that Khidkhithod smile on my sweetheart's beautiful face." He spoke, pecking her lips and she smiled wiping her tears.

"Just go and freshen up, I'll be waiting for you at the dinner table." Shivaay chided, pulling away from the hug, she nodded and walked to the washroom.

After She freshens up,  She walks downstairs to the Dining area, passing her beautiful smile to everyone and sits beside Shivaay. Winking at her, he blew a kiss to her, heating up her cheeks which turned pink due to his intense gaze.

She gazes down shyly and digs into her food, relishing it avoiding an eye contact with him.

"Bhabhi, is everything okay?" Rudra asked, eyeing her suspiciously and she nodded, smiling at him.

"Jiju, Do you mind if ask you something?" Gauri initiated, pulling up a puppy face. Shivaay giggled, gesturing her to continue.

"Jiju, Why don't we go on a trip, like a vacation, pretty please?" Gauri suggested. Om cocked an eyebrow at her an she eyed Shivika, winking at him.

"Yea, Shivaay that's a good idea." Om agreed, playing along, bringing a smile on Gauri face which made his heart flutter.

"Okay, I don't have any problem. What's say, Anika?" He agreed and Anika nodded, passing a smile to him.

"Woah, Woah! So Goa is on." Rudra beamed, side hugging Shivaay. Shivaay smiled, shaking his head in disbelief.

"So Goa?" Om aksed, cocking up his eyebrow and the others agreed.

Shivaay slumped does on the bed, resting his head on the headboard. Anika wrapped her hand around his waist, resting her head on his chest.

Shivaay smiled weaving his fingers through her hair. She gazed into his eyes as he cupped her cheek.

"Are you happy with the trip?" shivaay asked her, she smiled and pounced on him, sitting on his lap.

"I'm happy Mr. Husband, Thank you." She uttered, Wrapping her hands around his neck, kissing his cheek. Shivaay let out a chortle at her antics and pulled her closer and she gasped due to the proximity.

"If you want to thank me, then there are many other ways." He whispered, nibbling her ear, his nose grazing her ear shell.

"What are they, Mr. Hubby?" Anika asked, fumbling. He chuckled, yanking her closer and his breath caressed her lips. Sliding his hands around her waist, he crashed his lips to  and within no time latched his lips into hers.

Though Anika was surprised by the sudden kiss, she responded to the kiss with the same fervor. 

She tried to pull away from the kiss being breathless but he tightened his grip around her, devouring her lips. He pulled away at the loss of oxygen, gazing into her honey brown orbs and caressed her swollen lips with his thumb.

Laying down on the bed, he cuddled her, peppering soft sloppy kisses on her hair.
