Annika had reached the hospital ,at the same time she saw Shivaay along with Om there.

A- how many times to tell you ...(interrupted)

S- ek minute ani ...before you start banging on me let me complete ,Om wanted to meet you .I just brought him here,that's it.

He acted innocently but it wasn't the whole part ,he could have just given the hospital address to Om instead of accompanying him.But how ?How could he stay idle when he's getting a good chance of meeting his girl.That is the indeed reason to be precise and ofcourse Om knew this ,so he just rolled his eyes listening to his love -hit - brother's cooked up justifications.

Annika looked at Om who greeted her with a warm smile ,which didn't get reciprocated back unfortunately.

A- boliye,Mr.Omkara Singh Oberoi (emphasizingly)

This did no good to Om, not only shivaay even he had been playing the fake game with her which can't be forgiven as for now.Just to finish his job shivaay had actually created a whole family set up ,but thank God atleast Om was his true brother ...Thousands of lies to be centered with just a truth .Om looked at her with guilt filled face.

Om- bhabi (interrupted)

A- I ain't your bhabi .(she told looking at shivaay who was nodding his head objectively)

Om- bhabi plss ,whatever might have happened but according to me you are my bhabi and I believe this is not going to change anytime.

He spoke to receive an immediate smile from shivaay .

A- chodo ,(sighing )why you have come here ?

Om- vo ,this shouldn't be spoken here .Shall we go inside ?(he said with a fresh smile )

A- teek hai ,but you just stay here (to shivaay )

S- arey,aise kaise .I have to collect mom's reports .

He had a bunch full of reasons to stay near  her ,there's never going to be any denial for him.

A- errr....(gritting her teeth )dono chaliye mere saath.

The trio settled inside her cabin .

A- now tell me .

S- wahh ...won't you even offer something for us ?

A- excuse me ,ye koi office nahi hai .It's an hospital and we aren't allowed for dealing any of our personal matters here .Bass Om ke liye mein tum dono ko yahan laya .Om ?tum bolo ,and you (to shivaay )keep quite.(she ordered )

Om chuckled looking at this Tom and Jerry come Shivaay and Annika .Doesn't their names sound spectacularly magical  together? That's why destiny has bonded them for life .

Om told that he was getting married in a week and he gave the invitation to annika .

A- wow Om !!!Congratulations. Who is that lucky girl jisne mera bhai ko phasaya haan ?

She reacted in a flow without noticing her words but soon she realized what had escaped from her mouth.What to do ?she wasn't at fault even .It was indeed that she treated Om as her dearly brother these two years .How else should a sister react listening to such a good news .Something's have changed in her life within 2 weeks but is it that she must leave her kindly genuine bonds back ?

Hesitantly she looked up to find the brothers smiling widely .They weren't feeling awkward with her reaction ,infact they felt extremely happy witnessing her excitement which clearly depicted that she hasn't distanced herself from them the way she was acting to have done it already.

Om- uska naam Gauri hai ,we studied in the same college. So ...(he slightly blushed before moving further)

A- hmm hmm (raising her eyebrows)

Om -aaj engagement hai ,vo...mom and dad reached India yesterday, they have decided to complete my wedding before they leave again . I'm sorry I couldn't tell you before as everything was decided just now.

A- it's ok .

Om- soo...you are coming right ?

A- after all you have done ,I must not come ....to be honest .But I can't deny a groom's wish even ,so sirf tumhare liye (she said the last line looking at shivaay )

Om- thank you so much .(simultaneously he was showing thumbs up to shivaay beneath the table so that she doesn't see it )

A- ab jaa sakthe hain tum log .

S - too rude. (to which she glared at him)

Om- ok shivaay ,I'll take a leave .I've some more friends to invite ,bye bhabi .Don't forget ,today evening ...

A- arey teek hai baba,I'll come.

Om left .

Then annika gave pinky's reports to shivaay and mentioned that her condition was perfectly normal and fine.

A- everything is normal ,just ask her to continue walking and some small exercises .That is all enough .

S- tho ...mein chaloon ?

A- I thought you would have left by now (she spoke while continuing her writing work )

S- tum na bahut...chodo ,acha teek hai .Plss wear this for today's function.(he forwarded a parcel)

A- I'm not doing any favour for you. (Angrily)

S- dress coordination honi chahiye na , so plss ,you have to accept this.I'll be waiting for you.(he winked and she looked aside )

A- reasons ka bachhhha ...(she thought )

S- and one more thing,you are going to visit your actual sasural today .

A- ohh really .

S- Yeah ,the function is held at The Oberoi Mansion .Tumhari sasural...obviously. (teasingly)

A- I declare,you should leave now .(fed up with him )

Evening

Annika entered the huge building,which seemed no less than any palace.The exclusively astonishing interiors caught her attention .With all this luxurious life on one side ,how did shivaay live in that small house in Delhi ? she thought .

Pinky - arey annika ,come beta .

A- hi aunty .

P- Om told that you both are long time friends?,why didn't you tell me about this ?

A- vo aunty ....

P- it's ok annika, mein bass aisehi pooch rahi thi .Tum andar chalo ,and meet gauri .She'll feel happy

A- teek hai aunty .

Annika was moving forward upstairs when suddenly she froze witnessing someone who was descending down the stairs. Someone who still had the magic to enthrobe her even after a displeasured past .Someone who could make her gawk at particularly, with still having some percent of hate for the same.And indeed someone who looked tragically dashing in  pink .Who said ,pink isn't what boys can do better with ?The man in front is just mastering the colour. That's when something striked her ,she is colour  coordinated with him ."Mishchevious "she mumbled.

And on the other side he was lost into his world where he could only visualize  her.This girl can easily peep inside  him and do wonders which is too hard for any other girl ofcourse that's what love is, at the end of the day .He stood observing  her  thoroughly,her perfectly dressed hair ,her each accessories from head to toe , and how to forget her capturing face ,  indeed pregnancy was magnifying her glow to another level which can't be expressed in words but could be adored with eyes through all day .

Annika

Finally coming back to reality,both of them continued with her moving upstairs and him descending down still gazing at each when the other doesn't see, and gradually at one point both stood opposite to the other being close with their shoulders brushing the other's with guaranteed rights .Not able to  wait any more ,he moved upto her ears and ...

S- you look heavenly my girl ,I may seem to stand erect but I'm literally falling for you once again,and I hope this never ends (he whispered)

Only she knew how hard it was for her to control the  budding blush ,which was in the urge of spilling any time  soon.But somehow she managed to produce a straight face and moved ,but still this blue pair of eyes weren't planning to  leave her till she entered the room.

The function had begun ,annika accompanied gauri till the stage ....or till where  gauri could get  a better company to stay for lifetime .Yeah ,truth is Om was desperately waiting for his would be wife to join him soon.

After the ring ceremony,the photo session was taking place with everyone from friends to family gathered to have a click with the couple of the day .And when annika went to stage she congratulated them and posed for a picture but suddenly her face showed anger  when shivaay came forward and posed standing beside her .

A- what's this ?(murmuring while acting to pose )

S- what ? I should be with my family right ?(posing happily )

A- I ain't your family .(fake smile )

S -plss ani ,scold me ,hit me, punish me but plss don't speak like this (his cheerful   smile faded )

Not wanting to create a scene there ,she entangled her elbow with his's and genuinely posed for a picture.Soon his disappeared smile returned with some extra energy .

Om - shivaay ?who prepared the dinner menu  for today ?(confused )

S- I did ,

Om- are you serious shivaay? ,the menu is totally out of the line man .Like all the items seems to be as something prepared for a seminar gathering which is on the topic ,Health and Nutrition. Completely based on fruits, vegetables and what else ....(he said being irritated )Arey engagement function mei greens kaun khaatha hai bhai?

S- listen ,I'm really sorry .Ye ladki annika hai na ,I'm damn sure she must have not taken anything healthy staying in the hostel .Vo ladki ,aisehi hai .She never takes care of herself, and you know right? I can't take any risk when it's anything about her. So I did it ,atleast she might eat something nutritious.I hope she does. (He narrated seriously )

Om- Don't tell me you are going to continue this in all the functions.(he gave a  terrified look )

S - If possible , mein zaroor karunga  .Come on yaar ,firstly she will never leave me to do anything for her directly,atleast let me do something which could bring me a little percent of satisfaction for me. Ye mauka patha nahi kab milegi phir ,so when I'm with her...I want to do everything that's necessary for her.

Om could clearly feel his brother's love filled voice with words.

Om- kabhi kabhi muje lagtha hai ki ,mein bhi aise karunga kya ? Gauri ke liye ?aisa pagalpan?

S- pyaar karthe ho na gauri se ?

Om nodded .

S- tho zaroor karoge uske liye,(he declared with a smile )

Shivaay saw annika coming  out from the buffet area ,

S- ani ?tumne kaana kaaya ?

A- kaana ?I thought I was inside some ...what to say , yeah forest will do .Every food ,dumped with fruits and vegetables...(making wired faces )kuch spicy bhi nahi hai (she complained )The person who preffered this menu must be an ancient early man definitely .(emphasizing)

S- ye kaise doctor bani, health conscious zero hai iski.She isn't going to eat ,I've to do something .(he thought )

A- I think you might like the food ,totally tasteless and weird.

S- ani ,have little of it na .Then I'll prepare anything you would want (he tried convincing her )

A- sach?(showing her little finger for pinky promise )

S- promise (he intertwined his finger with her's)

A- fine ,I will eat .Only little of this ,then you should prepare aloo poori for me ,It should be spicy .(she demanded like a kid )

He felt happy ,atleast this girl is forgetting her anger for sometime .This is what he wanted ,she being her own self with him ,like the ani he knew  .Her wishes are his orders ,and he is extremely happy that somewhere amidst everything they both are still being clutched on together .
