The sound of water splashes wakes her up in the early morning. She woke up and searched for her husband who laid next to her daughter when she saw him last, But now, He wasn't there. It was his t-shirt she was wearing bottomless. She kept her feet in the chilled floor and walked towards the infinity pool nearer to their room. 

He was standing in the edge leaning his arms towards the view of Lonavla. She saw him first, and the view, at last, His thoughts and the way they are leading. The things that happened in the last night shouldn't have happened in their life. He totally lost himself in the guilt, For the first time, She saw her importance in his life through his eyes and words. 

Now, She had to stop him. She sat in the floor dipping her legs in the pool which got his attention, He turned around. She smiled gazing at his shirtless figure. Her gaze provoked the smile in his face. 

"I think you took naina's words seriously. She don't remember what she actually speaks in sleep. You don't really have to wash my scent from your body." - She chuckled. He laughed while looking elsewhere and swam towards her. Her heart started to beat faster when he swam towards her with a smiley face. He reached her knee points and gazed at her. 

"If It's possible, I am ready to seal your scent with myself." - He said keeping his chin in united line of her thighs. She cupped his face and kissed his forehead. 

"You don't have to do that, Because the source of that scent will be there with you forever." - She said with a smile and he pulled her towards the pool and kissed her lips. She smilingly parted her lips and hugged him tighter. 

"I am shameless to tell you that I can't live without you." - He said while kissing her neckline. 

"Same here." - She said while burying her face in the crook of this neck. 

"And also one thing." - He said. 

"Hmm." - She responded. 

"This tee is so transparent on you." - He chuckled. She broke the hug and turned around to searched around. 

"What happened?" - He asked her confusingly. 

"There are no trespassers here." - She replied smilingly. His eyes went wide and held her upwards while she wrapped her legs around his waist under the water. 

"Then why did you act like a virgin that day?" - He asked her while raising his eyebrows. 

"Which day?" - She asked him confusingly. 

"When I come to L.A to meet you. That too, When I asked you to change like a gentleman, You gave a creepy look."- He asked, She smiley wrapped her arms around his neck. 

"You know your dress was too transparent than this t-shirt. Then too, I have been a gentleman. But you narrowed your eyes and asked me to leave from your room, Even I offered you to help." - He asked her with a sheepish smile in his face. 

"Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi. I am your wife, For your kind of information. I agree my husband is a gentleman but unfortunately for other ladies in this world. For you other than me, Ladies exist till their faces but your eyes went out of control when you see me. Other than my facial expression, You notice everything. On that day, Even I wasn't keeping well, I noticed everything. These eyes can't cheat me. How can you expect me to trust you?" - She asked him with the smile which red-handedly caught him.

"This means you can't trust me?" - He asked while increasing the force in her waist. 

"Not in this thing. Your weak point lies here."- She said pointing her index at herself. 

"At last, Someone understood my weak point. It's not only you, Ani. It's you and our kids, You all are my weakness as well as my strength." - He said looking ahead to their room. 

"It's not too late to understand everything. And at last, I got my dream life back." - She said hugging and kissing his earlobe. Sometimes, You have to go through a lot to sustain something in your life. Like the gold burns in the fire to become an ornaments.

 "Nainu. Wake up. It's already eight-thirty, Come on, Baby." - Anika called her while shivaay was in the washroom bathing. She turned around and struggled to open her eyes but eventually woke up and sat up in the bed. Shivaay walked out from the washroom ruffling his hair with the towel, Naina raised her head and widened her arms as soon as she saw shivaay. Throwing the towel at anika's face, He took naina in his arms. 

"Great." - Anika muttered taking the towel from her face. 

"What happened, My love?" - He asked when naina kept her face in his shoulder didn't speak anything. 

"Why didn't you search for me?" - Naina asked him, More like a whisper. 

"Search for you? What happened?" - Shivaay asked her confusingly. 

"Dora kidnapped me on her trip. I thought you will search for me."- Naina whispered to shivaay. He recalled their visit to Dora's house in the amusement park. Naina must have dreamt it. 

"Oh, Yeah. But I thought you have gone with Dora- the Explorer and you would be enjoying so I didn't search for you." - He said in an innocent tone. 

"But I searched for you, You're not there. I cried for you." - Naina replied in a crying tone. 

"Hey, Ne-Nahh... Are you crying, baby?"- He tried to see her face. His tone was bit high. Anika who was folding her kids clothes turned towards their attention, But naina held shivaay's neck tight. 

"I called you, But you didn't reply."- She again cried in his neckcrook. Anika stood up and walked nearer to them and asked him what happened. But he didn't reply. He nodded no with teary eyes. 

"Nainu. Come to mumma." - Anika called her. But she turned around in the third attempt scratching her head behind. Her eyes became swolen in a couple of minutes. Anika widened her arms for naina. Shivaay stayed concerned with teary eyes. 

"Be strong in front of kids, So that they will raise as a strong person." - Anika whispered to shivaay who sat next to naina, Anika sat on either side. She asked the whole story to naina. It was been a problem for naina, she always questions anika about the thing she dreamt, One day, She threw a tantrum to bring aladin's lamp which anika hid it somewhere in her dream. She cried for the thing she lost in her dream. 

"Baby, You dreamt, It's not true. Trust me." - Anika said trying to console her innocent daughter. She held shivaay's arm tightly and leaned on them. Hearing the word baby, Arush peeped his sleepy head from the baby cradle where he was sleeping. Anika chuckled to see him but rushed to him when he widened his arms weeping. 

"Oh my baby, Slept well." - Anika kissed his forehead taking him in her arms. In a fraction of second, Naina was hugging shivaay and went back to their normal state. 

"Look, Naina. You dreamt, You can't ruin the last day of our vacation like this. How come an animated character come out from the television?" - Anika asked her. She turned her head in a jerk and saw her as if she makes sense. 

"Yeah, How come an animated character kidnap you, Nee-naa?" - Shivaay asked her composing himself. Anika sighed disbelief looking at him. But he ignored her completely. 

"Pappa, Promise me." - Naina asked while forwarding her hand. 

"Like father like daughter. Asking promises for no reasons." - Anika passed a comment which was clearly ignored by shivaay and naina but Arush chuckled in Anika's shoulder. Shivaay held naina's hand. 

"Tell me." - He asked her.

"You will come infront of me whenever I call you."- Naina asked, Shivaay smilingly took her palms towards his lips and kissed it. 

"Come, Baby. We have no place over here. Let's go outside and play." - Anika talked to Arush and walked outside leaving her phone beeping in messages inside. Naina took anika's phone from the bed when it's continuously beeping. She opened the lock and kept the phone in silent. 

"Whose that, baby?" - Shivaay asked. 

"Annoyer, Papa."- Naina replied. 

"Annoyer?"- Shivaay asked in confusion. 

**********

The day turned out to be very lazy one when shivaay gave off to the chef's and cooked for them. His food was too tasty and eventually provoke them to sleep, She was sleeping in the couch, having shivaay next to her and naina above him. Arush was sleeping in baby holder next to them. Anika was the one to wake up. She checked the time, It was already seven in the evening. 

"Baby." - She whispered to arush and kissed him in his head. He didn't wake up. 

"Shivaay!" - She tried to wake him up but he didn't wake up. Even naina didn't wake up. She walked towards the kitchen and grabbed herself a bottle of water taking her phone from the lamp stand. She unlocked her phone. Upto her shock, Her phone was on the silent mode. She swiped up the phone and found 64 unread messages from Instagram and 118 messages from whatsapp. She even had notification from twitter. 

"So many messages. How come this much people remember my birthday?" - She murmured and opened the messages one by one. A shocker hit when she saw shivaay and her sleeping together as display picture in both Instagram and whatsapp. It was taken when she fell asleep in the couch with them. 

"No. No. No." - She whispered when she saw their candid romantic pictures posted with caption in the Instagram has thousands of like to it. Even shivaay's Instagram account was spammed by their pics. 

"What the hell?" - She shouted and walked to the couch handling the water bottle. 

"Shivaay. wake up."- She tried to wake him up but he didn't wake up. 

"Shivaay." - She again called him. 

"Shivaay." - She slightly beat him, But he didn't wake up. No other option left, she threw the water in his face in the way it won't splash on naina. He opened his eyes in jerk. 

"What the hell?" - He muttered as soon as he woke up. 

"What the hell is this?" - Anika slammed while switching on her phone. 

"Us..." - He said while supressing his sheepish smile. She couldn't understand anything for a while until she hears chuckle sound from Naina who was acting like sleeping. 

"Naina." - Anika called her. She buried her face in the couch showing her back to her. 

"Did you click the pictures of us?" - Anika asked naina facing shivaay who smiled sheepishly. Naina didn't reply anything but chuckled loudly. 

"What the hell is happening?" - Anika asked for the explanation to shivaay. But he fell down on the floor chuckling, Naina remained chuckling in the couch.
