************************************

"Hospital me aloo-puri? Which hospital allows their patient to eat spicy n oily food?" 

      Annika heard this and turned around immediately to find her handsome husband standing there with his charming smile.

"Shivaay....."

      She got up happily and ran towards him. She stood infront of him and looked into his eyes. She missed him so much in last few days. She moved forward to hug him but stopped on next moment as if realising something. She looked away and walked back to the bench where she was sitting before sometime and sat on that.

     On next second she found him sitting near her. She waited for him to say something but he was silent. She looked at him from corner of her eyes and saw tiffin box in his hands. She turned to him and took that box from his hand without saying anything.

"Ek minute, this is not for you."

     Shivaay finally said snatching that tiffin box from Annika and she looked at him first and then at surroundings.

"So for whom? Security uncle? Or some female doctor here?"

      She asked looking at him now.

"How I wish...."

      He murmured and she glared at him.

"It's for Gauri."

      He said looking at front ignoring her glare.

"Gauri??? Are you mad? She is not allowed to eat oily n spicy food."

"Who said it's oily or spicy?"

      He asked turning to her.

"But it's smells like Aloo-P....."

"Aloo paranthe...I made aloo paranthe for Gauri and it's allowed as they are healthy."

      Shivaay said not giving her chance to complete.

"Matlab...matlab sach me paranthe hai?"

      She asked. Disappointment was clear in her voice.

"Of course. What you thought? That I brought Aloo-puri?? Seriously?? Why will I make it? And for whom?? For one mad, careless and Tadibaaz girl like you...kuch bhi..."

      He said again looking at front.

"Ek minute, kyaa bola aapne?"

"Wohi jo tumne suna."

      He replied without looking at her.

"I am mad and Tadibaaz...you said this right?"

      He shrugged his shoulders.

"Why you think that I am mad?"

"Ofcourse you are mad. Most importantly you are impossible. Who just thinks about herself and never try to understand others point of view."

      She looked at him angrily and made him look at her.

"You are talking about me or yourself??...before saying anything to me, first look at yourself. What happened to your all promises? You are breaking them all...AGAIN."

      She said looking into his eyes.

"If I don't know anything how can you expect me to reveal something to you. Truth...you wanted to know the truth,right? But I also don't know anything about it. I asked you to wait and I will tell you once I will figure it out...but you...you thought I am again doing same thing, breaking promises and what not. You didn't even care to call me in last five days."

"And what about you? You are saying as if you called me after every hour. You didn't even tell me about your arrival."

"So it's not only your right to be Tadibaaz."

      She looked at him for a second before looking away.

"I will go and give this to Gauri."

       She said getting up from the bench as she don't want any argument again. She missed him so much, all she wanted to hug him and spend some time with him but he...seems like he is not interested in the same. She was about to walk away but stopped as he held her hand from behind.

"Sit back."

      She heard. She turned to look at him and he pulled her down.

"Gauri is not allowed to eat anything...she is on strict liquid diet. I thought you are aware of that. You are with her all the time, right?"

"But you said it's...."

      She stopped looking at the box in her hand and then looked at him.

"Now do fast... it's hot till now. After sometime it will not taste good."

      She just sat there looking at him without saying anything.

"Open."

      He again said and she finally turned her gaze to that tiffin box. She opened it and aroma of her favourite aloo-puri hits her nostrils. She looked into the box and then at him.

"Why you are looking at me now? Eat it. You are not eating well from last some days. And I don't want to see you on hospital bed again."

      He said and tears formed in her eyes. He looked at her tears and then around.

"Now don't cry or people will think I am that kind of husband who harass his wife. They may think it's one domestic violence case."

      Shivaay said again looking at her.

"Shivaay....."

     She didn't know what to say more. He looked at her tears and moving forward wiped them away.

"Now eat. I don't have problem in feeding you. But I don't want to see our photo on the first page of newspaper tomorrow with some cheesy title. As this is not the right time or we can say situation."

     He said and she smiled through her tears. He too smiled wiping her tears again.

"Khao chalo..."

"What about you?"

"I don't like aloo-puri and you know that."

     He said smiling again.

"I know but your..."

"I ate with Sahil...he was missing us both so thought to eat lunch with him."

"I am also missing...ek minute so he knew that you are here??"

"Yeah...."

"Why he didn't tell me then?"

"Surprise naam ki koi cheeze hoti hai Annika. Now enough of your interrogation...and eat."

      She nodded turning to her aloo-puri and started eating. Shivaay sat their looking at her with love. She finished eating and keeping that box aside turned to look at him. He was already looking at her.

"Thank you...and....and I am s...s...so...sorry."

         He looked at her for a second before replying,

"You are slowly becoming like me. Sorry bolne me itna time?"

     He asked raising his eyebrows. She smiled and then kept her head on his shoulder.

"I don't mind if our picture come on the front page of newspaper."

      She said holding his hand and he smiled. They sat like this for sometime without saying anything.

"Shivaay..."

       After sometime Annika broke the silence.

"Hmm..."

"I am sorry....for shouting on you, for arguing with you. But I was worried for you Shivaay."

"I know..."

      He replied tightening his hold on her hand.

"How are you? And what happened there? Is everything ok?"

"Everything is fine now."

      He replied.

"And..."

"And?"

"What about...umm....what happened to that matter? You said you are trying to find out na?"

"Hmm....I am still trying."

     She looked up at him.

"So tell me now...what's that?"

"I said I am trying Annika."

      He said without looking at her.

"You don't trust me, hai na?"

      She said and he sighed looking at her.

"Annika it's not about..."

"Ok fine. I will not force you. I don't want any argument between us again."

      She said placing her head back on his shoulder.

"I will tell you once we go home. Just one day..give me just one day."

      Shivaay said but this time she didn't reply anything. He kissed on her hairs.

"You said you don't want to come in newspaper."

      She said and he laughed.

"Annika..."

"Hmm..."

"You are angry on me?"

      He asked and she nodded in no.

"Then why you are silent again?"

"Aise hi."

      She said playing with his fingers.

"Ok, so let me say something to make your mood better."

      He said leaving her hand and keeping it on her shoulder.

"What??"

      She replied still not looking at him.

"Meri Jindagi me khushiya sirf tere bahane se hai….Aadhi tujhe satane se hai….aadhi tujhe manane se hai."

     She heard him saying and instantly looked at him.

"So whatever happens always remember that..."

"You remember it?"

      She didn't give him chance to complete. He nodded.

"But I thought you..."

"No way. It's perfect for us, how can I forget about it?"

"But itni hindi?"

"It's about us. And you know I can never forget anything about us."

      Shivaay said and she smiled.

"That was best day for me. You confessed that you still loves me like before."

      Annika said recalling that moment.

"In sleep."

      He said with a chuckle.

"Whatever it is. But that was best moment for me...and you too."

"Me?? Howw? I was sleeping that time. I don't even remember what I said that time."

     He said making faces.

"Not talking about that. Talking about that old couple. You also started thinking about us and our relationship after their indirect advice, hai na?"

      She asked looking into his eyes and he smiled nodding.

"Hmm..."

      She kept her head on his shoulder again.

"Let's go and meet Gauri now."

      He said after sometime. She looked up moving away.

"Yeah...let's go...you know doctors decided to give her discharge tomorrow."

"I know. Om told me."

      He said getting up and held his hand for her. She took it and got up and they walked towards the hospital building. At the entrance Shivaay stopped and Annika looked at him confused.

"What happened??"

      She asked but before he give any answer one police officer stood infront of them.

"Hello inspector Sawant, all good?"

"Hello Mr. Oberoi, so you are back."

      That officer said shaking his hand with Shivaay.

"Yeah...before sometime only."

"That's great. Mr. Oberoi as you requested our whole team is here from last one week. All CCTV cameras we are checking after regular time interval. But we didn't find something odd. Also nothing happened here everything is fine only."

      Inspector Sawant said and Shivaay nodded.

"Yeah. I talked with commissioner and Bhavya. Everything is fine. And thank you so much for your support Mr. Sawant. Now just one day we have to be careful. Tomorrow we are moving to home."

"Yeah...let's see. Our team is at your service till then."

"Thank you."

      Shivaay smilingly said and Mr. Sawant left from there.Shivaay turned to look at Annika.

"Chalo."

      But she didn't move.

"Shivaay ek minute, I want to ask you something."

"What??"

"Why this police protection Shivaay?"

      She said looking around.

"For safety."

     She looked at him.

"I know that. What I want to ask is why? See Samar Shekhawat accepted his mistake also police arrested him. He is in jail right now. And his father, Mr. Shekhawat is also angry with him for his deed. So why this police protection. They are here 24*7 and around whole hospital. Why? I am confused."

       Annika asked the questions for which she was trying to find answers from last one week.

"Annika..."

"Shivaay, why all this? Atleast you can tell me this."

"Annika...I told you na I will tell you tomorrow. If I will get to know about all things then I will tell you each n everything ok...not only this...but not now please."

"Shivaay..."

"Annika, trust me there is no need to worry about anything. Everything is fine only."

"But Shivaay....."

     She stopped as his phone rings. He checked and saw it's from Khanna.

"Annika you go, I will come after attending this call."

      She nodded.

"Ok but tomorrow you are..."

"Pinky promise Annika. I will tell you everything. But for now go. I have to discuss something important with Khanna."

      Annika smiled and left from there.Shivaay answered the call.

"Yess Khanna, you found out something?"

"Yes sir, finally."

      Came Khanna's voice.

"Really? Tell me what?"

"Yess sir. Darjiling. She is in Darjiling right now."

"Darjiling?? Are you sure?"

"Yess sir that's why we didn't able to find her or trace her number."

"But what she is doing there?"

"I think on family vacation..."

"What????"

"Yeah maybe.... because her family is with her...mom, dad and two siblings one brother and one sister both are younger than her. Our guards took some photos of them while they were roaming around with other tourists. And her phone is switched off from that day only when she called you.

"Ohh then how you found out?"

"She called someone in Mumbai...It was just formal call. To her neighbour here. So we tracked all records and find out about her whereabouts. Then I sent our guards there yesterday only and they gave this information."

"Ohh good job...But really she is on vacation? I can't believe it."

"Yes sir. Don't know what she wants to prove. But I think she went there to get saved from police and us."

"Hmm...but...ok leave it for now. Just keep an eye on her activities. But don't do anything. I will talk to commissioner and discuss this with him."

"Ok sir. Our guards are there only."

"Ok, but don't trouble her family, ok? Just keep an eye on them."

"Yes sir."

"And keep informing me."

      Shivaay said ending the call.

"Darjiling, family vacation???....What's all this? To save from police? But already Samar is in jail by his own statement...so I don't think it's for that. But then why?"

       Shivaay was more confused now. But also relieved as she is not here around them. He just don't want Annika to meet her at any cost then he can handle all other things.

"I have to find out more about her and her plans. I am sure she is planning something."

      He said looking at his phone.

Next day,
Oberoi Mansion,

"Now close your eyes and get some sleep."

      Annika said getting up from Gauri's bed and covering her with duvet.

     Gauri nodded closing her eyes. Annika patted on her head lovingly and then turned to Om who was standing near the window looking at both of them.

"You also take rest now Om. You haven't slept well in hospital. Now sleep."

"Ji bhabhi."

     Om said walking towards Annika.

"And if Gauri wake up or if she need anything then call me immediately."

     Annika said and Om chuckled.

"What?"

"I think you forgot you sleep like a log."

"Log?? Ohh now you also don't tease me like Shivaay. Even if I sleep like a log your Shivaay is light sleeper you know that, so don't hesitate to come."

     Annika said. Om nodded.

"Or should I sleep with Gauri here? You go and sleep in our room."

     Annika said noticing Om was still laughing silently.

"I don't have any problem with this...but maybe Shivaay will have."

     Om said winking at her and Annika looked down blushing.

"Good night. So jao."

      She said and went out of the room hurriedly.

"Good night"

      She heard him shouting. She turned.

"Shshh she is sleeping."

     Annika said looking at Gauri and Om zipped his mouth with his fingers. Annika nodded and left from there.

"Now let me go and check maa once. Then I have to talk with Shivaay. Today he have to tell me everything. At any cost."

     She said while walking towards the stairs but stopped as she heard Shivaay's voice. She looked around and realised it's coming from the kitchen.

"What he is doing in the kitchen at this hour?"

      She said and thought to check.
Walking towards kitchen she peeped inside and saw Rudra and Shivaay there.

"What you guys are doing here?"

     She said entering the kitchen and both brothers looked up hearing her voice and smiled at her. Shivaay again got busy doing his work.

"Bhaiya making cold coffee for all of us."

      Rudra answered.

"For all? Almost all people slept Rudra. Om-Gauri, bade papa badi maa, papa and...."

"Yeah I know bhabhi. For all I meant you, me, Bhavya and Sahil only. Bhaiya also had his black coffee so not for him also."

"Sahil is still awake? But I made him sleep before going to check Gauri."

      Annika was confused also worried.

"Is he ok?"

      She asked Rudra.

"Haa bhabhi. But he was feeling bored. So he and Bhavya watching some action movie. And you don't worry we will make him sleep after that."

      Rudra explained everything to get saved from Annika's scolding.

"Ok then good."

     She said looking at Shivaay who was busy in filling glasses with coffee.

"But I don't like cold coffee."

      She said sadly.

"I know wifey."

      Shivaay said with a smile looking up.

"For you Bhaiya made hot chocolate."

     Rudra said.

"Rudra take this for you three. She will have it here only. Also we are going to mom's room after that."

     Shivaay said handling tray to Rudra . Rudra took it and left from there wishing them good night. Shivaay came to Annika.

"For you."

     He said forwarding her mug but she nodded in no.

"I don't want it."

"Kyuu? You love it right? Or should I make something else?"

     Shivaay asked and she again nodded in no.

"I don't want anything Shivaay."

      She replied raising her voice a bit.

"What happened Annika?"

     He asked placing glass on the kitchen counter again and cupping her face. She looked into his eyes.

"You promised that you will tell me the truth."

      She said holding his hand. He sighed.

"I know. And I will tell you. First have it."

      He said again taking that glass from the counter.

"Pakka?"

      He nodded with a smile and then made her drink that hot chocolate.

"It was good."

      She said after finishing the whole glass.

"I know."

      He said wiping some chocolate from her upper lip with his thumb slowly. She looked into his eyes feeling his touch. Shivaay noticed change in her eyes. He came close to her and tucked her hairs behind her ears.

"Annika..."

     He whispered in her ears. His other hand was still on her lips. She hummed in response still looking into his eyes. Both shared an eye lock and Shivaay moved closer to her. Her heartbeats increased.

"My presence, my touches still have affect on you, hai na?"

      He asked looking into her eyes. She didn't say anything. Shivaay inched closer closing distance between them but before their lips meet she moved back and pushed him a little. He looked at her confused.

"What??"

"S...Shivaay....not now. First you tell me the truth."

      She said looking here and there.

"You are such a...ok no complaints now. Promise is a promise."

      He said and holding her hand in his moved towards one small table at the corner. He made her sit on one chair there and he himself sat on another.

"Sorry..."

      She said looking at their hands. He was still holding her hand.

"Why you are saying sorry now? It's nothing new for me. God gave me such a un romantic wife what to do."

      He said dramatically and Annika slapped on his hand. He laughed.

"Ok...now don't tease me for this. We have whole life to tease each other. So kabhi aur majaak udana mera."

      She said and Shivaay who was looking at their hands looked up at her instantly.

"Kya hua?"

     She asked as she saw something in his eyes. He nodded in no kissing on her plam.

"I know there is something. What happened?"

      She asked looking into his eyes trying to find out. He didn't say anything.

"Shivaay...I told you that don't hide anything from me. But you....now tell me what it is? Why your expressions changed? Why you are looking like this? Something happened again? Someone said something? Or it's any dream?

      Annika asked worriedly.

"Shshh shshh...don't stress yourself Annika. You know right, what happened last time?"

     He said placing his hand on her left cheek.

"Tell me Shivaay."

"Nothing Annika. Everything is good. Let's talk about..."

"Shivaay no more lies...please."

      She said holding his hand which was on her cheek. Shivaay looked at her for sometime before looking away.

"Annika...that Gauri's accident...at first I thought...I thought that was p... planned for you."

      He said and then looked at her again. Annika got confused by this.

"Mee??"

      He just nodded holding her hands in his tightly. Annika recalled happenings of that day.

"Shivaay...why you thought like that?"

      She asked again looking at him.

"I...I got phone call before that accident...as...as a warning...and then... Rudra's phone came...so I thought..."

     He stopped as tears formed in his eyes. She removed her hands from his hold and cupped his face.

"But nothing happened to me Shivaay. See I am here with you. And I promised you right that I will never leave you again. So why you are worried about that?"

"But...but what if someone will force you for the same and..."

      She didn't give him chance to complete.

"No one can force me ok? I am Annika...your Annika...who can do anything to be with you. I promised you and this time I will not break it at any cost."

     She said slowly rubbing his cheek with her thumb.

"I know that you will not break your promise again...but..."

      He stopped as she got up from the chair. He looked at her confused. She came towards him and hugged him tightly. He held her waist hugging her back.

"Shivaay, I am here only. With you."

       She said ruffling his hairs. He nodded tightening his hold on her waist. They stayed in same position for few minutes and then slowly Annika broke the hug. She wiped some tears which are about to come from his eyes and then kissed on his forehead lovingly.

"I can't see tears in your eyes."

     She said still holding his face in her hands. He smiled.

"That's my line."

     She too smiled sitting back on her chair and then held his hand.

"Are you fine now?"

      He nodded in yes kissing on her hand.

"You want to tell me about it? If you don't want then I will not force....."

"No...I told you I will tell you tomorrow so I am going to tell you everything now."

     Shivaay said cutting her in between and Annika smiled.

"Then tell me."

"So, let's come back to the main point...you wanted to know about my behavior in the hospital right? Why there was police protection and all after police arrested Samar?"

     Shivaay asked. She nodded in no.

"Haa Shivaay, I wanted to know about that. But now... before that now I want to know why you thought that accident was for me?"

      She asked looking at him with serious expressions.

"Because....that...that call was from P...Pooja."

      Shivaay said looking into her eyes and she was shocked.
