What's these? I can't take. Keep it yourself. Shivay stepped back neglecting to accept the jewels  Anika offered him.

Don't overreact. It's my mom's jewels Just take it and settle your debt. Anika said forwarding the jewels.

I said I won't. Why are you compelling me?! Shivay shouted pushing her hand.

Push your ego little aside and take these. There's nothing wrong in accepting wife's help.
Anika said and shivay raged.

No thanks. Shivay said sternly making Anika flick in anger.

Your selfish is clashing of accepting wife's help not when the lender degrading you. Anika said angrily turned her face another side.

What are you saying? Did you pick my call when I was not around? Shivay asked raising her brows.

What is this man, can't Wife answer husband's call? Anika asked turning her gaze to shivay.

Wife can do, but not the devil? Shivay raged.

I said I won't take your money. Shivay said determinately making Anika sigh.

Please accept. I can't bear some random man insulting my husband. Anika sighed sadly. Shivay paused listening Anika. He let out a breath and looked at her.

Look. You need to no worry about me nor my feel guilt. I payed your college fee as gratitude of caring my son. You don't need feel guilty. Shivay said.

What are you talking? Did you thought I'm offering my mom's jewels for the college fee you payed. Anika asked disbelievingly making shivay confuse. Hello...That is your duty. I'm nothing to do with that. I'm talking about the money you borrowed from the fire faren lender. He told he will send his men to our house if you didn't settle his debt in two days. Uncle and Aunty also not in home now. So just take this... Anika said and forcefully gave money to shivay.
Shivay sighed. Don't think too much. I will return your jewels back once mom and dad arrive.

                    *****

Shivay entered into his room and found Anika reading her college books. He looked at the clock and it's almost half past 12. Beside her, his son is sleeping snorring cutely placing his head on her thick book.
Haven't gone to sleep yet? Shivay asked Anika clearing his throat.
Exams are coming. I have to study. Anika said peeping her head out. Shivay hummed and walked over to bed taking Advik in hands. He carefully placed him on bed and laid beside him arranging pillows on advik's another side.

In mid night, he got up feeling thirsty. He filled glass with water and drank it. Then he noticed Anika isn't in bed. He lifted his head other side and found her sleeping on the reading position. He slowly detach the book from her hand and carried her in his arms to bed. He carefully placed her on bed and moved to his side not before covering her with blanket.

                    *****

Shivay stirred in sleep hearing the pooja bell sound in early on the morning. He picked a pillow and covered his ear growling irritately. Enough! He threw the pillow on ground and stormed downstairs angrily.

What the hell is happening her? Shivay asked coughingly of the sambrani and agarbatti's smoke there. He waved the smoke before him and found his wife and son doing Pooja infront of idol ringing bell.

What are you saying? Slap your mouth. Slap. Anika panicked slapping shivay's mouth  What? Shivay growled rubbing his mouth.
