Everyone stood from their seats, the occasionally silent conference room where an important meeting was taking place was now felt more like room of gaping idiot. Among all of them Mala was the one who was shocked to the power of infinity. Seeing her Boss tossing out of his chair, his usual calm and dangerous composure was no where seen accept Hyperventilating was the one word used for his expression, he felt like a messed up, worried man. In her five years of job where she was handling this sophisticated man's meeting and schedule she had never seen him leaving in the middle of the conference without uttering a word.

She looked blankly towards the door as it moved like two and fro from which Shivaay had just dashed off, uttering that the meeting as well the deal had been cancelled much to everyone's bewilderment. Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi had just crushed the five hundred million worth deal beneath his feet into the dirt and he wasn't even bothered.

The intercom beeped and Shivaay voice roared through it as he asked Mala to come to him soon at the ground level with his coat which stood untouched hanging on the back side of his chair - which was far enough to bring that feeble girl out of her stance. Apologising on behalf of her boss's unpredictable decision she almost ran to get to Shivaay. The moment she stepped out of the elevator she had seen her boss moving outside of the office while his guard, most probably Khanna was already ready with the car's door open.

Mala almost made a ran towards him and on getting beside him she handed him his coat and had asked almost inaudibly what can she do and Shivaay had whispered incoherently like taking care of the investors and asking them that the deal is cancel and other stuffs. Without uttering a word she just nodded desperately as she couldn't understand what was reason behind his out of the blue action.

Khanna drove as if he was In a race because Shivaay had given him strict orders to take him to home as soon as possible even if it cost them to break some of the traffic rules. Shivaay Singh Oberoi follow rules as per his wishes no one in this whole wide world had the capacity to stop him other then a certain women who had become the most important part of his life and for whom he had been mad all this while.

Clenching his jaw, he made up his mind in giving a good lecture to her because of her carelessness, but on the other hand he also know that his family was enough for her to get her daily dose of lecture and scolding. A small smile spread across his fair handsome face as he thought about the type of bond his wife share with his family but soon that smile was changed into a frown as he realised that he had asked her in the morning to rest a bit but does she listen to him ever? No she needs to do whatever she wants. Thanks to Rudra who had informed him about she had fainted and - - well until then he had already cut the call and was mad to go to home and see how's his wife because he hadn't listened everything his brother said. He just hope she hasn't hurt herself much and was fit and fine.

Khanna stopped the car in front of the entrance after getting impatient response from his over frustratedly sir and before he could get out and open the door for Shivay to come out, he was already out and was now striding towards the mansion like a maniac.

"Annika" Shivaay had whispered softly as he entered their room to see everyone present there expect the elder male Oberoi's who were abroad for a business trip. Gauri was sitting beside Annika who was making weird faces as Pinky fed her hot soup. Dadi was sitting in front of Her accompanied with Rudra who was holding her hand in a tight grip while Bhavya, Omkara as well Janvi had a frown adorning their calm faces.

Shivaay's little bit of worry flew out of the window as he chuckled a bit to see his wife trying hard not to meet the three person's eye and knew that they had just reached from their own work and Annika hadn't got any scolding from them. "Annika, I swear if you'll not finish this soon, I'm going to beat you up" pinky threatened, her voice holding that mixed feeling of warning and worry, "and trust me I'm ruthless at times, ask Rudra he used to get most of the beating from me, hard."

Rudra pouted along with Annika, "I'm your daughter" she whispered.

"Pinky don't care whoever you are, If you'll not take care of yourself from now onwards then I swear to god We Will start behaving like those Indian Serial's Mother in Law" Janvi reported pointing out her finger, pinky nodded while Omkara tried to hide his smile as he saw his wife giving his mom a frightened look and he could already see Bhavya stiffening.

While on the other hand Annika was staring blankly at both her Mother in laws and within seconds she burst out laughing along with Dadi and her two brother in laws while the two elder ladies tries not to join in and looked accusingly at her "Pardon me, but you two aren't going to be like that. Ever" Annika chuckled at last and a smile broke through their lips.

"And this is the reason you all have become so stubborn" Pinky cringed while the rest grinned.

"And this is why I ask you two not to pamper her more" Shivaay said coldly as he entered the room with an angry expression. Annika muttered a 'I'm gone" under her breath while Rudra who was beside her just nodded in agreement because he knew his brother is surely going to give the whole year dose to her adorable sister in law no matter in what condition she is.

"Well, now I know you really were jealous of her?" Pinky grinned with raised eyebrow, "right?"

Shivaay coughed a little as he saw his wife giving him a devilish smirk, "for the first time I had to say that you are wrong mom!" He said as he rubbed the back of his neck occasionally, "why would I be jealous of this unpredictable women?"

"I don't think so" she simply said as she fed Annika the rest of the soup while the person whom the dish was served with much love and care was sending deadly glares with accusatory glances at times to her husband that she didn't even realised that she had all of the soup.

Dadi end the further topic as she advised Annika to take care of herself while Shivaay just tapped his shoes on the pristine white marble floor waiting impatiently for all of them to go so that he could deal with this stubborn women who had scared the hell out of him by her silly stunts.

Moments later everyone went away not before dadi trying to make Shivaay understand not to scold her much while he just nodded calmly with a small smile at the old lady as he could see Annika discreetly giving attention to their conversation.

Annika crosses her leg and made a puppy face in order to please her husband while shivaay royally ignored her and closed the door swiftly. making his way towards her with an emotionless face while she wonder what he is going to tell her next. She groaned internally as she was not in a mood to play 'guess what will my next emotion' right now because he surely loves doing that to her.

Beside she doesn't want to make a guess because the possibility of her thoughts scare her to no end. Taking a deep breath as she saw him away from a feet, she made up her mind to get over whatever he was going to say her.

"Annika, listen" he started as he stepped closer, his voice calm as the sea which gives the prediction of a coming storm, "I Just want - -"

"Yes I know you have told me to take care of myself and I haven't done that but - -"

"Annika Listen to - -" he tried to calm her down as she panic, but he was yet again cut off by his innocent wife.

"But I'm really sorry, you know, I don't like to be in bed and just because o - -"

"Annika" he said once again calmly, now sitting in front of her.

"No, listen to me first, I know you are going to scold me and I'm ready for it but please- -"

"Annika" he was frustrated.

"I'm sorry, like I'm- -" she pleaded cutting him off again and again but he just kept his index finger over her lips and soon it was the end of her constant blabbering.

"God! I got it that you are sorry" he said being amused, a smile adorning his lips, "now could you please hear me out?" He ended it with a raised eyebrow as she looked at him shocked.

Still in shock she just nodded, chuckling at her response he dragged his finger away from her lips and held her face softly, "I just want to know that are you alright?" He asked softly, worry lased his words as he wasn't sure yet how she was because unless and until he hear it from her mouth itself the restlessness will not subside.

"You just wanted to ask me this?" She was bewildered at this response of his.

He nodded, "You okay?" He asked again.

"Yes I'm, all fit and fine in front of you" she smiled cheekily while a frown made it's way to his forehead as the warm blue eyes were turned to a deeper shade. "You need to be careful Annika, it's been only a day that you have been recovered from your Fever" his voice hooded a mixed emotion of anger and distress, "Well I was only stupid enough to leave for office in a hope that you will take care of yourself but I was totally wrong" she sighed as she looked at him in guilt.

Holding his hand over her cheeks she whispered an apology while he just shook his head, "No you don't need to, just take care of yourself, It will be more then enough" his eyes held pure concern for her while she was blessed to have such a caring man in her life. She only know how much she admire this man when he turns into a freaking caring husband.

"Anyways, how was your deal" she asked as she recalled his words from the morning that today he was going to sign a big deal with his USA investors.

"Yeah, I cancelled it" he shrugged off his shoulder as he looked at his watch while she gasped out loud unable to comprehend his words, "oh my goodness! don't tell me that because of my condition you didn't signed the deal and made a rush here??" She hide her face in her palm continuously shaking it cursing herself as well as him.

"Well, that deal doesn't matter to me anymore" he had held her wrist and dragged it towards her lap making her look at him as he saw embarrassment in her cocoa brown orbs.

"But this is ridiculous" she whispered, unable to digest this piece of news.

"What matters to me is that you are fine, okay?" He gripped her hands tightly trying to make her understand, "My biggest treasure will always be you. These small deals are just nothing in front of you, understood?" Leaning in he kissed her forehead tenderly while she just hummed in response.

"You are crazy" she shook her head in disbelief.

"Anything for my lady love" he winked, while she just smack his shoulder in return uttering a stupid as she tried hard to hide the blush which spread across her cheeks in an instant.
