Next morning,
Oberoi Mansion,
Shivika's room,

       Shivaay was standing near the window looking at the pool water. His eyes were blood shot red and his face was red due to anger.

      OmRu and Gauri Bhavya were standing with their heads down. Rudra looked at Shivaay once.

Rudra-"Bhaiya I know that we lied to you but....."

Shivaay-"Not a word more Rudra."

Om-"But Shivaay just listen to us....."

S-"Listen?? Kya sunu mein ha? Tum log jaante bhi ho tumne kya kiya hai?"

Gauri-"Jiju humne toh bas Di ke....."

S-"Naam mat lo uska."

      He said turning towards them.

S-"Tum log...... Kaise kr sakte ho aisa. Haa thik hai abhi galti meri thi but tum log nhi jaante kya kya hua mere saath last 3 months me."

R-"Haa Bhaiya but hum n bhabhi to bas....."

S-"Bas kya????? Tum log jaante bhi nhi ho kitna hurt kiya hai tum logo ne mujhe. Annika ki chodo tumhe nhi laga ki I deserve to know the truth?"

Bhavya-"Bhaiya yeah we know we are at fault. But bhabh ne jo bola woh bhi sahi tha na"

S-"Accha? Kaise sahi tha? Can you explain??"

B-"Woh..... Bhaiya..... Woh....."

S-"I am waiting Bhavya."

O-"Shivaay, tu pehle dhyaan se sun hamari baat gussa baad me kr lena."

S-"Accha? Ab mein gussa bhi na kru?"

O-"Shivaay, calm down. Yes humne tujhse sach chupaya but it was necessary ki....."

S-"It was necessary to hurt more hai na? Pehle se hi itna hurt hai banda aur ek din kr lenge toh kya hoga, hai na?"

O-"Shivaay, calm down Shivaay. Dekh tu bhi maanta hai na ki teri galti thi ki tu gaya bhabhi ko chodkr Singapore."

S-"Haa abhi bhi mein maanta hu ki meri galti thi. Mere hi stupidity ki wajah se mein yaha nhi tha jab meri Annika ki memory wapas aayi thi. But that doesn't mean you have permission to give me punishment for this. Pehle hi jo mili hai woh kya kam hai?"

O-"Shivaay , yeh sab sach hai. Bhabhi tujhse gussa hai kyuki, pehli baat tumne woh chance maanga n she thinks ki uske wajah se bhabhi ki memory gayi. Dusri baat , she is angry because we hide truth from her. Yeah I know we did it for her only. But bhabhi ka kehna hai ki agar tumhara tumhare pyaar pr bharosa tha toh kyu nhi bataya sach, kyuki tu darta tha na ki bhabhi tujhse nafrat kregi, hai na Shivaay? You were selfish that time."

      Shivaay looked at Om and then started thinking. Yeah he was wrong that time. But it didn't mean ki she will hurt him more.

S-"But....."

O-"Let me complete Shivaay, teesri baat, you rejected her proposal and said those all words to her. You knew na she was so hurt by all this. And then you avoided her, you went away from her. You realize your mistake n came back. But think if you didn't realize then?? Tum toh Germany jaane ke ek din pehle aate na?"

      Shivaay started thinking. Yeah whatever Om said that also true.

O-"N main thing, yeh sab wajah se bhabhi gussa thi. N mein bhabhi ke side me hu. Haa we supported you ki hum nhi batayenge. But that proposal time n tum Singapore gaye uske liye mein khud gussa hu."

R-"Haa Bhaiya. N bhabhi just want you to confess by your own. Woh isliye yeh sab nhi kr rahi ki unhe Khushi milti hai n all. Woh aapka dard jaanti hai. N aap abhi bhi khudko guilty maante ho na past ke liye. Toh usliye bhabhi ne yeh kiya."

     Shivaay was looking at them without blinking his eyes.

S-"But what she did yesterday that....."

R-"Bhabhi ne kaha tha ki woh aapko pyaar se daantkar samjhayegi. Ab kal toh bhabhi aapko hints de rahi thi. N irritate kr rahi thi taaki aap bolo jo bhi aapke mann me hai. N bhabhi ne kuch plan kiya hai aapke liye. Aapko batane ke liye. Hume bhi nhi pata ki woh hai kya..... But aaj woh khud aapko batane wali hai."

      Shivaay's mind stopped working now. He don't know what is right n what is wrong. He was so so angry when he got to know that her memory is back n she was doing acting in front of him.

Flashback :-

      After confessing his love Shivaay was feeling so good. Whole night he was just thinking about her. Finally he knew that she loves him and vice versa.

      Next morning Shivaay woke up early. He just can't wait to meet his Annika now. He freshen up and got ready. When he was setting his hairs his eyes fell on her mangalsutra which were on the table. He took that in her hand and dropped one kiss on it lovingly.

Shivaay-"Ab tum ho mere pass. But mujhe meri khidkitod Annika wapas chahiye. Woh bhi jaldi "

      Then he decided to call Dr. Smith and ask him if he is free or not yet.

      Shivaay called him and luckily he picked up the phone. Shivaay asked him if he is free or not so that they can start Annika's treatment. But he heard Dr. Smith's next words and shock would be understatement for him.

Dr. Smith-"Treatment? Is she not ok? Dr. Rakesh called me and said her memory was back now due to one shock. He called me before 4 days."

      Shivaay frozed at his place as he heard those words. Tears formed in his eyes. He thanked Dr. Smith and cuts the call.

      Shivaay's mind stopped working. He was thinking about her yesterday's behavior and then everything was crystal clear to him now.

S-"Annika ne poche ka paani feka, she used her khidkitod language, woh Sholay waali baat, Rudra ne kaha ki Germany jaane ki koi jaroorat nhi, then woh Om Gauri ki baat pr usne jo kaha......n main thing woh car me usne jo bola....."

     Shivaay held his head. Tears were continuously falling from her eyes.

S-"Matlab.....Matlab meri Annika wapas aa gayi hai..... Sach me??? But why she was behaving like this?"

      He thinks for sometime and then he wiped his tears and looked at her mangalsutra.

S-"Yeh sab majaak lagta hai tumhe Annika. Jaanti nhi ho kya tum maine kya kuch nhi saha hai last 3 months me. But tum.....tumhe kuch nhi padi na meri...... Hamesha majaak... majaak..... Yeh bhi tumhare liye majaak hi hai na? Mujhe irritate krna is your favorite hobby I know..... But abhi yeh krna jaroori tha kya? You hurted me so much Annika. You hurted me so much."

      He wiped his tears.

S-"Jo tumhe krna tha tumne kiya. Your memory is back n still you are doing acting na..... Now wait n watch Mrs. Annika Shivaay Singh Oberoi what will your Shivaay do now."

      He said and looked at her mangalsutra.

S-"And I hate you for doing this to me. I just hate you Annika. Baat nhi krunga mein tumse ab."

      He said kissing that mangalsutra.

S-"Iska Matlab ghar me sabko pata hai. Khas krke OmRu and Gauri Bhavya. Acche se khabar leni hai unki tumhare pehle Annika."

      Shivaay decide to confront them and asked one servent to call them in his room.

Flashback ends.....

******************************
B-"Bhaiya jo aapko thik lage woh krna. But bhabhi was right too. Haa kuch galti hai unki bhi. But galat toh aap bhi hai na....."

     Shivaay looked at her.

G-"Aap dono ki bhi galti hai Jiju. Takkar ke Ishqbaaaz ho na toh dono ka sab kuch same hoga na. Pyaar bhi, takraar bhi n galtiya bhi."

O-"Shivaay, I just want to say one thing. Please don't vent out your anger on bhabhi. Pehle dekho what she have planned for you."

R-"Haa Bhaiya please."

S-"Tum logo me se koi nhi batayega use ki I knew everything. Agar kisine bataya na toh mujhse bura koi nhi hoga."

      Shivaay looked at them angrily and left the room.

Annika's house,

      Annika asked Gauri Bhavya to go early. And now she and Sahil were leaving. She wore a beautiful white saree with golden embroidery on it.

      She just can't wait to meet Shivaay. Annika never knew that he will confessed it to her like this. But Shivaay is her bagadbilla.... whatever she thinks, he will do exact apposite to that.

      When he left yesterday after confessing his feelings and after kissing her, she was so shocked n surprised. Her cheeks were still red. She was blushing so hard from night and Gauri and Bhavya were teasing her.

      Now she was on the way to her own home, and she knew from today itself it's her home again.

Annika-"I just can't wait to meet you Shivaay. I want to tell you that I am back. Your Annika is back. I think this is the best Holi gift for you. And I hope you will not feel guilty about anything now. Not now n not in future."

      She and Sahil was now in car and she was thinking about Shivaay, about today's special day when her phone rings. Annika smiled looking at the caller-ID.

A-"Hello Bela, whatever I said is ready or not?..... Oh good good..... Ha I will need them after sometime. Ok I'll call you then send that. Ok bye..... Haa happy Holi to you too."

      Annika cuts the call and looked at Sahil who was also so happy for his sister n his SSO.

A-"I am coming Shivaay. I know at first you will get angry on me. But then..... I just can't wait to tell you Shivaay. I am sorry for yesterday and I promise I will  not do anything like this in future. Pinky promise."

      Annika was busy in her thoughts when driver said that they were reached.

      Annika and Sahil came out of the car and then went inside. Annika saw OmRu and came to them and hugs them.

A-"All set?"

      She asked in low voice. They just nodded looking at Shivaay. Shivaay was standing in the corridor of first floor. The moment he felt her presence ,he came there.

      When she entered into the mansion Shivaay looked at her and tears formed in his eyes. He just wanted to go n hug her but...... What she did yesterday he was so angry on her. But then he thinks about OmRu's words. And he was confused about  what to do n how to talk with her.

      Shivaay was busy in his thoughts while looking at her. When Sahil spotted him.

Sahil-"SSO come down."

      Annika whose eyes were searching Shivaay looked up and there eyes met. Annika smiled but next second her smile faded as she knew something was wrong.

      Shivaay came down. There eyes were still locked. Shivaay came to them. He looked at her for last time n broke the eyelock and then turned his gaze towards the Sahil. Annika knew something was wrong with him.

S-"Hello Sahil, happy Holi"

Sa-"Happy Holi SSO."

      Shivaay smiled and ruffled his hairs and again looked at Annika. She smiled sweetly and was about to say something but he left from there. Annika called his name but he didn't stop. She looked at OmRu and asked through eyes but they just say they don't know.

      Annika was confused but she thinks he was just irritating her as she did yesterday. 

      So she left from there to do some work after taking blessings from elders. OmRu and Gauri Bhavya also left from there to get ready as guests will come at any moment. Only daadi, Shinky n Tejvi was there.

Pinky-"Something is wrong between them"

Jhanvi-"Hai na?"

Tej-"I think something happened between them"

Shakti-"Again fight??"

Daadi-"Kuch toh hua hai. I think Billu ne kal kuch maana nhi."

P-"Yeh Shivaay bhi na abtak darr raha hai."

J-"Ab use kya pata Pinky ki Annika ab thik hai. Toh woh aise hi krega na??"

T-"But we have to do something."

Sh-"What?"

D-"I have one plan"

Sh-"What??"

D-"(muted)"

All-"Whattt?"

J-"No no no mummiji"

T-"Woh kya sochenge?"

Sh-"N Kyu help krenge hamari?"

P-"Kyu nhi krenge jaroor krenge. N I think isse Shivaay bhi maan jaayega. Annika ki tensions hi durr hogi."

D-"Toh it's final. Chalo Pinky call them."

      Daadi said and then they discuss about the plan and left from there.

After sometime,

      Annika was searching Shivaay everywhere but he was no where to be seen. Finally she saw him near the main gate outside the mansion. She went to him and about to say something when he left from there. He decided he will talk with her but after her so called surprise about which OmRu were talking.

A-"Inhe ho kya gaya hai. Natak kr rahe hai ya sach me kuch hua hai. OmRu bhi kuch nhi bata rahe n Gauri-Bhavya bhi. Kahi sach me kuch....."

      She came back from her thoughts when he saw Aarav with his mom n dad. Annika smiled and came to them. She greeted them and came with them to the main hall and introduced them to all.

      Shivaay was not there. He went to his room to change his clothes.

Mr. Raichand-"I want to say something."

D-"Haa boliye na..... Pinky where is Shivaay?"

P-"He is coming mummiji."

D-"Ok tell him to come fast. Aap boliye na"

Mr. Raichand-"Haa toh mein kya bolna chahta hu , dekho Aarav n Annika kitne acche dost hai. Toh mein chahta hu ki yeh dosti kisi bandhan me bandhe. Mein chahta hu ki Aarav n Annika ek dusre se Shaadi krle."

      Annika and Aarav looked at him and then at each other shocked. OmRu and Gauri-Bhavya were confused.

R-"O, yeh kya hai? Bhabhi ka plan??"

O-"Why will she plan something like this Rudy. Annika bhabhi ko pata hai ki Shivaay ko bhi pata hai that Mr. Raichand knows about their marriage."

R-"Oh ha..... Phir what's this?"

O-"Kya pata?"

A-"Uncle aap jaante hai na ki....."

Mrs. Raichand-"Tum dono ki jodi kitni acchi lagegi, hai na Pinky ji"

A-"Aunty aap meri....."

Mr. Raichand-"I know beta ki tum dono acche dost ho isliye mein chahta hu ki tum aur Aarav Shaadi krlo."

        "Shut up. Stop this nonsense right there" They heard a loud angry voice. They looked at the voice and saw Shivaay was standing there.

       He was looking so angry. He came to Annika and held her shoulders tightly.

S-"Aur kuch krna baaki hai??"

      He asked angrily looking at her eyes.

A-"Shivaay mein....."

S-"Kya chahti kya ho tum? Kitne logo se jhut bulwaogi Annika??"

A-"But Shivaay mein......"

S-"OmRu yeh plan hi iska? Jiski tum log itni taarif kr rahe the??"

      He said looking at OmRu.

A-"Plan?? Shivaay what are you....."

S-"Just shut up"

      He roared and looked at her angrily. She was so scared by his looks. He looked at her for few seconds and then left her shoulders. He then looked around and saw different colors were placed on the table. He went there and came back with red color plate. All were looking at him shocked. Annika looked at him and then at that plate. Shivaay took a pinch of that red colour and filled it in her partition directly looking in her eyes. Annika frozed on her place. She was looking at him, his eyes were already fixed on her. Tears formed in her eyes.

      Shivaay moved back and looked at her face and then looked at that sindoor. Then he throwed that plate angrily on the floor and said,

S-"I love Annika, She is only mine. She is my wife."

      He said looking at others and then looked at her. She was too shocked but his sudden confession. She didn't get anything. She looked at him with questiong eyes.

S-"You are happy now? Yaa aur bhi kuch nautanki krni hai tumhe."

A-"Maine...... Maine kya...."

S-"Kuch nhi kiya tumne, hai na?"

     Shivaay said coming towards her and she stepped back looking at his face. She was so scared. Shivaay closed his eyes to control his emotions.

      Pinky came to them.

P-"Shivaay  kya hai kr raha hai tu?"

S-"Mein..... Mein kya kr raha hu?? Yeh pucho ki aapki yeh bahu kya kr rahi hai?"

      He said looking at Annika who was still in the shock.

P-"Kya kiya Annika ne?  Itna gussa kyu hai tu?"

S-"Pucho isse kiya kya isne..... Memory wapas aa gayi phir bhi batana jaroori nhi samjha mujhe."

     As soon as he said that Annika looked at him. He was looking at her angrily. Annika turned her gaze towards OmRu and they just nodded.

S-"Woh bataya nhi toh nhi. Upar se game khel rahi hai. Kal kitna irritate kiya isne mujhe n aaj toh saari hadde paar....."

P-"Arre Shivaay....."

S-"Tumhe pata bhi hai Annika Mr. Raichand ko pata hai ki tum meri biwi ho. Phir woh yeh Kyu kahenge??? Bolo? Tumne hi laata hai na unhe yaha yeh drama krne. Taaki mein maan jau. Dekho you are successful in it. Maan liya maine ki tum meri biwi ho. But yeh toh mein Kal raat bhi bol raha tha na.......Tab bhi nhi sach bataya.......oh haa bhul gaya tum kuch special plan kr rahi thi na mere liye..... Yeh hai tumhara special plan woww"

      He said looking directly into her eyes. Annika now got it why he was angry but she didn't call Mr. Raichand for all this. She just called them to celebrate Holi with them.

      Pinky was shocked she looked at daadi and other senior Oberois. They were also shocked.

S-"What happened? Ab bolo kuch Annika. Plan successful hua na tumhara and....."

D-"Billu stop....."

      Daadi said and came to Shivaay.

D-"Billu isme Annika ki koi galti nhi hai."

S-"Daadi please aap iski galti....."

Mr. Raichand-"Shivaay, maaji is right. Annika ko toh yeh sab pata bhi nhi hai."

S-"Whattt?"

      Pinky and daadi explained him their plan and Shivaay was too shocked to react. He just looked at Annika who was silently crying looking down.

P-"Shivaay pehle puch toh leta na. Haa Annika ne nhi bataya tujhe kal kyuki woh aaj batana chahti thi na. N hum sabne use support kiya hai. Toh tujhe jo bhi bolna hai humse bol."

      Shivaay closed his eyes and he was regretting now. He was just looking down.

      Mr. Raichand said that they will leave now n come back at the time of Holi celebration. Daadi nodded and Raichand family left from there.

D-"Billu itna bhi koi chillate hai kya apni wife pr. Tujhe yeh pata chal gaya na ki uski memory aa gayi hai toh yeh bhi pata chal gaya hoga na ki woh abhi bhi Puri tarah se thik nhi hai. Phir bhi yeh kiya tumne?"

      Daadi asked him and he was just looking down. Tej asked her to calm down n then asked everyone to go n see arrangements. All nodded and left from there. Only Pinky,  Shivaay and Annika was there now.

P-"Annika tu aa mere saath"

      Pinky held her hand and went outside of the house with Annika. Before leaving Annika looked at Shivaay who was looking down.

A-"Maa....."

P-"Shshhhh..... Give him some time. You can talk with him later."

A-"But....."

P-"Annika he is so shocked now n so you are. So just wait for sometime then ek dusre ko milna. Abhi nhi."

      Pinky said and Annika nodded sadly. Shivaay looked at their direction and then he closed his eyes. He don't know how to react now. He just sat there on the sofa with thud holding his head in his hands.

      He sat there for sometime. He was resting his head on the sofa and his eyes were closed when someone called him. Shivaay opened his eyes and  looked up. There was one servent standing with one man.

Servent-"Sir he came to meet Annika mam"

      Shivaay looked at that man confused.

Man-"I just came to deliver this to Annika mam."

      He said showing one box which was in his hand.

S-"Give me"

Man-"Sirf Annika mam ko dena hai "

S-"I am her husband give it to me."

M-"Oh I am sorry sir. Take this. N please deliver it to Annika mam as soon as possible. Already I am late."

      Shivaay just nodded and that man left with servent. Shivaay looked at that box. He opened it n there was one book.

S-"What's this? It's looking like some album"

      He pulled out that book and looked at it. He was shocked when he read that title on the book. "Annika ka Shivaay"

      Shivaay just traced that name with his fingers and a small smile crept on his lips. He then opened it to look what's there inside that book.

      Shivaay frozed at his place and his hands was shivering. He was crying continuously while looking at that book. Shivaay closed that book after reading it. He just hugged it tightly and started crying.

      After sometime he wiped his tears and kissed on that album. He then stood up.

S-"Annika....."

      He ran outside as Pinky and Annika went outside of the house before sometime. Shivaay came to the lawn but she was not there. He came to the parking area but she was not there. He ran inside again and came to main hall but she was not there. Then he went to mandir but she was not there too. He checked whole house but she was no where to be seen.

S-"Kaha ho sakti hai??...... Room..... Haa room"

      He ran to their room.

Shivika's room,

      Shivaay came inside and called his name.

S-"Annika....."

     He said looking around. But she was not there. Then his eyes fell on the wall behind their bed. Their painting was hanging there. Shivaay smiled.

S-"Kaha ho tum?"

     He said and then looked at the pool side. He ran to the pool side. But he was disappointed as she was not there too.

S-"Yaha bhi nhi hai"

      He said sadly and turned to go back to room. He started  walking when he heard,

      "Apne biwi ki taraf dekhoge bhi nhi" Shivaay heard her voice and stopped there. Tears formed in his eyes and he turned around. He looked here and there and spotted her near one corner. She was sitting on the floor and was crying looking at him. He looked at her eyes and their eyes locked with each other. Both were crying badly. Shivaay ran towards her and fell on his knees in front of her. Still they were looking at each other without blinking eyes. Annika brought her hand towards his face and was about to touch his face but he removed her hand and lies on her lap and hugged her waist. Annika was startled by this. She was in shock. She came back in her senses when she heard his voice. He was crying so badly hugging her waist tightly. He was holding her so tightly that it hurted her. But she wiped her tears and kept her hand on his face.

A-"Shivaay....."

      Shivaay was crying more loudly now. Tears started falling  from her eyes too. She held his face by one hand and by one hand she was ruffling his hairs.

A-"Shivaay..... Stop...... Stop crying please."

      But he didn't listen. He was still crying but now he was only sobbing.

A-"Shivaay..... Shivaay look at me."

      But he didn't move from his place and hugged her more tightly. Annika bend her head and kissed on his ear.

A-"Shivaay..... Ek baar dekho to meri taraf..... Yahi hu mein kahi nhi jaanewali"

      She said in his ears. And still he didn't utter a single word. Annika rested her head on his still in the same position. And they both sat there like that for sometime.

      After sometime , Shivaay stopped crying. And Annika once again asked him to look at her.

      He left her waist and turned his head to look at her. His eyes were red due to crying n showing so much pain. He just looked at her face and she bend down and kissed his forehead and eyes. Shivaay closed his eyes feeling her touch. He then opened his eyes and looked at her.

S-"Kyu?? Kyu krti ho tum aisa hamesha??"

      She just smiled and wiped his tears and asked him to get up. He get up from her lap and hugs her again.

A-"Shivaay everything is fine now."

S-"No nothing is fine. I.....I hate you."

     Annika smiled.

A-"Hmm I know. I love you more."

      His hold on her tighten and he kept his face in the crook of her neck. Annika was patting his back and saying sweet nothings in his ears. After sometime he broke the hug and looked at her eyes for some seconds. He then cupped her face and kissed her forehead , then kissed her eyes, and then he kissed everywhere on her face. He was still crying and she too.

A-"Shivaay....."

S-"Hmm....."

      He said kissing her forehead again.

A-"I..... I am sorry"

      Shivaay who was about to kiss her eyes stopped and looked at her.

S-"Phir tum mujhe chodke jaogi na toh mein kabhi bhi tumse baat nhi krunga. Kabhi bhi nhi..... Dekhunga bhi nhi tumhari taraf."

      He said like small kid and Annika laughed. She then looked at her left side and picked that diary which she found on their bed below his pillow. Shivaay looked at that n then at her.

S-"Yeh..... Yeh meri diary"

A-"Ab hamari hai"

      Shivaay looked at her confused and she asked him to open it. He did it and looked inside the diary. His eyes betrayed him again and tears started falling from his eyes. He was surprised, shocked when he read that diary.

Precap :- Holi with Mr. and Mrs. Oberoi 😍😍😍
