"Everything is set Yuvraj? The Chief guest and Guest of honor would be there in a while." The teacher incharge asked Yuvraj who was handling everything. Being the head of student council he had quite a lot of responsibilities.

"Don't worry Sir, everything is set. Annika and I will welcome the Chief Guest while Bhavya and Rudra will welcome the Guest of Honor. Badshah Sir would be received by Abhimanyu and Akshara. The bouquets are ready too. After the lightening of oil lamp we shall start the function." assured Yuvraj

"Good, what about the comfort of parents?"

"Sir the student council is taking care of it and is checked over by Bhavya and Dhruv. Also sir for the Oberoi family we have made special preparation beside Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi. Even the backdancers are made comfortable behind the stage" He added and the teacher nodded dismissing him.

That's when Mihir who along with his group was entitled to operate the music system and graphic control walked toward him "Yuvi yar there is a problem, Annika changed the song for her solo performance in the last moment along with the graphics that should be played behind."

"So?  What's the issue? Just do as she says." Yuvraj replied with a casual yet firm voice.

"Yuvi but this can create a problem. She haven't practiced on that song and even stage art professor would be pissed off knowing this." Mihir tried but Yuvraj didn't budged "Just play the song which Annie asked rest I will handle and yes if teacher asked take my name not her."

Mihir just looked at him as if he had gone crazy "Are you serious? You are ready to take the entire risk for that girl." Yuvraj frowned at the reference "She isn't any girl. She is Annika and for me she is worth all the risk. Now just go and do as she said. I am warning you if Annika's name reached to any professor none would be worse than me."

Mihir nodded knowing very well that Yuvraj is capable of what he said. He belonged to one of the elite families and even in college held quite powers by being the head of student council and a Professor's favorite.

Meanwhile on the other side Annika was getting ready but her mind was somewhere else. Her day didn't start quite well because today Shivaay scolded her for being so hesitant with him.She didn't took the participation fees from him instead paid it from her own savings,  the one given by her parents.

She just didn't knew how to ask him for more money when he was already doing so much for her also she had money so she didn't found the need to ask him but when he got to know he was pissed and he blamed her for always treating him like a God.  What could she do? She just see her God in him!

He had been avoiding her calls and messages since then and it was quite upsetting for her. She was just too used to his attention and sweetness thus this rough and cold behavior was unconsciously causing tears in her eyes.

She wiped a lone tear that escaped her eyes with determination to ask his apology and convince him. She won't give up until he forgives her.

She corrected her attire which she had to wear to welcome the Chief Guest who is none other than her own husband. Shivaay Singh Oberoi!

She wasn't quite comfortable with these western outfits but then it wasn't her choice, each dress was finalized by the organizing team and she and Yuvraj had to color coordinated for the welcoming event.

She tried to pull the dress as much as possible but it wasn't helping, no matter what it will end up above her knees and to add to this are these annoying heels. Her life can't suck more!

She was interrupted by Natasha "God girl you look like a barbie" She complimented and Annika passed a thank you and a smile. "I am sure Shivaay would get flat on you."

Annika looked at her shocked before composing herself "Wh---at what do you mean?"

"Stop pretending Annika, I know there is something going between you guys. Just tell me the truth." She demanded and Annika looked at her acting confused "What are you saying Nuts, there is nothing like that. Now get ready the program would began soon."

"Really you don't know?" She asked with a mock smile "What's this than?" She showed her a picture.

Annika kept looking at the picture and Natasha "I clicked it day before yesterday when you ran away seeing me dancing with Shivaay although I didn't heard anything but this picture clearly says that there is something going on between you guys?"

Annika gulped but didn't answered. She didn't knew what to say. Clearly if she reveal that she is married to him the things would change and even the  bonding between them. She doesn't want to loose this neither want to go against Shivaay's order.

"Okay fine you won't tell me right, i will make sure this is the first picture that is displayed on the screen in today's program than both of you have to answer the world itself." Natasha turned to leave when Annika said something that shocked even her.

"I love Shivaay!"

Natasha stood rooted there but more than her it was Annika who herself was shocked with her own words. She loved him? Was she allowed to?

A big smile formed on Natasha's face who immediately hugged Annika "I so knew it. The way you always looks at him and blush at his reference. Why didn't you tell this before Anu?"

Annika didn't replied anything, she was way shocked by her own words and realization to hear what Natasha was saying "If you are thinking we would have made an age issue than you know me. I have this wild fantasy of age difference. I would have accepted the fact. It just upset me that you didn't shared."

Annika came out of her daze and gulped her already dried throat "You aren't upset? I mean you kind of have crush on Shivaay" She asked trying to divert her mind with the realization. She had deep feelings for her husband enough to somewhere name it love but she can't let it take a toll over her and expect Shivaay to have the same feelings back. He had already done too much for her!

"Why would I be upset? Yes I do have crush on Shivaay and I still have but my feelings are just an innocent crush that I must have had I don't know on how many men and celebrities but you love him girl." Annika looked down as the thought of loving him once again clouded her mind.

"But he doesn't love me-------" Annika trailed down unknowingly as a tear slipped her eyes and Natasha immediately cupped her face "Hey what do you mean he doesn't love you? Are you guys not dating? Okay I understand it's just the initial phace and you guys are confused. Just relax Anu he does love you. I have seen that in his eyes, the way he looks at you. He just haven't realized it or confessed. And anyway he won't get any better girl than my Anu in this entire world."

Annika looked at him with a faint smile. Was it anyway possible that he ever love her? Would it be too much to expect him to love her like somewhere she started to do?

"Now cheer up and give me a hug. I am so happy for you." Natasha pulled Annika in a hug and Annika would be lying if she said that it didn't uplift her mood. Friends are love!

Still somewhere she was guilty of not revealing to Natasha that she is married to him!

"And don't worry I won't tell about this to anyone until you want Okay?" Natasha assured and Annika nodded. They were disturbed by a knock at the door following which Yuvraj walked inside dressed in his white and black tuxedo looking every inch of a gentleman.

He looked at Annika for a minute, his eyes glistening up with appreciation "You look breathtaking gorgeous Annie. "

"Thank you. You are looking handsome too" Annika complimented him with a smile and Yuvraj couldn't help but be flushed by this simple comment. She had such an effect on him!

Natasha looked at him for a minute before bending toward Annika's ears to whisper "By the way apart from Shivaay I am feeling like this Yuvraj is also turning a majnu for you Laila."

Annika hit her with her arm "shut up it's nothing like that. Yuvraj is just a friend." Natasha gave a 'we will see look' before they were interrupted by Yuvraj "What's going on? Anyway leave it Annie let's go, The Chancellor is coming along with Oberoi Family and Guest of Honor. Rudra and Bhavya are waiting for us."

Annika nodded and wiping her face a bit and correcting her make up, she picked up the huge bouquet brought for the Chief Guest aka her husband.

Meanwhile on the other side Shivaay met Mallika outside who passed a small smile to him before greeting the entire Oberoi who complained about her cutting contact with them. Shivaay knew he would meet her today. This was one of the reason he was tensed for and indirectly lost his temper on Annika. He was meeting Mallika after three years of that night. A night that changed everything what they had in between!

"This wasn't fair Mallika, you just can't leave without any contact and reason?" Om complained and Mallika passed a apology "Sorry guys just some personal life issues and you know me I generally runaway from my problems. After years I am trying to face it" She said giving a look to Shivaay who looked away guilty.

The Oberoi family nodded in understanding not wanting to pressurize her over her personal space. The chancellor and group of teachers walked them through the pathway toward the auditorium when Shivaay joined Mallika.

"I am sorry." He apologized to which Mallika looked at him with a faint smile "Why should you be sorry? It was my fault. I should be grateful of you to behave so well with me despite what happened that night between us."

Shivaay signed before asking "So how is life going on? Anyone special?" Mallika chuckled sarcastically "You know that's not easy Shivaay. Feeling aren't like a button which you can turn on and off whenever you like."

Shivaay smiled sadly looking at the road while the Chancellor shared words to Tej more like complained to him about Rudra's mischief.

"So anyone special in your life?" Mallika asked after a pause and a smile formed on Shivaay's face thinking about Annika, her thought can make him smile even when he is mad at her!

"Yes" He relied honestly while Mallika noticed his facial structure and asked a question "You love her right?" She asked but before he could reply she spoke up with a sad smile "No need to reply, I would prefer not hearing it from your mouth at least."

Shivaay nodded in understanding and soon they reached in the auditorium with the announcement done by students that the Chief guest and Guest of Honor had arrived. Everyone stood up in respect and four students walked toward them. Shivaay identified Rudra, Bhavya and Yuvraj but it took Shivaay a good one moment to actually believe that the girl he was seeing is his wife. She looked God damn hot and beautiful and gorgeous and-----ahh he doubt his own vocabulary now.

This was so not done, she can't look so tempting when he is trying to stay angry on her main word 'trying'.

"Shivaay close your mouth, I know she looked quite tempting but you can't drool on a student right?" Shakti teased his own son doing a low hii-fii with Om as Shivaay glared both of them.

Annika passed her gorgeous smile toward him and Shivaay felt his entire anger and annoyance flew away in second. He received the bouquet from her, his eyes not leaving her even for a minute and even his intense gaze had the capability of making her blush.

He couldn't be more proud of himself, first the fact that this breathtaking angel is his wife and second only he in the entire cosmos is the person who could make her blush. Lucky man!

His eyes then fell on Yuvraj who passed him the welcome gift and looking him color-coordinated with his wife his frown was back. Yes he can stay angry all he had to do is look at this idiot!

Well even he was a bit color coordinated with her with the white shirt and black Italian tuxedo but still he can't bear the way Yuvraj looked at his wife. Being a man himself he can very well understand that gaze of appreciation!

Annika looked at Shivaay who looked as usual perfectly sculpted in his ridiculously expensive Tuxedo adorned with white crystal brooch on tie. God had spend quite a time to make this man!

Her eyes then fell on the lady beside who was apparently Mallika Kabir Chaudhary. She was talking to Rudra but time to time her gaze would come over to Shivaay. Being a woman herself she could understand the feeling that look depicted. It held guilt, pain, longing and maybe love. The thought itself was too unsettling for Annika!

The function began with lightening of Oil lamp followed by Abhimanyu's performance marking the beginning of event STARDUST. This was followed by a brief history of the college from Bhavya and Rudra. After which Bhavya introduced the Chief Guest, Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi and gave a detailed explanation about his professional achievements. Rudra then introduced the Guest of Honor Mallika Kabir Choudhary giving  details of her professional achievements.

"Well I know my dear friends you would be bored and jealous with the professional achievements. Somewhere in the mind you must be thinking why do these guys have to be so damn perfect. I can understand the feeling guys, being the brother of Shivaay Singh Oberoi I am just fed up of listening 'just look at your brother how successful he is and you?'" Rudra said overdramatically as the students chuckled while Shivaay rolled his eyes. He knew this is the addition done by his own brother.

"Well this doesn't affect me at all, you know why because I am like this only and my brothers love me this way itself." He passed a loving smile to Om and Shivaay who smiled back while an awe passed over the hall. The love of Obros was nothing hidden.

"Now to lessen the inferiority complexion, I would tell you some back drop of my dear brother and our compulsory idol in the college Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi after each performance." The group cheered while Shivaay mentally facepalmed himself cursing whosoever decided his brother as the host.

"So to began with Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi have a very bad control on his anger. He breaks his phone now and then. No phone can stay with him for more than a week. Last time I counted the number reached to 894 phones also let me tell you my maths is weak so the number can be way more" The entire hall burst out into whistles, haww and giggles listening to this while Shivaay threw daggers through his eyes at Rudra.

"Well now before my brother kills me ones again with his eyes let get started with the performances." He chuckled as Bhavya took over "Well classical dance is like being a mother: until you have experienced it you can't imagine how hard yet beautiful it is. So to began the series of event we have our college sweetheart Natasha Agarwal depicting the beauty of Indian classical dance in her flawless moves on the iconic song Breathless.

"That was indeed beautiful and amazing, I never thought Nuts could go so good." Rudra joked as they ones again came over the stage "By the way Bhavya just imagine if you are a college student as in a boy------"

"Wait a minute why would I be a boy?" Bhavya asked perplexed to which Rudra frowned "Idiot I just asked you to imagine hypothetically. You are a handsome man not more than me of course who have quite a good female fan following what would you do?"

Bhavya kept thinking when a boy from the audience spoke up "Of course would hook up with them one by one." The hall burst out in a fits of giggle along with the people behind the stage that included Annika as well.

"Exactly bro, but my brother happen to be so naive with handling girls that even after having almost all the girls after him thanks to his beautiful eyes the man never dated a girl." As he revealed this Shivaay's cheeks turned red with embarrassment while the hall was full of laughter and an awe from the girls.

On the other side Annika was suprised to hear this. She thought Mallika and Shivaay had dated ones and have later broken up due to some reason, now knowing that he never dated someone was a huge relief although the look in Mallika's eyes she saw an hour ago was yet disturbing.

"Yes you heard it right. And the weirdest part is my brother actually get scared of Valentine day." This led out yet another round of laughter before Bhavya took the control "Okay enough of you roasting him. Now we shall move to the next performance which is a drama on the business satire of our country."

After the drama ended Rudra and Bhavya ones again came on stage with Rudra carrying his usual grin "So guys the third back drop of Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi is that he is a pathetic singer. He isn't bad he is very bad in singing." Shivaay groaned while others chuckled. Is he really the Chief Guest here!

"After the marvellous dramatic act we have our most loved couple in the college Mehar and Siddhanth to raise the temperature with their marvellous chemistry." Bhavya announced hitting Rudra's arm.

"Wasn't it hot guys?" Rudra asked as the entire student crew hooted and whistled together. "Siddhanth is one lucky guy right?" The hall echoes with giggles.

"Well now coming to another back drop of my brother, well despite being so successful he himself cook breakfast for everyone in our family. Like why would you study so much to become a cook." This time instead of giggles it was a loud appreciative awe from the girls in the college.

"Okay that wasn't a good point." Rudra bit his tongue while Shivaay gave him a smirk. Bhavya again chided him before announcing "Well now to take the event forward, we have our next solo performance by our much loved friend Annika."

Listening this Shivaay grew attentive, despite being mad at her he just can't help but be excited for her performance. The curtains opened and Annika was on the stage dressed in a blood red long skirt with a black above the waist crop top. She looked like an eternal beauty. A Goddess, to be particular his goddess.

She gave him a look which confused Shivaay for a moment but as soon as the song played he knew the reason very well. A stupid grin formed on his face as he rubbed his forehead in God knows what emotions.

He looked at her as the lyrics played and unconsciously he felt himself melted under that effort. How gracefully she just conveyed what she felt. She can't help but see her God in him!

At the end of the song Shivaay was going to whistle like the other boys out there when Tej held his hand "I know she was gorgeous and this song was dedicated to you but my boy you aren't a student and a Chief guest whistling over the performance of a girl doesn't sound good right?"

Shivaay groaned but yet clapped to all his might which was noticed by Mallika as she was sitting beside him. Rudra and Bhavya once again walked on the stage "What a  graceful act, you can't remove your eyes even a second from it."

"True so now before we move ahead we declare a short break for all our guest and students. Kindly move toward the dining area, our friends would serve you out there. We request our Chief Guest, Guest of honor and the Oberoi family to kindly move toward foir for the tea break along with the respected teachers." Bhavya announced as everyone started moving toward the dining area while the Chancellor guided Shivaay, Mallika and Oberoi Family toward the foir.

After about fifteen minute an impatient Shivaay who couldn't wait to meet his wife after that beautiful performance excused himself for an important call. He moved toward the auditorium once again replying to all the greetings from various students and parents. He reached the back stage and checked for the green rooms where at one gate he saw Annika written over. Checking left and right he entered straight inside and saw Annika sitting facing the mirror taking out her earrings.

"Nuts did you got the refreshment?" She asked without turning up as Shivaay walked toward her and when Annika looked up not getting any reply she saw Shivaay standing right behind her with a smirk on his face.

"You?" She stood up with a jerk, her eyes wide in surprise and amusement "Well wifey must say you came up with a great idea to convince your husband don't you?"

Annika blushed looking down as he chuckled picking her chin up with his index finger forcing her to look at him. "You know how difficult it is to stay angry with you adding to that these adorable steps to convince me?"

"You aren't angry anymore?" She asked meekly looking into his eyes which dilated seeing her serene face. He was now angry on himself for getting mad at someone so innocent and adorable.

He was going to kiss her forehead to  assure her when there was a knock at the door "Annie have you changed? Even if not come out soon I have got the refreshment and everyone is waiting for you in the joint room." hearing Yuvraj's voice Shiavaay frowned again. This boy was seriously getting on his nerves.

"Coming Yuvi" Annika replied in an emergency before Yuvraj get to know that Shivaay is inside her changing room but her simple act of calling Yuvraj with a nickname didn't go well with Shivaay. His possessive freaky side taking a toll of his composed form.

"I am so done with this idiot, he can't just go on disturbing my moment with my wife and always flirting with her. I am going to tell him you are my wife and he should stay away from you." He practically yelled and Annika's eyes turned wide listening to him. If Yuvraj get to know than the entire college will get to know.

He turned to go when Annika held his hand "Shivaay-----" Shivaay interrupted her "No Annika I had enough of this hot blooded kid. I am gonna show him his position today itself."

Without thinking about much Annika pulled Shivaay toward her and kissed his cheek freezing him there itself.

Annika eyes turned more wide realizing what she did. How can she kiss him?  What would he think of her?

"I---I--am sorry"

She muttered and ran away before he could even regain his composure. It took him a good five minute to actually come over the dazed feeling of her lips on his cheeks. A smile formed on his face as his finger grazed the area she kissed.

"My Crazy gorgeous wifey"
