"So Mr. Rudra Singh Oberoi? May I know why early morning after a torturing night of sleeping without my wife I receive a message from this hot blooded kid that my youngest brother, Rudra is planning to make me jealous by using him so that I confess the reason behind the divorce?" asked Shivaay with a noxious glare looking at Rudra who looked at everyone else for some support but none gave a damn. They were just thankful that Yuvraj didn't mention the family was involved.

"Traitors" muttered Rudra seeing all the family members focusing on their food as if they weren't at all involved in this master plan.

"I---Actually my bestest Bhaiya. We weren't informed by you that the divorce is cancelled so we planned to make you jealous-----using Yuvraj because you are always jealous of him and he knew about your marriage so it would have been easier to include him. You go nuts when you are jealous so----we kind of thought like that you will cancel the divorce."

"Wait a minute we? Who all were involved in this brilliant idea?" asked Shivaay looking at his parents who focused way too hard on their food. They for sure would have been involved in this lunacy.

"Every one of these organisms Bhaiya. They all agreed" replied Rudra to which the family glared him "What? I am not going to be scolded alone. You are all drowning along!"

"But the plan was of Rudra Bhaiya only" blamed Priyanka and everyone immediately agreed nodding their head in a yes simultaneously.

"Yes but all of you were equally into it okay" gave back Rudra. If he is going to drown he is taking all of them along with him.

"I can't believe Bade Papa, Om even you guys agreed?" asked Shivaay, sitting on the chair beside Annika holding his head, he seriously can't believe his family.

"I didn't agree but Dadi made me give up" replied Om pointing at his grandmother. Shivaay looked at Dadi who immediately gave a puppy smile "What? You are going to scold your one and only Dadi?"

That shut Shivaay up; Kalyani Singh Oberoi had quite a lot of tricks under her sleeves.

"and I was forced by Jhanvi. She threatened me, I am a victim" cried Tej dramatically to which Jhanvi glared him "See, she is still firing bullets from those lotus shaped beautiful eyes."

"Are you complaining or flirting with Mom?" asked Rudra only to receive a shut up from his father.

"Badi Maa-----"trailed off Shivaay looking at Jhanvi who tried the same trick as that of Kalyani Singh Oberoi "What? You will scold your one and only Badi maa?"

"Same same what Maa and Bhabhi said, you will scold your one and only father?" said Shakti when Shivaay looked at him for an explanation. He then looked at his mother who raised an eyebrow and replied with a sheepish smile "Copy, Paste?"

"Great mom you didn't even make an effort to say the sentence" said Shivaay with a sarcastic smile than looked at Priyanka who was going to open her mouth when Shivaay himself said.

"I know what you are going to say. You are my one and only sister I get it. I can't scold you either"

He then looked at Rudra who immediately said "What? You will scold your one and only brother?"

Shivaay smirked while other mentally face-palmed themselves at the dumbbell Oberoi. Standing beside Rudra, Shivaay pulled his ear making him yelp "Let me remind you Dumb-bell Singh Oberoi, you aren't my one and only brother" he said, pointing at Om who jungled his fingers with a sneer on his lips.

"Ahh----okay one and only younger brother?" tried Rudra only to get his ear twisted even more. God it hurts!

"Care to tell me why I wasn't informed about it yesterday?" asked Shivaay still twisting Rudra's ear who looked at Annika with puppy eyes for help but she wasn't interfering at all. She is his best friend in true sense!

"I—I-kind of forgot in the excitement of getting to punish you" replied Rudra trying to pull out of Shivaay's hold who just twisted it more "and that reminds me no you aren't getting any credit in internship without efforts."

"Bhaiya but you gave me your words" wailed Rudra, rubbing his ear which was finally left from those clutches. "I gave you my words? Where are they? Show me?" asked Shivaay with a simper and raised eyebrow.

"This isn't fair--------chotii maa" cried Rudra looking at his last hope. Pinki made a sad face before replying "I am seriously not in a state of ordering him Rudra. Sorry"

"One advice for future Rudra in business remember to get things in written" added Shivaay, with a deride sitting back on the couch "Give something to your husband to eat wifey. I have a hot blooded kid to confront."

"You have replied to his message Bhaiya?" asked Rudra to which Shivaay looked at him with confused puckered brow "Not yet. I am planning to confront him face to face."

"I have a better plan" muttered Rudra and Shivaay mocked "You seriously have the guts to say you have a plan after pulling up a plan like last one. I am not interested."

"You may get to kiss Annika in front of Yuvraj in my plan" said Rudra, insouciantly knowing very well he have hit the bulls point.

"What's the plan?" asked Shivaay directing his complete attention on Rudra while Annika eyes widen at his change in demeanor. Just now he was condemning Rudra and his planning skills and look at him now listening as if Rudra was the best planner in the world.

"Okay so first we would let Yuvraj believe that his plan has worked and you both have broken apart. As far as I can feel he will try to somehow spoil our plan of making you jealous to confess your feelings and for that just like he informed you about the plan he would inform Annie as well because I refused him to considering Annika doesn't go against you." Continued Rudra as everyone looked at him in complete focus except Annika who just couldn't figure out what was the need of all this. They can simply confront Yuvraj.

"Then as according to the plan of making Bhaiya jealous, a small party just among close friends for celebrating Annika's post birthday celebration would be thrown today evening. Annie when Yuvraj will tell you about this plan of making Bhaiya jealous, you would much to his surprise agree with this. You want to make Bhaiya jealous because you aren't ready to lose him."

"Just skip to the part where I get to kiss her in front of that hot blooded kid" interrupted an annoyed Shivaay, while everyone rolled their eyes at his desperation.

"Have patience Bhaiya. So when Annie is making you jealous while dancing with Yuvra-------"he was again interrupted by Shivaay "She isn't dancing with him."

"Bhaiya---patience. So where was I? Yes when Annie would make you jealous. You would control yourself and not react like we planned. Annie would pretend that this infuriated her and she isn't and wouldn't lose you at all. To sum up Yuvraj is obsessed with Annika; we are going to make Annika obsessed with you."

Everyone stared at Rudra in disbelief. Om walked toward Rudra and started shaking him "Who are you? Who are you smart imposter? Where is my idiot brother? What did you do to him?" He then opened the mouth of a frowning Rudra "Rudy are you inside. Don't worry we are going to get you along with your dumbness back."

"Shut up O" Rudra pushed Om back who chuckled "I am always Smart okay. You guys just don't recognize."

"I can't believe you----amid everyone---- you formed this twisted, wicked plan" added Tej pinching himself to actually believe it.

"I hate you all. Go on I'm not telling anymore" cried Rudra as the family laughed at his expense "Okay Rudra continue. Now tell me when I get to kiss Annika?" asked Shivaay again.

"He is stuck at this only." Shakti commented rolling his eyes.

"O-my despo Bhaiya relax. It's not you who will kiss Annika, Annika would kiss you and you will push her away"

"Why would I kiss him?"

"Why would I push her away?"

Shivaay and Annika asked simultaneously. Shivaay looked at Annika with a raised eyebrow "You don't want to kiss me?"

"I didn't meant that I do want to kiss you" corrected Annika immediately while the family wolf whistled making her look down flushed "I---I was just asking the reason."

Shivaay snuggled her into his arms "It feels epic to know that. Epic to love you and be loved by you." His eyes for a second got lost into her, as if their gaze danced a waltz amid themselves in a world that ceased to exist around them. Just for a second but yet left them with a euphoric feeling.

"Oh love couple. Focus. So yes Annika would play the role of a typical obsessed psycho----like those shown in television shows that Choti maa watch. She wants Bhaiya back from Tripti at any cost. You would manipulate Bhaiya, try to seduce him, force him but you aren't giving up. Rest I will tell scene by scene later on. And the best part you goanna take Yuvraj help for this, I mean he of course would try to comfort you from this break-up. Just use that to manipulate him into helping you." added Rudra with a smirk. Rubbing his hand in glee of his wicked plan.

"and how do you plan to end it? I mean they can't keep doing it forever?" asked Om.

"We have to frustrate Yuvraj, he loves-----"Shivaay glared Rudra to which he continued rolling his eyes "Okay he is obsessed with Annika, we are just giving him a taste of his own medicine. He felt for the Annika he had seen in college, the headstrong, chirpy, talkative, an Annika with a lot of self-respect. How long can he tolerate an obsessed Annika who is ready to fall to any level to get Bhiya?"

While everyone nodded at the plan with a smile, the smile on Shivaay's lips froze listening to Rudra's word. The headstrong, chirpy, talkative, an Annika with a lot of self-respect.

He looked at her as she was lost in some thoughts, feeling the same dull ache in his heart forming again. The Annika he gets to see is Shy, Less spoken, nervous an Annika who compromise with her self-respect, wishes for him. Why doesn't he get to see the Annika, Rudra and Yuvraj get? Doesn't he deserve it? Even now?

"Don't even think it Shivaay. Yuvraj loved Annika at her best. You loved her at her worst; you deserve her at her best. Just give her time"

Om whispered inaudible to anyone else, coming and settling beside Shivaay. Shivaay smiled at his brother who always gets to know what he was thinking, they weren't twins, to have that cosmic connection of understanding each other thoughts like movies portray, hell they don't biologically share parents. Yet somehow, Om always understood Shivaay's insecurities!

"I'm not sure whether I will be able to pull this act or not" said Annika, softly. She gets nervous around Shivaay even if she doesn't want to. Its just a natural reaction of her body. Even if in pretense she can't force him or do something against his wish.

"Annie come-on I know you can do it. Just be the badass bitch you were with those cheerleading girls who tried to body shame you" commented Rudra only to receive a smack from Tej on his head.

"She is your sister in law. You don't get to use such words for her" scolded Tej to which Rudra apologized "Sorry-----it's just sometime I forget she isn't just my best friend."

"and why did you let anyone insult Annika? Didn't I ask you to look after her?" asked Tej with a frown to which Rudra rolled his eyes "Please----she doesn't need to be taken care off. You guys haven't seen her in college. That Annika can roast you then and there and you wouldn't even realize it. That Annika never-I repeat- never back out from an argument."

The family looked at Annika who looked down, like a kid whose mischievousness in school has been revealed at home.

Shivaay sighed! One day! One day he will get to love that Annika as well.

"And anyway the person I am worried for is Shivaay Singh Oberoi. Hopefully he can control his jealous self and manage to push Annie away when she will kiss him. God help him control his jealousy and desire for his wife" Muttered Rudra drawing Shivaay's attention toward him.

"What? Don't underestimate me okay. I am a very controlled man" As soon as Shivaay said this literally everyone except Annika present in the room started fake coughing looking anywhere but at a frowning Shivaay.

"GO AND PREPARE FOR THE PARTY ALL OF YOU" yelled Shivaay, glaring at his insane family. Every member rushed away cupping their mouth to control the laughter yet shamelessly laughing.

Annika was leaving too but Shivaay held her hand pulling her toward him "Where are you going Mrs?"

"To prepare for the party" replied Annika looking down with a soft smile and faint blush.

"Naah, you aren't leaving your husband alone here" replied Shivaay, tenderly snaking his arms through her waist pulling her delicately, crashing her in his chest.

"Wha---what are you doing Shivaay? Someone will see us" asked Annika, as his hand went inside her kurti through the waist cut. The touch, that touch was like a soft song playing in the background, a music etched to be listened only by the heart which calms, heals and refreshes the soul of their relationship.

Making her look into his eyes he asked softly "What's going on in that mind of yours? I saw you lost in your thoughts earlier."

A mental sigh escaped Annika's lips at this intimacy. An intimacy where even after being in her cloths she felt he saw her raw. Her thoughts, her soul, her feelings----they lay stripped in front of this cyan blue eyed man, she had grown to love more than she can explain---ever!

Even through her hesitation to share it, her voice erupted as if working on his command, with a mind of its own "Do we really need to do all this to Yuvraj? Obsessed only---he-----he does have feelings for me. Wouldn't we hurt him like this? I know he did wrong but if we would do this won't it make us just as wrong as him?"

Shivaay's heart swell at the ecstasy of falling in love with her yet again, within seconds. His wife really doesn't harbor negative feelings for anyone. No matter what the other person does, she doesn't intend to hurt anyone ever. Be it Nihal, who left her on her wedding day yet she never asked to punish him or questioned why he still have a job in Oberoi Empire. Be it Tia, who tried to humiliate her or now Yuvraj who manipulated her.

"You are really very beautiful Annika" said Shivaay earnestly, she wanted to look down flushed but as if his eyes held her from even blinking "Beautiful for the way you think, beautiful for the way you are true from your soul" he neared her face to kiss her, while she closed her eyes, shivering lips in anticipation.

"BHAIYAAAA!!!!!!"

Rudra yelled from other side of the mansion and Annika ran away, slightly pushing him away leaving behind a cursing Shivaay. Did Shivaay mentioned he hate his youngest brother-----like a lot. Lot enough to one day actually plan his murder.

"Damn you Rudra" muttered Shivaay, rushing his finger through his hairs as Rudra rushed to him with an I-pad in his hand.

"Bhaiya which song?" asked Rudra, ignoring the glare he was getting from his elder brother.

"What song?" snapped Shivaay, he disturbed a prestigious moment with his wife, Shivaay would trade crores deal for just to ask for a stupid song.

"The sad song you will sing in the party to bring the break-up feel" replied Rudra in an obvious tone while Shivaay looked at him like he had grown horns.

"First I can't sing and why do we need a sad song in a birthday party?" asked Shivaay, incredulity. Is it seriously his life now?

"Bhaiya we need to bring the feel---you know heartache and all. You play piano quite good. Why don't you play a sad tune today? Also you aren't that terrible singer, we can tolerate you"

Shivaay gave him a look "Rudra this is my life not a show or movie where sad track play in the background when a break-up happen" He felt like to pull his hair apart. No—not his, Rudra's hair. His hairs are too precious to waste on this idiot.

"But we need to do this for effect Bhaiya. We need Yuvraj to believe" insisted Rudra.

"and you think he would believe this melodramatic trick?" asked Shivaay, rolling his eyes.

"Yes" replied Rudra

"Then I am sure he is just as much an idiot as you."

"Hey don't badmouth the cupid of your life" reprimanded Rudra, looking at Shivaay from his I-pad.

"Cupid? He is the villain in my story" snapped Shivaay, not believing himself that he is arguing with Rudra over that hot blooded kid instead of searching for his wife to kiss the hell out of her for running away like this.

"Please----if not for his not so genius wicked plan you guys won't have been able to confess your love for each other" replied Rudra "and now because of him you are going to see the glimpse of your real Annika you so dearly want to even if in a drama."

Shivaay gave him are you even serious look but Rudra as expected remained unfazed "Come-on Bhaiya we need to do this. How else are we supposed to take revenge from him?"

"Maybe by straightaway confronting him?" Shivaay said in obvious tone. If not for a chance to kiss Annika right in front of that hot blooded kid, he would have never agreed to this plan at all.

"Too Boring! Let it go I will ask Annie and convince her to dance on a sad song" with this Rudra walked away muttering how useless and inconsiderate his eldest brother is.

Shivaay just stared him leaving and felt his head burst with all the drama going on in his life. Looking at the zenith he whispered to himself.

"God where am I stuck?"

Precap: A crazy party with jealous and desperate Shivaay, Obsessed Annika, Frustrated Yuvraj and hell confused almost to the level of turning mad Natasha 🤣🤣

"What are you doing Annika?"  asked Yuvraj, seeing Annika mixing something in the whiskey Shivaay asked for himself from a maid.

"This is aphrodisiac, it increases sex drive. Shivaay can't leave me after we consummate our marriage. If needed I will prepare a fake pregnancy report also. I am not going to lose him"  she replied stirring the white powder in the drink.

"Annika, this is wrong. Have you lost you mind? You are literally spiking his drink" yelled a frustrated Yuvraj. What was wrong with this girl?

"Look don't give me moral lectures. You said you are my friend and you will help me. Now make sure to separate Shivaay from that Tripti after he drink this and bring him to the room on the third floor. No one goes on the third floor usually." ordered Annika before calling a maid and giving her the drink, to pass it to Shivaay.

"Annika listen this isn't the way to get someone."

"I don't care Yuvraj. I literally don't care if it is right or wrong. I want Shivaay and I will get him anyhow. If you don't want to help me I will ask Rudy. He can do anything to see me and Shivaay together" with this Annika turned to leave but looked back once again "and bring him to the third floor soon. I am waiting and I don't want any mistake from your side."

She left leaving a bewildered Yuvraj behind!

Promo:

"Shivaay please I need the half day" requested Annika to  Shivaay who was sitting on his cabin chair indulged in his file to avoid looking into her eyes, which were his weakness. He would readily give in to her demand if he look at those adorable eyes.

"I also need to take Rudy along" added Annika giving a stink eye to her best friend who was sitting on the couch eating Uncle Chips. He had readily raised his hand in surrender saying if there is one chance for his brother and their boss to give them a half day, it is only possible through some seductive looks of Annika Shivaay Singh Oberoi.

"Annika I know you want this half day for my birthday but its not needed love. There is so much work left in the office. Complete that and it will be the best birthday gift for me" said Shivaay, denying her demand focusing on his laptop, to avoid those manipulating eyes.

"Please" requested Annika again.

"No"

"Please Shivaay" Annika tried again. She was already late in preparation of his first birthday with her and here he wasn't even letting her go.

"No means No. There is so much work Anni----" he was interrupted by his wife who finally lost her temper.

"Shut up Okay---- here I am requesting and you are showing me Tadi. I am going and taking Rudra along. Let me see how you stop me. Come Rudy" yelled Annika, she marched out of his cabin shutting the door loudly leaving behind a dumbstruck Shivaay and a laughing Rudra.

"Did---Did she just say Shut up to me?" asked a bewildered Shivaay, not believing his own ears. His shy, soft spoken wife just not literally yelled on him. Did she?

"Congratulation Bhaiya finally you saw the reality of your wife" said Rudra sneakily throwing the empty packet in the dustbin "Or should I saw the real Annika you so desperately wanted to know." He chuckled at the end looking at Shivaay's frozen face before softly shaking him, yet no movement.

"Zinda ho ki nikal Liye Bhaiya!"
