Recap ~
The first & last.

Shivaay was definitely flabbergasted hearing Anika the previous night. He didn't care if she had any past but why did she tell he may not be her last boyfriend?

"Good morning, Shivaay!" Anika dropped by the kitchen as Shivaay was trying to make scrambled eggs and bread toast for breakfast that day.
"Morning." He said trying to concentrate more on his cooking and she shrugged her shoulders taking an apple and knife from the basket placed on the countertop.
"I'm making breakfast for everyone." He announced to which she said, "Good but I don't have the mood to eat bread toast."
"What else do you want then?" He asked staring at her, waiting for an answer when she told "Well I want my Shivaay to smile first."
"That's not the answer for my question!" He told rudely, turning back to the pan in which he was making scrambled egg.

Walking upto him, she placed the knife near his neck speaking "Don't you dare show attitude to me Mr.Shivaay Singh Oberoi."
"I ain't." He told his eyes stuck to the knife.
"If you don't smile now, I don't know what I will do!" She said still holding the knife close to him and he couldn't do much but flash all his thirty two teeth at her.

"Happy?" He asked and she smiled moving the knife away from him. He sighed in relief not before muttering under his breath, "Crazy girl!" and she definitely heard this.
"You are crazy as well." She told with a pout at the end and he held his ears realizing he had been rude to her all the while, "Sorry."
She hugged him in return saying, "I know you were upset hearing me last night."
"I'm, now as well." He pouted making her chuckle.
"I want to fall in love many a times" She said shocking him yet again. Before he could react, she finished the incomplete sentence "but only with you." and smiled.

Shivaay took a minute or two to understand what she said but as he processed the entire sentence, he hugged her even tighter enjoying the beautiful moment of theirs. Finally, Shivaay and Anika realized what they felt for each other. They understood that magical feeling between them would be termed Love in this world. It was still a due to say those three words that every couple would say to express their love for each other and that moment was not very far for them as well, they just wanted to make the confession special.

Everything was going smooth, Shivaay's restaurant was launching in the next three days and he was pretty busy with it. Anika was also busy working on some wall paintings to decorate the restaurant, she wanted everything perfect for Shivaay's dream turning to reality.

"Mom, dad?" Anika called out much surprised seeing them at the entrance.
"Are you not happy seeing us?" Naina asked seeing her daughter's expression when she chuckled as she walked them in, "You know the answer, don't you?"
"I was just wondering about your surprise visit." She told honestly and her father answered her, "Our son-in-law invited us for his restaurant launch."

She just nodded in acknowledgment without correcting her father when he addressed Shivaay as son-in-law. Smirking in the best way possible, Raj told "I'm glad you realized you are in love."
She smiled widely and hugged her father, not trying to correct him yet again when he termed her feelings as love. Why would she correct, she finally knew she was in love!

Shivaay and Dadi settled in the hall with the Aroras to discuss ArShi's marriage proposal when they heard a familiar voice at the entrance.

"Tej?" Dadi called out to her son and continued, "Why did you come here? Won't you let us live in peace?"
"I'm the person to discuss about my daughter's marriage proposal." He told as he walked in and Shivaay stopped him, "No one has invited you."
"Well Khushi is my daughter and I had to come to..." He was stopped as Shivaay spoke "To stop this? To spoil her happiness!?"
"Definitely not. I want my daughter's happiness and I'm okay with this proposal." Tej told surprising everyone around except Anika.

Shivaay wondered, Tej was not happy with Anika being his girlfriend but he was okay with Arnav and Khushi's relationship? What was going on in his mind?

"Can't believe you are valuing relationships! Thanks Mr.Oberoi but we don't need your presence." Shivaay stated sarcastically while Khushi's face turned pale seeing the conversation getting heated.
"Shivaay, I told Tej uncle about Khushi and bhai. I invited him here." Anika announced stepping in as she didn't want Khushi to get hurt seeing her father and brother fighting.

Hearing her, Shivaay stormed to his room in anger while Anika ran behind him. Was he angry with her?

"Shivaay!?" Anika called out to him as she entered his room and found a broken vase on the floor.
"Why did you do this Anika?" He asked turning to her, his voice sounding loud and harsh.
"Shivaay he is your father. I just wanted to.." She was about to tell her reason but he stopped her saying, "Thanks for reminding me about my father. You did not do right, Anika!"
"But Shivaay..." She wanted to continue but couldn't once again as he pointed towards the door gesturing her to leave the room "I don't want to hurt you in anyway. Please leave me alone Anika!"

Don't you guys worry that Tej entered. Everything is for the best to happen! Stay tuned to know what happens next, will they patch up? 😉
