Recap: Ishwar tease Anika to reveal a surprise.

***********************

Anika waited for Ishwar who entered the closet and returned with a box and passed it to her. She was excited to see the contents of it and opened the box. Next moment she squealed and hugged him falling together on the bed. He laughed loud looking at the excitement she was showing even for the tiniest things he does for her.

Ish: Did you like it ?

Ani: Oh my god, I love it. Let me check it on me.....

She kissed his cheeks and got from the bed and stood before the mirror placing the T shirt over her and traced the words on it " His baby ". She turned the T shirt and kissed the words and he hugged her from behind.

Ani: Shall we wear this tonight when leaving for London ?

Ish: You wear it and I will wear it when we are in our room. I m not used to wear fancy dresses snow flake.

Ani: But what is the use of wearing a twinning dress in room. Please wear it for me. Please please please please please

Ish: hmmm, ok...I pray the lord that no one tease me.

Ani: I will break the limbs of the person who tease you.

By night Lilly, Nancy and Jerry were ready in the living and all their luggages were placed in the car. Anika came down hopping on the stairs dressed in the T shirt with matching kaki pant. 

Nan: Wow Ana, when did you buy this ? 

Ani: Its awesome right ? Mama surprised me today with this.

Jer: Where is boss ?

Anika turned around screamed calling him. Ishwar stood by the door rubbing his nape and exhaled before descending the stairs. Nancy and Jerry whistled looking at Ishwar who was dressed with a T shirt " Her mama", twinning with Anika. Lilly was at the extreme shock of her life to see Ishwar dressed in a such twinning and fancy costumes. Anika looped her hand with Ishwar and Jerry clicked their pictures.

Ani: How do we look Nanu ?

Nan: Hot and perfect couple...No evil eyes for my cuties....

Nancy hugged them and they left for the airport. All the way Anika was high on sugar and her excitement knew no boundary. Once they were in the air she unbuckled the seat belt and turned towards Ishwar completely.

Ani: Lets play some game. I m feeling bored. 

Ish: What do you want to play ? your game or my game ?

Ani: What is your game ?

Ish: You close your eyes and I will write a word on your palm or your back with my finger. If you guess correctly I will kiss you else you will kiss me.

Ani: What ? Doesn't it both sound same mama ? Are you trying to trick me again ?

Ish: No baby....its just game...we cannot be serious right. If you are scared of losing then choose yourself what should the loser or winner do.

Ani: I m not scared of losing. Lets play..deal ok.

Ishwar showed his palm and closed his eyes. Anika wrote her name and he guessed it correctly and pointed his lips. Anika gave a quick peck and moved away quickly. Next Ishwar took Anika's palm and wrote love and she found it correctly.

Ish: God, I lost so I must kiss you now.

Ani: Its ok, I give you chance. Next time you can do it.

Ish: No Anika, we should play the games as per rule.

He pulled her and she squealed startling others. He closed her mouth with his palm and pulled her close.

Ish: Shhh, they are falling asleep and you are disturbing them. I will remove my hand and no more noises.

Anika nodded and he removed his hand slowly. Before she tried to move away he locked her circling his hand around her neck and started kissing her. Lilly who got disturbed by Anika's sound peeked into know the reason of her squealing and later regretted when she saw them kissing.

When they reached his estate in London it was beyond midnight and they retired to their rooms. 

Valery who got the call from his men reached the dungeon and saw the dead bodies of Adam and the other man whom he sent to act in his place. 

Val: What happened to other men ?

Guard:  We got to know that all the men of our clan and men of those clans who joined us were killed and thrown into the ocean. Only these two bodies were here.

Valery saw a note peeking through Adam's shirt and pulled it out but he felt like it pulled out something else too. He informed his guard to check for something else in Adam's body and walked away holding the note which said " Surprise ". When the guard touched Adam's body he felt something hard above his abdomen and touched to check but it was bomb which blasted with huge fire. Valery tripped and fell due to the blast and the fire was enormous that his shirt caught in it. He removed it cursing Lazovsky and dumped the water on him entered inside the dungeon.

He called rest of his men to vacate the place and shift to their operation base. He further instructed his men incharge to work on the raw materials for the Russian order.

Val: If Lazovsky doesn't do the business then I will do going against every rule of the underworld. 

Guard: chief are we dropping the plan to kidnap Alexander's daughter ?

Val: Yes, but she will come on her own leaving her doting husband. This time Ishwar or Lazovksy whoever it is will lose her forever...The game is on me this time ...I might not have proof that Ishwar Vincent is Lazovksy but very soon I will be at a place where he will not be able to touch me.

On discussing his plan he left to the place where he stayed safely.

Ishwar woke up and saw it was around 11 and Anika was still asleep. He rubbed his beard on her cheeks and she woke up rubbing her eyes.

Ani: Your beard always pokes me....even when you kiss me...

Ish: Don't like it ?

Ani: how will you look without beard mama ? Have you ever shaved completely ?

Ish: I won't look good without beard so I never shaved....

He caressed his beard and she was pulling his beard hair gently.

Ani: I want to see your clean shave face..pleechhhh mamu..

He smiled at her cutenessa and pinched her cheeks kissing her forehead. He carried her in bridal style to the washroom and made her sit on the counter before the huge mirror with two sinks on either side. He opened the cabinet and took the shave cream and razor and stood between her legs.

Ish: come on do it on your own but think before once again. Remember you won't be able to see this complete beard face for atleast 2 months.

Anika squeezed the shaving cream on his beard and used a brush to apply it all over. 

Ani: I m little scared. what if I hurt you ?

Ishwar held her hand which were trembling slightly and guided her. Anika smiled and started shaving while his hands was busy caressing her waist under her top. Once she did he ran the razor completely and washed his face and wiped with a towel.

He cocked his eyebrows and Anika made a face of dislike. He tickled her looking at her reactions for his shaved face.

Ish: I told you I won't look good with clean face still I did to fulfill your wish but you make faces to tease me.. such a brat you are Mrs. Vincent.

Anika laughed trying to stop him and when he did not stop she kissed his lips which did succeed. She hugged him with her hand around his neck and rubbed her cheeks with his.

Ani: I lied mama, you look handsome as always. This is so good...no more poking when I rub my cheeks...but you look more handsome with beard..no problem it will grow and I can wait until then. I love you in all your styles...

Ish: So what do I get in return for this ?

Anika pecked his cheeks and he put the strand of hair behind her ear losing himself in her innocent and flawless beauty.

Nancy and Jerry were in the living planning for sight seeing along with Lilly. Anika came down squealing getting their attention.

Ani: Nanu, Jerry anna, please close your eyes. There is a shock and surprise for you. come on quick..no cheating and can open your eyes when I allow you.

Nancy and Jerry closed their eyes and Anika called Ishwar and made him sit opposite to them. Anika counted one to three and they opened their eyes on count of three. 

Jerry stood from his seat gasping in shock and Nancy rolled laughing at him. Lilly who already watched him descending the stairs froze at the changes from him..

Ani: I wanted to see mama like this and you know, he allowed me to shave him.

Jer: Boss, what is this ? Is this really you ? 

Nanu: No, he is not Ishwar Vincent...he is now the lover boy of Anika and has got Anika's influence on him completely. Jerry see how do a person behave in love..perfect husand material and to be frank I know bro will do anything for Anika but not to this extent to changing his looks completely. 

Jer: you look like a model rather than a businessman boss...

Ani: right...he is so handsome..

Anika pinched his cheeks and kiss her fingers making him blush and he moved away to the dining pulling Anika along.

Post lunch they left in a limo and reached the greenwhich park. The couples went on differet direction holding hands to take a walk on the meridian line. Ishwar and Jerry explained about the importance of the places. Ishwar sat on the greenish lawn and pulled Anika to sit between his legs and she leaned on his chest watching as she started munching the chocolate he gave her.

Anika saw a old couple and her eyes was fixed on the old lady who laughed and talked with her grand daughter. Ishwar who was speaking and did not get any response saw her lost and from her line of sight he saw the old lady. He understand her mind getting into the thoughts of he granny and stood holding her hand.

Ish: Lets go to some other place. 

He messaged Jerry and they left from there and drove to the columbia flower market. Anika who is fond of flowers bought different flowers and artificial, floral jewels. By evening they entered a coffee house and had a fresh and heart warming coffee with snacks.

Ishwar had his eyes on Anika constantly to check if she was doing good. though she enjoyed he felt a change in her. He left Anika with Nancy and came out with a cigarette and Jerry followed him.

Jer: What happened boss ?

Ish: She is greatly affected and her mind is not fully into enjoying after she saw that old lady. May be her emotions got triggered.. What if she gets into those memories ? I can't see her going through so much of pain.

Jer: Boss, her recovery will have to cross the phase of those memories. Only then she will be back to normal else she is going to remain the same. We need to be prepared to see her go through everything once again atleast to some extent.  

Ish: Escort them to the car and I will join you after having a word the doctor.

Ishwar dropped his cigarette in the trash can and moved away and called the doctor with his eyes on Anika via the glass door of the coffee house.
