anika, how can you open up to him like this? are you mad? my god anika he's right you're such an emotional dumb, anika ... we have decided that we don't think that incident ever after... then what happened to you? you kept on breaking promises ... - some sound hit anika's head.

but I am feeling lightweight now... - anika immediately replied to the voice which hitten her head. 

anika did you say something? - shivaay asked her where she opened her eyes and nodded no with a little smile in her face where shivaay gave a quick smile and went back to his room.

something is different in him what is it? he's not like other curious people but he's different ... he listens to me and consoles me meanwhile he's giving space to me... my god what a personality you created... he's really a diamond ... - anika thought with a smirk in her face and went to the washroom for freshening up.

good morning - anika greeted him where he greeted back with a smile and continued to work in his laptop, anika took her phone which was in the charger and sat opposite to him while scrolling the messages. without her knowledge, she kept her legs on the table where shivaay was working with the laptop. 

Ms. Anika can't you see I'm working here. - Shivaay asked with a stern-smile look.

oops sorry  - she said and kept her legs down, he nodded and worked in his laptop as nothing happened between them yesterday.

shivaay... you're like this to everyone? or only me? - anika asked in a confused look.

like what? - shivaay asked while keeping his laptop aside. 

nothing... - she said and walked towards the kitchen where shivaay smiled for a while and followed her.

what have you been saying? - shivaay asked her where she replied with a smile and handover his Americano to him. where he took a sip and raised his eyebrows as it tastes good.

ok... free today? - anika asked him while sipping her coffee.

hmm... for the whole day... - shivaay replied casually. 

then done we're leaving in 2 hours ... be ready... - anika said and made her way towards her room and closed the door where shivaay remained confused.

After two hours.

anika... you're still getting ready? - shivaay asked in a hesitated tone.

wait a minute shivaay ... - she said and opened the door where she wore a blue and white stripped off-shoulder tee with ripped denim jeans. 

for a second shivaay stuck on her look where she came and snapped her fingers on him and he came to reality.

am I looking that much hot? - anika asked while winking at him where he came to reality and replied: "there's a huge difference between looking hot and looking different" with a smirk in his face but in reality, he fell for this look again.

anika jaw-dropped but she enjoyed his genuine comment. and they both moved their way towards the lift, where anika opted for steps but shivaay dragged her hand towards the lift. 

"you're not alone, I am there with you... try it once" - shivaay asked where her eyes stuck in his grey-blue orbs it's very difficult for her to reject him.

when the lift door opened they saw two men mesmerizing kissing each other. shivaay stood for a while on the entrance where anika cupped her mouth and laughed then he dragged her towards the steps. anika laughed to the extent while placing her in shivaay's shoulder where he remained embarrassed.

"yuk man ... how someone can make out in lifts" - shivaay said with a disgusting look. 

"why are you talking like an old school, BTW we are in NY ok ... it's quite common here ... it's better to live in hell comfortably rather than living in heaven suffocating..." -Anika said which quite surprising for him looking upon the changes on her.

"what you mean? I can't get it?" - shivaay asked her even though he understood her point of view but he needs clarification.

"see we're equal before god... we have no rights to judge them ... it's simple" - anika said in a calm and convincing tone where shivaay got completely impressed with the new anika.

hey, where are we going? - shivaay asked her when forcefully took the keys from his hand and sat in the driver seat.

to check-out baby - anika said in a sarcastic tone where shivaay's eyes widely opened in shock. 

first, she parked the car in the parking area of NFW (nats fashion world) and took off her seat belt where shivaay looked at her confusingly.

"come out ..." - she said with a smile.

"for what?" - shivaay asked her confusingly.

"to checking out" - she said with a naughty smile in her face which confused shivaay to the core.

"are you serious anika? or something hit your head? - shivaay asked while touching her head.

"I am damn serious ... come you will understand it slowly"- anika said with a naughty smile and dragged inside the NFW. and she looked at shivaay and pulled down his first two buttons in his shirt where shivaay jaw dropped in shock and smashed his hair but immediately stopped by shivaay.

don't touch my hair ok? - shivaay told in a scolding tone where anika silently smiled and kept her hand again on his hairs.

trust me... you will look hot... -anika said and continued where shivaay blushed for a while and bowed his head down. 

blushing eh ... what will happen when she comes before you? - anika asked where shivaay became confused again.

who? - shivaay asked in a confusing tone.

patience my dear reel hubby - she said and intertwined her hands with shivaay and dragged him towards the studio.

are you ready Mr. Oberoi? - anika asked him with a naughty smile where shivaay remained confused but he was cent percent assured that something is cooking in anika's mind.

hello, shakes - anika shouted and waved her hands towards a lady. 

hey... hello Ani - she replied while turning back where shivaay jaw dropped on shock and she made her way towards them with a wide smile in her face.

shivaay's eyes popped out after seeing her there. shivaay know something cooking in his mind but not expected this. he looked at anika where she smiled while side-hugging him where he remained dumb, he can't able hear anything other than her heel sound which was increasing second by second. his hands became too cold in shock where he immediately picked anika's palms and held it tightly. where anika also able to feel his chillness in his hand but remained confused.

she came towards him and gave a casual hug to anika, she reciprocates it back gently.

"your designs are fabulous darling... early waiting to be rock the ramp with you" - she exclaimed where anika replied with a smile where her eyes turned towards shivaay and looked for anika to introduce him where anika became confused on seeing shivaay whose eyes were opened like he had seen a ghost. 

ah ... sorry ... he's my .... (anika stopped) - anika stopped when he saw shivaay was struggling to say something so she gave space to him.

i ... i 'm h...h..e.r ... hus...hus... husband - shivaay said without knowledge of what he's saying where anika's eyes came out in shock.

ar ..are you married? - shakes questioned where anika was literally confused what to say? what not to say? finally, she nodded yes to her.

it's great darling... - she said and hugged shivaay forcefully where he fainted on her shoulder where anika hit her forehead with her hand, held shivaay on her shoulder with the help of that lady, took him to her cabin and rested him in the couch.

after a few minutes, shivaay regains his consciousness and asked "where is he?" while keeping his hands on his head.

in my cabin. - anika said in a cold tone. even before he can recall anything she threw jar full of water on his face. 

anika - he jerked in shock.

shivaay ... you're impossible ... - she said while covering her eyes with her palm and sat on the chair where shivaay recalled every incident and also realized he uttered the truth without his knowledge.

anika... I'm sorr (anika stopped him) - shivaay said in a pleading tone.

you embarrassed me before Shakira (pop singer and shivaay's favorite) - anika said in a crying tone.

hey... hey ... sorry anika, I didn't mean to ...  - he said while kneeled down before her.

okay... I understand you introduced me as your wife ... it's okay... I too introduced you as my husband before that lady ... it's okay... - anika said in an impatient tone.

I thought of surprising you ... but you surprised me instead - anika added while gritting her teeth and pointing her hand on her.

I am sorry... anika - shivaay uttered after realizing that anika didn't care about referring her as his wife.

anika tied her hair, took a deep breath and said: "I asked you to check out her but you fainted on her" 

shivaay said nothing but gave an embarrassing look in his face where anika laughed and said: "don't give such expressions it's funny"

shivaay sat down on the floor relaxed and said: "I become worried anika, again I am sorry" 

"I was angry on you but not after seeing your cute puppy face" - anika said while pulling his two cheeks where they both heard a door-knocking sound they turned back.

"I haven't disturbed the hubby-wifey moment right?" -  nats asked while entering into the cabin where anika smiled at her and shivaay stood up in confusion.

"hey nats... meet my reel husband Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi" - anika introduced shivaay where shivaay smiled at her shake his hand with her.

"if you don't mind Mr. Oberoi shall I steal your reel wife for few minutes" - nats asked shivaay.

"(on facing nats) of course" - shivaay said.

"(on facing anika) if she troubles you just call me ... your reel husband at your service ma'am" - shivaay said while bowing down to her.

"Aww... so sweet of you honey... wait for me,(while winking) I will be (huskily) back" - anika left while caressing his cheek where shivaay smiled at her on seeing that nats felt some unknown happiness in her heart.

while working with nats anika felt that she stared her for a while with a smile in her face.

"what" - anika asked her while working.

"I have never seen you in this much happiness in these 6 years" - nats said where anika replied with a smile as she agreeing her fact but doesn't want to say it to her.

"you both seem to be so connected, for a second I believed that you guys are actually married" - nats added with a smile.

"shall we leave... he's waiting for me" - anika left the room and as well as the topic because she knew where it will end. she went to her cabin when she saw shivaay automatically a smile appeared in her face without her knowledge she recognized it when she saw herself in the mirror beside and shocked to see that she never smiled like this in these 6 years.

shall we leave? - shivaay asked her where she tugged her hair back and left by holding his hands.

is this real? we both are connected? how someone can able to do in a day? is I am in ..... - anika thought and she afraid to take that word 'love' even in her thought but nothing is our hands right.

whatever meant to happened should be happening...
