Anika was very sure that her gold and red lehenga weighed more than her total weight. Add to it the Oberoi heirloom jewelry and she was getting weighed down under her wedding finery with each step. Had it not been for her handsome husband, who was dressed in black and brown traditional bandh-gala Jodhpuri suit, holding her by the waist she would have buckled by now. She had been on her feet for last three hours, her cheeks were aching with all the smiling and her feet were crying strapped up in three inch high golden heels ........

It looked like all of the city had come to this party. Actually scratch that, it looked like half of the world was in attendance. Selected media houses were also approved by her husband to be invited-in by the event planners. It was a huge party at the top most hotel of the city . Decoration and music and food everything was somewhere of her liking, and she did not even realize that she was planning her own wedding reception when it was all being decided, she chuckled. She did not know that Shivaay will go to such lengths to introduce her to the world as his wife. She had learnt from the event planners that the invitation to this party was the most coveted one among the elite this year. She could not help but feel the pride at her husband's status in business world. He was the king of the ground he walked on and it showed. Arrogance and pride was his second nature here. Only when he looked at her did she feel a softness in his features. As soon as he moved his eyes away from her his voice changed, his demeanor changed, the air around him changed. This wedding reception, although was for their happiness and for her introduction into high society, it was also exhibiting the power that Oberoi's name yielded. Who's who of political and business world have come to congratulate them. People were waiting for Shivaay singh Oberoi's few minutes. And she noticed that he was well versed in dividing his attention shrewdly, with Khanna ji whispering now and then into his ears.


After a while she gave up and whispered in Shivaay's ear that she wanted to sit down and would like to eat something. The change in his expressions was instantly apparent. Without a second's delay he excused himself from the guest he was talking to, leaving the conversation in between. Issued a few orders about taking care of guests to Khanna who had been trailing behind them most of the evening, and led her to a relatively secluded corner and made her sit. His concern was evident in his gestures and eyes, and in his rapid fire round asking about If she was okay? If she wanted to go home? If she is tired? Why did she not tell him before and so on. Her heart filled with an inexplicable tender love when he went to get her a dinner plate himself, not trusting the attendants with her vegetarian preferences.


Everything was perfect, but she was missing her angels here. The ocean of unknown faces eager to see her, meet her, greet her had made her miss them all the more. Shivaay had convinced her to not bring Adit and Adya to the reception as it was a very public event covered by press and electronic media alike, and exposing babies to unknown threats was the last thing he wanted to do. She did argue, but had to shut up when he explained how this event will be flashed on every news channel and would reach every nook and corner of newspaper reading world with pictures. That Adit Adya who were about to start school are the soft targets for lunatic criminals and mean business rivals . He had given her vocabulary of 'personal life' a whole new meaning with these revelations. She knew that it was about time she also starts learning the demarcation between her life as a wife and a mother inside Oberoi Mansion, and as Mrs. ANIKA SHIVAAY SHINGH OBEROI outside it!!!!!

..................................

A little away from where she sat waiting, out of her earshot, two reporters who saw her sitting there were talking among themselves.
'Don't even think of approaching Mrs. Oberoi . The invitation to media clearly stated that no questions will be answered. We will have to do with the officially released statement only. Be happy that we are invited-in and are allowed to take pictures' the first reporter said.
'Not even 'How do you feel to be Mrs. Oberoi ' kind of neutral questions?' the second reporter questioned.
'Kapoor, you are new that is why you are saying this. Definition of MEDIA SHY is very different in SSO's context, because there media shies away from his wrath. If he says no questions then no questions. Why do you want to get into trouble? Such a big party, such yummy food. Enjoy and leave' the first one replied.
'Hmm... so he is as ruthless as people say he is?' the second man raised a doubt.
'Without doubt and even more. Irk him and you'll know, but trust me when I say that you don't want to know. Just try to not land up in the unfortunate category of people who he decides to 'take care of'. Okay?' the first reporter imparted the words of wisdom.
'And how do you know all this?' the second one skeptically asked.
'I am in this field for ten years now Kapoor. Covering Oberoi Companies for last four. Ask him about his business ventures if you are feeling daring today, but don't go near his personal life if you love yours. He is fiercely protective about that. No questions is actually an indirect warning against approaching his wife directly. He introduced us to her, we said hello from afar and that's it. Forget about a quote from her' he said as he forwarded a glass of wine to his inquisitive colleague.
'Is it because she is a poor orphan?' he deliberated.
'Correction. She WAS poor. Now she is the sole owner of everything that was in the name of Late Mrs. KALYANI OBEROI . Shares, assets worth millions' he supplied.

And who knew ANIKA SHIVAAY SINGH OBEROI 's current worth more than Daksh Khurana , who had been the in charge of all the property and share transfers. SSO had specially ordered Daksh to get all legal formalities completed personally, and all his meeting with Mrs. Anika Oberoi have been in SSO's office. He never ever went to OBEROI Mansion again. His love for her had faded out considerably after their verbal spat that night, and his doubts that the 'someone' whom she was seeing was SHIVAAY SINGH OBEROI were right, weren't they? His mother however had been quite inquisitive about Anika these days, and her eyes had popped out when he told about her net worth. It had been two months since that helipad incident and SSO had been nothing but professional with him, so his mother was sure that Anika did not intend to stretch the matter and all is well.


In fact, he was now sitting at Oberoi's Gurgaon office to sign a renewed employment contract with Oberoi Shipping and Aviation, which will make him the whole sole of new Dubai offices of OBEROI Shipping. It was huge step ahead in his career at this young age. He had been invited to SSO's wedding reception like other senior staff, but alas, he got this phone call to come and urgently sign these documents. And the with delay it was taking, he was pretty sure that he would not be able to attend this high-profile party today.


What he did not know was that Shivaay Singh Oberoi had no intention to see him at his wedding reception, just like he had no intention to keep the new Dubai office afloat for long. With Payal Sen married to one of his employees N K Thakur last month in Sydney with some help from a matrimonial site, SSO had everything in place to 'TAKE CARE' of DAKSH KHURANA now.


He had planned Daksh's future in a small district of West Bengal, fighting local court cases on behalf of subsidiary factory of Oberoi's there for next two years, of course only after Dubai office will have to be shut down due to unforeseen reasons. A place where no parents would want their daughter to live, and a job profile which will show Daksh's mother what it feels like to struggle at the grass root level like Anika and an iron clad contract which blocks all his exit routes, the one he was waiting to willingly sign right now .








---------------------------------------------------------









When Shivaay had planned his honeymoon in Hawaii via Los Angeles, he had sweetly kept two days for Disneyland as well for his kids. But right now, standing in a corner of Disneyland while his wife and kids were running around like maniac's to get their pictures clicked with ALL cartoon characters, the sweetness in him had evaporated. The kids were quite disinterested at first, but seeing their mother's enthusiasm and jumping and clapping and giggling and squealing, they did not waste time and followed her suit. He knew that people get excited in places like Disneyland, but his family was setting new records. A few minutes back when these three were blabbering nursery rhymes on the top of their lungs sitting on a kiddie ride which he was forced to take with them, the amused glances of fellow riders had made him want to flee to a kingdom Far Far Away then and there.



He had not hired nanny services for their LA stay, thinking that him and Anika will manage the kids here. But now he has become the sole guardian of three kids, with the eldest being the most unmanageable. His glares had long stopped working on his wife, but even his grumbling was not working today. So he has quietly taken his place behind the camera, while his daughter dressed as princess and his son dressed as a prince posed with cartoon characters along with their mother, who was looking like a teenager in her denim capris, red top and a Minnie Mouse cap with huge ears on it. 'Well, you brought this on yourself Shivaay' he sighed as Anika requested another click in a different pose with Cinderella.



Two days later, Shivaay sighed in relief when he looked out of the glass wall of their room in Hawaii. He had rented a beach front property, with the master bedroom's glass wall overlooking the ocean. It was a duplex with kids stationed on the ground floor and them on the first floor. Anika was downstairs instructing the two nannies that have been hired to take care of Adit and Adya for next two weeks. After Disneyland fiasco he intended to make his wife pay for each and every moment of his misery, and this plush bedroom, with a large bed seemed like a very good place to start. Just then Anika came upstairs looking a little depressed, making Shivaay forget his payback plans for a moment.

SHIVAAY : 'What happened jaan?'

he hugged a distressed ANika standing in the middle of the room.

ANIKA : 'Adit Adya'

she mumbled ...

SHIVAAY : 'What about them? They don't like their nannies?'

he questioned pulling back to look into her eyes, arms still wrapped around her.

ANIKA : 'NO. They LIKE them. JUST met them and still they are okay if I leave them. They don't love me anymore. They are growing so fast'

she sniffled burying her head in his chest.

Shivaay could not help but chuckle at her jealousy with the nannies. But looked like she had taken it to her heart, so he embarked on his plan and make her forget about everything else.

SHIVAAY : 'They love you sweetheart. And they are my intelligent kids. They know that their maa and paa are here on honeymoon so they are giving us privacy'

he said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Anika smiled in spite of her off mood at his cheeky statement.

SHIVAAY : 'So Mrs. Oberoi , you should worry about your poor husband for next two weeks. And he does not mind if you start right now'

and with this he gathered her in his arms and proceeded towards the bed. After placing her there and covering the top half of her body with his own he drawled with mischief dancing in his eyes

SHIVAAY : 'What say beautiful ?'.

ANIKA : 'No. I will spend time with my fun babies. You are no fun. You are a grumpy old man who did not like Disneyland, which is like the best place on earth'

she replied with naughtiness replacing the stress in her eyes and voice.

SHIVAAY : 'What the! ... OLD MAN? ... I'll show you how old I am'

he grumbled and captured her lips into his the next second.

He spent next two hours showing his wife exactly how much 'fun' he was, and she could not agree more. She had been made to admit aloud at least a hundred times, by all sinfully mean ways possible in these two hours, that how young and irresistible her tormentor was. Her muffled moans and shuddering body were a promise in themselves that how much she would love to 'worry' about her sexy husband for the next two weeks. Later that night Shivaay was woken up by hot and wet kisses being trailed on his chest and throat by his young wife, arousing him within a fraction of a second. This was the first time she had taken the initiative, finally bold enough to not shy away from her desires anymore, making him want to passionately join her body and soul that very instant. The last coherent thought in his mind before pinning her naked body beneath his was that this is going to be one rocking honeymoon, in every sense of the word.


Other than the glass wall in their room, which made Anika shy every time they made love, another point of her concern was the kind of clothes her husband wanted her to wear in Hawaii. Bare minimum types. He had locked up her suitcases in the cupboard and the bikinis and tube tops with sarongs were the only things she had access to these days. She had smuggled his shirts initially to cover her upper body but the plan backfired, BIG TIME. His shirts had now joined her suitcases behind the lock and he roamed around in vests with knee-length shorts or jeans, making breathing difficult for her. Thankfully people did not stare here in this foreign land, had it been India she would have died of shame because of the attire choices of her VERY shameless husband. No amount of anger, cajoling , even his favorite deal striking budged him from making her wear those revealing clothes, all day long. In nights even they were discarded by him, no matter where they were, in the room or on the private beach behind the property. Showers had become a group activity, with her husband taking her to the zenith of pleasure every time he kissed and stroked her compliant body under the steamy streams of water.



Though she was not going to ever admit this to Shivaay for he might take things to next level if he finds out, but making uninhibited love on the beach under starry skies, sensuous showers with each other, moving around comfortable in her skin while being intensely gazed at and protected by her husband every time they went out had instilled a new confidence in her as a woman. Just when she tells herself that she can not love him any more than what she already does, and he goes ahead and does something that makes her heart expand, making place for some more love in it for himself. She smilingly rolled out of the bed with this thought, put on her robe and made her way down for the breakfast.



Downstairs, Shivaay was sitting with Adya and Adit on his lap listening intently as Adya was trying hard to explain something about her doll to her father. Anika's heart warmed up at the sight of her small world in front of her eyes. And it literally leapt out of joy when these three noticed her standing there and all their faces lit up. She felt like the luckiest woman alive on the face of this earth. So loved, so wanted........ And the anchor of her life were those blue green eyes, which silently asked her to join them, and she moved ahead embracing all three in hug, kissing each one with all the love in her heart.






---------------------------------------------------------







Anika looked at her husband's sleeping face next to her in the flight back home and she silently promised herself to take care of him for the rest of their lives, stand by him through all thick and thins. If she had known him this well earlier, instead of avoiding him she would have super glued herself to him, forcibly if the need had been, she chuckled. She has fallen in love with her husband's possessiveness, his anger, his inability to communicate matters of the heart in words, his kind heart behind harsh exterior and his child like vulnerability when he was sad. All these had made her more protective of him with each passing day. Don't they say that when you start loving a person's shortcomings, then you are truly in love. If that was any parameter then this man has made her HIS in all senses. Body, mind, soul, heart, in this life and next and beyond.



Right now with her kids beside her and orange yellow hues of dusk sprinkled outside, she felt like a princess who got her fairy tale and was riding into the sunset with her prince charming. She smiled and closed her eyes, to see the dreams of a beautiful tomorrow which her wonderful life partner has promised her...........

her life was PERFECT AND as for SHIVAAY he finally made a world for himself where the anchor of his world is his wife who He finalised managed to MAKE HIS ........... ONLY HIS !!!!!!!!

AND THEY LIVED FIGHTING HAPPILY EVERAFTER :)))))
