The conversation took a long pause as the shock was big and sudden for the bride. It's her engagement in two days and she is getting to know suddenly. If it was any other bride then for sure she would have killed her would be husband beforehand. But it's Anika, and he is Shivay.

"Are you freaking mad? What do you mean by this sudden engagement? How will guests arrive? We have sent the cards just today, how will we arrange everything, moreover what about our clothes? Shivay dont do this please" she requested trying to postpone the engagement but he won't in any situation. According to him, he want the marriage to be in most unplanned way ever as possible.

To the God's, no to Shivay's mercy everyone should rejoice that he has disclosed about the engagement a day before. Anika for once thought that what might have happened if he would have announced this the night prior to the engagement day.

"Why are you doing this Shivay? What fun are you getting by all these?" she asked at last in a raised voice not caring about Ishana sleeping beside her.

"It will be fun, believe me. See if you don't do something different then how will this marriage become memorable to everyone? Just think, Rudra explaining about our marriage to the next generation and the next generation listening to it with an O shaped mouth, they dreaming and deciding of doing something of same type" Shivay's thrilled voice had no impact.

Her breathing increased in tension and Ishana got up.

"Di are you fine?" Ishana asked from side. Anika gave a nod and signed her to go back to sleep. But then soon she jerked Ishu and informed her about her engagement, ooppss... sudden engagement.

"I will manage everything, don't worry. Now you just sleep peacefully after you finish speaking to Shivay bhaiya" Ishana moved a bit and turned to other side.

"D, you just relax... everything would be according to plan. Now listen to me, according to card dates guests will start to come from tomorrow. For engagement we will get a good number of our relatives by our side and that I believe by heart. About shopping I have another plan... you wanna listen?" he took a pause throwing the most unwanted question of that time.

"If I deny, then too you will say... so just say" she said irritatingly.

"Yeah... so I was thinking to send elders of Oberoi family and Mukherjee family for shopping tomorrow. They will go together and will have fun, they will get to know each other more as well, so one meeting and two important task would be completed" he excitedly disclosed the entire plan. But she on the other side was completely immersed in the world of tension. No excitement showed up on her face.

"Are you there D? Or you slept?" he desparately asked getting no response but the sound of breathing increased for few moments and then it slowed down.

"I am here" she silently answered exhaling the entire lung volume.

" Don't you have faith in me? Don't you think that I would make our marriage the most memorable one?" he had no other option than calming her down, or else if the bride falls sick because of constant tension then with whom would he marry.

"I have faith in you Bub, but it's just that our guests might become offended" she was thinking about the entire society. Quite justified.

"Don't worry, everything would be very fine and one more thing, tomorrow I will make you meet a girl, named Soumya... she is Rudra's friend and she wants to do a part time job apart from the one she is indulged in right at this moment, so I thought to give her the responsibility of our wedding preparation" he has an unknown magical faith over Soumya and this special feeling got reflected over his sentence.

"You said she is Rudra's friend so will she be able to..." Anika doubted not knowing who Soumya is and in what sense she is Rudra's friend.

"Well Anika there is a long story and I don't want to make you sad by narrating it right at this moment, so let's leave it for now and don't you worry... yeah it's true that Soumya is Rudra's friend but she is a complete different personality with many special abilities inside her, and all these gets reflected in her every move.

A tinge of jealousy shook Anika's nerve, she could sense the immense care Shivay has towards Soumya but somewhere it deeply affected her. She knew that it is brotherly love but somewhere she felt bad and that made her ashamed of herself.

"She is my sister D" he assured her, she doesn't know why he suddenly said that but this particular sentence relaxed her heart.

He perfectly managed to crosscut her insecurity and soothed her. Their conversation continued till the dawn and the couple discussed over everything no one can imagine. He tried to know about her favourites and teased her on the fact that she still loves cartoon and comments over every episode like a child. Tom and Jerry came out as both of their favourite cartoon and they discussed particular episodes. Anika decided to be the Tom while Mr. Shivay Singh Oberoi chose to be the Jerry. They laughed off. And at the end of the night, they slept holding the phone close to their heart.

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

He got up early and immediately called everyone at hall for the most urgent meeting.

"It's my engagement tomorrow" he closed his eyes to recieve the rant but he recieved deep sighs instead.

"Relax please, we are actually going for shopping today... relax relax" he explained his shopping plan for the elders and everyone seemed excited for few moments but as soon Pinky cracked her worry about the guests, tension and worried expression return.

"Most of the guest would be here for engagement tomorrow, Mom... I promise you that" Shivay held her mother's hand and assured.

"Let's go for shopping, let's go mummy ji" Pinky encouraged everyone and blinked her eye lash looking at Shivay assuring him.

"Love you Mom, you are the best" Shivay hugged his mother and dropped a kiss over her forehead.

"Ishana will accompany her parents, so you will be getting her help too. Her taste for clothes and designs are super great. And she being a dancer, she knows about designs and colours of dresses more than anyone else" Om said dreamily and wished to go too but his presence in office is much more important and he himself is super strict in case of work.

"So everything is sorted, enjoy everyone" Shivay said and thumbed up.

Elders got ready soon and went to shop for the engagement of The Shivay Singh Oberoi.

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

Within an hour media and press showed up in Oberoi Mansion and started taking their seats. White covered seats were arranged in a queue and it got filled up soon. A stand was kept in middle but no such stage got located. Press and media person talked amongst each other wondering the sudden cause of the meet.

"Good Morning everyone" the greeting in baritone grabbed attention of every camera and microphone.

"You all are here today to get the most awaited news of this year, everyone of you were wondering and were excited about my marriage since last two years and finally now I have decided to settle down too in my life. I got that imperfect girl who is the most perfect one for me and my life. Yes, it's true that Shivay Singh Oberoi's marriage is fixed and the good news is, tomorrow is my engagement" he held a mysterious pause surprising everyone.

For few moments press and media person were awestruck to ask any question. But his voice brought them back to reality.

"You all are invited, to all those business person and my relatives and relatives of Ms. Anika Mukherjee, I want to apologise for this sudden announcement but it would be immense pleasure from our side to see you all taking part in the first auspicious ritual of our marriage. We would love to have you all present over here by tomorrow morning as I mark the start of the new journey of my life. I apologise once again for this sudden decision" he said folding hands.

"Sir, can we see the face of the girl who swayed your heart?" a reporter questioned.

"Definitely, but you will see her in person. Let she be the secret until tomorrow. Because she looks more gorgeous in person as compared to photos" Shivay answered smiling dreamily.

He went inside after the blockbuster announcement and the media and press personnel started to decide the headline for the hot news and the most TRP rates news of that month.

Anika too saw the news on a website and became proud, not only of her Shivay but of herself too. She has always preffered humanly presence everywhere if it's matter of her identity and he has very proudly respected that.

"One of the heartthrob of recent generation Mr. Shivay Singh Oberoi has lastly decided to marry breaking the hearts of many girls. He very sweetly announced his engagement date and requested other big industrialists and his relatives to take part in it. It is indeed a shocking news for everyone but let's wait for few more hours to know that who is that girl who swayed away the heart of Mr. Shivay Singh Oberoi? Stay tuned to our portal to know more about this celebrated marriage of the year" a lady reporter dramatically uttered those words as she held the mic close to her mouth and threw up the other hand in any random direction.

Anika soon dialled Shivay's number smiling broadly. He picked it up in no ring, as if the man was waiting for his lady to call.

"You definitely has broken many girls heart" she commented sarcastically suppressing her laugh and blush.

"What to do, the woman on the other side of the call has taken the charge of every organ inside this poor Shivay" he said.

"Stop trying to be romantic, it doesn't suit you" she said getting the feeling of the most special girl.

"Ohhhh is it?" she hummed in response to this question of his.

"Then let me marry you soon" his voice returned to becoming cheesy.

"Desparate Singh Oberoi" she said and cut the call uttering a bye.

A message popped up soon that read "can't wait to meet you today evening and choose the dress for you" her smile held intact.

"Concentrate over your work" she replied back making him smile even more.

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

Omkara and Shivay remained busy handeling the calls because of this sudden announcement that side while this side Ishana and Anika became irritated answering that yes Ms. Anika Mukherjee is the one from their family as their relatives asked for double confirmation after getting the cards too.

The relatives of both the family seemed more happy and excited and this gave peace to their head. He was happy, more than ever. And she was very happy that she can't even express in words. Few guests dropped from heaven to Oberoi Mansion and few on Anika's house. And lastly after feeding them welcome snack they got sent to the hotel personally and specially booked for the guests of Shivay Singh Oberoi and Anika Mukherjee's marriage. The celebration got started, and they still couldn't believe that they are going to marry. The most important celebration of their life until.

He dressed up good and drenched himself in perfume and she came for shopping directly from her office. Ishana didn't go back as she met everyone else and Rudra directly came from his office too. Om and Prinku were stuck in the traffic as they informed. Om is coming from a meeting after getting freshened up and picking up Prinku from Oberoi Mansion. They waited in a coffee shop as Soumya showed up.

"Rudra" she called in a womanly way.

"Bhaiya Soumya is here" Rudra announced being happy and welcoming Soumya to join their group.
