Reading the message for fifth time now she shyly smiled, don't know what to feel and how to react. She never knew someone would do such for her but as Shivay is changing her life, her reasons of happiness and fulfilling her every wish is making her loose herself to him even more.

"Come soon D" the last message popped up making her even more restless to meet him.

Why is it always amazing to slip out secretly and meet him, why does the fear of getting caught crawles up and down her vein when she plans something mischievous with her partner in crime? Why do all the moments so adventures when he is around and just knowing he is around why her cheeks grew warm everytime? Thinking such she smiled yet again trying to feel that special feeling which denied to leave her for even a moment these days.

"Please come soon, mosquitoes are having a great time giving me love bites" another message popped catching her attention to it and she smiled bright walking down her bed.

In the last half an hour of their conversation she just said an yes to his proposal and agreed to go and meet him stealthily yet again and this time she jumping out hiding from everyone. Excitement flew down her blood. She smiled mischievously looking at the sleeping figure of her sister beside her. Remembering the conditions she huffed but again grinned remembering their perfect plan of meeting each other at this late hour of the night when everyone else is sleeping. She hurriedly went towards the cupboard and took out a saree and rushed to the washroom never letting her smile to drop.

Up there mosquitoes are seriously having a great time having a feast of great SSO's blood, probably bitter but tasty according to the poor mosquitoes. For Anika any bite is love bite for him, obviously not from any other female. First time these feelings are running through him which is making him feel most special. A tinge of her smile can light up his mood and a sad pout can play a harsh role over the same. Thinking such he remembered the last two days when they decided not to meet respecting the decision of the elders'.

But those two days were worst according to them, they have not messaged other thinking to test where their relation lies when they are away completely and at the end they just discovered that none can stay without the other. Thus, the message tone beeped from both the side almost at the same time. He checked the yes getting more happy and shooing away a mosquito that was singing a not so pleasant song near his ear.

Wearing the saree, she blushed staring at the mirror but soon remembered that her Mr. is waiting, so holding up the blush she covered her face using the saree's veil. She quietly tiptoed and opened the main door of her residence and went out locking the safety door and keeping the actual door open. She looked here and there just to spot darkness and no one present. Fearing a bit she felt even more excited to meet him like this.

"I bought the apartment just in front of your's so that I get to see you from terrace and my window" she remembered what he revealed through his message just an hour ago making her gasp loudly but then making her feel special at the same time.

The SSO is doing Romeo kind of stuffs just for her, and this thought was enough to make her cheeks warm ever again. But she needed a sentence to cover up her feelings and went ahead.

"You are mad SSO" she murmured hopping up the stairs to go to the terrace.

The night sky was enough dark along with few stars dimming. She checked the terrace of the building in front of her's to find no one. A sudden fear gripped her heart, she don't know why but she felt a different type of fear, it was as if she would die hundreds to times at that very moment to see him once, atleast once.

"Hello to be wifey" he shocked the hell out of her by his sudden call and his choice of words.

She didn't even look up and hugged him as the reflex to her shock and fear ever so tightly letting a breath of relief.

He was near her after so long, she could feel him and hug him. She could show her fake anger and pout to make him agree to her. Thinking everything positive she tightened the hold loving this, a lot. He understanding her thoughts smiled bright just to know that it is him, only and only him who has this right, the right to touch her. Intimately and hold her close to his heart which beats fast feeling her close, holding her into his hold.

"Woo, this reaction was unexpected" saying so he hugged her back more tightly, almost crushing her, resting his chin over her shoulder and breathing out hot air over her bare skin making her clutch his shirt.

After all the long wait of two days had to end in some way or the other. And at last these restless souls decided to meet up at the terrace after everyone goes to dreamland, and the unique idea of Mr. Desparate Singh Oberoi. He asked her to wear a saree and hide her face using the saree's veil where as he covered his face wearing a monkey cap. Like see how much desparate a soul can be. She unwillingly loosened her hold over him still not wanting to leave him fearing to feel the same restlessness she felt in these last two days.

"Missed me?" he asked holding her hand protectively not letting her warmth go away surrounding his aura.

"A lot stupid, see for your stupid plan of unplanned marriage we both are suffering" she complained forming a pout unknowingly and tried distancing herself to show her anger but little did she knew that anger is not the term used to describe her feelings.

As she tried to walk forward he pulled her towards him that resulted a collision of her back over his chest and letting the pallu slip of her head. Not wanting to break the conditions Shivay immediately closed his eyes and adjusted the saree over her head and then lowered his chin and rested it over her shoulder.

"Sorry darling" he breathed out the words in her ear making her go numb with the sudden change of events.

She stood still stuck to his chest not wanting to move away. Hearing no response from her, he slowly brushed his fingers forward through her uncovered waist very slowly circling it around. She gasped loudly leaving hot breaths inside her saree's veil.

"Sorry D" his voice became more huskier as his fingers dug over her skin getting lost in that puzzle.

She threw her head back letting him pinch over her waist and fan his hot breath over her lobes. A thin thread of sanity hold them close, yet far because they knew what their limits are.

"Let's go, I have something planned for you" he slowly parted fearing to loose himself.

Feeling awkward she stood straight looking at him in awe, how can a man be so amazingly awesome. How can a man know how to win a girl who has never valued a relationship like marriage before she entered into his life.

"Where are you lost?" he jerked her looking at her staring him out with smile over her face and magical emotion into her eyes.

"Thinking about you" she answered absentmindedly but the next moment regretted it as his grin grew wide knowing that she even dreams about him when he is close.

He walked close brushing his magical fingers over her exposed waist yet again making the hold protective and tight.

"Checking me out huh?" he had his grin up not wanting to leave the chance.

She looked down at her feet nodding a no. How he wanted to have a look at her face, because if feeling her in his arms can make him go insane then what will a look of her do to him. Her eyes, her pouty lips and her perfect nose, just perfect. Everything perfect.

They went down tiptoeing holding hands and stealthily went past Anika's apartment's main entrance where the watchman was happily sleeping snoring loudly.

"I will sue this watchman one day, look at him, is he here to sleep?" Anika frowned wanting to go and give a tight smack over watchman's head.

Before time Shivay held her and explained that it is good for them as they are walking out. Anika felt stupid but being a responsible citizen of her society she did not let her anger over that watchman lessen to zero and promised to herself to teach the watchman a lesson after her marriage. Shivay agreeing to her demand smiled and pulled her along with him fearing if the watchman wakes up suddenly. She is indeed a fighter woman. Thinking such he smiled but again gave a pull and at last put her up in his arms when she almost went to smack the watchman.

After reaching inside the elevator Shivay placed Anika down letting her feet balance herself to the gravitational pull. She was stunned and a flow of emotion excited her feeling a protective hold around her in air for the very first time. She blushed and not wanting to become more desparate to have a look at his face she glued her stare to the elevator's floor.

Reaching to Shivay's floor they walked towards his apartment and as Shivay opened the door and welcomed Anika inside, flowers showered over her welcoming her. She noticed the pathway of flowers that led to a table decorated beautifully for a candle light dinner. Shivay was long gone from her side and she realised it feeling him kneeling down holding her hand. She gasped and her heartbeat raised to infinity, probably skipping three beats at once.

"Anika, our marriage is indeed an arranged one but before you accept me as your husband and we get tied up forever because of others I just want to ask you, will you marry me? Will you please complete my life by your presence in it, will you please become my strength for all the lifetimes we take birth? Please Anika, will you marry me?" it was a plead more than a proposal.

It sounded as if he would die the very moment she denies. She was spellbound to reply anything as her eyes welled up. Looking at his protective hold over her hand a tear oozed out tracing down the path of her cheeks.

"I will Shivay, I will forever be there for you. I will" she said and pulled him up and hugged him tight letting her emotions flow down. He as if got the world and without any thoughts allowed his tears of happiness to come down to wet her.

The journey of marriage started, the journey to make each other feel special has started, they just knew one thing, that they can't leave without each other now. Spending some more time together but not revealing their faces they decided to go out for a walk before Anika goes back to her house.

The night shifted to dawn as the groom managed to win his bride and they jumped around the empty road until a police came running behind them thinking them to not be normal people and shouted aloud saying that he will lock them behind the bars. This run broke them into laughter and they reached inside Anika's building again as Shivay pulled her up into his hold and swirled her cutting through the air smiling aloud. The smiles felt so correct, so special and so soothing.

More two days and they decidedly planned not to meet each other again but stay in touch through messages and Shivay bid her good bye.

Arrange Marriage, what they hated has changed their life to good, but will it really be good? Is putting up a marriage so easy? Will they be together forever? Not knowing the answers and shrugging off these negative thoughts they slipped into the dream land of their future together.
