Hummmm.........hummmmm........haaaa....haaaa........he woke up listening this hymn from somewhere.

It refreshed his mind in the early morning. The morning rays of sun tingling on his face and that sweet fainting voice sang a Good morning song for him.

Since when did girls started singing early in morning in Oberoi mansion??" he wondered yawning.

His got up lazily dragging himself towards the tone. As he headed further, he could hear a clear song. And to his surprise, it was from her.

She was playing with the butterflies in the garden which always gave her an immense pleasure. The fresh air and greenery all around her was soothing her soul from all the worldly pains.
She started plucking the flowers from the garden and continued to sing.

He was first of all shocked with her presence at this time "I m not dreaming, right??" he questioned himself. " the other thing, what's wrong with her attire today??" He wondered. And asusual she looked beautiful.

He stood there, facing her back. As he observed, she looked perfect for him. He crossed his hands, against his chest, carefully checking her from top to bottom.

She wore a black n pink ghagra.(gujarathi style) her hair was perfectly braided with some streaks waving and dancing along with the breeze. Her black blouse had a deep back neck with a mirror stitched lace, contrasting her milky white back with a pretty dori dangling accordingly to her moves.

She was waving her head according to the hymn and he continued to look at her with amusement when her chandbaalis danced as per the rhythm.

All the while, there was a smile playing on his lips "My panika..!!." a small voice whispered inside.

Dadi came searching for Anika and she stopped noticing her grandson's smile "Mata rani kare...yeh gadha apne feelnigs ko samjhe...aur anika ko samjadhee"

She stepped slowly towards him and patted him slightly on his shoulders "anika is too pretty....hain na?? He blurted out.

A smile appeared over her face, hearing him "toh bol de use tumhare man ne kya hain??"

Shivaay jerked instantly, turning to her "Dadi!! Aap!! there's nothing in my mind. Nothing!" He stuttered "I have some work" he quickly walked away.

" Bhagoo!! Kab tak aisa kar pavoge. Mujh se toh sahi, khud se kaise bhag loge, billu" she smiled, walking towards Anika.

"Anika puttar!!kaam khatam ho gaya toh pinky ke paas javo. She needs ur help. pandit ji, will be arriving at any time.
.......................

As she walked through the corridor, she saw Omru. " You are looking so pretty didi. You are our lucky angel di." Rudra praised, hugging her.

"what do you want Rudra? Itni taarif kis baat ki?" Anika asked, hugging him back.

"Kyunki, agar tum nai hoti toh, we could never find out Tia's motives. You saved our shivaay." Om thanked her.

That name brought a zillion shivers down her spine.

" Its nothing like that, aap log kuch jyada hi tarif kar rahe hai meri. I have always felt you as my family and itna toh family ke liye kar hi sakthe hai."

"Then don't leave us Anika di." Rudra's smile faded away.

"Waise mein kaha jaa rahi ho! Idhar hi toh rahungi. You can come and meet me when ever you want Ru" Anika smiled sadly.

Her POV:

Kash aisa ho pata Rudra. I never wanted to leave this family. But now I had too. Tumhare bhai ko na mujh par bharosa hi nai hai.
....................

After sometime:

Everyone gathered for in the living room and the hawan was about to start.
.........................
Flash back:

Anika proved Tia's evil intentions before the marriage. Kapoors and daksh were arrested for betraying Oberois.

Daksh stalked anika according to Tia's instructions as they were already friends from childhood. After this high voltage drama at Oberoi mansion, Dadi decided to perform a hawan which was believed to be sacred and removes all the evil.

Flash back end
............................

Shivaay walked down, only staring at Anika. She sensed his gaze on her yet looked away.

Tejanvi and Shinky were performing the pooja and all the youngsters settled themselves in the back. Shivaay immediately sat beside Anika

Anika could feel her heart pounding against her chest. She was getting uncomfortable now. Sitting right beside him and acting normally, as if nothing happened in between them was the difficult task for her. She decided to get up and leave when shivaay held her hand and made her sit, this time more close to him.

He didn't let go off her hand. She finally gave up the thought and sat there calmly as she know he was "The Stubborn singh oberoi"
.........................

Everyone retired to their rooms after the pooja and Anika slowly walked upto dadis room.

Dadi and om were listening to our Rudy's special date the before day.
She stopped at the entrance thinking what to do when dadi saw her.

"Anika puttar!" She exclaimed " Tu waha kyu ruk gayi?? Andhar aa ja."

Anika entered the room and sat beside dadi. she had a nervousness over her face.

"Do you wanna say something thing to me?" Anika was startled by her question yet she thought it's better to close the matter right now and then.

"Wo dadi," She took out a paper from her chikni and gave it to dadi.

"What is this?" She enquired.

"Resignation letter" Anika whispered.

"Kyaa?" Omkara half-yelled. "Anika mein jantha tha tu hame chod kar ja rahi hai. Par itni jaldi ky?"

"Dadi, Omru, I came here as a wedding planner for billuji's marriage and now it's not gonna happen. Soo I guess I have no work to do now and I want to continue my catering business." She concluded.

"Par puttar! Shivaay ke shaadi toh kabhi na kabhi hona hi tha"

"Haa dadi! I know jab billuji shaadi karenge tab phir se jaroor avungi."

Om was about to say something but dadi hushed him.

"Accha teek hain! Go and give this letter to your boss only." She ordered.

"Par dadi aisa kyu?" She pouted sadly "please! give this letter to him" she requested.

"Toh mein nahi leene wali yeh letter. If you are going to resign, give it to billu, not me." Dadi faked anger.

Anika had no option left now except to see him again. She nodded and took her steps towards his room.
....................

As she reached his room, she saw Shivaay was working on his presentation. She stood rooted at her place thinking what to talk to him.

"Anika! Come in." His voice startled her.

Anika's POV:

How can he feel me anywhere? If he can really, then why can't you understand my feelings Shivaay? Why do you have to hurt me always? Janthe huai bhi yeh sab kar rahe ho ya sach mein mujhe samaj nahi pa rahe ho?

She was lost in her thoughts when shivaay stood up and walked up to the entrance. He went dangerously close to her and stared into her eyes for a few seconds before catching her wrist and pulled her inside along.

"Kya hua anika? Are you okay??? Is there anything you want to tell me?" He looked concerned but she was lost in his Khanji eyes.

Suddenly she pushed him back and handed over her resignation letter to him.

"What's this?" He opened the letter in haste and he narrowed his eyes at her "Resignation?" He asked surprised.

She nodded. "But why?"

"Jab appki shaadi hi ho nahi rahi hain then what is the point of staying here? I have no work here now." She answered reluctantly not looking in to his eyes.

"But..." he mumbled "but...you can't leave me like this"

Wait! What did he say? Anika looked at him in shock.

"I mean all.. all of us. You can't leave my family and go. They all love u a lot.

"I will come and meet them whenever they need me. Don't nt worry, even I love your family a lott." She said, bitting back her tears.

After listening to her, Shivaay didn't know what to say. He had no reason left to stop her from this stupid resignation.

"You can live happily now because from tomorrow there is no need to see my face. There will be no one to irritate you anymore and also no one to be fighting with you." Not waiting for his reply, she ran out of the room.
.......................

Omru n soumya r sitting quietly immersed in their thoughts.....
Ru:: we have to find out sum way ....

Somu:: haa bade baal wale bhaiah....they both r too stubborn to accept their feelngs....atleast anyone has to confess their feelngs ......😯😯😯

Somu:: yes bhaiah...but i thnk we have to give a memorable farewell to didi.....wich ll bring a smile to her face.....

Rudy:: got a khidkithod idea......we ll make a video for her expressng how imp she is to us.......
Three of them liked d idea.....
...................

Finally wid a great effort they finished d video wid all d jham tham......somu silently peeped into shivaays room....he is saturated wid his own thoughts......

Somu:: bade bhaiah....here s a cd ...have a look at it n we wish ki ap bhi ek video banade.....aftrall she is a piece of our family...n i know very well ki u always treated her d same.....

Shi:: noo soumya...i dnt get involved in such silly thngs...u know i ll always have lots of work to accomplish....jo bhi banana tha ap log kijeye....

Somu:: but do watch it bhaiah...n she leaves
Shivaay watched d video wid a heavyheart.....he cannot deny d fact tht he is sad but on d other hand he cannot accept his feelngs for her......

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

Somu n rudra gave d cd to anika as their special thofa n told her to watch it for sure before she took a leave from her family........

Anika packed all her stuff n for d very last time had a look at her room wich dadi alotted her on d first day of her arrival.....she had sum wonderful memories wich can instantly bring butterflies in her stomach......her brain played a rewind mode of all those incidents....but d only common thng in all des scenes was tht one person who changed her in many ways.....who became her support at d most unexpected times ......who hurted her a lott tearng her apart during d most desperate times....

Tht video made her cry ... she tried her best to compose herself....cryng was weakness to her n she dint want to becum weak

She entered shivaays room....she felt relieved tht d room was empty....

She walked quietly towards his bed n placed d laptop der n she had a last glance of d whole room which had a lot of memories of him.....

For a moment she wanted to see her billuji for once.....but tht ll break her completely n she never wanted tht.....she is desperate to hear his voice fr d last tym.....

With all these thoughts she was abt to leave d room.....

N suddenly she heard wat she wanted.....
"Anikaaaa......."

Her heart skipped a beat and her throat clenched as she heard him frm behind her....tears sprang into her eyes and her breathing hitched... her body automatically stopped as if him saying her name had all d power in d world to stop her.....
She turned around to see him.....

N to her surprise it was him but not d real him....d video strtd playng.....

Fb...
Wen somu gave d lappy to shivaay...it was still on recordng n sumthng got recorded......

Shivaay doesnt know how to react to anikas gesture.....he spoked his heart out n he doesnt know tht got recorded.....
...............

Shivaay stood at d pool side n he can feel her by her mere presence...wen she entered d room...he sensed her close to him n wen he searched her.....she was jus infront of his sight standng in d room wid a surprised look on her face.......

In d video.....
"anikaa.......i never wanted u to leave.....i always wanted our cat fights to be long lasting...i want to get irritated by u evrytime...i want to tease u n fight wid u for no reason.........ur presence make me alive...

U always make me annoyed wid ur habits...but u know wat those wer ur cutest gestures......d way u put azeeb names for me....i never have those many tags for me......

Being d most stubborn man, U r only one i have who can convince me ...who can make me agree on ur point of view...... U make me a better person anika.....

Wat would i do now if u leave me jus like tht...??? Wid whom shuld i fight now....??? Wid whom shuld i experience d stealing glances....??

U know me very well...then u shuld also know tht i m very bad at expressing my emotions out......i cant stay away from u anika.....who ll throw tht tankers of water on me now???

I dnt know d thng wich is btw us??? I want ur explaination for tht coz u r d only one who can make me understand......
I want u to stay back......."

Wen d video stopped anika is not in a condition to bury d stuff which she is holdng till now.....

She bursted into tears......tht sea of emotions wich she hided wid a fake smile strtd outflowng........
Shivaay who was watchng all dis came near her......

She gave him a yeh sab kya hain wala look....

He grabbed her waist wid his left hand n pulled her closer.....n rubbed d tears wich made her look even more prettier.......

His touch brought a warmth all over her body ........she shut her eyes tightly
Shi:: dnt leave me......

Ani:: wat do u thnk of urself...???

Shi:: anika.... he was abt to say sumthng n she stopped him...

Ani:: app ke man mein akhir kya hain....?? Kabhi yeh kahthe hain ki mein tumhare bina rah nahi saktha hoon...aur kabhi yeh kahthe hain ki she is obsessed wid me....mein tia ki jagah lena chahthi thi......sumtimes u call me cute n sumtimes i ll becum a gold digger for u......

Shivaay wid a confused look... "wat d wuck...!!!!R u crazy???? Y ll i call u a gold digger???"

Ani:: dnt lie mr.shivaay singh oberoi....i heard tht from u.....aur....aur... me...mein.. pagal thi....aisi.... insaan se pyaar kar baiti thi .....jinhe meri koyi value hi nahi thi........

She was cryng terribly not even in a condition to utter a single word......
Shivaay ::wait a sec.... wat did u say???

Ani:: i heard u wer sayng tht i m obsessed wid u......n i was jealous of tht lady baba......

Shi:: u r really impossible anika....i was repeating d same thng to om wich tia told me.....n wat did u say aftr tht....??? U .....u.....???

Ani:: wat did i say??? I said tht u shuld stop lieing....

Shi:: Nooooooo!!!!!!! Aftr tht......??????
Anika paused for a moment thinkng....she sniffed n said "i ...i said ...tht i heard u talkng about me...."

"Uhhhhh.....Noooooo" he shouted in frustration...... "USSSSKEEEE BAAAAD??????"

Ani:: kya uske baad uske pehle laga rakha hain??? Mein ne sirf itna hi bola....ki aapp mere bare bahot bura sochthe hain...aur mein ap jaise insaan pyar karne lagi thi......aur app mujhe samajthe hi nahi hain....apko teh bhi nahi pat.............

She dint get a chance to complete.....
cause shivaay lips came crashng onto hers......

Tht was sumthng wich she never expected ......a wave of electricity flared up her body activating each and evry cell in her body..she shut her eyes tightly n her hand caught handfuls of her lehanga into a tight fist.......💏💏💏💏💏💏

Shivaay drew back breathng havily..he rested his forehead aginst hers....his heart hammering against his chest......

"anika..." he whispered..his voice suddenly husky..... " i always knew der was sumtng special btw us....bt today i know fr sure dat watevr dat is btw us its ishq!!...ur d only one for me and and u made turned me into sumtng i nevr thought i wld be..." He smiled.... " u turned me into an ishqbazz.......I luv u panikaaaa..."

He leaned in...and slightly tilted her chin and captured her lips once more.......

Dis tym anika responded... as she heard d three magical words from him wich she never ever expected from tht akhdu......

As his lips moulded soflty against hers..... her hand traced across his chest...one hand clutched his collar while d other found its way to his hair...her fingers gently entangled themselves into his soft locks...

Feelng her touch he leaned in pulling her closer....his arm wounded tightly around her waist.....

Anika heart felt as if it would explode any minute nw...it felt as if all her senses were cut off and all she could feel was him....her body flushed wid heat as he pulled her even more tightly against him...his hold was gettng painfully tight bt its was not tight enough fr her....wherever his fingers touched her dat part of her skin flamed up.....he held her gently as well as strongly against him...as if he could sumhw pull her inside him...make her a part of him....her heart pounded in her ears and all she could hear was ...Shivaay Shivaay Shivaay"

She didnt bother to question watevr was happeng...cause it felt right...she finaly felt complete...

As their lips moved in sync d salty taste of sumones tears were on dem..

She had no idea fr hw long dey stood like dat..bt finally when her lungs threatened to burst she parted frm gasping fr breath....he pulled her close breathing hard enfolding her in his arms....she hid her face in his chest smiling fr d first tym dat eveng
"i luv u shivaaaay......"
