Annika and shivaay were going somewhere on her bike ...

S-annika...?where are we going?
A-patience shivaay ...(calmly)

Like this they had a long drive but suddenly the engine stopped in an empty road which is far from the city, annika checked and told that the petrol tank was empty...

S-see...ab kya karenge haan?(sternly)
A-(smiling sheepishly)yahi tho mein chahthi hoon.No one is here to disturb us (pulling him to the centre of the road)
S-matlab?
A-ok...(taking a deep breath)I'll not beat around the bush,I'll frankly open up hmm(nodding)(while he was just staring at her )

She took his right hand into her's and knelt down in front of him ...

S-anni.. (cutted by her)
A-shh...shivaay...mein na aapke saath rehna chahthi hoon hamesha hamesha ke liye (excitement clearly visible in her eyes),I want to fight with you everyday (chuckling),I want to feel your pampering everyday (cutely),I want to start and end my day with you by my side,I want to grow older with you,aur...aapke liye roz kaana... nahi nahi,vo option chod dete hain(he nodded in disbelief)aur pata nahi kya kya hai...so....ye sab karne ke liye na....(long pause)(he was insisting her to go ahead)
Ok just tell me ,will you marry me (in a hurry)
S-baby first get up (pulling her ),you might have scratches on your knees see...(dusting her dress)
A-kya?(baffled)Didn't you hear what I said?Is this your reaction?(frustrated)

He instantly winked at her and moved backwards ...

S-annika ....(spreading out both his hands and jumping in happiness)don't worry ,you are already the mother of my two children in my dream.

She bent down and blushed at that moment and when she shifted her gaze towards him instantly her blush turned into a terrible shock as she witnessed him being hit by a huge lorry. His body floated in the air and hit the ground and immediately blood glided around him...

"Shivaay"she squealed hysterically. And suddenly she found someone patting her .She opened her eyes in a rush to find herself in her bedroom...

Shalini-what happened annika(making her sit)
A-(realizing that she's been dreaming all this time)kuch nahi...bad dream(closing her eyes)
Sh-(sighing)I was scared ,see...your sweating badly ,wait( she went and decreased the AC temperature)

She gave a glass of water to annika and made her drink it.

Sh-so jao.
A-hmm(and laid back)

Though annika didn't show up she was dreadfully scared about having such a deathly nightmare.She thought of calling shivaay but since it was midnight she decided not to disturb him and eagerly awaited for the dawn.

The next day she called and spoke with him .But she was still not relieved as the dream was pricking her heart every other instant. In the office ,she was not able to concentrate on her work so she thought to leave and pulled her bag which mistakenly dragged a frame along with it and thus the photo fell on the ground.She grabbed it and immediately tears filled her eyes as it was their photo .

A-kyun ho raha hai ye sab?(crying while holding the frame close to her )

Then she tried calling shivaay but it was switched off so she called Khanna and came to know that shivaay had high fever so he is resting at home.Annika who is already thrilled going through all the sudden happenings was still more scared after listening to Khanna and she immediately left to OM.

At OM

Priyanka-annika(surprised)
A-prinku...kitni din ho gayi naa(hugging her)aur haan(caressing her stomach)congratulations to be mama.
P-Congratulations to be bhabi (teasing )

Annika smiled to her statement and instantly her eyes searched for him...

P-(realizing it)hmm...he's in his room,I stayed here to take care of him but I think there is no more necessity for it(teasing)jao(smiling) ...and haan medicines draw mein hain.

Annika nodded and went to his room,but she didn't find him there .Then she heard some noise from the restroom and she hesitantly opened it to find him throwing up in the basin.Witnout wasting a second she rushed to him and held his head while rubbing his back.

S-(saw through the mirror and realized that it was annika)annika...?

She nodded negatively and wiped his face with water and pulled his arms around her shoulder supporting him to walk and made him sit on the bed.

A-pehle kyun nahi bathaya muje? (in the verge of crying)
S-arey...( made her sit and cupped her face)itni si fever hai,tum tho aisi behave kar rahi ho jaise me mar chukka hoon.

He said it casually not knowing what was growing inside her .Realizing her silence he moved her chin up to witness tears continuously flowing from her eyes.She immediately jolted off his hands and moved aside...

S-acha teek hai I'm sorry,I won't speak like this haan sorry(trying to hold her but she was constantly jolting away )

He was continuously doing it but she was more angry on him as she was already scared and hearing those words from him was like adding fuel to the fire.Suddenly he started coughing badly,she instantly rushed and comforted him ...

S-naaraz khatam?(innocently)

She was just staring him with tons of worries on her mind.Then the servant brought the food for shivaay.After a lot of arguments he agreed to eat and she was feeding him tenderly.

S-see your hair ,ye bhi nahi kar sakthi ho tum(setting her hair and tucking it behind her ears)

Annika could do nothing but just stare at him being astounded and amused witnessing the atmost care he had for her.Even if it was the very smallest thing which troubled her ...he won't sit quite.He was her special possession which she would never dare to loose.Thinking all this again her tears dropped down on her cheecks...

S-annika...I'm fine(stressing) plss don't cry (wiping her tears).See ,I've had my food and medicines ,so tommorow I'll be fully alright .Don't cry ...

And she just nodded slightly...

S-muje restroom jana hai(diverting her)
A-I'll accompany you(getting up)
S-wah annika...so desperate haan(winking at her and went inside the restroom)

When he came out, he saw her sleeping in a very uncomfortable position.He carefully took her in his arms and laid her on the bed .He moved to the couch and slept as he doesn't want her to be ill because of him.

After sometime she woke up and saw him sleeping on the couch.Instantly she went near him and pushed herself inside the duvet along with him and stuck herself with him.Realizing this movement he slowly opened his eyes to witness her to be attached with him....

S-annika...what are you doing?you may get ill.Plss go and sleep on the bed(insisted being worried)
A-( getting more close to him)If I was  in your state ,will you stay away from me?(snuggling more)
S-aise kaise ,I wont(he replied immediately)
A-tho...mein bhi nahi(stubbornly),If your feeling any discomfort or if it is paining somewhere ...you can tell me I'll move...

Before she could complete he wrapped his hands around her and brought her on top of him while she drifted into sleep peacefully with her body completely placed on him and her head stuck on his chest.

Morning

Like always it was shivaay who woke up first and instantly a smile appeared on his face as he saw his girl sleeping peacefully on him.He kissed her hair and tried to carry her carefully fearing not to disturb her sleep but something resisted him,then he checked to find her clutching onto his collar tightly.He smiled widely and pecked her nose due to which she woke up ...

A-I'm sorry... sorry(got up and stood )is it paining...are you alright (checking his fever)
S-baby....calm down I'm perfectly alright hmm(cupping her face)

She smiled pleasantly...

That day evening ,shivaay took her shopping for tomorrow's function.But annika being still scared didn't react to anything much .While going in car she noticed that shivaay haven't put on his seat belt .Without telling anything she moved to his side and pulled out the seat belt around him and clutched it...

S-(noticing her behaviour)sab teek hai na annika?I mean is there any problem?(concerned)
A-aap teek hai na ...tho sab teek hai(smiling subtly)

They headed to the mall and they were  checking suits for him but he clearly noticed her weird behaviour so he thought to divert her .He tried a suit and asked a sales girl to correct the collar and the girl who was instantly drawn by our SSO started doing it happily .(annika didn't see this as she was turning the other side )At one point the girl moved more close to him and continued her work.

Then annika casually turned around and immediately her blood boiled watching the girl being very close to shivaay ,whereas he was standing there with a puppy face.She rushed to him...

A-I'll do it(pulling shivaay)
G-no mam it's ok ,I'll complete my work (smiling  at shivaay)
A-hey hello ,jao yahan se(jealousy at its peak)

But shivaay was enjoying this ...

And she pulled him to the other side of the store ...

A-remove this coat first(ordered)
S-why...it's perfect right?
A-no it's not(and peeled out the suit from his body)
S-so my baby is jealous haan?(smiling mischievously)

To which she glared at him...

Then she selected a suit for him and they bought it...

While paying at the counter the same girl was standing there and gawking at shivaay ,Annika clearly noticed this ...

A-baby (stressing)yahan kuch hai(dusting his ever so clean shirt)

Like this she neared him and in a rush she pecked his cheecks giving a deathly glare to the girl.Shivaay who was aware of this dragged her with him placing his hands around her waist.(and they came out of the shop)

A-shivaay...it's a public place chodiye(pulling out his hands)
S-I'm just helping you in showing the girl that I'm only yours(innocently)
A-you're only mine?(huskily)
S-obviously.
A-chalo teek hai phir, (made him hold her waist)you have to select a dress for me come...

The space between your fingers are meant to be filled with mine❤
