Thank you for voting 😊

Annika slid down the windshield looking at her sisters who stood waving hands with a teared yet smiling faces. Her inner turmoil was growing more when she realized that she was neither going to have silly fights with shalini nor Resh would feed her till the door when she's running for work ,anymore. Her day is going to change entirely without the presence of them. She felt like crying much ,but controlled those tears somehow.

Them ,who decided to play strong infront of their sister who's ahead of beginning a new life just behaved usual and waved hands . Shalini might have known annika since few months but time doesn't matter when the bond we share with the person evolves strong .They were not only sisters rather close friends too, a group of three friends ! They would miss each other like anything ,but can't help . It is like a universal nature for girls to leave their family back home after marriage .

Her tears betrayed emerging fast ,when she felt the engine to have been started. She lend her hand outside and Resh held it at once . She seemed a little kid crying infront of the school gate .

R- we will visit you often and would you stay idle ? Tum bhi aaogi na , rona nahi annika .

She pacified her ,bending close she wiped her tears and placed a soft kiss on her cheecks .

Annika didn't reply anything rather just put on a weak smile . That's when she felt their intertwined fingers and turned to face him who was seated beside her. He blinked slowly accompanied with an assuring smile and she tried smiling suppressing her tears. There was merely any exchange of words but he clearly understood what she was going through at this moment . Indeed , siblings are like our own belongings leaving whom would definitely be painful . He had felt it too,

She responded him with a slight nod prolonged with a wide smile and looked out again. She waved them bye ,through the windshield as the car pulled .

She smiled looking at him when priyanka took the Aarthi while daadi stood adoring the scene feeling contented.

She adjusted holding her skirt a little above to imprint those red patches through the way and he helped engulfing her sideways . She enjoyed these rituals which seemed new and exciting .

P - daadi, next vo haldi stamp waali thing na ?

She asked passing a smile on annika who looked at her confused .

D- tumhe ye sab koi game diktha hai ?

Daadi smacked her slightly while annika continued the rituals .

Daadi asked them to come to the mandir, when priyanka sided near annika and whispered,

P- sach bolo, these are damn interesting right ? Ye prints of red feet and yellow palms !

She nudged her shoulders and giggled to which annika smiled shaking her head .

S- lo , you two girls have started already ! Do anything but don't get caught by daadi haan ? She believes in all this ,

He insisted and priyanka immediately came infront facing him .

P- haa haan! Don't worry, your wife will be taught of all ways to stay protected from daadi's rules .

She said imitating a strict self and shivika smacked her at once from both the sides making her frown .

Shalini opened the cupboard to change and saw annika's shelf empty . The room was stuffed with annika's memories, for her to get lost in . Their dressing table where all her bangles and earrings hung, mentioned their silly fights which arose everyday just to use the other's things . She chuckled sadly, within a short period she had developed such a bond with her which made her feel emotional .

She traversed her sight on the mirror which imaged the exact her ,clearly depicting her sister's memories . True that, a life of twins would be much integrated together .

It takes time to accept everything which would turn to another side of usuality when it becomes a routine. That's nature which is aided by time !

He entered the room to find it beautifully decorated all over, a strong grin surrounded his face .

A- haan sasha , I'll be there in two days . So until then handle everything , wait for my mail or call before finalizing anything . I'll have to know every move going on there ok ? Keep me updated regularly ,

She came from the pool side engrossed in call with her PA. With all the rituals going on still, she could not just leave her work back .

Watching him there she lip mouthed "two minutes" and resumed back to the call .

Completing the call she stood baffled on finding the room empty , that's when she heard the splashy sound . Making way towards the pool she saw him to have been seated dipping his legs in water.

She pulled her skirt above securing it from the water before settling beside him .

S- someone's so busy haan ?

He spoke with his gaze fixed on the clear water listening to which she immediately encircled her arms around him ,sideways .

A- haan ! Hoon mein busy ,after all . Ain't I the wife of Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi ? The ultimate workaholic whom I've ever known!

She stated cutely while he smiled wide before pulling her close .

They just stayed there feeling their moment , as she leaned on his chest . He bent down to look at her who again turned hiding her face in his embrace, his shy girl!

She smiled listening to his heartbeat which exactly felt to have been in sync with her's . That was magical !

" I love you shivaay " she whispered beneath her voice which he heard .

S- kuch kaha?

She nodded before looking at him ,

A- I love you !!

She shouted extending her arms without noticing what he actually did .

Her mouth turned round when she felt her entire self floating in air with his arms securing her .

A - won't you respond ..?!

She spoke wounding her arms around his neck while he acted idle without any reaction .

Placing her on the bed gently, he looked at her. Those dove shaped eyes edged with the thick liners enhanced those beautiful orbs which had everything to hold him captivated .

Her arms smoothly relaxed down to trace through his neck and get locked behind to hold him close . The moment was something else to be sorted with words as both were literally drowned together.

He noticed her merely opened eyes as she had already gazed down , revealing those nude shades of eye shadow which shaped her eyes so well.

A- aapse kuch poochoon?

She asked with still not looking at him and he clipped out her ghunghat getting a clear view of her face .

S- haan,

A- it's going to be a year since we met ... when did you realize that you love me ?

She asked as her palm played tracing patches on his skin near his neck region.

S- pata nahi.

He replied smiling ,and she frowned.

A- this is not the right answer .

He chuckled and gently tilted her head sideways ,

S- I fell for you before I even realized I did .

His husky whisper near her ears brought shivers down her spine ,she didn't know why . Her blush seemed endless today as this very intimacy shrinked her into a small self that she hugged him tight and hid within his embrace .

S- hey !

He smiled being surprised  feeling her sudden jump to tug on with him . And gradually the fabric of ghunghat fell down demanding her hair to fling free,leaving her in that red blouse and skirt as she has just sat upright to hug him.

There was nil gap between the duo as both tried  gaining  more of the other in that hug, feeling bliss.

After when both would ask for more they pulled back and remained silent with their foreheads brushing on together . He tenderly moved her maangteeka which played an obstacle ,to get a perfect feel of her skin .

He had to admit ,he remained bewitched for a few seconds to collect adoring the beauty infront ,inch by inch . Those fringes just threw themselves on her face from either sides hiding his view that he had to  keep a glance on  always to tuck them back .

An intense gaze was all both could provide the other, steaming the moment to the next level.

She was falling so weak in his touch which was clearly witnessed from those eyes screaming  shyness as she somehow managed to look down or away when his hands traced her waist .

He chinned her up as she took a few seconds to bring her eyelids up facing him .

There was a pleasant smile on her face when she felt his lips planting a shelling secure kiss on her forehead which she knew was nothing but his pure love , his  promise . His words weren't needed when she could already understand where she stands within him. She closed her eyes to feel his mark been sealed.

He left his lips to linger on her skin a little more after which he once again looked at her passing a lovely smile .

She cupped his cheecks and rubbed his beard with a contented smile surrounding her face .

S- I love you wifey !

He declared straight looking into her eyes ending with a smirky wink and she responded immediately.

A- I love you too shivaay !

He pretended to have a fake frown.

S- I expected  hubby instead of shivaay ,

She chuckled before replying .

A- I don't love my husband shivaay alone, I don't love my boyfriend shivaay alone , I don't love my friend shivaay alone , I don't love a stranger shivaay alone rather I love my shivaay who has been with me through everything, as a best partner ,a best friend ,a best boyfriend, a best husband. All these are just names which nowhere stands when it's my shivaay there competing. You aren't related with me by these names alone , you're one who is completely within me by all means . Maybe ,as my life... my heartbeat ...everything !

She completed with words which just made him feel the utmost lucky man on this earth . Getting to be loved by a person gives  strength , then what about this lady here showering him with insane love which was all visible through her glistening eyes .An immense strength and joy !

He himself felt so secure and protected listening to those words of her's.

Indeed, his love was no less too . That's what made them the best . Similarities between them might be the least but their feelings for each other remains a level high anytime .

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness ❤

Precap

Annika feels guilty,
shivaay hides something from her .
