Next morning: 

Anika woke up to see Shivaay sleeping peacefully holding her. A genuine smile formed on her face. Her hand involuntarily moved towards his face. Shivaay woke up by her gentle touch. But he acted to sleep. Anika caressed his face and ruffled his hair. 

Suddenly Shivaay's opened his eyes. Anika immediately took her hand away. 

S: Anika you can continue checking me out! 

He said in his husky voice and increased his grip on her. Anika struggled to get herself free. 

A: Shivaay mujhe jaana hai! Bohot kaam hai mujhe...

S: Anika humesha kaam ke piche bhaagti ho! Mere baare mein bilkul nahi sochthi ho!

He said like a small boy craving for his mom's affection with a pout. 

A: Shivaay aisi lines aapko bilkul nahi suit karti hai! Abhi mujhe jaane dijiye...

She got up from the bed and took her clothes and went to get ready for the day. Today was sangeeth function and everyone was busy in the preparations. Anika came out from the washroom in a simple pink salwar. 

She saw Shivaay talking on phone with someone and was cheerfully greeting them. She moved to him and he cut the call immediately. 

A: Koun tha Shivaay?

S: Well! Office se call tha! Just about some report... Tum tayaar hogayi. Mujhe bhi ready hona chahiye. See you..

He left making Anika confused. Anika was thinking what happened to him. Shrugging her thoughts, she went downstairs to meet everyone. Shivaay also came in a while and everyone had breakfast. Suddenly a voice interrupted them,

Person: Missing us!!!!

Everyone turned back to see Arnav and Mallika. It was Gauri's idea to invite them for her marraige and Shivaay helped her. He thought of suprising Anika. That's the reason he acted strange a moment ago. 

Anika ran to both of them and hugged them tightly.

Mallika: Anika let me breath!!

Anika broke  the hug..

Arnav: Kaisi hai tu?

Anika: Mujhe tujhse bilkul baat nahi karni hai!

Arnav: Kyu?

Anika: Because I don't want to. Idiot, itne din ho gaye hai tumse baat karke. Mallika always chats with me but you wont. And you didn't even tell me that you are coming. 

She turned her face to the opposite side. Arnav loooked at Mallika. She gave deal with yourself wala look.  

Arnav: Anika I know ki meine jo kiya bohot galat kiya hai. Par there was a reason behind it. I actually wanted to suprise you. Theek hai agar tum mujhse baat nahi karna chahti hai to mat kar. I won't tell you a big secret. 

Anika narrowed her eyes and gave him a questioning look. 

Arnav looked at Mallika and she gave an assuring nod. 

Mallika: Anika we r returning to India with in a couple of months. Permanently!

Anika: Sach mein!

Arnav: Ha baba sach mein! Isiliye meine tumse yeh baat chupai. 

He went towards Shivaay. 

Arnav: Thanks Shivaay for the help. Sab kuch easy se manage kar diya tumne. 

Shivaay: I think kisi ne kaha na friends mein no sorry and no thank you. Well we all are happy seeing both of you return back.

Anika: Shivaay aap ne mujhse bhi nahi kaha na! No one cares for me. She said faking anger. 

Shivaay: Anika aisa bilkul nahi hai! Arnav asked me not to tell you. He wanted to give a suprise. We are sorry!

Arnav and Shivaay held their ears and made a puppy face. 

Anika: Acha theek hai! Meine tum dono ko maaf kiya! Welcome back Arnav! She said and hugged him. 

Rudra: Abhi bohot ho gayi hai emotional drama. Abhi sangeeth keliye practice kare!

Everyone agrees. They prepared for different songs till afternoon and had a hearty lunch. 

Shivika room: 

Shivaay was talking to Mishra while Anika was arranging her dress for the party. Anika went towards the balcony area and started watching the outer view. Shivaay cut the call and placed his hand on hers. She gave a warm smile.

S: All set to dance!

He said with a wink.

A: Hmm... And mujhe pucca yakeen hai ki u can't match my level!!

She completed saying with a wink.

S: Dekhte hai!

A: Shivaay aaj mein bohot khush hoon...

S: Jaanta hoon.

Anika was about to say something but Gauri came into their room.

G: Sorry bhaiyya. Meine dekha nahi...

S: Its ok Gauri. Batao kya hua?

G: Anika bhabhi mujhe aapki help chahiye. Aap chaliye mere saath...

Anika smiled at Shivaay and left with Gauri.

Shivaay was alone in his room. Om came to him.

S: Welcome dulha ji!

Om gave a glare and Shivaay ignored it.

S: Om is everything fine?

O: Ha sab kuch theek hai. Par thoda nervous feel ho raha hoon. Now I understand why were you so stressed on your wedding day!

S: Yaad hai Om tumne mujhse mere shaadi ke time pe kuch baat kaha hai. Remind the same words and enjoy these moments...

O: Waise baat toh sahi hai. And bolo hows your life with Anika?

S: Theek hai. And Om I need to thank you...

O: Kisliye...

S: Kyunki mein jaan chuka hoon ki mein Anika se bohot pyaar karta hoon.

O: Congrats man! Did you tell it to her?

S: Nahi. Jab bhi mein yeh baat kehna chahtha hoon I loose my confidence. And you know the worst part, humesha koi na koi disturb karta hai..

O: Ohh!

S: Kya ohh! Tumhare wajah se bhi meine do baar kehna rok diya..

O: Waise sorry for that!

He said and both chuckled.

S: Par I will confess my feelings before this trip ends...

O: All the best buddy!

S: Thanks...

Evening sangeeth:

Gauri was looking like a princess in  royal blue lehenga and Om was looking dashing in blue sherwani complementing her look.

Shivaay was talking with Gayathri mom when Anika made her entry. She was looking gorgeous in her orange anarakali. She was talking with Priyanka and she did not notice Shivaay. Gayathri saw him staring at Anika and left the place smiling.

Suddenly Anika looked at Shivaay who was looking handsome in a simple orange sherwani matching her. Shivaay winked at Anika and gave 👌 about her look.

Anika blushed and immidiately shifted her gaze away. He smirked.

Shivaay made his way to the stage.

S: Ladies and gentlemen! I welcome you all for this function. Sangeet shuru hone se pehle mein Om aur Gauri ke baare mein kuch kehna chahta hoon. Om is not only my best friend but also my brother. Iski shayari se mein pak chuka hoon par I can say that he is the best. Gauri is my little sister same as Priyanka. All I wanted to say is that Om mere behen ka khayal rakhna!

Om took Gauri's hand and nooded yes.

Thats all for the day. I am hell tired and I promise to give next update tomorrow. Lots of love to all...
