"Dekho Annika,main tumhari feelings ki qadr karta hu par main tumhe mere patni honeka darja nahi desakta..Please mujhe maaf kardo.." Shivaay apologised to Annika.

Annika was shocked and tears formed on her beautiful eyes.She controlled them with much difficulty.

"Kya main aapse kuch maang sakti hu,Shivaay?" Annika asked amidst tears.

"Bolke dekho.." Shivaay replied.

"Hum dost toh bann sakte hai,hai na? Bahar walo ke saamne pati aur patni banneka dikhawa karna chahiye kyunki agar Daadi ko pata chala toh woh bohut hurt hongi aur main yeh nahi chahti ki veyh humari wajah se dukhi ho.." Annika asked.

"Sure.. So,friends?" Shivaay forwarded his hand and Annika kept her hand on his and shook them.

Later at night,Shivaay and Annika slept on the same bed but had a good amount of distance in between them. The pain of not being accepted as his wife kept her awake. Devoid of sleep was clearly visible in her eyes.

She went near the balcony and stood there holding the rails and observing the moon.She didnt have the track of time.

Tears slowly paced their way out from her eyes and trickled down her cheeks. She sat on the rocking chair and curled her up and sobbed silently.

She had to let her pain out or else these pain will become really difficult for her to tolerate.

Music:

"Main ta jiya na mara,
Haaye veyh das main ki karaa,
Dil jude bina hi toot gaye,
Hatth mile bina hi chhoot gaye,
Ki khel hai khel kismat ne,
Bar bar roye aakhiyaan,
Tenu chhhowe na sakkhiyaan,
Bole al al kudrat ne,
Katta veyh ki te bin,
Teri sau tere bin,
Main te jeeya na maraa.."

Its morning now and Shivaay wakes up to find Annika's side empty.He thought that maybe she woke up early and went downstairs. He woke up to find his clothes,shoes,wallet and handkerchief are settled on her side of bed for his office.He also saw that his phone has been kept on charge by her. He softly smiled and went for a shower.

Annika decorated the Pooja thhal of the Mandir of the Oberoi House while Priyanka helped to keep the Prasad.

She asked Priyanka to call everyone down for the morning Aarti.Priyanka went to call everyone.

Annika was decorating the Thhal and the Mandir when she heard Daadi's voice.
Annika went towards Daadi and touched her feet for blessings and wished her Good Morning.

"Puttar,yeh subha subha kyun jaag gayi tu?Tujhe toh aaram karna chahiye thha?"

"Mujhe jaldi uthne ki aadat hai Daadi.. Aur ghar mein Maa jab Subha ki Aarti karti thhi,tab main unki help karti thhi.. Subha ki Aarti mein kitni shaanti milti hai.." Annika replied with a smile.

"Jeeti reh puttar.. Par,yahaan subha itni jaldi koi nahi uthta sivay Billu,main,Om aur Priyanka ke.. Baaki sab der tak sote rehte hai.." Daadi replied sadly.

Just then,Omkara,Priyanka and Shivaay came down.She saw that Shivaay wore the clothes she took out for him.She smiled and thanked Bhagwan ji for this.

Annika asked the ones' present to join the Aarti. Annika took the conch shell and blew it thrice and started the Ganesh Aarti.

Everyone present in the Mandir during the Aarti enjoyed the Aarti for the first time with full devotion.After the Aarti,she passed on the Dhoop to everyone.She went towards Shivaay and herself gave the dhoop and prasad. Shivaay was left awestruck seeing Annika in such a cool avatar after yesterday night's revelation.

Precap: Shivaay slowly falling for Annika.
