It's been a one and a half month since Shivika arrived Canberra. They are very much happy with each other. While Anika is slowly falling for him, Shivaay is always supporting her. Their day starts and ends in each other's arms. They always find ways to be close to each other. They are behaving like newly weds, always being together. It's like they are enjoying honeymoon phase of their life. And the best part is that she is again calling him as billu ji. He was longing to hear that name from her.

Everything is good except Shivaay's self control. His intentional and non-intentional touches, surprising hugs and kisses are the perfect proof for his cheapdapan, as Anika describes his acts. Well the fact that he is has a beautiful wife is not at all helping. Many times he had this urge to make love to her but stops himself. He thanks his stars most of the times as situations interrupt him from proceeding further. He also spent times under cold showers to control his hormones.

For Anika, Shivaay is the person for whom she wants to share everything. Smile never leaves her face when she is with him. She eagerly listens whatever he says. The coffee time they share in the mornings is the best time for her. She always likes to cuddle with him. She is having this different glow on her face. Her soul feels relaxed and light. She sleeps peacefully and also gained a little weight, courtesy his pampering and love for her. She is happy that she had given a chance to him. She feels butterflies in her stomach when she feels his touch, his kisses. She gets all blushy blushy with his cheapda stunts.

What amazes her the most is that he never loses his smile on his face even she doesn't confesses those 3 magical words. Is his love selfless? She thinks sometimes. But in all this she forgot the point that she is showing her love for him through her actions. She wants him to win. To loose herself in his love. And as promised to him, she also wants to confess her love to him soon.

The change in both of them is clearly observed by Oberoi family also. Their closeness and their happy smiles made all their family members happy. All they want is Shivika to be happy always. At the beginning, their family had a doubt that whether they are pretending to be a happy couple for the sake of their family. But it was Shivaay who assured them that both of them are really happy and Anika is truly giving him a chance for him to win her.

Right now they are sleeping peacefully in each other's arms. Well its a Sunday and he is so happy that he could spend entire day with her. Pulling her more close to him, he inhaled her fragrance which made him smile. She also held him in a tight grip. Both of them looked like missing pieces of puzzle. She felt peace in his embrace while he is hiding himself in the safest place. He stirred in sleep and opened his eyes slowly. The first sight that he saw was her. His love. Seeing her sleeping peacefully makes him smile always.

He kissed her forehead and made her lie down on the pillow. Taking support of his elbow, he rested his face in his palm and looked at her. His other hand moved involuntarily to tuck those hair strands that were blocking his view. He was drowning himself in her. He slowly started to caress her lower lip with his thumb. She also woke up in a while to see him completely checking her out.

A: Good morning!

S: It's indeed a good morning!

A: Acha woh kaise?

S(husky voice): Because my lovely wife wished me Ani!

She smiled. He had been calling her Ani all of a sudden. When she asked what he replied was that he also wants to call her with another name like does. She likes the way he calls her Ani.

S: Seems like wifey ji drowned herself in my thoughts. It's okay to drown also, After all I know I am handsome & sexy! And waise bhi you have the rights to check me out!

A: Whatever floats on your boat billu ji!

S: That was mean Ani..At least maan leti! Mera bichare dil keliye!

Anika giggled. He leaned towards her and rested his forehead on hers. She smiled and cupped his cheeks.

A: Waise..aaj ka kya plan hai?

S: Plan..toh..Ani ke saath romance!

A: Cheapda Singh Oberoi!

S: Yes I am! And I am proud to be your Cheapda Singh Oberoi!

He rubbed his nose against hers making her blush deeply. He leaned forward kiss her but their moment got ruined when Leo barked and jumped on the bed. Anika laughed seeing his face. Pushing him to a side, she took Leo in her arms and kissed on top of its head.

A: Good morning Leo!

S: This is injustice!

A: Kyu?

S: You are pampering presents given by me but you won't pamper me! This is a punishable offence Mrs. Shivaay Singh Oberoi!

A: No problem!

Shivaay pouted and took Leo from her.

S: Chef Shivaay Singh Oberoi is at your service milady! You go and freshen up!

She giggled and about to go when Shivaay pecked her cheek and rushed downstairs leaving a shocked and blushing Anika behind.

Shivika had their breakfast and Anika pouted looking at him.

S: Kya hua?

A: Pinky ma ne sahi kaha tha! You didn't take her anywhere and now you are not taking me anywhere!

S: Bolo kaha jaana hai?

A: Anywhere!

S: What about a Bollywood movie date?

A: Canberra mein Bollywood movie?

S: Yes! Now go and get ready soon!

Anika nodded and ran to their room.

S: Careful you mad woman!

A: Same to you mad man!

(Now don't ask me which movie it is!!)

Shivika enjoyed the day to their maximum. Shivaay was happy seeing her happy. He thanked God for millionth time for sending her back to his life. They also did shopping and purchased gifts secretly for each other. While Shivaay purchased a platinum chain with heart shaped diamond pendant, Anika purchased a pen with golden nib for him. They thought of giving to each other at night. They even had dinner at a finest restaurant of Shivaay's choice.

They opened up regarding their pasts. Anika talked about how she started her firm Khushi and Shivaay had listened everything carefully. He even asked her about Sahil's leg surgery. Shivaay shared how he started his firm and how it remembered him of his initial days of his career. They came to know more about each other and Shivaay really felt proud of her success.

They reached back home and Shivaay held her hand taking her to pool side.

A: Aap mujhe yaha kyu leke aaye hai?

S: Come on..A date without dance doesn't sound good right?

Anika blushed. He forwarded his hand asking for dance. Anika smiled and asked for no music like Kajol from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. He smirked and did Shah Rukh Khan's finger movement. Slowly he started to dance holding her in his arms. It felt heaven for him. Where only Anika and he existed. Far away from the hustle bustle, problems, tensions. They got lost into each other.

As they ended their dance, he leaned forward and kissed her. She smiled and gave up herself to him. She poured all those unsaid emotions in it. Breaking apart for air, she rested her forehead against his.

S: Ani?

A: Hmm..

S: Can I love you Anika?

His eyes had that passion and desire for her. He couldn't control it anymore but won't take a step ahead without her permission. Anika blushed deeply.

S: I know, I didn't win your heart completely..

A: I won't regret giving myself to you Shivaay! Because I know its only you for me!

Those words broke all those fears from his heart. Sometimes he asks himself will she love him back or not after what all he did to her in the past but today hearing this from her he was on cloud nine. Picking her up in his arms, he moved to their room not breaking their eye contact. Her smile had a mix of shyness and happiness. His eyes proving the love he have for her. Making her lie down on the bed and he hovered her.

S: Promise me Anika, after tonight we will be one forever...I can't even imagine of loosing you again!

A: Pinky promise Shivaay! I will never leave you!

He kissed her forehead. That night she surrendered herself to his love and he marked her his with all his love.
