Shivaay's face stretched to a constant smile when his wife found solace in his shoulder, He didn't try to wake her up even though he felt a slight pain in his shoulder. For him, Her peace and sleep are more important than anything. But when the announcement hit his ears, He had to wake her up. Removing her earphones from her ears, He tugged her hairs behind her earlobe, She snuggled more into him in sleep. Almost crawled into him. 

"Sweety! Wake up. We are about to land." - He whispered in her ears. She opened her eyes and looked ahead him, For a second, She forgot everything and smiled at him. Her smile again sweeps off his feet. He was witnessing her smile after a long time. He got what he hoped for in this trip. Her smile. 

But soon it started to fade away when the air hostess again announced the landing. She went away from his grip and he stretched his hand to relieve himself from the pain, She gazed him with pity eyes. 

"I am sorry, Is it paining a lot?" - She asked him in a worried tone. But he nodded no with a smile and held her palm tightly. The time was 10 when they reached the hotel to take rest. The cosy hotel room didn't forget to scare anika about the happenings and change in her decision. 

"Not nice?" - He asked her when he saw her distressed face. 

"No. It's beautiful." - She said walking towards the giant transparent window shield, Gazing the whole city in the bird view. 

"Okay, Anu. Freshen up, I will order food for us." - He said taking the telephone to call the hotel.

"I am okay, Shivaay. I am not feeling hungry." - She resisted. 

"What? You also didn't have a proper lunch, I am ordering. I don't want to argue with it." - He said in a slightly cold tone, Leaving her with no choice. 

"Then, You go and freshen up, First. I have to bath." - She said, He nodded to her and ordered everything up to her choice and wish even she didn't ask him anything. He still remembers her wish in his fingertip. And everything happening around her making her think whatever she assumed was nothing but a lie. But she remained silent. After ordering, He went to the washroom to freshen up himself. 

"Sweety." - He called her after getting freshen up. She picked her night suits and left. 

The water from the shower splashed her whole body and also her inner soul which started to wash all the hesitations inside her. She came out clean, But inside, She was fighting with herself. She thought this 8 month of separation brought some change in his behaviour and also slides him away from his guilt. But up to her surprise, He was the same person as before, Same care, Same love. When she took the word love, Her heart stings and stopped thinking for a while and tears rushed out from her eyes along with the water. But she relaxed from the thought and also became tired from fighting with her for him and left everything to fate. If fate brought her there, It will definitely have some reasons in it. Keeping that only in her mind, She went outside. 

She saw him in the balcony witnessing the night sky of Hyderabad having a glass with water next to him. She walked towards him and stood next to him. 

"What happened?" - She initiated the conversation. He quickly wiped off his tears and smiled at her. She was shocked to see the pain mixed smile in his face, This time, He failed to hide his feelings from her. Without her knowledge, She moved close to him and wiped off his tears properly with a shock. 

"It's nothing." - He said and looked away from her. 

"Practice what you preach. You said I don't have to hide my feelings from you. Then why are you hiding everything from me?" - She asked him looking deep into his eyes. 

"It's nothing, Sweety. I got a call from Childcare. Remember we planned to spend two days every month after our child was born. They called and asked about the baby, I just couldn't come over from it. It's okay. It's a part of our life, Atlast. I should have called and told it before." - He said without facing her. But the tears clouded her eyes, She placed her head on his shoulder and cried silently. 

"Everything single thing in that house reminds me of you and you're not there with me. Why are you doing this to me, Anu?" - He asked her looking at her directly. She stayed silent keeping her head in his shoulder. 

"Is there anything that we both can't handle it together?" -  He asked her. She couldn't able to speak anything. 

"I understand, You had a very bad time and experience. For that, You really have to leave me along with everything. You know it would have been so easier for both us if we stay together. Why did you need a break?" - He asked her teary eyes, She didn't reply anything but continued holding his arm.

"Please don't do this to me. Please. We both are hurt, Let's be there each other. Okay?" - He asked her, She again stayed silent holding his arm. 

"Come with me." - He called her taking her inside and made her sit in the bed. And kneeled down before her. 

"Anika Shivaay Singh Oberoi. Let's stop this. Please. I can't deal with it, Anymore. I need you, I need you in my life like I never needed anyone in my life. Please come back to me." - He asked her with teary eyes. She was off. All her hesitations, Points, Accusations which her heart made against him became invalid in a moment, She was not even want to ask him about it. 

"Let's forget everything and move on." - He asked her again but her eyes stuck with him. Unexpectedly, He pulled out a ring box from his track pocket. Anika couldn't believe her own eyes. 

"Let's start afresh, Mrs Oberoi. Please accept my proposal." - He asked while showing her the diamond ring. That ring didn't matter to her but his words and feelings, She didn't wait for a moment but forwarded her left hand to him with a smile mixed with tears. 

"Are you coming back with me?" - He again asked her before slipping the ring in her ring finger. 

"Yes." - She said cupping his face with her other palm. He buried his face in her chest as soon as slipping the ring in her ring finger. She hugged him back tightly. 

"I am sorry." - She cried to him. 

"Please don't leave, hereafter." - He whispered back. 

"Until you ask me for that." - She replied back, He immediately breaks the hug and looked at her shockingly. 

"Why will I ask for that?" - He asked her in confusion. 

"Don't know, Feeling so insecure. Do you mind if I demand anything from you?" - She asked him with teary eyes, The words choked. He felt like now he could understand her properly and united their foreheads together. He completely understood her and what she wanted from him.

He took her lips to his as soon as she closed her eyes. She cried, even more, when she felt him after a long time and she also can able to feel his feeling. She fell back to the bed without her knowledge closing her eyes, He fell above her and slid his hands inside her top and held her waist so passionately while his lips travelled to her neck leaving her wanting for him at every situation. He pulled her top from her head along with her inner garments and moved towards her valleys and rubbed his face, She didn't open her eyes throughout and tears crossed from her uncontrollably. She had no control over her needs and tears. But he didn't stop himself from fulfilling both of their needs. His lips travelled from her stomach to the inner side of her thighs leaving her whole skin in an excited state. Her eyes open widely and shut immediately tightly when she felt him inside. He stopped in-between and crawled upwards towards her naked.

"You don't have to feel insecure. I am fully yours. Keep this in your mind, Sweety." - He whispered while guiding it inside her. She dug her nails in his bare shoulder for support. He was patient until she gets adjusts to him and increased his pace eventually. She pulled his hair from his head literally when they both hit the climax at the same time. She passed out, Learning that, He pulled her close to him and patted her back to sleep. She raised her head with teary eyes when they both tugged inside the blanket. 

"Sleep, Sweety. I will be always there, Next to you, Throughout the whole life." - He said and hugged her even tighter. 

"Please." - She said with teary eyes. He pulled her even closer to him. 

***********

The calling bell started to ring, Over then, Shivaay woke up from the deep slumber. But up to his shock, Anika wasn't there next to him.

"Anu." - He called her and got an immediate answer from the bathroom. Putting his clothes on, He opened the door, It was a room boy holding a sealed package in his hand. 

"For Mrs Oberoi, She ordered it, Sir" - He said and handover the package to him. Shivaay was confused over then, Anika came out wearing a bathrobe. He was delighted to see her smiley face that smile covers whole face not only her face. 

"Hey, beautiful." - He hugged her from back when she combed her hair infront of the mirror with a smile. 

"Hi... Slept well?" - She asked him in a delighted tone. 

"Like never before." - He said kissing her cheek looking at the reflection. 

"That's why I didn't disturb you. Have you checked the time?" - Anika asked him. He switched on the phone and shocked to see it's already 11 in the morning. 

"Oh my god, We are late." - He said and about to leave. But Anika started to unpack the package and filled the water in the glass. She took a pill from the box and had it looking at her reflection.

"What's that?" - He asked her taking that box in his hand. 

"Birth control pills." - She said to him in a hesitant tone. 

"I thought... Until I am ready I mean we are ready." - She immediately changed the sentence and when he glanced the pills and her in a serious note.

"You're right. We badly need time for ourselves." - He said taking her to a hug. She again smiled widely.

"And it's not healthy to use it regularly. It leads to hormonal changes." - She whispered gazing down in blush. 

"I never knew, It's totally unexpected, Right. Anyway, I will become Hardin Scott, And have a pack of it every time I am there with you." - He said chuckling looking at her blushing state. 

"Oh my god! When did you read after?" - She asked in surprise.

"All four parts. In these 8 months." - He chuckled back.

"But you said it's not your kind of book. Then how?" - She asked him. 

"But it's my wife's favourite book. I should give a shot, Right. Not bad, Sweety. It's really, great." - He said with a smile.

"Oh my god, You're totally unexpected. Wait. What have I done to you?" - She asked looking at the pink marks in his neck in shock.
