Jhanvi was the first one to come out of the room in the early morning, Soon she regretted to come out so soon when she saw her son and daughter-in-law sleeping in the couch forgetting the whole world. She was sleeping in his chest and he held her tight to his grip like he never wants to leave her any moment. Jhanvi couldn't take her eyes off from them. They were too adorable, But being in the wedding house, She can't let them stay like that even though she wishes. 

During shivaay's wedding, Tia's family blamed them for hiding shivaay's health issues from them and their daughter. And also trashed them in every way which eventually led them to take the decision when Harshavarthan trivedi slapped tia's father for speaking ill about tej in front of everyone. Shivaay didn't know anything about it but anika did. All the three, Anika, Anusha and harsh were deeply hurt by their words, Over then, out of sudden, Anika's father asked anika to marry shivaay with confidence. Also Anika didn't say anything back, But nodded to his decision leaving everyone in the room including Anusha in shock. But shivaay didn't say okay to marry anika until jhanvi threadened him with her health issues. She didn't urge her son, But Tia's parents words had a large impact in her mind. They started to branch in his health issues some part of their family started question him about his sexuality which made her so impatient on that day. 

But now, Seeing them so cute together, She stopped regretting her decision. With much hesitation, She nudged her son's shoulder. He snuggled in sleep and hugged her even tighter, She started to cough due to the intensity of hug in sleep which made him wake up from the deep sleep. 

"I am sorry!" - He whispered looked down at her, In a moment, He recalled the nudge in his shoulder and turned around. 

"Mom." - He said and came out of sleepy state as soon as he saw her behind her. But Anika was still sleeping in the same state. 

"Both go inside and sleep. Chachi will be arriving at any moment. She said she's on her way." - Jhanvi whispered with a smile. He nodded with a smile. He didn't have heart to wake her up, He shifted his gaze from her to his mom. She understood and proceeded her way towards the kitchen with a heart full of happiness. As soon as his mom left, He lifted her in his arms and proceeded the way towards his room. He covered her with a duvet and left the room not before kissing her forehead. 

"Hi mom." - He said accompanying her to the kitchen.

"I asked you to take rest why did you come so soon?" - Jhanvi asked him with a smile. 

"It's okay." - He said preparing himself a coffee. 

"Life is so unpredictable, Right. Before an year, At the same time, I thought I made a very big mistake and destroyed both of my children lives.  Anu was not lesser than you both. I almost cried everyday regretting my decision. Now, Seeing you both happy together, I can't stop my happy tears from flowing." - Jhanvi chuckled while wiping off her tears, Shivaay didn't wait to hug her.

"From now on, Don't regret for the decision. We are happy. Okay!" - He said cupping her face. 

"But why did you both stay away from each other for eight long months. Is there anything unsolvable?" - She asked him, Taking their two cups, Shivaay proceeded his way towards the dinning. 

"Is anything happened?" - She again asked him. 

"Many things, Mom. Happened at one go. How will be both react to it other than taking this long break?" - He started. 

"I lied to you, Mom. It was not a normal miscarriage. The baby was a special child with down syndrome. Anusha aunty was against to our decision of keeping the child so we moved out of her house that evening itself. Even Anika stopped talking to her." - Shivaay said, His eyes automatically got welled up. Jhanvi was shocked to hear that. 

"Down syndrome?" - Jhanvi asked in a choking tone. 

"Yes, But I think it was destined by the above person. We lost her. From then, Everything changed. Anu became a different person completely. Everyday, There will be a new change in her and I felt like loosing her forever if she stays with me. That's why, I didn't argue with her when she informed about doing her resident in chennai. She left. But last night changed my entire perspective." - He said, He couldn't hold up his tear, It flowed uncontrollably. Jhanvi immediately picked his palm and held it tighter. He told her everything, Instead of calming him down jhanvi showed her anger on him. 

"Are you mad, Shivaay? How could you do that? Not anika, Every single girl in the earth will feel like when they saw their husbands helping his pregnant ex-girlfriend. Why on the earth she asked your help to find the father of her child?" - Jhanvi asked her. 

"Trust me, Mom. I had no intensions to help her but her condition, She was all alone, Pregnant. I helped her only in the conscience of humanity, Nothing else. When she said she cheated on me with robin, it neither hurt me nor I felt angry on her. She felt nobody to me." - He said arguing his point. 

"Don't argue, Shivaay. Whatever you did was wrong. At least you would have looped us in." - She stopped when they saw anika in the place.

"Can you permit to loop into your conversation?" - She asked her. 

"I don't what to say, Anu. It's all because of him."  -  Jhanvi started to scold him directly. 

"Well Mother-in-law, Why are you over-reacting to this small issue?" - Anika asked taking the seat next to shivaay. 

"Small issue. Are you both went out of your mind?" - Jhanvi almost yelled at them. 

"Oh my god, Did you tell her that you invited both robin and Tia to Priyanka's wedding?" - She asked shivaay who slammed his head in the table reacting to her. 

"WHAT THE HELL? YOU INVITED THAT WOMAN TO MY DAUGHTER'S WEDDING?" - She yelled at him. Anika looked at her shockingly when she saw her yelling at her for the first time. 

"But." - She continued to say. 

"SHUT UP, ANU. YOU BOTH LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY. I EVEN DON'T WANT THAT WOMAN'S SHADOW IN MY CHILDREN'S LIFE. Shivaay doesn't know about anything, But you were at that place when they spoke ill about him. Atlast, It's going to be your decision. If you both really respects me, I will never ever permit her to come back to my children's lives as anyone." - She said and left. Anika couldn't able to blink. But shivaay stared at her with questionable eyes. 

"What?"- She asked him. 

"What did they speak about me?" - He asked her, But anika continued to ignore him taking a sip from his coffee. 

"Anu. You can't ignore me." - He said turning her towards him. 

"Just an ignorable talks, Shivaay which has nothing to do with our lives. Can we just leave it as it was." - She said hugging him sidewards. He left with no options other than leaving the topic. 

"What shall we do? Robin was already in guilt. He even started a business over there. And here his kid has to grow up without a father. Oh my god! It's terrific to imagine. I would be relaxed if he takes the responsibility of Arjun, At least." - He said holding her palm tightly which was hugging. 

"You already invited them, Right. Leave it to me." - She said taking another sip of his coffee. His hands from the palm moved to her waist and held her tightly closely to him. She could feel him, If he thinks about other's baby to this much extent, He must have think about his baby a lot. She feel like a selfish for holding the thoughts of babies. They had to break the hug abrupty when they heard shivaay's chachi's bold voice from the drawing room. 

"I think she came." - Shivaay whispered to her and they walked towards the hall. Anika totally forgot she was in her night tracks still. They both greeted pinky, Their chachi while taking blessings from her. Anika had a bad impressions over his chachi since childhood. She always feels her like annoying. That too, Especially when she arrived during priyanka's and Anika's pre-boards, She got headaches leaving their house. Pinky always left her with headaches, Suffocation and headspining with her as a return gift. But now, After becoming their first daughter-in-law, She had to tolerate everything with a smiley face. 

"I think now-a-days daughter-in-law's became so liberate. Getting blessings in night tracks." - She posted her first comment against her with a chuckle. Over then, Anika checked her while shivaay and Jhanvi rolled their eyes towards her. 

"Chachi. Time is 5 AM. We just now woke up." - Shivaay supported her in an instant. 

"Pinky, Go and fresh up, first. Let's have breakfast" - Everyone heard tej's voice who came out fresh from his room. 

"After one long year of marriage, I think I got to eat the breakfast prepared by my daughter-in-law, So excited, Beta." - Pinky pinched Anika's cheek harder and left to the guest leaving everyone in the shocked state. Shivaay, Jhanvi and Tej shifted their gaze from one to another while anika gazed pinky till she reaches her room. 

"Why people are so demanding?" - Anika asked all the three while she finally went inside the guest room. 

"Anu, You go and get ready. I will prepare the breakfast." - Jhanvi offered to help her while she rubbing her cheeks due to pain. 

"And also your hand is injured, Right." - Shivaay said holding her.

"Do same thing which I asked you to do in shivaay's wedding. Ignore her with a smile. You don't have to worry for anyone until we are here." - Tej said to her in a worried tone. 

"Dad. It's not only my wedding." - He said controlling his chuckle looking at her who was so blank. But she started walking towards priyanka's room. 

"Hello. Madam." - He said pulling her to their room. She thudded herself in the bed as soon as she reached the room. 

"I am feeling like married." - Anika whispered to shivaay when he sat next to her. Soon he thudded next to her when she went into deep thought. 

"Your chachi always leave me with headaches. No offense, But seriously, Her language to her laugh, Everything provokes headache." - Anika whispered, But when he pull her close to him she heaved out a deep breath and relaxed. 

"But she called me when we left to Pondicherry after the wedding and asked me to take a good care of you, Saying you're too young and made decisions quicker. And also she asked me to be extra calm with you." - He said, She looked at her with a shock. 

"Seriously!" - She asked. 

"Why will I lie?" - He asked intertwining their fingers with one another. 

"Sweety, Where's your ring?" - He asked her again checking her left hand. 

"In my purse." - She replied calmly. He got up from the bed and searched for her Purse in her bag and pulled out the ring which he presented her. The solitare diamond ring, One of rare collection of the famous jewellery designer. He waited for almost three months for the ring. He got slightly hurt when he didn't find it in her fingers on the first place. But eventually understood the situation. 

"Last warning. You will never take this ring off from your finger at any cost." - He said and again slipped the ring in her hand while returning back to his same place, Next to her in the bed. 

"Never." - She said raising her head and kissing his cheek. The slight pain in his heart went no where along with the kiss. She looked straight into his eyes with the deep intensity of love and passion rushing out from both of their eyes but they both stayed like statue. 

"May the bride kiss the groom?" - She finally asked him directly. 

"But the groom is stinking." - He said chuckling. But she pulled him close to her and initiated the kiss. They didn't rush but kissed like never before with the full intensity, Showing off all their love in one go. It give only smile as a by product. For both of them, They were in seventh heaven. 

**********

"What a beautiful ring?" - Pinky said analysing her hand, She was smiling through out. It became constant in her face. After her, Priyanka and Jhanvi started analysing the ring. Shivaay was happy to stare at her smiley face. 

"For what?" - Pinky asked him. 

"First wedding Anniversary." - Shivaay replied with a smile. 

"It has been one year, Right." - Jhanvi exhaled with a relief. 

"You should have hosted a party for their first anniversary, Bhabhi ji. After all, Many of people still thinks that shivaay got married to that woman." - Pinky said. 

"For that, Both should be available right. Anika was doing her internship and as always shivaay, Busy with his work." - Jhanvi said an excuse even though she knew the reason. 

"It's okay, We will get married, Again." - Shivaay said, There were a pin drop silence, Everyone stopped eating and started to stare at him shockingly including Anika, Her smile faded away for a while. 

"You felt haldi ceremony as a sexual harrassment." - Priyanka said first. 

"Yes, But..."  - Shivaay argued. 

"You referred sangeeth as a circus." - His mom asked him second. 

"Yeah, But now." - Shivaay tried to argue. 

"You called me a pirate straightly when I asked you for the gift to give your wedding sherwani." - Anika asked him third. 

"Did I?" - He chuckled in embarrassment. 

"You did!" - Anika said in a confirmed tone. 

"End of the topic. You're not a suitable person for the wedding. Enough of embarrassment on the first time." - Tej announced.
