"Shivaay called you baccha?" - Priyanka exclaimed to her when Anika told her about everything to her from the start. She didn't tell her anything about their first night even though they usually talk about the things. She didn't share because expressing his sexual frustration to someone was the last thing she could think about her brother and also she believed that nothing was happened with them till now, Anika really didn't want to burst the bubble of his good impression with her due to things which happened only between them. 

"Yeah. Can you imagine?" - Anika exclaimed in shock while having tea in the canteen and none of her friends was around her when she was talking with her. Priyanka understood and appreciated her brother for his choice for not revealing her marital status to her friends.

"I think I should share at least with Yami..." - Anika said to her. 

"Don't even think about it, Anika. I know she's your good friend. But I don't trust her. Let's wait till this year ends. And also it's about the matter of three months." - She said and also anika didn't understand in which way her marital status will affect her college life. Both sister and brother mind going in one sync but she was way away from that track.

"What did she ask when she came with Arshat to deliver the medicine, Yesterday." - Priyanka asked her. 

"She didn't ask me anything. In fact, She was scared to talk to me, I overreacted yesterday's night. It's all because of your brother. He neither skipped his medicine nor I showered my anger to her. And Arshat's face was down when he came to know his age in his prescription. I think he got the wave." - Anika said in a flow. 

"Which wave?" - Priyanka asked her in confusion.

"The confused wave between me and shivaay. His mood swings, My lord. In the morning he announced that we will stay in separate rooms and evening his things shifted to my room. What the hell going on in his mind?" - Anika asked her. 

"It's all because of the shits created by tia in his life. He needed time to overcome." - Priyanka said understanding. 

"And tia. How someone can leave him with a simple note? And you're sure, Right? It's not because of us?" - Anika asked her in a scared tone.

"Are you mad, Ani? She didn't have any interest in him. Still didn't understand how come she proposed to him for marriage?" - Priyanka asked her. 

"I don't know, Yaar. But I think we spoke to her a lot in sangeet. And also, I still didn't understand what's the problem in hiding about his surgery to her, It was not a historical event to share with everyone." - Anika said to her. 

"Yes, Even I am confused why did she reacted in that way. She looked so shocked. And also, Where is that lady baba and where's my brother?" - Priyanka said. Anika was confused but still, She has a strong feeling that something else other than this issue was up with tia. 

"Did we blabber anything else to her?" - Anika asked her. 

"We spoke to her after the three meets. We knew our limits, Ani. And clearly, we are not the responsible one. Don't let it disturb you, Darling. And yeah, How your mock test went?" - Priyanka changed the topic. 

"Average, Bro." - Anika exclaimed to her. 

"STOP, Bitch. I know what really your average mean? You said the same before four years while performing neet and jipmer. But your AIR is in two digits. So shut the hell up and listen." - Priyanka said. 

"I born for this, I think." - She said. 

"Since everything happened so quickly, I have no time to congratulate you both, So I have decided to give you some useful gifts. And you have to tell me which will be the correct time to present that?" - Priyanka asked. 

"Shut up, If you're planning to gift me a set of c's" - Anika exclaimed in blushing. She started to smile unknowingly when she recalled their discussion about gifting each other useful gifts for their marriage and sex life. But she never expected this situation in any case. 

"Well, That will be an additional gift. I am planning for Bora-Bora. I will drop that plan if you didn't like it." - Priyanka said, Her lips formed a big 'o' thinking about her long time wish. 

"Gift it right the way. I will repeat my year for Bora-Bora! Please bro!" - Anika exclaimed. 

"First, I am not your bro, I am your nanath. And you're my bhabhi. I can able to gift you right the way, But I personally didn't want you to go for a dry-honeymoon. You say when you both are ready and the next moment, I will be the first person to pack you both there, I promise." - Priyanka said. 

"But can't you book one ticket for me for solo-honeymoon?" - Anika asked her. 

"Tell me exactly what you're meaning in the name of solo-honeymoon." - Priyanka. 

"Nothing like that what you're thinking dirty bitch. Solo honeymoon is like Rani in the movie queen." - Anika said to her. 

"Then, Technically, I should present it to my brother, Not you." - Priyanka chuckled.

"But rani is the bride. I am the bride, Here." - Anika said.

"But the bride ran away, Groom is pitier in your situation, My darling. And I hope, the new bride didn't take time to change the word 'Baccha' to 'Babe'. Anu. Both meant the same. So he called you baccha instead of a baby. What progress, My love?" - Priyanka said. 

"You know what! I am done with you both. Just... Just go to hell." - Anika said with irritation. But inside, Anika saw it as progress and also he started interacting with her like never does. The way, He hugged her sidewards in the sleep still there in mind. A smile automatically appeared in her face thinking about the situation. Her heart wishes to wake up like that with him rest of her life, But that wish went on hold when her warden rejected her vacating application and asked her to leave after the year ends, Exactly after Three months. 

***********

"You both needed this space to think about yourselves, Seriously." - Om exclaimed when shivaay conveyed the news to him next moment after anika called him and tell him about the news. Rather being relaxed, His face fell down. Om can see his growing feelings for anika. 

"What's there to think hereafter? She's my wife and I am her husband. What else to think?" - He said in a stressed tone. 

"Okay, Why are you distressed this much? What's troubling you, Now? Forgot, Yesterday you decided to stay in a different room. I had to make you understand that whatever you were doing was wrong. Now when you finally got what you badly needed, What suddenly stressing you?" - Om asked him. Shivaay stood up from his chair and started walking slowly around the room.

"She's not a kid whom I have known for so many years. She really likes me..." - Shivaay said thinking about the incident when she couldn't able to hold up the tears when he was unwell last night. 

"It's natural, shivaay. She likes you because you're her husband. That's it. What else to think?" - Om took revenge right the way and continued to chuckle. 

"And also don't think I am comparing. But this kind of feel, It's too new. The way she loses her patience to her friends when I was unwell and when she confronted me with tears with those advises. I felt some pain, Right here." - He pointed his heart to him. "And also, That pain didn't hurt me but instead, consoled me that... That... She's... Anika... Anu... I feel like I am alone in this world. And she's the one who's responsible for this feel. And I didn't feel like this with her. Tia..." He said in excitement but after taking the name of tia, He went silent. Om understood, His prediction was not a prediction anymore. He started to feel for her and Also tia wasn't affecting him anymore. If he says that to Him, He won't accept. And decided to deal it on his own. 

"Well, Shivaay! You definitely needed this 3 months of time. And my only advise is, Go with the flow, Don't plan anything. Do whatever your heart says." - Om said with a smile. 

"I am confusing you, Right." - Shivaay asked him.

"I think you're not confusing me. I can understand and I am desperately waiting for the day when you say the word that she's the one. That day was not too long." - Om said. 

"Of course, She's the one, She's my wife." - Shivaay argued. 

"Shivaay! Shivaay! Shivaay!... Okay, I will never say, Anything. the time will come when you completely understand the words. Till then, Shall we continue our work? Sharma's files are still pending."- Om said and made him divert from every topic, But he can't divert from one topic, Anika, His eyes continuously went to his phone for every notification and most importantly, He didn't switch off his phone. 

**************

Two months flew away in a jiffy, And both were in peace to concentrate on their own career than disturbing their life which is yet to speak out and freak out many things between them. Shivaay wonders how he expects her next to him in the bed every time he wakes up. But it always ends up with a smile and sweet good morning text to her. Her replies were always in seconds. They had been in touch with texts very constantly in these two months. And they almost forget that it was an unexpected marriage. But finding a good time with each other even though they are away by distance. Om didn't sneak into his life but shivaay takes the name of anika at least two times in an hour which was not a normal sign from shivaay according to om since he knows him for the past 10 years. He never takes tia's name this much frequent even after their marriage was on cards. But Anika did create some changes in him. 

"Is everything fine with you?" - Shivaay asked her when she sounded so low in the phone which he attempted to call after getting a text with spelling mistakes to him. She never did that, He noticed her very crucial in this two month. He was in the cabin of his office. 

"Clearly not! I want to chill." - Anika said in a tired tone.

"Chill, Who will chill when you're having the exam in the next morning. People will study, Anika." - Shivaay said with a chuckle. 

"I know but I want to chill, I want to get out from this jail, Breath a little and be a new person. Please save me." - Anika started to dramatically over the phone. Shivaay seeing this version of her for the first time. 

"Anu... You're being so so dramatic, Right now." - He said while chuckling hard. 

"I want to chill, Bro!" - Anika said in a crying tone. 

"Hey! I am not your bro!" - His reply was instant.

"It's a phrase! And Arshat making me crazy. I don't know why I yes okay to teach him. Staying with me like a magnet. Who does that?" - Anika asked him. His mind slightly started to care when he heard a boy's name from her mouth for the first time. 

"Arshat? Is that the same guy who came with Yami, That night?" - He asked her. Anika stayed silent for a second but eventually said 'yes' to him.

"Did he know about us?" - He asked her. 

"No. Not fully!" - She replied. 

"Not fully? I can't get you." - He asked her. 

"It means they know about us, Not fully!" - She replied. 

"Anu... wait. What they know about us?" - He asked her. 

"I said, I am in a relationship with you, Did I say anything wrong?" - She asked him innocently, For a second, He couldn't able to understand what she said for a while but he was smiling, Smiling so hard and couldn't even able to reply anything to her. 

"Shivaay! Are you there?" - She asked. 

"I don't know." He clears his throat. "I mean I don't know what is mean by the chill in your dictionary, But I can help you with ice cream. Your hostel is just 5 mins drive from my office. What you say?" - He asked her with the same smile. 

"Sounds like..." - She stopped. 

"Sounds like..." - He asked.

"A date..." - She finally said. He closed the receiver for a while and chuckled hard.

"Anyway, It's your call, At last." - He said.

"Will be ready in five minutes." - She said in a blushy tone.
