•OBEROI MANSION•
The morning was special & different coz the gone night witnessed the unison of two loving souls. Two souls who literally craved for each other, who got tested by the destiny, who face real hardships to become one. The morning saw them still entangled with each other. This bond was not temporary it was forever.

Annika opened her eyes to get the heavenly glimpse of her ever so charming & handsome husband lying next to her. His hands were resting on her waist. Her head was on his chest. The way he was still holding her tightly was telling how much he loved her. He never wanted her to go from his life and she literally got overwhelmed by the feeling.

She smiled looking at him, everything that happened the last night was dancing in front of her eyes and she was just blushing. Her heart felt proud of the fact that the last night was not same as her previous first night coz then may be the emotions were real but were not clear to her husband but this time it was all clear in his head. He did everything coz he wanted to mark her his, coz he wanted to love her and not because he needed some support from her. Tilting her head a little up, she looked at his face & pecked his cheek softly and blushed. The moment her lips touched his cheeks an innocent smile appeared on his face. It was as if he was sleeping still he could feel her presence near him.

She softly touched his face and after admiring him for sometime she was about to get up from the bed when she felt a firm hold on her arm. She turned to see his bluish green eyes adoring her.

"Where do you think you are going Mrs. ASSO?" he asked raising his brows & looking at her with squinting eyes.

"Sh..i..vaay" she said while he carefully pulled him towards her keeping in mind her adorable baby bump. She landed in his arms with the darkest shade of red on her cheeks.

"You deserve a punishment" he said looking at her while his fingers played with the hair strands on her cheeks.

"And for what Mr. SSO?" she asked amused. His fingers on her cheeks making her go more red.

"For taking away the peace of my heart" he said coming close to her while she held his shoulder.

The way she blushed made him crazy. She was already glowing due to pregnancy and now this new beautiful glow on her face made her look surreal.

He nuzzled near her collarbone and kissed her.

"Shi..vaaa..y leave me" she managed to speak. This man was such a torturer, although she loved him and all his tortures, ALOT.

"Don't you even think that I will leave you now! I don't know what magic have you done on me, it's really hard to stay away from you" he said looking into her deep eyes and smiling.

"The magic is called Love Shivay" she said with a pride on her facing realising the fact that they loved each other.

He smiled, moving closer to her face. The proximity between them was growing wild. He softly kept his lips on hers and gave her the first morning kiss. It was a soft kiss, as if they allowed their lips to tell how much they respected and loved each other.

Feeling low of oxygen they broke the kiss. She looked down while he kissed her forehead saying "I love you Annika"

She looked up at him and replied "I love you too Shivay" with the same intensity and honesty in her eyes.

Shivay was about to say something when he saw her getting up from the bed with a jerk and running towards the washroom with her hands on her mouth.

Shivay was literally blank for a moment. He couldn't understand what just happened. He ran behind her and followed her to the washroom.

"Annika...!!!" he literally schreamed when he saw her puking in the wash basin. She was looking so exhausted.

He went behind and started caressing her back firmly. His face was covered with sweat and worry.

"What happened Annika?? Should I call the doctor?" he asked while caressing.

She was finally feeling a bit okay. She washed her face and came into the room with his help and sat on the bed. Her face was looking flushed as if all the glow just drained out.

"Annika.. let me call the doctor" Shivay said after making her sit on the bed and wiping her face with a towel.

"Sh..Shivay I m fine. There is no need to call the doctor. Vomiting and nausea are normal in pregnancy" she told him.

"But I have never seen you like this Annika" he still looked worried.

"It used to happen mildly Shivay, but today it really was more unexpected" she said explaining to him.

Shivay looked at her and kissed her forehead while hugging her tightly.

"Annika I m really sorry for not being able to be there with you when you needed me. I know I was there but the circumstances didn't actually allowed me to play my role perfectly but now I m here with you. Just don't worry about any damn thing. Take rest, eat properly and think positive that's it. Rest I will manage. And thanks a lot for bearing all these things, all these sudden health issues and mood swings to gift me the best present of this world" Shivay said and caressed her tummy lovingly. The guilt, the feelings, the grateful ness was visible from his light coloured eyes.

"Shivay, whatever I m suffering is not because of you. It's because of us, it's because of our's and I m really proud to suffer all this. I m really grateful to god for choosing me as the mother of your baby." she said.

He was so happy. He couldn't Thanks his stars for blessing him with this beautiful lady inside out.
He hugged her while she hugged back.

"Shivayyy" she said

"Hmmm" he replied still hugging her, with eyes closed.

"Get me some blueberry cheese cake na?" she said with an innocent tone.

"What?? Cheesecake in the morning?" Shivay asked amusingly.

"Yes, I feel like eating it right now" she replied with a twinkle in her eyes. She looked so cute with that excitement of eating a cheesecake.

"But Annik" he was cut in between

"Fine don't get me cheesecake, I'll tell your baby that daddy doesn't loves him" she said pouting while her nose gone red with anger.

Was she suffering mood swings too? That too suddenly? Like seriously!? A few moment ago she was all calm and composed and now suddenly she was behaving like a fierce queen. Shivay knew he is going to witness this side of her pregnancy regularly now so it was better to behave like a good loving husband.

"I love my baby okay? Just give me some time, I'll arrange the cheesecake for you" Shivay said making her smile widely.

"Your world's bestest daddy" she exclaimed in excitement.

"Well that I am and what about husband? How would you like to complement me on that?" he asked her.

She went towards the washroom, and entering into it she said
"5/10 on that" and closed the door on his face while her giggles surrounded the room.

"Youuuu!!" he could say nothing but just beat the door of the washroom while he smiled at the cuteness of his wife.

She came out dressed in a beautiful yellow maternity frock which Shivay bought for her when she was angry with him. The cute light coloured maternity frocks made her look more ethereal as well as angelic.

She never forgot to fill the partition with vermillion but today when she came to the dressing table she couldn't find it. She was about to bend down to look for it in the last drawer when Shivay came and held her hand.

"You are not supposed to bend down like that, you know right?" Shivay asked her.

"I know but I was just looking for" she was about to complete her sentence when he opened his fist in front of her, the small vermillion case was there in front of her eyes.

"So you took it? May I ask why?" she asked trying to take that box from his hands but he moved his hands back not allowing her to take it back.

"Yes because this is my duty and Shivay Singh Oberoi never backs off from his duty" he said with that same old tadi in his eyes.

"Damn he looked so freaking sexy with that tadi" she thought.

"But Shivay" he kept his finger on her lips to avoid her from speaking.

"Shhh..." he said looking straight into her eyes. She was quiet.

Taking a pinch of the vermillion from the box, he gently filled her partition with it. She closed her eyes with the feeling of the peace that she got when he filled her partition. She remembered the day of their wedding and those moments which followed after it filled her eyes with tears. That was the day when he was literally cursing himself for marrying her, he hated her for marrying him and now this was a day when he himself was filling her partition again with that same sacred vermillion but the feelings now were so positive and different. Seeing the tears dripping from her eyes, he got worried and asked

"What happened Annika? Why are you crying? Is it hurting anywhere?" he asked cupping her face.

She opened her eyes and kept her hands on his hands.
"Nothing Shivay, just thanking my stars for blessing me with you" she said hiding her feelings. She didn't wanted him to think about his mistakes and feel bad for behaving like that with her.

"Oh so these are happy tears? But you know what! I don't even like these in your beautiful eyes" he said wiping them and kissing her cheeks.

She smiled and blushed while hugging him tightly.
"She could not imagine her life without him, not anymore" her mind told her.

"I know what you were thinking Annika, I know your past memories with me are really bitter, they still make you shiver with fear but I promise I will make the future so dreamy and beautiful for you that it will wash away all the harsh memories. I won't leave you ever." Shivay thought hugging her back and kissing her hairs.
